Patrick's Diary - 6/29/2016

Weather Report telling a fully sunshine Wednesday,
Why did I see a completely cloudy midweek?
Quick lunch leading a timely escaping of reality,
Where would I take care of this totally different task?
In the harmonious neighborhood hiding the park,
On the field several co-workers playing the football.
Burgers served as main course and hotdogs being snack,
Sun popping up to remind far away from raining fall,
Throwing practice becoming my first time at all,
Rolling big ball to small ball to simulate golfing.
Warm breeze pinning through fresh green you smell, 
Joyful girls hanging with happy boys we cheering.
Youngsters going to classes the day still not ended,
All back to work a dozen hours later without rested.

Patrick's Diary - 6/28/2016

Markets rebounding on Tuesday morning,
Fingers crossed to wonder if a turnaround,
Preference being forever on stock over bond,
Desire being held on indexes never drowning.
On way home appreciating sun rays shining,
In the shortcut route avoiding jammed crowd,
Dozens cars slowly moving on Filbert Road,
She in front staring me through rearview smiling.
Was she flattering me because of my coolness?
Or was she trying to tell me life not being so fast?
She anyway barely moving Prius to keep me stuck. 
The Beauty turning before 7-11 onto a narrowness, 
Emotion almost driving me to chase her like a Beast,
Dreaming to ride with her on the bike in dark.

Patrick's Diary - 6/27/2016

Monday assumingly to turn the week to a new page,
Markets driven by UK Referendum again to drop a bunch.
Traders remaining to look for fat meat to fetch,
Several falling angels targeted to my plate.
Sitting in the office to calculate the percentage,
Not being able to watch Round of 16 match,
Taking a break searching on ESPN website to catch,
Learning England defeated without any advantage.
Texting my son to remind him following Expedia,
Predicting to make 2% at the opening bell tomorrow,
It would be proved a wise recommendation.
Promising my son to drive him catching mania,
Watching Warcraft at 11:00 PM in an empty row,
It ended up with such a wonderful fascination. 

Patrick's Diary - 6/26/2016

Griezmann's goals leading France to Saint-Denis,
Gomez's inspirations sending Germany to next round.
Hazard's runs ensuring Belgium to face Wales,
Messi's attempt pushing Argentina to hit the ground. 
Arguably The Greatest of All Time to be forever argument,
After the super Barca star missing the penalty goal.
Agreeably The Best of This Century to be never agreement,
Before the fellow Arsenal peer raising the golden ball.
Coming to the battlefield to experience a heartbroken tragedy,
Retiring from National Team being understandable.
Returning the kingdom to glorify your majesty,
Healing the severe wounds being recoverable.
Life always going on even without soccer,
Fans would still like to see you two years later.

Patrick's Diary - 6/25/2016

Copa Centenario kicking into the final weekend,
EuroCup 16 still hanging on the middle stage.
Poland in Round of 16 to face off Switzerland,
Swiss not being able to hold Pole's challenge. 
Having to buy grocery at Ranch 99 in a drive,
Wondering if Welsh to overcome Norther Irish.
Coming back to figure out Bale to advance,
Crossing fingers to witness CR7 to accomplish.
Acquiring many youngsters Sounders to re-establish,
Losing another home match to risk a failed season.
Expecting Men's National Team in full gear to astonish,
Following Colombians to 4th place driven by a reason.
Soccer in US soil to be a long term project,
Independence Day to take us over the midnight. 


Patrick's Diary - 6/24/2016

Pound Sterling depreciated 11% against US Green,
Nikkei 225 dropped 7.9% to two years' weakest.
Forex loss approaching the magnitude of Trillion,
S&P dropped close to 3 digits in the market. 
Global businesses at NASDAQ suffered severely,
Expedia with large Europe exposure down to 100 bucks.
International operations in London impacted significantly,
Morgan Stanley dismissing the rumor of moving to Paris.
Traders taking the opportunities of making money,
UK exiting EU not being the end of the globalization.
Virtual operations possibly expanded on this story,
Chinese Enterprises probably benefiting from the separation. 
The date printed for my mom's next test being insanely incorrect,
Was the lady who scheduled it an Anglo Saxon descendant?

Patrick's Diary - 6/23/2016

What had been politicians' forecast of Brexit?
What was the outcome of UK Referendum?
What had been the rest of the world's optimism?
What was a result of the devastating defeat?
Had the public favored establishment?
Was the sentiment turned to reform?
Had markets been positive on every platform?
Were all indexes dragged down by disappointment?
Leaving EU definitely a shock to the world,
Prime Minister's resignation being inevitable,
Global CEOs' strategies being reexamined.
Scotland to be independent with Northern Ireland,
EU stars to be restricted at EPL being unavoidable,
Still irrelevant to the storms on my road.
