The day after tomorrow is the day that I'm gonna leave.
World, we got ourselves a new king of tennis of 2008!
Nope, no more ROGER.
2008, is the year of RAFA NADAL!!!
In case you didn't know, Nadal won the 2008 Wimbledon.
He also had won 4 titles of Roland Garros.
In the Wimbledon, he ceased Roger from winning his 6th title of Wimbledon.
He also, for the record, stopped Roger from 6-years of being Number One Tennis Player on the planet.
He is showing progress for the last 2 years.
For instance, this is his 2008's record for grandslams.
Australian Open : Semifinal
French Open : Winner
Wimbledon : Winner
US Open : Semifinal

'Try to leave a light on when I'm gone.. Something I rely on to get home..' Light On, David Cook.
'Darlin' leave a light on for me.. I'll be there before you close the door.. To give you all the love that you need..' Leave a Light On, Belinda Carlisle
Light.. Give me light.
To bright my path.. Make it obvious..
I am confounded by destiny.
How I never seem to understand the path that I'm going to.
But here's the thing, it makes me think.
It makes me wander in my own mind.
Why is everything so absurd?
Light.. Show me how it works..
Lighten up everything I've been missing..
So I won't shed a tear in the future,
regretting those things.
Light.. Show me the way.
I want to mean something to someone.
I wanna be a guidance. I wanna be the something!
Can I? Or it just doesn't meant to be?
When I'm gone, will anyone realize?
Will I be remembered?
Or will I just be a painful and regretful memory of someone's?
Light.. Give me a clue.
I can't stand it,
wondering,
how am I to be lingered?
Or wouldn't I be?
I am going to do that *HORRIBLE* test again!
Oh Looord, help meee.. I better pass, cause if not, my mom's gonna give me one-hour lecture!
BAM!!
Oooooh nooooooo! Can anyone help me to learn? I dunno what to learn actually..
I already quit my English Course.. Oh my..
I dunno what to do now..
I was looking through one of my friend's blog and I realized that I wanted to bring this topic long ago. But I always forgot somehow. So here it is.
Did you know that the a research showed that 'I' is the most used word in telephone?
Well, it's a fact and I think we should all know that.
In case you're wondering, what's the point of me writing this? Bringing this topic?
It's not weird that the word 'I' is used a lot.
Lemme tell you, THAT is the point.
Still got confused?
We, we just don't realize of how often we talk about ourselves.
I mean, we just care about ourselves, we tell stories, not caring whether the listener wants to hear the story or not.
For example, when you talk about Harry Potter,
'Oh, I love Harry, but I hate Ron. I envy Hermione, she's so beautiful and talented. And Mrs. Weasly, I think she is so nice. Dumbledore too, I adore him so much..'
What about if you slip something like,
'what do you think of Harry? he seems nice. And Hermione, isn't she adorable?'
You know, just stuff like that. Get your listener involved in the conversation.
Just try to avoid the word I.
Well, sometimes I do it too, to be honest.
And one more thing we really really often do,
we commented very slightly on someone's story,
just because we think we have something more important or amusing to tell.
BUT, A VERY BIG BUT,
if we are the ones to tell the story, we would like to hear an impression, right?
we want to be heard, and noticed.
In that way, we use the word I more because we tell stories of our own.
Now, I've been trying not to use the word I, but it's too hard.
We have to understand and try to be sensible of everyone's feeling.
No matter who he/she is.
Don't just think about yourself, you got tons of people around you to pay attention to.
Lemme tell you a story,
there was this one guy, I had a long chat with him.
I told a story, it's about me doing weird things. I suppose he was not interested but I kept going instead.
He seemed to pay no attention, and just saying uh-huh, oh, yeah, and stuff.
and as soon as I finished my story, he came up with his own.
No comments, no compliments, nothing.
Well, from that on, I listened to every single of everyone's story because I know how it feels to be ignored, and hell yeah, it hurts.
So, guys, let's be good to each other.
I hurt people all the time, and I don't want you to do that.
Right now, I know you're thinking that I have no right to tell you anything bout your life.
But believe me, it hurts. And if you don't care, you are going to be the one to feel hurt inside.
Learning from my all of the blunders I've made,

Have you ever loved someone?
Have you ever being loved by someone?
Oh, how ludicrous love is! yet, how enormous love is!
The unconditional love, do you believe in it?
Love is untold. Unexplainable.
Some believe that love is meant to be.
Some believe that love can find its own path.
Some believe that love grows.
I believe that love is just the way it is.
It is undeniable, in the same time, unacceptable.
