Some good-looking people featured on Inquirer

It's a shame the Philippine Daily Inquirer didn't post decently-sized images online for their article. I must say it was fun to read however.

"Tell us something about yourself that no one else knows. I once cried in a movie because it was sad. It was 'Marley and Me,' directed by David Frakel, starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston. "

I'm guessing I'm not the only one who noticed Mark's bare midsection in his photograph:

 

"What’s the most unique thing about you? I have an obsession with looking at my phone and contacting everyone at all times, but in the Philippines, this seems like a common thing, so maybe it’s just me. (Laughs)."

"What’s the craziest thing that’s ever happened to you on the field? One time, we were four goals behind, and then I was able to score five goals—so we won that game!"

"What’s your guilty pleasure? I go to the cinema, watch movies. I also go shopping, hang out, maybe eat.
What do you like eating? That’s hard. Maybe pizza."

"Do you have other hobbies aside from football? I’m into a lot of sports! (It was reported in Sun Star Cebu that he is into basketball, swimming, tennis, and billiards). I have a band, 6 Years to Fame. We play alternative rock."

"What’s the craziest fan moment you’ve had? Nothing too crazy, yet. Everybody’s been really good. Really friendly! So far everybody has kept within the boundaries of how it should be."

"What’s the sweetest thing you’ve ever done for a girl? Well, I’m not really a romantic type so … (Turns to his fellow players) Give me some ideas, I need to be clean here. I bought one girl a Coach bag. Yeah, seriously. One time, we were in Metrowalk, there was a girl singing on the stage, and people were writing down their song requests and giving it to the girl, but Eddie Mallari encouraged me to write my phone number and give it to the girl. She texted me later, but I lost my phone, so nothing really happened."

I guess crazy runs in the family. Simon's starting to sound like Chris now.

Azkals being funny online

It pays to follow them. You're rewarded with a few giggles.

Take Phil, for instance.

The imagery! James strangling Phil and Phil fighting for his life with a pencil. Priceless.



Also, knowing how big of a Federer fan Phil is is quite funny too.

Rob Gier acts senile when in truth he doesn't look a day over 25 T.T

Jason De Jong gets angry on Facebook.
This, I've got to clarify first. A picture was posted on his fanpage saying that Jason has had 18 caps for the Philippines, which he corrects below. The first "Jason Dantes de Jong" that comments here is the real Jason. The second one is the moderator of the fan page. Look what happens:

That's okay, Jason. You're still cute when you're angry. ;) It actually reminded me of this tweet of Neil's.

Of course Chris Greatwich will never be excluded from this list. He won the poll, actually.

Mark Drinkuth and Patrick Herget understand Mark McMahon's gayness.
Basically Mark McMahon commented on a super fly picture taken of William Gueridon and Patrick and Markinho reply with this here below: (By the way Patrick mentions Islam Ahmed, a Fil-Egyptian who tried out for the  squad)

Mark Drinkuth is my hero :D haha


Speaking of Mark, he recently posted a photo album of his time in Manila. A few photos made me laugh. This one, especially:

Maybe because he looked like a dorky cutie next to another cutie posing beside a jeepney, or the fact that they basically went through the standard operating procedure of being a tourist in the Philippines. I don't know. My brain can't handle it. They further fulfill their tourist image by learning the language:

I didn't even know they made "Learn Tagalog" CDs haha. However I think it's sweet they're taking time to learn. I hear Patrick's even hired a teacher to learn Filipino. Maybe when he's not obsessing over his blue boots, he'll have time to learn. Good luck.

Want to know how they sound like: Patrick Herget and Mark McMahon

Yet another installment of "Want to know how they sound like?"
Mark's Scottish accent is adorable.
Patrick is adorable.

Watch the full segment below:

Patrick (Hugger) Herget and Markinho's return

Because he's cute enough to Herget.

Remember Patrick Herget from this article? Well he's arrived and now I'm just waiting for the rest! Especially Oliver Pötschke.

I'm sure it won't be long until he becomes an actual model. With looks like that.




















He's "just proud to be Filipino." An excerpt from GMA's video should be enough to show you how cute he is. Mind the accent. I'm jealous Chino Trinidad gets to high five him.

Also,

Mark Drinkuth finally shows up in training!

It seemed like only yesterday when we were asking him where he was. He was no longer in the squad list for the semi-finals of the Suzuki Cup, although he was in the previous Suzuki Cup games. This sneaky cutie left for Germany before the semi-finals for educational obligations but he's finally back! He's also competing for the SEA Games in the latter part of the year so I'll guess we'll be able to stalk him more he'll stick around more often. ;)

Choose your Fil-German

From that whole Germany experience that gave us more players and removed a beloved coach from us, three people caught my attention. I think they'll catch yours too.

L-R: Patrick Reichelt, Oliver Pötschke, Patrick Herget

I very much believe it's time to update my "Boys We Love" page. There are about four more Fil-Germans I have to add. Perhaps I will update it to include these boys after we see them in action on Febuary. ;)

Patrick Herget
Baby's only 19.
December 30, 1991
Has an official Facebook Page!

Oliver Pötschke
This one's mine.
Febuary 13, 1987
Another good-looking February celebrant ;)

Patrick Reichelt
June 15, 1988
He's a striker. Perfect. We need more of those in our team.
Will probably keep Ian and Phil company in the front ;)







It's getting harder and harder to choose a favorite.
