Why soccer /football is awesome?

Hi everyone, how are you doing? I'm doing okay anyway. 
well in this post, I would like to share some stuff which I hope could inspire you. it's about the benefits of playing soccer, or why soccer is a good good game.. by the way, why did I choose soccer whereas there're many other good sports? First one, because personally I do find myself enjoy watching and playing (not really playing actually) soccer, and the next reasons you may find out below: 


Basically sports educe stress, and increase physical and mental health, all while having fun. Soccer/Football is one of the most popular and widely played team sports in the world. The game of football involves two teams of eleven players, a referee, a ball and two goals. Physically, it is taxing sport as it involves accelerating, decelerating, jumping, cutting, pivoting, turning, heading and kicking the ball. That's why I find that playing soccer or football is much better than a regular monotonous jogging. 


Here are some other benefits of playing soccer/football:

  • Increase muscle strength: Soccer is great for your overall muscle tone as it is a game of constant movement which keeps your muscles engaged over long periods of time. Chasing your opponent, blasting the ball for a goal and jumping for headers are all exercises that build muscle in your legs.
  • Cardiovascular Health: Playing soccer involves constant shifts between walking, running and sprinting, which helps the heart by making it work more efficiently during exercise and at rest.
  • Bone Strength: egular bouts of high-impact exercise like football puts pressure on your bones which can help boost your bones, and prevent osteoporosis later in life
  • Weight loss: A 45 minute game of football probably can burn about 350 calories. It also increases metabolism so you will also keep using extra calories for 48 hours after the game because your metabolic rate stays higher.
  • Improves coordination, agility and balance: Playing soccer involves complex movements like dribbling, quickly changing direction and passing performed at varying rates of speed which improves your body coordination, agility and balance. Kicking the ball and receiving the pass from someone improves your hand to eye coordination.
  • Stress buster: Soccer can have positive effects on how you feel. It can improve your mood, raise your self-esteem, reduce stress and help you sleep better.
  • Social Skills: Soccer provides a stage where people can learn and practice their social skills. You will inevitably meet and become friends with other people from different backgrounds and different cultures. Playing soccer means working as a team member, picking each other up, experiencing the highs and lows, supporting and helping others. It teaches you to think in broader terms where personal goals are pushed aside by team goals. You can build a team spirit and have fun at the same time.

Other benefits include:
  • Builds flexibility and endurance.
  • It teaches to think on-the-go.
  • Helps to increase skills in concentration, persistence and self-discipline.
  • It teaches determination, responsibility, and patience.
I think, soccer / football is more than that, moreover soccer or football could bring peace, as a conflict solving media such as Iraq (2007 AFC) and Lebanon, (Why Indonesia couldn't?):D



So reasons above that make me think that Soccer or football is an awesome sport!


"Peace, love, and a beautiful game!"

Reveal the Perfume that Suits your Personalities


Everyone has his or her own unique fragrance personality. This fragrance personality describes why some people enjoy perfumes that are fruity while others prefer florals, musks, or oriental aromas. A renowned perfumer Jean Guerlain who's also a designer of L'instan de Guerlain and Shalimar stated that Perfumes are thought to have personalities all of their own, because people wear fragrances as well as perfumes for several reasons such as to be attractive, seductive, but for me is much more for mood improver to feel refreshed and as a self-confidence improver. 
 Below are the description of personality and fragrance's types.


Feminine Perfume Personality
Individuals who enjoy classical music, who vacation in rural settings and who favor the color pink, are often found to love the feminine aroma of floral scents.

L.A.M.B by Gwen Stefani
Badgley Mischka EDP
Fruity Perfume Personality
People who love rock music and the color yellow and who will pamper themselves with activities such as a day at the spa are often found to like a fruity type of fragrance. R & B music fans that like the color green and who’s ideal get away would be something like a lakeside resort, lean towards fragrances that derive from the natural oils in the stem of plants and leaves.






Fresh Sugar Lychee
Acqua Di Parma 




Oriental Perfume Personality
People that listen to jazz as their music of choice and vacation in exotic locations and pick purple as their favorite color often opt for scents that are oriental. The fragrances these individuals pick are composed of ingredients containing heavy flowers, musk and vanilla. Oriental scents also referred to, as ambers are sexy, passionate, and powerful. 


YSL Opium















Guerlain Mitsosuko EDP

















The Body Shop White Musk EDP


















Woody Perfume Personality

A day at the beach, sushi, and a love of the color blue is often found in those who enjoy the clean, refreshing aroma of an ocean scent. On the flip side, are the people who are stylish jetsetters at heart, who love intense spicy foods and long passionate nights. These people will be found reaching for a fragrance that has a deep woody aroma.

Being an introvert or an extrovert goes a long way in influencing the fragrance that would be best suited for your personality. It is important to let your sense of smell guide you in picking your fragrance, however, make certain to let your unique qualities lead you as well.

Delicate Perfume Personality
Your personality and fragrance choices should connect well to best impact the effect you have on others. For example, people who are sporty will often choose fragrances that are fresh light and clean. These perfumes allow the individual a delicate scent without being too heavy or overbearing.

Sensual Perfume Personality
People who are very outgoing and optimistic typically enjoy fragrances that are fruity. While sensual personalities will lead to sensual scents that make a confident statement about who they are. As can be expected, one naturally goes with the other, therefore, these individuals opt for musky perfumes that have a long-lasting effect, especially on members of the opposite sex.
