I had known Sweden would play Italy on Friday morning and I could watch the entire match because it would be broadcasted around 6:00 AM and probably end at 8:00 AM. Even after watching it, I still could arrive at work around 9:00 AM, which would be still normal. However, I only watched first 15 minutes, then left home. As I shared, I really can't get rid Euro 92 of my memory. Hadn't I become a US Citizen, I would most likely be living in Sweden today. In this week, we probably had driven from Goteborg to Paris to support Swedish National Team. Later on, I would learn that Sweden lost the match to Italy and they would have only slim chance to advance even as one of the best four 3rd placed teams. Ibra is a great player but he isn't able to bring an average team up to the next level.
Wrapping up the stuff, I came to the parking lot close to 4:15 PM. Why can't I find my car? Where did I park it? I asked myself. One of my buddies in the office happened to start his car to leave, he shouted to me from distance to ask me what was going on. After learning my story, he asked me to get into his SUV to drive me around the parking lots to look for it. I kept telling him that I did drive to another office in the morning and then stopped by Uwajimaya to buy lunch after coming back. He actually triggered me to realize that I probably left the car in the parking lot over there. When he drove me out of our parking lots to approach Uwajimaya, I saw my car parked over there remotely. It's a stupid misconception in my mind because my routine was broken this morning but my mind didn't follow.
Arriving at home at almost 6:00 PM, I caught the second half of the 2nd quarter final of Copa Centenario. Peru got Colombia into the trouble and they had to go through brutal shootout. Two Peruvians missed the shots and Colombia advanced to Semifinal. James Rodriguez was full of tears. This match was so important for him given his dicey situation at Real Madrid.
The stock markets dropped again today but Zillow kept going higher, Gopro also got upgraded by JP Morgan and Twitter was still in the scenario of being acquired soon. My SeaPower Index dropped below 100. Several stocks seem in the trend prior to Q2 earning release in next month. I will keep watching Alaska and Expedia.
