is this a credible one?

i guess if Becks has said it, we shouldn’t be bother anymore. there’s a quote in the middle of the article that showing his intention to go back to Europe after finishing his season with LA Galaxy. what interests me is the fact, that he might consider moving on to an English club. he has always been committed to his words for not joining other English club apart from Man Utd. and so far, he has been true on his words. however, seeing a new development in Chelsea’s camp might just twitch him a little bit. Carlitos is a long time fan of him and during Becks 6 month loan spell, it was obvious that they both formed a good relationship. Abramovich has tried to take Becks away from Real Madrid few years ago, but to no avail. He might be able to do it this summer though. also, there’s an interest from another London club, Tottenham Hotspur coach has also been lately commenting on Becks arrival in the Heart Lane. he desires to acquire an experienced player into his squad. Becks might not have the pace but he shows a lot of consistency and professionalism throughout his career in football. i am not sure he’ll take their offers over Milan’s though. reason number one, would be Man Utd. and reason number two is consistency. he has always been man of his words and by backing away from his earlier promise seems harsh to me, personally. but the situation has changed a bit. now that Carlitos has changed side to Chelsea, Becks might be tempted to join his old boss to premier league. earlier Pato was also linked to the English side few hours after Carlitos agreed to coach Chelsea. but Milan would not give him up without a heavy price tag.

will he go or will he not? it’s up to him obviously but i guess i need to be more patient considering summer isn’t over yet.

becks great achievement

many negative comments have been splashing in newspaper headlines all over the world claiming that Becks is more a celeb than a football player.

oh my God! how long since i first wrote this entry? it must have been months ago. how on earth it has skipped from my sight?. i better make this right. i don’t know whether i should write something about this. perhaps i just leave it be.

one to go

England have more than enough points to qualify for WC 2010, however winning another match doesn’t hurt Capellos’ squad. in fact, if they win their next match, they are entitled to enter WC 2010 in South Africa next summer. i kind of forget which side will be the key match, but i am pretty confident for England to qualify especially after this morning match against Andorra. perhaps, England have yet to meet their ‘real’ opponent, therefore doubts are still hanging in the air whether or not England have improved. it is a common one to have seen them qualify but lost in the quarter finals. could this be a new era for England? i guess we’ll have to see about that. so many questions, very little answer

Ronaldo in full swing

even though the summer transfer window has just begun, some of rich clubs are ready to run in full throttle. Real Madrid have managed to scooped Kaka from his beloved AC Milan for a fee of 60mill and they will not stop there. rumors are currently buzzing that David Villa and Ronaldo might as well be added to Florentino’s list. it also means, a LOT of Real Madrid players will be off loaded this summer for knockdown price, excluding Raul and Casillas of course. a few years ago, Rio Ferdinand had cost Man Utd around 30mill and that fee had made people gone berserk; what do you think Ronaldo’s price would make your day?. 2 seasons ago, Ronaldo had made a request to be able to switch club, however Man Utd, headed by their coach Alex Ferguson, had pushed away the offer even before they knocked on his door. well, apparently Real Madrid have always been in Ronaldo’s mind and proved to tell, he is back in the market once more. after months of denying and claiming he was happy in Manchester, he finally gave in. 80mill is the price for his service and obviously, Real Madrid are up for the challenge. this is of course could not have been done without Ferguson’s permission to let him go. i believe, Ronaldo had scheduled a meeting with the boss and asked to be switched side this summer. there’s nothing Ferguson could do except to let his another Golden Boy leave his domain.

why would Ferguson let him go? Ronaldo is an asset for both the team and club. so, why has he finally agreed to Ronaldo’s choice?. that’s the correct word, choice. it is become Ronaldo’s dream to play with Real Madrid and not with Man Utd, therefore no man should stand his way. if a player would like to stay, a coach should pat him in the back and give him more support, but if he decides to go, a coach should never hold the player back. Real Madrid’s magical history has of course, tempted those boys to play for the side and i do not blame them whatsoever. but look at the big picture, if i were Ronaldo i would never trade my place to anyone else. yes indeed, he has won so many trophies with Man Utd, but he can get more if he’s willing to stay. for instance, he can win over fans’ heart by playing at his best and become their future captain. but instead, he chooses to jump ship and seek new challenge. but will he be ready to face harsh condition and poor performances by the team? i am not sure. Real Madrid domestic dominance has lately been taken over by their arch rivals, Barcelona which have also snatched champs league trophy from Man Utd. their European adventure has also been a little too quiet lately and conceding to many losses during quarter finals. so, what is he looking for actually? like Becks said “it is in every boy’s dream to play for Real Madrid”. perhaps, Ronaldo shares the same dream

