another birthday!

its my moms birthday today. i kinda feel bad for not getting her a gift like i usually do, but this time she insisted she didn't want anything. i know i was still supposed to get her something, with the card i got her, but its not like i had anything in mind. so the card i bought her was one of these happy-birthday-mom cards from this really well-known gift shop, and i decided to write a little poem on it. of course being myself, i left everything till last minute. me and my sister decided to give her our cards at 12AM, and it was like around 11:45, so i was left with 15 minutes to come up with a poem. i usually don't take time to write poems, but i felt pressured at that moment, so the result was... well lets just say it wasn't even close to my best writing skills. the words were kinda babyish, not how i thought it'd turn out, but hey, at least it was something written by me, right? i mean, to my mom, its all about the message you send across, so it was cool. when i gave my mom the card, to my absolute surprise, she cried after reading the poem! she said it was really touching and meaningful! she cried at my "cheap" poem! like omg! i was surprised, and to be frank with you, seeing her cry really touched me, my eyes started foggin up o_O. twas weird, im getting so sensitive these days, and i hate it. anyway, here's the poem (feel free to laugh at its crappiness):

from my baby steps
to all the lessons i'll never forget
you are my number one all the way through
i would'nt be myself, if it weren't for you
you are my teacher, my friend, my guide
and i promise you, i'll always be by your side
i only wish that i'll one day become just like you
to help, to guide, to love and care like you always do
you are always there righting my wrongs
let me assure you that in my heart's where you belong

Because I have nothing better to do...

Hello! Long time no blog! Hahaha well yeah I seem to have a life lately. Went shopping with Maryam(inho) on Thursday. T'was fun. Yesterday, I went to Haya's (my cousin) birthday party! It was fun :D none of my other cousins came which was pretty weird. I mean I knew no one over there except for the birthday girl, that is. But I managed to get a long with pretty much everyone. There's this girl, Asma, who seems really nice :) She gave me her msn and number so we can maybe, i don't know, get together some time? I'm sure she'll be a great friend :D

Anyways, moving on to some serious business aka homework. I have these Environmental science questions that I need to get done for Monday, but decided to finish today. They are nine questions, I've finished four of them so far, which is good, considering I answered them in paragraphs. Normally I'd just throw in a sentence and two to get it over with. And I'd get somewthing like a D. Who would've guessed, right? haha. So yeah I have this stupid project too. Yes, Environmental Science project. What's with Ms. Jain? She's been loading us with homework lately :( I also have this Arabic Social Studies test on Monday >_<. I hate Arabic Social Studies, it's so HARD! Wish me luck, yo.

It's been a while

It's been a while since I last blogged. Well, I didn't think anywone cared about my blog, to be honest. But wow turns out my good friend, Lydia, does. hahaha I love you Lydia for caring about my boring life x]

So, I had my Environmental Science test yesterday. I didn't do too well. But it wasn't that bad as well. I'm hoping for a C, at least. I hope I get something higher, but then again I don't deserve a high grade because I didn't study well. I was to busy watching Barca's match. [FIVE GOALS! DON'T WE JUST ROCK?]

There's not too much going on with me right now. Well, my birthday's coming, which is on October 29. I would do anything to just stay 15 forever. I don't want to turn 16. :( It makes me feel so old. I won't have a birthday party, because I can't invite all of my friends (25 girls) to our house due to the lack of place for us to party. So yeah I'd be stuck on my birthday without a party. *sobs*. My Mom told me to choose like 9 girls to invite to a small birthday party that i can throw at home. But to tell you the truth, I'd rather not. I mean I can't choose between my friends. I love them all to pieces. So yeah no party for me. How much more lame can life be?! *sighs*

Anyways, I'm going over to Shaikha's place today :D [Yes, we have the same name] She invited us all to get together and watch a movie I think. Whatever. I know we're gonna have fun :D She told me that she's inviting 15 girls :D WOOHOO! Girls night :D:D Thank God my mom allowed me to stay till 11 at night :D I'm so excited. I'm wearing my new skinny black jeans with a cute, red, Zara top :D

Happy Sweet Sixteen Fatima!

