Patrick's Diary - 8/15/2015

Yeah, it's Saturday. First, I had been in bed until 8:30 am this morning. Secondly, I have more stuff to write.

As usual, I turned on TV to watch BPL match early in the morning. However, I was sleepy, so didn't really open my eyes for most of the time. Getting up to take shower, I drove my family to go shopping groceries. Dropping my parents at Ranch 99, I drove my son to Costco. 

After paying for the groceries at cashier, I helped my parents push the carts out of Ranch 99. While they were waiting, I drove the car from parking lot to pick them up near the entrance of the supermarket. Loading everything into trunk, I got onto driver seat to be ready to go. An Asian man, probably a Chinese, walked to the back of my van, I saw him from right backup mirror to take a photo of my license plate with is cellphone. Then he walked away to say something to another person standing 30 feet behind my van. I don't know his intention. If anyone uses my license plate to do anything, good or bad, I didn't authorize him to do it. 

Stopping by Taste of Sichuan, we had our once in 3 weeks family lunch. In addition to the dishes we ordered, we got Sour & Spicy Soup for free. We ate almost everything up today, it's so delicious. 
Coming back home, I watched movies on HBO, then caught up my diary for yesterday. As planned, I bought the tickets for Sounders' match to be held at 2:00pm tomorrow. I had known that color inks of my printer ran out, so I tried to print Black & white. Unfortunately, black ink ran out as well, so I had to drive to Best Buy to buy them. The girl around Printing Consumables shelf asked me if I needed help when I happened to see what I was looking for. I thanked her anyway, she said that I found it by myself. I responded that her kindness probably triggered me to find what I needed. Replacing the used inks with the new ones, I printed the tickets off from my account at Ticketmaster. We planned to arrive at Centurylink Field at 1:00pm, then eat our lunch at various concession stands there. 
Watching a MLS live match RSL hosting Timbers on TV, I was shocked that Timbers scored almost the last second goal by a RSL former player winning the match. Then, I watched SportCenter on ESPN to wait for BPL Match of the Day to start at 10:00pm. Usually, I don't watch this program because I watch the live matches and listen to real time analysis in the morning. But today, I didn't watch them, so would like to catch up at night.

Man United's hope, Januzaj scored to win the match. Mata played a very important role in midfield and Schweinsteiger may become another important player in future.
Lukaku scored twice for Everton, his first goal was driven by a perfect cross from a teammate and second goal was led by another teammate's short pass into the big box and eventually made by his quick reaction. 
I watched part of the match Tottenham hosting Stoke City this morning but didn't know Stoke tying the match at the end.
Watford didn't score at home, eventually tied Visiting West Brom. It's such a bad day for West Ham's keeper, lost the match and got sent off. He might not deserve a red card.
Swansea won a clear-cut match at home.
Last season, Sunderland struggled in the relegation zone for quite a while, eventually they avoided it. However, they have lost two matches in this season, it seems future isn't very bright. 
Ok, it's 12:50 am in the morning of Sunday now, I plan to watch Bundesliga Wolfsburg playing Frankfurt 6 hours later, then catch the 2nd half of the match Man City to play Chelsea. I may go to gym to workout for an hour, then come back home to take shower and leave home for Centurylink with my son at noon.
