Why is Beckham smiling?
Because it has been recently revealed that Real Madrid and England football star David Beckham earns up to $82,730.21 (47,500 UK pounds) per day! R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S.
The money comes from his wages from Real Madrid and numerous sponsorship deals, when the sums are done the Beckham comes out with around $1,741,706.31 (1 million UK pounds) every three weeks. It really doesn't seem fair does it? The footballer's financial status has been revealed by the accountants for his company, Footworks Productions. David is the sole shareholder in the million pound firm, his wife Victoria is listed as secretary and her father Tony Adams is one of two directors.
The accountant's report quite rightly states: "We are very pleased with the result for the year." Beckham is reportedly seeking a new contract at Real Madrid worth around $69,674,450.33 (40 million UK pounds).
He currently endorses products for Adidas, Pepsi, Gillette, Vodafone, Police sunglasses and of course Brand Beckham.

PG-rated
Perhaps one of the most interesting and colourful words in the English language today is the word "fuck".
It is the one magical word which, just by its sound, can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate.
In language, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories.
It can be used as a verb, both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was fucked by John).
It can be an action verb (John really gives a fuck),
a passive verb (Aiden really doesn't give a fuck),
an adverb (Chris is fucking interested in John),
or as a noun (Jared is a terrific fuck).
It can also be used as an adjective (Mary is fucking beautiful) or an interjection (Fuck! I'm late for my date with Mary).
It can even be used as a conjunction (Mary is easy, fuck she's also stupid).
As you can see, there are very few words with the overall versatility of the word "fuck".
Aside from its sexual connotations, this incredible word can be used to describe many situations.
Greetings: "How the fuck are ya?"
Fraud "I got fucked by the car dealer."
Resignation "Oh, fuck it!"
Trouble "I guess I'm fucked now."
Aggression "FUCK YOU!"
Disgust "Fuck me."
Confusion "What the fuck.......?"
Difficulty "I don't understand this fucking business!"
Despair "Fucked again..."
Pleasure "I fucking couldn't be happier."
Displeasure "What the fuck is going on here?"
Lost "Where the fuck are we."
Disbelief "UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE!"
Retaliation "Up your fucking ass!"
Denial "I didn't fucking do it."
Perplexity "I know fuck all about it."
Apathy "Who really gives a fuck, anyhow?"
Suspicion "Who the fuck are you?"
Panic "Let's get the fuck out of here."
Directions "Fuck off.
Disbelief "How the fuck did you do that?"
It can be used in an anatomical description: "He's a fucking asshole."
It can be used to tell time- "It's five fucking thirty."
It has also been used by many notable people throughout history...
"What the fuck was that?" - Mayor of Hiroshima
"Where the fuck is all this water coming from?" - Captain of the Titanic
"That's not a real fucking gun." - John Lennon
"Who's gonna fucking find out?" - Richard Nixon
"Heads are going to fucking roll." - Anne Boleyn
"It does so fucking look like her!" - Picasso
"How the fuck did you work that out?" - Pythagoras
"You want what on the fucking ceiling?" - Michaelangelo
"Fuck a duck." - Walt Disney
"I don't suppose its gonna fucking rain?" - Joan of Arc
"Scattered fucking showers my ass." - Noah
"I need this parade like I need a fucking hole in my head." - John F. Kennedy

An account of a day or two
Woke up at 6.30 this morning. Thought it was 8am. But it’s not. The sky is already 8am bright according to my autumn brightness scale. Hit the loo for some toxic dump. Is it appropriate to blog about toilet habit? Ah, who cares? I love going to the toilet in the morning, especially just after waking up and before having my breakkie and shower. That’s a very nice feeling that I have so that there’s no need to look for a public toilet for the rest of the day in the case of an emergency.
I guess it’s my holiday mode has been turned on. I remember every time I was at home for holiday – I slept very early. Just like yesterday, after reading a few pages of Angel and Demon I gave in to the sleep demon at 11pm. Thanks for that – I woke up to a very beautiful morning. I haven’t actually had a good look at the starting of a day for quite some time already.
It’s always very nice to look out of the window from my room. Just green. Green is good for your eyes, there goes my parents. There is this tree that is growing purple flowers. Nice. Birds are looking for worms? Do they actually still do that? Probably not. Coz they don’t look like using their beaks to break the ground and look for worms. Instead they are taking morning walks! Just like my Grandma when she always go out in the morning for a walk and an exercise.
Interestingly I am not a morning person to go out for physical activities in the morning. Morning has usually been spent with reading, music and TV.
Had my haircut yesterday. The hair-dresser was Emi. She didn’t sound like an Ozzie so I asked her if she’s not local. She’s from Austria. What did we start to talk about that led us to true love? Oh that. We talked about German. I complaint how hard the language is – with the sex we have to remember for each object and when to use die, der and das. She went on to talk about her boyfriend. That’s what started true love.
She came travelling to Australia 5 years ago and Chris (her bf) went to Austria ½ a year a go. They met in Austria. It was love at first sight. And now she is in Australia, planning to get married to Chris in a year or two. That is really a big step to take and it’s because of true love, according to her. At this moment in time, I do not think that I could do it. Is it because I am not in love, and even if I am, I am not brave enough to take a leap? Most of the great things happened because someone took a leap. Be it a scientific break through or a love epic.
She went on to compare the view on love between women in Austria and Australia. In the Austrian culture, they do not really care about getting married. People just don’t care. But some women here can give up a relationship if the relationship is not going to take a next big step into the church. So we questioned what actually true love was. Is true love blinding? Is true love pure energy that will lift you to a place where nothing else can do so?
Even so, can true love die? Is there an expiry date on true love? One step back, probably there is more than one definition of true love. So can I say that instead of looking for true love, we might want to look for the other half that has same definition? I read before that being in love is an addiction. Do we really love the person or just loving the feelings because one thinks that one is in love?
Emi also asked me why my view on love would be relatively negative compared to hers. She questioned if I had any bad experience. I think the answer is yes and no as I don’t really wanna classify as major events of my life. She asked me to wait. She mentioned that great things are always worth waiting for. When the moment comes, that’s it. I could only nod.

Prime
Watched the movie "Prime" tonight with Brad. It's been a while since I watched some nice romantic comedy. I have found that they don't normally live up to my expectation hence I do not really dig them.
But this, I loved. It was fun, sexy and of course romantic and hot. The chemistry between Rafi and Dave was totally believable. And the intimate details about penis and not using a condom... It's more real than any romantic comedy that I've seen.
I mean the story line is exciting itself. A woman is dating the son of her therapist who is 14 years old younger than she is. And the mother wants her daughter-in-law to be be jewish and doesn't want her son to be a painter!
The mother says this in the end,"You love, you leave and you learn". How strikingly true that is. I also read something similar in someone's blog not so long ago and have wanted to share with you - being in love is about 2 people coming together with loads of baggage and complications and history and getting through those.
