Wedding & Weekend away

How glam:

I've been away for the past week and alot has happened.

1) Nadz has gone back to Lebanon for her summer vacation. I will miss her. There's very few people whom I can bother anytime and complain to.

2) My bestie got married and it was a joyful event with no tears. Every person will get what they deserve from life. I believe destiny couples us based on our intentions. I hope I get someone whom I can at least live with.

3) I went away with Z and couple of friends to a 'mountain cabin' , swam in the beach and attempted a tan. I feel great now. I so needed that time away considering how stressed out I was because of work. I won't say much else but will allow the pictures to speak for themselves

I wish you all happy weekends to come.

What kind of girl am I?

Took another test:

http://www.blogthings.com/whatkindofgirlareyouquiz/

You are a Brainy Girl!
Whether you're an official student or a casual learner, you enjoy hitting the books.You know a little bit about everything, and you're always dying to know more.For a guy to win your heart, he's got to share some of your intellectual interests. An awesome book collection of his own doesn't hurt either!
<=== I agree 100%

Acceptar del otros

How glam does Dita Von Teese look here?A pat on my shoulder for I am now certified to treat emotional traumas and phobias at level 1. If GOD is willing I will go the distance and be both qualified and certified. How can I get there? It's simple, practice on people around me and try to help them emotionally.

This course hasn't just helped me deal with others, but has altered a major issue in my personality. I have noticed that I am more accepting of people for being different. The Professor keeps on reminding us that with every single person on this earth (no exception), behind each action, there's a good intention and a bad intention.

Example 1)

A thief has just robbed an old woman. Bad intention says: he's a nasty one who doesn't care about the poor old woman. Good intention says: he only did that to prove to his friends that he's a stud. <== And we should only consider the good intention.

Example 2)

An employer returns the employees project proposal. Bad intention says: He doesn't want this employee to be promoted. Good intention says: He is pushing his employee to explore his full potential.

If we always consider the good intentions behind other people's actions, first we become less judgmental, and then we become more accepting and finally we start being more sympathetic towards others.

Let this post serve as a reminder for the future.

I have also found myself clashing less with mother and being more relaxed around her, therefore cooling her down in the process. That's always the first step. If you intend to change or help someone, they should be relaxed enough around you, trust you and break down all communication barriers.

I hope this info benefits you too.

Bathroom personality test

I took another blogthing test:

http://www.blogthings.com/whatdoyourbathroomhabitssayaboutyouquiz/

And here are my results which I guess are somewhat true:

You are very independent and self-centered. You don't solve other people's problems - and you don't expect them to solve yours.

You spend a lot on clothes, and you tend to be a very dresser. However, it's hard for you to throw away trendy clothes when they go out of style.

You are a little shy and easily embarrassed. You often wonder if you are normal.

In relationships, you tend to take care of your needs first. You can only be with someone who's as independent as you are.

And the 5th Harry Potter film was awesome. Go watch it.

Some people just never change

Beautiful things:____________________________

1. I asked La Vache if she liked the latest section she's been rotated to. "No, it's full of Indians", she replied. Man, what's wrong with Indians? Aren't they human too? Of course I didn't say anything, I just smiled.

2. I was showing some party pictures to the girls at work, and guess who else came running, curiously? No one but La Vache.

3. I pointed out the most fun wedding singer (Wafa), and everyone commented on how lively she is. Then someone commented on how she always matched her dress to the wedding decor. That was sweet, most heads shook in agreement. But of course, La Vache says: Check out her rags. Now how nasty was the last comment?

I believe that some people remain nasty for life.

I believe that some people never change.

But I also believe strongly, that most people get what they deserve in life.

And finally, I believe that God has a plan for us all.

Personality disorder

Open Spaces, love em:__________________________

I'm not sure how this will translate but after taking a personality test, it turns out that I have a sadistic personality in that I unintentionally cause myself much stress and agony. Is this true in any way?

Yummy for my tummy

Ice cream or Julian?

Knock on wood

Touch wood.

Keep your fingers crossed.

I think me and La Vache are going to be just fine.

God, I always knew you had a plan. (wink)

Smooth-talker

I was shopping at Bershka a few weeks ago and as I approached the till a pop-star look-alike served me. He complimented my glasses and I thanked him with a smile. I asked him who remixed the CD playing at the shop because I'd like a special copy made for me. He said he sold them, 100dhs a copy. I left my contact name and number.

4 weeks onwards I heard from him. He said my CD was ready, so I offered to pick it up at a local shopping area. He came over as I was waiting for him, sipping my fruity drink, stayed for 5 minutes only.

Within these 5 minutes, he commented on: how smart I appeared, how I appeared too good for anyone else, how slim I am, how good I looked, and in the middle of all that, he asked me to help him find a job. Then he asked if he could take me to the piscine??

A few years ago, I might have been naive enough and giggled, perhaps even fallen for such talk. The whole time I was smiling, you know why? Simply because now I know better.

A letter to the past

Furniture:
______________________________

Copied from another website [Insert FFWD 2009: Who am I kidding?]

