Lawyer's wedding

A winter wonderland wedding :______________________________

Good fortune I feel is finally smiling at me. Long gone are those miseries, the jealousies, the snide attempts to make me feel inferior, those childish mind games won't work anymore. I am back with a little bit of vengeance. I am stronger, more confident, smarter, a bigger achiever and a hell lot cooler person. I understood what was happening all those years at school but now I've put a name to that action: BULLYING. Yes, I was bullied for being a hybrid and those pure bloods were always meant to be superior to hybrids and they wouldn't let me bask in the sun of my achievements and glory now would they?

Pure bloods, mud-bloods, ukh. Get over it people & Take these words to heart:

ليس الفتى من قال ذاك ابي بل الفتى من قال هاانذا

Anyhow, I went to an old schoolmate's wedding and bumped into so many of my ex-classmates and I felt great. The little mouse has become the star of the show now and I am so grateful to have had the opportunities that came my way and allowed me to broaden my horizons.

Why am I so evil?

The Devil in me popped out for 10mins today. I found out that someone who has hurt me immensely in the past is suffering from meningitis. I was elated in the first few moments thinking, it serves her right for hurting me. But I felt guilty very soon after that. Here's the worrying bit. I felt guilty for my initial sentiments, and I still do not feel any sympathy towards her. I have grown cold, very cold when it comes to certain people. So, I will look at the brighter, more positive side of things: I care no more and I am no longer revengeful.

My 1st peep show

Fashionista created the 'coveted item du jour' idea and I shall have my own too. I'll kinkify it a lil and call it my 'Peep show of the day' and it will simply be a peep into my day by the display of a few photos. Again, so sorry to disappoint some of you, but for many reasons this blog is rated ((12)). Shall we?

Family Affairs

I've been closely considering each one of my sibling's talents and was truly impressed. My siblings are too talented for their own good and if we only got over our differences and put our heads together, we could make a very successful corporation that the country would envy.

One of them is by far the best graphic designer I have come across. And I am talking out of experience. I've dealt with 6 graphic designers in the past year and none of them were as creative. They've got the computer skills but not the creativity.

Another younger one is also as creative, but not just with graphics. She's amazing with arty crafts handiwork at a time where most people have given up on cutting, sticking, coloring and drawing and have diverted their attention to electronic pens, detection pads, smudging and burning tools in photoshop and illustrator.

A third sibling, although full of sarcasm, bitterness and instability is crazy enough to come up with dramatic films, TV advertisements, cartoons and caricatures.

Now this other sibling is a good-looking, smooth-talker who can get get into nearly anyone's pants. Might have even fooled me had I been young and naive one day. So I bet this one would make a great sales person and PR officer.

The rest are too sweet and cute but obey well and would fill most other gaps.

Then where does this leave me? Why, I would make a great CEO ofcourse, lol. My opinion of why I would fit that job well? I'm dominating enough to make teams work and people listen to me, yet I have compassion on the side and would listen to my teams complaints; My biggest skill is my ability to organize teams, papers, jobs..etc. and I make sure everything that passes through my hands is of the best quality and nearly perfect.

So with all these skills concentrated in one family, why not start a company and this way, at least we get dedicated staff, we keep money in the family and most importantly we can be as vocal and verbal in the meeting room and not have to worry about etiquette or being fired.

Let me share with you all a family heirloom which mother dearest has already passed on to me since she believes I will take good care of them, yupiiee!!

Everybody Loves Yours Truly

Title a la Everybody loves Raymond_____________________________

A colleague remembered me from a wedding after only meeting me once beforehand. Seems like I have one of those memorable faces. Or else, how would you explain a guy sitting 2 tables away at a restaurant for 45mins, 6 years ago, seeing me in my element, then seeing me now, dressed more adult-like after all those years and recognizing me as that girl? And no, he does not like me or else he would have contacted me by now and it's been 5 years.  I must have one of those faces.

Also, Nothing will make me more big-headed than my current doters.  

I've got Bree from work, showering me with compliments all the time and buying me a gift every month.

I've got Hala wishing that her daughter would grow up to be just like me one day.

I've got the other departments complimenting my creativity and nearly every day.

I've got work colleagues who will not have a tea break without me since it's boring otherwise.

I've got friends who will insist on me being there in every outing, party and wedding since I get things moving and make the atmosphere fun.

Yes everybody loves your truly and it's okay, they're entitled to, but what scares me is when I realize I have a very memorable face that everyone remembers. Crap, I cannot be naughty and have fun without being 'recognized'. This does explain a lot of events from the past, sigh!!

