finally, i get to see becks training with arsenal. there are more pics of him but i wont put them here, coz they are for our eyes only hehe...i really wish he could be part of arsenal team. unfortunately, i could only dreaming as i know the fact that hes already signed a contract with LA Galaxy. and also, hes always been a fan of man utd. so, its impossible. anyway, seeing him running and laughing with one of my fav teams is enough. i will be posted some news regarding his 'involvement' in arsenal training ground.

huaaaaa.....resident evil: degeneration is coming this year!. initially, i didnt know the fact that there will be any RE in CG!. i was so happy and shouting my heart out till my dad eat his heart out *whatta....*. i watched its trailer and found it really awesome. i will certainly wait for this one and wont miss it for anything else. unlike, previous movies, this one is presented in CG. i know it will be one of the greatest movie ive ever watched...certainly. but i guess i have to wait. whatever it is...i just cant miss it....i will not, hopefully. o God pls help me.....i am eaten alive...hehe

superficial

today was chaotic. finally, i watched the second installment of national treasure (my sist' s favourite movie). we initally looked for i'm legend, instead we went for national treasure coz the tickets were sold out. for breakfast i had nothing but milk, oranges, and some snacks. so when we were at the cinema i had cramps but it got much more worst when i had my sour dinner and the fact that my stomach was incapable of working properly made me angrier to myself. luckily we got home asap so i could get my stomach fixed (imagine bicentennial man hoho).



on the way home, both my sister and my mom nagged at me. well not that bad..both of them had different opinions regarding my health issues. my mom blamed the oranges i had this morning (she even threw 'em away), but for my sister she blamed me for not listening to her (well the fact that she always blamed me doesn't really bother me anymore hoho). well at least i'm doing much much better now and i'm very happy to be back online after such turbulance today. (my stomach is jumping once moore)



everyone knows i'm a biggie fan of eisley, i think i'll never get bored with them unless they make a scene like foolish-britbrit. last year, nfg was definitely the band that i checked on most of the time but since end of 07 i've been eisleyian for sure.

note: a friend of mine is also a friend to my old friend. never knew that one day we'd stumble upon each other once again. if i am?

bbuy. eisleyian. for you from me.

better than hiding, better than crying, better than cursing.

better than anything (got any clue?)

can you tell me, i'm finally home

brand new feelings appear

feeling alive for the first time (don't fade)

hope, words aren't just words

hope, beyond words

hope, forgive my insecurities

eisleyian.

Suddenly new year has come. so soon, feels like i'm still in the 07. yeah no difference than last year (God, i'm such a boring person). but i love being normal, my life isn't that glamorous he-he.

have a happy nuw year people.

hopefully 2008 will bring me less-complicated decisions, and of course as what i've been praying everyday (God knows which), eternal happiness..come to ME! X)

thank you ben & jerry for making napoleon dynamite..!

Eisleyian. lovlovlov

stand.

Dear God,
Only You who will truly love me
Only You who will save me
Please stay with me
Make me belong to You

Dear God,
Only You who knows which is best
Only You who knows which is wrong
Please bear with me
There's no place feels like home

Dear God,
I asked myself once
How could someone loves God
More than loving other half?
But now You've opened my melted heart

Dear God,
Guide me through this journey of mine
Let me walk Your permissioned path
No more sadness
More blessings and happiness

Dear God,
Many things have happened
I shall not put the blame on You
Coz everything is chain reaction
And i have sinned so much

Dear God,
I don't deserve your kindness
Yet i can't face the world without Your blessings
Forgive my sins
Hope is all i have
Even when i'm not sure if hope's still here

Reminiscing sometimes ripping out the old wound.
if only forgetting is as easy as falling.

Eisleyian.

Year-end

Before the year ends once more, i'd like to say how thankful i'm to have gone through another year, another journey, and suddenly another page is flipping by. hopefully my next wil be full of blessings, smile, love, grattitudes, good deeds, dreams and glorious days.

i have gone through so many beautiful things, so many million tears, and many letdowns. but also, the warm feelings inside of me makes me feel even more alive. God, family, and my loved ones are the essentials in my life.

maybe few years back, i'd never know that i'd go through many stories with many question marks. but i have lived through it, and i'm proud to say i have gone through more than you could imagine in one life.

it's a blessing after all, no matter if it's bad pulicities or half smile. i'm grateful for all the blessings, supports, love, care, and lovely wishes. even if there's noone out there who'd care about me but with God and my loved ones i know i'll be ok.

so thank you thank you thank you God, my family and loved ones who had been there to love care and support me. hopefully next year will be even better, more and more creative ideas..more and more smile X).

not for even once walking away..

