ive found something good to include for my first post in the early afternoon. anyway, ive been waiting for quite sometime to have someone speak out about cesc fabregas contribution in his team, arsenal. yesterday, kaka spoke about cesc resemblance to andrea pirlo and his future in football. hes only 20 and has played more than any player older than him. im hoping to see cesc playing for spain and gain a starting place. but i guess its too soon....

Kaka: Cesc Can Be A Modern Great

After watching helplessly as his side were jettisoned by Arsenal in the Champions League, Milan's Kaka' singled out one of Wenger's most important players for praise and admiration.

Cesc Fabregas, who has accrued genuine critical recognition for his deliberate and elegant performances, caught the eye of the FIFA World Player of the Year and is, in Kaka's opinion, what every modern footballer should aspire to.

As well as being the metronome in Arsenal's midfield, Cesc is also adept at making those around him play as he wishes, controlling matches, and this ability has not been lost on Kaka.

"He (Fabregas) is a great player for the future," said the Brazilian. "He's an amazing talent because of how he plays and how he controls how others play.

"He's always moving. He's the prototype of the modern footballer because he is aware of everything that his happening on the pitch."

Showing a composure and maturity that belies his tender 20 years, Fabregas, in the eyes of Kaka, can emulate one of the Milan star's more decorated and distinguished team mates.

Andrea Pirlo, the Italian World Cup winning playmaker displays similar panache and patience in his play to the Spaniard. Kaka' stated: "In some ways, he reminds me of Pirlo."

In terms of ability and vision, the two players certainly have semblence; and if Fabregas wishes to surpass the Milan midfielder and develop in to the player that Kaka' believes he can be, continental and international honours will need to be won. There are two major ones on offer over the coming months.

i love songs by coco or known as colbie caillat, most of her songs matched my mood. sorry if there's some spelling error coz it's very late at night here and i'm sleepy ready to be tucked in hohoho she reminds me a lot like vanessa carlton dunno which part..maybe it's de ja vu

take time to realize i'm on your side didn't i tell you? but i can't spell it out for you no it's not gonna be that simple. if you just realize what i just realized then we'd be perfect for each other and we'll never find another. if you just realize what i just realized  we never have to wonder if we miss out on each other but it's not the same no, it's never the same if you don't feel it too if you meet me halfway it could be the same for you.

eisleyian *final last call to admit defeat*. losing is a way to rediscover yourself, losing is better than winning coz next time,  you've got nothing too lose when you're challenging the winner. holding on to the crown is harder than taking it away coz there's always more chances on losing than to retain it.

can you hear me screaming

coming to find you

it's not that i want to making another night alone

this feeling is lonely

tearing me slowly

hits me so deep

it cuts my bone

fills my heart

burns me up

but why too long?

but why too long?

here's my hand, pull me up

we'll lie down now

making sure we put these words between us

don't put these words between us

can you hear us falling

we're falling faster

it's hard to remember

where we were at a year before

i thought we were ready

i thought we were steady

till the emotions hit the floor

fills my heart

burns me up

but why too long

but why too long

here's my hand to pull me up

(quietdrive-i lie awake)

the long wait.

i'm hopeful

tho i'm also doubtful

i've always been like this

always in between

never a risk-taker

always saving my own self

egoistic?

i don't think so

as optimistic as i'm

sometimes my self-esteem falls to zero

i'm stuck

can't go forward

all i could do is sit pretty

and wait for my path to come

can't go back

coz there's no door

that leads to my past

locked with the biggest gold metal lock

i'm sure

but i'm also unsure

forever seems absurd

and words are just words

but humans are destined to feel

if only wings were made to meet

leaves are falling

so as my hopes

tumbling down heavily

stars are shining

but my hearts glowing dim

forever seems harder than sleeping in tent

i wasn't ready

i was out of breath

my breath was taken by wind

it came

it took away my heart

and it flies too far

how to catch my heart back

how to smile

when the reason to smile

is nowhere near

naturally

logic will come to realize

and force your feelings to go away

unnatural as it may seem

i can't push myself over the edge

maybe i choose to be here

maybe it's my own fault

maybe i should stop questioning myself

maybe i should live learn and love everyday

like i was told by my inner deep voices

the room

starts to spin

shadow starts chasing me

lights are fading into thin dust

i'm crushed in a robotic wave

i'm crying in a crowded pack

i'm swimming different to the current

slave to the foolish wish

so as my soul begins to ache

let me fake a smile.

a mix of bowl

i came across an article yesterday which mentioned *patience and sincerity*. it has become a trend lately the words patience and sincerity because the movie that was watched by millions of people. long before everyone knew the words from a novel, my mom has taught me about patience and sincerity. it's a really warm feeling inside of me, the voices that always told me to have more patience and be sincere in everything that i do. 

