ARSENAL
I love The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, Skins, One Tree Hill, The O.C., Grey's Anatomy and Prison Break.
Cesc Fabregas is my all-time favourite player.
I love quotes, watching movies and photography.
I love MUSIC.
Arsenal is my everything.
(:
Once a Gunner, always a Gunner,
Victoria Concordia Crescit,
I found this Tumblr and I thought it was smthg very meaningful. I know I take things for granted sometimes..but oh wells, such pieces of information seems to remind me that I should be grateful for what I have and not act like a spoilt brat ): But I think its normal for everyone to want more even when they ARE happy and have everything that they need..that they start to covet things..things that they want but are not neccesarily necessary in their life. Okay I am ranting again.
Anyway, went for Sarah's farewell yesterday. I'm really gonna be missing her. She was a really amazing friend and it was great to be around her. Hope she will be safe and sound..and HAPPY in Aussieland :D All the best, matee. Love ya loadss.
Meanwhile, I have been watching Skins first generation. WHY DID CHRIS HAVE TO DIE? ):
Anyway,I am home alone at the moment..as my parents have a more eventful life than I do. They have gone shopping and left before I woke up..and promised to buy me food. And I am starvingggg. Its almost 3pm and I haven't had lunch. Maybe I will go back to sleep and hibernate. Or maybe Skins or Youtube (either way its the same thing as I watch Skins on youtube) can keep me company till they get back.
ANYWAY, wanted to post this. Another amazing song by A7x from their new album! love them to bits and pieces.
RIP The Rev. He was an AMAZING drummer.
And I love this song by Verical Horizon! It's kinda sad song..but I love the video..with like short and sweet meaningful quotes. But sadly..the video couldn't be embedded..cause 'Embedding was disabled by request.' ): Nevermind..I shall jus post the audio then. I love this song..even though it is kinda old :D
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
Such a nice song! <3
Anyway FA Cup match tonight! Can't wait! Like Samir Nasri said, I reallyyyyy want Arsenal to win smthg (even if its not the Treble, its okay) this season. THEY DESERVE IT MORE THAN ANYTHING. And I love the way they have been playing recently. Really amazing football. And I love how they seem to play more like a unit..and be known collectively as Arsenal instead of being known because of one or two players. Arsenal FC forever. Own freaking Man United in Premier League and Barcelona in Champs League!!
Okays I am gonna watch Skins while I wait for my parents to come back. Pfftttttt.
CNY NEXT WEEK. HOLIDAYS <3
And meeting the Ackles tmr for some bonding time <3
I have been youtube-ing a lot lately..besides watching Skins and Misfits on it. But yea..and these songs are reallyyyy amazing. Don't care if they are mainstream or not..they are jus beautiful and great to listen to.
Fuck Ashley Cole for screwing over Cheryl Cole. She's so amazing. He is an asshole for cheating on her..multiple times if I might add. She deserves someone better than him.
Arsenal won Wigan 3-0 :D van Persie scored a hat trick (despite missing a penalty)
And they won Leeds 3-1 :D
Nasri received the Barclay's Player of the month award.
Anyway, I'm in my second week of work. I have to say that I am starting to kinda enjoy it. It's pretty cool actually..and it makes you feel important.
Meanwhile, I created a Tumblr account. I have been wanting to for a while..the photography and quotes that I have come across on Tumblr are reallyyyy amazingg. And I found more after I created an account. Shall post sometime later.
There was this one particular story that I came across which really moved me. It portrayed this guy hugging his brother before he left with the American army to fight in Afghanistan and the next picture shows him kissing his coffin. Seriously, if that ever happened to me..I will jus die from crying. Losing your loved one in one thing..losing him without even being able to spend enough time with him over the past few days or weeks or months even is another thing. When my maternal grandfather passed away when I was nine..I still remember the exact moment when I heard that he was brain dead and that he was going to be taken off life support. The first thing that came to my mind was that I didn't get to tell him 'I love you' before he went away. And sometimes that thought still haunts me. I wish he stuck around for a longer time..and was able to spend time with me when I was older..such that I was at an age where I was actually making and retaining a lot of my memory. I didn't want him to pass away when I was just nine..where I only had some significant moments with him. And that too only when I was in India for vacation..which wasn't that often either (like once in two years.). I wonder how the person managed to move on from it. Maybe the sense of patriotism for his country overwhelmed him? I don't know. But I think losing your loved one (in any way) will take any being a significant period of time to recover from it, be in for good or not. Truth.
