.....meanwhile

It has been ten days since my last post. While everyone's been 'interneting' and what not, i've not, clearly. No that does not mean i've been living under a rock or anything. I have been on my tumblr, since my blogging on tumblr mainly involves incessant alt+right clicks, it doesn't need much thinking and it's extremely entertaining. My mind has been a muddle of thoughts and i could not focus on one thing for a good ten days. Hence, the lack of posts. I did, in this time finish reading The Shining and An Abundance of Katherines. I will post my opinions and views about it soon. Due to my lost thoughts i could not bring myself to write about it.
Classes have been a bore, i'm ashamed to say. I have not started vlogging or i would have told you. But i did get a hair cut. Bangs and all! I look like the watermelon cat. My friend and I were conversing and all of a sudden she clapped her hands and said "I KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE! The watermelon cat. I'm gonna make a picture and show you." And did she! Have a look. Do i look like though?

Also, FIFA is under way. The team i loyally support has not qualified, the team being Spain. They played like noobs and i was disappointed, enough said. FIFA also gave an idea to make a list of the ten footballers i find attractive. As intriguing as that sounds i have not found time to do it. YET! 

JacksGap, the youtube channel have a collaboration project which i was keen on participating. So, i very bravely did. I shall inform you if it does get to be a part of their video. (fingers crossed) 

I also have a few other projects in mind. These involve videos, photography, stories. I will surely record the progress here to keep track. 

Will post substantial posts soon!

 See you soon! 

FIFA!

The 2014 FIFA World Cup is kicking-off in less than 5 hours and I couldn't be more excited. I vaguely remember the 2010 FIFA World Cup. I watched as many matches as i could between college, projects and my (beauty) sleep. I specifically remember a few incidents. One, where i was at the mall and a local news channel interviewed me, where i had to state my opinion about who I thought would win. And i predicted very accurately that Spain would. I was, of course a hardcore Spain supporter from starting to end. This was aired on tv and that was quite a proud moment for my dad, as he himself is an avid sports fanatic. I also remember purchasing a football scorebook/ info magazine at the bookstore well in advance, to know who-was, what-was and how. Another weekly magazine i subscribed to also included with it a tiny little scorekeeping book and my dad and i filled these up diligently.

And finally i remember the night of the finals. My dad and i were up in the middle of the night (because of the time difference)  and i could hardly wait to see some goals-a-shooting. Quite honestly it was a boring finals match. Unfortunately, the collective moments of excitement did not help my sleepy eyes from shutting and before i knew it, i was fast asleep. The next thing i remember was a loud, excited scream of the commentator and a flurry of movement on the screen and that, my friends is how i missed the only goal scored in the World Cup Final of 2010. I've had a series of bad luck with legendary goals and this was one. I remember, jumping up, reaching for my phone, to record this victory and then i just burst into tears. I am unsure upto this day, as to why i did cry. Maybe it was happy tears, celebratory, or maybe it was tears because i'd missed the goal, which i had to rewatch in the highlights. Or, maybe it was both? The following day i wore red to commemorate España's victory. 

Now, four years later, after the transition through an all-girls college, with the lack of football-followers, I have lost touch and i stand here again, afresh, as a beginner, peering into the world of the beautiful game with curious eyes and and a racing heart. I am not up to date with the player statistics and such, but i will be! Soon! :D
I have always been a keen Spain supporter. They will always hold their spot in my heart. But i am secretly hoping for an English win because it is Gerard's last World Cup.
The game kicks-off in a while and i am pretty certain i will be late to classes tomorrow and will probably be a "bad student" for a month, but sorry teachers, it's football season! This little book will be my friend for this month. It will serve as a time-capsule when i want to relive this again. And probably talk about this, after four years! A lot more FIFA to come!

Ole Ole!
