Candle n the wind ....

An update in a long time...

A night out alone can be a nice experience. Walking on the beach alone for once, soothing the mind and thinking things over, just get carried away in the innocence of the beautiful sound of the closest nature we have. I was out all evening alone, just wanted to see how it would turn out for once to have peace and think about life in general. Came to some conclusions and thought about some more issues.

Work is day by day becoming an issue more than a making me a happy person on the end of the month when the paycheck is received. Thoughts of problems at work are coming in mind rather than family and friends, it can be a good thing for my career but wouldn't want to lose my loved ones over work the second time. I would like to think it is just a matter of time, well it is even if I don't think so but I have to stay up and put all efforts to not let myself fall down into the spiral of misfortune. I have to remind myself to keep trying harder and harder day by day for my goal.

Three years is what I have convinced myself to hold onto this situation. When this time is over and I have achieved the first step towards my dream, it would be a matter of hard work from there to obtain my deepest desires, my stallion, my wonderful house, and my life partner. Have to stay put for three short years, that is what I want the most right now. God give me the strength to stand up to the roadblocks in front of me so I can get closer to what I must do for my welfare and my family's.

Eid gone ....... work come!!

Welcome again work life!! Yup, Eid's gone and I'm back to being a prisoner called staff! Its nice to be back home after a long day at work, doing that extra hour which I owed them for leaving early on Thursday last week because of excitement of Eid and also in a rush of doing the EID shopping which I skipped for the whole month of Ramadhan. It is so frustrating seeing the sizes for most of the good clothes not being available, specially shoes!! All the models I picked out were out of stock for my size, seemed like people just got my size this year or something because last year a lot of good shoes were available and I had difficulty deciding on which one to buy. So much frustration got me thinking to pick any shoe which I can get my hands on and thank god I got my size in good comfy shoes.

I never thought I would ever be surprised as I was today, the experience was the same as first day at work. Even though the people I work with everyday are friendly, it just felt that way. For the short period of time I was on vacation, it felt I was back at school. I got a chance to wear something other than Dishdasha or shorts and a t-shirt in the evenings while relaxing at home. An outing as simple as going to a coffee shop was just impossible to do, but because of Eid holidays I could do all of those plus catch up on my long lost sleep which made my eyes a little brighter.

Off for now, have to catch up on real life! This blg might be boring to read, but I like to have it around! So check back maybe something exciting will happen here, who knows?

Two days of Eid went by ....

.... well, the days went by sort of fast.....



The pic above is cropped from a shot I took of myself in the car. That's a new earing I got myself a few days before Eid. I think it looks good but family has other opinions, but I do like it so guess I will be keeping it for sometime.

First day went as usual, family visits, Shua, etc.. and fell asleep middle of the day waking up in the evenin going out to roam at city centre then going to have dinner at Le Mermaid. the day ending by reading a few pages from Arturo Perez-Reverte's "Queen of the South." The sleep ended at 10 AM next morning though.

Woke up just to get ready and go to a relative's house for lunch then to a movie, and then back home. Home is like a base, when you reach it, feel like whatever you want. King of house. My territory. It was an Eid evening so I had to get ready again for going out. Did that and headed out just to be bored and come back home without even having dinner which I'm having now as I'm typing this. Had a sort of tiring day, off to hit the bed hard. I wish everyone had a woderful time these two days and to enjoy the next few days as well.

Welcome & Eid Mubarak!!

Hello anyone who's reading this. My first post in my first blog ever. Best wishes on Eid, good luck on getting Eidiya, and have fun eating during the day. This Eid is so special for me that I couldn't sleep the whole night, I am awake since two days and just excited. Why you might be thinking? because this Eid is goin to be my first Eid with family after 3 long years. I was not able to be with my family for 3 long years because of work! Now this time I'm home! I get to be with the people I care for and love the most in this world.

Am so glad after the hard times we had (Gonu), we're going to celebrate real good for the Eid. May Allah bring happiness to all people on this special day. Anyone wants to give me Eidiya? don't be shy .. hehe. No? its all good, its your first visit. I hope I update the blog regularly, I would update for sure if I experience something extraordinary during my day or anything which comes to my mind. Some people say I can write, lets put that to the test and YOU be the judge.

I am open for comments!!

ENJOY EID AND HOLIDAYS!!!!
