What a Great Weekend !!!

2011-06-28T06:43:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I had the pleasure to check in at Westin Castle Harbourfront. I had a great weekend with Mr F. We had a lot to talk about. We had dinner at Spice Route on Friday. Located on King St West. Let me tell you, the food was great. We tried several different dishes including Tempura Calamari & Rock Shrimp, Crispy Duck Breast & Spiced Long Beans and Mandarin Sizzled Fried Rice. Lemongrass & Ginger Creme Brulee for dessert. All the dishes were great. Highly recommended.

I had a migraine on Saturday that came up on me so fast. I had to cancel my dinner reservation at CIAO wine bar and so he decided to have our dinner date in our hotel room instead. I was glad I didn’t go out. We ended up talking in the afternoon and enjoying our lovely dinner rest in the evening.

He surprised me with Chocolate Strawberry & Chocolate Truffles and a bottle of MOET. Thanks for the lovely gift !!!!

On Sunday we say GOOD BYE !!!

Happy Mother's Day !!!

2011-05-08T05:26:00.000-07:00

Growing up, I was blessed to be surrounded by three beautiful, stylish, talented, wise and incredibly resilient women: my grandmother, my aunt, and most importantly…my mother. These are my muses, the women who shaped the person I am today. Even though my grandmother and my mother is no longer with us, her teachings still linger within me, as her legacy continues. My mother’s sister, my cherished aunt, was my best friend & my confidante, always enveloping me in her boundless love and never too tired to play. My late mother…as I get older, the more I begin to understand her and feel our bond expanding. Her wisdom, her compassion, her tireless devotion to family – this is who I strive to be, and I could not have had a better role model. I love you mak & nenek…Al-Fatihah.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO MY MOM & TO ALL MOTHERS !

They say that in a relationship between two people...each person somehow balances the other person out...that is if the relationship is meant to work out...when there is no balance everything just crashes and breaks apart.

It is great to have friends that push you...to want to make you a better person.

2011-03-13T14:34:00.000-07:00

Life does not come with a manual. We all have to work with what we are given..make the best of it. Look for happiness, love, meaning in our lives. We are all in this journey together...through the bad and through the good. No dress rehearsal. Just live...raw...emotional...messy at times...amazing at others.

WOW !!! this REALLY hit me...

"Someone Like You" - Adele

2011-02-20T14:09:00.000-08:00

Did you see her sing at the Brits the other night? Absolutely fabulous. I watched it live and it was by far my favourite performance.
Going to listen to the video. Still love the song.

I love her. Can’t wait to see her perform live on her tour! Her new song “Someone Like You” absolutely KILLED me. It’s like getting punched in the soul. Who hasn’t had the thought of running into someone who broke your heart in the future and seeing they’ve moved on?

LOVE

2011-01-18T08:11:00.000-08:00

I hate the term "in love"... it makes no sense to me. Most people who think they're "in love" are really just infatuated with someone. IMO, it takes quite a bit of time to truly love someone.

Being attracted to someone can happen instantly. Liking someone can happen in a really short time. I've found that first impressions of a person are uncannily accurate in predicting whether you'll enjoy the company of another person.

But really loving someone takes a lot of time. It requires sharing a lot of experiences, joys and sorrows, pleasures and disappointments. It requires knowing the other person's strengths and weaknesses, his good qualities and his bad. It requires making sacrifices, big and small, for each other. Having disagreements and arguments and getting beyond them.

If you've been through all those things and still care deeply, you can truly say you love that person. The Hollywood, romance novel stuff about being "in love" just strike me as being fairy tale stuff- meaningless/ephemeral/delusional.

2011

2011-01-01T08:30:00.000-08:00

Happy new year everyone! I love the first day of a new year. There’s so much hope. It is like a fresh start...a blank canvass...time to make changes...and leave the past behind.I was not sad to see 2010 end. It had not been a great year. It had been a year of transition...self discovery...a work in progress....of healing.

