Changes

Life brings so many changes that sometimes u cant keep up. these past few months have been a roller coaster ride and looking back now i wonder how i have survived it. My sisters have been lost especially the one closest to me. Although i now make time to talk to them or send them messages i find that i am drifting apart from them. Jouty i know we talk loads and sallu and i txt each other everyday... Nain i know you have been bz wid school and other things and i appreciate u replying to my messages... Sars i miss you... I want to know that you are ok...

On the other hand I finally gave up on love... After being in a situation where i was so happy then just being left without a goodbye has shattered my belief in finding a soul mate. Sometimes i wonder really if i really was meant to be alone... Heart ache is something i would never wish on anyone so if ur reading this and have ur ideal half  treasure them coz ur lucky...

Right now the only constant in my life is my family, my work and my studies... Hopefully i can put everything else on the back burner and concentrate on these constants.

YAB- jouty Dont read this... :)

now onto my latest drama craze. Like i said i love watching Korean Drama's and right now You're beautiful is topping the charts for me. The actors seem to be doing a good job portraying their very complex characters. The story is about a girl who pretends to be her brother by joining a pop idol group that he was supposed to sign with. As the story goes on she finds her self in mind boggling situations and how she gets out of them is even more hilarious.

Lets start with Hwang Tae Kyung played by Jang Geun Suk. I dunno much about the actor but the character he plays is very complex. HTK has a history of abandonment and therefore he doesn't like getting close to anyone. He is a cynic when it comes to faith, love and all things good. At first he came across as the bad guy but as you get to know him you realise under all that hard exterior lies a soft, warm and caring individual. As the leader of the group he keeps himself very aloof and can be really sarcastic. I love HTK because no matter how hard he tries to be you always see his soft side.

Next we Go Mi Nam/ Go Mi Nyu played by Park Shin Hye. She plays a double role in the drama. her role is one of twins and this is where it gets exciting she play both a girl and boy. She starts of as Go Mi Nyu who is a nun in training and is coerced by one of the Managers to act as her brother since he has had an accident and is in America getting treatment. This is where i thought that won't work i mean you can see staright off that she is a girl. But as the drama continued she looked more and more like a guy. Go Mi Nyu is a sweet happy go lucky character and you can imagine what happens when she meets with HTK.

Then we have Kang Shin Woo played by Jung Yong-hwa of the band CN Blue. He is the second lead in the drama. His character is one of a perfect male. When i first watched the first few Episodes i fell in love with him but then as usual i fell in love with HTK. Shin woo is kind, charming, and warm. He finds out early on that Go Mi Nam is a girl and looks after her. He doesn't tell her he knows and therein lies a problem because GMN is falling for HTK. I think my best scenes for KSW is when he takes GMN on a phone date... Now only if i could find a guy like that :)... In a way i feel bad for Shin woo since i most probably think he will end up alone unless the writers bring in a huge twist...

Last but not least we have Jeremy played by Lee HongKi from the band F.T.Island. Jeremy is such a lovable character i dont see how anyone can dislike him. His dressing is the best. He is so clueless as to whats going on. In the first few epi's he thinks Go Mi Nam is gay but that all changes and he becomes friends with Go Mi Nam always cheering her on and making her smile. It is only in Ep 10 that he discovers Go Mi Nam is actually a girl.

These four are the most hilarious characters i have seen in a long time.

Death Note

When it comes to watching foreign films/drama's i prefer watching Korean stuff. One because i am finally getting the language... (if you call know when someone says thank you, sorry, why, how, what, whats wrong? etc etc getting familiar) but i borrowed death note i don't know why it appealed to me so i picked it and sat to watch it. I have to say this film had me in grips... Light and L 2 young guys so equally sharp. their minds just amazed me. these characters had me gripped the whole movie. Its an old movie but one i would recommend if you watch foreign movies.

The holiday has come to an end...

I have to say i am sad... I haven't had as much rest as i wanted... but i prolly have been lazy the whole of this week getting away with almost anything... another 7 weeks before i get another break... Just thinking about it right now makes me shudder... Its time to get back to work...