i've been trying to be more patient and sincere in everything that i do or feel coz trust me it's never easy, you need to have the biggest heart to always be patient when things are harder than hating yourself  *accepting the fact that you're losing your grip but you can't let your anger loose*. i'm still in a process to become a better human being *pray for me* maybe i'll get the best MAN, the best life anyone can get, and the best time with my lovely family! *amiiien*

wealth is never on top of my list. it's the littlest thing that melts my heart. laughters, a smile that can make me nervous but happy at the same time, cheap flower that smells good, good indie music, patience, sincerity, good poet, good people with good intentions. as long as i'm happy and i'm satisfied with my choices (including my parents' happiness), i don't really care about wealthy doodes. i think i have come into a place where wealth can't buy me happiness.

i love living life with the ups and downs in it..grateful and feeling blessed to have the chance to live healthy and loved by lovely people. i should be more grateful coz maybe i have more than other people deserve in their twice-lived lives. alhamdulillah, God's blessing me all the time yaaay! ok, it's over-rated i've been saying this all the time but it's no lie coz i really2 am GRATEFUL and feeling BLESSED. thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!

i love to see other people's smile on their faces, it amaze me how their smile could light up my day. i know my journey is still far away and never say never coz i might change my views in the future. in the mean time, i believe only God can guarantee the best for me no one can take His place in my heart. i'll try my best to be humble and be among good people with good hearts inside, i'll have to try harder to accept hard facts in life. X)

me and you against the world now babesiie!! hopefully it's no longer stupid premonition! i want it to hapen noooow!!!!!haha have more patience should i? dear God, please give me the sinner more patience and sinceritieeeeees!!!

harharhar. loove ya. peace out.

eisleyian.

you can visibly see his smile on his face during training with england squad yesterday. england will come up against 98 world cup champions france in stade de france this wednesday. whether or not will he take part in the starting XI remains to be seen as capello seems unsure which player running the right wing. some suggest capello prefers 4-5-1 and playing wayne rooney as lone striker and steven gerrard as his sidekick upfront. perhaps, capello is trying to break englands old tradition playing 4-4-2 for their national side. they, mostly, come good playing the formation. however, changes need to be made and tomorrows friendly against france holds the answer. i forgot to mention that becks will not be honored with the armband like all previous 100th cap gainers in the past. looks like capellos is unnerved by all this tradition. some claim that capello is unsure who is right for the position. contradictory to these reports, according to a close source, capello has decided that no one should replace john terry as captain. hes done marvelously with chelsea and he should carry on as national captain. thats what the source has said not me. if only becks had played for an english club, he could have had a chance to retain his armband. but his loyalty to man utd is above our sense. arsenal had the chance to snatch him off real madrid squad 2 or 3 yrs ago, esp when things didnt go too well in madrid. but wenger knew too well that becks would have never betrayed man utd, his old club. for your information, arsenal are man utd fierce rival since decades ago. theres no way becks could have easily sneaked into arsenals dressing room without creating too much controversies. its just too much for him and the family. playing for a club in a country where football is nothing but a high school sport, has caused him a place in the england squad. most of people think his move to US as semi-retirement decision and no one believes he will surpass 100th cap for england. once hes given out the milestone record, he will be removed from capellos minds. but i doubt this will be the scenario. capello, the england manager, has stated before that a player will only be graded based on merit, not even lesser than that. there are two players who, according to a newspaper, need to be worried about their place in the squad. these players are david beckham and frank lampard. i disagree with the statement. if they play well, theres no reason for them to be frightened as the coach has said before, play well and you'll be selected. last time round, lampard played like a 12 yrs old compared to gareth barry. but ste-c refused to back down and continued his service. anyway, all players entitled a second chance including frank lampard. lets wait and see. i hope i will able to watch this match....hoping....hoping....

Not Even.

he proposed.

why do i feel nothing

not even a glimpse of hope?

not even a bit of jealousy or even a smile

he used to make me cry.

for days until my eyes were swolen

he used to make me feel angry

because of lies he got me named

he smiled.

i nodded, he went on

did he know

he used to rape my faith?

