Zidane qualifie les Bleus pour la finale ! Posted on July 6, 2006July 6, 2006 Yay!!! Like Aqua, I too become a football fan, only during the World Cup, watching a bunch of good looking hot men dribble the ball from one side of the field to another. Not a bad distraction at all, I say 🙂 A few years ago, I remember the Brazil-France final, where a few of us placed bets and France won, much to the dismay of my confident Brazil rooting friend. And he also made me a little richer by honouring the bet! On the night of the Brazil-France match on Saturday, I had to miss out on the heroics of Zidane, since I had my level 3B French exams the next morning. It was last minute preparation and a distracted one at that as I had to flip between French verbs and television to catch the latest on the football front. After watching the rather heart rending England Portugal match, I decided to go back to my books instead. Which was probably, in hindsight, a good thing since I managed to mug a few extra pages and pass my finals (another yippee!). Last night, I had no such problems as France overcame Portugal with that one penalty goal. The rather touching moment though was when Luis Figo and Zidane, exchanged their shirts. I would do anything to get hold of both of them (their shirts, I mean)! 🙂 What else can I say now, but ‘Go, France!’ Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Living

Exercise Getting physical: Things I’ve tried over the years Posted on January 30, 2014January 30, 2014 So here’s a post about the kind of interesting physical activities I’ve tried over the years. I’ve left out what I consider more common activities like running, cycling and walking. And I must also admit, a bit sheepishly, that I haven’t really stuck to anything in the long run. And… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
And the winner is… Posted on September 1, 2005September 1, 2005 Catching the fib wasn’t so easy, after all. But I do have 3 winners. But first for the explanations… 1. Though I am a right hander, I occasionally eat with my left hand. I believe that it makes my food tastier for some reason! : Truth! I do this, sometimes… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
I will NEVER forgive france for defeating Brazil. and yuck…they exchanged their sweat-ridden shirts? ewwww! Reply
aqua: not only that, but they rightaway wear those newly acquired shirts. w (i.e., double eewww)!! btw, in case this is your first world cup, this is normal behavior, just like spitting on the turf every now and then (which i do not, btw, have a big issue with). – s.b. Reply
@aqua: hey, france played well and deserved to win, brazil played a lackluster game and deserved to lose! what’s not to forgive?! Admit and accept it woman 🙂 @ deepsan: you lucky man in toulouse, you!! je suis très très jalouse monsieur! Reply
Anita/Deepsan – quit showing off yr french here hahahaha 🙂 and who is Some Body? does he/she have a name?blogger profile? Reply
Zidane is my favourite too. A thorough professional and a gentleman, people like him make soccer a beautiful game. Check out Italy. They have half a dozen good looking/hot men in their lineup. Reply
Well the final is over … does it change your view? Being in Paris I am experiencing the whole episode of melodrama as it goes. May be one day there will be a opera on the same in Bastille as it now got every thing (I would like to see it in contemporary setting) LOL Reply
