Happy New Year’s, people!

Unlike many people I know/asked about 2008, I’ve had a pretty good year. Here’s a quick round up:

Jan: I felt courageous enough to write about religion for once. It was extra-sensitive since it was about mu7aram, shee3a & senna.. Had some pretty positive reactions and I’m glad.

Feb: I got my iMac! yumm..

Mar: I discovered TED.. I love you, Sir Ken Robinson!

Apr: Was called a computer illiterate by the MOE (me, the blogger!), bought my P1i SE cell and gave my “Eight Intelligences” presentation.

May: Got into sewing and cooking again..

June: The “6 Quirks Tag” epidemic lol

July: Unleashed my evil teacher side and posted all the pics of students’ unbelievable spelling/writing scandals lol

Aug: Turned 24 and had an amazing birthday party! Missed Jax and prayed that her father gets well.. Oh, and set up my own little home-made studio hehe

Sept: Started school & Ramadan.. I took up a temporary senior teacher’s position in the beginning of the semester, getting on the good side of the headmistress even though the majority of colleagues were being asses about it.

Oct: Amer’s new-found singing talents are discovered.. and Def Poetry Jams, yum & yum!

Nov: Found out that I’m not allowed to be social *rolls her eyes* and Obama wins the US elections..

Dec: Got engaged, taking a brief break from blogging and getting into Mu7aram all over again..

I feel like I’ve grown up, learned more from life and school and family and friends and I’m grateful. I may have been a bit too busy for the internet, but I guess that’s how life is. It’s busy, it’s noisy, it’s funny, it’s energizing, it’s annoying and it tests your patience whether you like it or not.

Here’s to a much more exciting year :*

Woah, it’s actually been more than ten days since i’ve last blogged about anything *scratches head*

Other than the fact that I’m suffering from writer’s block, I haven’t been online for a really long time.. I do check my netvibes feed reader from time to time, take a stroll around facebook, leave a comment or two around blogs, but i’m not really there there…

Life’s been busy (I know i know, you’re all bored of that excuse).. School’s about to take a break for finals, so we’re wrapping up manahej and tying up loose ends.. I got engaged.. I’ve been working out more, and not the usual running up and down stairs, dancing/jumping around like a crazy person, like real real working out with breathing and “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8.. and again! 3 4 5 6 7 8″ and moving around according to rules and body organs lol Now all i need to do is watch what i eat.. damn bread!

I may not be online for the upcoming days either since lots of stuff need to be done before a deadline.. it’s nice, having a to-do list and checking things off..

Till then, I’ll seeya guys around the blogosphere

Hahahaha I love this! I found this on 2twentythree3’s blog… 40 inspirational speeches in two minutes:

Transcript:

“Will you fight?!”

“No! We will run.. and we will live!”

“Shame on you. This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re going to let it be the worst. And I guarantee a week won’t go by in your life you won’t regret walking out, letting them get the best of you. Well, I’m not going home. We’ve come too far!

And I’m going to stay right here and fight for this lost cause. A day may come when the courage of men fails… but it is not THIS day. The line must be drawn HERE. This far, no further! I’m not saying it’s going to be easy. You’re going to work harder than you ever worked before. But that’s fine, we’ll just get tougher with it! If a person grits his teeth and shows real determination, failure is not an option.

That’s how winning is done! Believe me when I say we can break this army here, and win just one for the Gipper. But I say to you what every warrior has known since the beginning of time: you’ve got to get mad. I mean plum mad dog mean. If you would be free men, then you must fight to fulfill that promise! Let us cut out their living guts one inch at a time, and they will know what we can do! AWWOOO!!!

Let no man forget how menacing we are. We are lions! You’re like a big bear, man! This is YOUR time! Seize the day, never surrender, victory or death… that’s the Chicago Way! Who’s with me?

Clap! Clap! Don’t let Tink die! Clap! Alright! Let’s fly! And gentlemen in England now abed shall know my name is the Lord when I tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our Independence Day!“

Ello ello… Once again, it’s Eid Al-Adh’ha…

But what makes this Eid even more special is the fact that my mom’s gone to Haj.. Enshalla betred bil salama on the 12th of Dec. 2008.. Allah ered kil el 7ejjaj bil salama enshalla

Even though it’s not related, here’s a video of my 11 month old cousin Aseel (who you may have seen in my DevART gallery), dancing to various polyphonic ringtones… We’re a joyful happy bunch, we are lol

Enjoy Eid, everybody!

Yes, I’ve been gone for a while, yes, school is busy, and yes life is busy.. etc etc etc, the usual excuse people give for leaving their blogs for a while, blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda..

Let’s cut to the chase, I’m obviously a man. No, I don’t have… the equipement… down there or anything..

A website just told me that I’m 94% male according to my browsing history lol (almost scared you, huh? You can admit it, don’t be chicken :p)

I found the link to this website on Chocolate Mints’s blog and while she’s 100% female, I’m a macho macho maaaannn *dances*
