Great BBQ day in Spring

It's spring time here in Belgium, the sun starts to shine more often as well as people here getting out of their house more often then during the winter. Just like me and all of my friends, recently we had a great time in a friend house for a bbq. It was a lovely Sunday afternoon and luck was on our side as the sun shine thru out the day. We had great time together burning chacoal at the back of the house in a lovely garden with a glass of red wine in our hands. Everyone brought different kind of meat to cook on the bbq pit and share among friends. My wife seems to look happier as the season changes and the tempearture gets higher. She's getting used of living here in Belgium even though at first she was not too keen of the winter. She is more relaxed and making more friends then I do which makes me happy. I can't wait to take my wife around Belgium during the summer to explore the beautiful site of Belgium.

Legal to drink.

Congratulation you are 18. Drink up Cheers!!!!

Chelsea's bad week

Chelsea played three games in a week and was not able to win one of them.

It has been quite different in the past.
They did not deserve to loose the game against Arsenal today.

Dominating the game for more than an hour and then Arsenal scored a goal that not should or could have been a goal.

While Van Persie was standing offside almost one meter, he was allowed to score.
The linesman was standing on the perfect spot to see it, but for some reason he kept his flag down.

Final score: Chelsea 1 - Arsenal 2

Getting all the best players to the Premier League is not enough, they should also try to get the best referees, so halfwits like today can not make such mistakes!

But Chelsea is not doing all that well this year, although they are still ahead of Manchester United.

From their games against their biggest rivals they only managed to get one point out of nine. A draw against Man. U and lost against Liverpool and Arsenal.

Even worse, from all their home games in the Premier League they won only 12 out off the 24 points! And that for a tam that didn't lost a home game in almost four years.

Anelka is not that top striker that Chelsea wants and need, that is clearly Drogba's Job. Although the man scored already twelve goals in the Premier League, he doesn't score the big ones. And that is just where they miss a striker like Drogba!

It is clear that scolari still has a lot of work to do before they can consider themselves as challengers for the title.

The Premier League

After 13 games two teams seem to running away from the pack, Liverpool and our great Chelsea.

Already 8 points clear from Manchester United and 9 from Arsenal. OK, Man U. still one game in hand.

Think the title race will be among the first three.

It's fair to say that Arsenal already dropped out of the race and tat even their fourth spot might be i great danger. A young good team they have but they seem to mix to many bad games with good ones.

Liverpool might have their best chance in years to win the title, the have mature payers and a super striker.

Chelsea seems stronger then ever, they can afford to keep Drogba on the bench and rightly so with Anelka in super form.

The Chelsea striker already scored 12 goals in the Premier League this season.

The only problem for Scolari's squad seems to be winning the big games.

Let's hope that will change soon and who knows, we might be Champions again this season!

Chelsea back on Top

It was a typical hangover Sunday afternoon game. Because of the rain it looked more like a waterpolo game than football.
But Chelsea did what they had to do: WIN!!
Blackburn Rovers - Chelsea ended in a 2 - 0 victory for Chelsea with goals from Anelka.

It seems the striker is always at the right place at the right time.
Anelka already scored 10 goals for Chelsea this season.

So Chelsea back o top together with Liverpool and thanks to a win from Arsenal Manchester United are now 8 points behind the two leaders.

Yes, a good day indeed for a Chelsea fan!

Obama first African American elected President of the USA

There was this feeling in the air that the elections in the US would be different. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama where fighting it out as candidate for the Democrats. In the end Obama won and he would have to fight it out with John McCain.

Obama's campaign raised $58 million during the first half of 2007, of which donations of less than $200, classified as "small donations" by campaign laws, accounted for $16.4 million. The $58 million set the record for fundraising by a presidential campaign in the first six months of the calendar year before the election.

He again broke fundraising records in the first two months of 2008, raising over $90 million for his primary.

After McCain was nominated as the Republican presidential candidate, polls indicated that he had closed the gap with Obama.

But to no effect as Obama defeated McCain on the 4th of November to become became the first African American to be elected President of the United States.

The world was desperate for a change and the world got it. For some reason there is suddenly hope again all around the world.

But a big task lies ahead for Obama because a certain Mr Bush will leave a big mess behind and it will take years to recover from it.

Lets hope that peaceful years lay ahead.

Roma 3 - Chelsea 1

Thank God Terry can score goals or it would have been 3 - 0.
Did Chelsea deserve to Lose with 3 goals difference? As a Chelsea fan I have to say no. But I guess Roma deserved to win.

The problem is that the Blues don't have that super striker as long as Drogba is not 100%.

Chelsea had a few chances with shots from Deco and Lampard but that was about it.

I don't think that Chelsea bought a super striker with Anelka. Maybe they panicked last year when they bought him.

I didn't see much of him in the game.

They made a few mistakes and you know those small mistakes will be punished in a competition like the Champions League, even when it is against a team that is ranked 17th in the Italian Competition.

But nothing lost. Still number one in the group. They shouldn't have any problems to qualify for the next round.

Panama's Casco Antiguo

When I traveled through Central America a few years ago, Panama was definitely one of the highlights.

The old city or Casco Antiguo is a marvel of history, packed with old restored buildings on narrow streets that date back as far as the 17th century.

If you have ever been to Havana in Cuba or Cartagena in Colombia and you loved those places then you will definitely love Casco Antiguo in Panama. No wonder it is included on UNESCO’s World Heritage List

I wondered around for days in the cobbled narrow streets draped in plant shaded terraces, with great photo opportunities around every corner The place still has that authentic feeling of almost 400 years ago.

As it is located in the Caribbean you are never far away from some splendid white beaches.

Now you can own a suite in the Historic Hotel Casco Antiguo. The hotel was built in 1915 and is a landmark in the district of the Casco Antiguo.

Hotel Casco Antiguo will be a condominium-hotel with 34 suites. As most suites will have their own private balcony overlooking either the quaint streets of the Casco Viejo or the inviting courtyard of the hotel, it is a great investment. What a great place as a second or holiday home!

Interested? Easy! Just Register for an eBrochure Here.

I think it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history in one of the most beautiful cities in Latin America.