Dear Agent 009 [Insert FFWD April 2010, your obsession with number 9 is because you were 9 on the High School Soccer team back in the 90s],

I woke up this morning with many thoughts clouding my forehead. You could see a few frown lines already developing. I didn't think of you with love, but with relief. Yes, I am relieved that I no longer view you in that heightened way.

You see, when I first met you I thought you were everything I have ever wanted in a partner. In the books, you seemed more than perfect: open-minded, good-looking, smart, powerful, well-behaved, well-dressed, from a prominent family. I always questioned whether you were too good to be true. And being a woman, my 6th sense is known to be very strong. It didn't take long for my instincts to prove themselves right.

You were anything but perfect. Beneath that picture-perfect exterior, loomed a man with horrible morals. Someone obsessed with power that he will step over others, lie and betray just to reach the top.

How many hearts have you broken? How many girls have you lied to? How many women have you cheated on? And how many females have you used? But most important of all, how many enemies have you made in the process?

You always liked to have the last word in everything, and alot of us do too. But we do not obsess with every individual and every incident. If a girl said no to a sexual approach, there is no need for any revenge. You won't always get every girl you want, and everything your heart desires?

Or maybe that explains why your life has become meaningless since you seem to have conquered it all?

I look at you and thank the Lord above for being an average citizen of this world, with hopes and dreams and normal insecurities and complexities. Life truly is sweeter from my point of view. I still have mountains to conquer and goals to achieve. I still have objects to buy and places to see. I still have people to meet and love. I have my whole life head of me and I intend to enjoy and make the most of it.

I do not hate you , NO. Instead, I am very grateful that our paths have crossed for I never would have become what I am today had I not gone through agony with you. Because of you, I have learnt about the goodness in me. It was always there but you unleashed it and tamed me. So Grazie.

And ofcourse, I am mostly relieved that I now know better and my obsession with you is nearly over. And one more thing, I don't just deserve better but will get it too.

So farewell monsieur, I leave you in peace, with a smile and gratitude, And if you ever cross my mind, then I shall smile whilst reminiscing the good moments and hope that I am able to hold my tears in.

I leave you, humming to You Were Always On My Mind by no one other than the King himself :

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you

Quite as often as I could have

Little things I should have said and done

I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I’m sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind

Who is better?

Interior Design Inspo:_____________________________

I know 2 girls and they have more in common than differences. And it will be easier to summarize their differences:

1. I met (A) at university; while I met (B) at a party.

2. (A) may be naughty (who knows) but pretends to be chaste; (B) admits to her naughty behavior and the fact that she's been with a few guys.

I like (B) more and prefer her company. She is that much more interesting. And I always sense a sincereness in her actions.

In my agenda, (B) is much better. But according to this judgemental society, (A) is better simply because she's never been with a guy (or no one has seen her in action). So, we've left all morals and good deeds aside and concentrated on 'purity'? How unfair is that? And once again, how come (society) judges her for what she does in her own free time?

Once again, I find another reason why I simply cannot blend in here and accept their standards. A few years away have taught me a different set of standards that I cherish.

1. I try my best not to be judgemental

2. I mind my own bussiness

3. I respect people because of the way they treat me, not because of who they are.

Going against the family / culture / society tide is scary. Its waves are so turbulent and aggressive and once thrown at sea, there's a big chance I'll drown. Right now, I am walking the deck with my hands tied together and so many people from this society sticking swords in my back and pushing me further towards the end-line.

If I jump, I will swim and I will find the closest shore to save myself.

Coveted item du jour:

This swimming pool, which reminds me of the one in YSL's moroccon mansion.

Notes

-Premonition was a good movie mainly because Julian is the current hottie.

-Either there is something seriously wrong with me or there's more of me. I seem to like work in general and love it when the boss dumps more work on me and not the others. I am always eager to be given all the work, always thinking I am being favored this way. Somehow foolish perhaps.

-Madre has suggested I take my sisters with me on my next trip. I was hoping to have some fun. Then again, I may need some company and help.

- La Vache is truly a vache, and she should be labelled that way in the Oxford dictionary.

- Wildcat's sister is here with her bebe, and I must squeeze some time and go to see her.

- And I still haven't seen Ocean 13.

MacGyver

There was an American 15 year old boy at Summer camp, who could play the piano amazingly. I thought I was pretty good but this boy proved to me that I was rubbish. I thought he was pretty amazing because he could play the theme to MacGyver and Murder She Wrote, and that to me was awesome!! That summer and experience as a whole were pretty awesome themselves.

I still like MacGyver's theme and just added it onto my ipod list.

Why?

Negative:
God, oh God oh God, WHY WHY WHY?

Why are you punishing me so much?

I know I'm a drama queen and that most people enjoy my facial expressions, and I hope you're not throwing into my life more dramas just to see me in action?

What I asked for was simple: just keep La Vache away from me, VOILA!!

------------------------------------------------------

Positive:

You may have a plan, but it's so tough. In all this, there's a huge hidden compliment for me. It's that I'm strong enough to take it all.

So bring it on.
