Manchester Is (NOT) Blue



well.. :')


Liga Inggris musim 2011/2012 memang telah berakhir hari Minggu, 13 Mei 2012 yang lalu. Tapi rasa sedih buat pendukung Manchester United terutama gue, belum berakhir juga. Bagaimana tidak? MU yang sempat tergelincir di beberapa pertandingan terakhir sehingga memiliki poin yang sama dengan 'tetangganya' memiliki kesempatan untuk memenangkan gelar juara Barclays Premier League ketika Manchester City sempat tertinggal satu gol atas Queen Park Rangers. Tetapi pertambahan waktu 5 menit merusak segalanya. Ya. Dalam waktu sekejap saja, City unggul lewat gol yang diciptakan oleh Edin Dzeko dan Kun Aguero. Gol terakhir itu menobatkan Manchester City sebagai juara liga inggris musim ini.

Di sisi lain, Manchester United menang melawan Sunderland lewat gol tunggal oleh Wayne Rooney. Tetapi sayangnya, kemenangan ini tidak berhasil menobatkan Setan Merah sebagai juara. 


Good job, Pal!

Pertandingan antara Manchester United dan Sunderland berakhir terlebih dahulu. Setelah itu, para fans dan pemain serta sang manager, Sir Alex menunggu dan berharap-harap cemas. Tetapi ketika mereka mendapat kabar bahwa City kembali mencetak gol, para fans langsung bersedih hati. Termasuk gue. :") QPR bahkan udah gak punya kesempatan buat menyerang sama sekali. Gue sebenarnya udah sempat yakin kalau piala musim ini akan jatuh ke MU. Tetapi dua gol terakhir yang gak disangka-sangka merusak angan-angan kita semua. Termasuk mereka.




Sungguh berbeda dengan fans 'tetangga'. :')


Tapi setidaknya, manager tercinta masih sempat tersenyum lebar. Proud of his team! 


Biar gimana pun juga, gue berpikir kalau City memang pantas menang. Yah siapapun yang menjadi juara memang pantas untuk juara. Congratulation City, and of course Citizens! Don't worry, we'll take it back next year. ;))




 12? ..really?

Thanks for this lovely season, United. Manchester is always RED (for me). :p

All That I Do Is To Make You Proud


Now I’m hoping, if you hear this
You believe that all that I do is to make you proud
Make me stronger, so I rise up
Made my mind up
All that I do is to make you proud

Terkadang gue suka mikirin, apa yang mau gue capai di hidup ini. Yah, sebenarnya gak muluk-muluk banget sih. Gue cuma pingin bikin orang tua bangga. Gue yakin, kita semua pasti punya cita-cita untuk nyenengin orang tua kita, ya gak? Orang tua kita udah kerja keras buat kita sampai ke tahap ini. Jadi yang bisa kita lakukan adalah bikin mereka pikir kalau tidak sia-sia mereka punya kita. 

Lagu JLS - Proud ini benar-benar menyentuh banget. Apalagi di bagian "All that I do is to make you proud."  



When my strength was gone, and I just gave up on life
In my darkest place you were my guide
And you told me that I should live my life to the limit
When you fall down get back up and fight
Well the shape of my heart don’t lie
I’m determined when you trust in me
It's all I need

Now I’m hoping, if you hear this

You believe that all that I do is to make you proud
Make me stronger, so that I rise up
Made my mind up
So that all that I do is to make you proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
All that I do is to make you proud

I never gave up then cause you said keep hope alive

The champion gives one last try
Said I deserve the best in life
I should be winning
Gotta spread your wings and prepare to fly

Well the shape of my heart don’t lie

I’m determined with your faith in me
To make you see

Now I’m hoping, if you hear this

You believe that all that I do is to make you proud
Make me stronger, so that I rise up
Made my mind up
All that I do is to make you proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
All that I do is to make you proud

Nobody can tell me they were there for me

Before you came around
There was pain in every heart beat
But eventually you built my reserve to be strong
Now I’m hoping, if you hear this
You believe that all that I do is to make you proud

Now I’m hoping, if you hear this

You believe that all that I do is to make you proud
Make me stronger, so that I rise up
Made my mind up

All that I do is to make you proud

Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
All that I do is to make you proud

Proud, proud, make you proud, proud

Proud, proud, make you proud, proud
All that I do is to make you proud 


Yes, all that I do is to make my family proud of me and family is the only thing that I would die for.
