WooohooO~ Guess who am I going to be rooting for?! :P

This really brings back memories of 4 years ago. The time when I watched the event with friends, soccer fans and non-fans alike. Almost everyone was rooting for their national teams (either Korean or Japanese), and I was the only odd one out with 2 other friends. Also, I remember the occasional times that I watched the matches with my housemates. I rooted for my two fave teams all the way, while die-hard soccer fans rooted for more established teams like Brazil or Argentina, two seemingly all-time faves among many.

The fun part was the gatherings that we had. Those crazy crazy moments.

I really miss those carefree days, when assignments and deadlines were the only worries.

I've been feeling really melancholy today. I feel so out of touch with the people I care about. Things have been somewhat crappy lately and it really doesn't help that I don't seem to have time of my own.
