"Waka Waka!"

July 12, 2010
World Cup Finals, 2:30 am(Philippine Time), South Africa
Netherlands vs. Spain

It was 5:00 in the morning when I heard my dad shouting. Shouting?! It was 5:00 AM in the frickin' morning! As I slowly became more aware of things I suddenly remembered just as my dad was shouting "GO SPAIN!". It was 2 hrs. and 30 min. right after the soccer game. I quickly rushed to my parents house and turned to the television. Only 30 sec. left on the clock and Spain was winning. The Team players of Sapin were already crying tears of joy and rolling on the ground. The Royals of Sapin were also rejoicing on the bleachers. I realized that this was their first time ever in winning 1st place in the World Cup.

I wanted to get angry at my dad for not waking me up to watch the game; but seeing that you can't do anything about it anymore and that I didn't really tell him directly to, I let it go. Instead,I watched the rest of the game and was amazed at the results. Netherlands with 0 and 1 for Spain (0-1)! I mean they played for 2 hrs. and 30 min. Wow. That will always amaze me :)

As the program progressed the song "Waka Waka" blared through the speakers. I immediately stood up and danced to the beat, knowing that my dad was also singing to the song. I believe my dad enjoyed the game, so did I even though I just watched for 30 sec. left. Hehe :D

It just made me happy to witness a really big World event. Well, it only happens every 4 years. Next time it would be the World Cup 2014. I'll be counting the days. :))))
