For the first blog entry to be in the Outside News category, well, this is about the Super Bowl XLVI. Now I am not very good at football and don't know anything about football, I just watch it--to cheer on my team and for fun. So here are some things to discuss about the Super Bowl yesterday.

I watched pretty much everything--except the commercials. I know the commercials or ads have to be big or something but I hate advertisement on TV. Websites... fine, but TV? Cable was regularly supposed to be ad-free. Weird.

I went to my cousin's house by walking. Ginger, a Jack Russell/Pit Bull mix walked with us. It was pretty long, being probably 53 minutes. The moment we got there Aceofshadows and Creepster left to do some "stuff," so it's basically us in the house. We watched the first quarter, seeing New York with 9 points, the Patriots with none.

At 7:00 we were picked up and went home knowing Kuya Alex was going to visit and eat with us, with Ate Nida at the Philippines for a week long. We continued watching the Super Bowl. Patriots came back later, with a 1-point lead, 9-10 New England.

Who did I thought was going to win and who did I root for? Again, I don't care who wins. It's should be a fun game to watch fan or not. However, I did think the Pats would win, but then again, I don't think they should. Rico completely supported the Giants, and wanted them to win. So did mom. Dad was at my side, as he didn't care who won and that he thought New England was going to win.

But because I had so much work to do on that Sunday, I kind of missed the Super Bowl. I didn't complain or whine or cry about it. What did I do instead?

I went to NBC Sport's website and watched it live there.

Okay, I only heard it while working, and mom said that New York was then 2-points behind the Patriots. I pretty much ignored her. If New York wants to win, they better make a touchdown, and they did.

And blah, blah, blah, we all knew New York won it 21-17. You know what was unbelievable to me is that New York came all this way to win. New England I would have to feel sad for. Lost against the Giants in Super Bowl XLII, becoming 18-1, now they lost this one. I decided looking for some comments at NFL.com and when it appeared, people were happy the Patriots lost, not happy that the Giants won. Even some guy said that. But anyways I give congrats to the New York Giants, they deserved it.
