I Need You Like The Ocean Needs The Color Emerald
Isn't the title awww? It was written by my friend that just got married in the states. She wrote that line in a long note she gave her husband to be in the morning of the wedding. I've seen their journey together and I wish them all the best! O el faaal lena enshalla :P
Anyway, so Eid Mubarak to all! My week was uneventful except that I went to IKEA way too much! And I still need to go there, I don't know why I decided to "redecorate" the living room! Yeah okay I can go through the catalogue and look at the wonderful sofas and imagine myself laying on them and flipping through the channels, but seriously measuring and picking and choosing isn't as fun as I thought it would be! And making everything work together and making sure everything is gonna fit in the room is so much of a hassle! Good gosh I've had it! I think I'm gonna charge everyone who's going to lounge in there! They don't know what I'm going through :P And I'm dreading tomorrow, since that's when they're going to get the stuff and I have a feeling my measurements are a little bit off! Guess we'll find out tomorrow :D
And yeah, to all graphic designers, I don't know how you have your sanity in one piece, I may not know a fraction of what you go through but boy am I amazed! I'm taking an intro class and it's driving me nuts! The professor plays a big role but it is so demanding, but it actually is the only class where I'm actually learning something! Getting some useful skills! So yeah, after I'm done with that class, I know I'm gonna have a few gray hairs to add to my collection! A gray hair for each obstacle. And then I pull them out and see if two will actually sprout it in its place! None so far :P
KINGDOM HEARTS 2 TOMORROW :D Herolike, thank you so much for getting me something to deflect me from studying! Midterms are coming up and that only means that my creativity is gonna get a sudden boost! I don't know what crazy thing I'm going to do next...
P.S Video Clip of the Day!

Just say NO! :P
To begin with, I'm going to jot down something else my baby brother wrote the other day, the title of his so called paper was "Changes in Time" and he was comparing and contrasting himself with my mother and grandmother. It goes something like this:
Mother: She eats modern food, I eat modern food. She has a car, I have a car. She has children, I am a child. She is from (family name), I am from (family name).
(So far, so good right? Read along :P)
Grandmother: She eats with her hand, I eat with my spoon. She's brown, I'm white. I have a lot of friends, she doesn't have any. She walks slow, I walk fast.
So basically, these are the observations of an eight year old kid! :P He seems so superior to her! I couldn't stop laughing at the "she's brown" part, racist much? And he's not so white himself :P I can't wait till he grows up and realizes he aint no "white" boy, will he be surprised.
Moving along, I was discussing briefly to a fellow friend the importance of saying NO, It's a two letter word that does wonders! Seriously, it can save you from a lot of unwanted grief and stress :P
For example, if you're stuck in a situation where you need to help someone out and you either can't or don't want to, you don't have to feel pressured to do so. No one is going to get you out of that situation except yourself.
So save yourself the trouble and just say "I may not have a lot of stuff to do but I do, so I can't help you out. Maybe next year though!" ...
OR if you're so tired that day and can't handle anything simply state "I'm really tired to make an excuse right now so basically I can't help you out!" ...
OR if you're taking the comedic way out and say sarcastically "Yeah, I would LOVE to help you out, is it that obvious that I don't have a life?" and laugh at yourself and change the subject :P ...
OR you can play the victim role and use reverse psychology by saying "OH MY GOD! All that? What have I done to you to deserve this! You seriously wouldn't do that to me would you?"
If all fails, you can use the most effective and efficient way out. For example:
Them:"Hey, can you help me out?"
You: "No..."
Them: (Shocked)
You: "Lovely weather today don't you think?"
I hope this helped :)
And as for moi, I have a manure-load of work to do and I'm not even close to finishing! So hopefully, while drinking my latte that I'm obsessed over these days, I'll get to finish some of the stuff.... hopefully!