Eisleyian.

c/roach kills.

a story that hapened right before 2008, no plans and still new year is uncool, i'm getting older hopefully i'll get wiser and better too. coz no use of geting older but still acting immature (though i still do sometimes). no more pain, more happy tears!! here i coooome..

i woke up, and found a dead c/roach lying on the floor next to my beloved mattress. i totally freaked out (i mean FLIPPING OUT), ok if you think that i'm such a sis. it's not like that, c/roach will trigger my body alarm and start to signal rashes. the c/roach was lying (almost peacefully) next to my cell-phone cover, my beloved hairclip, and my lovely hairband.

suddenly everything went chaotic, my sister tried to console me, my dad shooed (picked it up and put it away), and i was totally shocked. what happened on the night before? why didn't i know that c/roach was inside the room? luckily it was dead, if it was crawling on me i'd be very panicked. if i think back now, i think it was really funny..everyone knew i wasn't allowed to go near c/roach or i'd turn into some ruthless monster but ful of tears.

but i survived the creepy-crawlie moment X), i didn't realize i had something against c/roach until few years back. i stepped on c/roach while i was on the back of my house barefooted and it was really dark so i didn't know the creepy-crawlie was heading my way. so i stepped on it, got panicked, called everyone in my house (yelling to be exact), and cleaned up myself.

but even after i cleaned up myself, i still felt something went totally wrong with my skin. i had rashes, well i didnt expect that i had something against c/roach (as i've mentioned before). and months later i discovered that c/roach was a deadly weapon, i thought it was quite funny coz my sister has hated c/roach since forever. so having her with me is like having a cop that'll secure my way free from c/roach.

Eisleyian. happy nu year everyone! have a blast..

i read a good article about becks being awarded as LA sports of the year. there is part which an american sportwriter was being asked by an english journalist how the americans react on becks arrival. and the LA man asked him back. his response was not a surprise to me as most of the brits are cynical about becks and his ideas. dig in everybody...i mean enjoy the article....

Beckham is Daily News' Sports Person of the
Year for 2007
By Kevin Modesti, Los Angeles Newspaper Group Sports Editor

A few weeks before David Beckham joined the Galaxy, a British TV crew came to Los Angeles to get the lay of the soccer star's new land. The Sky News men interviewed an L.A. sportswriter and asked about Americans' impressions. Then the L.A. guy turned the question around.

The writer wondered: Amid cynicism in England about Beckham, did anyone there see elements of heroism in his trans-Atlantic move, anyone respect the audacity to so grandly risk his reputation by giving the globe a free kick?

The bloke with the microphone thought for a microsecond and said with a laugh: "No."

Today this newspaper names Galaxy midfielder David Beckham the Los Angeles Sports Person of the Year for 2007. It's not because he enjoyed a great rookie season in MLS, made the Galaxy a champion, bent U.S. eyes to the original football, beat back global cynicism and earned acclaim as a hero - in fact, he succeeded in doing precisely none of those things.

It's because of his think-big spirit, the way he widened our view of sports, the commitment with which he took on both naysayers and unreasonable expectations.

Our award, which debuted in 2005, is patterned after the Time Magazine Person of the Year Award. As we said the past two years: Time's award might be a big deal to those whose interests in life focus narrowly on such trifles as politics, economics, science, technology, religion and the arts. But we need something for the renaissance men and women whose curiosity extends to every corner of the wide and wonderful world of Southern California sports.

So here's a prize for the newsmakers of the local sports scene, recognizing a player, coach, executive - anybody - whose impact has been uniquely positive (or negative).

In 2005, the joint winners were USC football's Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart, college kids who showed the pros how to put ego aside for the good of a team. In '06, the winner was Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti, for his leading role in turning the franchise from a laughingstock into the Baseball America Organization of the Year. As Bush's, Leinart's and Colletti's subsequent highs and lows demonstrate, the L.A. Sports Person of the Year Award is no guarantee of wild success in the future.

Surveying colleagues, we were reminded of several worthy - or notably unworthy - newsmakers this year: The Lakers' Kobe Bryant asserted his importance again and again by alternately spitting on and embracing his team; the Anaheim Ducks won the region's first Stanley Cup; the UCLA basketball team went to the Final Four again; track star Marion Jones, a SoCal native, was forced to give back the five Olympic medals she won as a drug cheater.

None of what they did and said set this sports year apart quite like the arrival in the world's celebrity capital of the 32-year-old often called the world's most famous athlete.