After my devastating break up (real break down!) I learned that life does go on.... I decided to get to know me again...date me....focus on doing the things I’m passionate about...things that had been put on hold during my last relationship.

2011 is going to be different...even if I’m starting it off alone.I may be alone but I’m happier and healthier than I’ve been over the last few years. I feel a real sense of peace and in awe of my blessings. Sometimes you need time between relationships...time to find and learn to love yourself again.

There are no year resolutions..just new year actions. It’s all happening. Enjoy it cause this year will fly past like the last one.

All the best for 2011!

Bought myself two GORGEOUS t-shirt from A|X and 3 sets of A|X studs, which is on top of the 2 gorgeous shirt from Abercrombie & Fitch and one pair of shoes from Lacoste I bought in the past two weeks. I'm sure there's more, just can't think of it right now.

Sex or the relationship ....

2010-04-14T17:11:00.000-07:00

They say communication is one of the most important things in relationships although some people (specially many gay men) would argue that sex is more important.

So what is the key to good communication?

My friend Mel is having a dilemma, balancing sex and the development of a relationship. The ultimate egg versus chicken question... which comes first... sex or the relationship? For many of us , a relationship starts off with sex. We hook up ... go for a test drive then decide if we like the guy and which to proceed further... usually involving more sex. They say men are sexual creatures ... that is how they express feelings, show love ... through good old fashioned fucking.

Women on the other hand.. connection emotionally with a man before starting a relationship. If the feelings are not there ... there is no sex. But most men usually put out on the first date so it can complicate things. if the sex is good .. it raises the stakes. If the sex is bad, it can kill any prospect for a relationship. So much emphasis is put on sex in most gay relationships.

So what happens once you are in the relationship and there is no longer sex. Can you have or is it always one or the other? Can you have the relationship and the sex? Most of us want both. Sex is important to most people, especially to gay men.Most of us have been able to differentiate between sex and love. We can have sex without love and it seems many are having love without the sex.

I always assumed that sex was just an expression of love... therefore if there is love ... there will be sex. But many examples pf sex less relationships have nullified this theory. Sex is a barometer of relationship... no sex... there is probably something wrong... especially with two gay guys... maybe your partner is having sex but just not with you ... no attraction? Clearly there is an issue there ....

I'm Coming Out ...

2010-03-30T05:57:00.000-07:00

Yes, it may not have been the biggest surprise to anyone in the world that Ricky Martin is gay. This was the worst kept secret in Hollywood. I used to (still do) have the biggest crush on Ricky Martin.

Coming out rich is much easier than coming out poor. Coming out is not a destination but a journey.I am not totally out to all my family. My father still lives in the dark although he has stopped asking if I have a girlfriend. The rest of my family is cool with it .... actually I think they would be upset if I was straight. I'm the "gay uncle, son and brother". Coming out is much easier now than it used to... at least in Canada and Australia. But in some countries, it is still against the law to come out. Religion , fear and hate. It's a bit sad to think that our sexuality (who we can love) is 'decided' not by us but by outer forces or how others view us. Seriously, what it has to do with them ?!

Tim Hortons Roll-Up the Rim

The Roll-Up-the-Rim event is back on at Tim Horton's and I find myself amongst the millions of Canadians who warm up their thumbs in preparation. I rely upon the caffeine for my early morning boost. I only buy the small size cup, it provides just the right amount of kick to my mornings. But, during the event I splurge on the extra ten cents for a medium in slim hope that I will win something, anything !!! I only won a free coffee and a donut. The contest runs until May 30,2010 so i have lots of time to keep trying and so do you.

Love is no longer till death do us part ...

