Happy 1000th Game, Sir Alex

have to study... i swear. i refuse to screw my comp law up. but i must digress for now to turn my attention to one of the best managers of football i've ever known. Sir Alex Fergurson. sure, argue all you want abt his temperament and attitude. but seeing how he developed the team, you cannot deny what this man has done for the team that was one just full of drunks.

woke today at 6.50 in time for the 2nd half of the MUFC v Lyon match. meaning, i missed Gary Nev's goal at the 19th min. does it matter? considering the fact that i think the nev bros are one of the few worthy members of MU to keep on watching the team, yesh, it was kinda upsetting. and they never showed the goal even at the end of the match. nevertheless, i got to watch the gorgeous header by Ruud. he never ceases to amaze me. it was a calculated header after a pass from Rooney that gave the winning goal to MU. beautiful. this is goes into the "beautiful goals" in my head, along with his hook with his left foot. i can never remember who he scores the goal against but knowing that he's scoring goals to give MU that edge is more than i can ask for. could have converted one final one.. but the angle wasn't right. would have been the most beautiful goal of the champions league if he had gotten it. Wazzup with that? imagine Ronaldo giving Ruud a pass and Ruud delivers it with great accuracy, outside the penalty area even, over the heads of everyone and the goalkeeper into the net. it never happened. oh well, all's not lost. we still won.

oh well. another plus pt of the match, watching Ronaldo floor the other team and send the MU crowd into a frenzy when he ran, defended but untouched, from the midline to near the end of Lyon's side of the field. i could only stare in amazement at his speed and ease as he manuvuered past the 3 defenders trying to mark him. i grinned after that. the beauty of football displayed by a mere youth. too bad he didn't score with that one. if not, it would have been Giggs all over again. like i said, i cannot remember their opponents for nuts. but their goals and moves linger on. Giggs swerves and manuvuers the football with such grace, speed and ease, outwits 3 defenders, all in the penalty box. and with his back to the goal, he turns around and slams the ball into the back of the net with precision that only Ruud could compete with. and the surge of thrill that rushed through my spine when Scholes blasted the ball with such power from a distance directly in front of the net. it was blocked but i swear it caused a panic in the opposition.

there is no doubt why i love this team which made football dead fun for me to watch. even LC was taken back by my essay on the beautiful game of football speckled with memories of the scenes i witnessed through the MU matches. am i mad? yes, i am. to all those who thought i watched MU for mr squeaky voice beckham, eat dirt. i watch MU for MU. (i wld rather u said cantona or giggs)

anywayz, wanna go club this friday. i don't normally club. but feel like i need gd music, drinks and just a chance to party and dance the night away liternally with peeps like serene and cheryl. Not at SOS though. cheap drinks, nice music but the drinks were diluted. oh well, there's dbl O with the $3 drinks all night this friday. but cover charge is $15. even chinablack is $15 on fridays. argh. no money. Anyone up for Ladies' Night tonight? forget i asked. i'm nuts.

*company law in sight, company in mind.*

Distracted at this point of time in the night... and I really should be studying... but oh gosh... just staring at the mp3 players now.

The MuVo® TX FM. Sweet deal: 32 g without battery, plays and records FM radio, up to 256 MB of flash memory, music customization (my mpio does that already though), 1 AAA battery, high reso backlit reversible LCD with ID3 tags for folder navigation, built in USB 2.0 for fast transfer, built-in microphone for voice recordings... how's a girl to resist that?

Then there's the gorgeous MuVo2 X-Trainer with the UBS 2.0, small, sleek, arm and belt strap, with at least 512 MB of space, flash memory to ensure no skipping, convert CDs to MP3s or WMAs

And if you think it doesn't get any better, let me introduce to you a beauty by the dearest people at MPIO. (bet you thought I was going to say Apple)

What's so fantastic abt a Korean brand loads of people don't know about? Loads, I tell you ignorant people out there. The sweetest deal: USB 2.0, 43 hrs on a single AA battery, Philips 3D sound effect (aw man!), double area color on OLED and Human Eye sensor, FM tuner, voice/FM/line-in recorder, classic audio tuner(ah the nostalgia...), supported digital optical in, decodes mp3/wma/asf, from 128 MB to 1 GB memory space, armband for joggers (yay!) and finally, 55 languages.

Ok, I don't need the 55 languages bit. But before you think that it’s a damn bulky and heavy thing from the design, get this right.

31 x 82 x 28.5/mm; 40.5 g

Now I'm really drooling... who needs the iPod micro or Creative Zen Micro now with this baby? 512 MB is sweet enough for me, man.

Are You Converted?

Maybe it's intuition
but some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes, I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
but I believe...

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see the missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
but I believe...

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
- Savage Garden "i knew i loved you"

This song kinda means smth more to me... no, I haven't met that special someone. But... the lyrics just hold a deeper meaning for me than I feel it does for others. It just holds a little more meaning for me given my eccentric-ness.

just hear marc anthony's "when i dream at night". a sensuous song really.. the spanish guitar in the background with soft percussion wrapped gently by his smooth coaxing voice.. i can think of no other way to describe the beauty of this song. "cos i only feel alive when i dream at night. every move that she makes holds my eyes." and you can picture a couple doing the spanish bolero. bolero is a little like salsa.. but it's slower and more... sensual, in a way.. argh.. i need to get back on the dance floor.. but no money.. haiz.

anyone wanna head down to union square on the 26 of nov for the Latin fiesta? i think i've forgotten most of the salsa moves... oh well.. the guys are to be leading right? hee hee..

kinda hazy now.. been trying to study.. trying not to be distracted.. but it all came crashing down when the impact of mom's words hit me just now as i tried to read audit.

and just this morning, i was reading the papers, thinking of when to go to bossini to get my pants.. whether to get my pants or not in the first place.. then she came over.. said that granduncle passed away on saturday and she only knew it abt this morning.. and guess what, the situation only hit me just now.. pls.. pray for my family.. pray for his son, my uncle.. pray for his wife, my grandaunt-in-law... pray for all those affected by this..