little things like flowers

make me smile

not even you with flowers

could erase your lies to me

you threw my soul away

with your two bare hands

i took the last straw

i went to search my soul

i'm never a person full of rage

but still preferences are above words

and i can't be what i'm not

unlike you, fake those smile away

we have different lives

you can smile all the way you want

but the truth is never far

and your lies won't hurt me anymore

someday i'll know more than your tiny brain could fit

someday i'll see more than you thought you had seen

someday i'll feel more than you thought you'd feel

someday i'll be more than you thought i'd be

explanation:

we both know, it was you who pushed me around. we both know, there was no one else outside our cynical-bond that should we blame. we both know, i was honest. we both know, you begged and i refused. we both know, you promised and you broke the chain not me. we both know, you had too much vodka when you blabbered your lies and it hurt me deeply. we both know, i used to have faith in you but you betrayed my faith in you. we both know, you should keep your useless mouth shut than begging for people's attention. we both know, i was the victim and i can never let you back in my live and pretend everything's never better. we both know, after what you have done and said i'll never forgive and forget as easily as turning my back against you.

dusty.rusty.windy

i don't want to feel sad

i don't want to feel hollow

i don't want to hide more tears

i don't want to have sorrow in silence

go away miseries

go away rainy days

go away bitter pills

go away sleepless nights

take my doubts

take my wounded heart

i'd rather be heartless

than having one but never whole

who'd want to fall into the same trap

at least i don't want to

the more you try to please

the more i feel displeased

patience, please stay

disguise, please go

if you don't intend to stay

coz i never invited you here

they're happy now

why can't i smile too

they're whole now

why i feel empty now

don't make me cry 

don't make me that i ain't

maybe we need some space

i'll never search for you if you don't want me like i want you

i've been in your place

and i know more than your brain knows

we'll see whose smile will last

we'll see how this will end

be nice to other people on your way up, 

coz you will meet them on your way down

i forgot who said this but surely this kinda fit my position right now, somehow *head on collision* once again be the theme song. some people when they're down they tend to over-reacted and always want to be close to you so you can transfix your psychic power to help them going through certain phase which is not easy. 

when they're done and feeling overwhelmed with their new lives, they always forget to call you or to even say hi. i'm not sensitive or even feeling gutted by their whereabouts, i'm used to feel letdown by their choices over my advices. i'm just wondering will they ever know that i'm human and i can't escape that i have feelings too.

i don't regret every nice treatment i did for them i just feel sad for myself, for being too open and let them come inside of me and break my heart when they're finished with their lame feelings. it's sad when people are using you when you don't even realize they are sucking your power from your heart and soul.

although i haven't said anything to them thus i've been trying to have more patience inside of me but i also can't say that i'm ok when my heart's being at stake. i hope this is just my emo side so when i wake up next few days, i'll find my strength to go forward with or without them with heart or even heartless once again. 

eisleyian.

i don't expect you to read this, all of you. maybe when life strikes foolishly my shadow will come by your brain and you'll think of me. some people when happiness comes they tend to forget people who are significant to them. was i important? was i just a shadow or was i real to your eyes? i don't hate you i hate myself for being emotional for something nitty gritty like this.

yihaa.....whatta nice lay out this is. ive read about safari 3.1 from a website and thought it would be a good idea to have it in the laptop. didnt think it would be downloaded in bundle with other apple software for my pc. and it turned out to be fantastic, im not kidding. well, at least if ie7 gets crappy and sour, i certainly have other option. anyway, capello has announced his 30 men squad and guess what? becks is on the list. anyhow, he can be eliminated and no player is guaranteed of a place in the last 23. so, i keep my hope high. if hes indeed included in the last 23, he still needs to maintain his fitness and impress capello during training sessions. its true there are strong rivalries goin  on in the england camp but becks need not to be cautious coz he has 99th caps under his belt. and being on the field with champions such as france, england needing its best squad to conquer the giants. its been a while since i watched becks playing football. since his departure to LA Galaxy, i havent been able to see him whack some elses foot ;) hoping to see  him on the field once more with england. more power to becks....

eisleyian.

Goodbye mourning

in a silent night

as the cat crawls in deep

emptiness kicked 

everything's meaningful

everything's here

what's more to wait?

as everyone lied down

questions rose

will there be a way?

will there you and me?

will there be 'fin' sign?

said and done

if this is the punishment

let God give me more patience

and forgive all my sins

as i've sinned so much in my life

bring me closer to You

heaven knows i'm in deep misery

let them think 

what they want to think

God knwos me best

as i've been waiting all this long

misery comes in double

and tears are inescapable

my heart and soul is at stake

i want to heal myself

how long should i wait

till this is over?

nothing left to pray

and i'm still here

so long, goodbye uncertainties

power behind your eyes.

everyone's asleep and i'm borrrreeeeed! hixhixhix i want to do netsurfing but i have no site to visit or at least no idea which site to visit. hmpppfffh and lately i've been running out of form when it comes to blogging, bad bad me. so i kind of listen to my playlist and write a bit of everything which is almost nothing *blooh* 

loner, i love the word although i don't ever feel lonely coz i have the loudest crowd but i really2 like to mention that word to myself or even to people who are very2 dear to me. no offense but i just love the word, nothing personal *get it?* X) i'm such an antique, blame the brain i guess who thinks/works too much.

