i have been wondering whether becks move to Milan is actually a reality or fantasy. today some newspapers have already printed news regarding his shocking move, but with a little more details. the proposal is to loan becks from LA Galaxy to AC Milan for four months while his teammates in galaxy enjoying their off season holiday. anyway, milan fans have been strucked with excitement and already flock in to the capital asking whether becks is really arriving. some of them are also inquiring if his shirts are already on sale. this is, of course, a very good news for AC Milan as they are currently battling for financial issue. with becks arriving it could pump lump sum cash into the club and gaining as a "galactico" in europe. i am not sure with becks intention though. he's still struggling to help galaxy win any title for 2 years and i don't see how he can lift up soccer status in US amid his presence off the field. becks is not a saviour, that's for sure. if galaxy want to succeed, the club should hire the right coach and effective players to make LA Galaxy a winning team. brought in becks would not instantly make a club flying high and certainly not a champion of every titles. will it help becks to shy away critics lashing his aging performance? i am not sure. i heard from a news last night that it was capello who had made the suggestion to enable him be more competitive ahead of other boys in the squad. i don't think this was the case though. becks has his mind made up because he has reasons of his own. when he decided to move to LA Galaxy, i was a bit down and frustrated. he should have gone to other european clubs instead of losing his way to MLS. somehow, i knew this would happen. most of coaches in europe have so much doubt about MLS standard which they claim as lower than any european countries well, they could be right but not always. ruud gullit seems to share same sentiment as i do as he says that some of the clubs deserve a little bit more respect because of their achivement. while other MLS clubs enjoying flourish seasons, LA Galxy suffered a lot and lost their place to grab play off as they did last season. and becks is down with them as well. to add salt on his wound, capello only made him as substitute in all world cup qualifying matches. failure after failure shakes him hard. but it doesn't make him softer as people would expect it. he'll only be edgier and stronger in the future. he's been through the worse and i am sure he'll take no notice of silly jokes people throw him over his move to Milan and he will eventually come on top. the more people knock him the harder he pushes them. that's the kind of person he is. good luck becks, the fans will always be with you.
the secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one has to do

closing in
i will be soon departed from this country and join my longing to hold pain in the ass problems back home. isn't that a wonderful reunion? well, not in million times. so be it. i don't know what's going to happen and i'm tired of guessing. let God decides what is best for my own sake. answer my prays....
david beckham received the loudest cheers
i think it was the most loudest crowd in history of wembley, well almost. when becks coming on to replace theo walcott, the crowd cheered hearing becks name was announced. it was nice though as i have not heard his news for days. the crowd loved him and i did too. he paid back the enourmous greeting by giving them something to cheer about. he set wayne rooney's second goal of the night. he may have played for less than 20 mins but he had proven that he could still play part in the national team. as a fan, i am proud to what he'd done to his country. he is a true patriot by not letting criticism brings him down. go becks!!!
In the 77th minute of the game striker Wayne Rooney scored, giving England fans something to cheer about again. However, the biggest cheer of the night came in the two minutes later when David Beckham took the field, replacing Theo Walcott. Beckham’s mere presence seemed to breathe confidence into the rest of the team. The LA Galaxy star’s quality and accuracy of crossing that created numerous opportunities for the England forwards. Rooney scored again in the 86th minute and was given a well-deserved rest made way for Jermain Defoe who became the third and final substitute. Defoe netted probably the best goal of the night within his first 4 minutes of play, rounding off a 5-1 score line which flattered the overall 90 minute performance of the England team.

do the best
what's human? if we ask ourself what's the meaning of human we may not know the real reason we are living on earth at first place. only God knows everything there needs to know. will we be able to comprehend the meaningful life God has enriched us beyond our intelligence. well, not even the great scientist, albert einstein understood His mercy upon us during his eventful life. i guess we have to wait until what they call judgement day.
open up options
weighing up options that neither would take me anywhere but here. each of them would likely to banish me from human existence. i am not kidding, my credibilty is at stake here and i have no choice apart to blend in with rambo soul and combat.

beginning of an end or otherwise?
soon i will depart from this newly acquinted country and fly out to my accustomed neighbourhood. whatever i lay down to sleep i only find one thing to think of. and it all began with one silly decision to let it happened. whatever i did in the past has everything to do with i am experiencing at present. i will have to take the huge responsibility out of his shoulders and carry it whenever i am alive. one single thought perched on me last night and refused to leave me alone. will i be able to walk along the line? someday and i do hope it'll happen this very minute. i am forgetting my nature and stray outside the law. will i be forgiven when i had been given a chance i decided to look other way. God please forgive your humble servant. help me with this pilling up troubles to go away soon. pray for the best. one will only triumph after long winding terrifying road. take me there to the point of which human is free, so help me God.

