… and so the 2010 World Cup in South Africa comes to an end. When two elegant teams – Spain and the Netherlands – played rough and dirty to get to where they want to be, holding the coveted World Cup trophy.
Germany prevailed over Uruguay for a third place repeat of their 2006 WC finals win. Spain managed to get a shot past the Netherlands and a place in World Cup history, this being their first trip to the finals and their first win.
Waka Waka. This time for Africa.
Shakira rocked in Johannesburg as she closes the 2010 World Cup ceremony with Waka Waka (It’s Time for Africa) – the official 2010 FIFA World Cup Song.
Isn’t it funny how, during the current World Cup, a lot of the press were all over teams with big name stars like Leonel Messi and Ronaldo and Thierry, but hey, who gets the job done? The team that plays as a team, that’s who. And thank god the Germans are as efficient and reliable as they’re supposed to be.
At first you wonder, err, Australia played bad so Germany won … and then the German team made England look awful, annihilating them and ending their chances at the world cup .. and you’re like, oh man, England had a bad day … and then the Germans came face to face with Argentina, and it’s Germany 4 – 0 Argentina … with Argentina playing so awful you’d wonder if they’re a bunch of amateurs.
And then you come to a realization … damn, this Germans sure play so great they simply make their opponents play stupid. Team play, that’s what it’s all about. A lot of these teams with those highly paid, highly egotistical players can learn a thing or two … you know, like, leave your f-ing ego at home and learn that on the field at World Cup, you’re not some million dollar athlete but just another player helping your country to win.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Freschetta. All opinions are 100% mine.
You don’t need to go out to grab piping hot and greasy pizza to satisfy your cravings. Just pop a Freschetta FlatBread pizza in the oven and voila, happy tummy.
Freschetta FlatBread pizza can be found in most US supermarkets in the frozen section. This is no ordinary, shrink-wrapped TV dinner my friends. Care and thought has gone into this product. The result is a thin crispy crust with toppings made of all-natural cheeses with sauce made from real tomatoes. Comes in four flavors – 5-chesse, zesty italian, pepperoni and roasted garlic and spinach.
I’m not a big vegetable person but I actually liked Freschetta’s roasted garlic and spinach, it’s a different taste from the usual tomato sauce and sausage kind of pizza. Must be the garlic sauce.
If you don’t like crispy thin crust there’s always the Brick Oven style that goes something like $6.49 at Stop and Shop. I prefer Flatbread style as it reminds me of New York pizza, you know, down to the fold it and bite thing which you won’t be doing with a deep-dish chicago style pizza. Pizza war! Which way do you sway?
Next time you do your grocery shopping, drop by the frozen section and grab a box of Freschetta FlatBread pizza, don’t just take my word for it, try it and let me know how you like it.
Buongiorno!
Amid speculations of “laglagan” (betrayal) on their respective political campaign partners, Senator Benigno Aquino III, only son of the late President Corazon Aquino has just been proclaimed the next President of the Republic of the Philippines and former Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay as the incoming Vice President.
I didn’t vote for either of them, but I do wish them well. It is unrealistic for anybody to expect that these two men will be able to clean up the Philippine’s vast array of problems but let’s hope they can at least (at face value) put some dent to some of the problems plaguing the country.
Superficial as it may be, if Noynoy and/or Binay can lift the country’s international image, it will actually be a huge step forward. Corruption will never end, Noynoy will come and go and corruption will stay, it’s deeply rooted in the Filipino psyche, not just the people working in government. Call me cynical but the truth is, Noynoy is not Cory, nor is he Ninoy. He’s this quiet, man in the background kind of guy who is trying to carry on the torch his parents left behind. Let’s hope he will leave a good mark in his presidency.
Have you exercised your right to vote (in today’s Philippine general election) yet?
COMELEC has extended voting hours to 7PM today (May 10, 2010). But it doesn’t mean you should wait until the last hour before trekking to your precint. Vote early and make sure your vote counts.
It’s already 1PM and so far only minor glitches are being reported, mostly during the morning hours at the start of election day. Which is good news. Now, if we can only keep this election honest …