i'm very2 delighted coz my dad's going to bring home my fav-fattening food ever but who cares coz i haven't had anything to chew all day just to wait for it. i lied, i had milk, cookies, and eggs before this harharhar. of course i had to eat something or my stomach will hurt and i will act abusively *harharhar*

i love oldies songs as much as i love 80s/90s/00s songs, i went to this mall with my family last week and thankfully there was a band who performed oldies songs and me and my parents were practically enjoyed the songs yaaay! *minus the old-dood who couldn't sing but sang songs anyway, helooo??*

my dad was very2 irritated for my download-songs-behaviour which to him was super annoying. harharhar everytime i use his lappie i'd download songs till his HD would cramp and stuck because of my many songs. i tend to forget moving it to my own EX-HD and my dad knows me best hihihihi *forgive me daddy!!*

i'm currently listening to the song that reminds me of a place i visited almost three years a go, God i miss that place so very muuuch!! as usual, i wanna say i feel thankful coz God has given me and my family the best opportunity and for me personally. God has given me everything that's needed for someone like me.

the theme song is very much the same that defines every absurd feeling that's been going on for a while. although i tried and been trying to let it go, the effort seems useless in some certain ways. bluish all over you.

eisleyian in pink!

its goin to be a very stressful moment for becks coz capello is going to announce his 30 men squad. and according to the sun, if a player is included in the draft he will certainly be in the last 23. but it all down to mr. capello himself. he is famous for expelling becks from the real madrid squad a year ago and he will not be frightened to leave him behind this time around. he has proven to capello that hes worth the time. baldini, capellos assistant, had spared his time to watch becks play for LA Galaxy against dallas fc. im not sure what he thinks but according to many articles ive read, becks has given everything he could to inspire his side. nevertheless, we can only see his endless effort come into reality this friday. happy holiday everybody....anyway...tomorrow holds nothing against me or you....*sigh* my sist is going to say like this "o my god...what is the meaning of these words?? u only write about nothin important to human existing"...tsk tsk...whatta nice sister she is...

my sist ruulles hahaha she downloaded my fav songs ever this past few days. yaaay!! such a nice sist isn't she? occasionally only hohohoho

i'm bored, dunno waht to write hixhixhix well actually i'm still very much confused but i'm beginnig to understand which is which.

i'm sorry for those who have misunderstood for every action i took while they were busy leading lives. i had to keep it inside.

it was worrying me at first, everything i had to do based on the fact that they were very2 close to me wholeheartedly!!

i didn't want to hurt each of them, that was why i laid low too long and still i haven't decided the next step *indecisive!*

gotta go i need to find more inspirations, my writings have begun to bore people hahaha love ya babes..

eisleyian.

mphhh...one thing that i really despise from david beckham is his tattoo. one or two to me is no problem. but when he decides to paint his whole arm with tattoos, i suggest from now on he should cover his "tainted" spots. i hope this one here, will be his last journey to ultimate pain. however, deep down inside i strongly doubt he'll stop painting his body. becks....legs are certainly out of options. those are your main assets....well, you can have them done once you are 40s and way out of anyones leagues which is few many years from now.

its very early in the morning and i am pretty sure, i wont be able to raise at 9am sharp like i am supposed to *sigh*...what can i do? he should have told us for not coming back early as we had thought. anyway, its goalless draw and becks took the game marvelously according to the coach. well, i supposed it should have been more than a draw but nothing can be done now as the game has ended. one thing for sure, becks contributed to the game tremendously and i am certain capello will not think twice to include him into the national side. next match will be against france and i cant be sure whether becks last performance would convince the national coach more than we are. maybe its time for becks to consider retiring from international duty. i dont doubt him, i never do. but there are people out there who hate him more than adolf hitler himself. i guess these people are just jealous of his fame and glory. whatever he touches turns to gold. well, i might have exaggerated a lil bit but who cares. i have an interesting article from LA Galaxys official website regarding their last match against dallas fc. check it out....

LA, FCD play to scoreless draw
Beckham's debut at Pizza Hut Park overshadowed by 100th cap talk
By Steve Hunt / MLSnet.com Staff

FRISCO, Texas -- The Los Angeles Galaxy concluded their preseason on Saturday night with a scoreless draw against FC Dallas before a sellout crowd at Pizza Hut Park. And judging from the scoresheet, where the visitors outshot the Hoops 14-11 with six of those being on frame to FCD's none, the Galaxy might be a little farther ahead with the start of the MLS season two weeks away.

