New Rules / Latest News

Sorry Sav, I promised that I would update yesterday, but I got tired after helping my sister with her proposal, so I slept, hehe. Actually hardly slept, coz whenever I'm in Dubai I share a room with either of my sisters and guess what she sleeps noisily. She killed me, couldn't help it but be happy when she woke up at 6am. I slept until 8:30 to see her over my head saying "yallah let's go, or give me your visa card and I'm going to withdraw some money." I gave it to her but I couldn't sleep no more. She is utterly the noisiest person I ever had to live with, lol, but, she is my sister and I can't avoid her or even live without her. After all, she is the one who cares and stresses herself if ne 1 go hurt or anything, in simple words "She Worries a lot."

So, RULES, yes what rules. Hmm, to be honest I'm not sure if I'm going to follow them but I'm sure Sav is going to go crazy if I don't take them seriously, haha. I think they've had enough of my serious migraine situation and many Dr. friends were included in the decision, so I have to follow a-list-that-wont-end of RULES, to overcome what I'm in.

1- Stop stressing myself and worrying about everything - it might be a cause for those headaches.
2- A small spark of light = a start of a headache, if it happens I have to take painkillers straight away and avoid the atmosphere I'm in. Example, if I'm in class, I have to leave and breathe deeply. (Dr. said so, so no1 can blame me when I just turn around and march the oher way without explaining).
3- Relax my brain, think in simple terms and let more oxygen in when I feel it coming back.
4- Avoid eating anything I like when it comes back like - e7m cheese and chocolate.
5- No more tea and coffee for karamilah. Back to herbal drinks.
6- 2 hours max of continuous work on the computer, then relax for few hours and back again to work. (that's a bit hard).
7- sit in a room with the proper amount of light. (I like dim light, but no more, they come and pull the curtains up even when the lights are turned on in my room).
8- Eat healthy food and stop starving myself. I do starve myself when I don't know what to eat and I have to stop it. (This is hard, what if I can't think of anything to eat).
9. Bad smells and strong ones too can cause headaches like (bad odor, oh my and that's everywhere and it kills me, another is petrol, lots of smoke from b5oor stuff, a bad perfume, the smell of dusty air...etc).
10- No more awkward sitting positions while watching tv, or reading or even using the computer. What if I'm tired of sitting straight all the time. (Ok this one is big No No, not doing it no matter what).
11- The list goes on, I just am enough of listing the new rules.

And now, the latest news.
Not that I want to become drama queen, it just happens to be. I've been told that if I'm worried or have something in my mind, I do act that I'm busy and sound so, and that I even speak in a formal way and very fast. Is it true, maybe. Ask the people around me, I wont judge. Ne ways, I have no idea why I keep feeling that life is going very fast and I have to keep myself in the same pace or I will trip and stay behind. Ok that's too much to think of.

On the Bulletin Board:
- Other news, Chris and Felix are already here. I can't believe it that Dubai didn't give us a permit.
- I became a spend thrift.
- Am I the only one who sees things are way much expensive than they were months not few years ago. Other than Sav too. The thing is I've had enough making a face and asking mom for more every time. So, what I do is that when I have the money I spend it and when I don't I shut my trap up.
- I saw a gorgeous shoes, I didn't get it.
- Sav, you know it is important that you give me your opinion on my purchases. I feel sorry I couldn't show it to you on video call. I think it is important, so stop saying that I can buy whatever I like without assistance coz I know but I need your opinion.
- I feel my head sending tingling messages from time to time. Hurts shway.
- I went to the party. Had a great time with the kids. Took amazingly beautiful pics. Surprisingly I was able to mingle properly with them, they were so adorable. Unfortunately I didn't swim and Sav says it's better ( to be more precise, she said, "A7san").
- I don't feel like starting with any assignment but I have to stop blogging to relax for about an hour or so so I can use the computer again. (e7m, trying to follow rules).

So, until the next update, wish me good luck and chaws.

In points...

So - life sux big time.
More pressure is given and more load to figure out as well as settling my personal life.

