Spain Euro Champions 2008

Although I am a supporter of England, who, unfortunately didn't qualify to the Euro 2008, I supported Netherlands throughout the tournament until they failed to qualify to the semifinal stage having lost to Russia. After that, I just wanted Turkey to win for their awsome team spirit and sportsmanship. Unfrotunately, they lost to Germany. I have despised Germany from the beginning of the tournament. So naturaly, I wanted Spain to win the final having seen their class and style in playing football.
So yesterday, I was cheering my head off after Torres scored a brilliant goal. Just perfect. I just feel sorry for my friends who support Germany and turned off their cell-phones once the goal was scored.

This is for you Qais. And Omar who started supporting Germany once he saw FARES doing it. So this is also for Fares. :D
P.S. My cousin uses a Germany soccer jersey to wipe the dirt off of his 2006 Honda Civic. I gave him a tip yesterday: don't ever wipe your car with a german shirt because the car might get even dirtier.

The Blue Whale: The Biggest Living Creature. EVER.

This is probably the coolest nature video I have ever seen. It makes you look and wonder in amazement at this awsome creature. It's just so cool. The music in the video is just right as well.

I just have on thing to say: WOW!

Hamley's in Jordan


Many people have noticed the toy shop Hamley's opening in Mecca Street near Applebeas ( i don't know if that's how you spell it but i think you get me) and to be precise in the same building as IDdesign. Hamley's is undoubtedly one of the coolest toy shops in the world. Just like Toys R Us. The original Hamley's is in London and it's a 7- storey building and on each storey, there are toys of different categories like girls, toddlers, boys, teenagers, electronics etc. They even have a Lego section.

Many people have been wondering if the Hamley's in Jordan would be the same as the Hamley's in London. Here's my response: although the Hamley's in Jordan isn't 7 storyes high and not as popular as the one in London, it's still a franchise and according to what i took in business class, a franchise should be similar to the original business. So there you go, of course Hamley's wouldn't be the same, but it would still be great!

Euro 2008

For the past week, at 7:00 PM and 9:45 PM, i have been sitting on my comfortable couch looking at the TV screen with Al Jazeera sports channel on. This is because for the past week, at 7:00 PM and 9:45 PM, on Al Jazeera Sports channel , Europes top national teams play against each other for the title of Euro 2008. This is a highly addictive competition as it takes place every 4 years, so I feel that i have to watch it because i'll regret it once it's over.

Even my friend whose not really into soccer is following the action of Euro. That describes how important and gripping this competition is.
We have now reached the quarter-final stage of the competition and I HOPE NETHERLANDS WINS!!!

School's Out

Whenever I think about " it " i can't beleive that it's actually true and finnally here.
Whenever I'm bored, I think about " it " and then i cheer up.
For about a month now I've been looking forward to " it ".
"It" is the best time of the year for anyone around the world.
"It" is the summer holiday.

We're finnally done those tough exams which teachers use to torture students.
We're finnally done with the bad feeling that tomorrow there's a quiz that I didn't study for. Or a homework that I forgot. Or double physics in the morning (precisely on Monday morning). Or having to miss a soccer game late at night because there is school the next day. Or, most importantly of all, STUDYING.

Me and my friends have so much to do in the summer vacation. Some of which would be watching movies, swimming, body building, some of my friends are learning how to play the guitar. But what we really wanna do is have fun by any means possible. For example playing with the Wii night and day. Oh well, i hope this summer turns out to be an unforgetable one.

SUMMER TIME IS FINNALLY HERE.