2010-03-24T16:17:00.000-07:00

Everything seems to have an expiration …people, lives, relationships…love and emotions. Sometimes that can be good…otherwise we would be heartbroken forever. That’s life…drama…messy..up and downs…it’s not a fairy tale. Love is a risk..involves all kind of trust. I don't wanna get into a relationship just because i'm lonely ~ but sadly, quite a bit of people marry for the wrong reason!!! The key to a long term relationship is to stop faking and start dealing with your own issues. I’m through fake relationships…I want the real thing or nothing at all.Life is definitely too short not to tell the person you are in love with them that you love them. And love is all around…even if you are single…love of family…friends and yourself. Relationships like everything in life have a life span…they end, begin again and the whole cycle repeats itself over and over again. Some are only temporary, some are for a few months or years and some are just for one night. But the long term relationship is with yourself, now that lasts a lifetime. Relationships , it is complicated.

A Single Man

2010-03-21T14:11:00.000-07:00

Wow! What an extraordinary film! Here's another vote for Colin Firth.If you're expecting action or the highs and lows of outward character development, go see something else; this will bore you. However, I thought this was very well done for what it was. It shows not only the devastation of losing a life partner but also how isolating that was for someone who's gay (and still happens all too often today) Have you ever lost someone who was utterly central in your life? Seconds tick by like hours - the movie, mirroring this, seems to drag. I liked the film's use of 1950s washed out monochrome and then colour to convey the main character's level of connection to the world. Curiously, I often found myself the only person laughing in many parts. Perhaps others were a bit horrified by the emotional devastation of the story and it seemed insensitive to laugh. Maybe you had to have experienced something like that to see how funny some parts were, especially contrasted to the poignancy of the situation. It's a rare movie that doesn't move me to tears at some point, but for the most part, this one didn't for some reason. I'm not sure if that was something about me or the movie. Definitely worth seeing if you won't be bored by a lack of action, sex and highs and lows. Who knows what the author intended but Ford has produced a thoughtful movie from the original story and, hopefully, there are many more Ford productions to come.

Ramadan in Toronto ...

The Holy month of Ramadan has arrived, a month observed with great holiness and abstinence from wordly pleasures… This is my 2nd year in Toronto during the month of Ramadan.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is a special month for over two billion Muslims throughout the world. It is of a special meaning to Muslims as it is the Fourth Pillar of The Muslim Faith.”

Just wanna wish Ramadan Kareem to all Muslims throughout the world..Alhamdulillah, we have given the opportunity by God to meet again in this most blessed month-Ramadan Al-Mubarak. As Muslims we should take this advantage because such a month does not come frequently and we do not know if we still have a chance to meet the next Ramadan.

You're Hired!

2009-08-17T14:07:00.000-07:00

After waiting for two weeks, I got a call from the guy who interviewed me. He said I had interviewed well and they wanted to offer me the position. I tried to stay calm on the outside but I was freaking out on the inside. I actually was not expecting to get the position. But earlier in the day I had received a call from one of my referees who had given me a glowing reference.

Now came the hard part, negotiating both my salary and a start date. That was actually easy enough, I pretty much got my way on both. I start in a week. I’m excited but anxious. I actually do not like starting new jobs, a bit like starting new relationships. You have to prove yourself from the start. You have to impress everyone and you have six months of probation.

I figured they would not have given me the job if they did not think I could not do it. Besides, I had never gotten fired from a job before. I’m willing to put in the effort and work hard. The bad news is that I probably will not have so much time to blog. My current job allows me lots of free time.

I watched this movie last Friday . The movie reveals a lot of problems of the American culture and also religious and relationship issues. Bruno's character is just a way to take a quick look on some of them. I am a bit disappointed that people and critics remembered penises and vaginas, but actually didnt appreciate the topics the authors choose to open for the public. There are a lot of things that can seem outrageous but on the whole this the movie worths seeing.Brilliant, controversial, and funny as hell. Free speech at its finest.

Hello ... Phone Interview !!!

2009-06-03T14:52:00.000-07:00

Phone interviews are becoming more prevalent. Especially in today’s economic recession, employers are cutting cost by relying on phone interviews to do two things: 1. Identify and recruit candidates for employment, and 2. Screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants to invite for in-person interviews.

From my experience phone interviews are tough in some respects and easier in others.

