10/21/09 06:53 pm - She wears her heart on her sleeve

So far I am very impressed with my new work.

I tried a C200 today and I'm not so sure it's my kind of car.

It sucks when you start to have expectations...because it seems that they cannot be met. But now I finally understand how he must have felt, the way he acted...I can understand it better now.

I have so much work to finish this weekend. My literature review, a presentation for work, my finance presentation for school. I dunno why I'm not really up for anything lately.

It's funny how a while ago we were looking at that Alice magazine and thought it would be cool if poupee girl had some of the outfits, or well, my wish list item was the strawberry tights and my wish was fulfilled!

In Ramadan I went to Deira City Center to hunt for Hello Kitty stationery supplies. However, when I got to where the Sanrio store was I discovered that it had moved (to a larger store); but it was replaced with an actual stationery store! That is where I found the following items (and purchased nothing from Sanrio, that's a first lol):

10/19/09 02:22 pm - Hallow's End

Another bullet point entry to organize my thoughts.

  • Yesterday marked the start of Hallow's End on World of Warcraft. My mage is at 10 out of 16. I think the G.N.E.R.D achievement won't be too difficult at Alterac Valley or Wintergrasp, haven't done PVP as much as I used to. The Check Your Head achievement might be challenging if I can't find any more pumpkin heads. I'm also worried about the Sinister Calling achievement...I did brewfest daily and still couldn't get the Ram, I really wanted it...I got the achievement for the Kodo, though.

  • Since I was upset about not getting the Ram (even though I saw it drop on both my characters SO many times just got out-rolled on it), I decided to go for Mag'har rep to get a Talbuk mount. I bought 6 of them! lol Can't decide what to do next...maybe try to get my fishing high enough to do the dailies.

  • I will not forgive people that forget about me! ):<

  • New job starts Wednesday! (:

  • First ride in over TWO MONTHS was on Saturday, rode D and had no stamina to do much. She has such a comfortable canter but she dropped her head and I had my first fall of the season and scraped/bruised my chin...lol! My baby C is doing competitions now, I'm so proud of him! Looking forward to next week's lesson.

  • Got 2 bathing suits yesterday...the first one has one strap and the other is strapless. Had a swimming lesson yesterday and found out that I can swim freestyle, dolphin and frog. Go figure! I never knew! lol

  • Lastly I wanted to show you guys the compact (well, it is kind of big) mirror that I got a few months ago. It is supposed to look like a white chocolate bar, ironic as I don't like white chocolate. I prefer dark chocolate over milk, too.


10/9/09 05:23 pm - don't worry, be happy!


  • Started an observational internship at a certain nameless government organization, only to be forced to leave them a week later due to breech of contract, and the demand for unethical courses of action. It's fine. I am confident that it will work out for the best. I have nothing to be sad about, because at least I now understand my moral limitations.

  • I am extremely tired lately, due to having had work on a daily basis and classes. Due to that I haven't had much time for WoW...yet this is when I actually want to play WoW!

  • As for WoW, I have two newbie characters that I've been working on lately: my mage and my priest. Lately people have been wanting to party my priest over my mage...so I only do solo stuff on mage...like level my professions and such. My current goal is to max mining, followed by maxing enchanting (ahhh hella expensive!), and hopefully get a talbuk mount.

  • Made plans to station-hop via the Dubai Metro this weekend!

  • Yesterday, I went to my spa for a facial...I felt like my skin was breaking out and I really blame cream de la mer, it is much too rich for me. Ended up picking this sugar plum oil-free moisturizer to use instead, it feels extremely light on my skin...almost too light to be honest. I want something to bring a balance between oily and dry...wonder if this is it.

  • Officially haven't been on a horse since August, withdrawal symptoms! Helpppp!

  • Decided that...it was finally time for a violet stam. Uhuh.

  • Managerial finance is tough- but my friend and I are going to figure it out together!

  • Rediscovered my love for books: more on this later.