Loveable Sedeso, chuckle. (",)

Can't wait

11 weeks till my coming trip and I cannot wait. I've been fantasizing about this prolonged trip for over a year now and there are about 11 weeks left. I seriously cannot wait until I get on that plane and order my chicken mini-meal. And as soon as I land, I'll top-up my Vodafone number and I'll carry the biggest grin ever as I step out into the winter cold air of my beloved Londres.

I've made plans with everyone and my days will be filled with healthy lunches, fancy dinners, full cream chinos over life-related discussions, shopping the sales, sleepovers, midnight trips to McDonalds, strolling through parks with 99p icecreams, vintage markets, and many many more stuff (",)

Please

GOD,

Please grant me this wish. I've been begging you for it for a decade now, literally. I've been so good for the past 3 years and I've been patient too. Please, pretty please, give me the LOVE that I need the most. I beg you.


Love,

Stardust

Just got back from another movie and I would like to add it to my favorite list because for the umpteenth time this year, I was transported into another mystical world, where the forces of evil will always be vanquished at the end, and where good kicks evil's ass. A beautiful star falls onto this earth into a magic village and she represents immortality since stars never die. A witch and a prince want her immortality. A shy boy wants her to prove his 'love' for another. Ugh this world we live in is too boring and there's nothing magical about it. I long to live in another 'magical' , 'mystical', 'bewitching', 'enchanted', 'spellbound' world.
------------------------------------------------------------
Got in touch with an old schoolmate today and I was surprised to find out that 3 ex-school mates married foreigners. One went to Italy, fell in love with an Italian and married him and is now living there. Another went to study in Germany, loved a German and married him and is now settled there. And the 3rd will soon get hitched to an American / Pali. How interesting. 

By the by, to me, the best Romeo and Juliet version was Zifferelli's 1968 edition. Don't you agree?

Nobel Peace Prize

AlGore wins the Nobel Peace Prize as he is the single individual who has raised the most awareness about global warming and climatization issues. When I was still a juvenile, I always thought that you had to be super-duper smart to win a Nobel Prize. Now I know it's much more than that.

Blog: Green

At the mere mention of the environment. everyone thinks green, green food, green pastures, green leafy trees, and recycling.

I shall enlighten you on what green means in other religions.

First of all, the Heaven that good Muslims will go to in their afterlife is always described as a Green Picturesque Landscape. I'd like to go to heaven one day and I hope I'm one of the lucky ones who go without passing by hell first. I am slowly morphing into a better more pious person and I'm loving it. The occasional rebellious vixen only pops out for a short while less frequently as time goes by and even when she does pop out she causes no harm at all to anyone. Hmm, maybe I like that vixen part in me and I'd like to keep her tamed ofcourse.

Second come 'green hands'. In culture, when we refer to someone as having green hands we mean that they are generous and giving, always considerate of others before themselves. Selfless people in other words.

Mhendi is green in powdery form and in most eastern cultures girls adorn their hands with designs to show happiness and celebration.

Vintage twin classics

Guess what? I was able to get my hands on more of the twin set vintage classics. Woohoo. Check this out mates. 3 sets of vintage twins yet to find. Can't wait for my collection to be complete.
________________________________
Right now, I am reading " The Interpretation of Murder". The only reason I bought is was because the summary linked it to Sigmund Freud and I have been interested in everything psychological ever since I took NLP classes. (the classes that changed my life and actually made me a happier person).

Considering, my tad extra bit of knowledge in the field now, I have noticed something and I do not know how accurate it is or what I can link it to but here it goes.

Either men are 2 faced or they are forgetful half-witted ignoramuses. Why do I say this? Because about 8 months ago, an egotistical male colleague of mine went on a management 3-day course. When he finished it he described it as amazing and even told me he'll teach me all new ideas. He recommended me to go on a short course myself at the same institute.

Last week, as we checked our mail, he opened that institute's newsletter and called them useless, ripping people off and charging them for ideas any moron would know.

Another example: Agent 009 told me all that was missing from his place was a huge stereo system. 2 months later, I ask when am I helping to shop for this stereo system and he says he never wanted one in the first place so that he wouldn't disturb his neighbors.

Why do men change their assurances, words and ideas so easily and believe themselves all over again? I don't get this and I have noticed it with so many 'Arab' men and it worries me slightly. I guess in the future I'll have to be the decision maker.

Coveted items du jour:
This Burberry bag and shoes on Fergie.



Burberry is so haute right now. See!!
Oooh yeah, and another thing, once more I do like my men tall [insert FFWD April 2010: Who are you kidding honey?].

I am so pissed off!!!!!!!

A Kuwaiti interior design store:____________________________________

I am still very angry, and I cannot for the time being get over how spiteful that uneducated asshole is. He is costing me alot at work. He wants war. I'll give him war. I'm a fighter and I never give up easily. And I kinda know how to deal with assholes like that. I can be a bitch too.

