Shakira is loved here in Takaungu. I own only 2 songs of
Shakira’s and I think I’m singing these songs in my sleep due to how often the
people in my family ask to hear these songs! One of the songs is the theme song
of the 2010 World Cup (Waka Waka). It’s a goodie!
Well, the World Cup is underway! Go Team USA and Team
Netherlands! Due to the time difference, the games do not begin here until 7pm.
So, I usually only make it through 1.5 of the games every night haha. Gone are
the days of me being able to stay up superrrr late lol!
My mom found this sticker book at Target about the World Cup
and gave it to me. Then, you’d buy packs of stickers that contained each
country’s team and individual pictures! Pretty awesome! Well, I hauled this
book to Takaungu and everyone in my family LOVES it! They loved putting the
stickers into the book and looking at each of the team’s players. Some mornings,
the little kids would wake me up by knocking on my door and asking for
“stickers” haha! I kept saying that we could leave it on the counter at night
so they could get it themselves in the morning, but their mom said that they
needed to return it to me after every time they look at it haha! And I mean
EVERY TIME! One of the kids will ask for it and return it 10 minutes later…and
then 2 minutes after that someone else will ask for it! They crack me up! Even
the uncle has enjoyed looking at the sticker book haha!
Why oh why does the USA insist on calling this sport
‘soccer’? I mean, we already don’t use the metric system and now this TOO?! Way
to make me look foolish all the time. I keep forgetting to call the World Cup
football instead of soccer. Maybe I’ll finally remember this difference by the
end of the World Cup. Once I master that, then I’ll move on to mastering the
subject of the metric system. Wish me luck!
Pictures:
1. My crazy family having a dance party during halftime of the World Cup games. This is typical haha!
2. Making food in the rom where the TV is now located. When this picture was taken, they did not have a TV yet, but now it is located in that corner. I don't have a picture (yet) of all of us corded around the TV watching the games, but here are some of us together making food and chatting. Now we make food and watch the games haha!
GO TEAM USA!!!