Half the holiday gone

Its already Wednesday and I cant believe i haven't had any proper rest. Its been a hard start to the half term loosing my grand Aunt. It has made me realise i have lost 3 important people in my life this year and how i have coped with them only God can tell you. I think the quicker i get back to normality the better. I need to get back to studying as well... aish... so much to do so little time... Salma i know what you mean now... Well its back to studying for me...

The long weeks ahead

Sometime i think i really take too much on... I have so much to do so much to feed back so much everything i just wonder how i survive each day. Its been a hectic week and i am not looking fwd to the weekend since i now have to study... grrrr... anyways i am however looking fwd to half term a long week of rest and studies combined. I also want to go places so i will have to see where i can go and when...

A weekend in London

Here i was thinking that my weekend in London would be just like all the weekends i have spent at Q's place  but little did i know that it was going to be one of the best weekends ever. Let start with the Tom Tom being stubborn and trying to take us back to a closed road... luckily Suki's GPS had more sense to reroute us around that closed road. Anyways it took us longer to get to Northwood then usual and as there was a little gathering in memory of my Grandma we were rushing to get ready. We met up with family had a good time ate chilled out caught up with each other and by the time they were all gone it was 7:30 pm. It was my little cousins birthday as well so we had a little party for her. After clearing up we chilled out debating on what we should do. after 2 hours of debating (there was cake eating and tea and chocolates at regular intervals) finally at 11 pm we decided we were going for a drive. Just us girls. we left the children at home with the boys to babysit and then at finally at 11:45pm we were on our way. We went down sightseeing in Bond Street and were thinking of making our way to Edgeware Road but due to roadworks we ended up getting lost. We went to Camden Market, passes many stations (the only ones that stick to mind are Swiss cottage station and Chalk farm station) finally yet again it was Suki's GPS to the rescue. We finally got to Edgeware road where the fun really began. we walked down the road passing the numerous restaurants and Shisha Cafe's and then finally making our way down for some Shawarma. We decided to eat at the restaurant and so here we were 5 girls having a laugh on an early Sunday morning. I think by then we were all bit hyper and made the most silliest jokes and laughed at everything. At about 2:45pm the bouncer came to kick us out. That was the most hillarious experience yet as Chiru was all set on asking the bouncer to take a Photo with her but after getting kicked out she didnt even try. This was mainly because we were still laughing like lunatics. We walked all the way to the car laughing and it wasnt until we were 5 minutes away from home that the laughing actually stopped. by the time we got home it was 3:45pm. All knackered out we flopped into our respective beds and crashed for the next 6 or so hours. Come 10:30am everyone was awake and raring to go shopping and yet again this was a girls only expedition. The harlequin our most frequent hangout was where we were headed. After making minor dents on our credit cards we made our was to Mombasa Hut for some lunch and after that it was back home. What a weekend. I can honestly say that this has to have been one of the best and exciting weekends i have had in a long time.

Emotional Me

Aaaahhhhhhh... Sigh... I sometimes really think i am so emotional its hilarious... Little things make me sad... even my cousin and sibling think i am too emotional... from getting beaten in bowling to feeling sad about a forgotten  email... Lets go to getting beaten at bowling... I think maybe its the competitive nature in me... I always loved coming first be it school or Madressa... I think i lost that edge when it came to secondary school... but its still there but then when i loose i feel sad... and that makes me more frustrated... and as for forgotten emails... whether its not getting msgs from my sisters to people who say they'll email me i feel sad when i open my email and see no emails... ok so i am chatty and thats in my nature. I get told a lot that i make friends very quickly. Put me with a group of strangers and by the time i leave i will have made friends with them. I am not a naturally shy person only in some situations... but most of the time i am confident.

After this good rant i feel better...

ps My lovely sisters i havent spoken to you guys in ages... pls come online soon... xxx

Eid Mubarak

I just wanted to wish all my friends Eid Mubarak... Have a great day... mwahs

Eid is near

As Eid approaches there is a sadness it brings. This will be the first Eid without my gran and my grand uncle. It seems like only yesterday they were around esp my gran. Even though its has been a couple of years since we spent Eid together i still remember the time we all got together at our place. That was one of the memories that haunts me now. I don't mean it in a bad way but i suddenly feel so empty. My gran was the best. like i have said before she always wanted to learn what were learning and was always ready to teach us. Its surprising that after her death i found out what a truly lovely person she was. She always tried her best to be a good mom, sister and gran. As for my grand uncle even though our opinions clashed he was still an elder of the family who always gave us advice. He was always there for us. This year i lost 2 important people in my life and although the loss is hard to bear, it has been with the support of my family and friends that i have been able to cope with this loss. Thanks guys.