Even as his - and wife Victoria's - adventure was kicked aside in some corners as a cold money grab, a ploy to publicize the Beckham brand and set up the couple in Hollywood, his Galaxy introduction in Carson drew hundreds of journalists and live television coverage and his game appearances drew record crowds.

Sports fans across the Pond found themselves paying attention to the L.A. Bloody Galaxy. Sports fans here found themselves assessing the performance of a midfielder at Real Madrid.
Trouble is, he didn't appear enough, arriving injured and never really healing. But when Beckham played, he played well and - more important - played hard.

Beckham always has been a player with sensational vision, not least in his vision of his place in history. At an age when his European league and England-international career might have been winding down, he reinvented himself as the man who might lead America to soccer once and for all.

It'll take a lot more Beckhams and a lot more years to raise the quality of MLS soccer to a level that deserves the full attention of a nation accustomed to watching the best of every sport. For starters, No. 23 is doing what he can in the modern mode, selling America his jersey and his personality; with any luck he'll never figure out that the best way to get attention in this town is to demand to be traded.

The results aren't there yet. Beckham was able to play in only five MLS games. The Galaxy finished 11th in the 13-team league. With four more seasons on his contract, the best is yet to come, or else.

But his first season has demonstrated that if Beckham fails in his bid to conquer America, it won't be for lack of effort or ambition. The worst thing you could say about this first year of Becks was that we didn't see enough of him.

How many sports superstars can we say that about? Only the L.A. Sports Person of the Year.

arsenal won their last match in 2007 by defeating everton at goodison park. 1-4 was indeed a splendid scoreline. after having tough time at emirates stadium they finally came through and won. it was a delicate match i assumed (i couldnt catch it live) and plenty of dangerous tackles. it was difficult for us to swallow a bitter draw against pompey and we avoid reading sports newspaper for a week after man utd rocketing to top spot although it only lasted for a week *sigh* thank God. it'd be a very complicated season as top leaders (arsenal and man utd) are unable to keep their good rythm going even if they had a chance. hopefully, arsenal will stay on top and be the premier league champions. cant wait to see their latest performance.....a win is a must.....

my sist has posted an article stating wenger's admiration on how good becks had managed himself as a football player when he had been cast away in a deserted island not a long ago; however, he made himself noticed when he showed professionalism and dedication to his team. both managers, ste-c and fabio capello, had to make an embarassing u turn to reinstate becks back to their squad. and his come back proved to be in a perfect moment as he had helped real madrid to claim their 30th la liga title. england supposed to have booked their tickets to EURO 08 and all they needed was only a draw; however they weren't good enough and knocked out by minnows, croatia. anyway, back to our topic. i noticed that wenger has always admired becks in some ways, and he is deservedly to be a hero once a while. unfortunately, becks can never join arsenal as he is a former man utd player and is still a big fan of the club. it would be unfair for the fans and himself. becks would have considered to work under mr wenger if he had been working in a different club. we would love to see becks playing for arsenal, as we both fans of the team. however, seeing him practising in arsenal's facilities is good enough for us although it'd only be until january 31st. at least, he can dig in some good knowledge from the professor. we wish him good luck...

Beef-ing before sleep

i've been away from posting new posts for a while now, i only posted few posts and that's total unfair looking back at my posts earlier that stated i'm a blog-addict. well i still do, i love this blog but my head is currently processing less ideas. i love blogging as much as i love watching soccer, as i've said it's my brain that's been hijacked coz my ideas seem dissapeared.



my parents are telling the rest of the family (which is me ignoring them coz i'm blogging, and my sister who's currently munching more carbs late at night X) ) about the joke and the funny stories about our childhood (embarassing). a lot like love huh, yeah we're lucky to have them as our beloved parents. my sister's nose is out of place coz we just had a head-wrestling (hiperhiperhiper!)



enough about the tid-bits, the year's ending any plans? well it's out of my family habit to celebrate each new year, we'd stay up late just wtach the fireworks or watch good performances on tv. maybe we'll have a plan this year but i don't think so..who knows nothng is impossible. we're the average famiy that some of you might find us very boring, but i like it this way. we're the most laid back people.

ok now it's time for sleep..