The Darkness, once brought up a song called 'Love is only A Feeling'
The chorus says,
'love is only a feeling -drifting away-.. when I'm in your arms I start believing -its here to stay- but love is only a feeling.. anyway'
Well, it is true that love IS a feeling.
but it's not ONLY a feeling, it's greater than just a feeling...
Like I said, love is unexplainable..
L..ost in words when describing it
O..blivious about it
V..ast of curiosity about it
E..ternity will never be enough for it
Oh, LOVE, be there for me..
Rock my world with every sense you got!
Hmmm,
Devy
' Don't worry, bout a thing, cause every little thing, is gonna be alrite.. '
Remember that? A song from Bob Marley which is used as a soundtrack of the movie I am Legend? Good song..
Anyways, I've got problems. You know, I often underestimate people.
I think I wrote it before, that I praise myself to high that I can't look down.
I'm a bad bad person.
If you don't know me, well, its just the matter of time that someone will find out how bad I am.
You know, I find people that stick around me very fascinating.
How can they even endure being near me? If I were those people, I really really can't be around myself.
I am loathsome. I should be hatred.
I wish I could be like Johny Gunther, Jr.
He suffered brain cancer but still lived his life blithely.
I wish I could do that, I'm trying to.
I want to be someone. No, I want to be something for someone.
I always considered myself as the forlorn one, but I am disgraceful of what I posses.
This post, is a verbose post. I am just selfish and inconsiderable. That's the point.

Have you ever read or seen the movie 'A Walk to Remember'?
Well, if you haven't, you should.
Its about a seventeen-year-old boy who fell in love with a girl.
But the girl had leukemia.
She used to dream of getting married in the same church her parents got married.
She dreamed of her dad walking her down the aisle,
then finally, gave her up to her lovely husband.
But it just seemed impossible.
She was just seventeen.
But this boy, came like a miracle to her,
he was so crazy about her, crazy in love, I mean.
They finally got married, when she was very sick.
She was so weak, that she and her father had to stop twice before reaching the altar.
That walk, along the aisle, with such an effort, was worth remembering.
That's why the story was called 'A Walk to Remember'.
'Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes' - Corinthians.
Its a passage where the girl highlighted and wanted to show to the boy.
She was very kind and wise.
A character that no one shall beat or defeat of its greatness.
Nicholas Sparks is amazing and adorable.

I wanted to define the meaning, I want to decipher the unspoken feelings of having one.
But I can't. I never have one in my life, I mean, the true one, the one I can confide in.
No one has ever really share things with me.
Maybe I've been noticed, but not trusted.
I can gain people's trust to believe in me to handle things, to make things right.
But I can never ever make them know that I care.
All these years, I've been such a braggart.
That almost everyone have such a very uncomfortable feelings for me.
Back then, I didn't know.
Now, I think it's too late to fix it.
I know, never say too late, but it really is.
I wish I could go back to three years ago, and make everything goes better.
I have to move on, I know.
But there are certain points where I know that I am the one to blame,
but I praise myself too high that I couldn't find my way down.
I resent myself, for being selfish,
I am trying not to be,
but it's very hard, cause it already seemed like me.
Selfish, me, selfish, me,
seems like so connected, its like permanently curved in me.
I really am trying to change.
In every aspect.
Wish me luck..
Wishing myself luck,

"When there's no heart breaking, there will be no healing.
When there's no healing, there will be no learning.
When there's no learning, there will be no struggle.
And struggle is a part of life" - Lucas Scott, One Tree Hill.
I wonder, if we ended up sobbing, will we get better?
I mean, we have our self resilience, right?
For example, when you fail a subject, you will try harder, right?
Maybe you don't realize it, but there's something that mends your heart when it was broken.
I once had a problem, about understanding how human could be that fragile the same time he/she could be strong.
But I know that's the way it was supposed to be, right?
We get hurt, we be strong, and we'll be back to normal.
Many people don't realize of how they great they are.
Many people don't realize how special they are to people around them.
I always wanted to tell my friends,
how important they are to me, how I appreciate every moment I spent with them,
but I was too afraid of listening or seeing how will they react.
I'm afraid that it would disappoint me,
but it turns out that I lost them, that I can never hold on to them again.
I wanted to be indifferent, pathetic,
But I ended up knowing that everything was meant to be felt.
Even though by feeling it means hurting ourselves, but that's just the art of life, right?
I had this *HORRIBLE* test yesterday.
It's called TOEFL. Gosh! Very very difficult for me.
It's even very weird. Can you imagine an English test without problems of structure and grammar?