ay ya ay ya
i finally found the title! it's called resident evil degeneration. after months of digging up information from yahoo to gamespot, finally i got the name of the movie. however, i still do not know when it will be released. some say it won't be in the theaters but only be available in DVDs or blu ray. well, i am not sure about it but i hope they will have it on DVD or in cinemas. if not, i just die...well that's too much. anyway, i get to watch trailers of it, here it goes...

one drop of water in the middle of the desert
reading so many negative news makes me sick and decided to put them away. anyway, i came across this good article concerning becks national career. to be honest i rarely read positive news about becks both on and off the field. when he fails people are eager to write on the wall of sins, but if he champions little effort is made to recognise his triumph. i guess this article is one of a kind. enjoy then....
Time they called him Sir David Beckham
On Sunday Fabio Capello will announce England’s squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Belarus. David Beckham is likely to make the list.
But I don’t want to wake up the day when there will be no Beckham in any such lists. When he’ll have packed the jersey and the boots in the trunk. When he’ll have played his farewell game in front of thousands of cheering fans.
I only hope his farewell game is at Old Trafford or Wembley and not at the Home Depot Centre in California. Beckham deserves that honour. To turn out for his last game at either of these great English stadiums and lauded for his contribution to football.
And not to end his career in front of a crowd of Hollywood A-listers, who’ll pay more attention to the colour he’s dyed his hair.
His iconic powers, good looks aside, I proudly admit to being a huge fan of him, the footballer.
This admission has often raised eyebrows, and resulted in an expulsion from the club of serious football enthusiasts.
For Becks can’t float like Zinedine Zidane, wasn’t blessed with the abilities of Maradona. He is too weak to win a tackle, too clumsy to dance down the pitch and score a goal. He just isn’t a great footballer.
But he is the greatest ‘hit-me’ doll ever made. The harder he was punched, the stronger he came back. In the 1998 World Cup, England’s ouster by Argentina was largely blamed on Beckham, who got himself sent off after kicking Diego Simeone. There was a nationwide hate campaign against him, effigies burnt and even death threats. He took it all and came back to win the treble with Manchester United in the very next season. He trained himself to become the greatest player in the dead-ball situation. Not many can still match his accuracy.
In his over-a-decade-long career, Beckham has taken it all — the hatred, vilification and jeers. He has now played 105 international games and scored 17 goals. That’s surely an over-achievement for someone of his talent and I only have admiration for such a spirit.
But, he has also received tremendous love, from people world over. (Here’s an extreme example — ‘a fan was reported to have licked every toilet seat she could access at a famous hotel in hopes of tasting one he had used’). He’s made his millions posing for the cameras, endorsing even underwear, has married a pop star, and is best friends with Tom Cruise.
He is now 33 years old and it seems, has realised that he has more to do for the game off the field than on it. He is willing to step aside and make way for Theo Walcott, if it means England can win the match. He is eager to work with various world bodies in promoting the game. The FA has benefited from his popularity.
Isn’t it fair then that we place Beckham in the same pantheon as the greatest of the game — if not for his skill, then for his impact? And it’s high time we called him ‘Sir David Beckham’
bitter weekend, well almost...
i heard a lot of bad news regarding la galaxy's achievement in recent weeks. they have. once again slumped even further to bottom league. well, to be fair it all depends on the overall performance of the team itself, not one particular player. david beckham is largely blamed for the lost games la galaxy have endured in the past months. it's not fair to justify la galaxy performance based solely on his chart alone. la galaxy must build their battered confidence to win remaining matches of the season and hope for the best that top groups slip to enable galaxy go for their play off. only miracle can save la galaxy from slipping even further to the ground. and to make it worse, arsenal were also failed to get full three points after drawing against sunderland. i didn't watch the game and to be honest i am grateful for it. other top clubs earned their win this weekend to make even greater gap between arsenal and number one group, chelsea. what a nightmare for me, could it be any harder? i hope there will be no more saddening news, or i'll go mad. is this a sign?. other teams can triumph after embarassing early goals, why can't arsenal and la galaxy do the same?. and why did i have to watch these maddening matches. i even watched ronaldo scored winning goal for man utd and saw arsenal lost. well, what a life. it drives me crazy to actually experiencing mental breakdown after watching my team lost to any team.
at least, i found a lot of cute accessories today and hopefully i can go to the place once again some time soon. i'll be leaving next week and i am hugely disappointed to learn that i can only come to this country at the end of this year. that can happen if dad wants us to come. i hope we'll stick to our commitment and not changing to other negative options. anyway, i bought so many stuff that i will not mention them one by one in this blog coz it seems unfair to tell you without giving a single thing to you. well, sorry to say i am happy to let you know that i'm not finished.

