I wrote this not just because of the traffic jams

15 Dec

WARNING: It’s going to be tl;dr. SAVE YOURSELVES NOW.

At first I really really really don’t want to write about the issue no matter how intense my ~feelings are about it. You know, it’s classy to only speak good things about the departed and so on & so forth. Actually, I did tweet about this issue in 7 or so concise posts and I thought that was it; that I had finally let everything out. As it turned out, THE UNIVERSE threw me a curveball tonight that made my bloggin’ juices a-flowing and when the universe called; you just can’t dodge it away.

So today; stuff was pretty light at the office (calm before the storm) so I was able to get out on 7-ish (instead of 8.30). I normally don’t want to drive home at that hour because the traffic is still pretty crazy and I like driving on an empty road (usually starts on 8.30-ish).

TONIGHT THO, IN ADDITION TO THE USUAL CRAY, THIS HAPPENS.
Basically the road that they blocked is narrow (2-lines only), very heavily commuted, LOTS of U-turns and on top of that it is also a Transjakarta route. It stretches from East to the Northernmost tip of Jakarta and is the main access for big vehicles & truck to reach the harbor. Got the idea of how important this street is?

SO MUCH FEELINGS AFTER THE CUT! SAVE YOURSELVES NOW! LAST CHANCE!

The Gospel of Hala Madrid

9 Dec

Our Iker, who art in Madrid.
Hallowed be thy gloves.
Thy skills come, thy saves be done.
On the pitch as it is in practice.
Give us this Clasico, our daily hope,
and forgive us our offsides,
as we forgive those that dive against us….
And lead us not into red cards,
But deliver us from Cules.
For thine is the Saint,
the Banana and the captain,
For ever and ever.
Amen

This week I’ve been bending over backwards trying to be a good girl, sew as much good karma as possible, keeping the snark at the minimum even though I’m surrounded by fuckery, etc etc etc BECAUSE CHRISTMAS NEEDS TO COME EARLY IN THE BERNABEU TO SPREAD JOY TO THE WOOOOOORRLD!!!!

And by “the world” I meant me. And the whole Madridistas in the world. Because we’re good people.
Why do I write like this, I’m too nervous to function; damn.

Basically HALA MADRIIIIIIIDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

UPDATE: …………………………………………………. I HAVE NO WORDS; THE TEARS IN MY EYES. THEY’RE A’FLOWING.
