Do We Deserve (only) It?

"These days there are far more pressures and interests in football, far more opportunities to change, so it's unlikely we'll see another Maldini who sticks around for 20 years. You can't compare those days with now." (Franco Baresi) Yea, writing on the blog is such a pleasure. A pleasure to make me relieve through any this week’s disappointment, many disappointments I’m sure. The best thing about it is, your blog is such your home. A home that makes you safe from everyone who attacks you. Attacks you by sarcasm, attacks you by...

This Is What It Is

“Be careful ya Cuni. Remember you have us, so you should take a really good care of yourself.” (You on Monday, 14 March 2011. 06:01:17 PM) If only I could pick the time, I would love to pick those times. The time when I met you, the time when we got laugh, the time when we faced the life together. They were the greatest 4 years though I even forgot how the details. I felt blessed for I was there with you to fight against your life. It was nice when we spent the whole night at the internet café when you talked about your past.

Orang yang baru datang dan semua apresiasi yang ada langsung...

The Passionate Alive Legend

“Playing and winning without sharing the emotion is nothing, but you and me, us, we did it all together.” (FIlippo Inzaghi, 2012) Apakah kalian pernah memiliki seseorang yang mampu membuat kalian tersenyum hanya dengan melihatnya menjalani sesuatu? Mungkin hal tersebut tidak sefantastis nobel-nobel perdamaian yang dapat mengubah dunia, tidak semenggiurkan tumpukan kekayaan para milyader atau tidak semegah popularitas selebriti papan atas. Namun dengan melihatnya kalian sadar bahwa sesederhana apapun, hal tersebut adalah hal yang mengubah...

Tadi Pagi Aku Sudah Belajar

“The question is: Kamu pernah nyinyirin orang di Twitter ga? Tapi ga perlu dijawab, masih pagi. Have a great day, Angitya.. :)” (A virtual friend, October 2012)  Dan ternyata memang benar kalau saat mencintai sesuatu kita tidak akan hanya menerima hal-hal yang menyenangkan, hal-hal manis yang membuat kita merasa beruntung mampu mencintai hal tersebut. Kadang ada hal-hal memuakkan yang harus kita telan mentah-mentah. Dan anehnya, kalau kita berani untuk tidak hanya membuka hati tetapi juga logika, semuanya akan kembali pada satu pelajaran yang paling kita butuhkan. Ya, terkadang hal yang paling kita butuhkan adalah...
