Uwe

I know you all missed me terribly in my 4 days of absence .. (or what is it 5?) .. i've been horribly busy .. its disgusting how busy I've been .. here is a look at what my schedule was like since we last stalked each other:

Thursday: I left work at 5:30 KNOWING i was no where nearrrr done with my task list .. so I gathered my papers and my laptop and got in my car .. I headed to The One Cafe to meet a friend who was feeling really bad .. we chit chatted .. I had my green tea with mint and dashed to the airport to pick up my best girlfriend L .. after i picked her up we went to her house and hung out with her family .. ahh .. the days

Friday: Woke up early and started working on a gift for a 5 year old girl .. lets call her T (who my parents kept describing to me as though she was 30) .. I made her a '3tra from Haif's Closet (my brand) and i tell you .. it was gorgeous .. I didn't want to give it up .. after I made her '3tra and finished off the new season's '3tar, hoodies and sweaters .. i went to the mall to pick up a bracelet for T .. Baba specifically told me and mama to get her something "gold and expensive" .. so naturally me and mama wanted to give T bracelet made of paperclips .. laish inshAllah?? bntk o ana madriiii .. IM THE ONLY GIRL IN THIS FAMILY!! LoL .. so i went to Dior to see what bracelets they had and there were quite a few .. and then i walked into the shoe section and fell in love .. they were simple and black from the front .. and thennnnn .. the ENTIRE heel had crystals .. it was as though and went to heaven .. so of course I bought them .. and a pair of red square glasses I had wanted from London but stupidly bought the blue and beige ones .. as i went to pay i was on the phone .. so i handed the lady my credit card and she whispered to me (awanha tra3y 3ndi mokalama)

Dior Lady: "seven thousand eight hundred fifty seven"
Me: "Umm .. booKs .. I'll call you back .......... WHAT??"
Dior Lady: "the heels cost about 6,400 only"
Me: "Only?"
Dior Lady: (realizing she might be losing this game pulled out what she thought was her joker) "You know .. all the ladies come in and buy this because Haifa Wahby wore it once"
Me: "I'm no whore"
Dior Lady: "Akeed .. a9lan mabitistahal Haifa tlbasooon"
Me: "I still want them"
Dior Lady: "Ehhh .. la2anon kteeeeer 7lween brjlik"

So after I paid i realized that I didnt buy a gift for T .. so I walked back in and told the lady to give me little girl sunglasses .. she gave me the same ones that I had bought but minimized .. adorable!!

Then I went and bought a camera to take to L's place and snap shots of her modelling this season's stuff of Haif's Closet (which I will write about sometime later)

After that .. I rushed home and got into my raga9a costume (which was STUNNINGGG if I may say so myself) and went to my friend's house let's call her Tu .. after we walked around their compound we went back and had gorgeously barbequed meats .. no .. i didnt ruin my diet cuz Friday dinner is free for me :D .. then we went and gossip while we were laying down on their trampoline and by 9:30 I was in bed .. i know .. sad

Saturday: woke up early AGAIN .. went to Spinneys to buy superglue .. came home and finished the card I was making for T .. got ready .. picked up Mama and went to T's 5th birthday .. we had lunch there .. no .. I didn't ruin my diet again .. I get saturday breakfast and lunch free too .. ha ha .. and then I went shopping some more .. I came home .. uploaded all the pictures on Haif's Closet group .. finalized the event's (Speak 2009) proposal and passed the f out ..

Sunday: woke up and was at work by 8:40 (10 mins late) .. after work I went to look at the Emirates Palace ballroom .. almost had a coronary when they told me for 150 people .. its 60,000 for the room reservation .. 16,000 for refreshments .. xx,xxx for canapes .. xx,xxx for you to breath .. xx,xxx,xxx for you to leave .. I told her to draft me a quotation .. went home .. got in a fight with my parents .. had a nervous breakdown about the event .. cried cried cried .. went to sleep

Monday: woke up .. had a talk with my parents .. they assured me everything would work out fine .. went to work .. heard amazing news that will interfere with my prior plans of going to Landan to visit J (i'll explain J! so calm down!) got a list of 732 potential companies .. stayed at work until 10:30 PM .. went to L's .. got waxed .. put a ma6ara on my back cuz it was KILLING me .. was in bed by 11:15 ..

good morning people : )

Is it Really the Thought That Counts?

For those of you who don't know me .. I celebrate my birthday the entire month of October .. Itsblatantly rude of me to completely disregard any other occasion of this month .. but I don't care cuz I think that another full year of my existence is something for people to acknowledge or better yet appreciate the fact that I am in their lives .. Call me self conceited .. Call me 5agaga .. Call me Princess H .. I dont care .. its what i do and what i will keep doing ..

Since the blissful month of October is among us that means that it is my birth-month .. this brings me to discuss an issue i am sure we all face ..

gifts

There is a very small number of people who buy me gifts that i actually like .. why, might you ask? because i tell them what i want .. its just easier this way and i dont care if a gift is meant to be a surprise .. who made that rule up?? anywhooooos .. my point is why should i be forced to wear or admire a gift i dont like? because the person who bought it has no taste whatsoever? that my friends shouldnt be my problem ..

that is why i came up with my genius policy of "give me the gift and i'll open it when im alone" .. ana majamil .. if i dont like the gift .. it showssss .. my mouth says "Ohhhhh .. thank you!! I love it .. seriously! How did you know this is what I wanted? Tslmeen 7bibtiiii .. ta3abti roo7ch walla!!" BUT my face says .. "Ur joking right? This .. is .. HIDEOUS!!"

So yesterday i had to open a gift from a realllllly close friend of mine that is disabled when it comes to gift-giving .. it was jewelery .. that looked like it was made for a 12 year old girl .. i WISH i was a 12 year old girl .. but i'm not :( .. so don't buy me that! i had to open it in front of my friend and she was sooooo excited to see what i thought of it .. the minute i opened it i thought .. OH GOD NO!!! WHYYYYYYYY??? but proceeded to put it on and pretend to be shocked at how they nailed my taste down to the colour and style ..

moral of today's post: ask me what I want for my bday .. dont assume (because it will make an ASS out of U and ME) i'll like what you give me .. cuz 90% of the time .. i wont .. its cruel world baby .. get with the program