Ok, so yesterday was Fatima's, my BFF, sweet sixteen party =) Me and Maryam arrived at 4 PM and helped her choose what to wear and stuff. A lot of girls from school showed up. All in all, we all were about 26 girls, which was a lot considering this is the first party Fatima throws at her house. It was really fun. Well, at first everyone was kindof shy and all, but then we all got into the party spirit, y'know goofing around, making silly dances and stuff. Maryam did her robot dance (which I'm dying to learn, btw). It was all good, though. I didn't dance (not because I didn't want to, it's just that I don't KNOW how). But I enjoyed just sitting back and laughing at whoever's dancing and gossiping. Ahh yes gossiping! What's a girl's party without gossip? haha.

At 9:30 PM most of the girls were gone. We were only six girls left (including birthday girl, Fatima). So this meant that it was time for the AFTERPARTY! Woohooo! I love afterparties :) There so much fun! So we had the place all ours and we just pretened to be rockstars and sang rock songs really loud haha. Then we made a deal to perform a song toegether in the school concert. Hahahaha ever heard of the saying "Never make promises when you're happy" guys? Yeah, that didn't work with us hahaha. It was really fun :D Fatima got a lotta gifts including a Pink PlayStation 2 (or was it 3?) and a Nintendo DS, a lot of perfume sets, a lot of cute tops, accesories, make up sets, nail polish, and many more. Oh and she liked the video me and Maryam made her! We've been working on a birthday video for over a month now. We got all the our mates from school to tell her a birthday message. It was so cute, she almost cried <3

Oh and I really appreciate all your comments guys :D Thanks!

I rock? :D

Okay, I'll make this short. Here's what's been going on lately:

1) My BFF, Maryam's, birthday was yesterday. I feel bad for not getting to be there with her and spend some great time together. But she's in KSA, with her family so... Anyways. I got her a shirt from Zara as a birthday gift. This is actually the first time I buy clothes as a birthday present, to be honest. But I'll think she'll like it :D

2) I was this close to buying these amazing new Nikes, I've been wanting for weeks now. We went shoppiong today, my mom, my sister, and myself. I tired the red Nikes on and they were my exact size! I was so happy! They were only BD 44.000 (a little over $100). And my mom was ok with the price so I was really happy. However, when we went to pay, turns out they kept the wrong label. The shoes were BD 60.000 ($150). My mom was all "Oh! But that's too expensive. No, we will not buy it." Gah, I hate it when she does that in front of people. It's sososo embarassing.

3) My cousin, Haya, underwent a surgery a couple days ago. I don't know what kind of surgery, to be frank. But I do know it's in her back. I think I'm going to have to go visit her, she lives nextdoor. I mean I HAVE to visit her. I mean if i didn't, hat kind of person would that make me?

4) School starts tomorrow. I was all excited and all a few days ago. Now? I'm all "No Thanks!" I don't know, I guess I just lost interest maybe?

5) Ok I'll end this. I'm totally booked! I have the Sunderland-Arsenal match to worry about (which already started, by the way). And then I have to watch the Blackburn Rovers-Manchester United match (GOO BLACKBURN! Thanks to a friend, now I'm crushing over this really hot Blackburn player =/) And last but not least, I'm watching Barcelona-Atletico Madrid match which will finish at 1:00 AM, and then I'll go get some sleep for school tomorrow. Of course, I'm not sure if my mom will be kind enough to let me watch the whole Barcelona match (I doubt it, to be honest)

6) Please leave me comments, yes?:)

Happy Birthday!

It's my brother, Hamad's birthday today! He's turning 19! Wow, time is passing really fast. I mean, yesterday we were little kids who fight over silly stuff, and now we're this. When I say 'this' I mean that there are no longer silly fights between Hamad and myself, there is also no joking around between us. As a matter of fact, we rarely even talk to each other at all! Unlike my sister and I, my relationship with my brother kinda gets weaker with time. As we're growing up, I feel like we're drifting apart more and more. That's the one thing I hate about growing up; it slowly kills my relationship with my brother. *Sighs*. Oh well, let's not ruin the moment, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAMAD! I LOVE YOU (A LOT).

Btw, my birthday's after two months - WINK WINK -

(And there's nothing I love more than gifts)

I mean, What? D:
