summer treats 7

Ok, here goes, I have a tiny whiny confession. I don't know what holds me from typing my thoughts or commenting on others' blogs. I read everything, yet when it comes to commenting I just freeze. They say people get tongue tied but for myself, my fingers get tied. I feel that with my simple comment I would either add to how much lame a person I am or what value would my comment add to anyone who reads it. Seriously, I don't even feel brave enough to type a comment. I go through the whole update, click on comment button, type the first word, then it hits me and I close the page. Am I alright? I really have no idea.

Now, I've finished two books, the Cupcake one, it is really good and the Harry Potter one. I'm currently reading a historical memoir, about a Bosnian guy and his family. Ne ways, the book is really good that I started just yesterday and I'm half way through. Although I'm the kind of person who would enjoy reading really slowly just to enjoy the book, even if that meant I had to read it for months.

Other than that, I've been BLUE. Still blue, trying to cope with the depressed me and I'm doing that by either reading, watching series on my laptop or simply forcing myself to sleep. Crying became a hard thing to do.

I'm so im3alga 3ala this song for few days now, hoping my nights are gotta be nights....

On the Bulletin Board:

- Now that I'm sure it is safe, I want the new BBM 5. I feel so outdated not having it.

- Mer7ba group, baskum rdoo, wallah twalaht 3alaikum.

- I started categorizing what kind of food I can eat and what not. I feel like an old lady with no teeth, except I have tormented teeth.

- Twitter started to become boring for me.

- Would like to apologize to all the bloggers for not commenting, sam7oony, I just lose my words.

- I might force myself to go have a ride in the car, as a start some day maybe this week or next week in the neighborhood.

- Is anyone interested in joining a book club? let's start one. If you think it isn't the right time, then maybe after Ramadan.

- Ramadan living room sketched and my sister is sent to check Aluminum for the dome and the so-called South African painter to finalize the garden style I want.

- I finished the major project given to me at work and now I'll be working on the whole kit, woohoo.

Stay tuned,

Ever since I had those metals in my mouth, braces, I've been craving all sorts of food.

Teeth a bit recovering and I just ate several pieces of margarita pizza, I even burned my upper gum, lol. The good thing I did it, I chewed a bit and swallowed the rest. Now, I dont have to depend on soup as my main meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Harry Potter and the HBF was amazing, thanxx Sav and Aimar for suggesting I come along with you guys. It was funny, the romantic attempts. Shame I had to leave before the movie was over. I didn't even see the ending of the film. Probably, you are wondering since I bought the tickets about a week ago, how come I missed it, I had a job interview and couldn't be late. The interview went well I think and it is just me waiting for their reply.

Other than that, I'm going to Jabel AlDhana Hotel and Resort, we booked some chalets and it is beach time, FUN TIME. I'll get back to you guys with as much pictures as I can take. The challenge will be for me to try eat any of the bbq-ed food that will be cooked. I can't wait.

Cooking tip: if you are the type who don't really have much time, try preparing food eg. (spring rolls) ahead of time, put them in a sealed type of plastic bag and in the freezer until needed.

On the Bulletin Board:

- I want Kool Aid, I don't know Saeed's number, I need to get it ASAP before he comes back from the US.

- Holiday means more pics, which means good activity time.

- I need to start with my sister's psychology essay to guarantee her B to A+ grade.

- I miss my friends and our kewl hangouts, (mr7ba group).

- My skins seems to dehydrate on its own, from the heat, although I put moisturizer all the time and drink lots of water.

Off to pack...

So stay tuned,

I've been trying to update for several days now but every time I try I found myself trying to collect the words I lost. And every time I click on that "new post" button I go blank, I have no idea why.

Ne ways, my legs recovered and il7imdillah everything is ok, I even tried wearing high heels and it is working. I'm back to gym-ing which is even better. The second day the incident happened, I've been receiving calls from all over, lol, felt so special. Some said they just wanted to be assured that I'm ok by me saying I'm Fine people, I really am. That day I didn't go to work. It is so funny his summer job thingy. I go really late for two hours and leave and they don't give a shit. For me it is GOOD, more than GOOD, as long as no one is harassing me into commitment. I'm still looking for a job and waiting for other companies to call back, I might just grab the first I get until I find a better one.

Nothing special but on Thursday I had an appointment at the dentist with the orthodontist and rubbers were placed until Monday of this week. Until Monday I had trouble eating for it really did hurt and all I could do was swallow. Today, I went back and I have braces on my upper teeth with purple rubber bands. I look like Ugly Betty and it is so funny how I can't open my mouth widely or the fact that when I close my mouth, it does this weird thing to my lips.

On the Bulletin Board:

- Tickets for Harry Potter already bought and in pocket ready for Thursday.

- Chalet booked, I'm going to the beach for the weekend.

- The only edible food I'm allowed to eat is soft food, and I cant think of any but mashed potatoes and soup.

