A new beginning..

Hello my fellow bloggers,

I'm not sure if this is going to be an annual thing but I am hoping I will make this more of a habit. I have been kept away from the world of blogs.. Its been a while actually.. a long, long time ...before facebook ..and twitter even existed!!

So.. so much has happened since, but I will not dwell on it.. I have since moved to live back home in Abu Dhabi ..

I just wanted to say hello and than I am back.. hope my readers from 2007 are all well..

wow!! It really has been a while..

Until next time

COOK

Summer Friends and Friends for Life :)

Time:

it was the summer of 1999. i was 15 years old, and it was the first summer i was allowed to go out with my friends unchaperoned!! as u can imagine, i was so excited, i thought to myself "i am FINALLY an adult". (yeah right) haha


Appearance:

since i thought i was a "big" girl at the time, i thought that i could finally put make-up on (not only clear lip gloss!) so i bought this white shiny and UNBELIEVABLY tacky eye-shadow from Miss Selfridge. other than my shiny clear lip gloss, that was the make up i would put on EVERY single day that summer. (thank god i'm out of that phase!!!) lol


Company:

my friends and i went out in a HUGE group, friends of friends and so on, i barely new most of them, but they were the 'cool girls' so i was happy going out with them anyway.. i was 'cool' by association :p (sad.. i know)


Fate:

i moved to london 3 years later, i wasn't in touch with any of those "summer friends" if u may. i met alot of people here, but mostly it was just me and Cook. eventually i RE-met Dawi (one of the summer group girls) we became very close over the past two years, these friends are my family now, and i love them. (Did i just hear someone say CORNY?!!!!!!!!) anywayz,,,,,,


Today:

a few weeks ago, we all got together with three of the "summer girls":
-The crazy little fashionista: NoooNz
-The ever so sweet: Halawa
and -The adorable: Mizzy
in remarkably little time, i have learnt to become very close to these new friends of mine. they have had a great impact on my life and i am glad to have been reunited with them through Dawi.

last night, we had to say our good-byes, because they r going back home to Saudi and to Kuwait. it was surprisingly emotional!!! but, we have planned a visit to the East Coast of Saudi in the summer (where they live, and where Noonz is not too far away) hopefully, it will all work out and we'll have a great time!!


Surprise!!!!!

HOWEVER,,,, there is one small little thing i forgot to mention.. uhhmmm.. my new friends,, have NOT GONE BACK!!! lool they r staying for a little longer as a SURPRISE! but they do not know i know! it was just toooo obvious when i got the phone call from Dawi today, sobbing about a letter she'd gotten (which by the way she failed to mention the first time we spoke) it's not that she is a bad liar, but i just know her too well.. i tried to tell her i KNEW what was going on, but she refused to surrender, and went on "sobbing".. so i guess i'll just play along until the girls FIIIIIIIINALLLLLY get to 47.. I caaaaaaan't waaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiit.. and then i'll direct them to my blog after i cry, scream, and jump in surprise that they actually did NOT leave.. nyahahahahaha.. evil me..


anyhoo,, i gotta get to Dawi's ASAP!!! but this post is dedicated to you :

NOOOONZ, HALAWA and MIZZY :)

LOve u all xxxxxxxxx

They're BACK!!!

hello people of the blog world ...


it's been a while, I won't give any excuses but I will just say I saw something yesterday and i got a feeling i used to get a while ago, and that is I HAVE TO BLOG ABOUT THIS!!!!! so, here goes nothing.. we were at this store yesterday, they sold everything from sweets to clothes to nicknacks for the house.. HOWEVER, i found the strangest things.. i took pictures with my phone (they weren't that clear) just to show u that when people just don't know what to do with their money they will buy ANYTHING, and in this case NOTHING!!!















BASICALLLLY, u pay 4.50 pounds to buy NOTHING! the writing on the package was silver and that's y it doesn't show, what it said was




The gift for the person who has everything, NOTHING! open this pack and experience nothing at all! if the contents of this pack are inhaled or swallowed NOTHING will happen! u may now enjoy NOTHING!




what do u say to a person who would actually buy something like that?! to tell u the truth i was very tempted, just to show it to my friends, i then remembered the fantastic technology of the camera phone! and this way, i won't be buying my first class ticket straight to hell (worth 4.50 pounds)






and the other interesting item for sale was:

















looooooooool now THIS made me laugh! a belly button brush?!!! FUNNY








as i browsed through the shelves of this place, i found the perfect item for the customer who actually would buy one or both of these things,, and that would be:








YEP! u guessed it, their own personal THERAPIST!!


i hope u enjoyed that as much as i did!!


The POET, The COOK and friends will be on their way to Egypt this monday. we shall update u before/while/as soon as we get back from Egypt! The mother of the world apparantly! I, personally, have never been.. so i will be visiting all the cliche tourist sites, and maybe do some fun stuff too :p


TAKE CARE everyone,

and till next time!

a poem:

War and Peace

Man invents war. Man discovers peace.
He invents war from without.
He discovers peace from within.
War man throws. Peace man sows.
The smile of war is the flood of human blood.
The smile of peace is the love, below, above.

Peace is the whole truth that wishes to enrapture humanity.
War is the whole falsehood that wants to capture humanity.
Peace begins in the soul and ends in the heart.
War begins in the mind and ends in the body.

War forgets peace. Peace forgives war.
War is the death of the life human. Peace is the birth of the Life Divine.
Our vital passions want war.
Our psychic emotions desire peace.
War is clear futility in dire spear-stupidity.
Peace is flowing infinity in glowing eternity.

Man seeks war when he thinks that the world is not his.
Man invites war when he feels that he can conquer the world.
Man proclaims war when he dreams
That the world has already surrendered to him.

Man seeks peace because his earthly existence desperately needs it.
Man welcomes peace because he feels
that in peace alone is his life of achievement and fulfilment.
Man spreads peace because he wants to transcend death.

The animal in man wars against peace in the outer world,
in the world of conflicting ideas.
The divine in man wars against ignorance in the inner world,
in the world of mounting ideals.

The animal in man wants war for the sake of war,
war to devour the snoring world.
The divine in man wants peace for the sake of peace,
peace to feed the hungry world.
