What do I want in 2013? To be happy. Yes, this sounds lame, but after the last few months, that’s not too much to ask for right? Some other things I want- for my football clubs to do well 🙂 to finally transfer to a 4 year, go to Portland for the weekend, see the USMNT qualify for the 2014 World Cup, do all the things on my 2013 “Bucket List” lol

Looking Back on 2012
Based on some of my posts from the last few months (specifically the ones from November and december), it might seem like 2012 was a horrible year for me, but that’s not true at all! Well, it ended horribly, but the first 9 months of 2012 were pretty good!
One great thing that happened to me was that after almost 4 years, I finally got my braces taken off! Well, it was more like 3 years and 10 months to be exact. I got my braces taken in January, a few weeks before my 21st birthday. I was so happy! It took me a while to get used to it.
Some other good things that happened- I finally graduated and got my AA. Not much, but I’m a step closer to get my bachelor’s degree 🙂 I also got my first job ever! I’m still there, surprisingly lol It’s been 5 months and I’ve met some pretty cool people, and one, well, person who wasn’t so nice. But I think I’ve written enough about that person tbh
I was a LA Galaxy STH and went to so many games. I also went to see USMNT in Arizona, as well as LA Galaxy in Portland. Real Madrid and Tottenham Spurs came to LA and played against LA Galaxy at HDC (Home Depot Center).
For the most part, 2012 was a good year for me. I think November and December were really bad months, because of that person and everything that happened, well more like half of November. But I’m not going to say that 2012 was awful just that one month and a half.
I’m hoping 2013 is much better!
The Daily Drool: Stephan El Shaarawy
he’s younger than me, but so cute! and a pretty decent footballer as well 🙂
Forward/winger Stephan plays for AC Milan. He has represented Italy at the U16, U17, U18, U19, U21 and senior levels.
First Match of the Season
On Tuesday, I went to the LA Galaxy v Tijuana Xolos preseason friendly. What a match! LA Galaxy won 6-2. Yes, Tijuana was using their reserves (their senior/first team was playing in a Copa Libertadores) but in the second half, when LA scored 4 goals, they were also using their reserve team.
I went to the game with my sister Angelina, as a birthday present. She turns 7 on Saturday. I also went with my grandpa, who said this was his first real live football match ever! I’m so glad I’ve been able to take so many people to their first live football match (my mom, stepdad, 3 sisters, brother, and now my grandpa. Oh also, my friend from tennis) Next person-my grandma lol Well, we were surrounded by Tijuana fans, of course
When they played both national anthems, me and my sister were the only ones who sang the Star Spangled Banner. When they introduced the players, we weren’t alone in shouting the last names of the players, there was about 4 people who yelled their names behind us. Of course every time LA scored, and we had to say their names, only like 5 of us were shouting their names haha but it was fun.
The one thing that wasn’t super fun was the weather! It doesn’t rain often here in California, but when it does, it pours! First half wasn’t so bad, second half however, omg! It started pouring and it even hailed a little bit. It was windy, so that didn’t help. We were freezing out there! Despite all this, I enjoyed the game. But then again, who wouldn’t enjoy seeing their team win 6-2, even under all the circumstances? haha Too bad this might be my last LA Galaxy game for a long time! Maybe even until Portland game in July.
Bundesliga is Back!
Yes! Finally! I can watch German football again! It feels like I haven’t watched Schalke (my German club), Hannover (Cherundolo’s club), or Hoffenheim (Joselu and Johnson’s club) in forever! I think a winter break is what Schalke needed. They started off the season really well, they were in second place behind Bayern Munich, by like 2 or 3 points. I don’t know what happened, but by the end of November, beginning of December, they were in seventh place and behind by more than 15 points! So disappointing. I hope they get a win on Friday (sorry Dolo!)