"I think we played an excellent game," Galaxy head coach Ruud Gullit said. "For most of the game, I think we dominated. I think we created some excellent chances also. I think several of the youngsters did well today and that was great experience for them at this level. It's still a matter of looking for the right shape."

Much of the capacity crowd came to see L.A. star midfielder David Beckham, who was making his first appearance in Frisco. He was scheduled to play last July in a SuperLiga match but was unable to make the trip because of an ankle injury, leaving scores of disappointed fans in north Texas.

"David (Beckham) played well," Gullit said. "He's an excellent player and a great example for the other players on the team, especially the youngsters. He has the experience we need to bring the youngsters to a new level. He made some excellent passes but we couldn't convert any of them. I think he played excellently."

All told, Beckham took eight free kicks for the Galaxy and countless other free kicks. Several of those resulted in great scoring chances. In the 19th minute, he found midfielder Alvaro Pires off a corner but his header went wide right.

Then in the 34th minute, Beckham floated a great ball off a free kick to Landon Donovan, who was near the Hoops' far post. Donovan then had the presence of mind to head the ball back toward the goal, where Abel Xavier was waiting but his header was tipped over the crossbar by FCD goalkeeper Dario Sala, resulting in another corner for the visiting side.

Following the match, Beckham was pleased with how his Pizza Hut Park debut turned out.
"It was a good game," he said. "I think we played some good football.

At times, we played through them quite easily and created a lot of chances. But when you don't finish chances, it's always going to be a close game. I think that both teams performed well but I think that we edged it because we had so many chances and could have scored. It was great being here in Dallas. I enjoyed the game."

England national team assistant coach Franco Baldini was in attendance to gauge Beckham's fitness in advance of England's match with France on March 26 in Paris, which would be the 100th cap of his international career, but Beckham didn't feel pressured a bit.

"I think it's just like Premiership games when he goes to games there with Fabio Capello," Beckham said. He's obviously going to see how my fitness is and how my form is. It's only natural that's going to happen. There's no added pressure on my side.

"I just had to go out there and perform. I had to play the balls that I can play and work hard. I enjoyed the game tonight. It was a great game on a nice pitch before a majority of nice fans.

I got stick from some of them but that's normal. That's part of being a player for your national team. You're always being watched by somebody. It comes with the job."

Gullit employed a lineup featuring a mix of veterans along with a few youngsters and, overall, was pleased with how the evening turned out.

"You want immediate results but that's something you can't get," he said. "The youngsters have to have experience the older players have to help them out a lot. It's OK to play a lot of youngsters but you have to have patience."

But one positive for the Galaxy boss was the number of chances his side created on the offensive end.
"You always look at the creative side," Gullit said. "The most important thing is to build a good foundation. It all builds up from the defense and midfield to up front. We're not yet where we want to be but hopefully, slowly we will get there."

The Galaxy open the 2008 MLS season on March 29 at Colorado (5:30 p.m

well, i must say that this weekend matches were anything but entertaining. arsenal lost their grip on the premiereship title with only drawing 1-1 against boro. and real madrid gave up their lead by losing to a weaker side deportivo la coruna, 1-0. i had the feeling of this sour match after watching the first 45 mins and decided to go to bed instead. i hate to read all the nonsense in the media, esp after man utd won against lowly side derby county. i must say, wenger should start focusing on champs league instead. its indeed difficult for his team to beat liverpool on their home turf. however, nothing is impossible. when all the odds were against arsenal, no one would have thought seeing arsenal defeating the defending champions with galloping scoreline in san siro two weeks ago. whilst record was broken, i certainly wouldnt have hoped arsenal playing against another tough side, an english club. this is disaster but i know for certain that as long as we remain positive, we can overcome challenges. lets go arsenal....dont give up now...

i must be crazy for not tuning in to football matches. but i cant do nothing. anyway, big plans are ahead of me. decisions arent meant to be easy and its fairly true. whatever the outcome will make, i'll have to be prepared for the worse.

i miss blogging, but it's late at night and i'm very2 tired. the emotion's pretty much mixed up inside, many branches inside my brain. and i'm confused, dizzed, puzzled. what should i do?

confusion leads to another disasterous damage control. why did it all happen on the same track? turning back the time won't change anything, everything's been taken care of.

i miss you, i can't say it in any other way. this time, i hope i'm not going to explode myself and turn into pieces of walnuts. life is surprising indeed. *laughless*

i miss taking cool pics, i'm going to learn how to photoshop once i get my hands on the *book* hahaha keep praying maybe this time prayers are granted.

cool off babes,

eisleyian.doozoff!!

