Goal! 3 Sucked

The Goal! movie franchise is about an illegal Mexican immigrant Santiago Munez, a rag to riches story whose success is attributed to his skills on the soccer field, and compassion for love. For me, I love the first two movies, Goal! 1 back in 2005, Goal! 2 in 2007, and the third one was recently

What bugs me

Don’t laugh at me, but with me … Waking up sweating after my slumber, the weather is terrible these days. One would assume I just wet my bed, but nope, its my sweat. Even my giant fan ain’t helping. Some things never changed. My room has its trademark jock’s smell ever since my alpha male

Work Gig

Last week I gotten a short work stint with this company. My job scope for such gig would usually be to come in, do my magic, wham bam, and thank you goodbye. So to say, every time I get this type of job, it’s kinda a ‘nomadic’ kind of work I’ll be doing. Moving on

Goodbye Ronaldo

Warning: Football Alert So Manchester United’s Ronaldo is moving to Real Madrid for a record breaking 80 million pounds. Well I wasn’t surprised, as I’ve blogged before about the Portuguese loyalty.

The Obama Muslim Speech

I think Obama handled himself well in the highly anticipated speech in Cairo regarding improving ties between US and the Muslim world.