pathetic headlines
do we have to buy all their lies? i guess we don't have to listen all those blabbering words. people are talking about world financial crisis that crumpling every single state in the US and soon, it'll reach all parts of this universe. it all began with US invasion to iraq about four or five years ago. billions of dollars have been pumping in iraq in order to create positive environment. however, instead of stabilizing middle east, bush and his administration brought a lot of pain to the world. sometimes it's better that we let things happen the way natural wants it. if iraqis want to make a change, they have to fight for it. back in 1945, we fought our way to proclaim our independence despite resistance from western countries. we had risen from the bottom of a bottle and seized the rare opportunity to gain the momentum of a lifetime. they should have faith on themselves and others to get whatever they desire. starting from that on, US have been incapable of handling their financial issues wisely. they didn't see it coming and it hurt them badly. reading nerve-wrecking headlines and stories from both newspapers and tv cable makes me sick. they created this monster and now they are looking some kind of solution to their own creation? no need for a punch line then.
getting colder
it's getting colder day by day and today is the worst since we got here. it reached 10 degrees today and it will only get worse ladies and gentleman. it's our first experience anyway and i think a lot of people will understand our craziness. we can't wait to visit dongdaemun market once more to get warm clothes we wanted to buy today but couldn't get our hands holding so many shopping bags. it's a great experience to have visited such place in other people's country. we get to interact with foreign people, although i didn't do much of the talking. we basically talk with alien language that's for sure. i spoke english and they would talk me back with calculator. funny it may seems but efficient in the end. there are lots of places we haven't visited but one month seems not enough to go around this country. we have only visited shopping areas and leave historical sites to other day. actually, this country has a different shopping ambience compared to ours. no mega building with sophisticated design and so on and so forth. perhaps, they are more concern with people who are living in rural area. they have developed so much from the last time i heard from a friend. there are of course, few set backs but they are holding up alright. they are not japan but getting closer to it. i am extremely happy to be in this country and refused to go away unless i need to. i have not told a single friend of mine and i am sure they are completely puzzled of my whereabouts. i'm sorry my friends, i didn't mean to hold any secrets from all of you but i have reasons on my own from telling this to you all.
confused?
at the beginning i thought every single thing i do in this world would not relate to other people's lives at present time. the truth is, it's not only related to people, it also give them potential shock of what we are capable of doing. if you don't understand what i am talking about, then you should live my life for a month. well, it could happen to you as well but you might have forgotten how it gotten into your life until you feel the great pain surging into your damaged vein. anyway, i should be grateful that i am given another day to live my life, therefore i should be thinking a way to bail out of this negative vibe, so that beautiful things will go my way. she must be wondering whether she had done the right thing to put her trust on my shoulder. i think she had done the right thing by allowing us to buy more time, however we can't do anything at the time being. perhaps, we could figure out a way to give her assurance on this matter without jeopardizing current situation. getting our way, is the one and only the it.

yet again another twist
Football Shorts: Shaun Wright-Phillips to end Beckham's England run
WRIGHT-PHILLIPS TO END BECKHAM’S ENGLAND RUN
Shaun Wright-Phillips needs only to maintain his resurgence with Manchester City at Wigan this afternoon to complete David Beckham’s demise as an England player, writes Joe Lovejoy.
Fabio Capello, England’s coach, names his squad on Saturday for the World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan at Wembley on October 11 and is planning to recall Wright-Phillips, left, at the expense of 33-year-old Beckham, who has been on the bench for the last two matches. The City winger lost his England place during an unhappy sojourn at Chelsea but has been back to his best since returning to Eastlands for £9m last month, scoring three goals in his first three Premier League matches. Beckham is playing in a sub-standard league in the United States and is increasingly regarded as yesterday’s man, but he is not yet prepared to call time on an international career that has brought him 105 caps. He said: ‘I got a total of 20 minutes in the two games [versus Andorra and Croatia] after crisscrossing the Atlantic but it doesn’t matter if I play or if I don’t. It’s about the team’
i hate to read an article containing becks incapability to hold on to his position in england squad under capello's reign. i've seen older players still play their part in other national teams and the fans love them to bits. and now shaun is ready to take his position from right flank. i hate to see that to happen. i am deeply concerned with this process and only hoping for the best. there are other players who are seen as rightful owner of this position; they are theo walcott, david bentley and shaun wright phillips. they are all younger and much faster than becks especially walcott. i know becks can't always be in the regular team and now must be prepared to be in the bench most of the time, but i didn't know it would hurt like this. i can now understand becks feelings over this issue. well, i can only wait the squad list to be announced next week and hoping to see david beckham's name on it. pray boys and girls...
live again!!
after so long, i can finally write using WLW in this old laptop. usually, i can access it in less than a minute but in this laptop it'll take more than that. anyway, i am glad can post my thoughts.

