the politician

dear diary ,
im sorry for the long no-post period, i typed a whole thing up that day and my safari browser decided to shut down for some odd reason.I was too annoyed to come back and type it up again.

are you involved in politics ?
i never was.until now,i have to be. because its a requirement,i had to take this political science class in which we discuss politics.Me,being the person i always was and always will be,i never get the courage to speak up my opinion..even if i know for a fact i can say something of importance to the discussion,i would never speak up.Just thinking of speaking makes my heart pound loudly. I wonder if that would ever change.Would i ever overcome the horror of speaking in public ? I sincerely hope i do.I have a problem of some sort,when i start speaking i fidget and get all nervous.
that being mentioned,i have always been bad with numbers,always.I'm now taking my first accounting class.Believe it or not,i slightly enjoy the class.Its not so bad and the math is not the type that i dont understand,it makes full sense to me.

today i need to go shopping for dresses, i've got lotsa weddings and engagement parties coming up.im currently aboard the frilly/flowy wave.later,A and i are going to the movies for Music and Lyrics.It should be a fun n light movie.
so long.

italian memoirs

dear diary,

i haven't been upto much lately,so i chose not to bore you with meaningless entries.
Today i remembered the blast i had during my summer holiday in italy.This will be my late but important to me entry.
i always heard italy was magical.I had a certain image of it in my mind, lots of bricky roads with beautiful shopping alleys and side cafes. I didnt expect it to be exactly what i had in mind;to my surprise,it was a lot better. Milan was enchanting..lots of beautiful restaurants, magnificent shopping, and delicious icecream.

Venice was the definition of magical.Have you ever been to a city without cars?not a single car. we arrived looking for a taxi to the hotel.Instead we got into a boat carrying our luggage and moved through the beautiful passages until we got to the hotel.For a small city like venice,i must say the shopping was amazing.Theres a boutique of almost anything that can come on one's mind.Theres a waterside market with lots of carnivale venezian masks and souvenirs. The gondola's driven by striped shirt singing men are a work of art.One of them showed me a building and claimed casanova actually lived there. Its one place i will never forget,and would love to visit once again.

Florence was our third destination.I personally enjoyed my time in Florence a lot more than Milan.Although they are both so beautiful,florence has a special charm to it. Its so beautiful and calm, with amazing italian shopping.There's also a cafe ill never forget,Gilli;the most delicious strawberry tarts i've ever had.I picked up the sweetest straw hat with a bow as a souvenir from firenze.
I think i can say my trip to italy was the best vacation i ever had.
Grazie italia.

so,back to the norm,the weather is really odd these days.Its cloudy during daytime,followed by constant lightning and rainy nights.Yesterday the sky was literally showering.Its funny,raining at this time of the year.Major global warming alert.

im into laura mercier's mineral SPF powder "composed completely of natural elements with 15 active amino acids to clear the skin of toxins, promote healthy skin cell growth and fight the aging process. Oil-free and water-resistent, Mineral Powder SPF 15 can be applied as a buildable foundation or a pigmented powder." that's my item to pick for tommorow.



au revior.

pointless blabber

dear journal,
i came back a few days ago,but was too busy to turn my pc on.
I had fun in dubai, spent some quality time with mum since it was only us most of the time. We literally did nothing but shop..which isnt a problem for me.If i had the choice, i would really travel around the world only to shop.However,i did abuse my feet very badly. I dont know why, whenever i say my shoes are comfortable, they start showing another side to them.The terrible truth is,there is not one single pair of fancy&comfy shoes in the whole wide world. I had to walk around carrying a box of latex free bandages for every scab i got on my poor feet. I even searched for comfy sandals,but they were too hideous to even consider.
so besides the shopping, on the last night we went to madinat jumeirah.Out of a lot of places in dubai, that is one place i really enjoy going to.I love the water side and all the traditional stuff.It's such a beautiful place.

a little bit of interesting info :
Our sense of smell is more complex than you might think. Your nose contain thousands of olfactory nerves.

While your tongue has the ability to taste sweet, sour, salt, and bitter, it is your sense of smell that creates all the delightful flavors you experience.

The olfactory bulb is part of your brain's limbic system, which is not under conscious control. The limbic system controls digestion, libido, and emotions.

So, it's not your imagination that scents evoke emotion. Aromas actually trigger the release of chemicals in the brain that create a feeling of well-being. Scientists say your body's response to an aroma takes just four seconds.

no wonder i am so infatuated with some aromas.Sometimes i worry i have an addiction to arabic incense.Sometimes i feel the urge to be surrounded with that smoke. I am also a fan of dehn al oud , and powdery scents.
My current fav. is penhaligon's cornubia, top note of neroli , middle of jasmine and base of musk & vanilla. Speaking of scents and aromas, the sweetest best friend just got me the greatest gift of all time; a traveller's mobile perfumery kit. thank u so much if ur reading this, luv u darlin. <3

wake up in rainy dubai

dear beloved journal,
i finished exams finally,and hopefully did well.I was then busy with a cousins engagement party which was really beautiful, since it was in one of my favorite restaurants,monsoon. Everything was arranged well, except a poor girl slipped into the water, which was most expected.-you must know what monsoon looks like to understand that-.
Anyway, so the next day i was scheduled to travel to dubai,and here i am today.
It's raining outside, the weather seems foggy and cloudy.
Now all i want to do is shop till i completely drop.That is the main reason i enjoy coming to dubai.
I also heard there's a krispy kreme somewhere around <3.
