didn't think it'd be this soon that this blog would be filled with my nagging and personal, non-public reflections or, to be more correct and simple still, are things that I can't speak up (though this blogger thingy isn't actually all that non-public! oh well!). currently, as I am typing on this post, I am supposed to do my geography assignment (damn!), but I couldn't focus because there are things that has been bothering me and it HAS to come out of my system before I can concentrate on my assignment.
it has always been difficult to me to meet and get along well with not just the people I just met, but also people who are older than me, especially male. those shy and unfriendly aura (that's what i think of), along with the quiet, cool and humble act usually feigned on people when they met someone new or out of respect, that I emit seems to signify me as an introvert and nerdy guy (which i assume would be partially correct). the specific reason i do not know but I think this is because of the whole respect-older-people deal and first impression. I was just trying to make a better impression of people on me so that they would not think that I am this crazy and noisy guy, that actually i prefer better and that is what i am to people i know very well of and close to. but as I reflect again, its not that I do not want to be what i like to be, I just can not be what I want to be in front of "those" people. (I'll start typing "those" if i want to mention acquintance or older people).
to drift away a little bit, i consider myself as a person who prioritize other people's feeling than myself (well, this is what i think, i do not know how others feel about me), for example, i would rather sulk and weep to let others have it the way they want rather than them hating me for choosing things i like that they don't; this might be for things as simple as sitting position or walking orders.
anyway, what other people think of you might not as be a big deal to many people. but for me it is. that is why i mentioned it here....
(this is the draft that I was gonna publish as soon as I finished it. However, it was like 3 months ago and I had forgotten what I wanted to write, rather than just dumping it away, I'll post it now. Its actually about the difficulty in interacting with other people who are brand new to you!)

Real Madrid
nothing interesting going on, just posting for the sake of updates to my "tag-fans" (T_T).
snow shower has ended. and its not gonna happen anymore anytime this year, which is sort of not fun because we wont see any white christmas, not to mention the "school holiday" that we are going to miss. but o well. apparently, the precipitation this month has been the largest since 1933. wohoo.. that's 73 years!
anyway, its been a normal week. no incident whatsoever, no surprises whatsoever. kinda boring isn't it? i was hoping there'd be more "something" to fill my spare time.
o i know, i can talk about real madrid in this post. if anyone ever cares. i know i do, though.
till this day, they are the most successful football club ever. i'm not gonna list the trophies and achievements they have won, cuz it'd be too long. however, these past 3 years, it seems that luck has gone afar from their sight. they are having trophies drought. and it is a "no no" for a club of that magnitude.
IMO, well... obviously, this is partly due to the 'Galacticos Policy' since the reigning of Florentino Perez. During his first year alone, he brought the so-called Judas (by Barcelona Fans) namely Luis Figo and his transfer broke the world's transfer market record of being the highest of all time. Then came along big known names like Zinedine Zidane (his transfer broke Figo's previous record and its the all time high, even until now!), Ronaldo Luiz Nazario da Lima, David Beckham!
Although there are opposition to the doctrine that Perez has, during the first few years of his reign, the signings has taken its positive effect, Madrid won trophies, became the highest income earner, and became the best club ever! Then came in the incident of firing Vicente Del Bosque. This IMO, is the most crucial factor of the downfall of the Real Madrid era. The expulsion of Del Bosque was unthinkable because he won 3 trophies that year alone - Spanish La Liga and two more that I couldn't remember - and logically speaking, that is a good result. After that is the worst 3 years for the Galacticos.
Now, with Ramon Calderon and Capello in charge, Real Madrid is turning into a real challenger again. Players that are useless are benched and released. Then, champions such as Cannavaro, Emerson, Diarra, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, and Reyes are recruited. Youth players namely Robinho, Ramos, De la Red, Nieto and Mata are being given experience to play. Positive results are coming in and according to realmadrid.com, history is repeating itself like 10 years ago where Capello was in charge for the first time. And that year Real Madrid won the La Liga. Hopefully, history IS repeating itself and is even better than last time. My hope is high this year with Capello in charge and the system changed. Not to mention three Latin players that are predicted to come this January Transfer. (One had been successfully recruited: Marcelo, the other 2 are in progress and is supposedly to come: Gago and Higuain)