Kids DO Say The Darnest Things!
Before I start, this post is dedicated to a certain someone who has "stumbled" on my blog after a lengthy search and is now an avid reader of mine (I hope:P)... and to the curious people, actually just two of you, you know who you are, I am not going to disclose any information regarding a certain someone's blog :P hehehe the person in question is probably reading this now and laughing her ass off :P
On to the post! Before I left to the university today I passed by the desk that had my little brothers homework, curiousity got the better of me and I took a peek. It seriously made my day! It was an autobiography and this is a little bit of what he wrote:
"My hobbies are swimming, basketball, baseball, soccer, pizza, donuts, chicken, fries and hamburgers."
"My mothers father was a military man. Her mother was a wife."
That's only a small excerpt of what I found in there, let's just say that I'm going to make him write all the time when I'm feeling blue!
And in the case of anonymous bloggers, readers, commenters. How many of you know bloggers personally but don't tell them that you do? :P I know a couple of bloggers, either by reading their blogs and automatically recognizing their writing style and some info about them, or either I'm told by people. In my case, I've told some people of my blog, while I gave others hints, and some people I'm sure know who I am but don't want to tell me. :P Yes?
Anonymity isn't a really big case to me, I have no problem with people reading this blog. This blog. :D
Yes, I used to have another blog :P It was so depressing and dramatic that I had to have a change of scenery so Ta-da this blog was created. I made a 180 degree flip, I'm probably much more shallow now? lol no that's not the word I'm looking for, let's say something along a light read. I'm the light cheese of blogs, easy to digest :P
P.S To H: Yalla meta miniature monopoly? :P

To The Left, To The Left
I'd like to get mad at someone just to take their mobile and scribble on their mobile with a black permanent marker and especially the camera lens, don't ask why it just felt like a really cool thing to do, especially if it's out of revenge! :P
Don't worry I wouldn't do that, i'm over my prankster stage, though I still get the urge to do things just for the hell of it but people are too sensitive these days, so I'm going to have to resort to just creating some really good pranks to pass on to my children :P
And don't Panic! At The Disco have the greatest song titles?
"The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage"
"Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off"
"Build God, Then We'll Talk"
"There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey. You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet"
yeah, I love them :P
You know what? I thank God each and every day for keeping me away from people and their problems, I love being in my own little world but still in the middle of everything that's going on... People don't need too much attention, that just gives them the green light to speed right over you! Life is too short to waste it on people who don't deserve the light of day, so if you're considering stressing about a problem, person, or thing, just keep this in mind, will it matter in a week, month, year? If not, then I suggest you go get yourself some Hagendaz icecream and sit outside because the weather is UNBELIEVABLE! ;)

Like the Lazy Ocean Hugs the Shore
Bittersweet birthday, I'm legal now, that's what everyones been telling me (yeah like I'm going to order a round of drinks for my buddies), the way I see it I am now able to vote, which isn't that appealing to me anyway. I'm too busy pondering life's unanswerable questions. No, it has nothing to do with questioning my existence and my "role in life", I have been thinking about this for a long time.
How would a spiders web turn out if the spider was intoxicated while weaving it?
Anyone willing to experiment? I know you will, just go easy on the little arachnids and keep a camera nearby ;) And yes these kinds of questions are all I think about when I'm daydreaming in class. I should list them, that would be entertaining.
In other news, I've been very productive these days, probably over-doing myself. I'm my mothers representative now, how sad is that :P I have no idea how I was coerced into doing this! She asks me for a favor and then BAM it turns out I'm running all around Kuwait to check out potential offices for her! When did this all happen? And the problem is that all these people are calling me to meet up with them at the sites! It started a couple of days ago and there's another one coming up tomorrow, damnit, she SO owes me! Let me just say that in total, I'm going to have seen around 10 buildings. WHICH SOME DON'T HAVE WORKING ELEVATORS.
So, if anyone has questions, I pretty much have all the rates and measurements memorized. Can I be a realtor now?
Oh yeah, I need pictionary ASAP. I've been looking for it everywhere, I'm obsessed with boardgames these days, I don't know if it's because of ramadan, or it's just a weird phase I'm going through because it's getting out of hand. I have twister. Really out of hand.
Song of the day: Promise - Ciara
P.S Watch this. Only if you want to laugh that is. If you don't, then you suck. I'm sorry.
