This Blog Has Expired!

Well, I just got back from the hospital. I still am not 100% recovered but I can return to work tomorrow and drive again.

I managed to stay home for two whole weeks. It was great, and it seriously is a wonderful accomplishment but now I have to return to my normal life.

This blog has officially expired!!

Two Things

1. I just went through the latest issue of bazaar magazine. It really is starting to irritate me how most people simply bash Kuwait or the lifestyle or the places or the people...etc. If you contribute why don't you contribute on how to enjoy Kuwait more. It's depressing to read all that shit. Can you imagine if you take an issue with you to some other country and have a foreigner read it? What would they think if they read it? lol

2. I think these past few weeks has majorly affected my fitness. I start panting like crazy when I walk up a flight of stairs!

I Went Out!

Mom walked in to my room this afternoon and asked me if I would like to go somewhere tonight to drink coffee. I looked at her to check if she was bluffing or if it was for real. I couldn't figure it out so I asked her and she told me that she is serious. Like a little kid being asked if she wanted to go to Disneyland, I nodded and smiled and screamed out yes!

We went to Marina Crescent since the weather is gorgeous outside. We sat outside at Lina's Cafe. I wasn't in the mood to bump into people I know and smile fakingly to them and luckily, I didn't bump into anyone.

While sitting there I looked around at the teenagers. It pisses me off to see young kids, whose lungs haven't fully developed yet, smoking! Eh walla, 13 and 14 year old kids smoking!! It pisses me off to see those same kids wearing make up and stilleto heels and so forth. Most of the teenagers I saw were from foreign schools, it was obvious by simply looking at them. Multnational group of kids sitting together, talking in English, and dressed like pop stars or rock stars... each according to their taste of music. I used to be like that... except I didn't smoke or wear make up or high heels or talk about hookers.

Looking at those kids, I realized that I did enjoy my teenage years, I also did enjoy my university years, but I don't wish I was that young again, since I am enjoying my mid-twenties as well.

I'm not old, I'm not young, I'm 25 and I am enjoying it.

I Ain't Delusional !

I've been wanting to write this post for a while now but it's been a challenge for me. You see, people seem to refuse the idea that I am happy, as in I am truly happy. After I got so many surpised looks and statements from people when I told them I am happy, I even started doubting the fact that I was so I started questioning myself.

The way I see it is that I don't regret any decision I have ever made and I am more than satisfied with where I am at the moment. Let's analyze this a bit further:

Career: I feel that I have reached a position where only a few people my age, and with only 3 years of working experience have reached. This must prove that I am not only a passionate hard-worker, but a good one too. I also see plenty of potential of growth from where I am. Financially I don't think anyone is happy... there also is room for more, but what I make right now is enough to keep me happy. In short, I am more than happy with where I am and am even more ambitious then when I started.

Education: I don't regret that I never got my bachelors degree. You see, not having a degree made me feel that I have to work harder, even though no one has asked me for my degree yet. Well, since I did work harder and challenged myself as a fresh "graduate" I moved up the ladder at work a lot quicker than most people.

Friends: It took me a while to find friends in Kuwait. I had met a lot of people and stuff but it's only during the past 6 months that I can say that I made true friends. Friends who stick next to me during my hard times, and friends who I would stand next to during their hard times. Friends who I don't even have to complain to when I am feeling down since I cheer up by merely spending some time with them which has caused me to look forward to meeting up with them everytime.

Family: My relationship with my family has drastically improved. My parents have been next to me during my hardest times and they are the only people I allow to see me when I am at my lowest. Again, I have reached the point where I don't have to talk to them when I am feeling down, I simply have to spend time with them and I feel better.

Love life: Yes, I have plenty of ups and downs... but I am glad about the decisions I made. I thought about if me and my ex-fiance didn't break up, I would have been married by now... maybe even pregnant. I wouldn't have been happy. I wouldn't have been happy married to him, and I also wouldn't have been happy if it was the greatest guy. You see, I am so happy with my lifestyle at the moment, that I can't imagine being married to anyone at the moment.