I study for a test and the same afternoon check to see that I flunked. haha, very good, isn't it.
Happy with my Arabic standard lately. Il7imdillah, I'm so proud of myself.
Doing ok with the ICDL tests, 3 to go and 2 retests for I missed them when I was having a break in Egypt.
PR, not sure if I like it ne more. The only good thing is that we are done with the Glocom project.
The fashion supplement is about to be out, ehm, actually tomorrow.
Chris and Felix are coming very soon, Abu Dhabi gave us permit but didn't hear anything from Dubai.
I need to start with website project sketches, as well as work on the art hierarchy website mock-up.
My wrist still hurts. Will make an appointment at the Dubai Bone and Joint center, maybe it is the best choice to my treatment for carpal tunnel. It hurts.
Since my hand/wrist hurts, I bought a pen tablet to work on my designs and assignments.
Tomorrow is fun day, I don't know if my simple dress is going to suit the event. I'll be taking photos but if I couldn't resist will be changing into my swimming suit and play with the kids, haha, can't miss it.

Drama of the day started yesterday at about 2:30 pm., migraine started kicking. I dunno how I reached home, but il7imdillah I did safely, ehm, drove fast to stay alert. Slept straight away without thinking. Woke up, went to Farsha's house, we worked on the glocom last assignment, went home, got me coffee before going home, talked with mom for a while, migraine still kicking, took painkillers and slept, I have no idea how. About 4 or 5 am, woke up with the eye mask on my eyes, pulled my cell phone and since I have #'s on speed dialing system, I pushed on a random # and called, I couldn't help it, I needed some help immediately. My two sisters came over, took me to the emergency and all the way I tried my best not to open my eyes for bright light hurts them more, as I was shivering all the way. Been given an injection, left to rest for few minutes and discharged. I slept straight away, the medicine was good enough to make me go to bed without thinking of anything. Few hours later I woke up with the headache cruising various parts of my head. I started shivering again. Yes, I got sick again. Received many calls and msgs, among them my sisters' telling me to eat something, which I had a hard time doing since I turned plates back to the kitchen. I didn't feel like eating anything. Was forced to eat, so I ate eventually, took two tabs of panadol and laid down for a while since I wasn't allowed to use the computer and read any books. My bro came to see how I was doing, I managed to get out of bed and watch him play his favorite soccer team on PS3. We then decided to watch a movie. The headache gradually started to ease. Now, headache is better, tingling head, but better, so I'm finally allowed to use the computer. Typing with my hand and wrist wrapped and thinking of what to start with. I just hope, I feel better tomorrow to be able to attend class and then prepare for the party. :) *slight smile*

Ne ways, I mentioned mystery guy last update, he is no mystery person, just some work for the documentary my friend and I are helping Chris and Felix with.

He is one of those incredible minded guyz who went on the camel trek, and when I asked how did you accomplish it, he said, "We thought of it, and we did it" so check the video, there are 4 parts.



No on the bulletin board section this time, for the update is all in points.

If I could PS myself I would say: I miss the old days, when everything was just beautiful with life's ups and downs.
So, I better go rest.

Until next update, chawz.

Weekended...

I weekended, not a word but I made it up, in Dubai. So, I've planning it between myself and I a week ago, and when mom said that she wants to attend the wedding in Dubai, I told myself, that's it. Went to my sister and told her that mom wants to go, how about all of us go together and it worked.

It all started on Thursday, Bluey was ready to be picked up from the Doc. My nephew, since my useless brother was asleep, took me to pick her up. I called before, and I was told by the service adviser who took charge of my dear Bluey that some stuff had been changed an I was to pay a specific amount of money. I don't mind paying but I was so angry that I wasn't included in the picture. It actually pissed me off because I told him before changing anything I want to know every step taken. So, I was calm enough over the phone and when I reached there I blew up. Couldn't resist not explaining how irresponsible their action toward their customer is. I wanted to talk to the manager to make him aware of what is happening but the service adviser himself went and talked to him. So, I had my time looking at cars and discussing what's new and when will a specific car arrive and so on with the sales man until the adviser comes back. 6ab3an, he apologised, ehm, after all even though I was pissed, he broke my heart. I got my baby back, driving her around makes feel more comfortable, I dunno what I would do without her, hehe.