Volunteering

Wow i never knew i could work in such a chaotic environment and still feel content. I guess you are probably wondering where i have been... Well i volunteered my services to the senior citizens of my community and boy are they demanding... They have no patience and and usually want whatever it is they want at that very moment but the buzz of being part of team that works like a well oiled machine just made me forget the rudeness of the elders and really enjoy what i was doing. It gave me an insight on what my mom does and i think from now i will help out whenever i can.

Back to School

OMG Its finally hit me... after 2 years of just working i am going back to studying... I mean working towards my degree... Its scary... I just looked at the materials and logged on to the website and its like a whole new thing... Just thinking about it makes me scared... where am i going to find the time to do assignments and stuff... (yeah i know some of you are saying thank God she won't spend so much time on blogger). I really am looking forward to it but I am scared too... This will be the first time me doing distance learning... Learning all these new ways of learning and working to pass... so if you dont see my post for ages or dont see me online know that i am sitting in some corner of my house studying :)

Love and Ego

"Sometimes Love is for a moment, Sometimes love is for a lifetime,

Sometimes a moment is a lifetime."

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived together.

One day there was a storm in the sea and the island was about to get drowned.

Every feeling was scared but LOVE made a boat to escape.

Every feeling boarded the boat. Only 1 feeling was left.

Love got down to see who it was...

It was EGO

Love tried and tried but Ego wasn't moving and the water was rising.

Everyone asked Love to leave him and come in the boat, but Love was made to Love.

At last all the feelings escaped and Loved died with Ego on the island.

LOVE dies because of EGO

So kill EGO and save LOVE...

gift shopping= stress

I never realized until today that i could actually hate shopping. Don't get me wrong i like shopping even if i don't buy anything i just love the window shopping. Usually when i go shopping I usually have in mind what i want and where to get it from. Usually buying any sort of gifts from birthday gifts to Eid gifts to just i am thinking of you gift doesn't stress me out so much but today i think i spent over an hour just trying to look for gifts and i came up with nothing. Nothing seems to feel right and shops these days just don't do stuff like they used. So its back to the drawing board for me. If anyone one has any suggestions please just shoot them at me cause right now my mind is pretty much blank.

Interesting

As i was listening to the lecture today one of the points he brought up was very interesting. I never considered it at that angle but today it gave me a whole new view. At the time of the Prophet's migration from Makkah to Madina the tribes in Makka had plotted to kill him. The night of his migration Ali (AS) slept in the prophets bed  risking his life to save the Prophets life. Now according to history the Tribes of Makkah had decided to share the blamefor murdering the Prophet equally and hence there was one assassin from each tribe. They formed allies with each other taking equal responsibility for the crime they were going to commit. Does this ring a bell? We have just seen History repeat itself with the war in Iraq. Countries formed allies with each other in order to take equal blame for the atrocities they were going to commit. Now some people may not agree with me and say that the war on Iraq was to stop terrorism but even now after 6 years there war is still ongoing and every year on the day of Ashura (10th Muharram) Innocent people are killed traveling to the Shrine of Hussein. It just seems so interesting to me that even with all our technological advances we still live in the past.

First day back at work...

Surprisingly I was not tired... maybe it coz My clothes hanger broke at exactly 8:25 am this morning and made a big bang that woke me up lol... but apart from that it was pretty much a quiet day. I got some paperwork done found out my training programs for the next year looks like its going to be a very bz year with me flitting from one place to another... Other than that it was a quiet day. i think the most exciting part of my day was looking at the new resources we got ... ( yeah i am excited about those i can unpack them tomorrow and get first bids on what i can play with :D... lol ) I hope 2moro is a bit more exciting...

