World Cup Frenzy

I watched the world cup opening game between Germany and Costa Rica. It was a great game and I realized how much I miss watching soccer matches. Soccer is not that big in the states so I haven't been following the latest soccer news. It's weird how a lot of american kids play soccer but the sport itself is not popular professionally. I wonder why... So.. yeah... back to how I miss watching soccer hhehe... This morning I woke up at 7 am and watch the second half of england vs paraguay. When I caught a glimpse of david beckham, I was soooo excited. He is still oh so cute but when he talks he's not that cute. He has that cempreng voice, as indos would say. I hope England will continue to the second round. Although they're not that super, I still support them with all my heart just because beckham is there hehehe...

Today is UW commencement day for class of 2006. I can't believe it's been a year since I graduated. It feels just like yesterday we're all sitting in the stadium under the pouring rain. It was very annoying at that time but come to think of it, the raining commencement day was Seattle's way of reminding us graduates to never ever forget this beautiful city. Yeah sure Seattle rains a lot but the rain doesnt make this city ugly, it only makes it more memorable. Congrats class of 2006.