I recently engaged in a challenging phone interview with a potential employer. So my phone interview is today! Worried about it a little. I read up on phone interviews, which are just a preliminary interview for the face to face. More then likely if I get past this interview then I will get past the face to face and get the job. But you know it’s just kind of mind boggling knowing that this is not the only one. I guess I assumed that but was hoping for a closer result. Either way it’s an interview.

So lets see what happens next...

Good luck to me and anyone else who has an interview!!!

2009-05-24T18:15:00.000-07:00

I’ve been kind of half assing it in the garden lately. I woke up bright and early this morning and it was sunny. I took this as a sign it was time to plant some flowers.

First stop – (http://www.terragreenhouse.com/) in Vaughn. I LOVE THIS PLACE. I get my flowers here every year.

My goal for today was to get the flowers planted. Boy it was hot out there today. It took me about 4 hours total to get it all done. I met a few new people – seems like the garden club is expanding!

End of the day:

My Masterpiece ...

2009-05-23T10:13:00.000-07:00

Polka Dot Black Sushi Plate

Spring Flower Round Plate

Bird Coffee Mug

Pottery is a contemplative “sport,” and you end up musing a lot while you’re working. I find nothing more therapeutic these days than painting pottery at one of those paint it yourself places. Granted it does get costly. I have spent $35 on a platter, $25 on a sushi plate, $25 on my round plate, $23 on a bowl and $18 on a coffee mug. I use them all and I love them.. I paint them free hand without stencils or tracing, it takes longer but that is part of the processs for me. I find this 100 times more effective than therapy and useful as a meditation tool. Here are a few of my pieces so far: a Spring Bird Serving Platter (yet to complete), a Polka Dot Black Sushi Plate, a Globe with Kids Cereal Bowl, a Spring Flower Round Plate and a Bird Coffee Mug.

Victoria Day 2009 Long Weekend Overview

2009-05-18T19:35:00.000-07:00

Victoria Day is a public holiday observed across Canada on the Monday before May 25th.In 2009, Victoria day falls on Monday, May 18. This is the earliest that the Victoria weekend falls.Victoria Day celebrates Queen Victoria's birthday (May 24th). Canada is still a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, of which the Queen is head. Victoria Day is always on a Monday, and thus the holiday is part of a long weekend, which is commonly referred to as the Victoria Day Weekend or, in Ontario, as the May Two-Four (a case of beer there is called a "two-four"). The weekend is also called the May 24th weekend, although it does not necessarily fall on May 24th.The Victoria Day Weekend is the first popular weekend for spring / summer travel. Lots of people open up their cottages, plant gardens, or just get away.Fireworks displays are common, especially on Monday night.

When is Victoria Day?

2009: Monday, May 18, 2009

2010: Monday, May 24, 2010

This was one of the most exciting, edge of your seat, action packed, awesome special effects, movie I have seen in a very long time.

Car Shopping

2009-05-03T09:03:00.000-07:00

DMG currently own a Cadillac STS. But he need something that will keep his costs low.We’ve been doing some shopping, and we keep getting signs everywhere. It’s like the great spirit up there is telling us to get this or get that. Here’s what we have our eyes on…

I’ve been a MINI fan my whole life and DMG a HONDA freak. Stopping at a Honda dealer to look at an The 2009 Accord Coupe that caught DMG eye…

Isn’t he handsome?

One look was all it took, and DMG was hooked. I knew what DMG wanted next time around.

Me? I’m definitely keeping my eyes open at the Mini Brand. Isn't he handsome too ???

Oh yeah, I’m also interested in a Mazda 8

Aha…decisions, decisions, decisions. The sooner, the better!

There’s More To Golf Than You Think

2009-04-12T06:15:00.000-07:00

Do you like golf? I know I do, but not for the reasons most people think. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy driving the ball from the tee and seeing it sail 300 yards down the center of the fairway.But that isn’t why I play golf.

