Avril - I Can Do Better
Satu lirik lagu yang baru gw perhatiin kemaren ini, dan bener2 empowering, did not notice it before. Nice Av, finally something in your song i can relate to:
Couldn’t give a damn what you say to me
I don’t really care what you think of me
Cause either way you’re gonna think what you believe
There’s nothing you could say that would hurt me
true true.
My newfound motto *cough, geek, cough*
Chat log with god (whatever you call the deity, entity, asdf)
Save dulu di blog, blom sempet diresapin. keliatannya mengandung banyak wisdom. Not too cheesy, pretty insightful. Sekalian sharing2 lah.
God: Hello. Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No.. Who is this?
God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.
Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.
God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Me: Don’t know. But I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic. It’s rush hour all the time.
God: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results.
Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Me: I understand. But I still can’t figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
God: Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?
God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That’s why you are not happy.
Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.
God: Pain is inevitable able, but suffering is optional.
Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God: Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God: Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can’t we be free from problems?
God: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading..
God: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God: Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you road ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Me: What surprises you about people?
God: When they suffer they ask, “why me?” When they prosper, they never ask “Why me”. Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can’t get the answer.
God: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not merely a process of discovery but a process of co-creation. You are my co-creator.
Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.
Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.
Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.
God: Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don’t believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!

Two bytes are sitting in a bar.
One says: “I’m not feeling so well. I think I might have a parity error.”
“Yeah,” says the other, “I thought you looked a bit off.”

Andrey Arshavin
Andrey Arshavin was born on 29 May 1981 in Leningrad.
Career
He started playing football at the age of 7. Andrey is a Smena football school graduate (coaches V. Vinogradov and S. Gordeev).
In 1999-2000 Andrey played for FC Zenit reserve team. He made his debut for the first squad in the Intertoto Cup away game against Bradford, which FC Zenit won 3:0. In his first game in the starting eleven Andrey justified the hopes of the head coach of that time Yuiy Morozov.
Andrey started as a right midfielder, his duet with Aleksandr Kerzhakov became well known in Russian Championship, especially in seasons 2001, 2003 as FC Zenit won medals.
He says that his hobby is creating goals for the team and it doesn’t matter whether he scores himself or assists someone.
It was Petrjela who decided that Arshavin should play at the edge of the attack in the middle of 2003, and Andrey scored two goals in his debut match as a forward against FC Uralan. This new role seemed to inspire Andrey and up to now Arshavin managed to score 58 goals (he celebrated his first goal in the match against Fakel (Voronezh) and his 50th goal in the home match against Luch-Energia).
Moreover, his goals in the very end of the UEFA Cup away game against FC AEK and FC Olympique de Marseille gave FC Zenit one of the most exciting events in the Club’s history – UEFA Cup quarter-finals.
Capped for the Russian youth team, where his partner was Aleksandr Anukov, who is also in the first squad now, Andrey made his debut in the national squad in May 2002 against Belarus.
Having scored 9 goals for the international team, Andrey set up a new club record of goals for the national team. Besides, he became FC Zenit best striker in Russian championships 2005, 2006.
Every year Andrey is on top of the 33-best Russian footballers list: he became number 1 in 2005 and 2006, and number 2 in 2001, 2002, 2004.
2005 Andrey became the first football player in Russia to be elected FIFA-Kinderdorf Ambassador.

Semifinal Spanyol vs Rusia - Euro 2008
Hikssssssss rusia ku dibantai (lagi) oleh spanyol. Dari pertandingan yang diakhiri dengan skor 3-0 untuk Spanyol tsb, gw menyimpulkan Rusia hanya beruntung berhasil membantai Belanda 3-1. Menurut gw kemenangan spektakuler Rusia atas Belanda disebabkan beberapa faktor:
- Guus Hiddink sangat memahami karakter permainan Belanda / Marco Van Basten sehingga dapat menerapkan strategi yang efektif.
- Belanda sombong dan menganggap remeh Rusia.
- Belum ada yang anticipate seorang Arshavin. Beda dengan pertandingan semifinal kemarin antara spanyol vs rusia dimana spanyol telah mengalokasikan bbrp pemain belakangnya khusus untuk menjaga aa’ arshavin ku (yg mirip josh hartnett, wkwk..).
- Rusia terlalu napsu ‘balas dendam’, jadi cape sendiri ngeladenin tempo di babak kedua.
Ketiga gol spanyol terjadi di babak kedua. Gol pertama oleh Xavi, kedua oleh Guiza dan ketiga oleh David Silva. Cesc sepertinya meng-assist dua dari tiga gol tsb. Di babak kedua spanyol terlihat meningkatkan intensitas serangan. Banyak sekali kesempatan gol yang terjadi di depan gawang Rusia. Serupa dengan kekalahan rusia dari spanyol pada babak penyisihan grup dengan skor 4-1, kemenangan spanyol kemarin juga terpaut tiga gol. hmm.. beda levelnya memang segitu ya hahaha….
Catatan kecil:
- Torres kasian bgt, di-tackle abis2an dari awal pertandingan, wkwkw….. Masih underperformed sih. A bit clumsy2 gitu gerakannya.
- David Villa keseleo sendiri pas mengeksekusi free kick utk spanyol. entah bisa turun gak ntar pas final lawan jerman.
- Iker Casillas is good, really good. Meskipun pertandingan kemaren dia hampir santai2 aja, karena serangan rusia hampir gak mampu menembus Puyol dkk (whom i think looks like My Chemical Romance’s lead guitarist, Ray Toro, lol).
- Guus hiddink adalah pelatih spesialis semifinal. Wakakakakkak….. Korea, aussie, now russia? :p
- Hujan deras yang mengguyur hampir sepanjang pertandingan menjadikannya makin menarik, hoho..