Back to work

The long and beautiful summer has now come to an end. 7 weeks of rest, relaxing and just plain chilling is now over. Alas its back to work for moi from tomorrow. Although I am looking forward to it i feel sad that i will now not be able to sleep in or stay up late... but then again it going to be fun going back to work... Hopefully i wont be falling asleep ;). So what have i done in these 7 weeks lets recap...

The holidays first started with my friends wedding which i have to say was beautiful. I have never enjoyed myself this much.  Then we had the various trips with family to Kettering and London and Essex. Now those were the times i really had fun from sitting on death defying rides ( yeah i mean that horrible pirate ship in wickstead park) to just chilling at home in Essex. These memories will forever stay with me. and then how can i forget my late night conversations with my sisters... Its funny how i haven't watch anything this summer. I had plans but i guess they were changed... anyways after all this i think its time i actually went and did something useful. So its back to work for me... until next years summer....

Fairy cakes....

I  love baking and sometimes just baking the most easiest and most simple things gives you you so much pleasure for example fairy cakes... they are just so easy to make and so brilliant and you can decorate them however you want... with glaze icing, chocolate fudge and also put sprinkles... anyways i was making fairy cakes today and after baking waiting for them to cool and then icing them and putting stars and choc chips on them i was so pleased... like i was a kid again and i had achieved something... I didn't think making such small cakes would make me smile so much... i think they are better then baking big cakes... so from now on everyone is getting a fairy cake for their birthday with one candle on it... beware... :D

The champion is back

Yay i made pro in wii bowling and today i have to say that i got nearly 6 strikes in a row... with a personal best of 219 who can complain... i know there are people out there who probably have better scores then me but i am proud at what i have achieved. Another thing that brightened up my day was the girls in our house rule we all won our tennis matched while the men lost theirs... hahahaha... girl power 4eva...

Being single

Ok so here i am one of the few from my friends circle who is still single and HAPPY. Now u wonder why i write happy in caps... its just to point out that i am happy. Anyways my post today is to all of them out there (except you sars since u don't nag me) that if getting engaged or married or both makes u a match maker then I'd rather be single. Why is it that everyone who finds their life partner start stressing about their single friends... I mean even family gosh one gets engaged so that means the rest do to. Come on tell me, those of you who are now engaged and married, how hard was it to find your ideal match? I bet u went through so much stress unless you are one of the lucky few who married you high school sweetheart. Its not easy in a world where divorce rates are shooting up, where fidelity is sold for a bit of pleasure in the side. yeah i know i seem to be holding out for the stars but surly a girl or guy can be picky. I mean this is someone you are going to spend the rest of your life with. You will have children with them, grow old with them, weather storms, celebrate the good times and grieve during sorrowful times. This is the person who will nurse you when you are ill and vice versa. So tell me why is it so hard for those who have already found their partners to understand how hard it is for us singletons? Dint get me wrong i do want to find the right person its just taking me longer then most so all you people out there who have been badgering me to get married i will when i find the ideal guy and not before that. :)

Miracle

A sand storm that went through Saudi Arabia and southern Iraq but stopped when it reached the Holy city of Najaf.  It stood still just like a mountain. 

When i first watched this video i was truly amazed at the miracles Allah (SWT) shows us. How does a Sand storm come to a halt? This is truly and only by the power of the Almighty. Subahanallah.

Was i born too early or too late?

Most days as i sit and wonder, This question often comes to my mind. Was i born years too early or years too late? So now you must be wondering why is my mind not made up? well I can never decide whether i have traditional principles or futuristic principles... For example i love family... I think i am always excited if i am about to meet a new cousin (sometimes i think that scares them off) To me family is very important to me even my four most closest friends are my sisters. If i was to introduce them to a stranger i would this is my younger sister. These days family had become and old age principle... whereas i love staying in a big family there are people i know who couldn't wait to leave home and stay on their own. but then i think i might never get to see the automated cars where u just say to the computer where you want to go and relax. (As you can see the influence of the in death series has already started to set in)

There are times when i wonder if i was too mature when i was younger and now i am just too much of a big kid. i mean i know my responsibilities but now playing childish games, painting like a kid and even watching cartoons is not embarrassing. i even love sitting on kiddie rides. : D but then i still wonder when i will be able to play a virtual reality game or even come home and say where is mom or dad and instantly be able to locate them instead of shouting Mom or Dad or even have a treadmill with different environment program eg a beach or a park etc.