I play for the stress relief! Have you ever heard the phrase, “A bad day on the golf course is better than a good day at work?”

That statement is more true than most of us realize. If you play golf for relaxation and meditation, you will be less stressed. There is nothing like a relaxing day playing golf and enjoying some “me” time. You should try it as soon as spring rolls around. You never know, you may just get hooked!

Long Easter weekends ...

2009-04-10T08:19:00.000-07:00

I love long weekends….really, really love them. It feels like all of the pressure is off when you don’t have to fit everything into just 2 days - laundry, shopping, catching up on sleep, gym, spending time with your partner, cleaning. You know, all the things that don’t get done during the busy week.

Slept until after 9 this morning and then cleaned the house.The laundry is mostly done…and there are still 2 days to go until the weekend is over.

I think it’s shaping up to be a great weekend….what are you doing with it?

Oh BOY, I’m Sick Again...

2009-04-04T10:16:00.000-07:00

So, I’m sitting here on the sofa and feeling thoroughly sick and tired of the skin allergy infection that has plagued me for the last week. I’ve been on antibiotics since Saturday and it would be nice to see some real improvement soon.I’ve never had anything like this before. To top it all off, that blasted rash has flared back up again

It started earlier this week when my allergy started acting up. So I really don’t know what it is. Allergy? Most definitely.

Maybe I should go to a doctor again instead of sitting here diagnosing myself. Hope I will feel better soon. I really hate this sick feeling…. >_<

Needing a release...

2009-03-25T10:20:00.000-07:00

I feel like I am spinning wheels in the mud, with a great deal of anger.
I seem to be stuck and no matter how hard I try, I don’t seem to get anywhere, all I’m feeling is pure disturbance.
Yea …..yea…no body has it easy but I feel like giving up.
Damn…quitting is not even an option.

I woke up this morning feeling a surge of energy driven by frustration. And, thus, I turn to this blog in hopes that any release may occur, something to make me feel better.

I feel stuck.
I feel trapped by own self.
Lost dreams.
Lost faith.
Lost hope.
I don’t know what to believe in anymore.

Spring into action ...

2009-03-20T08:07:00.000-07:00

When I think about spring, I get excited about simple things; Longer days, brighter skies, rising temperatures, new life breaking through the ground, the sweet smell of fresh air breezing in through open window and finally putting away that heavy winter coat for another year. There's something so symbolic and optimistic about this gesture. It's about shedding layers, starting fresh and feeling energized to move ahead ...

Happy first day of spring! I found a robin, lots of red-winged blackbirds staking out their territory, and a chickadee singing his springtime song.

We’re expecting rain and warm temperatures, so I think things will look quite different here in a few days' time.

I hope you find it as energizing as I do !!!

Shop 'till you drop ...

2009-02-28T14:56:00.000-08:00

The remaining days of February are filled with some fabulous shopping opportunities to build that perfect spring wardrobe...Shop ’til you drop starting this weekend.

So, the word on the street is that Gucci is going to be the name on everyone’s lips this year. I have my trusted sources telling me that the Gucci range this year is going to be streets ahead of other names, and it is definitely the designer brand to be buying.
From the clothes to the bags, Gucci is going to be everywhere in 2009. The celebrities will be dripping in the finest couture and making us mere mortals positively drool at the sight of the Gucci branding. My suggestion is to start saving now; maybe treat yourself to one of those gorgeous bags or a purse to replace the one that is looking just that little bit tired - the choice is yours, but the designer name is a given.
The best thing about Gucci is that it is perfect for so many different age groups - from the discerning lady to the young gent, Gucci is classic elegance that reflects timeless designs and quirky styling.
If you’ve always fancied indulging in a piece of couture, then why wait ????Check out the new Spring / Summer 09 collection online at Gucci now.

Surviving this weather is hard ...

