i can't be who you are

barca extended their lead on top with a 3-1 win over real mallorca! twas a great match. iniesta is finally back. he played really well, and he even scored. yaya toure's goal was magnificent. henry scored the equalizer, which refreshed my hope for barca. guess who won today? BAHRAIN! we played iraq today in the arabian gulf cup [if thats the right name] and we beat them 3-1! needless to say, we missed countless chances to score, but then again this is bahrain we're talking about so we need to excuse their poor football. the third goal was a late one, like in the stoppage time. so when the match ended those iraqi players started looking for a fight with our players, y'know like pushing them and doing all the oh-im-so-strong moves. meh. get over it guys, twas just a match =/ srsly. why cant everyone just get along? the world should be peaceful...well at least if we cant stop war, lets stop these silly fights when it comes to sports! see? this is another reason why i should be president.

'nough football for today. omg you wouldnt guess what happened today o__O. i was shopping for jackets with my mom (because its awfully cold now in bahrain! yes, bahrain. weird i know) when all of a sudden my mom received a call from my brother, he told her that his car got hit by a truck. like in an accident, y'know. i didnt know what to think =/ i heard my mom asking him if he was ok and not injured but the man kept talking about how damaged his car was! dude, are you ok or not? but then he finally told mom that he was ok, and nothing happened to him, but his car was damaged and needed major repayments. screw the car, he can get it fixed, i guess. the most important thing is that he's ok, because one things for sure, a life is irreplaceable. thank god my bro's just fine <3

anyway, im going to my grandma's tomorrow, with my cousin, mariam. its really weird, because i only visit her like twice every year. and these two times are on occasions where i HAVE to show up. i really love my grandma, its just that i dont know what to talk about when im around her. i try to talk stuff but what? what should i talk about? i know its gonna be awkward, but i should visit her and show her that i care about her. hey, maybe i can tell her about my bro's incident. and maybe i should mention how its really surprisingly cold in bahrain. and other stuff. if i feel super awkward, me and mariam will just leave and go have dinner at fud's, i guess.

This is where we both get scared

Hello! :D How's 2009 going with everybody? (:

Dear Mom,

Sincerely, Shaikha

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

confession: i watched the little mermaid two days ago.

i.hate.my.life.

Well, like the title states, I hate my life. I just discovered that one of my favorite bands, Simple Plan, will be on tour in Dubai on December 5th. Yes, I said Simple Plan will be going to dubai! Ohkay so Dubai is really close to Bahrain, takes only 45 mins to get there by plane, so its really not that far. It's considered pretty close, really. And the VIP tickets cost BD 50 which is only about $133, which is a reasonable price (I think). Don't ask me, I've never been to a concert before. Ohkay so there I was, just discovering that one of my dreams is actually coming true, I rush downstairs to tell Mom, who seemed rather bored by the subject. After giving her the best speech I could put together about how this band inspired me and gave me hope in life, especially through my downs, my Mom didn't have much to say. 'No! There's no way I'm gonna let you fly over to Dubai to watch some band perform! I mean okay they're coming to Dubai, so what?! You have your iPod in which you can listen to them all day long. I'm really sorry but there's no way your going' I got so frusterated! ARGH! Why is this happening to me? Why's life so unfair? THE WHOLE FREAKING TRIP DOESN'T COST MUCH AND ITS SIMPLE PLAN FOR CRUING OUT LOUD! Sometimes my mom is just waaaay to overprotective its not even funny! Why can't my Mom just lemme go? For once? I mean please! I seriously feel so low. What did I do to deserve an overprotected Mom like mine? I mean okay yeah sure she's great and all but picture this she never even allowed me to sleepover at one of my friend's house. Isn't it kinda...gay?! =/