well, we found a light amidst the gruesome of reality. but it wont reveal anything unless we start looking for meaning. what we are experiencing is the result of cause and effect. if i was a smoker, chances of getting lung cancer is a lot higher than my mom who despises ciggarettes more than anything else in the world. i have to be ready for his grim expression explaining my situation. head down and tears falling down my cheeks. wow....what a great negative imagination in the early afternoon. im trying to visualize how a person deals with so many challenges and yet, he/she determines to reach the finish line without whimpering. few years ago i would have cast my hopes as high as the sky above. but its so much different now. changes take a different turn and giving not only false hope but disappointment as well. i see nothing but the sun set. tomorrow promising a better day but no one guarantees a certain result. we have to run to evade heavy downpour unless we love to feel the freshness of the wiggling rain. tomorrow is a mere fantasy to someone; but to me, is a certain decision and once i have taken one, i will live forever to keep it. whilst, i am standing off balance from the railing high in the sky. i hang on tight to my deepest faith....God will not let me fall to the ground.

i wonder what really happened after the game against villareal. well, if barca lost then villareal deserved the win. i guess juan laporta finally knows how it feels to be a president of "the fantasticos". star players dont give any team wining ways as they have hoped. arsenal looked promising in their last match against ac milan and hopefully, will go through the next stage and reach final. and this time around, win the final. i say that henry should start thinking wisely and make some sense. hes a freshman and act like one. i know he has reputation and he'll be damned if he cant deliver a trophy this season. he is by the way, the king henry. well, it was his nickname while serving with arsenal. anyway, beaten in copa del rey and now facing tough competitions in la liga as well, barca are definitely need some energy to lift up their tired soul. let see what might happen in the remaining matches of the season, hopefully barca lose their bid in any of trophies they are pursuing. for the sake of real madrid and arsenal of course.

Henry Angry About Change - Pirès
Robert Pirès has revealed that Thierry Henry was so angry after being substituted against Villarreal that he stormed out of Camp Nou and did not even speak to him.

The Barça forward was taken off for Bojan Krkick in the second half of the Blaugrana's defeat by the Yellow Submarines, and was not happy about the switch.
Henry had agreed to meet Pirès after the game, but then left early after being taken off by Frank Rijkaard and Pirès revealed that his friend was not happy."He was angry because he is not used to being substituted. At Arsenal he was never substituted," the Villarreal star explained."We agreed to speak after the game and have a good chat, but when I went to find him they said that he had left and gone home.
But he had left me his shirt though."If I said that Henry was fine, then I would be called a liar. It is difficult because I do not play in his position, he is always switching between the right and the left. I know him and I know he is not good.
"Henry missed training on Monday with an alleged migraine, but the club insisted that he was in the stadium working in the gymnasium.
Relations between the Barça squad and the press have deteriorated rapidly in recent weeks and only Andrés Iniesta and Gianluca Zambrotta walked through the Zona Mixta to speak after the game.

its been challenging week and im not sure what to do anymore. one after another came crossing my lawn and brought nothing but broken records. crossing busy street seems to me, a very absurd idea. however, nothing can stop me from crossing it except of course, The Almighty God. please give me your brightest stars to accompany my souless gravity....

i had decided to attend a friends private party. at first, i thought, it would have been unwised if i let myself get mixed up with so many complexities. but it was worth all the dimes. at least, i could see something that i havent been able to witness in my life. im glad for her and her family, of course. at the same time, i could feel there was something amiss. however, it could be nothing but personal worries. perhaps, i need to take it back a little further and watch it rolls over like it supposed to be. im happy for her and hopefully, it'll be the first and last for her. embrace a new dawn my friend....we'll walk side by side but in a different dimension. we can only stand here, waiting for it to happen. peace out...

Red Ring of Failure
Is your Xbox 360 still working? You must be one of the lucky ones.
By Mike Smith

Over 18 million Xbox 360s have sold through since the console's launch in November 2005, but just how many of those are still working? Squaretrade, a company that specializes in providing warranty support to purchasers of electronic goods from various manufacturers, claims 16% of Xbox 360s experience a hardware failure within six to ten months after a warranty purchase.

Three out of every five failures were for the infamous "Red Ring of Death" general hardware failure error, a problem often linked to overheating.

The Xbox's figures compare poorly to competing consoles, which have a failure rate of around 3% -- and if anything, the Squaretrade figure underestimates the scale of the Xbox 360's reliability issues. It's a good bet that some buyers of Squaretrade warranties went straight to Microsoft after experiencing hardware issues and don't factor into the 16% number.

On its company blog, Squaretrade pointed out that failure rates are "certain to go up" as the machines in their study group grow older.

