Its crap - do not bother

The food kan feeh zafara '3air 6abee3iya - even the vegetable dishes

La oo ba3ad fog hatha kileh - we were 6 girls that ordered 4 mains to share and we didn't touch anything. Oo we paid 50 rials for the meal.

What I Look Like - in 10

1. Im tall - 5 foot 5 inches - not considered tall for most but tall for Omani standards
2. Im big and bootyful - LOL - Im confident about the way I look - who doesnt like the way I look can bang their head on the wall. I gym in order to maintain and move.
3. I have naturally very curly hair - I used to always dry it straight in the winter but its summer now and Im curling it always
4. My hair has usually never gone shorter than shoulder length until about last October when I decided to do the Victoria Beckham cut - the short at the back and longer at the front. It was quite gutsy of me since Im the kind of person that always plays it safe. Everyne said it looked great on me but I wouldnt do it again cos its SOOO high maintenance
5. Im naturally tanned - Actually I lie - When I lived in the UK and was not exposed to sun for 4 years almost I went back to my original colour which is a yucky pale yellowish 7in6awy - but im ALWAYS in the sun and therefore always tanned to a certain extent
6. People always tell me that my most prominant feature is my eyes - they are big and doe-like - plus I tanna7 easily so it always looks like Im putting on a puppy face
7. I will never be caught dead in a dress - unless Im attending a wedding. Im trying to break out of that habit and have bought a few casual dresses. All but one still hang in my closet still with the tags on.
8. I LOOVE to dance
9. My favourite food is sushi
10. Im like a baby - it takes me forever to get into the water but once Im inside you can never get me out. I still had tan lines of one summer holiday upto 4 years later. LOOOL

A Confused Post

Well hello there everyone - is it just my blog that has gone suddenly dead wila is it everywhere?? Cos i see people commenting everywhere lakin ma7ad ga3 yzoorny?? laish?? Z3alt tara. LOOOL

Anyways wayid ashya 9arat

First things first - saweet taqleed lal habba ily 6al3at inspired by In My Closet lakin ma7ad 3abarny - ya3ny i think only 3 people tried guessing what I looked like.

My Dubai trip was AMAZING as usual - I met up with Jooja (my bestie) and we had an amazing weekend. Saweena the typically touristy things ri7na ilaquarium mal Atlantis oo we checked out the Address and Souq il Ba7ar oo the dancing fountain oo Dubai Mall oo chee. We had a great time. I was planning on extending but unfortunately - very a la Dubai - I had to have some kind of medical emergency on my last day there. This time is was my tooth. Counting from the back the first and 3rd teeth are the ones I had the root canals on a while ago. So the tooth in the middle (number 2) apparently according to the dentist was distressed and the 3irj died. Thus causing an infection UNDER the tooth and causing my face to blow up like in the cartoons.

Last Sunday everything was sorted immediately and I was given some very strong anti-biotics that resulted in a 5 day sick leave for me. Man those meds were strong. I was warned by the doctor about them but I didnt think it would be that bad. They knocked me out. I was sleeping on average 16 hours a day. I have not been to the gym since I got back from Dubai. The one day I attempted to go to work which was Tuesday I sauntered in at 11 am cos I just couldnt wake up. I was home by 415 and fi sabi3 nouma by 430. Thank god today is the last day for the meds and I go back to normal. The swelling is almost completely gone - my cheek is back to normal but I have a tiny bump on my jaw from the inside. It doesnt show and it doesnt hurt anymore.

Im already planning my next Dubai trip but I have informed all involved that this time it will be purely a beachy weekend. I wanna swim swim swim and swim the whole weekend. No malls - nothing indoors - no closed up spaces. I just want the beach.

Summer is here with a bang
