I'm Ending This

Audio: A Fine Frenzy - Come On, Come Out

I'm ending this.

Bye bye blogger.

I'm at Wordpress full time now.

This isn't easy okay. I'm retaining this for archives and keeps. (:

Give It All You Got.

Audio: Missy Higgins - The River

It's my semester break, and I actually have a day for myself, which is great. Here's what I did:

1. I woke up close to noon
2. I spent time with Him.
3. I told Mel I missed her
4. I had leftover pasta for lunch
5. I watched Grey's Anatomy.
6. I remembered about my blog.

I might shut my blogger down. It seems to me I've been updating too little for my own good. Besides, I know it's a bad excuse but I don't really have the time.

I won't delete the blog, there's just too much good stuff here. I might not even go through with this idea at all.

But what put me into perspective is this. All day I spent at home relaxing until four-odd in the evening, all night I had a good sleep in my comfortable bed and I was alone in my own space, comfortable.

Little did I know my housemate was in the next room, knocked out all day because he's been hard at work for his ENTIRE Spring Break at the Royal Melbourne Show.

He slept at ten last night, and he's not awake yet. Fast asleep with this look on his face. One that shows content, that he's happy God's taken him through this week and this tough season he's facing.

What was he doing working? Running a snack van part time. Why? Because he's working to pay his fees.

And the most I could think about on this cloudy Monday morning is whether or not I have the time to fit blogging into my life.

Puts you in a little bit of perspective isn't it?

Let's see how this goes from here. However solemn this may sound I actually feel energised to focus on the work I need to be doing from here on end, that I actually am not anywhere near my 100%.

Talk about 100%. My housemate, fast asleep gave his 200%, so why can't I?

I love blogging. Well. I loved it. Until I found that the other things I love doing take up all my time. Sad, but true.

But I'll fit it in, somewhere, somehow. My blog's a treasure I still want to keep.

I Really Suck as a Blogger.

Audio: John Mayer - Gravity (Live)

I suck at this blogging thing. Maybe because it's a slight pain to upload pictures on Blogger and expect slow(er) broadband to load them out in their full glory, or I am just making excuses.

To those who ask. I am well, I am chilling, first semester is over and guess where I'm headed for this winter break?

Sydney. Baby.

Screw seven-day-quarantine-land.

Haha I would love to be home, but I'll be attending Hillsong conference, and of course, sucking on fresh oysters and sashimi pieces at the fish market, camwhoring by Darling Harbour and making out by the Opera House.

Oops. =P

Anyway. Pictures of what has been going on recently!! =)

We United Fans Love Drama.

Audio: Toploader - Dancing In The Moonlight.

People think Manchester United supporters are all glory-hunters, where we all just hang around the fact we win a lot.

But the reason we win a lot is because we ARE the best team in the world. I mean seriously. And more than that, United supporters are in it for the drama, for the fact that we NEVER give up, we NEVER back down, no matter what the circumstance.

There was the classic 2-1 win over Arsenal where Ryan Giggs did the solo, the 2-1 over Juventus where Roy Keane powered a header past Buffon and us into the Champions League final.

Then THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL where it took two fortunate feet, two Beckham corners and one Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to give us the treble.

There was the 7-2 thrashing of West Ham after THEY took the lead.

The 2-1 against Liverpool where Diego Forlan made United history.

The 1-0 against Liverpool where John O'Shea smashed and robbed the Kop for a win in the 92nd minute.

We NEVER give up really. Steve Mclaren, our ex-assistant manager once quoted:
Manchester United never lose, they just run out of time.
-Steve McLaren-
Recently we had the infamous 7-1 drubbing of Roma after they took the lead.

And today... five-two against Spurs after being two-nil down in the first half, AFTER Liverpool won at Hull City.

Ironlically. There was 5-3 against Spurs a few years back where Teddy Sheringham came on and turned the game around against his old club, helping score two as five were put past in White Hart Lane in thirty minutes.

This was almost a repeat.

Ronaldo. Rooney. Ronaldo. Rooney. Berbatov.

And not to mention Tevez who did all the contributing.

Rooney made three goals, scored two. Amazing.



I personally love United because they always come out with the euphoric, a spirit which will NEVER die down, regardless of whether I watched Eric Cantona, Teddy Sheringham, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Diego Forlan (Remember him?), David Beckham, Ryan Giggs OR Wayne Rooney.

He is the man.

United is THE team.