And then there was another picture which condemned the way the media portrayed and degraded people who are obese or overweight. I think people are beautiful in their own ways and stereotyping them and pressurising them to look or appear a certain way is wrong..why do you wanna make them loose what's unique about them jus so that the world can think they are hot or beautiful? Seriously thats BOLLOCKS. (HAHAHA, thanks to Skins' influence on me.)
But oh well..some things jus can't be explained. I think people should jus have confidence in themselves and believe that personality and heart matter a lot more than looks. Looks can only take you to maybe to front page of FHM magazine..but personality enables you to establish bonds with people around you which will last a lifetime.
I am ranting again..BLEHHH.
Arsenal won West Ham United 3-0 :D Complete ownage. 2 goals from van Persie and a goal from Walcott were enough to seal 3 points. And the highlight of the match (for me) was that the commentator actually said smthg reallyyy good about Arsenal. How often does that happen? They are jus so biased against Arsenal..probably cause the number of British players in Arsenal is a lot lesser compared to other clubs. I mean the most prominent English players in the team are like..Walcott and Wilshere. But the commentator said that Arsenal are the best attacking team in the premier league and they have everything that it takes to be crowned champions of the premier league this season. He seriously said that they could be 'unstoppable.' WOW. Thats a huge compliment there. And another good thing was that Spurs drew with Man U. MUHAHAHAHA. Man City's position is a fluke and it is a little toooo flattering for them cause they have played more games than Arsenal and Man U so the comparison of points with respect to Man U or Arsenal cannot be justified..cause if Arsenal and Man U play their games in hand, they would both have more points than Man City. Given that, it eventually comes down to between Man U or Arsenal. Arsenal all the way! Wenger has believed in this team. He has bought raw talent and groomed them to play WengerBall or Arsenal football..the Arsenal's brand of football..which is THE way footbal should be played: in the most entertaining and attacking form. The only other team which plays this way is undeniable Barcelona. And Wenger..for all his efforts deserves to applauded and deserves to add trophies to his cabinet this season. And the players who have stuck around too! Rosicky, Clichy, Fabregas, Van Persie..and the list goes on. All young and extremely talented and they have turned down big money moves to other clubs to stick around to see Captain Cesc lift the coveted trophy for the Gunners this season. They deserve it. They came so painfully close in 07/08 season..I will NEVER forget that. So close. And it all jus became nothing after the Eduardo injury. This time round, they are more mature and they will not let that happen. Come on you Gunners. You can do thissss. Silence the freaking Mancs, Chavs and Spuds :D Ooh-to-be-a-gooner :D
Anywayyy..I am gonna sleep soon. yea, this is me sleeping at about 1030pm every day. So not me, but still me. But I stay up still 6am on weekends to make up for that :D
I wanna go to Editor's Market and shopppp :D
Anywayyy..I think I am gonna end it here. Shall post tumblr pics laterrrrr.
Time to wash my face and cuddle in bed with my beloved pillow and cushiony bolster :D
Okays off now.
Victoria Concordia Crescit,
Players come and go, passion is forever. Arsenal FC foreverrrrr. Till death do us apart :D
Never really realised how exhausting work life can be D:

Love is all i need, I’ve waited all my life, You got me on my best behaviour, ohh uuaah ohhh
Hurry up im in danger baby, ohh uuaah ohhh how long before you save me baby?
Arsenal had a close shave against Leeds United. They almost lost at home but Fabregas equalised at the last minute and so it was a 1-1 draw. At least they are not out of the FA Cup, especially given the crappy way that they played in the game. Oh wells.
I think I am gonna stop watching season 4 Skins. It is too depressing. Killing Freddie was one thing. Showing Effy jus recovering and hearing his voice and presence around her is after his death is another thing. GOD. Why can't the writers jus give them a happy ending? They screwed up Chris in the first generation and now Freddie? And the way he died..HE DID NOT DESERVE THAT. It's like..Effy's indirectly to be blamed. He was jus trying to protect her by warning and telling her psychotic psychiatrist off so that SHE CAN BE SAFE. His death might have only have occurred in the second last eppy of the season..but they didn't really let him (and Effy) be happy except for the beginning part of the 'Freddie' episode. What the hell. And seriously..the way they killed him was so...disturbing. Like omg, why would they portray a freaking psychiatrist as such an ambivalent, cold-hearted FREAK?? THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE KILLED FREDDIE MCLAIR. I freaking loved his character. Yea, he was flawed in many ways. But I loved how he was so responsible..and how he took care of his friends. And how he helped Effy through her depression even though he went through shit because of that and it caused him so much pain. He loved Effy so freaking much. And how he was not willing to let go of his friendship with Cook even though the initial love triangle between him, Cook and Effy in season 3 pretty much destroyed their friendship. He still cared for Cook and was there for Cook and there for his hearing when Cook went to prison. And Cook was the one who initially 'stole' Effy from him. Not that I don't like Cook. I love him. He is wacky and crazy..and pretty screwed up..kind of a male version of Effy. But I love how he is there for his loved ones when they need him even if he might have screwed up with people now and then. Seriously. How did the writers even have the heart to kill Freddie?