 So here i am in 2009 wondering whether I was born in just the right century... smack bang in the middle... :)

Pearls of wisdom

Hunger, Dua, Sadaqa & Istighfar are ways of defeating Shaytan.

Tawassul- A means to reach a certain goal, nearness.

Sura Maidah verse 35

"... Seek means of nearness to him and stride hard in his way..."

Prophet (SAW) said: "Nobody has understood Allah except my myself and Ali"

Using the fourteen Masoomeens as wasila is not shirk as when we start Dua-e-Tawassul we say "O Allah, I beseech Thee, and turn towards Thee," How can this be shirk when we are calling to Allah before using Masoomeen as a wasila to gain nearness to him.

Fishes...

At the bottom there are 5 Fishes...

The Blue one is me

The Yellow one is Jouty

The Green one is Sars

The Red one is Nain

And Last but not least the Orange one is Salz...

The Power of Prayers

Maryam , a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store.

She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries.

She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food.

John Mafenesi, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store at once. Visualizing the family needs, she said:

'Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can.'
John told her he could not give her credit, since she did not have a charge account at his store.

Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two. The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family.

The grocer said in a very reluctant voice, 'Do you have a grocery list?'

Maryam replied, 'Yes sir.'

'O.K' he said, 'put your grocery list on the scales and whatever your
grocery list weighs, I will give you that amount in groceries.' Maryam, hesitated a moment with a bowed head, then she reached into her purse and took out a piece of paper and scribbled something on it. She then laid the piece of paper on the scale carefully with her head still bowed.

The eyes of the grocer and the customer showed amazement when the scales went down and stayed down. The grocer, staring at the scales, turned slowly
to the customer and said begrudgingly, 'I can't believe it.'

The customer smiled and the grocer started putting the groceries on the other side of the scales.

The scale did not balance so he continued to put more and more groceries on them until the scales would hold no more.

The grocer stood there in utter disgust. Finally, he grabbed the piece of paper from the scales and looked at it with greater amazement.

It was not a grocery list, it was a prayer, which said:

YaAllah, you know my needs and I am leaving this in your hands.'

The grocer gave her the groceries that he had gathered and stood in stunned silence.

Maryam thanked him and left the store.

The other customer handed a fifty-dollar bill to the grocer and said;

'It was worth every penny of it. Only Allah Knows how much a prayer weighs.'

THE POWER OF PRAYER: When you receive this, say a prayer. That's all you have to do.

Just stop right now, and say a prayer of thanks for your own good fortune.
Then please send this to all your friends and relatives.

I believe if you will send this testimony out with prayer in faith, you will receive what you need God to do in your and your families' life .

So dear heart, trust Allah to heal the sick, provide food for the hungry, clothes and shelter for those that don't have as we do. Ameen Yarab

Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive.

There is no cost but a lot of rewards.

May you always walk with Angels

My prayer for you today:

The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hands that will send this message to others shall not labor in vain, the mouth saying Ameen to this prayer shall laugh forever. Remain in Allah's love as you send this prayer to everybody on your list. Have a lovely journey of life! Trust in Allah with all your heart and He will never fail you because He is
Awesome!

If you truly need a blessing, continue reading this email:

O Allah, most Gracious most merciful, I pray to you that you abundantly bless my family and me. I know that you recognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in you.

I send up a prayer request for blessings for not only the person who sent this to me, but for me and all that I have forwarded this message on to. And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything. I thank you in advance for your blessings.

Grams advice and getting ready

My 21st birthday party was held 3 weeks after the actual date since it was so hard to get everybody together. Since it was late my dad decided to hold a masquerade ball. Only the best for his little flower and also to out show his brothers. So with plans underway for this ball i just hoped that there were no slimy characters my father was planning to introduce me too. I could do with a break and after all it was my 21st birthday bash and i was allowed to enjoy it.

So as the day dawned all my sisters, sisters-in-law and cousins were making the last minute preparations while grams and i enjoyed the day at a spa. At the spa we got facials. manicures, pedicures and mud baths. At the spa Grams and i were chatting about the husband hunt. I told her what had been going on and she found it quite hilarious the way i spoke about the different characters.

