Missing My Blogsite

I have not been able to update my blog since July. I know this has been a cliche but I got swamped with work and activities. Though those activities will give me more topics to write on my blog.

To kick off there will be some changes in the way I put items on my blog. I will try to make it more organized as it should be. I'm planning to create a home page which shows summary of the articles which can be detailed in the tabs provided in this blogsite. I will add more tabs soon and will have underlying blogsite which is linked to this main site. More likely there will be changes on where to find the stories and articles but the layout will remain the same. Currently I have most of the recipes I tried making my own and food stuff under Food Section tab, I am thinking of having Entertainment Section, Cool Stuff, of course the main one will be Travel and Trips, and some Literature/s.

If you have any suggestion just let me know. Shoot me an email at eugenetucay@gmail.com or live a message at my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/travelingwithyu or by simply leaving a note here.

Also, I'm into cosplaying now and I want to share some preps I have been doing. Just got a shot with my wig and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Rhose Anne and Denden for helping me out.

I would like to also share one of my friends site who pushed me in writing. It's https://Infinitelyhappyme.blogspot.com by Doridel Cahanap.

Thanks and watch out for more articles soon...

2014 FIFA World Cup - Round of 16 - 3 Match | NETHERLANDS vs MEXICO

Netherlands broke Mexican hearts in the final moments after Wesley Sneijder's super strike and Huntelaar's calmly finished penalty at Estadio Castelao in Fortaleza. El Tri can't believe it as the Dutch celebrated their 2-1 win over Mexico.

First half of the game was pretty much slow for both teams but it was Mexico after Giovani Dos Santos scored for the first time in two years giving El Tri its lead. Dos Santos held off Daley Blind to fire off a half-volley from the top of the area and his accuracy in inch-perfect as it finds the bottom corner past a diving Cillessen.

The referees called a cooling break in the second half and it was Mexico who made the first effort but C. Salcido's shot was too high and too wide to cause any trouble for the Dutch goalkeeper. In return at 88' Wesley Sneijder equalizes for the Netherlands, and was a thumping strike. Klass-Jan Huntelaar heads it back to the top of the area where Giovani was corner and not even the impressive Guillermo Ochoa got it.

Not too long before the final whistle sounded, Klass-Jan Huntelaar (Netherlands) scored from the spot which made the Netherlands ease-through the quarter-finals. Huntelaar fired it to Ochoa's right as he dove the opposite way and the Oranje celebrated wildly.

2014 FIFA World Cup - Round of 16 - 2nd Match | COLOMBIA vs URUGUAY

The next match of Round of 16 first day was between Uruguay and Colombia. This 2 teams met 38 times and Uruguay historically have had the better of Colombia with 18 vitories. At the Estadio do Maracana, Rio De Janeiro, these two team again fought to get into quarter-finals.

The head to head statistics did not give Uruguay the chance to push through the quarter-finals left with 2-0 in favour of Colombia. Surprisingly all points made for Colombia came from the same person, James Rodriguez at 28’ on the first half and at 50’ on the second half which voted him Man of the Match.

Here are the half time and full time stats:

HALF-TIME: As the two teams head back down the tunnel, James Rodriguez's superb strike is the difference so far, though Colombia enjoyed the majority of the play during the first 45 minutes. Uruguay looked dangerous at times on set pieces and counter-attacks, but they only created a couple of true chances.

FULL-TIME: James Rodriguez made all the difference tonight and his efforts see Colombia go through to the quarter-finals, while simultaneously sending Uruguay home. The No10's first goal will surely be in contention for goal of the tournament, and despite a late flurry from La Celeste, Los Cafeteros were too strong for Oscar Tabarez's team, and Colombia's win now sets up what should be a fantastic quarter-final fixture against Brazil on Friday, 4 July in Fortaleza.

2014 FIFA World Cup - Round of 16 - 1st Match | BRAZIL vs CHILE

Last Saturday, June 28, 2014 Brazil fought against Chile in the first match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Round of 16. Brazil was able to squeeze through the quarter-finals on penalties after a tense match at the Estadio Mineirao, Belo Horizonte with 1-1 draw against Chile.

For the 3^rd time like in previous occasion, Chile has only made it this far which has been beaten by Brazil by all of those matches. This has been an omen for the Chileans but it was worth fight.

Brazil kept their dream of a sixth World Cup alive after narrowly escaping a tremendous challenge from Chile.

David Luiz of Brazil first made the goal at 18’ and Alexis of Chile followed at 32’.
