Reported to You, From Manchester

10 comments:

Just now, as you all probably knew, was the last matchday of the English Premier League. The top two Manchesters were head to each other's head to be the toppest. They earned the same point of 86, same winnings of 27, same draws and loses of each 5. Only the number of goals made City stayed on the first place.

And so the battle began,

Manchester United vs. Manchester City
Stadium of Light - Etihad Stadium
Sunday, May 13th 2012

You felt that too, eh? Although United was against Sunderland and City was feasting QPR, it felt like those two were the one battling. People turned hectic. I observed my twitter timeline and saw many people were like switching channels to see each match's progress.

Things started to heat up on the first half when both United and City scored one. But the best happened on the second half, in Etihad.

When QPR made it 1-1 by Cisse and Mackie, several minutes later turned things over by making it 1-2. It was so depressing for Mancini, I supposed. The commentator even said, "It's yours, United! It's yours!!" when Mackie scored. And the desperation lasted until the injury time, until United finished their game.

However, quote "Save the best for the last" truly happened.

Like a soap opera plot, City fired up after being bullied. Dzeko scored a goal by the last three minutes of the injury time, and ignited a tiny little hope for the fans. They needed less than two minutes to make one more goal, just one.

It was like a sudden death match -well, not a match actually, a sudden death minute will be suitable- for City. They scored one and they won it, they didn't score then um, they didn't win it.

And yes, miracle happened. Aguero was the one who scored the league-winning goal, ruining the temporary euphoria United just had for only two minutes.

So yea, Manchester City is the winner of EPL 2011/2012

Phew what an ending. I'm not a fan of either one, but that was a hell lot of a match. So breathtaking that I wanted to post it here. And yet, I overread on my timeline, a tweet that said,

"We are witnessing a history"

It had me thinking. He was right. This kind of drama, it's just too precious just to be told. And remembered. And talked about. It has to be recorded.

So um, you can call me 'karbitan' yea whatever
But I was one of witnesses of this epic drama
And since it's a big part of EPL's history, so
Just let me write


P.S. : Bestest ovation for the keeper of QPR and QPR themselves, because they can fought the almighty City even just with 10 people. And congrats for not being kicked out from the EPL ;)

Dark Shadows

4 comments:

Had love rejected, evil witch Angelique Bouchard cursed Barnabas Collins to be a vampire and trapped him inside a box for 200 years. After released, Barnabas searched for the remaining family members of his and reunited with the brand new Angelique. He also met a girl named Victoria Winters, whose figure was way too similar to his lover back then named Josette. To be able to win Barnabas' heart, Angie will cast all the spells and curses she has and do anything she desires, including destroys the Collins.

dark-shadows-character-poster-banner-johnny-deppWhat did I feel right after? Entertained. Jujur plotnya, bagi gue, agak berantakan tapi kayaknya justru disitu seninya. Tim Burton gituloh. Pokoknya banyak kejutan dan kekocakan sepanjang film deh. Plus, I guess I've told you before, movies that consist lots of characters and family members could really win me. Dan satu lagi yang bikin gue sampe ngepost film ini di blog adalah karena main actornya itu Johnny Depp dan salah satu actressnya itu ada si Helena Bonham Carter. For me, those two are the god and goddess of casting art. Johnny Depp tau sendiri kan, segala macem jenis peran udah pernah dia lakuin. Nah Helena Bonham Carter ini menurut gue, adalah versi cewek si Depp. Sayangnya, peran doi disini cuma minor jadi gak muncul banyak. Padahal mantep tuh kalo dua duanya jadi jagoan. But still, I love the whole story.

This was where the hero slept with the villain.
This was un-guess-able"

Heroes and Perfectionism

24 comments:

So now everybody's talking about The Avengers.

Yeah, uhuh I know, mainstreams... Well I'm dying to see that too but uh, you know, the cinema's too crowded lately although the movie's shown in dozens of studios all around the city.

But honestly, I'm not that interested. Why? Because in the Marvel Universe, I happen to be the fan of X-Men and Fantastic 4. Now that neither of them are allied to The Avengers, I'm not so moved to watch.

Speaking of Fantastic 4, I guess I know why they're not joined to the gang. What? Scarlett Johansson's way hotter than Jessica Alba? Haha over my dead body, dude. Alba's much more gorgeous.

Okay now people, back to business!
I guess I know why they're not joined to the gang.

Why?

Because there will be two Chris Evans

Lumpish. Why on earth didn't they -I use term 'they' because I have no idea who's responsible of picking the actor for each hero- consider first before choosing the actors? Didn't they ever imagine about how if someday, these Marvel heroes will team up as a whole superior group of earth-savers and fight an evil set of villains??

Sigh now see what they've done. The one-hit-wonder-group just consists of a maniac engineer, the scientific green beast, some heroine that even had no movies of her own, and some other characters I barely know.

Well I'm not saying that the movie sucks. I haven't even seen it, please note that. I'm just stating my disappointment of them not recruiting Fantastic 4 and X-Men. They're a hell lot cooler than other Marvel heroes you could ever ask.

So seriously, no offence.
I'm just a freaky perfectionista

Self Defence

It's so early in the morning but I'm here already, posting.
Well yea I got this idea inside my head and I didn't wanna miss it.

Now if you noticed, I put a banner of "Sayembara Ahmad Wahib" in this blog. The competition is somewhat a search of an inspiring blog that spreads tolerance and values about diversity. It sounds so not like me but um, it's worth trying. Nothing to lose tho.

However, it's not that I did it all for granted. I know, my blog's just like a bible full of baloney and drivel, and even sometimes you can find some harsh words here.

But at some point, I want to show my passion in blogging that never stops.
I have no time but I write. I'm busy but I share.

I want to tell everybody that even I, an amateur writer that has no background about writing skill, is willing to write. I want to let everybody know that even I, an inexperienced young adult who really has no idea about the whole world, is willing to share.

So whoever whenever wherever you are, write now. You can share your thoughts and nobody else can forbid you doing this. This is your media, our media. We own our own things.

You may consider this post as a coax to suck up the judges.
Well, assume whatever you want to assume.
I just stated what I really intended.

So good luck to me, then.
May the best one wins.