Microsoft is cagey about coughing up official failure rate figures, which has lead some commentators to speculate about the actual severity of the problem. Luke Plunkett, a blogger on respected games news site Kotaku, said in a recent post that if the real failure rate wasn't in the 30-40% range, he'd "wolf down humble pie until his sides split."

Plunkett's sides are likely safe. Stories of 360 owners making their way through eight or nine consoles aren't hard to find, but to its credit, Microsoft has been working with the affected individual in at least one of those cases to lessen the impact of the constant failures.

well, i found this story quite amusing as i have heard this issue before. a promoter once, offered me to take xbox 360 instead of ps 3. he said, that i could have the same features with even better price. now, i can laugh at that. i knew i could always count on sony. i have my own ps 2 since 4 yrs ago and its stll up and running. way to go....cant wait to hear more good news from sony. well, i am thinking about Wii....mario bros...

i'm stuck in between
i can't move
i can't resist
i can't be
what i'm supposed to be

i wish i had known
i wish i had noticed
i wish i could react differently
they are my everything
they are the colors of every rainbow

never knew
life would lead them this way
and now i'm standing in between
i don't take sides
but i can't go on like this forever

i found this good article from goal.com. its about mourinho saying that wenger is the most fortunate football manager; thats why i derived from his statement actually ;). well, read this article if you want to be sure...

I Envy Wenger

He also admitted that he envies the way Arsene Wenger is backed at Arsenal, unconditionally. “Arsenal were incredible against Milan and across the two matches there’s no doubt which team deserved to go through," he opined. “But it’s a unique situation which Wenger enjoys, when a coach can fail to win anything for a few years and still work under no pressure at all! “It’s an idyllic situation, he’s still an idol. And they don’t even develop their own local youth talent, they buy young unpolished jewels and then make them shine. “He is given time to work serenely and build results — it’s a very different approach to most clubs.”

Brilliant Arsenal End Milan Era & Make History

AC Milan 0-2 Arsenal (0-2 on aggregate)Two late goals from Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor gave Arsenal an historic and thoroughly deserved victory at the San Siro, where they became the first English team ever to beat the Rossoneri on their own patch in European competition. It was a master-class from the young Gunners, who ran their experienced opponents, the reigning European champions, ragged.

Arsenal started boldly, at a high tempo, and were superb throughout a first-half they dominated, yet couldn't find the vital breakthrough goal. Passing the ball smartly and at impressive speed, and winning the ball back with some crisp tackling when Milan gained possession, it was an impressive statement of unity, enthusiasm and skill from Arsene Wenger's side.

But although Cesc Fabregas hit the bar following another incisive Arsenal attack, Milan would have been relieved to go in at the break on level terms, having been left chasing shadows at times in the first-half.Pre-match, Wenger opted for Emmanuel Adebayor to play as a lone striker, supported from midfield by Alexander Hleb. Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie were on the bench, with Abou Diaby keeping his place on the left and Emmanuel Eboue, currently serving a domestic suspension, coming back on the right of midfield.

Milan had never lost to an English team at home, beat Manchester United 3-0 at the San Siro last season, and were defending the title of European champions they won last season. Manager Carlo Ancelotti had World Player of the Year Kaka in his starting XI after the Brazilian playmaker shrugged off a knee injury, while veteran skipper Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Nesta, Andrea Pirlo, Filippo Inzaghi and Alexandre Pato all started. But Dutch international Clarence Seedorf missed out with a hamstring injury.

Arsenal started with intent, Adebayor attacking Milan central-defensive unit at pace. But the Gunners had an early scare when, on eight minutes, Maldini's header came off Adebayor's knee and was heading for the net until Fabregas cleared it off the line.Five minutes later, Fabregas won the ball with a superb tackle and immediately set Adebayor on his way. The Togo striker outstripped the Rossoneri defence for pace, then checked his run and played the ball into the path of Diaby, who curled his shot narrowly wide from the edge of the area.Milan showed their threat when Inzaghi shot weakly straight at Almunia from just inside the Arsenal area, and Kaka sprinted through the Arsenal midfield menacingly before picking out Pato with a superb cross, but the younger Brazilian chose the wrong option and knocked the ball gently into the arms of Almunia. Then Kaka cut inside from the right and shot quickly towards the near post with his left foot. It hit the side netting from 20 yards though Almunia had it covered.

But in general Arsenal were bossing the play, William Gallas at last leading by example at the back, ably assisted by Gael Clichy, Mathieu Flamini working tirelessly in midfield, Fabregas pulling the creative strings and Adebayor posing a persistent threat to Milan's back-line.Maldini gifted Arsenal possession in the final third and Adebayor nearly made him pay, but his shot was just touched over the bar by Kalac for a corner.

