Euphoria of Spain & CHANGE

My life is running with high tension of endorfin right now. 2 things which make me waiting each day to come and today was the happiest day for me. 2 reasons for my happiness are:

Spain - EURO 2008 Champion

WOW!, unbelievable EURO 2008 to be exact with lots of drama. Spain finally winning their major silverware after 44 years. Truth is, i never expect Spain to win and i always crossed my fingers while watching Spain played. The title of "Underachiever" haunted my dream of seeing Spain get through in EURO 2008.

But with the best team Spain have, they manage to squeeze their way to the final and eventually outwit the mighty Germany. Germany who play so excellent to outplay Portugal in quarter final wasn't in their best form in final. Torres is the man as he score the only goal but with the possession that Germany has, they should have more shot on goal. Germany in total has 4 shot and only one shot at the goal with 52% ball possession for the whole 90 minutes. Spain on the other hand has 13 shot with 7 shot on goal, 48% ball possession. Germany control the game but from the gameplay point of view, they lose their cool as soon as Torres score. The calm and cool side of Germany crumble upon time ticking away. If they calm down and regroup, the final would be much entertaining. It's one-sided final in my opinion. What euphoric about the final is 44 years of waiting for Spaniard ended by a player they called "El Nino". Torres scores the most important goal in the competition for Spain!


CHANGE - Takuya Kimura latest drama

For weeks, i download CHANGE and waiting the whole drama to be ready before i watch it. After some "bakar-membakar" by my fellow housemate, i watch it anyway and it turns out GOOD! Now, i'm impatiently waiting for new episode to be subbed and today, Massuki Fansub finished subbing episode 7. Wahhhhhhh...can't wait to download new episode! It's about politics but it's Takuya drama which hardly disappointed me and makes politics interesting. It will be aired until 10 episode.

Synopsis from Drama Wiki - CHANGE

The story begins with the deaths of ruling party's Fukuoka legislator and his eldest son, his heir apparent, in an accident. It is decided that a by-election will be held, and Kanbayashi Masaichi, the leader of the ruling party, and secretary Miyama Rika conceive the idea of fielding the second son, Asakura Keita, who had been renounced by his father.

After Keita graduated from senior high school, he went on to a university in Nagano because he wanted to live in a place with beautiful stars, and eventually became an elementary school teacher over there. Well-liked by children and satisfied with his beloved star gazing, Keita has no interest in the world of politics. However, at Rika's persuasion and the pressure of his family, he reluctantly decides to announce his candidacy.

Upon returning to Fukuoka, Keita is given a hearty welcome by supporters. The election strategist, Nirasawa Katsutoshi, arrives there. He is guided by the notion "election is the only permitted legal war" and begins Keita's election campaign.

Now, can't wait for these kind of days to come again. :)

How I Spent Time on My Birthday?

14 June again. A few wishes from siblings and friends. So, how i spent time on my birthday this year?

Rerun GTO for 20+ times.

I miss Tomoko's cuteness and Onizuka's exaggerated facial expression.

Playing Yugi Oh PC Game.

Got Blue Eyes White Dragon card. The ultimate cards for now!

Watching EURO 2008's Spain Vs Sweden.

Owh, the mighty Spain winning against defensive Sweden. Torres and Villa scored, Villa bagged 4 goals till now making him the top scorer for EURO 2008 (the number of goals Milan Baros score which earned him the Golden Boot in EURO 2004). Hope more goals from Villa as i pray Spain will progress to Semi Final and Final eventually.

Life wasted! Hahahaha.
