Soon to be..

Two Panadol Night's and a “TAKE IT EASY” slogan t-shirt are not putting me to sleep. Am exited, yet anxious. They gave me 24hrs to panic, to think, to make up my mind, to look for people to help me out, to choose an outfit, and to prepare myself. I’m trying my very best to meet the deadline. Now, I have exactly 16 hours left. 16 hours to be a Mrs.

Crossing fingers,
Noora

Brideszzzzella part I

On the 11th of august i have completed a month being married. Am i!? Now u know why i havent been updating the blog with any of my news. the last couple of months has been the most eventful and important in my life. Ive completed four years of my bachelor programe, i got engaged, and got married!! Boy how things can change and revolve in such a short time. I started planning the wedding, and have to start decorating my house! everything has to be ready before the end of december! and above all this were supposed to enjoy our first days together! Aha!

I wake up every morning and mum starts drilling my head with all the details we have to do. questions about the house flooring, the paint, the furniture, the curtains, the f*** kitchen! i am so sick of it. i am supposed to enjoy doing that but seriously with all the nagging i just cant think. whenever she starts talking bout the weddin or the house i just lose interest in doing anything that day! I agree that if she stop nagging i would not accomplish anythin that is exactly why i am not asking her to quit nagging.. i just need to let it out and so i am. Not only her, but anyone i talk to starts the conversation with, "how's the wedding planning going" i mean sometimes i feeel like just telling them to shuut up about it! when i am spending time with someone and i dnt bring up the subject then i obviously intend not to talk bout it! but no some people just have to ask. wht is even more pissing off is that some people arent even considered GOOD friends start asking questions bout my wedddin dress, my hair treatments.. SERIOUSLY! just shut up!!!

Do u guys feel the stress already!!? if not am sure u will coz theres more to come.

Guess what now i am also confused wether to do a bachelorate party or a Hena night! and if yes, then i have to start planning that tooo, i have to tailor a dress, arrange the catering, flowers, photographers, DJ. holly shhit! Another thing is the mens wedding, yes i am not really involed with that but i also want my husband to have the best day of his life planned properly, so basically i do have to help with the preperations!
That is not even close to all the details i have to consider, it is too complicated to even mention all of them at once.

let me write down the list of major events to prepare for:
1- ladies' wedding
2- Gents' wedding
3- Hena night / bachelorate party
4- Honeymoon
5- House interior designing
and u calculate the details of each..

all that in 4 months!! DAMN I HAVE NO TIME

am literary freakin out,,
wait up for the next update! (mind any spellin mistakes)

yours,
N.A.O

Who's to blame?

He sprayed him with perfume, got him his cufflinks, and a watch. He said, “never cheat on your wife”, as blunt as that! “All the girls out there whom expose themselves to you and flirt, those are bitches and not worth cheating on your wife who’s your mom, your sister, your friend, and your soul mate” he said. He added, “I’ve been with your mom for around 30 amazing years, stood by her in her ups and downs, and so did she”. "Most important," he said “never let out any of your secrets, what goes between the 2 of you stays between u 2 or else, ur never gonna be trusted! Love her, praise her, and please her so that you get what you want in return, and more!".

These were a few tips from dad to my brother before leaving to his wedding.

To the guys out there who are about to get married or already are, be patient and faithful. It's too bad that I've heard of 4 divorces this month, FOUR! You can't be blamed though, but anyways, here's the list:

Dude #1 is a player.
Dude #2 has a mistress.
Dude #3 is close minded.
Dude #4 jobless lazy ass.

Too bad!
Noora


p.s. Happy 1 month anniversary brother, may you have more happy ones to come, and happy 30 years of marriage to my parents (mashallah), may the upcoming years bring them much more success and happiness.

Live life as it comes, stop thinking !!

Hey,

Between thinking about your daily schedule or about stuff that happened, you may tend to think deep think about life, the path we are in and the end. But these thoughts shouldn’t take all of your time and brain because then you would be thinking a lot about nothing. Life and the future is not in our hands and talking about them all the time doesn’t make us experts in the subject, in the other hand it makes us a bit dreamy and out of this world. Why don’t you take life day-by-day minute-by-minute enjoy everything about it instead of calculating and assuming what it would turn to be and what new surprise is gonna take place.
Don’t get me wrong I'm not saying shut down your mind and just think of somehow superficial things, I'm saying instead of analyzing and thinking a lot about life & the aim of our existence in this world let the flow of faith take place. Take life as it comes bitter sweet. Why spend hours thinking about life when in the end it always surprises you, maybe it’s the human urge to control everything around us. But it's not working! People don’t always want to hear about uncontrollable things, so life is not a way to start a conversation or make new friends. In the other hand talking, talking and talking about it would lead to boredom because as I said it's not in our hands and it's certainly not predictable.