I really hope Cook avenged his death by killing John Fucking Foster. I heard Luke Pasqualino will be in the Skins movie (I REALLY HOPE THIS IS TRUE). I don't really think he is alive..even though they technically didn't show Freddie dead. I mean if he is trully alive..and if they reunite Freds and Effy and the rest of the gang, that would possibly be the best ending for this generation's Skins! But fingers crossed. There's smthg about tragic love stories..they kinda stay with you and make you yearn for more. Oh wells. I will still be pining for a Freddie return..hopefully alive if there is an unexpected twist.
I think I am just gonna watch season 3 Skins now where it was less painful and tragic. ughh. I hate tragedy. hate. hate. hate.
I am gonna watch Friday Night Lights Season 4 now.
Victoria Concordia Crescit,
“Here lies Henry Saracen. His mother annoyed him, his wife couldn’t stand him, and he didn’t want to be a dad, so he took off to be in the army. Because it was the only way he could come up with to get out of here and ditch all your responsibilities that no one could call you out on and that worked out great, so you just decided to enlist four more times and that ended up getting you killed and now here you are. And all you got left, all you left behind is a mother with dementia, a divorced wife and a son who delivers pizza. Thank you coming one hundred people I do not know. “- Matt Saracen, Friday Night Lights 4x05
"Long ago, men went to sea, and women waited for them, standing on the edge of the water, scanning the horizon for the tiny ship. Now I wait for Henry. He vanishes unwillingly, without warning. I wait for him. Each moment that I wait feels like a year, an eternity. Each moment is as slow and transparent as glass. Through each moment I can see infinite moments lined up, waiting. Why has he gone where I cannot follow?"
-Clare Abshire, The Time Traveler's Wife
Dearest Clare,
As I write this, I am sitting at my desk in the back bedroom looking out at your studio across the backyard full of blue evening snow, everything is slick and crusty with ice, and it is very still. It's one of those winter evenings when the coldness of every single thing seems to slow down time, like the narrow centre of an hourglass which time itself flows through, but slowly, slowly. I have the feeling, very familiar to me when I am out of time but almost never otherwise, of being buoyed up by time, floating effortlessly on its surface like a fat lady swimmer. I had a sudden urge, tonight, here in the house by myself to write you a letter. I suddenly wanted to leave something for after. I think that time is short, now. I feel as though all my reserves, of energy, of pleasure, of duration, are thin, small. I don't feel capable of continuing very much longer. I know you know.
If you're reading this, I'm probably dead. I say probably because you never know what circumstances may arise; it seems foolish and self-important to just declare one's own death as an out-and-out fact. About this death of mine- I hope it was simple and clean and unambiguous. I hope it didn't create too much fuss. I'm sorry. But you know: you know that if I could have stayed, if I could have gone on, that I would have clutched every second: whatever it was, this death, you know that it came and took me like a child carried away by goblins.
Clare, I want to tell you again, I love you. Our love has been the thread through the labyrinth, the net under the high-wire walker, the only real thing in this strange life of mine that I could ever trust. Tonight, I feel that my love for you has more density in this world than I do, myself: as though it could linger on after me and surround you, keep you, hold you.
I hate to think of you waiting. I know that you have been waiting for me all your life, always uncertain of how long this patch of waiting would be. Ten minutes, ten days. A month. What an uncertain husband I have been, Clare, like a sailor, Odysseus alone and buffeted by tall waves, sometimes wily and sometimes just a plaything of the gods. Please, Clare. When I am dead. Stop waiting and be free. Of me-put me deep inside you and then go out in the world and live. Love the world and yourself in it, move through it as though it offers no resistance, as though the world is your natural element. I have given you a life of suspended animation. I don't mean to say that you have done nothing. You have created beauty, and meaning, in your art, and Alba, who is so amazing and for me: for me you have been everything.
After my mom died, she ate my father up completely. She would have hated it. Every minute of his life since then has been marked by her absence, every action has lacked dimension because she is not there to measure against. And when I was young, I didn't understand, but now, I know, how absence can be present like a damaged nerve, like a dark bird. If I had to live on without you I know I could not do it. But I hope, I have this vision of you walking unencumbered, with your shining hair in the sun. I have not seen this with my eyes but only with my imagination that makes pictures, that always wanted to paint you, shining; but I hope that this vision will be true, anyway.
