SURREALITY
 |
| Photo by Thera Reyes What I have experienced in HongKong can be describe in a word. SURREALITY. SURREAL because I still can't believe it that I saw these guys in person. REALITY because a dream came true. OH TO BE A GOONER! |

Lucky Charm
 |
| Photo taken by Stuart McFarlane. |
Who would have thought that the last thing I added inside my backpack could be my trip’s lucky charm?
1. When we went to the fans party, Kyle Bartley asked us to raised the Philippine NT bar scarf and took a photo of it.
2. As we entered the stadium, we saw and called out Stuart McFarlane, the club’s official photographer. We had a brief chat, and he asked us to pose in front of his camera. Lo and behold, the photo above.
3. We waited for the club coach outside the stadium. But we made sure to stay away from where the crowd was. The coach stopped as the ushers try to widen the barricade, I flashed the flag part of the scarf while the others roll out our banner. We waved our hands and screamed, “Arsene! Arsene!”. The great man saw us, he smiled and he waved back. That was the best moment ever! Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also waved at us too.

We're by Far the Handsomest Team the World Has Ever Seen
Three of the most of most prolific strikers in the world are now playing for Arsenal.
The whole of Goonerdom were celebrating the arrival of their latest addition to our beloved Arsenal, Olivier Giroud. The announcement was made official at around 5 o'clock in the afternoon in my time zone, and Beliebers might have the shock of their lives upon seeing the name "Olivier Giroud" topping the trending topics worldwide.
Just like Lukas Podolski's signing, the Giroud signing was a mere speculation for months. But it happened to be Arsene Wenger's worst kept secrets. As of this writing, Arsene Wenger has 3 of most prolific strikers in world at his disposable and all three happened to be left footers. The lack of quality back up striker really hurt Arsenal's chances of attaining at least a trophy in what was a tumultuous season under Wenger. And doing business this early, made me think that Le Professeur's did learn something from last summer's transfer shenanigans.
Speculations that either Giroud or Podolski could be club captain Robin van Persie's replacement in case the latter's contract negotiations breaks down are just mere speculations. Robin is on a holiday somewhere, and he'll be reporting to the club by July 3 for the preseason training. By then we will know what will be his plans.
I wonder what would be Arsenal's next move? Adding some steel in the midfield by acquiring either Lucas Biglia or Yann M'Vila? Will they purchase a decent goalkeeper to back-up or even challenge Wojciech Szczesny? Which young Guns will be featured in the first team in cup matches? Which young Guns will go on loan? Do we have buyers or willing loaners to some fringe players? Will Joel Campbell finally have his working permit? So many questions by most Gooners that need to be answered. Roll on, July!
PS1: The acquisition of Olivier Giroud officially made Arsenal as the most handsome club in the world. Thus, I took a pun on a favorite Gooner song, "And it's Arsenal".

#MakeTheRules, #MakeItCount

I have been spending 10 hours of kissing other people’s arses for 6 days. I’m spending my free time kicking my own arse to sweat it out the frustrations in life. ♥

RoadID
 |
| It's here! It's finally here. |
My fellow MTB riding pals decided to get RoadIDs for our safety. These bands are quite a staple among American multisport athletes. These bands contain some information of the athlete in case (knock on wood) an accident happens.
 |
| A history and message from the father-and-son team who made RoadID. I ordered 2 RoadIDs: 1 for me, the other for my Father. Since these stuff arrived a bit late for Father's Day, so here's my belated father's day gift to you, Pa. |

| He said, 'Dunk you!'. No problem, Mr. Basketball Man. |
