this is not about emotion

okay so one monday was my first ever spanish class *does the happy dance* it actually went pretty well. there are only a few of us in the class; only seven students including myself and mom. mom made me promise that if anyone asks if we're related, whe'd just tell em that we're sisters. mom wants to feel younger haha... moms these days... xD

onto a completely different note, BARCA WON YESTERDAY! leo, my man! a hattrick! wow this dude amazes me and keeps me on my toes whenever he's on the pitch. he always makes my day with his amazing brilliance on the pitch ♥

also... bahrain are playing kuwait today in the arabian gulf cup thingy. wish us luck, people! =)

ew school starts in a 3 days. omg noo D:

messi - the reason i wanna learn spanish

Heres a short update of what's been going on in my life, lately.

1- Barca won el clasico! I'm still amazed by my men! I'm so proud of them <3

--

2- My order from FC Barcelona's official site is finally here. I ordered a wristband that says "Messi 10", and three sets of stickers coz im childish that way.

--

3- I'm going to learn Espanol!!! Yes! I'm finally learning the language I've been dying to learn. I'll be taking classes with my mom starting Jan 4. I think its quite funny being in a class with my mom hahaha xD

--

4- Went shopping with my sister and her best friend today. I didn't really want to go but I just did. I saw my fellow friends from school: Reema, Fatima J., Rahma and a couple of other girls. It's hard keeping in touch with friends when there's a long holiday. So it's a good thing I did actually go. Like they say, "Everything happens for a reason".

--

5- Going to have breakfast tomorrow at Starbucks in the City Centre with my cousin Mariam, my aunt, and my grandma. Yes, I said my grandma. She's been sitting at home a lot recently so my aunt decided to take her along with us =D

--

6- Happy National Day, to all Bahrainis :D. Si, hoy esta el national dais. ok i just made that up, i wanted to say 'yes, to day is our national day' in spainish ahaha.

--

7- iRock (my iPod) says hiiii to you[:

OH LIONEL ♥

The Shakhtar - Barca match was amazing! Awesome ending, I must say! Just when you start losing hope of winning, Leo strikes again x) Lionel is just made of so much win. Seriously. He gives winning a whole new definition. My mom didn't stop screaming at the top of her lungs when Leo scored. And my brother, yeah he didn't stop jumping up and down (I felt the ground shake. Really, It was like he was superman or something). Me? Oh I just died, several times. You would do the same if you've seen his goals. Really. He's just so fabulous. He wins at life. ♥

Anyways, moving into a completely different note: Eid was amazing. It was great seeing all my family members, and just uniting with them to chitchat. This happens rarely. The whole family meets, I mean. It's because we are a BIG family and we live in very DIFFERENT places in the country. So yeah, it was great catching up with all of my cousins and all. And today well technicaly the day yesterday, since it's almost 12:30 AM now, I was supposed to go to my Aunt's house for lunch. It's the family tradition, every second Eid day, the whole family meets up at my Aunt's house. Guess who didn't show up because she had to finish some stupid homework? Surprise surprise, myself. I swear, homework is just ... never mind? What's the point of complaining anyway? It's not like I can change the homework policy by my stupid blog. *sighs* So yeah anyway, I finished my math homework (I'm not even sure I did the right pages), I also finished one of my Business & Management homework. I'll do the other one tomorrow; I need some help from my Aunt with it. Oh and I have to study for my Math test coming up next week :( Oh and I also have this Environmental Science test coming up next week, too. It consists of two long chapters. Really long chapters. Talking 'bout ten pages (each chapter). I only have three days to finish all this shit =/ I'll wake up early tomorrow and start with the Environmental I guess, or idk, I'll just study whatever I feel like studying.

Oh and I went shopping the other day with my mom and guess what? I DIDN'T FIND ANY YELLOW CONVERSES!

Saay whaaat?!

Ok ok, I know I haven't blogged since *counts on fingers* four? yes that's right four days. But hey I have a reason, I really do. But first I have to say something seriously important! LIONEL MESSI GOT A HAIRCUT! OHMYGOD! I totally freaked out when I found out about it yesterday. Why, Leo, why'd you cut your hair? I mean your hair was the first thing that attracted me to you :( In the pictures attached, you can see him before and after the hair cut in the same day. I know, it's heartbreaking. *sobs* Oh, I wanna know what you guys think about Leo's new hair.

