Ghana vs Serbia World Cup 2010 Match Recap

I’m going to keep this one nice and short, because frankly I have no leanings towards either team, and the whole match was rather slow and boring with little flare of offense from either side save a select few runs and shots.
This is a match that easily could have ended up in a draw if it wasn’t for the penalty kick that was awarded to Ghana at the 85th minute, which they managed to convert for a 1-0 lead in the match. Lukovic, of Serbia, had been sent off in …

Korea vs Greece World Cup 2010 Match Review

Pre-Game Jitters
I was born and raised in South Korea, and I speak the language as my own, so naturally I am rooting for Korea on this match. Korea has a determined, dynamic & fast squad this year, with two big-time players who are playing in the English Premiere League. This is the second appearance in the World Cup for Greece, with their last appearance being one of shame when they exited after 3 losses and 10 goals conceded, with 0 scored! However this squad has won the Euro Cup in …

France vs Uruguay World Cup 2010 Match Review

Day 1, Match 2 – after a spectacular opening match show by South Africa to stun the more experienced Mexican squad with a 1-1 tie, we now have Uruguay and France going at it. These two are pretty tightly matched teams based on rankings and past history so it should be an exciting meetup of European and South American soccer. Uruguay, in case you didn’t know, were the first hosts of the very first World Cup Finals, and they also won it, in 1930.
First Half:
Ribery had a gorgeous centering but …

South Africa (RSA) vs Mexico World Cup 2010 Match Review

So I decided I would briefly recap some of the matches I catch during the 2010 South African World Cup. It is the most exciting, and the most worldly sporting event there ever has been, and I love it, so why not?
The first match between the hosting nation (Republic of South Africa) and Mexico, the more experienced football squad was an exciting opening to a spectacular World Cup tournament. South Africa has relatively little experience in the World Cup stage, but never underestimate a determined squad playing on their home …

A Weight Loss Journey – Part 1

In May of 2009, after training for several months with my workout partner Jackie, I was at a respectable 171 lbs. I’m close to 5’10″, and my bench press one-rep-max was at 220 lbs, and I could comfortably squat 3 sets of 220lbs as well. Things were looking pretty good! However, with a combination of a bad ankle injury during a soccer game, added with the pressure of increasing work with my buisness (Sonika Studios Inc.), I lost the discipline. Despite my ongoing soccer games (twice a week), due to …

Why Be Against The Vancouver 2010 Olympics?

Let’s forget the fact that a group of whiny protesters cannot stop a global event that supports our elite athletes and sponsors, because the high achieving, hard working ones are the ones who have more power and say on what goes on, rather than the opposite. Acknowledging that all the protests and complaining won’t stop the games from happening anyways, let’s explore why it’s somewhat of a self-contradiction, and an illogical thing, to protest the Olympic games. I will dissect the arguments from the anti-Olympic crowd, and present counter arguments. …

Apple Answers to The FCC Regarding Google Voice

Apparently there was some controversy regarding the Google Voice app that Apple did not authorize to put on the Apps store. There were numerous other applications that try to take advantage of the cellular data network to place voice calls, rather than using the regular voice call network (which is limited in airtime, of course, to the users).
It’s not the case in Canada but in the US, most iPhone users enjoy unlimited data through the AT&T network, which really enables iPhone users to get the most out of their smartphone …