much more about it again
so many things happened as each day passing by. one of them, happened to be very much disturbing. we need to take another daring move this time but not sure whether it will work out just fine. again, we need it more than ever this time. to some, it just like taking tissues out of a box, to others it's more than working past hours. how can we go out of this loophole? maybe not in a short time. i have to come up with a good reason to explain my absence these past years. perhaps, he could be lenient this time although i am not pretty sure about it. i can imagine his red face hearing my dubious reason. ow...ow hit on the stomach hurts more than i thought it'd be. smack me one more time i can never be in time to be with you oooo...poor singing girl, no more trials next time.
craving for more...
i have been away from my books for quite some time now. it might sounds funny but i have always find them around me all the time. to be honest, i have never thought that i'll miss flipping those yellowish pages as much as this. laugh at me now, but you won't find it funny anymore after your boyf/girlf can't separate themselves from books. looking at people around me either reading or holding their books with obvious excitement makes me homesick. i can only hold my breath and look on to other side. i have bought books few months ago and don't have time to read them at the time being. and now, i am too far away to even look at them. i love to read and usually, spend about three or four hours a day reading a book. hopefully, i can solve this problem in time so i don't have to wait longer than i supposed to. anyway, my PS2 is unavailable at the time being therefore, my mind is already starting to roaming around places i shouldn't be. wii and PS3 are other alternatives that i have been thinking to replace my old PS2. if it hadn't happened the way it was, i wouldn't have picked these alternatives as a way out. i loved my PS2 and still do but buying a newer version of game console isn't something far off from my target. dad agrees to buy me a dslr next month as birthday gift. i don't know whether it would come as reality as i have wanted it since months ago, so good luck for me....
another win
arsenal won their last match against bolton wanderers with an important 3 points. well, at least newspapers would have positive stories written for their readers. but i can assure you that it won't be major headlines, unless they suffered embarrassing loss and crumpled against big clubs. anyway, i love it when everything works out fine. today, arsenal will compete against a division one club. nevertheless, nothing is taken for granted. arsene wenger is very keen to release his very young guns to get a win in third round of carling cup. so far, they haven't disappointed me the way they did last year. i hope they can go far this time and not be left behind by other big three. promising young players they were, have been developing immensely this year to fill up big gaps left behind by previous experienced players. we might have lost other talented players guided by arsene himself, but we can earn something out of it. some of them have improved including alex song and denilson. as the time goes by they are showing more cutting edge than before. having them on the team is huge relief, however we might need to shift our attention to the defense line. as days passing by gallas and toure look more as unhappy couple to me. i missed the day when i see sol campbell standing firm on his ground protecting his area. he and toure formed a good partnership at the back and effectively send opponents away from arsenal's half. it's time for wenger to concentrate on his defenders instead of injecting more and more young midfielders in the center. let's get underway....

stuck in a moment
do i have to take this huge burden all by myself forever and ever? i guess so. it's starting to meltdown like iceberg in alaska and to make it worse i don't know how to halt this process. imagine if God were to granted longer life than i had to, those menacing troubles were not easily vanish and let me live my life happily ever after for sure. i had to make haste decisions to prevent any bad things crumbling all over again. why do these things never leave me alone. is it a curse? or merely stupid mistakes that never stops irritating human being for their existence. hah...what a blabbering non sense. i hope i can find guidance to bear this unbearable pain. am i too "dirty" to beg for His mercy? i don't think so. i am no angel but no evil either. lead me to your way forever more....
end of his era?
i have read many articles regarding becks latest match against croatia. not only, he played as subs but also as some people said that it would signal his last action with england. he got his 105 caps indeed but he didn't earn it through a tough match like used to have. it seems theo has a lot to offer in the future and at present, he's still growing to be a player he is long to be. he scored hatrick on tuesday that rousing positive remarks from all over england. it was signaling a new dawn for england and giving high hopes to qualify for the next world cup without much effort. i don't think it would the case though. other countries participating in the qualifying group are as determined as england to go to world cup in two years from now and i know they will not give up that easy. england recent nemesis, croatia were defeated indeed last week but they are not out. and will definitely seeking revenge when coming to wembley next year. ukraine is also other strong contender in the group to battle for the first spot, if not the strongest one. so, whatever achieved last week, will not surely or automatically give england assurance of 100% record especially dealing with tight schedule in premier league. capello will have to figure out how to manage those ignited players to stay fit during qualifying matches. i hope becks can still play roles in those games. he might not be 20s anymore but still can help england in many ways like he used to do when he was a captain. and i love they way he gave thumbs up to theo latest performance. he is genuine fellow and i do hope he can stay in the frame of capellos's mind although they used to have a very "strange" relationship while both of them served under ramon calderon regime. God has his own ways of putting puzzle back into its original state. who would guess FA appointed fabio capello as a successor of ste-c after ste-c had failed to bring the goodness of england players and cast them away from one of the best competition in the world EURO 08. it's always good to be positive but don't get overboard as it may hurt us more. work hard and it will pay off somehow
