New emojis, World Cup and Basketball time

Hello! It's Sunday, people! And you know, we write about sports and whatever else comes to our minds. So, let's begin.

Sometimes it's just too hard to express ourselves with words, that's why emojis exist, thanks God. Earlier this week, it was announced that 250 new emojis will be released next month. TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MORE FREAKING EMOJIS. Hahaha, sorry for that. It’s just that we are very excited for the new emojis ‘cause we love using them. Let's be honest, who doesn’t?! We're true emojiliebers, we seriously overuse them in our conversations and tweets. There are some rumors flying around these super good news and people is hoping there will be tacos, frowning faces, middle fingers and more among the Unicode 7.0 update. There's already a list of the new emojis names in Emojipedia (yes, there is a website that's goes after this name) and the new images will be released there as they become available. It is said that the new emojis will be more diverse and there will be plenty emojis referring to the everyday life. GO EMOJIS!


Being totally honest, it’s inevitably hard not to talk about soccer when FIFA World Cup is plastered in every single thing and place you see. So, keeping up with it, it seems like the European teams are not having it this year, poor them. One of our personal faves, England, is out after losing against Uruguay. They still had hope after losing, because if Italy won against Costa Rica, they would have an opportunity of passing to the round of 16. But, that wasn’t the case and Costa Rica won. So, now they are officially out of the World Cup. Really sad. Another team that really let us down is the current world champion: Spain. We won’t really talk about it, but...what the hell were Piqué and Villa doing in the bench!?!?!?!?! No words. It was definitely something no one expected, but well, it has happened in the past, after France was the world’s champion and didn’t make it after first round. Our bets are on Germany, still rooting for them!!! Even if their match against Ghana was a tie. Well, the only thing we can do is wait. And as we write this, the match between USA and Portugal is happening. First, Portugal was winning   1-0, but they're 2-1 right now, with USA winning. This match jeopardizes Portugal's position in the World Cup. Good luck, Portugal! Also, Mexico and Brazil had a tied match, and everyone expected Mexico to lose against the 5-times-champion. But, Mexico’s archer, Memo Ochoa, did an amazing job.


Exactly a week ago, San Antonio Spurs won the NBA finals against Miami Heat. Yes, another let down ‘cause we were rooting for Heat, but life goes on. We're starting to think the ones who bring bad luck is us. Anyways, it was such an intense game, the NBA teams never cease to disappoint when it comes to good basketball.

 

So, this is it for this Sports Sunday & Emoji Sunday. Hope you like what you read. Don’t forget to stay in touch with us via social media, there are links in this blog’s homepage. Also, leave your comments down below :) we’d love to read and reply.

Have a nice day!

Being a fan ain't easy · World Cup

We're gonna start with the Tickets Sale Stress Sunday, lol. So, about two weeks ago 5 Seconds of Summer announced that they are coming to Mexico. AHHHHHH. Yep, that was our reaction. A friend and us are going to go and we're extremely excited about it.

We were signed up to their newsletter, and that’s why we were able to buy tickets in the fan pre-sale. And if we had to resume that day in one word, it would be: STRESS.

Lullie (our friend) and us agreed on meeting at Starbucks (yep, once again) and take our laptops in order to try and buy tickets for the concert. We arrived earlier, that meant we still had two hours to kill. We chatted about everything and anything, we couldn’t handle our excitement.

11 o’clock, and we were ready to buy them! Unfortunately, the pre-sale started late, approximately 15 minutes late. Saying that we were anxious is an understatement, to be honest. In our first try, we got amazing seats (B section), but the freaking ticket seller system didn’t let us buy them. WE TRIED. AND TRIED. AND TRIED. Tickets were sold out and we were on the verge of tears. We stayed as calm as we could and didn’t give up. That was the reason why we got two tix on section C (balcony).

Our problem was kind of solved, apart from the fact that we were still missing one ticket. There was going to be another pre-sale on Wednesday, so we kept our hopes up.

After stressing out all day, ‘cause the radio station didn’t help us by playing “She looks so perfect”, we realized we were lucky we had at least two tickets in the balcony.

Wednesday arrived, and to make a long story short, we bought three tickets. We were SO lucky and got three tickets in the 8th row. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

So, we were at Oddie’s place with five tickets and really happy. We had two sell the previous two in order to buy ours. So, we started offering them to other fans that were missing tickets.

A girl started hating on us just because we got our three seats together and were selling the other two!!!!! She said we were being rude and stuff like that. Like, excuse us for not keeping them to ourselves!!!!

We’ve noticed fans hating other fans just ‘cause they’ve got good tickets (or even tix far away from the stage) and stuff, claiming that they’re not true fans. Not to throw shade on anyone, but it doesn’t matter if you became a fan 2 years ago or yesterday, the most important thing is that you support Mikey, Ash, Luke and Cal because they are doing what they love-music- and that’s the best thing, they’ve said it themselves, so...



And now, in matter of Sports Sunday, there's nothing else going on than the World Cup. Yes, the World Cup.

At first, we weren't really excited for it. Like, we thought it was just one month of boring soccer. Or football in some countries. It all started with the very beginning of it: we didn't like that much the inaugural ceremony, to be honest. We found it a bit off and boring. Maybe it was because it was not that good, or maybe because nothing's gonna be the same after London 2012. We mean, that inaugural ceremony was AWESOME! Besides, Joseph Blatter and Dilma Rousseff didn't show off. And we understand it, people were going to be mean with them. But if you got an awful situation like that in your country, YOU DON'T DECIDE TO HAVE THE FREAKING WORLD CUP THERE!

Anyways... Later we got carried away with it, maybe waaay too carried away. We enjoyed the following matches to the inauguration; and now, well, you can say we're enjoying the World Cup a little bit more. For example, today's matches were pretty interesting. Hopefully, it will get a bit better every day.
  

Well, that's all for today, peeps. See y'all tomorrow with a Heck Yeah, It's Monday post. Remember to follow us in our social stuff and talk to us. We've got Twitter, Facebook and blah blah blah. You know that jazz :) The links to all our social media are in the homepage of the blog.