There was only listening and reading! You know what's most annoying?
The passage is so *DAMN* long! It's like a page full of passage with 10-15 paragraph! And, one passage is only for 10 questions! Gosh!
I am NOT going to pass the stupid test!
And for listening, we had to listen to a part of a LECTURE! LECTURE! Gosh!
It's like 5 minutes lecture for just 6 questions! Urgh! I felt like dying there, ya know?
I was kinda stressed out yesterday.
Then, I rented some movie. Actually, it's a movie and a serial.
The movie, Kungfu Panda, hell yeah funny.
But the serial, it's like a Korean serial.
Man, had I not understand a part of the serial!
Oh, man, I've had a worse day than this one.
But, just take it easy! This day would be so much better!
I have not much to tell, not much to say.
But I really want to share, to someone, one day.
Unfortunately, I have no guts, I want to gain some, if I may.
I am afraid, afraid of the sudden raid of my emotion.
It may just bursts away without any precaution.
So sudden, screws up all of my motion.
I hate the dark, but I dislike the burning light,
But the warmth of the sunlight, just feels like holding me tight.
Just like the cold of the dark that accompanies me every night.
I think a lot about the life that's hard to endure,
But I know I'll survive for sure,
Just be nice and act mature.
have you ever wonder how were we invented?
have you ever think about it?
it's too hard for us to understand what we were made of, or how we are invented.
then, if we do not know what we were made of or who invented us,
no wonder we are so hard to find who ourselves really are, right?
why do we have to survive?
why do we have to fight so hard?
is it just a game?
ever since we come into this world as a baby who knows nothing, why do we have to survive?
where do feelings come from?
I'm not sure it is from our heart, because if it is, we don't even know what does our heart made of.
our soul, is it immortal?
do you believe that if we have found our soulmate in this life than we will find them again in our next life?
do you even believe that there is a next life after this?
why are there rich people?
why are there poor people?
do you truly believe that it depends on how hard we try?
what if there's a smart person but he was unlucky?
where does luck come from?
who invented destiny?
who managed our luck?
is it God?
how can God manage six billion people in the world?
not that I wanted to underestimate God..
but it's just confusing.
I think I am different, you know, in every kind of way.
I'm not perfect, not even close.
I'm just different, weird, maybe.
I read a novel in the middle of a tennis match yesterday.
Oh, and by the way, Marat Safin was very, very awful in the semi of Wimbledon.
When I'm not feeling well, I can easily blow up, easier than when I'm healthy.
What I meant there, is not well in the physical way.
I cheated on several tests but I never regret it.
I scored good, if you wanna know.
I like listening 50 cent the way I like listening System of a Down and Good Charlotte and Britney.
Okay, I might like SOAD better than Britney. LOL
My English sucks, but I'm still trying hard to do better.
You might wonder why am I this confident to publish my writing then.
But uh, just like what I said, I'm trying.
And if you find any, any mistakes, will you contact me?
Devy Cendana, find me on friendster of facebook.
I talk to myself every time, I got no one to talk to.
I mean seriously, I do, but it just doesn't feel right.
I'm going to leave my family in just a few month,
but I don't feel like doing it.
I got no preparation, uh maybe courses, but instead of that, nothing.
When I was questioned who is the person that I admire the most,
I can barely answer it.
I'm confused.
I'm bored.
I even wonder why people are waiting for holiday.
Well, maybe that because I have nothing to do for holiday.
Oh, pity me..
- As happens sometimes a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. And then the moment was gone.
- Happiness comes in many forms -- in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else's dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It's okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be.
- As we strain to grasp the things we desire, the things we think will make our life better, money, popularity, fame, we ignore the things that truly matter. The simple things like friendship, family, love, the things we probably already had.
- Life comes rushing at you
From out of the darkness
When it does
Is there someone in your life you can count on?
Someone who will watch over you when you stumble and fall
And in that moment
Give you the strength to face your fears alone
- Regret comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are small, like when we do a bad thing for a good reason. Some are bigger like when we let down a friend. Some of us escape the pains of regret by making the right choice. Some of us have little time for regret because we’re looking forward to the future. Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past, and sometimes we bury our regret by promising to change our ways. But our biggest regrets are not for the things we did but for the things we didn't do, things we didn't say that could have saved someone we care about. Especially when we can see the dark storm that's headed their way.
- William Shakespeare wrote; 'Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds. It is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken. Love alters not with time's brief hours and weeks, but bears it out even to the edge of doom.'
