Trouble Sleeping

Based on my latest posts, maybe some of you would start thinking that my blog has turn out to be a football blog or something.. But no, at least not yet. Or never be. I don't know.

So, how is life? Here, i still got "souvenir" from the World Cup. Too bad it is not a good one. Yeah i got trouble sleeping and my entire daily schedule has changed drastically. !_!
- First week after WC --> couldn't sleep before 3 AM
- Week 2 after WC --> still the same with the first one
- Week 3 after WC until now --> always sleep at 1 AM

Actually i love being insomniac, i think it's the best way of meditation and to get to know better of my own self. The quietness, peacefulness, and everything that you could not get at day time is priceless. Or not.. because apparently i had to pay it with almost all of my productive time. I can barely open my eyes between 6AM-12PM after having those meditation-at-midnight! Horrible! And now, my target will be sleeping between 10-11PM everyday and waking up at 5AM. Deséame suerte!

Well, i dont know what to say anymore because there's no much things happen if you've spent all day long with your eyes closed. Nothing but some nightmare (or daymare?) Whatever. So, i'll give you two adorable photos to cure your disappointment of reading this odd post. She has a very gorgeous eyes, no?

My Brain gone Red

You know, it''s just four days after Iker Casillas lifted up the World Cup as the end of South Africa's Event but i can't literally describe how i missed my boys :'(. I keep tracking their celebration news on TV, newspapers and internet but i still feel losing. I really want to see them playing. Huhu... T_T

Iker lifting up the World Cup

The Goal Scorer also lifting it up

Well, i think i better be more patient till that time comes up because i'm sure that NT won't play any game near time. I'm looking forward for a new season of La liga (as a new Barca supporter ;p) and Premier League (because of Cesc of course). I'm also excited for any international championship like Champions League and others. Ah, can't wait, can't wait!!

Another story, two days before, when i was googling news about NT, i found a very interesting and heartwarming blog about them. I'm so lucky to found this site because it's a place for die hard Spain NT fans, just like me. I still don't know who owns this blog but from what i've read i knew that it's a woman. She also a Spaniard who (maybe) live in Spain. One more thing, she's a Real Madrid supporter, that why (i think) she calls her self as UNAMADRIDISTA.

The blog is so SPAIN, i mean almost everything we must know about the Spanish Players were there. Unamadridista is so nice giving her time translating news from Spanish to English since i have no idea about Spanish at all. I also love her point of view and writing style. I can easily conclude that she is a true fan of the boys. One of my favourite line from her which is exactly the same with me is when She said that she loves the team so much because they're all love each other so much :'). Enough said, i'm already tear up.

I thanked her for every news, Q&As, secrets, videos, and pictures about Spain NT. It means a lot for me. You make me feel closer with the guys and love them even more and more :). But i just feel sorry that i didn't found this site earlier. It would have been fun reading those posts during the World Cup. At that time i just read anything from FIFA.com which is also great but in different way. The FIFA one is more formal i think.

I also found from the blog that after the Eurocopa 2008 there's a book that has been published about the team. The title is "Los Secretos de La Roja". I want so badly to have one, but since it's in Spanish and i'm sure that the book don't exist in Indonesia, i'm once again grateful that Unamadridista has translated some parts of the book into English and make it posible for me to read.

(Pict from here)

Reading from my local newspaper, Spain and Portugal are going to bid together for being 2018 World Cup host. If that really happen i will start saving Rupiahs immediately so i can fly to Spain that time. Anyone knows how much i have to prepare for it?

Oh yes, i haven't got chance to tell you the story about that Final night between Spain and Netherland. It was a craziest night ever for me. I couldn't stop trembling at my chair waiting for miracle that somebody might score a goal. I Prayed all the times wishing my team could win the game. I fully believed at them but everything could be happened. So, when Andres Iniesta scored that freakin' awesome goal I cried so loud and almost fainted. Thank's to God i was still concious so i could watched the celebration after the game. I can'n tell you how happy i was (and i still am). It make some random thought suddenly came to me: "If i can be as happy as today (July 12 2010) in my wedding day , i know i really in love with my husband." LOL! Silly but true.. But i don't know, can i be happier?? Let's wait and see..

Cheers.

PS: For Unamadridista (if you read this) i want to thanked you so much for what you've done for your reader. I hope you won't stop doing that. I'm addicted to your blog already :D.
Vamos Espana!!

