Update

hey hey hey !!!!

Incase u haven't read my previous post, here's a short version of it and an update to it.
I turned 21 5 days ago, and asked my friends to through me a surprise birthday party and told them that I expect (A B.I.R.T.H.D.AY...P.A.R.T.Y) not just any birthday. The gurlies planned it and was scheduled on Friday 17th at 5 p.m. We gathered at Loushi's, dressed up and so. N.A.O and myself went to pick M from her place while A and Loushi went straight to THE PLACE. Although I asked them like a zillion question about what typa make-up and clothes I should be wearing, if it’s indoors or outdoors, if the place require wearing my abaya and shaila or not, but I seriously wasn’t able to link any of the answers to a place here in Dubai lol! .. So, got to M’s, picked her up, then out of the blue N.A.O decides to blind fold me, I was like OWWWWWWKAAAYYY that’s freaky, anyhoo, I had no idea loosing your sight for half an hour would make u all shaky and confused coz awl what I saw behind that black ribbon were dimmed lights. We reached the place, was blind folded all the way from the parking to THE PLACE *thank you N.A.O for leading and embarrassing me lol*..
Finally, we reached THE PLACE, Loushi and A were there, flashing there cameras & taking pictures of the FREAKED OUT GAL!.. I took off the ribbon, and TADAAAAAAAAAAAAA…I’M IN A YACHT in Dubai Marina!!. The weather was “AHH”MAZING, my friends were too. I swear it was one of the best nights of my life. We cruised around for 3 hours, the view was breathtaking, we got to breath FFFFFFRESSSSHSHSHSH air, like really fresh! We took pictures, got silly n stupid, played some music, and enjoyed every sec on that yacht. It was windy and the waves were hitting the yacht like really hard and it was jumping up and down, it was freaky and each one us started imagining whats gonna happen if they fell in the sea. These 4 hours passed so quick, I just wish if we stayed mooooore!

It was really amazing, I just can’t get over it! I probably should accept the fact that I should stop partying and get serious coz my pervy boss is waiting for me on Sunday and expecting some serious work lol.. "aaaaahh I don't wanna sleeeep, NO NO NO IT'S NOT OVER!"

U guuys,. Thank you my friends, u awl made my ...umm... not day but my whooooolee 21st year!

Luv ya!

(dnt read it if ur to lazy to do so, it’s quiet long)

A coupla weeks ago, & along with two friends, N.A.O and YOURS TRULY won an Interior Design competition that was sponsored by one of the local interior design companies. It’s something HUUUGE to the extent that our pictures were in every news paper, magazine..etc, and still are!.. It’s been built by the company that sponsored the competition and it was displayed at INDEX. It feels great when people stop u while ur walking in the exhibition trying to make conversations with you by asking u if u were the young designers who won the competition and blah blah blah.. Finally, we’r famous ;) "Am I hearing an applause?" ..uh huh.. bar lounge..uhm..

Anyhoo, since I luuuv photography, I always thought of having a photoshoot, and offcourse my friends are my models, so we all agreed on a day, got prepared for the photoshoot (a few task lights and a purple bed sheet from A’s). It was AAAAWWSOME, the girls got a few outfits, got all glamorous, and dirty too “Ohh did I just mention that?”. Things went great. I uploaded almost 500 images to my laptop and we all gathered to see them. Deleted them from my camera so that Loushi would take pictures of me. She did, and they were greeeaat! I uploaded them too to my laptop, and saved loushi’s pictures on a cd. Out of the freakin blue, my laptop froze so I decided to switch it off; then on so that it functions. Switched it on again, some tiny icon appeared and I had no idea what the f*ck it was. Thought it was simple, thought it could be fixed, so i took it to the apple store and the dumb Philipino ass said that she has to format the disc and by that am gonna loose all my folders there. I had the chance to choose between some better person to fix it or format. I decided not to go with formatting, so I went to the technician in uni and ask him for help. I did the next few days, and he said the harddisk is DEAD and there is no way that I can get all th epictures and folders back! I'm still in denial. Hope I get over it sometime soon.