My Super-dadda

My dad's a superhero,
And he likes to annoy me too.
He likes to call my name super times just to get on my nerve..
Afterall he's the super dad that's mine.
Mine and only mine



love ya dad



Don't you dare to bring him down
Coz not only he's as strong and wise just like an old tree
He also he's got his family that always support and trust him
And he also has the faith that'll bring yourself down
My dad is a a super dad



heart ya dad

my dad's tuper thweet
my dad's amazing
my dad's a bless
my dad's the balloon that'll cheer my day
His hands were the first who held mine

No matter what,
The ups and downs
Of my relationship with him
He'll always be the bossy dad
And i'm the chipper-daughter

For you
From me
From the bottom of my heart
From the naughty kiddo
For my one and only dadda

Thank you's never enough
I say a little prayer for you
Every second
Every new pages

whatever their positions in life, my parents will always be the ones who'll spend some of their precious time just to listen to my childish fears. love your parents as they have brought you up and spent fortunes just to buy what you wanted and millions of second just to wipe away your tears. my parents are not flawless (no such thing is flawless), they're also human beings but they love me gazillion times more than other people. by being close and care to them i never feel lonely or incomplete thus they've teached me to rely and trust more to the family than outsiders. i love you both to death!

Eisleyian hearts good hearted people.

New Soul (Yael Naim)

I'm a new soul
I can do this strange world hoping
I could learn a bit about how to give and take.
But since I came here felt the joy
And the fear finding myself making every possible mistake

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

I'm a young soul in this very strange world hoping
I could learn a bit about what is true and faith.
But why don't please trying to comunnicate
Finding just in love is not always easy to make.

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

This is a happy end cause' you don't understand
Everything you have done wise
Everything so wrong

This is a happy end come
And give me your hand
I'll take your far away.

[Refrain]:
I'm a new soul
I can do this strange world hoping
I could learn a bit about how to give
And take but since
I came here felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

Exceling Through Amazing Becks

Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal's youngsters can learn from David Beckham when the former England captain trains at London Colney in January.

Beckham will use Arsenal's facilities to stay fit ahead of England's international friendly against Switzerland in February. Wenger expects the arrangement to be mutually beneficial.

"He will come in January to practise with us, occasionally with the first team or the reserves," said Wenger. "He can always give good advice and we will help him to keep fit. The youngsters will look up to him, of course.

"I admire how strong Beckham has been mentally through his career because he went through some tough times. I respect the fact that he has always loved football and he has always shown respect for his managers even when he was dropped. He didn't come out in a silly way, a spoilt way.

"Also, he has always delivered when it was expected of him, he has shown toughness. When he had to score the free-kick in the last minute against Greece [in the crucial World Cup qualifier in October 2001] he put it in the net. It is a sign of mental strength."

So does Wenger expect Beckham to teach Arsenal's young players how to excel from free kicks? Perhaps not. "I think it will be a tough competition for Beckham!" laughed Wenger.

our thoughts are to benazir bhutto's family who are probably still shaken with her death yesterday evening. it is unfortunate that her death came after so many response from paskitanis about reformation in paskitan military controlled govt. people want changes and benazir bhutto was a potential candidate to replace current president pervez musharaff. how unfortunate this should have happened in a very perfect moment. she was a leader and most of all, a woman. a mother to her beloved children....whoever done this must be held responsible. one might have escaped human law; however nothing can escape God's punishement. our prayer goes to her and family...

i dont have so much to tell today apart from juicy news from football point of view. i wonder wheres britney spears when we need her? i bet shes in the attacking mode for this festive season. shes currently mapping her next move to outdo other celebs...wondering what did she give to her younger sister? diapers? certainly not. oooo i know...shaver for sure. anyway back to football news. manuel almunia has been tipped to be the next england goalkeeper although nobody can ascertain the news since fabio capello has yet to come back fom his holiday. capello is expected to be officially in charge on january 7th 2008. heaven knows whats on his mind. england is currently seeking a reliable goalkeeper who can actually fencing the goal post with a pair of magic hands. each of the goalkeeper has proven that a mishap is nothing but an unfortunate incident and could actually be passed down to the next candidate. for example, blunders from calamity james few years ago still printed on my mind. and then his replacement robert green miskick a pass that led to an own goal to his account. he wasnt put his foot in proper position that could have possibly led to his injury. unfortunately for england, another replacement doesnt mean a solution. after a fine display for several matches, paul robinson starting to show doubtful performances. his foolish errors resulting in england loss to croatia few months back. during match against germany, he was again making a huge mistake by tapping a shot from a german player (i forgot his name) in the direction of another german player. his inconsistencies led to another replacement. his name is scott carson and the result was finally shown. england are yet again, lost to croatia. a draw was needed to get england qualify to EURO 08 next summer. a shot that supposed to be an easy one for carson was no doubt would have be remembered as nightmare for england in many years to come. almunia could be the answer england have been waiting for. his recent performance with arsenal clearly showing hes ready for a call up. he stated that spain would never call him up for competitive matches and waiting on the sideline isnt possible as well. with stunning performances by two leading spanish goalkeeper iker casillas and pepe reyna, almunia chances to be spanish goalkeeper are indeed very slim. perhaps, capello would consider him as a substitute in case other goalkeepers go wrong. i'd love to see him under the post instead of having paulie or calamity or even carsie defending the last defensive line. however, his appointment will enrage some people who were disagree with FAs move to appoint capello as the new manager. the recent nationalism propaganda has spread among the fanatics. if let say capello failed to win his first match, he'd be under massive pressure and those fanatics would again pressuring FA to appoint another english manager. yeah like hell...if those ppl wanna see an english coaching england squad they'd have to see another failure like ste-c did last time out. wake up people!!! youre not good enough to train your own squad. why dont you all sit back and learn.