2009-02-27T16:09:00.000-08:00

I am not sure where I stand on my opinion of favorable weather conditions. I hate the hot, and I hate the cold. But I would swear that I love the cold when overheating, and I would swear that I care for a sweat when I’m frozen. Where is the even keeled climate of my dreams? I am sure that it does exist somewhere. Oh, one moment, must…get…a…coat on.

This morning, I woke up late, brushed my teeth and got dressed. The streetcar was late, or I had just missed the one before and now my coffee is cold. My closed captioning office is freezing and my excel sheet is littered with inaccurate airdates. The hat on my head is too tight and my jeans are loose and droopy. I’m not cool. I’m left out. I’m really fucking bored. This is what the last week of February feels like in Canada. Nothing feels good and everyone is annoyed. The cold has frozen our ability to be kind and we’re just fed up with this fucking cold! CP24 says it’s -14 but the Weather Network (which of course I reead on my IPhone) tells me it’s 66% humidity…it’s cold. Really cold.

2009-02-21T08:42:00.000-08:00

Sunday night, February 22nd, the 81st Annual Academy Awards. It’s Oscar Night!!

I am proud to be a movie buff and very proud that Hollywood, Bollywood and all points in between still take pride in the craft that is filmmaking. I was lucky enough to see all five Oscar nominated films and then some over the past year. I did not see every nominated film, but most critics did not either.

Here are my 2009 Oscar Predictions, these are just my picks, do not go bananas if you disagree, but I’d love to hear your opinions.

Best Picture : Slumdog Millionaire & Academy Pick : Slumdog Millionaire

Best Actor : Sean Penn , Milk & Academy Pick : Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler

Best Actress : Kate Winslet, The Reader & Academy Pick : Kate Winslet, The Reader

Best Supporting Actor : Heath Ledger , The Dark Knight & Academy Pick : Heath Ledger , The Dark Knight

Best Supporting Actress : Viola Davis, Doubt & Academy Pick : Viola Davis, Doubt

Well, there you have it, my 2009 Oscar Picks. What a great year for movies. Oh, one more pick, I think Hugh Jackman will do a very fine job.

Your OSCAR host ...

MILK ...

2009-02-18T13:40:00.000-08:00

Simply loved it. Beautifully told, along with great acting. Really makes you feel like you are in the 70's and shows you the horrible struggle homosexuals go through. Sean Penn couldn't have played Harvey Milk anymore perfeclty. Penn needs to win the Oscar and this should be a serious contender for movie of the year and an important piece of history that we can all learn something from. Thank you for making such an excellent film available ...

It’s Official: I’m Official!

2009-02-10T14:32:00.000-08:00

So the day we’ve been waiting 14 months for finally arrived: as of today, February 10, 2009… I am an official Permanent Resident of Canada! Today was the actual day I went in to the Canada Immigration office to be granted the official status.

I know there was no reason to be nervous, but my stomach was doing flip flops all morning. I kept worrying that I would forget some important piece of ID, or the photos I had to have done wouldn’t be perfectly to spec… I was just worrying that SOMETHING silly would go wrong and they’d reject me. It all went off without a hitch, of course, there was just a lot of waiting.

We drove down to Canada Immigration Office and we walked to the government building where we waited for about an hour for my name to be called. We spent more time waiting than the actual “interview” took - I basically went into this tiny room to sign papers and that was it. The woman asked me a couple of simple questions, but they were all things that were listed on the document in front of me anyway, lol. I signed everything and she gave me my copy of the paperwork; this piece of paper I will guard with my life, as it is not only a temporary placeholder for the actual Permanent Resident card that I will receive in the mail in a few weeks, but also something I will need to keep for future dealings with the immigration office. I am legally a permanent resident now.

So ya, it’s been an exciting day! We going to a restaurant called Kelsey tonite to celebrate ...

Anyway, I’ll probably end up making some of my recipes that I’ve posted. Like Southern Fried Chicken, my signature dish "Daging Masak Itam" & etc .

Are You a Control Freak?

2009-01-14T07:27:00.000-08:00

DMG & I have to deal with a control freaks on a daily basis. His father and my father-in-law.

