what's even cooler than when we have to pull each other's tshirt to 'stop' your friend from running forward?

fun and joy are always elements present in soccer training. coach, the girls, the sun, the sweat, the adrenaline rush, the pain, the laughter, the occasional embarrasments, the everything :)

and if only time could freeze, then i could be happy forever.

There once was a story,
where happily ever after seems to be the ending.
The prince kisses his bride in a horse-drawn carriage,
with the wedding march resonating.
Oh it's so cliche;
but isn't that what everyone seeks?
Then the curtains are drawn closed,
the clock chimes twelve times.
Wake up dear princess,
the spell's broken.
And then it dawns upon you,
that its all just a daft dream.
Yet, you stubbornly partake the sleeping draught,
for all you want is unconsciousness's lull;
to bask again,
in ineffable happiness.
But dear princess,
you're no sleeping beauty.

i've got yet another blue-black on my thigh. and haha, england vs russia like at 1055pm tonight! england won estonia during the last match: 3-0. but dad's said its a tough fight tonight so it's going to be yet another anxiety attack for me.

true happiness is like an elusive animal, especially when you have lurking shadows trailing behind you.
