Happy Saint Patrick!

Today is a special day for irish people all over the world. I'm not from Irelan, but Saint Patrick day it's a fun, green and happy celebration. :)

So join the party and have a beer in an irish bar. Slainte!

A special word to my japanese friends: ganbatte! I know times are difficult in Japan, but keep a positive spirit. I'm with you! :)

And also all the best for the 3 portuguese soccer teams playing tonight in UEFA Europa League! ;-)
Of course, I'll be cheering more for FC Porto ;-)

Congratulations FC Porto!

We are the tri-champions! :P Last night the FC Porto soccer team won the portuguese championship. The third consecutive championship! Hooray! :)
Plus, FC Porto is the first champion in Europe for this season! Hooray hooray! :)

Even if I wasn't there, at the world's most beautiful city of Porto (or Oporto if you prefer), I was able to watch the decisive match on TV. And with good soccer matches I always have good snacks to follow up with! :P
A crowded stadium, painted in blue and white, where everyone was expecting a good game, which was going to decide the winner of the portuguese championship.

The final result of 6-0 was the "cherry on the top" of a great night. I only missed the party after the match around the stadium and all over Porto city.

There are still 5 matches until the end of the season, and we're still on the Portuguese Cup... but unfortunately we were knocked out from the Champions League. Better luck next year!

Congratulations FC Porto... and we'll see each other again soon!

Coming up next: Euro Cup 2008! Go Portugal! ;)

Sport is bad for health

I disagree with those who say sport is recommended for our health. But I think I've just lost aeound 5 years of my life while watching the football match beetween FC Porto and FC Schalke 04, for the UEFA Champions League.

Of course I was supporting my hometown team, FC Porto... and it was very very long and "painful" match, which was decided on penalties shoot-out!

I shouted, I jumped, I cursed, I yelled... but my long-distance support was not enough to help! But I think my neighbours didn't enjoy "the noise"! eheheh

FC Porto played well, but tonight wasn't our lucky night... but it was insane the opportunities we've missed (yes, I say we because I always think of myself as the 12th player! eheh)

Now it's to sleep... I hope I won't have more nightmares!

Força Porto!