The Gunners then created space for Fabregas, but his shot was deflected wide for another corner. Then Eboue hit an inviting cross right across the face of the goal but no Arsenal player could get on the end of it. At hat stage it was all Arsenal, with players lining up to shoot. Ludicrously, Hleb was booked by the referee on 33 minutes for diving when he was clearly fouled by Nesta right on the edge of the area.Arsenal responded by Fabregas hitting the bar from the edge of the box as the visitors continued to dominate all over the pitch. Adebayor received the ball just inside the Milan area after another flowing Arsenal attack, but he took a touch too many and the Rossoneri won the ball back.Milan relieved the pressure with a counter-attack spear-headed by Kaka, but Flamini made a superb tackle to dispossess the Brazilian.

Flamini then produced another excellent tackle on Kaka, before Hleb eventually played in Eboue, who was judged to be marginally offside.Early in the second-half, Arsenal won a corner from Fabregas that eluded everyone until Senderos stormed in at the far post but sent the ball into the arms of the grateful Kalac.Pirlo gave the ball away but Eboue shot wastefully wide, before Clichy dealt well with a long through-ball from Ambrosini despite the close attentions of Inzaghi.

Kaka showed his class again when he surged towards the Arsenal goal and let fly with a shot that flashed just wide of the post. Pato volleyed over from 20 yards when the ball sat up kindly for him.Hleb found space in the Milan area box and tried to find Eboue, who went down, but although the referee said no penalty, Maldini looked to have grabbed him by the arm.Gilardino replaced Inzaghi on 67 minutes, and a minute later Walcott came on for Eboue.

In the 74th minute, Arsenal created another excellent chance which fell to Walcott whose shot was saved by Kalac, the keeper then diving on the loose ball before Adebayor could reach it.Although Arsenal were less dominant after the break, they still looked the likelier to break the deadlock. But Pato went close for Milan when he controlled a long ball on his chest, cut inside and unleashed a shot that flew just wide via Senderos.

Finally, on 83 minutes, Arsenal got the goal they so richly deserved. Fabregas almost out of nothing, turned Gattusso and hits a superb early shot from distance that took Kalac by surprise. With the Arsenal fans in the stadium ecstatic, and many Milan fans streaming out of the ground, Arsenal got the second goal their dominance deserved.

Adebayor got his first Champions League goal for the Gunners, thanks to Walcott who made it, leaving Kaladze for dead and playing a perfect ball across the six-yard box for the Togo striker to stick it in the night with unbounded delight.

perhaps my sist will, once again commenting about the font i chose to write this post, but what the hell. i love it when she raises her eyebrows and hears her rambling about it :). anyway, we are very delighted today as the gunners gunned down one of the most experienced teams in europe in terms of qualifying in the champs league; the glorious team is AC milan. most of people, i think, would have expected to see AC milan crawling through the tiny space and reclaim their title for the 2nd consecutive years. however, things turned out to be disastrous for them in their own home ground, san siro. who would have guessed the young soldiers stomping their marks in san siro to claim the first english club to ever beat AC milan in their own turf after so many years without success. just for your information, man utd were beaten last season in san siro. i dont know the scoreline, as long as they were down, i dont give a damn. coming to san siro knowing the fact as the 2nd best team didnt stop my lovely gunners to win the match and regained their best performance ahead of tight schedule in the premiere league. to be fair i wasnt expecting to see the gunner to win the tough match especially with loads of experienced players in milans side. i dont think pato deserves his place in the starting XI and i was right. i didnt see the spark between the two strikers and it clearly disadvantage milan in so many ways. hes only 18 something and playing in such level warrant more wise decision from the coach. he had 2 or 3 clear chances but wasnt able to convert them into results. perhaps, milan should think harder how to bear playing matches without their scarlet playmaker, kaka. if wenger decided to put a strong guard around him, milan would have to leave the stadium empty handed. last night though, wenger thought it would be better if each one of his players focusing on zone marking. and it turned out to be a lucky one as kaka hasnt completely recovered from his injury. one player cannot be burden with such huge responsibility. probably it is the best time for milan to have a few playmakers rather than to have one. last season henry thought that barca would be the best team he could have imagined and left us with much despair. but after several months and few adjustments, arsenal have become a completely different team. hleb shared the same sentiment claiming that the absence of thierry benefits him and other players in many ways no one would have thought. i dont want to be arrogant as arsenal have yet to reached final and nothing can be said before the D day. so God, please give me your mercy for writing rubbish every day... :)

i am home....am i not? far in a distant that no one will recognize my face....
eventually, someone dear to me closing by and hold me tight...