ive always been a fan of this player. ever since he played a minor part in community shield three or four years ago, he already caught my attention. before he played in the community shield however, he used to replaced patrick vieira in the final three minutes or so. well, no one knows for sure what future holds. after vieira had left no other players could have replaced him other francesc fabregas. hes fast and accurate. however, he wasnt a player like he is today. he lost possesions every now and then and they were costly too. but after 2 seasons playing as a regular, hes slowly showing to us all what kind of player he is. this season, hes already collected 11 goals much to relief of arsene wenger. i remember well a match between juventus and arsenal 2 seasons ago. cesc was clearly a better player than his senior patrick vieira. he even scored a goal during the match that saw arsenal came as a winning team. he may be only 19 yrs of age but hes already played like seniors in premier league. last season he was able to play without injuries, unlike what hes trying to conquer this mid season. his injuries came with the most unexpected moment when arsenal desperately trying to hold on to their top spot. fortunately they were able to gain the momentum and brushed past through derby match against totenham last week. it is unclear whether arsenal will be the premier league champions this season considering man utd strong performance and chelsea resistance in every games they play. im hoping to see william gallas lift the cup and be one of the most successful captain in arsenal history. hopeful...

Cesc: Henry Exit Allowed Everyone To Shine

Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas is keen to have silverware to show for the superb season The Gunners are enjoying. He also spoke about how the players have all grown after Thierry Henry's departure.

The way the Gunners have taken the season by the scruff off the neck has caught many off guard. However, he is aware that only silverware can truly silence doubters.

"The team is hungry and wants to achieve something to prove people wrong," Fabregas said.
"We want to achieve a lot of things over the next 12 months.

"If we could win everything that would be perfect - but the Premier League is the competition it would be amazing to win."

The Spaniard has already scored 11 times this season, a sharp improvement from the four he scored last season.

Other players such as Alexander Hleb, Emmanuel Adebayor and Tomas Rosicky have all come good this season, and the midfielder believes it has something to do with Thierry Henry's exit.

"I have more responsibility than before," he said. "When you looked at Arsenal a year or two years ago you just saw Thierry Henry.

"It was a little bit like the other players did not exist.

"But when he left it was an opportunity for everybody to show we are a team and a good club.

"Even if the best player in the world is leaving us we can still achieve something."

Beckham: Capello Will Be Great For England

David Beckham has spoken of his delight at Fabio Capello's appointment as manager of England, and hopes to work under the Italian again.

Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder David Beckham has stressed how much he is looking forward to the prospect of playing under Fabio Capello once more.

The Italian was appointed manager of England last week, and Beckham already knows him well from his time at Real Madrid.

"Fabio is one of the managers players look up to and want to manage them. I hope I'll be part of his plans," said Beckham to BBC Radio 2 during an interview that will be broadcast on Christmas Day.

"I think he is going to be great for the players and the England team."

Belief And Respect

It is widely - but wrongly - thought that Capello cast Beckham into the Madrid wilderness last season, but as the Englishman explained, the mutual respect and belief always remained.

"There were ups and downs with me and the manager at the time but he brought me back into the team and he had the belief in me to put me back in the team," said the former Manchester United man.

Real Madrid went on to win the Spanish league, but Beckham admitted he was disappointed to see Capello turfed out of the Bernabeu. "It gave me an amazing end and I was sad when he got the sack as I believe he had turned the club and the players around and given the fans what they deserved, a trophy.

Terrific Leader

"I think he is a great appointment for England," Beckham continued. "Everyone wants someone leading you that has respect and success. He has definitely got that in his career." Beckham is hoping to win his 100th cap for his country when England take on Switzerland at Wembley in February.
