A slight bump
Shaking
On to turbulent waters

A variety of faces
A lot of new faces
Great big smiles
Fronting their untroubled minds

A rubber raft
Violent water
Uninvited guests
Silence

Seconds away from the world above
Flowing water
A held breath
Daylight

Rougher bumps
A wilder ride
Trying to escape
This white water rapid ride

Pasig River

Beautiful
Serene
Alive
A home

Full of color like a rainbow
Full of life like a child
This was me
Way back in time

Tick tock tick tock
The pollution grows
Tick tock tick tock
Buildings rise

Tick tock tick tock
My beauty is gone
Tick tock tick tock
My life is done

Full of trash as a dump site
Full of sorrow as a weeping widow
This IS me
Now

Ugly
Disturbed
Dead
A graveyard

On Top Again!

Another great comeback by the Whites to reclaim top spot in La Liga! As the match against Real Madrid and Sevilla started, there was much at stake for the whites. With Barcelona only able to get a 2-2 draw against U.D. Almeria, it was the chance for the Whites to go to the top spot with a win…but it wasn’t an easy task with Sevilla visiting the fortress Bernabeu. Sevilla drew first blood in the first 45 minutes of play where Alvaro Negredo netting the only strike of the half. Real Madrid controlled the ball after that opening goal but failed to tally a goal. The first half ended with Sevilla leading 1-0. The Whites had to wake up coming into the second half but heart break came, 5 minutes into the second half Sevilla scored another goal via a Dragutinovic free kick from long range. The Whites were down 2-0. But the White wouldn’t go down without a fight. The first strike from the Whites came 10 minutes after Sevilla registered their 2nd goal via a left footed strike by who else? Cristiano Ronaldo. 4 minutes later, Real Madrid equalized via a Sergio Ramos heading from a beautifully delivered corner of Rafael Van Der Vaart. And the game was on. Real Madrid didn’t stop attacking the Sevilla goal and 2 minutes into injury time, Gonzalo Higuain met a fine cross with his head but Palop palmed it away but it wasn’t enough as Rafael Van Der Vaart poked the rebound into the goal. 3-2 for the Whites! It was a very exciting game and kudos to Sevilla for giving the madridistas a scare!

Next up: Lyon! Hala Madrid!