Stay tuned,

Sizzling Summer Treat 2

It is not just summer treat but a sizzling one too. A week ago, my niece invites me to her birthday pool party. So, yesterday, after work, I went straight away and got her a gift, went home as I pictured the outfit I'm going to wear, which swim suit, what to take with me in my gym bag. Ne ways, it was time to go. I got dressed (treating myself the summer treat), I wore shorts and a sleeveless shirt, had my hair in a lopsided ponytail hairdo, wore very neat sandals and for sure my closed 3abayah. After kissing mom goodbye for the day, she told me to have fun and be careful. I really was. We had fun swimming, floating on floating beds, jumping, splashing, dancing on the edge of the pool, diving, you name it, even drinking fresh cocktail juices while in the pool. Then, it was singing bday song time and having dinner. We sang and the bday girl kept repeating "it is my bday so listen to me, it is my bday so just do as i do...etc" a bit annoying but funny. 7shratna, but this relates to something else happened later. Ne ways, we sang, we sent the cake to be cut into pieces and we were enjoying dinner when SUDDENLY, yeah SUDDENLY and SUDDENLY, I was trying to eat my pizza while pointing my niece's plate for another person to fill it with food and the

large glass table decides to break on my legs without any reason, well no I bet it was from the heat, ne ways, th table breaks, glass all over the place, everybody is fine but Karamilah is SCREAMING AND CRYING AND YELLING HER LUNGS OUT while the others are just jaws dropped looking at me. I kept yelling, until everybody came over, I couldn't move, the pain was stinging, they literally lifted the chair I was sitting on and placed me just beside the flash light in the garden. I remember them running bucket after bucket of water on my legs. They changed me into fresh clothes (minimum amount of clothes- that was really funny and embarrassing and bless you Joey for helping me get dressed) and I was helped to the car. We reached the emergency, they got a me a wheel chair and it took them 3-4 hours for them to clean my wounds, give me an injection, check if there was any glass and all. I left the hospital at about 1:30 am, bless you brother for taking good care of me. He even made me laugh several times. Now, I have scratched all over, my toes are like tiny fat pieces of sausages or fat worms, cut deeply. I found blood on my pajama pants when I woke up. I don't know if I can wear shoes, but what I know is that I went barefoot to the hospital and came back home barefoot. I don't have my car, I don't even know if I can drive it. My bag with my wallet inside it with all my cards are at my sister-in-law's car except for my health card which is with my brother. My gym bag is over at my brother's house. And mom still doesn't know about what happened.

Now, bday girl sends me a message saying I'm so sorry. So, gurl, it aint ur fault. Ops, it isn't your fault hun. It is my destiny. Qadar Allah wama sha2a fa3al. And it definitely isn't your bragging note of "it is my bday...etc. Ne ways, I was n bed and I'm happy not that I can walk but unintentionally my toes are resisting to lay low, the look so funny. I didn't go to work. I don't know if I can go to the gym and I really can't wear heals.

On the Bulletin Board:

- I hate our hospitals with their very stupid rules. (don' try trigger me because I have a long list of complaints)

- Didn't use my Joby tripod yet, can't wait to go out and take pictures.

- I need to book tickets for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, I dunno which to go for, Gold Class or Imax.

- For whoever voted thank you, I will be changing my layout soon inshallah but whatever I'm going to put will be a temporarily one until I find someone who can design a personalized one for me.

The females disease

You sure know it, the CELLULITE. Regardless of the million times my friends, sisters and even strangers say to me that I have a very nice figure, actually amazing, I still feel the cellulite creepy and tickly like insects do when they move on your body. Seriously, it is such an annoying FEMALES DISEASE. I do love the curves I have, I really do and I do get compliments for them but still I want to lose it all. At least I think I need to.

The other day I went and had a consulation at the Doc and she told me that I will lose it all if I do either LPG Lipo Massage or VelaSmooth. Check the links for more info. I might just do it very soon inshallah for a slimmer and tighter body shape.

On the Bulletin Board:

- I miss my friends.

- Ice Age is so funny, "Talk to the Trunk" that'a my new quote.

- Snowboarding is hard, I'll be having a lesson soon.

Stay tuned,

Buckle UP!

I have no idea if I ever mentioned that before, but I noticed that there is a major improvement in people's attitude towards driving like using signals and wear the seat belt. Myself, I don't leave the house without buckling up and whoever sits in the front passenger seat has to buckle up. It is a RULE which only 1 sister breaks and we get to fight in the car because she would never buckle up. If it were to me, I would make people sitting in the back buckle up too. Kids are never to be allowed to sit in the front, I never allow that, I'm afraid not because I'm just afraid, I'm afraid anything would happen, you don't know kilshay b2eed Allah. Yet, I've heard some criticism about we us locals never care to buckle up, are we really that careless?? I don't believe so. What angered me though is that this person is making comparisons between locals in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and their driving attitudes. As if we are not from one country. WTF. Seriously. So, if you don't put on the seatbelt, why don't you do so? And if you do why too? They wouldn't have created something called seatbelt if it wasn't for safety. I don't really know, but it gets on my nerves when people think that not putting the seatbelt makes them some kind of heros or divas. God, it is something so very essential. I even recall getting into the passenger seat in my brother's car and he said, "It is my seat that is making sound so I have to buckle up." He did so after I did, even though the seat I was on didn't make any sounds and the Burger King we were going to go collect some food from was just in the neighborhood. Urrrggghh, please people remember to BUCKLE UP.

This thing also angers me, why don't they stick to their own line, lazem they make chaos. Sho hal faw'6a iy n7n 3aysheen feeha. Ufff, I mean asta'3fr Allah.

Cooking Tip:

- Give yourself a chance to feel like a chef, go to any veggies market and try to get your own veggies, it helps build up recipes in your mind out of scratch.

On the Bulletin Board:

- I'm off to Ski Dbai this afternoon. Wohoo.

- 3anooda, happy birthday girl, may all your wishes come true.

- I have a thing for water now, whatever cup of caffeine should be followed by a cup of water.

- My maid is becoming very nasty, I have no idea why? she's getting on my nerves.

- 10 votes for yes an 6 for no, so yeah I will be changing soon, thank you all for voting.

Stay tuned,
