Tonight will be the last night that I'll...

"I weary of these noisy nights,
Of shallow jest and coarse "good cheer,"
Of jazzy sounds and brilliant lights.
Come, Love, let us away from here.

Let us lay down this heavy load;
And, side by side, far from the town,
Drive on some lovely country road;
And, wondering, watch the sun go down.

What time is left to us, come, Love.
The woods, the fields shall make us whole;
The nightly pageantry above
Our little world, keeps sweet our soul.

No peace this city's madness yields -
A tawdry world in cheap veneer.
Out there the lovely woods and fields.
Come, Love, let is away from here."

- Max Ehrmann

Tonight will really be the last night.

A bad hair day for a week! Simply...amazing.

Watched Japan V Paraguay on Tuesday. Japan was doing fine and all hopes came crashing down when Komono hit the cross bar instead of the goal mouth during the penalty kick. My heart was utterly upset, especially during the scene where all the players knelt down and witnessed as Paraguay hit the final ball to Japan's dismay. Japan fought well and displayed true spirit..ganbatte ne for the next world cup.


Had a hard time going to sleep...and the very next morning, I was ticked off badly by Boss for my mediocre marketing plan. Then on Thursday, my colleague and I were yelled at again through MSN for still not giving him optimum results.

Either he has placed too much trust in me or I'm over confident, but I was suppose to spearhead a new marketing project. I was expecting few meetings to clarify issues, but all we did was to discuss details through MSN. How frustrating can it be. I ended up with migraines that lasted for the rest of the week and like what my colleague say, "Don't be traumatized by this whole issue. This is just how the way he is. "

This is indeed an eye-opener. But amidst this whole issue, it makes me learn to manage my emotions and working ability better.

Double whammy blow on Friday. Brazil lost to Netherlands (Holland) 1-2. Robinho secured the first goal, but the fiery temper of Felipe Menlo and poor defense after half-time allowed the Oranje to score twice. World Cup isn't suppose to go this way. Totally lost my mood to watch.

With Brazil and Argentina (a 4-0 lost!!) out, the playing field is left with Germany, Spain, Uruguay, and Netherlands, which I won't be watching until the finals. Don't want to spoil my mood further and no more late nights.
