Because I Share Granddad's Love For the Sport
YES! A few posts ago, I complained about not being able to go to Candlestick Park to watch Real Madrid play against Club America (and making oogly eyes at Cristiano Ronaldo), but lo' and behold! Tonight, I googled the game and there was a live stream! I was able to watch the game and see Ronaldo score on free kick! Whoo-hoo! Sure the commentaries were in Spanish, but it was really entertaining hearing Spanish soccer commentaries as the guys are always sound so enthusiastic and passionate about the sport (or maybe that's because Spanish sounds that way all the time--Spanish soaps anyone?). The game was pretty awesome and that includes my SQUEEE! moment when the cameras zoomed in on my sexy Real Madrid #7. Now, on the seventh, there'll be a game between Real Madrid and LA Galaxy! Can't wait for that one! I have no idea who I'm gonna root for, but still...yay! There'll be several other games as well (Philadelphia Union vs Columbus Crew; NY Red Bulls vs Chicago Fire; USA vs Brazil; etc.) and I hope to catch those! Going back to school soon so I hope to enjoy the best of my newly found love.

Because I Wrote it at Night
The Boy in 32A is a short story I wrote while in my senior year of high school. At least I think. Lemme check. Ooh, I am wrong. I wrote it in my first year of college. November 29, 2008. Although this has me worried because that is the time when I had major research papers and essay due, not to mention final exams in two weeks or so...so why did I write that. Well, I don't even remember what had inspired me to write that, but I think it was some Vietnamese song I was listening to--that's usually the case.
My problem with writing fiction is that one, I'm not too good at keeping my plots consistent, and two, I never seem to finish. This is probably the first piece of fiction I finished (note I said fiction since I had a short fanfiction that I finished, but it was so long ago, I can't even remember what it's called or where I put it) and I put off editing it until now. I mentioned to a friend that I wrote something that I deemed to be sweet and I would let her read it once I finished filling in the gaps and make some tweaks. So, I made the tweaks. And I feel satisfied. Well, as satisfied as one can be, since I do believe there's always room for more editing (something I learned from my friend, L, who is a wonderful and meticulous writer).
The Boy in 32A is a fictitious short romance that reflects my ideas, my opinions, and whatever issues I have with KFC and Wal-Mart. Yes, some stuff in there might be off or totally wrong, so don't hassle me on it. I mean, dude, have you read Twilight? If the frigging vampires don't die in the sun, then my frigging character can put a weapon back together in 8 seconds. Don't argue.
Since upon finding my usb, I have been giddy in trying to finish all those Harry Potter fan fics I have left stranded in limbo. I have a few weeks left before school resumes, so I must make use of that time.
I will dedicate The Boy in 32A to my good friend, D, and wish her the best with her boy from the front ;]

Corner Tip #7: Not everyone you try to talk to on the airplane is as nice as the Boy in 32A. I don't even know if a person like the Boy in 32A even exists in real life! Oh...and IT'S SHARK WEEK!