a great score line

as predicted, David Beckham started as a CM alongside Lampard. with Barry gone, Becks snatched his place for the night and gave quite convincing play throughout the match. also as predicted, England plummeted Andorra with another mouth-watering score line. at times, i was given an assumption that Andorra were not playing football. i am in no mood to give it a very long review, so i just write in brief of what actually happened. since, the beginning of the first half, England looked threatening and nearly scored the first goal in some minutes. efforts were finally materialized in the 4th minute with Wayne Rooney leading the pack. first half was called upon and England already made 3 goals which scored by Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard; Rooney got the double while Lamps slotted in Walcott’s pass from the right. another 3 goals were made with a brace for Defoe and Crouch to sum up the match.

generally, David Beckham has done his job better than he used to do for Real Madrid back in the day. moreover, the side need an experienced player to add some spices on the field. he played for full 90 minutes and not once he showed intentions to slow down. his pace was good as well as his deliveries. there were many of his long passes broke away defense line of Andorra and clearly gave advantage for wingers to keep their width in check. too bad commentators were too busy ‘missing’ Ste-G and Rooney as though players on the field were just bunch of clowns whom need to be hospitalized as soon as possible. though these 2 players were substituted in the second half, their replacements provide some entertaining move as well. mind you, that these two have not involved in the team since many months ago, therefore last night was not a bad performance guys. a job well done i guess.

can they do it?

although it is known that Andorra are not one of the best European teams, they could threaten England 100% record. England need full points in order to make WC 2010 dream a reality. with 18 points in pockets, they are surely in full throttle mood. with Gareth Barry suspended, there’s a gap in midfield which need to be filled. and if rumors out there are correct, David Beckham may just have the chance to show his skills one more time. with RM is already booked for Theo Walcott, there’s only one hole for Becks to fill in which is a central midfield role. although he had had the role few years ago back with Real Madrid, there’s a lingering doubt his involvement in the center. there’s always a possibility that Walcott would be deployed to the left and Becks hovering in the right while Stew-G and Lampard patrolling in the center. i am not sure though, but i can only hope he will start. it’s been a while since he played his first minute for the Three Lions and hopefully, on Thursday we can see changes. last match against Kazakhstan we saw Capello playing Becks out of his position as RB. instead of bringing another RB, he decided to field in a midfielder. what was on Capello’s mind? probably a victory. i am for sure going to watch this game since there won’t be any matches involving Becks until August.

Interview of Becks

it’s been ages since i watched Becks interview on YouTube. anyway i came across it from one of his fan site and honestly, i was glad i decided to read it once a while. he mainly talked about that night victory against Kazakhstan and his possible inclusion into the squad after Barry’s suspension. he might start at Wembley or he might be just a sub; we don’t know just yet but my guts telling me that he will not replace Barry or anyone who gets the axed. though Walcott looked rusty the other day, Capello seemed reluctant to replace him at the moment, so we’ll see.

uncertainties

when David Beckham made a verbal contract to Milan few weeks ago to rejoin the team in January 2010, it had been a different management and coaching staff. Carlitos had been the coach but it was a different man this time. Leonardo has been appointed to coach AC Milan for the next season and beyond (no one knows exactly when his contract ‘truly’ expires). whether or not he will be interested to sign a 34 year old player still pose a big question mark. Leonardo wants to rebuild Rossoneri from scratch and i am not sure he intends to sign an aging player in which for some people, is too old to play football. unlike other people, i honestly oppose those words of aging player and sagging here and there. but i am now looking at the big picture. whilst, Leonardo has known Becks since his arrival last year, it is completely unknown what kind of tactical development he will use during his term.

