NY Giants Beat the Odds

-
.....to win the Superbowl XLII title...making the more favored New England Patriots as one of their own player so aptly put it: Second Class. I didn't watch the game itself but I had this odd feeling that the NY Giants would win. Yes, the Patriots had the perfect season but one of their toughest game was against this very same team. They should have taken that in consideration...well, they probably did, it's just not their time to win a 4th Superbowl and be the first team to go 19-0 in Superbowl history. They fell a game short of that.

Days leading to this game, a lot of sportscasters, former football players were actually predicting this will happen. One of them even used what happened to the Patriots when they won their first Superbowl to predict this kind of upset. Patriots played agains the heavily favored St Louis Rams so they were the NY Giants team at that time. Isn't that ironic?

I guess Eli Manning can now be put up there along with his more famous brother...Peyton Manning who won the Superbowl last year with his team Indianapolis Colts. He was watching his little brother play from a box and was probably more pumped up than Eli himself. He said that he got a lot of text messages telling him to settle down and relax a little bit. Well, that's what big brothers do, right? They worry and cheer for little brothers.

Guess who's basking on the Giants' win aside from the Giants' themselves?? The Miami Dolphins!!! Because they get to keep the record of the only team to finish a season in 1972 with no lost at all - Superbowl included. So now the Dolphins can relax for a bit because they ARE still the record holder in that aspect. But hey, there's always next year.
Btw, I am kinda' glad that the Giants won,too. Why? Because they beat the team I was rooting for this season during the playoff games....the Green Bay Packers. That means that the team that beat them is really a better team this season because they now have the Superbowl XLII Title. Ha!

L-O-S-T. I guess that about sums up how I'm feeling right now...with blogging anyway. I don't even know how to start this post. 😕 It's been almost 2 years since I last posted. It's not that I have nothing to write about. I have plenty but I seem to have lost interest in blogging. I thought  at first that it was just a phase. I thought it would only last for a few days but days turned into weeks then months then years and I still haven't blogged. Nothing sparked my interest to blog so I just didn't. Not even paid posts lured me back. I even considered deleting it altogether. I felt like I'm wasting my money paying for the domain name. But I can't do it so I just keep on paying. I can't seem to let go of the domain 'Pinay Wahm' because I got it when not many Moms were able to make a living or earn in the comforts of home. I also have a lot of personal posts here that when I want to get details about something that happened in my life I can

Simple Life....

When we visited my family in 2012 we didn't actually spend as much time as I would have liked with most of them. That's because we planned a road trip which took most of our time. Since we were on the road majority of the stay, we weren't able to spend as much time in my childhood home. During our recent trip, that's exactly what we did. We spent a lot of time in my childhood home. We actually stayed home too much that we got bored after a while. But it was somehow an 'eye opener' for me as well as my significant other. On his part, he was finally able to experience 'real summer' back there. Both trips happened in April. But since we were in an air-conditioned car most of the time during our 2012 trip, we didn't really feel how hot it was. This time around, the air-con was only in our room. As soon as we stepped outside, it's hot. As a result, the AC in our room stayed on the whole day because it served as a reprieve from the heat. Every time

Finally finished the project I started a couple of months ago...at least. Now I'm a happy [and a bit sore] camper. I finished putting the mulch this morning mainly because I don't want to give the weeds another chance to invade the flower beds again...at least for a few months anyway. I think I had to pull out weeds twice before to prepare them for the mulch. I thought hubby would have the chance to put it down but his work just wouldn't let him so I decided to do it myself a few weeks ago. So why did it take me weeks to finish 2 and a half flower beds? I was just taking my time I guess. There was no hurry so I took my time. Now that I'm done with that 'project' I'm off to continue another one that I started about 2 weeks ago...decluttering my home office. The weather here is as unpredictable as...the weather? Last week it was raining almost everyday as predicted by the meteorologists around here. The time the rain would fall was the unpredictable part tho
