And Life Moves On

Awalan I would like to say Kil 3am wintu ib alf 9i7a oo salamah oo mbariken 3eedkum. Hope you all enjoyed the holidays. I must say that I did in fact enjoy my holiday very much.

Thursday was last working day and Friday morning I was all packed and already hitting the road to Dubai. I spent the entire holiday there (9 days). On average I was sleeping around 12 hours a day and spending the majority of my waking hours snuggling on the couch with a blanket and a cup of coffee watching whatever movie was currently playing on TV. By late evening, I would finally get bored and motivated enough by the harrassement of phone calls from friends asking me what the hell I was doing home all day when Im on holiday, I MIGHT by then consider doing something social. It usually consisted of either going out for sheesha or having friends over for a game of cards.

On an occasion when I had about 5 friends over, as usual the subject of my singledom was brought up. Apparently they all mutually know of 2 or 3 people that are interested in me but have reported back saying something either like "Shes very cold" or the most common "She isnt interested at all". So I gave in and agreed to go on a blind date with a friend's friend who was apparently perfect for me. He just proved how perfect he was when he propositioned me within 15 minutes of meeting. Needless to say I went straight home and dove into my position for the week.

I have never considered myself a pessimist nor the kind of person who looks at life negatively. But I am beginning to be this person. I guess life teaches you to be callous the hard way. In the past 2 years, I have only met one guy that I was remotely interested or attracted to. And he dissappointed me greatly. I guess Im just not physically nor emotionally prepared to go through the process of getting to know someone new.

I am now a strong beleiver in arranged marriages. From what Im seeing arund me, they are the only marriages that are truly working.