the Italian League will commence this August and by then, some of injured midfield players have probably regained their fitness and ready to replace Becks position. Gattuso and Flamini are clearly posing threats to Becks existence in Milan’s squad. although both players playing the exact position, they are completely different in style of play. Ambrossini will unlikely be reassign after months of uncertainty. if Milan would want to be at the same league as other elite clubs, they need to reinforce their back four. with Maldini gone and both Kaladze and Nesta starting to look rusty, Leonardo must take his priorities. indeed they do have Senderos in stock, but he can’t be forever injury free and his other fellow defenders do not posses a true leadership at the back. apart from the back four, Leonardo might need to equip another attacking midfielder who can win the ball as well as posing threats to opponent’s defense line. someone like Steven Gerrard will be good, but i am not talking about buying him out from Liverpool, you guys.  if Milan decide to sell Kaka to the highest bidder, Leonardo can have plenty of cash to splash this summer. Ronaldinho and Pato are not enough to terrorize enemy’s line, thus someone who has determination and brain needs to be acquired. Carlos Tevez could be an alternative, in case Samuel Eto’o reluctant to go anywhere else. if Eto’o is out, another unlikely candidate should be considered as well. hey, if we have cash any club would be tempted. i was talking about Podolski. he is young, talented and clearly has brain. his pace and determination will faze his opponent’s backline.

David Beckham contract with LA Galaxy expires this November and if he wants to quit MLS, he can do so by buying out his remaining contract and fly back to Europe. however, after Carlitos exit, Becks may have just lost his last hope. with WC 2010 looming overhead, Becks is desperate to look elsewhere. it is obvious that Capello will unlikely consider him in the squad unless Becks is playing with a European club and AC Milan are the most preferable choice among others. could he still be on his way to Milan after Carlitos resignation? i am not sure. once Leonardo opens up his thought, i will no longer have doubts.

2 qualifying matches

less than 12 hours from now, England will face its  1st opponent of the week which will determine England true colors. after tormenting weeks of leagues, most players must be feeling the pain. Chelsea players are the most likely affected by this schedule considering their last match had only finished a week before the showdown. Aaron Lennon, Emile Heskey, Joe Cole and possibly Rio Ferdinand will miss out the first game but everything can be different once the national team Doctors confirm their health status this afternoon. next stop will be Andorra and no one, including players, should ever belittle them. collecting 3 points are crucial for both players and the coach. it is simply because slipping into 2nd spot wouldn’t be a good idea. they need to learn from past mistakes.

when Ste-C took over from Sven Eriksson, England had been nothing but bunch of clowns. unable to retain their 1st spot, and slowly slipping into 3rd position had made FA realized that a credible coach need to be appointed as soon as possible. and now, under the reign of Fabio Capello, England are in the right track. but the last encounter with European champions, Spain, Capello were unable to work his magic and made England losers among champions. that’s why he needs all his best players to be there on the field and claim their 3 points.

it is unclear, however David Beckham will play any part in this match, especially when both SWP and Theo Walcott are fully fit to face Kazakhstan and Andorra. his natural position will be in the right wing in which SWP and Walcott are familiar with. i really do hope Becks can play and wish him well. i have not seen him play since his last match with AC Milan and the fact that he will go back to LA Galaxy makes my heart break even more. none of sports channel in my country broadcast Galaxy’s matches live on TV. it is also unlikely that he will move on and join Chelsea this summer after his 6 month coach, Carlo Ancelotti joined the club few days ago. Becks will never join other premier club except his old club, Man Utd.

loss to Roma, glory for Arsenal

apparently my decision to get some rest last night was the correct one. Milan visited AS Roma last night and ended their campaign in a very tragic way. they lost to the home side with 3-2 score line. a very sad good bye to Maldini indeed. and as for Becks, he was replaced by Clarence Seedorf in the second half which also means he ended his last day as a Rossoneri with his head down. still qualify for champs league though, thanks for the new policy implemented by Michel Platini. 3 top teams will automatically qualify for next season champs league while the 4th place have to win qualifying matches. anyway, Becks needs to go back to LA Galaxy and bear with fans tantrums for the season and of course, help them win trophies. it is so sad to see him leaving AC Milan without a single glory carved on his chest, but he’s done his best. i had a pretty tiring day yesterday and decided to go to bed earlier than i usually do, and in fact, avoiding the match was a very wise one. looks like i don’t have to watch his rerun today.

i made the headline as if Arsenal were facing their champs league opponent once again. actually, it was a bittersweet news for me. Arsenal managed to wrapped up their last game with a victory over Stoke City assembling a 4-1 score line. apparently, RVP scored brace for the Gunners and helped Arsenal tighten up their grip on the 4th spot leaving Aston Villa qualify for UEFA Cup next season. it is a good news for us to  have Wenger finally got around his head in the final day. but it was Stoke City we were facing off. it was nice to have the last game at home which offered Wenger a huge reception from the fans who have been his loyal supporter since the beginning. hopefully we will see some additional players to the team this summer, and so far we only heard Roque Santa Cruz in his list. but we can other developments this June.

