Shut Down

I have been sick almost this whole week, first 2 days with the flu then a hectic chest infection and then an eye infection! My body is really shutting down now! Guess its that time of the year.

At least today is my last day for the festive season break but then I am back at work on the 2nd January 2007.

Went to watch the Holiday last night, what a great movie! I cried for almost everything. I love soppy romantic movies and I must say that Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Cameron Diaz were just great! I loved the english accents and the english always make really great movies, I mean look at Bridget Jones (my personal hero) and Nottinghill (and most Hugh Grant movies).

Jude Law also looked very handsome (other than the receding hairline)










To all my friends who celebrate Christmas, Happy Christmas and to all my friends who will be celebrating Eid, Eid Mubarak!!!

See everyone in 2007! HAPPY NEW YEAR....inshallah

Arabian Eyes

I have been obsessing for a while now on this forum I chat on about how do arab girls get their stunning eye make up right. Well spoke to some lovely ladies from Dubai and Oman and here are some of their secrets :

Some pics of what I mean











Tips:
To outline the eyes, use black eye shadow first with and edge brush and then apply liquid liner over that.

Use a light eyeshadow on the lid and then use a darker eyeshadow on the outer corner of the eye and smudge it toward the inside of the eye.. make sure u don't smudge it on the whole lid.. just the outside toward half of the upper lid.

After that ...apply black eyeliner on the upper lid and a black eyeshadow on the lower liddon't forget the dark black khol.. bring a lighter and burn it a little bit.. just a sec don't over burn it!!! then apply that.. u can apply it before the eyeshadow to make sure the khol doesn't smudge! Try using hypnos lancome mascara excessivly on the lashes! DIVINE!!that's an easy way to apply eyeshadowor you can check on mac's website and find the looks section.. they have really good tips!

Can't wait to try it!!! Will post some pics of my attempt

World Wind

This morning my current flat mate announced that she was expecting a baby. I was so shocked! Who would have thought she would be expecting. Its amazing how things change in no time. So she is planning a shot gun wedding and moving away at the end of January which is going to leave me without someone to cover the half of the rent!

Today all these thoughts are going through my mind about who do I get, when do I advertise etc. Especially when I am planning of getting married and moving by no later than the end of February 07. And then my sister would need to get a flatmate to share with and loads of other things to think about.

Including that the organisation I work for might be closing in June 07 which means I need to get a new job, which is exciting but just I was happy where I am at the moment. In my comfort zone.

Some inspirational words:

One common mistake is to think that one reality is THE reality. You must always be prepared to leave one reality for a greater one.

The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

We cannot control the wind, but we have the power to adjust the sails.

It is important to remember that you do not have to agree with something to accept it. You can disagree with the situation and still accept that that's the way it is.

Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons.

Meet the parents

So I met the parents last week Thursday for supper and it was great!

It was so casual and relaxed and they were great and it was a very lovely evening.

Did not know that Caps had such great parents! I thought that it would be all formal and stuff.

Went to a wedding on Saturday night, very beautiful and then went back to spend the rest of the evening with the parents. Ended up playing scrabble and cards with them and the rest of the family and only going home at 4pm.

Then went to a bbq at their place and spent the afternoon chatting and watching tv.

Wow, can't beleive that I met them and that we get along! So now on to the bigger stuff soon!

THANKS SO MUCH TO NAZ & HUSBAND FOR ARRANGING EVERYTHING! I OWE YOU GUYS BIG TIME!!!