"Honey I hope you become the first granddaughter of mine to celebrate her 22nd birthday a spinster. Your Gramps and his sons still live in the 16th century... I want you to fall in love get to know your partner before actually marrying him. That way you know he won't turn out to be a chauvinist like your gramps.!

"Grams!" I was shocked... Grams was actually on my side... I never knew she felt so strongly about this custom. I was so happy. It was like Christmas having got exactly what i wanted. With Grams on my side i could conquer the world. As we got buffed and shined grams and I talked about what i wanted to do in my life. Finally at 4pm grams and i were ready to leave and made our way to the hotel where my ball was being held. I wasn't allowed to peak into the ballroom so i made my way to my room. There i stood and looked at the shimmering blue ball gown. Simple and elegant yet very eye catching. My mask was blue and silver with feather on the sides. I had opted for one with a band so i wouldn't have to keep holding it up. As i waited for time to pass i thought about what grams had said. would I ever find the one guy who would love me? So far all i could see in my future was characters like the one i had met. As i started to get ready i thought about the elaborate schemes my family had thought up for tonight. My main mission was to get through tonight unscathed. i applied minimal make up and then put on my dress. I truly felt like Cinderella going to a ball but i know tonight i would not meet my prince charming. I quickly checked my appearance in the mirror put on my blue stiletto heels and made my way to the door when suddenly there was a knock

The Good old school days!!!!! Part one

I remember when i first went to school in England and had to lug my heavy school bag around. There i was standing thinking to myself "where am i? what am i doing here?" I didn't know anyone and i was just plain scared. As i was led to my class all my memories from back home came flooding back... 

Man i really loved school then... I mean the stuff we got up to... lets just say we were a rowdy bunch...

First was hitting the tennis ball into the construction site for 6 nearly every day... and then trying to get the ball back... that really made the teachers mad but hey that's all that we could play it was either cricket or football and i don't think dealing with scraped knee's was high on the teachers agenda. Ok so the first term passed relatively peacefully accept for the time i got thrown out of class for not talking... I couldn't believe it... I always talked with plan and never got caught but the one time i decide to pay attention the teacher thinks i am the one who is talking and get thrown out. Talk about what goes around come around. 

so came term 2... now that was the settling in term as we moved from the downstairs class rooms to the upstairs class rooms. let me just add we had set class rooms. There was no need to move around with a heavy bag because the teachers came to us rather then us going to them... no wonder we had a relaxed time. Anyways coming back to term 2 it was new students new teachers and a whole load of new rules. For one we had gotten uniforms which made us look like waitresses in a restaurant. But hey it beat some of the uniforms the other kids in other schools were wearing. As the months passed we came to end of Feb when the year 8's locked the teachers in the staff room. Yes we had a small faculty of teachers. Back to locking the teachers well as usual us year sevens got blamed... why because we had a reputation for playing pranks on nearly everyone. As far as punishments were concerned this was one of the worst ones... we had to stand out in the quadrangle for all the school to see and face up looking at sun. After 10 minutes looking up into the fiery rays of the sun the year 9's decided to step in and show the teachers who the real culprits were. That set the tone to the battle between the year 7's and year 8's which would climax on April fools day. The weeks before that were a nightmare since both years were trying to prove that they were the supreme pranksters. It all came down to April's fool when they year 8's decided to scare the teachers into thinking one of their class mates had collapsed and died. I felt that was going to far but some of the teachers did actually get scared and run to the class room where the alleged dead body was. They were in for a shocker or at least the year 8's were since they teachers did not take it kindly to frightened like that. So yeah they were in detention that lunch time. It was time for the year 7's to show the school that we were smart, cunning and clever. Basically we flooded the whole school. How we managed to get away with it to this day i will never know but we got away and reigned supreme. We were the king's of pranksters. 

The school i was standing in here in England was nothing like back home. Grey and dreary with everyone rushing to get to class on time i felt alone and sad... i missed my teachers and friends and wanted to head back home... What prison had i ended up in?

The Day so far...

