update summary

I went home for Chinese New Years and went to a temple with my mom. =)
The people were very nice and the food was delicious. Best vegetarian food in the world. I actually went to two different temples on Sunday. One was new and had very few people attending and helping out. The other one was very popular and had 821038203 million people helping. I really wish people would consider helping out at the temple that needs the help instead of the popular one where they can meet lots of friends and get a lot of attention. I feel sorry for the monk at that cold, unpopular temple. I think I want to help.

Fernando Torres moved from Liverpool to rival team Chelsea and I am mad. =(
Why didn't you go back to Spain, Nando? Anywhere else would be fine. Why would you leave us to join the rival club? On the bright side, Chelsea paid a lot of money for him. Torres is like the most expensive player in England now.


Nando lost his first game against Liverpool. =)
Well deserved.

Steelers lost to Packers. =)

I have a 10 page lab report to write tonight. =(

I have not been on Skype. =(
I have no excuses. I'm sorry.

I regained all the weight I loss over the Summer. =(
Salads. Eat salads.

For Deb, if Fernando Torres still matters to you

There is no Xabi in this interview, but your Nando answers most of the questions. =)

2. Movies or TV series?
Torres: I’ve stolen all the series I have from Xabi Alonso, who has an assortment. I’ve had time to watch so many that I’ve finished with Lost and Prison Break, and I’ve started Californication, Boston Legal, and The O.C. My favorite ones are those two that I finished, but I didn’t like their endings

9. And your worst characteristic that you would like to change?
Torres: I have to learn to listen and I’m very absentminded. I forget a lot of things, and I’m horrible at remembering faces and names. When I meet people, I don’t even remember later on that I met them. And then I don’t greet them later on simply because I forgot, not for anything else. [Interviewer: and your shyness?] That’s not a bad characteristic, it’s good in some ways, but in other ways I see it more as a good part of my personality.

10. A vice that you confess to.
Torres: I love all types of candy.

I thought this was cute:

19. A symbol of Spain.
Villa: Iker Casillas. =)

Iker, why are you naked?

Celebrating their World Cup win in the locker room. Iker Casillas is naked. :)

Here is Casillas showing off his body again. Oh, we love you.

Fernando Torres pulls out his camera to snap some shots for his facebook.

I really hope they wipe that trophy down. I saw every person on the Italian team kiss it before and now every member of the Spanish team. I am pretty sure the Brazilians have smothered it with their salivas.

This is so cute I just had to post it. Casillas' girlfriend had previously been criticized for distracting him by being a reporter on the field. They are so happy now. :) I am so jealous of her but this really makes me smile.

SPAIN: FIFA WORLD CHAMPION 2010

I love Spain! The game was horribly painful to watch. Fourteen yellow cards were handed out. The Dutch fouled more than played. Spain could not score. Villa didn't do well and was replaced by Torres who did nothing much. Randomly, I think, Iniesta scored. :) I am glad Spain won. I got to see Casillas cry tears of joy and it was the most adorable thing in the world.

Spain is really an underachieving team this season. They seem to do what they can to get by and nothing more. They score against bad and good teams alike. Maybe they just have a good defense and a not very good attacking strategy. Oh Villa, you better get back in your game before I drop you.

I hope Xabi Alonso is okay. De Jong fly-kicked him in the game so hard it looked like he had broken several ribs. I can't believe Zidane got a red card for head-butting but De Jong only got a yellow card for fly-kicking.

Did I mention that I am sick? As soon as I got on the plane back to Philly, I knew something was up. :( My throat hurts so much despite that fact that I have tried to drink a lot of water. Possibly 8 bottles today.

Spain National Team: Hot Men

Spain has some of the hottest players ever. Today I realize that I love Iker Casillas and David Villa. I love the Spanish team:
1- Iker Casillas
3 - Gerard Pique
7 - David Villa
9 - Fernando Torres
14 - Xabi Alonso
19 - Fernando Llorente

My attempt to rank my love:
1. *Xabi Alonso & Steven Gerrard
2. Zinedine Zidane
3. Iker Casillas
4. David Villa
5. Cristiano Ronaldo
6. Ricardo Kaka
7. Fernando Torres
8. Fernando Llorente
9. Gerard Pique

*Xabi and Stevie are first. I can't rank them individually. They have to be together and they have to be number 1. That is the only way I can do it.

I also like David Beckham because he is so hot, but he has become more of a Hollywood star than a soccer player for me so I won't put him here. If I were to rank him, we would probably fall right before or after Kaka.
