Keane’s double sparks Liverpool’s 3-0 romp of West Brom

November 13, 2008

Pundits on the ESPN Star coverage panel believed it was Robbie Keane’s best game so far as a Liverpool player. I agree as well. No question that Keane provided the threat for Liverpool against a much overwhelmed West Bromwich Albion defense. Liverpool went on to an impressive 3-0 victory at Anfield.

Before the game, Keane did score a couple of goals for the Reds but all in European competition. With Fernando Torres continues to be not yet in game fit, it was certainly time for Keane to deliver the needed boost as the results of the last two games were definitely unimpressive by manager Rafa Benitez’s standards. And deliver he did last Saturday which moved them again at the top of the Barclays Premier League table with 29 points before Chelsea tied them up the next day with their own thrashing of Blackburn Rovers.

It was also a timely lift of confidence for a Liverpool side that seems to have lost a step after their conquest of Chelsea a fortnight ago. It was evident in the early goings of the first half wherein West Brom managed to create a few chances before Liverpool took control of the midfield which brought an impression that it would only take a matter of time before they scored their first goal. Keane has eager to oblige in the 34th as well as the second goal which resulted from another Liverpool’s pesky defense at midfield. Arbeloa provided the finishing touch with a third goal in the second half. Liverpool will meet Bolton Wanderers in the weekend.

I Love to Daydream

November 13, 2008

O Great Lights and Divine Spirits,

Today I understand why ever since I was a child, I love to daydream. It’s because (day)dreaming is a way for us to remember our higher calling. Yes, I know this statement has a lot of presuppositions and implications. But I simply surrender to it.

And now here I am, at a point which I will remember for the rest of my life. I’m at a crossroads and I have asked for… Click to continue reading

Help Me Win the Wordpress Coolest Blog Competition!

November 13, 2008

I love contests. I join all types of contests, online and offline, ranging from essay writing to lotteries. No contest is too big nor too small for me, as long as it promises a significant reward that could be fame or fortune,or both.

So when I read that WP Webhost is organizing a contest for the Coolest Wordpress Blog, I decided to try my puny luck and hope that destiny will see it fit to reward my audacity. Imagine, I’ve just been blogging for less than a month, and now I’m competing for $2,000 worth of prizes that are enough to make my head spin. Sure, 2,000 bucks is chump change for my idol Bill Gates, but that might be enough for me to jumpstart my fledgling Internet career and make me a future billionaire. That is, if you cooperate with me.

The Great Economic Stimulus of China

November 13, 2008

by Ednathan Thadeu Andrada
nathanandrada.wordpress.com

Tag price, US$ 586 billion. That is the amount the People’s Republic of China is willing to shed off its coffers in order to stimulate their economy, which now stands the fifth biggest in the world, back into position of strength once more. Despite growing 9 percent in GDP last quarter, which is incidentally the slowest in five years, the Chinese government is taking no chances.

The move resulted to a buying frenzy in Asia-Pacific and European stocks yesterday and even the Philippine Stock Exchange joined the fray rising by over 70 points. This translated to upside movements in Wall Street earlier in the session last night Manila time before eventually succumbing to negative territory on overwhelming negative reports on corporate troubles such as the GM downgrade and the Circuit City bankruptcy.

Nevertheless, the move is seen to pump up the Chinese economy by inducing domestic consumption. Although the stimulus package is spread through a number of years, it is seen to bolster infrastructure spending and social welfare projects. This means more jobs for construction especially in the rural part of China. This is also a good measure since it would partially ease the migration of rural folks to the urban centers, which has brought tremendous pressure on resources in the likes of Shanghai and Beijing.

The Philippines is expected to keenly watch how this would turn out for the Chinese economy. The Philippines and China have forged several infrastructure projects in the past and others are even still in the pipeline. Since this would mean China will focus on spending domestically, will their projects in the Philippines be put on hold? Interestingly, a similar policy could be in the offing with the upcoming Democrat administration in Washington. President-elect Barack Obama, during his campaign, focused on a much more internal spending policy as a promise to get the US economy back on track.

Faced Off With A Demon

November 11, 2008

Though I believe on demon possession, whenever I hear stories of one, I dismiss it as hearsay arguing that perhaps the person concern may only have mental disturbance.

I get misty

November 11, 2008

It was such a gloomy day today. I had stayed at home because I was sporting a fever, a soar throat and was coughing it up every 10 minutes. The fact that it rained so hard early this afternoon that caused my cable to conk out did not help to alleviate the dismal atmosphere that comes with being pitifully sick alone at home.

Little did I know that having the cable signal disappear would bring a different kind of warmth to our little home.

Yesterday’s Lunch Among THEM

November 11, 2008

Or maybe not.

Yesterday’s lunch was a bit…well…disturbing. Just imagine feeling 5 sets of eyes staring at you while you move along the way, peering through the plates debating with yourself whether to take that slice or not. Aside from staring, they were more talented this time, they were talking - and between several paragraphs, I imagine, they glance towards our table.

Hmmm… Games that people play. Didn’t they realize that we were younger than any of them and that we may have more experience playing these kinds of “war” games in our youth? {which was of course, not so long ago…} So what we did was, I told X & Y that we were being talked about in the other table and about what I was about to do which was….takbole
