At some point in time we face certain changes. Sometimes good sometimes not so good. Circumstances like seeing a friend leave, experiencing a failure etc. You can name it yourself.

But i'm always encouraged by the saying that goes : " You can choose to go through hard times either with a positive state, or a negative state". Which goes to tell you that : "Hey! With sadness and self pity, or with confidence and optimism, you can still go through hard times". So why not choose positivity when we go through hard times? Isn't it better? Besides, positivity can heal you faster than negativity.

So always be positive. I know it's hard. But...try, ok?

Respectable Footballer

I don't usually write about football stuff here. But one incident happened made me not just to think about it but to write it.

New FIFA World Player of the Year, Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, or better known as Kaka, is one exceptional footballer.

Previous winners of this glamorous award such as Zidane, Cannavaro, Ronaldo, or Ronaldinho, are still great footballers and have earned my respect. But for Kaka, i can't help but to give him a double salute.


I was watching the FIFA Gala Award Ceremony, and saw how Kaka won the award. I listened to his short less-than-one-minute speech and i felt really amazed. Kaka said nothing but - " I only dreamed of playing for Sao Paolo and play just one international game, but the Bible says God does things more than our expectation, and that is what happened to me". That's it! So what did he say in this short speech? - I am just a nothing but God is my everything.

Kaka's dream was just a sand in God's eyes. Instead, God gave Kaka every football award under the sun : World Cup, Champions League, Serie A titles, Club World Championship, European Player of the Year, FIFA World Player of the Year, and many more.

I can see that what Kaka did was just 3 things. In his heart the priorities in sequence are : God, Family, Football. That's all. No parties, no clubbing, no advertisement or public glory can interest him. He only focuses on technical skills and not advertising skills like Beckham (who can't play any football nuts). He plays simple football such as simple passes, simple dribbles, and shots. Unlike other footballers who want special skills and tricks.

Kaka is one exceptional footballer on and off the pitch. The future evangelist is the footballer that i respect the most. More than Shevchenko or Ronaldinho.

Bravo Kaka!!

Good, Bad, Ugly?

People these days are very good at marketing.

I was at the PC Fair, just walking around looking for laptop with my dad. There were so many people and that place was crowded.

But what was amazing was that, most promoters put on very very sexy clothings, and they actually could attract some customers. Some even wore just a short tube and very tight shorts.

You can argue that it was a terrible thing to do. But let me remind you that it was an effective way of getting customers to you. Most of the customers actually responded to them, and they were "busy" promoting their products (PC stuff lah!!).

So is that a good thing to do? Let me remind you again, it was an effective way that those people used to do great promotions.

The verdict is yours. Ethical or unethical, you have your own answer.
