Updates
July 23rd 2008 by Sou in Friends, Fun, Personal, Movies, Music, Books, YouTube, FeminismSo it’s been a while, I know.
Goodness, so much has happened in the last couple of weeks. Good, bad, icky, heartbreaking, liberating, disheartening, elating, blah, blah, blah.
I know I haven’t been updating like I used to, and I’m not really sure why. I guess the best thing about blogging is that it’s optional. Which brings upon a thought that’s been swirling in my head for a while. When will the day come when I actually stop blogging? I know it’s coming. Does that sound pessimistic? I don’t know.
I don’t spend that much time on my laptop anymore, but I guess that’s got something to do with the fact that I’m at uni from 10:15-4 pm then I head out to see my besties, come back home, and pass out. I guess my besties being in the country has something to do with me not blogging…? Speaking of my besties, I had an argument with them two weeks ago. Apparently I have an “attitude problem”. They aren’t wrong, I do. I won’t blame it on events that have scarred me, and continue to scar me, but I’ll just go along and say they were right. I mean, they wouldn’t have sat me down and complained had they not sought for my own benefit. Right?
I’m trying to shed off 10kgs because, well, I want to look in the mirror and feel good about myself. The gnawing frustration I feel whenever I look at myself and see my Egyptian and Lebanese genes working against me is indescribable (Hello shallowness!). Mind you, I blame my mother’s yummy food for not giving me a chance to lose weight that easily. *sigh*
I’m “in like” so bad it’s not funny. The feeling has engulfed every cell in me and I feel powerless. Actually, I’ve almost killed my inner feminist numerously over the past couple of weeks. I wouldn’t say “killed”, but maybe smothered and stabbed; I can hear her wheezing and gurgling in the background. Then again, one of the hardcore feminists I know said all of us women turn to putty when the man we’re interested in give us the light of day.
Just saying that is another stab to my inner feminist. *sigh*
So I really like the guy, and I hate how I’ve got the crappiest luck when it comes to men. It’s either they’re a-holes, they don’t share the same feelings, or they live abroad. It’s the latter. He lives an hour and a half away, and seeing him isn’t really an option any time soon. I know a long-distance relationship is one of the stupidest things to bring to life, but…I feel very strongly for him. Grrr. What’s a girl to do?
Away from heartache, and the randomness of my life…I’m reading The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger and I absolutely love it! I’m not done with it, and I’m already recommending it to all my friends! To all of you who are super lazy and hate reading (shame on you), the movie adaptation is going to be released December 25, 2008.
Leaving you with a song I’ve been listening to everyday for a while:
Click here if you have issues watching the above embedded video.
Thanks to all of you for your birthday wishes! :)
Till next time world.
wow! take it easy girl.. whatever is going on with you will pass away soon enshalla and it’s good that you are focusing on studies.. AND you are not fat nor chubby and I have not yet met your moma, but as the song sez: “I got it from my mama”
You’re not cool anymore, EWW!!
Dear, you’re cool the way you are, attitude or not… you are my little tootoo!
Chika: I’ve never heard the song. But you know, there’s truth to it; I got my thighs from my mother, who got it from hers, who got it from hers. I can only blame the Lebanese for my thighs, and the Egyptian for my butt. What a murderous combination, lol.
Moey: Thanks hun. Can’t wait to see you tomorrow! Dude, it’s been three weeks!
Well…
1. I’m glad I was able to be part of the audience of your life these past few weeks. It was enlightening;p
2. You better NOT stop blogging!
3. Stop eating cake! I kill you! Grrr!
4. We aren’t killing the inner feminist.. We’re just giving her a break. *Cough*
5. I love you;*
You Wrote!!!!!!!! Ohh glorious day! :)
A- If you stop writing i shall haunt you……remember i know where you live :P
B- It’s not like you are fat…..all we ( you and i) need is a little toning….okay who am i kinda, a lot of TONING :P
C- Women of the world don’t hate me……feminism is a ‘man-made’term…stress on ‘man’ i believe in Humanism which allows you to be a tad fluffy and feel all ‘ladi da’ :P
I think you might like humanism…..check it out, being a feminist is such a cliche!
D- KEEP WRITING!!!!!!
first Samdella 3al 7alama !
as it was said….eish yumma…eish Stop blogging we ba6ee5…you’d better not !
and good luck with the 10kgs
Hey, welcome back… I’ve MISSED you!!
& I do not think u need to lose any weight, but it is going to make u feel better, then be it!
as for the uni. thingie , *pat on the back* .. besties *YaaaY*
As for the “In Like” thingie, I do not think liking someone is stupid no matter how lame it sounds, i mean you HAPPENED to like someone who lives abroad.. SO WHAT! … stupid or not, emotions keep us alive at the end of the day, That’s how different we are from computers, we feel, they don’t
& you DON’T have an attitude problem, I DO. . and guess what, I’ve had an argument about that like four hours ago … :|
That’s a lot of emotion for just a couple of weeks.
It’s not a weakness to your femininity to be head over heels for someone. If you feel he’s worth it then go for it! Long distance relationships are difficult, I know only too well but relationships always have obstacles of some sort.
One of the better performances from Amy
HEEEEEEEYYY miss u ya gazma….long time no read or see :p
keep blogging ;)
oh and i read the book a while ago and it was really good :)
miss u, love you ;) xoxo
Long distance relationships can do very well. just make sure your feelings are genuine and that they won’t die with time. there are always two sides of every story now you’ve heard this many times but really make sure if he is what he appears to be.
being in love,doesnt mean 2 hold u back,u do whats best :) plus ur physically fine ok :) just dont gain or lose weight just stay like this :)
Do like the movies get on a plane and surprise him an hour and a half away not long :P My motto is “live life with no regrets, feel like something do it now!!! don’t let the moments pass you by and 10 years later you reminisce about what if’s”
Amethyst: Fine, fine. No more bloody cake! :p Love you too! :) xoxo
D: I love how you added a stick-out-tongue smiley! So YOU! Yes, yes, , I know you know where I live. Khalas, I won’t stop blogging! lol. Will check out Humanisim; I really liked your explanation when we were munching away at McDonald’s.
Operon: Oh, but I do have an attitude problem. *sigh*
Stephen: You’re right, I hadn’t noticed how I spilled my heart out until I read your comment. You know what I’ll do, I’ll “go with the flow” and see how things go; that’s what I’ve been doing so far, might as well keep on doing the same thing.
Angel: Miss you too!! Come visit us on campus, yalla! It’s our last week there, God knows we need company!
Ateeq: That’s exactly what I’m trying to do. I just need the occasional reality-check slap to put me in place when I’m too flooded with emotion.
Sam: I’m not in “love”! Love is such a powerful emotion…
I am? But I need to lost 10kgs! 7assa eno kil mara I look in the mirror, there’s a baby cow looking back. :/
TAT: It’s been suggested by him. I just don’t want to seem too keen. Well that and how the hell am I supposed to explain travelling to my mother? “Walla Mama, I’m travelling to go see a guy I’m head over heels for?” I don’t live in a movie, this is real life, baby.
I won’t let the moment pass me by though, I’ll figure something out, and I definitely won’t be the woman in 10 years thinking of what might have been if I had the guts to say something, because I will say something. All in due time, all in due time.
LOOOL what shall i say about my butt dear!! dad use 2 make fun of other girl arses & Dear GOD wanted 2 punish him by giving him a taste of his med in me U_U
