Congratulations, Deutschland!!

Congratulations, Deutschland!!

So it happened. The Germans won the WORLD CUP 2014. It's not like I don't want them to win because let's all admit it, they really outplayed the Argentines. In quite many ways, I was actually impressed by their performance but not as impressed as their many other games. I mean, that game against Brazil was so much fun to watch. I also particularly remember them being as aggresive last World Cup so yeah.

I woke up at like 4:30-ish JST and my friend turned the TV on and I was like, the fvck is this? And then I remembered the finals. Can I just stop and analyze why I forgot the finals? So I was like, quite lucky still that I was able to watch it. This is probably the first time I have to thank that TIME DIFFERENCE exists. Yes! 

That off-side goal by Higuain. Can we just stop right there. Higuain is actually my favorite player from Argentina because I don't know. Oh well. 

Mario Goetze did his job. Thinking he's a midfielder, he actually stepped it up, didn't he? When he was put in the field, I was like, even though he looks so pretty, this guy might actually make it. And then the Japanese commentators kept mentioning he's like only 22 and stuff and I was like, the heck I'm doing with my life while this guy is already scoring for the World Cup. 

I also would like to acknowledge Neuer for making it impossible for the Argentines to goal. I mean, it's not like they have shot impossible to block shots.  But you know. He's quite awesome. No pressure kind of look actually.  

Well the World Cup kind of wrapped up at that. Can I just say that Cristo Redentor kind of looked so gorgeous with that German flag reflected to it. Just literally.


It's so fab! I wonder if my favorite trademark changed its color or if they will ever change color in honor of the celebration. And yes, we're talking about the Eiffel Tower. Glückwunsch Deutschland!

My (World) Cup of Tea

My (World) Cup of Tea
I don't know but I have been missing a lot of World Cup action because of work and whatsoever. But that doesn't mean I don't have a team that I support. With that being said...


I don't know what it is with them that really attracts me but you know!! World Cup 2010 was like this, JAPAN, ARGENTINA, and then SPAIN. Because we all know we can't support team all at the same time. So yeah. This World Cup 2014 is kind of a different story though. It's like Japan and Argentina. But I must say I am really impressed by the BRAZIL-GERMANY match awhile ago. Brazil NT is definitely not my kind of team well I like Kaka but that's about it. Oh and excuse me for a sec but can we just all pause and appreciate the gorgeousness of this man's eyes?


When I saw this on TV, I was like, is that Zayn Malik? And I was like, na-ah. Neymar Jr. it is. His eyes though! He's not gonna be playing this World Cup anymore because of injury but anyways. So that's about my update, I think? Hopefully Argentina would be able to make it to the Finals and then it woud be Germany vs. Argentina. It would be very interesting! Don't you think?

Beating the Heat!

Beating the Heat!
First things first! Three months in Japan now! Okay next. LOL. It's almost summer here and I can't help but be thankful I don't work in the afternoon or else! I'm just so glad I don't have to deal with the nasty weather. Well except the rain! I don't like it.


Recently, I went out alone to eat. Not like in a restaurant or something (will definitely try that!) but like in a mini stand bar or yeah. Also, I wore that shirt from the Philippines with pride! Apparently, that's the only loose shirt I have. That's another reason I wore it. Can't wear skimpy clothes on a nasty weather like that.



Anyways. I had Takoyaki and Mango Juice. The MJ was kind of expensive. I should have just gotten myself a Starbucks. Grande pa! Inis. Anyways, it was still kinda worth it because I went out on a very sunny afternoon so I was quite happy. The Takoyaki isn't that good. But I like it anyway.




I used to really really really like these. I guess sometimes things really does change. LOL. I still dig the grilled one but I haven't really got in to liking the one with soy sauce. I don't know why people like it. It's like a weird combination of sweet and salty. Me no likey. I didn't buy because I prefer them grilling it on the spot. Am I asking too much for 90 yen? Yes.



You know selecting what ice cream to buy is kind of fun in Japan. There's just too many choices!!! Even weird ones! Will probably try and feature some! And I'm already grossed out. Moving right along!


I bought this because I saw Hidemi eating this enjoyably. Nope! Not really good!! Am I asking too much for its price? Yes. But then again it did its job of icing me up. Whut?



This made me happy though! As you can see, it was a really hot day.



A shot of Sagamihara Station. As you can see, it was. Which sucks because first, I forgot my umbrella inside my locker so I have to share with a friend and second, I forgot my umbrella inside my locker so I didn't have anything to use later that day when I went to work. Great! Also, I forgot my e-ticket inside my locker so I had to pay for my fare! Not wise. Ugh! So stupid you know. It's actually because I have to hurry or else the bus might not have available seats. I feel like a ninja, really! That's all! See yah!
