Saturday Night Fever

Good morning new world!!

Today one of my best friends graduates from Zayed University. I'm so proud of her, she really is everything to me!

 


I see that a part of the graduation means "The End" and the other part means "A New Beginning". I am the kind of person who sees the glass as half full; the world is full of opportunities, you just ought to learn to grab on to them rather than telling yourself "Maybe there's something bigger for me out there."

Start somewhere and that will open up a whole new path for you.

Have a great day all :)

Attached

Today we got a puppy home for my elder sister to take to her house in Abu Dhabi (1.5 hours away from my house) but I'm already so attached to him because he was suppose to be mine. It's so hard to give away a pet you fell in love with to a family who has 4 kids around, I worry they won't take care of him well. I hope nothing happens to him while he's there. I know my sister can take care of him but I'm not sure about the kids.

Here's a pic 


Bubbles


After dropping him, I'm out for barbecue with a few friends to enjoy the weather as it lasts.




I hope you all have a great weekend.. Be safe!

Breakfast At Tiffany's

Thursday mornings I head to a friend's house on my way to uni for breakfast. Every week she serves different recipes of scrambled eggs accompanied with coffee and today we had a side dish of pudding. That is a very lovely way to start a day before going to classes or work for that matter.



Changing the way you wake up makes a difference to how the rest of your day will be. I always look forward to Thursdays. I should change the other 6 days of the week's mornings..

Ideas:
Set alarm to a radio station, have the nanny open the curtains, have a friend to be the alarm, an early movie.. What else?

If you have any suggestions, let me know..

Have a great weekend Dubai!

The Secret Passage

Yesterday a few friends and I watched a 3D animation Sammy's Adventures: The Secret Passage. It's about a sea turtle as he navigates his 50 year life through the changes caused by global warming. He travels around the world and while he's at it he searches for his lifetime mate: Shelly.



The movie made me want to make a difference to the sea world. Before you throw something in the ocean think of all the marine lives you would be ruining and poisoning.
Do not waste items such as plastic bags, cans, bottles, toxic liquids... Or anything else for that matter.
If you watch this animation you will know what I'm talking about.

Lost In Inspiration

I need a constant inspiration to keep me blogging. I love to write and this is a perfect place to do what I do.
If you can help me find something to inspire me everyday, please do.

Anyhow, I've been watching Cougar Town all day today. It's a must watch show, starring Courtney Cox. In it she's a 40+ year old single mother who lives with her teenager son. In the show, Courtney only dates younger men.
The reason why the show is named Cougar Town is because cougar is an animal from the lion/tiger family where the female enjoys mating with younger cougars.
So far there are only 2 seasons out, each episode is approximately 20 minutes, you can finish a whole season in 1 night. Tomorrow (January 12 2010) they will be airing s02e12.

If you do watch or will start watching let me know what you think..

As for now, I'm off to bed. Alarm set for 6:30AM.

Lucky

I'm lucky that I live in a beautiful and developed city like Dubai, the weather today made it extra beautiful!


Well, I live in Sharjah but I'm only here if I'm home to rest or sleep, otherwise I'm in Dubai ALL the time.
So I found a song that's perfect for this weather, I can imagine myself driving in this weather with my windows down and music up.

This is MY kind of music, I hope you like it