Kuwait: I have reached the point where I can't imagine myself living elsewhere. I refuse to live elsewhere.

I am not delusionally happy, I truly am happy.

I feel that I have matured and I have calmed down. I make my decisions a lot more carefully then I used to. I take some time out to understand myself more, to understand my needs, and my wants. I have learnt to take care of myself and to be selfish a little.

I have learnt how to balance out my life between my job, my family, my friends, and myself.

Most importantly, I have learnt what it is I want from my life and I am aiming at getting those things.

I know if I was in my deathbed at this moment, I would be happy with how I lead my life so far.
I am not saying I am perfect, I am simply saying I am on the right track with my life.

I think, therefore I am happy!

(I feel this post is also a closure post for my previous blog, rampurple)

Completed Sex & The City

I just finished watching season 4 of sex and the city. I got slightly depressed from the last episode but it's nothing a cigarette won't cure. Now I have to order season 5. Now that I have watched the episodes in their proper sequence I understand Big's role a lot more... and you know what? I like him!

What I've Missed The Most!

While lying down in bed, watching the 4th season of Sex in the City, I realized what I miss the most the past few weeks is having coffee with my mother. Yes, I know this has nothing to do with what I am watching. I felt the urge to post this now because.... well.... I was going to write my Happy Ramadan post in the morning, but I just realized since Ramadan starts in an hour or so, the coffee shops and restaurants will be closed during the days, so me and mom won't be able to have our morning coffee on Fridays. I like morning coffee on Fridays, that's when Marina Mall is still quiet and not crowded. I guess we'll have to make do with coffee after fotoor. Hmmm I miss shopping as well... (that's got to do with sex in the city ;D )

Anyways all! Happy Ramadan... mubarak 3aleikom il shahr.

Enjoy!

Anonymous Bahlsen

My mom got me a bag of Bahlsen ABC biscuits. I usually love those biscuits.... today they were tasteless! Don't get me wrong though, I did finish the entire thing!

I got an anonymous call while I was in the bathroom. I hate those! Who could it have been?!

I am done with season 1 and 2 of sex in the city, and almost through with 3. I have watched most of the episodes but not in order. Now things seem to make a lot more sense to me.

The painkillers seem to have finally kicked in!

I've Hit The Bottom

I feel horrible today!! I've hit rock bottom... God decided that I've been feeling good the past few days, so he decided to add some more pain. Excuse me while I go lie down...

(I know this post is mean but seriously ppl ouch!)

Rest Assure

Ease your minds my fellow readers... i just went to abc's website to find out what happened in the first episode of season 2. It calmed me a bit. I still want to continue watching this series though. It's addictive. I can't understand why. It's not something I would usually watch... a mixture of a soap opera and nancy drew. Sigh.

Anyone have any ideas of where I can watch season 2 in Kuwait? Can i download the episodes from somewhere?

Season 2?!

It's so not funny how season 1 of Desperate Housewives ended! I need to start watching season 2 now! URGH!

Mission Almost Accomplish

I couldn't sleep last night. I was up until 6 am. I took advantage of this fact and continued watching Desperate Housewives; I finished the 4th DVD last night (or this morning). I woke up at around 11am and decided to go to the office to do some "damage control." I must admit it was fun. I miss some of our office drama, politics, and action. It's too stressful to think about at the moment but it's nice to get a glimpse of.

Anyways, when I got home I went straight back to Desperate Housewives. I finished the 5th dvd. Toomz, mar, and JC passed by. JC got to watch one of the episodes with me. My parents friends passed by and I sat with them for a while. Now it's time to start the last dvd of season 1 Desperate Housewives. I should be done with it before I sleep.

After watching 4 dvds, which is equivalent to 16 episodes, yesterday I ended up dreaming of desperate housewives lol.