Anyway, I failed my English IB test :( Only nine girls (including myself) took the test and guess how many passed! ONLY ONE! SOLO UNO (I just love Spanish lol). And the girl who passed got a 13 out of 15. All Eight girls failed, sadly. I shared an 8 out of 15 with one of my classmates, whereas five girls got a 7 out of 15, and one poor girl got an unexpected 5 out of 15. It's really overwhelming. I mean some of my mates I thought would pass so easily. To know that I got a higher mark than them is really surprising. But hey don't get me wrong, I'm not smarter than them or anything, for most of my answers were gussing since the test was a mutliple choice test. But yeah I failed... and so I'm dropping the English IB class. I'll just join Mariam in the standard English class :(

Oh and the reason why I haven't blogged in ages is because of the shitty internet connection and well school. Yeah.

GOLD!!

CHAMPIONS!

I stayed up to watch them. Argentina, I mean. The match started at 7AM local time, and well I had no choice but to stay up to watch the match, especially since it was the final. Yep, the final. Argentina vs Nigiria play to win the gold. I was determined that Argentina was going to win. I mean, I have faith in my team. Who doesn't? Anyways, if watching my team in the final involves me staying up till 9:30AM, I'm in. I know, I'm a very loyal supporter. The first half was somewhat boring, and believe it or not, the referee stopped the match to give the players two minutes to drink water due to the hot, humid weather. Personally, I think that the Chinese didn't put much thoughts on the final football match, I mean 12PM at noon, with this weather? What were they thinking? The players suffered out there! It was like hell for them to play in such 'conditions'. And the pitch wasn't prepared well, some of the grass was ripped off, and no one bothered preparing the grass for the match! *sighs* Great, just what we needed to make a perfect football final match. Way to go China!I hope you're happy. >=[

With the second half came Di Maria's goal which gave Argentina the lead till the end of the match! Messi was, as usual, the one who passed the ball to Di Maria who placed the ball in the net. I love the great teamwork from Leo & Angel. They surely understand each other on the pitch. There's this other thing that I hated about the match, besides the stupid 'conditons' of the match. I hated the fact that the Nigerian players fouled Leo way to much! What did they wanna do? Break his leg. Maybe their coach told them to 'Break a Leg' before they went to the match, but hey, that doesn't necessarily mean break Leo's leg. And, um HELLO! It's just an expression! Jeez, how many functioning brain cells do these guys have? NILL? I'm just glad they got what they deserved, losing against Argentina!

I'm really happy for Messi and his mates! They deserved the gold medals :D I hope Messi will be as triumphant with Barca as he was with Argentina! <3

Okay I'm off to watch Arsenal vs Fulham now.

Later

Welcome!

Hello :)
I decided to create this blog to just talk about my teenage life. Like what am I up to and things that happen in my life, normal bloggin, y'know? I hope that this blog wil improve my English, as I will be needing a higher level of English since I'm attending the English IB class when school starts.

So here's a little bit about me, incase you wanna be friends :D

Ok, the name's Shaikha. Pretty weird name, huh?! Well it's common here in Bahrain, the country in which I live. If you've never heard of Bahrain, I don't blame you; it's a tiny Kingdom in the Middle East (Asia). It's pretty hot over here, that's why you'll always find me thrilled whenever my Mom informs us that we're traveling. I've always liked traveling. It's just so fun. Visiting new places, learning about different cultures, and most importantly, SHOPPING! LOL! Being a girl, shopping is a must. I love shopping at Zara, French Connection, New Look, Next, GAP, Nike, Puma, H&M, and many other places xD

I'm kindof a sporty girl. I love my sports and it's FC Barcelona all the way=D It's the first football club I've ever supported, and I've been supporting them since 2006. Two words made me support this team: Lionel Messi. You see, I was watching this live match of Argentina during the World Cup, I wasn't too psyched about the match, tbh. So I decided to go on MSN and chat with some of my buddies, but somehow, something made me turn around and watch the TV. And there he was! For the first time, I laid my eyes on Messi. The first thing that caught my eye about him, besides scoring a goal and dribbling through the defender, was his hair. His hair was like fj;a.sajf'ad[uioefd; ♥. My love for Messi grows everyday. I actually made my mom sit and watch a Barca match with me one day, because I wanted to show her Messi's brilliance on the pitch. To my surprise, my Mom fell in love with the little boy's talent. I ended up adding 3 more people to Messi's fans list (you can thank me later, Leo). That's right 3 people: My Mom, My brother, and my sister. I still can't believe that my Mom is now into football. I mean this is, my Mom we're talking about. Believe it or not, on July 25 2008, while we were in Spain my Mom took us to the Camp Nou!! She promised me she'll take us there before traveling, but I just didn't have high expectations because whenever I do have high expectations I always end up having a major letdown. Going to the Camp Nou was a dream come true. Seriously. It was so on my imaginary wishlist.

Ok so this is getting a little loooong, I'll stop now. lol

One last thing before I end this: If there are any other Barca/Leo fans out there, please join http://messiforum.forumotion.com/forum.htm It's a forum where all Lionel Messi fans unite :D Don't hesitate, we don't bite xD
