One day we will
Cuddle on the couch while we watch a movie,
Go to the park and eat ice cream,
Cook dinner together,
Go to the carnival and i’ll try to win you a prize
Go the beach and watch the sunset together,
Get matching pillow cases, so when we sleep, we can hear the beat of our hearts,
Go to Disneyland and live our lives happily ever after.

Headline of the Day
As most of you my faithful readers knew, I have this passion for front pages and covers of broadsheets, tabloids, and magazines. And here’s one that caught my attention earlier this morning after attending the 6:00 AM Sunday Mass.
And this one is being sold at the patio of the Church - just less than fifteen steps from the doors of the church. Cool eh?
Interested for this story of perversion and lewd act of a police? Go grab yourself a copy of People’s Tonight.
And as for the other things:
- I will always consider the infectious “Making Love Out of Nothing at All” as the anthem for masturbation.
- Jinkee and Paris-textmate na? - I wonder when will Paris be the next Krista Ranillo for Manny Pacquiao. I can see that one coming. Oops!
- Today is Mommy Dionisia’s celebration of her 18th birthday. She may not look like 18 but her party looks like that of an 18-year old. Seriously.
- Today is the feast day of San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of farmers. Being an agricultural country, many Parishes here in the Philippines were named under his patronage. Expect the Pahiyas Festival in Lucban, Quezon, numerous fiestahan on different towns and barrios, and drunk manongs singing “My Love will See You Through” in the videoke.
- Special shout to the epic The Super Cabbage (Tumblr Oldies, do you still remember her?). Happy birthday Jam! Tumblr (and some of your loyal fans including me) misses you. Please blog again soon.
How’s your Sunday everyone?
The advantages of being colorblind.
Hopes and Dreams for the Azkals and the Philippines
Once again, the Azkals have proven that they have what it takes to be a football sensation. In a jam-packed Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City yesterday evening, the Azkals defeated the Mongolian team in a 2-0 victory.
The match last night, though considered in the football world as not that important nor sensational, was an important game for our Philippine football team. It was the first match that was held here in the Philippines since the football euphoria brought by the Azkals late last year swept the whola nation.
Though we may not consider ourselves as football crazy fans like the other countries, the match last night was the first step on our journey on loving the world’s famous sport.
- The support for the Azkals was overwhelming. The jam-packed Panaad Stadium in Bacolod City and the rest of the whole nation who were glued at the match which was aired at Studio 23 was more than enough moral support for our players.
- If the last FIFA World Cupat South Africa was infested by the vuvuzelas, Filipino fans resorted to shouting and cheering as crazy as a vuvuzela– with lots of abanikos. (Though there are unconfirmed reports that there were also vuvuzelas at the stadium last night).
- I pity our goal keeper Neil Etheridge. He just stood there at the goal most of the time during the entire game. We should have given him a PSP or a good magazine to read. (Haha! Peace Mongolia!)
- I forgive the commentators who still have an “element of basketball” while covering the event (They said lots of “nice shot!” during the entire game. Come on!). We may still be a rookie on analyzing the technicalities of this sport but I believe that our time will come. Learning is a process.
The victory las night ws also a sort of “vindication” for our national team after theirl lost against Indonesia on the last AFF Suzuki Cup (But we were still victorious there for beating the Vietnamese team. It is considered by many as one of the biggest upsets in South East Asian football history).
The Azkals was indeed victorious last night.
- They once again earned the respect of the Filipinos and our neighboring countries (You better watch out for us!)
- They are slowly putting us on the world football map. Though we are ranked on the 151st spot on the whole world, I believe that we will slowly get our way to the top.
- They once again made football the talk of the town and raised the football awareness in the Land of Juan.
- Their victory in our own country will, hopefully, be the start of football love for our country. From the kids in the barrios to the athletes on different schools, colleges, and universities.
- Somehow, even just for a while, we became united as one country, forgetting the numerous controversies – the carnapping incedents, the plea-bargaining agreement, the alleged corruption at the Armed Forces, the tragic death of Angelo Reyes, and the fight bewtween Hayden Kho and Sharon Cuneta.
Earlier this evening, the Azkals had a courtesy call to the President at the Malacañan Palace. The team gave an Azkals jacket to our President. It’s good to see the President giving his suport to our athletes and heroes.
I have been preaching about football during the past few months and I would like to reiterate my point while the football euphoria is still high.
- Ningas cogon. This is one of the bad traits of the Filipinos. I hope that this support will not be like a burning cogon grass. Let’s have a continous support and interest for the sport.
- I hope that you are supporting the team not just because some of the players are guwapo.
- I hope to see more native Filipinos (like last night’s local hero Chieffy Caligdong) on our national team. I hope that this sport will be loved by the kids in the barrios and not just the half-Filipinos who grew up playing the sport abroad.
- I wish for more stadiums with world-class standards ready for an international competition.
- Football teams and football development programs starting in elementary for the future. Who knows? Some of these kids might be the next superstar.
- Government support. ‘Nuff said!
- We need support and love for football from the people just as how we supported boxing and the PBA (I am talking about the Crispa-Toyota era of Pba and not today’s league).
- Let’s focus on football. We will excel more on this sport.
Way to go Azkals! It might still be a distant dream to see us in the FIFA World Cup but who knows? This is our first few steps on our long journey up there.
Congratulations Azkals! Viva Filipinas! Padayon!