I couldn't help my self to cry. :') Oh, i love you Casillas, Puyol, Ramos, Capdevilla, Pique, Busquets, Xabi, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa, Pedro, Cesc, Torres, Navas, and all the squad..

2010 FIFA WORLD CUP SOUTH AFRICA

CHAMPION

*bighug

See Football Through My Eyes

I think it's time for me to write this. About a deep relationship between me and football.. Practically, right now almost 6 billion people in the world put their attention to an once in four years event. Yes, it's 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa. 32 nations compete to fought over a prestigious title: A World Champion.

Until the 8th of July the group match, the round of 16, the quarter-finals, and semi-finals had done. Now, everyone is looking forward to the final match in Soccer City Stadium, Johannesburg on July, 12th 2010 (GMT +7). The match will confront two top football country in Europe, the Oranje Team Netherland, and La Furia Roja, European Champion 2008, Spain. Both, never won a single World Cup champion title before.

Like I've said in my previous post before, I'm a huge fan of Spain national team. And their attainment so far, succesfully put me in mixed emotional feelings. Happy, proud, excited, nervous, stunned.. ooh beyond words.. I have a long history and memory with Spain. In the very beginning of my anxiety to football I was a Germans supporter. Yeah it was in World cup 2002 Korea/Japan and the Germany beated Saudi Arabia with 11-0. What a score!! It was make them loveable right? ;p Well, from there, I decided to support Deutschland including their package; Klose, Ballack, Oliver Khan etc.

But somehow this Korea/Japan event make me really really fall in love with football. After the World Cup 2002 I demand more games, I wanted to see more, I wanted to learn more. So, I started watch the leagues in Europe. I watched Bundesliga, Premiere League, Serie A and La Liga. Not to long, I found my favourite team, my heart has choosen Real Madrid as my first and forever favourite football club in the world.

Some people said, girls only likes the charming view and some shirtless scene from football. Well, I won't say i'm not one of those girls, but I think my grade is one step higher than them. I admit that handsome guys with their delicious body running in the field for 90 minutes are very hard to resist. But for me the art of football, the goals, the tactics, the moves, the saves, the celebration of goals are things that attrack me the most. Football is beautiful.

So, back to Spain. After put all my heart to Real Madrid and of course their charming captain Raul Gonzalez, I began support Spain in every international matches. They played well but haven't got chance to won any big competition such as Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006. But it was all about time, they have a really competitive league and some Spanish club like Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia have won so many international championship. They have come to the golden era of Spanish football. With a mixing of experienced and young players, they got the best players in every position. The goalkeeper; Iker Casillas, defender; Carles Puyol, Sergio Ramos, and Carlos Marchena, midfielder; Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Xabi Alonso, and duet striker; Fernando Torres & David Villa. They finally won the Austria/Switzerland Euro 2008 by defeat Germany 1-0 at final. Raul maybe has come to his end of national team career, but Raul is just one of my reasons for supporting Spain. The team is perfect right now, they play art in the field. And if you haven't noticed, they're one of the most fair play team in the world.

Now in South Africa, the winning team of Euro 2008 has back. The great captain Iker Casillas who always did a wonderful saves. Carles Puyol the very tough defender. Sergio Ramos the super energetic wing back. The master of midfield, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, Cesc Fabregas and Xabi Alonso. Apparently the team become better and better with the existance of Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets and Joan Capdevilla. Oh, and don't forget about the super benches David Silva, Fernando Llorente, Juan Manuel Mata, Jesus Navas and Pedro (well, Pedro i regret your selfish action last night! Please don't do that again!). My team has a very wonderful ingredients and well cooked by coach Vicente delBosque.

Last night Spain has beated Germany (again) in semifinal World cup 2010 with 1-0 score (again). Carles puyol header has bring Spain to final match for the first time after the 12th time participation. I tell you a secret: I cried when Puyol tear the Germans goal post :D. Now, i put all my hope to this final match. I pray for you my team, I believe we can win the final game. But even though we're not destinied to hold the Cup yet, I still proud of you and will be your fan forever.

With all my heart.

:')

PS: I started to love Barcelona FC because half of Spanish player are there. Funny, because Real Madrid and Barcelona have always been a rival. But for me they're one. Hehe.. :p