The only result you gonna end up with is a headache & useless thread of thoughts. So take it from me a retired thinker. "Live life as it comes, stop thinking!"

The Question "Plan or not to Plan"

Hey,
Everyone keeps asking me "what are you up too?!", "what's your next decision?! " and I have a hard time answering them or is it that I don’t have an answer. This is my senior year as a university student in the beginning I didn’t think about what is next and any future plans. Although most of the people I know had their future well planned. Truthfully I'm not the planning type, never thought of the university I'm gonna study in or the major I'm gonna study. I decided based on what made sense then and what worked for me, this may sound stupid or weird but it’s the truth. I decided to study accounting not because I LOVED it, just because it would give me options later in my career and a valuable skill I can use whenever. The question now why am I thinking about it?! Maybe because unlike me, everyone is concerned about my future. It's not that I didn’t think about what is out there, what is after getting my degree, but I think I was in denial. Going through university for 4 years you have the feeling of belonging to this place. It's not always cheerful and happy when you're struggling with a work load, pressure and competition but you get used to it, you get used to the people, the morning schedule and even your brain functions in a certain way.
Part of me is panicking and the other is just want to have a great summer and stop thinking about it. Should I turn into a planner all of a sudden? Or the old trick is not working anymore?!

"The Graduation"

Hey,

The Date: June 14th – 2007

The Place: Zayed university auditorium

The occasion: The Business Sciences College graduation "Class of 2007"

Latest News: I had My Graduation well at least the unofficial one Last Week. I've always heard that it’s the most amazing feeling ever, the end of an important period and the beginning of another. But I have to admit it; it wasn’t just amazing it was mind blowing. Getting ready for the graduation and getting thought the ceremony had a different feeling, Watching our families smile and wave as we get our degrees was different. Watching our best friends celebrate with us and being happy for us was different. Having this feeling of a new beginning is different. Watching our professors smile and choke with tears as they see us is different. Taking a good look at the happy faces everywhere is different.
Through the four years of university we went through lots of changes and personality altering situations. We have been over stressed and under stressed, we experienced situations that allowed us to grow and mature. In university I met people from different families, and somehow different backgrounds, I made new friends every semester. Now I had the chance to celebrate with people who became close to me in the last four years, people who became part of my memories, my days, my classes, and my pressure. I spent time to get to know each and every one of them, even if it was through a simple "hello, how are you doing?!" in one of the university hallways. Before our moment in the ceremony I had a look at the "Class of 2007" and I was proud to be one of them.

The best part of the celebration is enjoying it with my all time-Best friends, Love u guys!!

In the End, the fact just hit me ....Im a graduate at Laaast !!

The " dedication " post

A couple of days ago, we waved goodbye to the first member of this acclaimed friendship, as she walked down the aisle in her Black graduation robe and a matching cap. With grace, she glided down the stage, overwhelmed by her friends shrilling screams from the audience. One of us accepted her diploma with so much pride it was gleaming through her eyes. The three of us stood there so proud, that Maryam, with great effort, graduated as an accountant from the School of Business and sciences in Zayed University. The ceremony was simple, and beautiful, crammed with proud parents and friends. Four years of hard laboring, calculator punching, and many frustrating nights, she graduated, FINALLY !
We admire your dedication and appraise you hard work. Congratulation sister.

On another note, the four of us have been pre-occupied dealing with our own busy lives. From planning a spectacular wedding ( No, not one of us) To summer internships. Its been good so far, trying to adjust to the drastic changes. I on the other hand, have been trying to broaden my horizon to more intersting activites; from swimming to dance lessons. However, i am now sitting in our meeting room at DIFC, which is somewhere i am seriously thinking of applying to work at.

Unfortunetly i dont have time to share some of my continous frustrations with life, but i would like to add on to my never ending list a category of people that i am seriouosly beginning to loathe! You see, i've never taken the issue of some people who find it completly acceptable for them to share some of others intimate details with the world lightly, and i've always made it clear that when it comes to my dirty laundry, i would appreciate it if they just left it in the washing machine where it belongs. But, when this issue hit one of my dearest friends, it was time for an intervention. There will no longer be any forgiveness, and definitly no tolerance. It just aggravates me when personal matters of your own are taken so lightly by others and are considered normal converstation. It makes you wonder, if you can really trust anyone outside your circle of friends. Actually it just makes you wonder: Why ? I never really knew why, but that doesnt matter anymore i guess, since the damage is already done.

Till then, take it easy