Control freaks are the most irritating form of life I have come across. If you have a family member who is like this or are unfortunate enough to have married one it is very difficult to turn your back on them which is what they deserve. They have no conscience since everything they do is a consequence of your actions. Every simple request is a battle of wills. They feed of negative energy and are the eternal victims. Walk away from them permanently if possible.

I think it sounds terrible to say that one should just walk away from a "control freak" - surely, one has to keep some distance, but that's a subtle thing, and depends also on how close you want to be that person yourself. Control freaks are people, too, with their good and bad sides. And they need lots of love, especially because they are having such a hard time.

Control freaks can be very kind people in a way, too. A good cause can go wrong when the nurturing or instruction becomes too intrusive. Sometimes it's pleasant to be cared after, and then it's not.

I am writing this as I've read a great deal about control freaks as people or how they behave in personal relationships so if someone else reads this who has a 'control freak' father or father in-law they know they're not the only ones! Thanks for reading!

T for Tag ...

2009-01-04T08:45:00.000-08:00

A word tag is moving around in the blogosphere.So I have decided to incorporate this tag with a round up of the important events of my life and the lessons I have learned in past few years.

B for Blog :- I began blogging actively in April and boy, was I glad to discover this wonderful world!! I discovered a new talent inside me, made some very good friends and received a lot of feedback for blogging this year. People actually like what I write!! Wow!!! Yooo hooo!!! Lesson learned - Its never too late to discover something wonderful inside you. If you have it, people will appreciate it.

B for Boring :- I am not ashamed to admit I can be the most boring person at a party. Sometimes I’m just not feeling it and I often find myself where i don’t belong.

C for Coffee :- I love coffee.. but not to the point of addiction

C for Cooking :- I am in cooking mode lately. Everyone who knew me in University knows that all I can whip up are cup noodles and hot water, but not anymore! I’ve been learning how to cook and so far the results are not half bad. They tell me it’s good, either it’s really good or they are good liars LOL. I think I can survive now even when I end up stuck in the middle of nowhere. So maybe I cannot fight wild gorillas but at least I can feed myself while they haven’t come yet right?

F for Friends :- I consider my friends the most important people in my life.. after my family of course.

L for Loyal :- I’m a VERY loyal person.. & I tend to expect at least the same.I detest un-loyal people.. and I loose my respect for them & never trust them ever.

L for Love :- I’ve only truly fallen in love once in my lifetime.

L for Late :- I cannot handle being late to any sort of event. I will be in a state of serious mental anxiety until I have safely arrived at my destination in good time. Just ask "DMG". It happens every day on the way to work.:-)

M for Music :- I heart music, and I’m so picky about the music I listen, although I can listen to any genre.

M for Movies :- 2008 has been a year of some wonderful movies. My pick for the best movie of 2008 will be Slumdog Millionaire. Its just too awesome!! The biggest disappointment was the postponement of Harry Potter and Half Blood Prince. Lesson learned - When in tension or depression of any sort, watch movie. Works every time.

M for Multitasking :- This year I have juggled so many tasks at once that I am assured of the fact that I really am a Scorpio. 2008 has been a very busy year. Lesson learned - Get a pocket memo…mental notes can lead to data loss if one day your brain decides a time out. Its ok to be busy but always unwind once a month by taking a day off.

Q for Quest :- In 2008, the eternal quest for peace of mind finally began to see a light on the horizon. After few years of emotional stress I feel my mind is at peace now. Peace that comes out of trust. Lesson learned - Trust is the most important thing. God does listen to prayers.

Q for Question :- 2008 has been full of both questions - personal, professional, academic and answers too which I have sought out myself; except the academic ones which were found in books Lesson learned - Wrong decisions are the ones that are easy to make. The right ones are usually hard. The right answers are always there in our subconscious minds..sometimes we just choose to ignore them.

Q for Quit :- I quit the tag now. Lesson learned - When tagged, do it asap so that others can’t tag you. Even if they do, tell them you have already done the tag.