Clare, there is one last thing, and I have hesitated to tell you because I'm superstitiously afraid that telling you might cause it to not happen (I know:silly) and also because i have just been going on about not waiting and this might cause you yo wait longer than you have ever waited before. But I will tell you in case you need something, after.
Last summer, I was sitting in Kendrick's waiting room when I suddenly found myself in a dark hallway in a house I don't know. I was sort of tangled up in a bunch of galoshes, and it smelled like rain. At the end of the hall I could see a rim of light around a door, and so I went very slowly and very quietly to the door and looked in. The room was white, and intensely lit with morning sun. At the window, with her back to me, sat a woman, wearing a coral-coloured cardigan sweater, with long white hair all down her back. She had a cup of tea beside her, on a table. I must have made a little noise or she sensed me behind her..she turned and she saw me, and I saw her, and it was you, Clare,this was you as an old woman in the future. It was sweet beyond telling, to come as though from the death to hold you, and to see the years all present in your face. I won't tell you anymore so you can imagine it, so you can have it unrehearsed when the time comes, as it will, as it does come. We will see each other again, Clare. Until then, live, fully, present in the world, which is so beautiful.
It's dark, now, and I am very tired. I love you, always. Time is nothing.
Henry

I cried so hard after reading this book. It is an AMAZING book. Freaking amazing. Freaking epic.
Got back to Singapore a few days ago. And I still feel quite tired. Yes, I am a lazy ass. ahaha.
I jus unpacked my stuff. So yay. I don't have to be nagged by my mother regarding that. ahaha.
Anyway..Arsenal won CHELSKI 3-1 :D ON YOUR FACE CASHLEY COLE.
And they won Birmingham 3-0 on New Year's :D What a great start right?
Song, Fabregas and Walcott scored against Chelsea. Van persie, Nasri and an own goal forced by Fabregas was enough to see Birmingham off.
A draw with Wigan kind of seized their momentum but they are still in contention with a game in hand compared to Man City. So...things look fine for now but nothing is certain till Captain Fabregas lifts the trophy for Arsenal in May. Meanwhile Arsenal has to play Barcelona in the Champions League Round of 16. Maybe they can show everyone that they can beat Barca, the so-called best team in the world led by the likes of Puyol, Messi, Iniesta and Xavi. I really, really hope they do. It will really be a message to everyone not only regarding Arsenal but also Barcelona. And Barca can finally stop trying to lure Cesc to the Nou Camp. Not that I think that they'll give up on him so easily..but oh well, at least when Arsenal says that he will have a better time/future here, they will be backed by proper statistics :D
Anyway, re watched Avatar yesterday! I got my hands on the DVD while I was shopping in bangalore. And I really think DVDs have a lot better prices there compared to here. But anyway, I love that movie. And I watched the making of the movie..and it is really amazing how James Cameron came up with such an amazing concept and created this entire world..with creatures that are really alien yet bear a vague resemblance to creatures on Earth. Its like they are so different yet sorta similar to what we know and have seen. Haixxx. I love Avatarrr :D
But I still think Titanic and Transformers are the best movies everrr. :D
I jus re watched Troy. I love that movie. Historical movies have this..cool essence I guess. I mean its not something you witness in every day life..people or kingdoms fighting with one another for power or for glory etc. But Troy is an amazing moviee :D I wish Hector didn't die! He was my favourite character in the movie! Oh wells, but he was a great warrior :D
Anywayssss..I caught a cold. ):
But its still quite mild. But its making me feel like I'm having a fever. Oh wells, I think I'm gonna sleep early today. So maybe I will feel fresher and more energised and not sick at all tmrrr.
Have a great 2011! May all your wishes come true.
And for me..I hope I do well for Alevels..cause I am still waiting for my results. And I hope that I can decide on which university and which university course to do by March or April. I am that undecisive on what I wanna do in the future. oh well.
I miss One Tree Hill and Nathan/Haley!
I found this Tumblr and I thought it was smthg very meaningful. I know I take things for granted sometimes..but oh wells, such pieces of information seems to remind me that I should be grateful for what I have and not act like a spoilt brat ): But I think its normal for everyone to want more even when they ARE happy and have everything that they need..that they start to covet things..things that they want but are not neccesarily necessary in their life. Okay I am ranting again.
Freddie is....AWESOME.
<3
'love you forever.' )': I love Freddie.
I think Effy is..one of the most complicated and enigmatic people everr.
Freddie wrote this in his diary and Effy reads it during his birthday after Freddie's death D:
ahaha so cuteee :D
I love love Seth Cohennn :D
Awww so cuteee :D
Fabregas + Nasri Manlove :D