More importantly, I should find out now his weakness. There's nothing better than blackmail. So what is it? The dead wife? His daughters? I should stop being nice all the time.

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

One thing I am very worried about is the position I will be getting next week. I will have people working under me. And I am scared because I am a dominating woman by nature. I tend to be strict with everyone including my family. I love rules and I am at my best when everyone is following the rules. I hate slackers and lazy people. When I'm angry I can scream my head off. (rare but it does happen occasionally). I must learn to be more in control of my anger. I hope that I will be fair in charge. Only time will tell. In the meantime, I should learn to relax.

Uneducated men

3 men I have known, all were 30plus years old. I found it very hard to deal with them, because although they were all kind in one way, their worst quality was their stubbornness and inability to be understanding. (Note: I did not date any of them, I simply had to deal with them)

Object A: Married twice with children and a low-paying job.

Object B: Married and cheating with one child and a low-paying job.

Object C: Widowed and with children and a medium paying job with a high rank in a friends company.

These 3 men haven't even finished their high school education. I will not look down at them, no way. I never consider others inferior, just different. But I've simply noticed that their acceptance of others' morals are nonexistent. Their lack of confidence makes them fiercer fighters. It's either their way or no way at all. They do not realise that if you're not that religious of a person, you can still have decent morals. To them, educated women are prone to be sinful and make useless wife material. Educated women, with their noses stuck in the web, their 'ideas', ideals, and opinions are unacceptable. Gosh, I resent such men. Oh, what a waste!!

Maybe, it's just me, but I have noticed that an educated man's insecurities can ruin most relationships, especially if the woman they are dating carries a higher qualification.

Excuse my ramblings and let's talk some fashion.




Some creations are pieces of art like this Jay Ahr dress.

Clueless

To me, the first and true Fashionista was Cher (Alicia Silverstone) from Clueless. She defined girliness in the 90's.

Before her debut in this movie, I never knew that girls could be pretty, pinkish, girly, totally spoilt, love shopping, feathery pens (I still use those) makeovers, sleepovers, crushes, oh wait, hold on there... I have discovered crushes way before clueless came out. Can I start in kindergarten? Is that too early? Let me rephrase, is it normal to have a crush when you're actually 5 or 6 years old? In the defense of my pervertness? emotions do exist from the day we were born, we just share it with our parents and siblings when we're juveniles.

Excuse my ramblings, but Clueless was on TV just now and I couldn't help but wonder and question and hope for a little bit of romance in my singleton status.

Corporate Jealousy

When I first got hired, I had to prepare an event within a month's time. Having no experience in design whatsoever, I prepared a piece of art. Or so I thought.

2 months later, I prepared another event and it was a hit. Nearly everyone who passed by commented on it. Visitors wrote down positive comments about the design itself.

2 weeks after that, I designed a 3rd stall for a higher profile occasion, that was a bit more glam but equally nice to event number 2.

At the time, everyone congratulated me for the short-time success. Others would have taken months to produce the level of work that I have done in a span of 3 months time.

The scenario:

8 months onwards, one of the managers (whom I perfectly remember as admiring my work) cusses my work in front of my face calling me an amateur.

Hmm,


The History:

Uneducated man, with a close mind who never allowed his graduate wife to drive a car. Someone who always asks me to cover up all my hair and belittles me in front of others saying I shouldn't be angered because I am a crybaby. He doesn't like the fact that I am an independent woman who deals with men and has her face exposed.

My verdict:

He's simply an insecure man who cannot handle a woman who is by far more successful than him.

I'm glad I belittled him in the last meeting because some people just deserve to be named and shamed. Hmm, Perhaps the evil Sedeso will put up a photo gallery of "named & shamed". Nyhahahahahaha.

Merely an obssession

Oh Dear GOD, please help me, this book obsession is taking over my life. I cannot ever leave a bookstore empty-handed. Check out what I bought yesterday.I can't help it. Everytime I am close to books an image instantly light bulbs in my head: that of me sipping warm hot chocolate from Louis XII china and reading a book whilst laying on a fauteuil, and the room is brown, old, with ceiling high bookshelves. My dream aahh.

I'm actually enjoying the Classics alot more than what I thought initially and Madame Bovary is good. She is real and her affections and infidelity seem justified as I read along. I try not to defend cheaters because I never know what circumstances caused them to cheat in the first place. Plus I wonder how I would act if I were in their shoes.  I guess my morals are safe for now.

Anyways, check out the cutest gold flats I got yesterday from New Look:

Cute, aren't they?

7anan Dashti seems to have the only make-up style I'd go for.