'Gone, gone, baby it's all gone, there's no one on the corner and there's no one at home' ' It was cool, cool, it was just all cool, now it's over for me and it's over for you...' -How Far We've Come, Matchbox Twenty
I started a journey with people who I thought I knew,
Kinda enjoyed it,
Kinda had fun with it,
But everything just came out wrong and the next thing I know is that
there's no one left beside me, and those moments are gone...
'But if you don't dream big, what's the use in dreaming, if you don't have faith, there's nothing worth believing, it takes one hope to make the stars worth reaching for...' -Dream Big, David Cook
I wish that it was easy, keeping dreams to lead our way to our future.
Or it IS easy?
Well, I am just a stupid little coward,
too afraid to have faith in -even- my own dreams.
'And it's you and me, and all of the people, with nothing to do, nothing to prove, and it's you and me, and all of the people, and I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you...' -You and Me, Lifehouse
I wanna do it all night, just me and him, standing side by side,
got nothing to hide, and got nothing to lose.
Even though I know that it is impossible,
but a little part of me -just a little- still hope that someday it will happen.
'Let's make a night to remember,
from January to December,
let's make love to excite us,
a memory to ignite us,
let's make honey baby, soft and tender,
let's make sugar darling, sweet surrender,
let's make a night to remember,
all life long...'
-Let's Make a Night to Remember, Bryan Adams
For all of my friends out there,
let's make a night to remember!
Let's rock our souls!
Erase the bad memories,
and remember the nights we used to share.
But despite all of that, let's just make ONE more night to remember the rest of our lives!
Idus Scott Taylor once wrote 'do not look back and grieve into the past for it is gone. do not trouble the future for it is yet to come. live in the present and make it so beautiful, that it will be worth remembering.'
Life is about who we are, not who we were, and what we do, not what we did.
Life is about making the right choices, even though what we chose are not the best ones.
Life is about moving, moving towards the things we desire.
To live a life is not easy.
We need passion, love, trust, loyalty, understanding, unity, and sometimes stubbornness.
Life is nothing without love.
But love is everything for life.
Lie, is a part of life, also a part of a man.
It might be good, it might be bad.
Some people live with it, but some people get rid of it fast.
Life is also about loving.
Loving family, loving your lover, loving things, loving dreams.
Speaking of dreams, some of us dream of the impossible, and reach for the impossible.
Those are the passionated ones.
See, it all is just about making choices.
Be passionated if you want to.
Be honest so that people trust you.
Let people in, so that people know who you are.

To feel what's not supposed to feel, is not always wrong, but not always right.
But to fear what's not supposed to fear is wrong.
To be afraid is not always wrong, but not always right.
But being afraid to feel afraid is wrong.
To hope something that's impossible is not always wrong, but not always right.
But not to hope something possible is wrong.
To love the life is great.
But to live the love is even better.
So, feel it..
Taste it..
That all love is destined to be great, we are destined to be great.
It's just that some people realized it and some people just don't care.
All we care is winning the game.
No matter what game it is, we just want to win.
From Solitaire games to life games.
That is so, because inside of ourselves, we know that life is about fighting.
Fighting those stupid games.
We are too ambitious to win it.
So that if we won, we want to win again to feel the taste of winning.
In fact, we are addicted to this.
We want money, we have competitors, we join the game, we win,
Then what's next? Is it over?
No, we want more. We compete again.
Even the president want to be a president again though his/her time is up.
Roger Federer wants to win the Wimbledon again,
even if he had won it 4 times.
This is the day that I realized that every thing's gonna change from now.
This is the day that I knew that I have to change, too.
This day, I knew that there's no more blaming school for things that disappoint me.
I also knew that I meant something for my school.
All those things that I already get used to, will vanish.
All that is left is the memory.
I lost a teacher, I lost friends, I lost a soul mate, I even had lost the old me.
However, I got better.
This is the day where I pictured all of my friends to be memorized in the rest of my life.
One picture shows me failure,
One picture shows me grace,
One picture shows me the joy of smiling,
One, just, very disappointing, it shows me dissatisfactions.
And I don't even know how they pictured me earlier.
Well, in all ways, we just want to look good, in every kind of way.
We don't wanna fail, we don't wanna lose.
Because people think 'winning is better than losing'.
One more thing that I discovered in Junior High is regrets.
There are thousands, even millions of regrets that I have.
From small to big,
From kidding to serious,
From friends to teacher,
From task to test,
From school to house,
From myself to people around me.
And my biggest regret is that I am to concern of the small things,
That I forgot to concern of the big things.
But then, regrets are useless,
Fixing the mistakes is better.
And that's what I will do, and always do.
