Bend it like Beckham
Yes I was right there at the bleachers of the Rizal Memorial Stadium with Hazel and Glenda tonight Dec. 3 Saturday, ogling David Beckham who was practicing 50 meters right in front of us. The blond soccer god, acknowledged the screams of fans & waved twice and smiled. And then he bent to pick up the ball and I swear to the soccer gods that I saw for a mere split second the crack of his beautiful white .... never mind ( the nuns will cry if I spell it out). David Beckham, shirt no. 23 has the most gentle aura...really! He made the first goal effortlessly for his team at 8 P.M. and the 3rd goal for his team at 8:50 P.M. Gotta admit I only had eyes for him ( hi there Victoria). Lucky Azkal no.27 who Beckham almost bumped into during the melee. Phil Younghusband No. 10 managed the only goal for Azkal and the crowd went wild for the home team, except for me. I was shouting venga Angel , Azkal no. 6. Hazel & Glenda screamed themselves silly over the goals & the UP prep team who gave a remarkably good performance during the intermission. Earlier, we waited for the Azkal and Galaxy teams to arrive at the gate facing Hypermart on Harrison plaza together with an assortment of police, mais vendors, a fencing referee who's car got stuck in the parking area, drivers, assorted fans, a few street children. scalpers and hangers on. The Azkal bus arrived at 6 P.M. & we cheered and waved but the players didn't acknowledge us at all. The Galaxy bus arrived at 6:30 P.M. & some players managed a few waves back to the screaming . waving and clapping fans. Too sleepy to continue writing but the Smart Dream Cup 2011 was amazing. Pacquiao was somewhere in the expensive covered section where those who paid 15-10 k were seated. I texted Lala, Kat, Miguel, Lai, cousin Gigi who was on duty because there was an event in the restaurant where she is the sommelier, and Almond who was somewhere in the section behind the goal.So Galaxy won 6-1 but we left before the 4th goal by the L.A. based team. I'm still floating on my adrenalin high.