AHA, I’M 21! I CAN GO CLUBBING, GET DRUNK DO AWL THE DIRTY STUFF, but hmm.. oohh nothing am just blabbing. Anyways, I tured 21 on the 13th, and imagine I had the chance to celebrate it at loushi’s at 12 a.m :D That was unbelievable, I’ve never had this chance, but it just happened that I was there at almost 12 without mentioning the reason behind that :p

Today a friend of us arranged this beach/TREO-Birthday party for urs truly and 2 other November pals, it was amaaaazing, the weather was great, lost a coupla kilo’s coz of the serious dancing that was going on. I was so pissed that M., A. and Loushi didn’t make it to the party cause of work and shit, I just went with N.A.O and a friend. We had a lot of fun “I know I mentioned that earlier but whatever, u hafta read it anyways”. My mom called at 11:30 and she was like “Noora, where are u? IT’S 11:30!” with her NOORA DN’T PISS ME OFF OR ELSE voice. I freaked out for a sec then ignored. Got back home by 11:50 and guess what? THE GURLIEEEEESSSSS GLAMM’D UP MY WALL WITH THE PICTURES LOUSHI TOOK OF ME ON THE PHOTOSHOOT DAY, AND SOME BALOOONS AND RIBBONS SCATTERED ALL OVER THE BED!!! AHH I JUST WISH I CAN POST A PICTURE OF IT, IT’S SSOOOO AMAAZING I SWEAAAARRR!!!! And now am not pissed at u guys, this was one heck of a pay back!

I’ve been bugging my friends for the last coupla weeks about how am gonna celebrate my birthday this year and told them that am expecting A LOT from them this time, and I guess there’s something great waiting for me on Friday, so I'm so exsited about it. BTW WHY AM I SHARING THIS WITH U GUYS?

I’m starting my internship on Sunday, I was so exsited about the place am gonna be working in till the moment I found out that my boss is a PERV! Lol.. Freaky huh?! *how the hell haven't i noticed that when he asked to interview me when I was supposed to be interviewed by his daughter?*

PEACE AWL!

The " Men are like " Post

So i got this forward from some friend, and i thought it was absolutely hilarious.

Men are like laxatives .. They irritate the crap out of you

Men are like Bananas .. The older they get, the less firm they are

Men are like Weather .. Nothing can be done to change them

Men are like Chocolate bars .. Sweet, smooth and they usually head to your hips

Men are like Blenders .. You need one, but you're not quite sure why

Men are like commercials .. You dont believe a word they say

Men are like department stores .. Their clothes are always 1/2 off

Men are like Government Bonds .. They take sooo Long to mature

Men are like Mascara .. They usually run at the first sign of emotion

Men are like Popcorn .. They satisfy you, but only for a little while

Men are like Snowstorms .. You never know when they're coming

Men are like Lava lamps .. Fun to look at, but not very bright

Men are like Parking spots .. The good ones are taken, the rest are handicapped


This resembles no connection to me, or my opinions. I still love em' and know that we cant live without em' ; )

The " Dream " post

Alot of people have been asking me lately whether i am satisfied with how things are right now, or whether i would like to change anything, or the ultimate question that i always fail to answer, Whether am happy?

I was lying in bed 10 minutes ago, and then suddenly a vivid image flashed across. It was so clear, so beautiful, so God Damn soothing. This is what i want at this moment.

I want to wake up in my king size, white sheeted bed, to a well lit room, with wide clear glass windows that reflect nasty sunlight in my eyes. I would wake up, stretch my arms moaning, just like they do it in movies. I want to get up and splash cold water in my face, tasting the fresh water every time i rinse. After that i want to head downstairs to my own livinig room. The one i decorated myself. And no, not with classy artifacts and golden frameworks, instead with a sleak couch and a couple of buddhist heads sitting on my side tables. I would make myself the nastiest coffee because obviously i cant make coffee, and still didnt get the hang of it. My mornings would be quick at home, because i usually wake up late, especially after leaving my alarm to snooze for 40minz.

What i want ?? i want to head out, not in a car, but walk. I really want to walk to school, and feel the cool breeze through my tied pony tailed hair. Greet my friendly neighbour and pat his dog Rusty on my way out. And just before i reach school, i head out to my favorite coffee place, because the thing i made at home was definitly not coffee. I want to walk in and have the waiter, Alessandro, whom i know by his first name, greet me and order me my usual. I want to have a usual.

I want to be in a school where they dont give a fuck about attendance. You attend, you dont, who gives a damn, its your life. Am not a kid anymore. I dont have to rush my life and try and make it at 8:00 sharp or else am considered absent. I want to be in a school with a proper student council. A council that deals with real issues, not events such as Kareoke nights and whether we can extend the curfew for dorm poeple so they can party harder. Hell i want to be in a place where i dont have to walk on marble. Who am i, A princess ?? i dont think so. I want to debate, argue, be involved in riots, fight for a cause, anything political, anything with a real meaning.

At the end of the day, i want to hang out with friends, at my usual hang out, where i just sit and catch up and maybe even invite my girlfriends over for a sleepover. And if they were buzy, i just want to come back home to an empty house. Where am the queen, and my furniture are my peers; i dont want to say servants because i love them too much. I want to kick back, have a nice turkey sandwhich and watch Conan O' Brian. And if i cant get my lazy ass upstairs i can simply sleep on my couch.

Thats what i want. A life of my own.