Today has been a lazy day... and yes i do mean a lazy day... Good news... Sallu is back... wohoo it was great to hear her voice... the poor thing is in the jet lag stage... Okay so far today i did some editing for chiru;s Application... why to people think its nice to put a character limit (yes i mean character limit) they even count a space as a character... how are you supposed to sell yourself if you cant even write much... anyways so i did that... read a chapter from my book, and basically chilled out...  i love my lazy days... But the night ended with a hilarious game of Wii bowling... with chiru becoming a pro now i am determined more then ever to take back my championship title... now with the weekend looming and Q planning to come over on the weekend it should be fun... Maybe i will even get some writing done :D

The obedient wife

'The Obedient Wife' 

There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money.
Just before he died, he said to his wife...'When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me.'
And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.
 

Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, and just
before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, 
'Wait just a moment!'   
She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they rolled it away.    
So her friend said, 'Girl, I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money in there with your husband.'
The loyal wife replied, 'Listen, I'm a Christian; I cannot go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket with him.' 
You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?' 
'I sure did,' said the wife. 'I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a cheque.... If he can cash it, then he can spend it.'

I love this one... It just makes me laugh and be proud of being a woman... Guys out there can u handle this joke?

Quiz night

So i was bored and took these quiz's so as to read an analysis on my self... The blue comments are my own :)

What my dreams say about me?

You are a very serious individual.

Your dreams say that you have a hard time having fun. You may be too preoccupied with work or something similar. If your dreams are sad or scary, try to learn to have a little more fun. However, if your dreams end up happy, then you may be fine as you are. Remember, nothing in the world of dreams and the human mind is definite. 

I dunno if this is true or not... you tell me...

Who is your soulmate?

Belongs With Someone With Rhythm

Your future lover should be someone with talent. Someone who can juggle your busy schedule and make it work. You guys have something extremely important in your life in common. 

Hahaha... bz schedule... i wonder what that schedule is...

Where will i be 10 years from now? 

Theme Parks

10 years from now.. you'll be seen in a theme park having a walk with your loved one! You enjoy living the life for the moment..You also love traveling! You always take things slow and calm! But beware, time passess by, you never know maybe later or tomorrow would be your last day and you'll regret the things you haven't done! 

I wouldn't be surprised

What 2009 song am i?

 

The Climb - Miley Cyrus

You are a climb. You are reaching for your goals and believing who u truly are. Your very sweet and sensitive to everyone you know. This makes you very appealing to people. Everyone knows that you are the quiet, shy, mature SEXY person

:)

Whats my maturity level? (this shud be a laugh...)

10-14

In the middle school range of maturity, there are certain lines you're bound to cross. Laughing at some things (such as someone falling over), you're learning how to keep you mouth shut.

Lol... 

Personality analysis...

The Entertainer - You throw the best parties in town, can take home the bacon and fry it up in a pan. Your magnetic personality keeps your calendar full of suitors. You are a true people-person and friends flock to your pad for comfort and cheer. What kind of party will you be throwing this weekend?

Just so you know... it was rubbish... but makes for comical reading :D

Nintendo wii

Who would have ever thought that this game console would give us family time. We all enjoy it and have different faves... but in this post i want to talk about the games from Wii sports.

Tennis
I like it but right now i feel cheated as my opponents seem to have double the skill level while everyone else gets easy opponents or one with matching skills. I seem to be losing all my matches at the moment... I need some alone time with the Wii to catch up with everyone.

Baseball
Right this is one game i don't play at al. The first time i played i kept getting out. Its just too much to play... If it was cricket maybe i would have had a go but since i am not interested i stay away from it.

Golf
I dont have patience to play the real thing... I don't think the Wii version will interest me either. I just can't get into the groove of it... I try though...

Bowling
Now this is my fave game. I managed to stay on top of everyone until our resident champion came and beat me to it. I now have made it my mission to take back my title...

Boxing
I am the only one who play this... I find it a good game for anger management... I can now just pretend my opponent is the person i am mad at and give them a good thrashing :P... even though my skill isn't so high i manage to pummel my opponents at every round. I love it... Muhahaha

Another fave of mine is Mario kart. I love the characters and the tracks... i find it most times difficult even though i know how to drive. It shames me that my niece and nephew are much better then me at this game... sniff sniff... I might have to practice some more.