T for Tag :- She’s a sweet, shopaholic gal, that I call a friend who tagged me !!!

W for Weight :- I always complain about my weight. This is purely the idea of My Man. He says I am obsessed with my weight. I am so not! But he says I am. It’s just that over the holidays I gained 10 lbs. I am so looking forward to loosing weight. Ugh.

As for tagging, I tag nobody, but anyone who would like to do it (in its altered state of course!) is more than welcome to!

Goodbye 08 ...

2008-12-31T05:29:00.000-08:00

Today is December 31, 2008, and it's time for me to reflect my ups and downs of this year. First I need to thank God that nothing bad had happened to myself, my uncle passed away in Mecca sad news for the family, and my friends, everyone beside me were happy and healthy, which I was truly glad!

It's hard to believe another twelve months had passed already, and here we were, back at the post for my memoirs of 2008.

So as I look back on 2008, I am glad to be letting go …to be ending another year. It was a year full of good and bad things…but in the end it was a very positive year. I am looking forward to 2009…a fresh start…a new beginning.Happy 2009!

Wow what a year 2008 was! I wish you the best for 2009!!!!

TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU : HAVE A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!

I’m sure Rosie was in the best of hands because Papa Bear is such a wonderful Hubby! I hope she feels better as soon as possible. Hopefully today she is already back to her adorable self. As you rest and heal, know that you are thought of warmly and wished a quick recovery.

Weekend @ the movies

2008-12-29T11:47:00.000-08:00

DMG & I saw two movies recently, Slumdog Millionaire and Doubt.

Slumdog is a story about a young man, Jamal, who is on the brink of winning the Indian version of “Who wants to be a Millionaire.” Through a series of interrogations (and torture) by the police who believe he cheated, the story unfolds in flashbacks. One slice of his life for each question he answered on that show.

This is an English language film set in Mumbai and directed by Danny Boyle, the same guy who did Trainspotting. I love this guy’s work, particularly the camera angles and the breakneck pacing of the story which moves, moves, moves.

There were some moments in this film when I was on the verge of tears, but his movie doesn’t really ask for audience pity. Yeah these kids are street orphans, but they are survivors and seeing them win every battle is what really makes you cry. Go see that if you get a chance, it is my favorite movie of 2008.

Doubt - There was something about this movie that was missing. The performances were good, the storyline was good, but I felt like it didn't grip me. I didn't care. I didn't really care if the priest had done it, I didn't care about the kid that may have been abused and I didn't really care about the nun who suspected him. Although a good movie on the surface, I wasn't at all engaged and it therefore left me wanting something more and not getting it.

The one where I miss my friends like a sad sap.

2008-12-26T09:13:00.000-08:00

Perhaps its because its the holidays, or perhaps because this is the first time in months where I had no obligation besides work therefore leaving me copious amounts of time to sit around and dare I say, think, but yesterday I was hit with an overwhelming sadness of missing my friends. I have very few people in this world who I consider to be true, lifelong friends ( to think that 60 people will be trusted, gracious friends forever is just kind of foolish I think). So to those very few who I love dearly but are all spread out across states, and even continents away right now I’d just like to say, I miss you, deeply.

This is the second time in years that we won’t see each other for the holidays. I realized the other day that this is the time where we don’t have some sort of point where we’ll all be in the same place at the same time. No holidays, no road trips, no weddings. For the first time ever I honestly have no idea when I’ll get to see my friends again, and its killing me.

Hope you guys had a very merry christmas and that you get a happy new year! I was kinda sick during X'mas so I couldnt really enjoy all the good food... not sure if I've the energy to do my shopping today on Boxing Day !!! I need to get myself a new digital camera !!!

So to my friends, even though we’re all separated by states and time zones and oceans this year, I want to tell you that I love you all so much, and I hope that you all have the best possible holidays. I hope we can all get together sometime next year, but until then, Merry Christmas. I love you guys.