Before that, I slept at 3:something am. on Thursday. Designed a page for the Fashion magazine and then couldn't sleep. So, I made a point that I should read a bit of the chapter assigned from the Research Method's text, but I got bored after reading 2 and 1/2 pages. Therefore, I told myself, it is time to sleep but again I couldn't. Turned the light on, did install some new updates on my laptop, back to bed, couldn't sleep, opened my novel, started reading, couldn't sleep, stayed thinking, left the light on, forced myself to sleep and I eventually did. At 7 am, alarm rings, put it on snooze, 9 mins later rings again, turn it off, back to sleep. 7:45 am, wake up, get ready, 8:20 am. driving to uni, reached early since I was driving fast, (Zuba did a great job for two days), went to the office, wasted 10 mins from my class, went to class and sat in the back row. Made some fuss about the questions, wrote the ans down, asked some questions. Class ended, it was very early to leave, so went to the office, helped with other designs and before I left, took a design to fix.

Dropped Zuba home, had a ride with my nephew, went to take Bluey. Took Bluey home, worked on design, and slept for an interrupted hour by calls. Woke up, packed my bags (ehm, I always have so many bags, mom is always surprised.) 1. bag for skiing gear 2. small suitcase for my clothes. 3. bag for shoes 4. laptop bag. Too much, not really, lol. It is either this way or a huge luggage. haha. That was the last bit of my day in Abu Dhabi.

As soon as I reached Dubai, settled, I went to Aunt's home and the next minute, I'm getting ready to leave with my cousin to some gathering at another cousin's college. I just don't feel like staying at home.

Today is Friday, woke up late, suffering a bit from cramps, a lot actually, going to check my cousin if she feels like going out, if not, I will borrow a car and leave. I'm so feeling lonely among all those people around and weak.

Will go drop the bomb on mom, I'm not going back to AD yet, not until I meet mystery guy.

On the bulletin Board:
- Remembering makes me cry...
- Trying to accomplish more but the glocom project is getting on me. How should I know everything about KSA?? God help me.
- My diet is getting scrambled, I'm going unhealthy again.
- Lack of sleep.
- Hair falling more than ever, I feel like cutting it so short, but mom will get angry, have to convince her first.

Until then, chaws

Egypt - So Embarrassing...

So, my title says Egypt then So Embarrassing, but I will start with the embarrassing issue before I talk about my trip to Egypt.

So, I made an appointment for Bluey, she has her annual checkup at the doctor. My nephew, love you and god bless you and happy 19th birthday to you, took my baby for me, since I had an ICDL exam. So, I'm using my sister's car for some time, but not anymore. Ok, I did the test and then my friend and I went to get the money for the sold ads and all that time, the car didn't cause any trouble. On my way home at 2:30 pm. the car started heating up, so I parked the car, called my sister, all she said was drive slowly and turn off the AC. I did as told and drove directly to the agent, when I was a turn away from the agency, the damn car decides to shut down, THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE! Yes it stopped. Wallah 6masha, in the heat and humidity and hunger (had no breakfast but a cup of milk), I felt so embarrassed. A guy stopped his car, 7lailah, he had kids with him, he helped me. I can't be grateful to all what he's done by only saying thank you. I really am thankful. So, I my brother, he is at uni, I call the driver, and thank goodness he was not off to the farm yet. The biggest joke of my life happened at that moment, seeing guys driving by very fast to have a look, how shameful. I don't have a car now, will probably have to ash7at another one for tomorrow. I want my Bluey.

Ne ways, I'm back from Egypt, what did I do, Nothing. Sleeping was one of the main things done and going for medical check-ups. Nothing interesting happened, I just had a chance to breathe and relax, yet not much since I'm probably getting sick soon. I do have this feeling.

Other than that, I'm just tired, going away for a while wasn't satisfying enough, I just can't wait for the summer break to start, maybe then my life will restart itself again.

On the bulletin Board:
- Wrist still hurts, but better.
- I slept in a wrong position and I have a stiff shoulder muscle.
- Hopefully will me meeting an interesting person over the weekend, will let you ppl know about that then.
- Doing no progress on the Fashion Magazine, I feel guilty and an article isn't enough.
- I started hating PR just a bit.
- Again, I'm tired and sick of everything.
- Life doesn't give us all what we want and even if we are hurt, everyday is a new day and everyday we have a new smile. Life goes on but memories don't fade away...
- I think I need a new layout.

Will keep you with some pictures of my trip to Egypt,
and until then, chawz.
