Paris Saint-Germain taking on Bayern Munich was undoubtedly the tie of the quarter-finals of this year's UEFA Champions League. The fact that this was a replay of last year's Champions League final, only made the match-up that much more exciting.

The Why behind your goals

Posted in Self Improvement on 30th October 2020

How to nail your New Year's Resolutions

Posted in Self Improvement on 5th January 2020

"New year, new me". I love quotes like this because despite people's best intentions, they always seem to fizzle out by mid February at best and they are back to their old habits. The truth of the situation is that change is the hardest thing to implement and sustain.  Let me correct that. "Positive change" is the hardest thing to implement and sustain.

Ash wins it all- Pokémon League Champion at last

Posted in Entertainment on 17th September 2019

Well I'll be damned. 22 years. That's all it took. Ash (Tomato) Ketchup has finally managed to squeeze out a Pokémon league victory (pun absolutely intended). Haha I kid. Shouldn't be that mean. Speaking of kids, Ash has kept at it for 22 years while remaining 10 years old. If there's anything I want from cartoons and anime to transfer to the real world, it has to be this. The superpower of not aging. He wanted to be Read More »