Becks is a selfish man

when reading the title, i am pretty certain that most of you would raise both of your eyebrows asking a question or two to yourself, whether or not i am still sane. the answer is, i am in a stable health both physically and emotionally. unlike my previous posts which were more than endorsing whatever Becks was doing, today i would make a sharp turn than i had done in the past. i hope it can still posses some vibrant words; in a way i want it.

it has been 5 months since Becks loan move to AC Milan and he is currently regarded as an influential player both on and off the field. his move apparently, has improved Milan’s accomplishment from last season. in a way, he has put his work ethic more than other player in the squad and sent his team mates on a rise in overall performance. he may not score goals for Milan to win 2nd place from Juventus, but his hard work and professionalism earned more than just compliments. his team mates looked up to him and of course, the coach was more than happy to have him in the squad. however, prior to his arrival at San Siro, thunderstorms and heavy downpour rattled his marriage with Victoria. needles to say, Victoria wasn’t happy at all with Becks decision to leave his family behind while he spent his 3 months in Milan. it is understood that Becks has deep relationship with England camp and want more than just advisory role in England team, therefore he is up to Capello’s challenge to play once again in European team. abandoning his family and parent club back in LA, he set up a new adventure in Milan. thought to be a failure but proved to be a success has made his comeback to US postponed to further date, which would last until end of this season. of course, the decision was met with more heartache and pain to his family. he will not stay longer than he is supposed to, but the damage is already done. his decision although wise in some point, has flaws at the other end. he did not go to Milan to make money but to lose some, and in the end of the day  he lost so many good moments with his children by being away from home. he will be back to the States pretty soon and resume his duty as a player for less than a year. the question is, how would he cope with home fans agony?

it is unknown whether Arena, LA Galaxy’s coach, will ever include him in his squad list during his short stay. it is known however, that most of his fans despised Becks decision to go back to US after his comments on European leagues and clubs. their hatred of course rose up after the English man decided to end his contract with the Galaxy club earlier than he was supposed to. there was a clause saying that the player said, can buy out his remaining contract with the team involved after the player spent his 3 years term as Galaxy player. those words are not the exact copy of his contract, but we can all understand that they are in line with whatever written on newspapers. i can understand their grief and anxiety and won’t blame their harsh words over Becks performances. they had put up with so much hype 2 seasons ago and came home with nothing they could talk about for the rest of 2 seasons. failing to qualify for play off and lost out to their bitter rivals on league title must have hurt their soul very badly, thus no welcome home ceremony for Mr... $16 million man this summer.

what could he do to revive Galaxy’s prospect to win league title this season? no chance. he was a success in Man Utd and Real Madrid due many things, including world class team mates. who does LA Galaxy  have? no one in particular. if let’s say, Bruce Arena could snatch Messi and Fabregas from Barca and Arsenal respectively, LA Galaxy could just possibly the best team in US. but MLS does not posses such attraction to European players, therefore a possibility to land big names in football is very unlikely. Becks needs support and he needs it now. does Man Utd winning performances come from one player? well, possibly. but at times, Ronaldo was beyond helpful and at this moment his team mates would come in handy. their successful record at home would never be made without efforts by Ferdinand, Vidic and of course Van Der Sar. if the fans want to see some trophies, they would need to push more to buy world class players. could LA Galaxy do that? i doubt it. if option A is no longer available, perhaps Arena should capitalize Galaxy’s financial power to search for homegrown talent and start utilizing them. there’s always a way out, if we are willing to seek for it. thus, no more blaming game at the end of each season. one player can never turn around a dire situation without a help from others. please bear in mind that Ronaldo does not always the hero for Utd as other players would go hand in hand if things start to go bad.

dear Galaxy fans across the globe, please do not resort to whatever mean things you can think of for the sake of revenge. the only thing matter is title. players can come and go, but consistency need to be established, therefore no more disappointment in the future. David Beckham may have shortened his stay in LA, but you can still utilize his skill by implementing good tactical support. 

loss of confidence

when Andy Gray said “football doesn’t reward good football” i agreed with him fully. i have never quite agreed with him no matter what team he commented on, but yesterday, he said something that clearly stuck in my head. right from the first minute, Arsenal controlled the game and nearly scored a goal through Walcott’s effort. so much for our ‘beautiful’ football, but came to nothing. Fabianski was not at his best last night, and since when he has been reliable? not ever. what shocked me was a fact that Diaby commanded left midfield while Nasri took over Cesc’s duty as center midfield. they proved to be useless chicken running without purpose for the whole 90 minutes and created nothing but imbalance offense line. who would want to have a natural central player playing wide against his will? no one i assume.