  • I got a new pink electronic...more on this later as well! Need to mess around with it a bit more.

  • Been putting rose petals in my cinnamon tea- I recognize the uses of cinnamon, yet I still refuse to yield to its taste, so I try to cover it up.

9/28/09 09:53 pm - Love and War and Snow

Earlier today I went into the living room to find my mother and brother watching a movie on VHS. The scenes seemed to be the kind that would normally turn me into a nervous wreck, but wait...that looks familiar! They said the movie was Volcano, it made me laugh. I was the one that purchased the movie and watched it along with my other natural disaster favourites when I was younger. I do wonder what happened there, how did I shift interests like that?

Currently copying batch 2 of the dvds that [info]betsuni gave me. Yes I took so long haha. Will hopefully give them back to you soon ♥ thank you! I still need to locate some dvds that I got from [info]ai_chyan (thru nari)...I know I put them somewhere safe but I can't seem to remember where that safe place is... {insert bbm embarrassed face here } I found them! ♥

I am happy I finally went to send that package. The person that took it and did all the procedures was very friendly. I've been tracking it since yesterday. So excited!

I miss when my desktop was pink and cute. Need to try to remember (or research) how to do that again... ♥

All this candy somehow made its way into my room in Ramadan. Gifts from various relatives returning from their summer holidays. See that white and pink thing in the back? Upon seeing the wrapping, fruits and "yoghurt" on it, my family quickly assumed that I would be the only person that wouldn't mind having it. They assumed right! Once I had the first piece, I knew I wasn't sharing! lol. It was so yummy ♥ Reminded me of Ferrero Yogurettes, which were also chocolate and strawberry flavoured basically, that someone brought over from germany a few years ago, but even yummier. I would really like to have either of these right now...wonder if that ever-famed store in mall of arabia would have it...

9/23/09 04:31 pm - presence of mind

I recently picked up season 3 of heroes and I am dazzled, and not really in a good way. It seems like all characters have gone through a 180° turn it's not pretty! I feel like I wanna watch but at the same time it's just too much and I'm too scared of what's happening...scared as on "OMGTHEYDIDN'T" not scared as in "OMGSAVEME"

Once, we were out at festival city and passed by that booth that sells all those zip up bags and nail buffers. they have the pushiest sales people that will follow you to the end of the walk way just to make you try their products. she would ignore them completely and pass by like no one is talking to her. i, on the other hand, have a problem doing that. i find it very difficult to ignore people that are talking to me because i worry about hurting their feelings. sales people are only doing their job, no matter how pushy! our conversation went something like this:
her: why do you always give them the chance to drag you in?
me: i dunno...{sarcasm} i'm a nice person!
her: *shaking her head*
me: or...i'm very naive and stupid...
her: *smirks* at least you admit.

My nail spa sells the most awesome smelling products! i got a mini bottle of lotion for my purse and it smells like vanilla & wild plum. when i first tried it, i thought it was some kind of bubblegum...LOL but i carry it around in my purse and every time i use it, whoever is around starts asking what that is, such a refreshing scent! My other addiction is 'loccitane. some of their rose scentd products smelled good but weren't very smoothing...but when i looked in the other corner of their shop, i found rosebud shea better! Smoothing & rose scented, great combination, isn't it?



It's been a while since I've come home with a large orange box/bag. normally would feel guilty but i am very pleased with the contents of he box. a colour i've never owned before, in a size i've only dreamed of. there was an almost last winter but i decided against it. i can't wait for my peach/orange/pink one!

Dubai Mall is home to all store supersized, forever 21 is no exception. It's actually organized by style / line and there's one part of the store that houses the basics that are hard to find everywhere else. Then I went to the branch in Deira City Center and it was redesigned...i actually miss f21's old windows! But anyway. From Dubai Mall I got that white babydoll style top, a little floral vintage looking clutch/wallet & that shopping bag! I actually got a bunch more of those eco shopping bags since then because they're always useful to carry around.



What colour should I paint my nails today?