it was unfortunate indeed for Arsenal to have their key players injured during very crucial moments. Tomas Rosicky, William Gallas and Eduardo are the most sought players right now and when they are going to be unavailable for the rest of the season, we can’t do anything but stay vigilant. instead of splashing cash last winter looking for reliable players, Wenger decided to stay put with his current squad members while luring Arshavin into his trap. i am not saying he isn’t a good addition to the team, but he alone will not get us anywhere. fans were anxious seeing Wenger’s transfer policy during critical moment and failed to capitalize his magnetic charisma to lure more creative players. yes, it is true that we do have plenty players in stock, but those players are likely to miss out the whole season and probably will not get back in time for opening season. let’s say that are back during pre-season matches, they might still need to prove their worth before stepping on to premier league once more. finishing 4th isn’t as bad as judgment day, but going to another play offs means a lot to the team itself. while other 3 clubs enjoying longer summer holiday, Arsenal need to spend their most of summer weeks doing some training to face qualifying rounds.

Wenger needs improvement very badly and we can’t wait any longer.

Man Utd crowned as premier league champions

as the weekend drew closer i was not as enthusiastic as weeks before. i knew it would be a tight one for Arsenal at Old Trafford. when Arsenal lost to Chelsea last week, i could have written 3 pages long of blog entry but i hated to do it and eagerly deleted the draft as soon as i could. humiliating defeat against Chelsea at home was enough to send most fans throwing spits at Wenger. initially, the fans could tolerate 4th spot despite strong performances in early season, however when Arsenal had been given the chance to snatch 3rd spot from Chelsea, we spoiled it badly. instead of leading in the first half, we conceded goals and most importantly, our pride.

the match began with so much pressure and Arsenal barely contain Man Utd’s edgy performance. with Ronaldo and Rooney joining Tevez in the attack. Arsenal had everything to worry with. unlike their usual display, both Toure and Song performed a good relationship at the back, especially in the 2nd half. coming out after a good break, Man Utd decided to hold their ground and let the last 45 minutes roll on without much hassle. should we have created more? i think we should and could. while Man Utd mostly enjoying their time at their half, Arsenal should have taken this opportunity to grab 3 points instead of hovering around at Man Utd territory without doing anything necessary. there were 2 things that went missing from Arsenal team and they were penetration and concentration. lack of leadership could also have taken a toll on Arsenal young guns. while Cesc is no doubt a phenomenal player, he is still need some guidance and Wenger has to find the answer on this. maybe we can buy someone like Xabi Alonso to better equip our fragile midfield. better luck next time Wenger. I do hope we can go through play offs next season and finally qualify for champs league group stage.

Milan did enough to stay in 2nd place

yikes! 0-2 for AC Milan and they were barely contained Catania’s resisted attacks in final minutes. i do not blame them though as the pitch was so slippery which made some of players lost their footings. anyway, Becks played his 70 minutes and helped his team with an assist. unlike his other assists, this time Becks nudged a header to Kaka’s direction and the Brazilian made sure it went to the net. the score line stayed that way until final whistle blown by the referee. Milan controlled the game throughout the evening but Catania stubborn defense made 2 goals were the only result for the day. overall, AC Milan did the best over the home side and claimed 3 points after nervous 90 minutes. Rossoneri could have had more goals but goal posts seemed defiant to let Ancelotti’s men advancing with more than 2 goals. it was enough though to buy Milan more space from 3rd placed Juventus who apparently, had only a point against Lecce. this would make the gap grows wider as the season closes to end. how would Inter react today? i am sure they will do their best to claim the Scudetto theirs one more time.

i am going to do my best to stay calm ahead of midweek match against Man Utd and stay positive despite negative result at the Old Trafford. what will come may come, in the end we can only pray for the best. it seems Man Utd are already set their sight for the Final in Rome. but nothing is confirmed before the match. They may have scored against us, but the margin is so low and we can still grab to level score line and make to the final. Wenger needs to build his boys’ confidence and let them roam with freedom. all i can say is that Nasri and Walcott need to find their form quickly before everything falls down, and it’s going to hurt them the most. the season is not yet ended and Aston Villa could snatch the slot before our eyes. so watch out guys!

Arsenal win against Pompey tighten their grip on the 4th spot

it was a delightful night for Arsenal fans around the world. the win against Portsmouth yesterday made 4th spot a feasible prospect for Arsenal. i must say, Carlos Vela impressed me a lot yesterday who apparently made only few appearances for the Gunners as starting line up. he has true potential as a world class striker someday. unfortunately for Arsenal, they do not possess a natural striker who can cause a lot of trouble with both of their feet. RVP and Carlos Vela are best example. however, Vela can be exempted from this since his maturity and experience in premier league is still limited. RVP needs to improve his skill on both of his feet if he wants to be a world class striker like some people claimed. he has a long way to go before reaching what Thierry Henry achieved few years ago.

Chelsea draw at Nou Camp while Arsenal are yet to seal their fate

like i said earlier, Chelsea would have the advantage playing at Nou Camp and the result proved me right. Solid defense and disciplined tactics made Chelsea the happiest of the two. 8 days from today, Barcelona would need to force their way to final by beating Chelsea at home which i would say, a little complicated than we thought.

among 4 clubs in semi final, Arsenal are the least favorite to win the title. having lost their best players to other clubs and hit by injuries earlier in the season made the Gunners slowing their pace down in title race. premier league is out of reach, and so does FA Cup. but we can still illuminate our dream by winning the Champions League this season. i know it is far off, but we can never say never. unlike other contestants, Arsenal performance in domestic league is far from satisfying, having lost their grip in the driving seat and let Aston Villa snatched away their 4th spot, making Wenger’s squad look like hobbits among gigantic figures. although we have secured the last spot for play off next season, we are far from the best and playing against Man Utd is never a play around. Man Utd are still the top favorites to win champs league along with Barcelona. what a match they had against Totenham Hotspur. away matches never dampen Man Utd spirits to win back the game. trailing by 2 goals in the first half, and then came back to throw away Totenham’s lead was an effort need to be applauded. this is what we must do on Thursday! why would St. Petersburg have had to qualify last season in champs league? now we must rest him due to cup tie. darn! we need him more than we need RVP. let’s hope Wenger senses work just fine for tomorrow’s game, if not we’ll be a laughing stock for the rest of our life.

Long long time

It may not be the last for today, but perhaps the last one from my device. It is such a pity for not having BIS every time I want, but I have to understand my own circumstance.

I am only human, neither fate nor future can be predicted by my own self. After so many things have happened in the past years, I am not sure myself about my own future. Having compensated with long-desired dream, I do feel uncertainties haunt my soul. Eventually the dream itself has evaporated into mist. The usual one year period had been wasted for something less than stupidity. It really takes a whole lot of time to rediscover the luckiness. I was lucky, but I took it for granted and now, I am a deserted princess in no man's land. Just like a tramp, wielding nothing but integrity, I am cast away from civilization. Thirst and hunger overcome senses in a way only mad man can bear. Praying and hoping to be part of sanity once more. People say, never too late for anything unless God forbids us to remain alive and healthy

What in the world?

Apparently, my visa application has been canceled due to some stupid reasons. I was the one who decided to cancel it coz it has taken up more time than necessary. The consular was curious why would we want to apply for a visa a month after our extension expires. And he also inquired, why do we have to visit our father every 3 months?. He asked the wrong question here. I am too pissed to say a word

R.A Kartini

She had been an inspiration for more than 100 years. Her masterpiece which consisted of writings, has been made headlines in our country's newspapers from many years ago. Her fight to get an equality from our traditional patriarch, has never dimmed even after her passing many years ago. She was the first woman to have asked, why would women come second after many men?. Every human being deserves to be educated, and that include women. Unfortunately, Kartini's birthday was yesterday but nothing significant happened. Most probably we are in the middle of 'it' again

Suicide

It is funny how things are crumbling right in front of me. How could I survive this horror? I may never know. Few moments ago, our application was delayed due to foolish reason for having previously- issued-visa extended to 3 months period. Why on earth would he need to ask that? Had we engaged in social or political activities prior to our visits? No, of course not. We have never had any intention to find a job in his country without first applying for the right papers. Come on man! We came to your ultra-nationalism country funded by our own father. We didn't ask you to pay for any of our expenses Sir, we simply want to visit our father whom we haven't seen for over 2 months. In particular, he asked our father to visit us instead of the other way around. In other words, he suggested that our dad should apply for day offs once a month; perhaps I need to bring this forward to our dad's company. They could accept a 25 year old foreigner foolish suggestion without much concern, by the way we are foreigners. Unfortunately, we aren't Americans
