birthday wishes

last week was my birthday. i'm a year older now , hopefully wiser. I was never a big birthday party person, surprisingly it doesn't even upset me when people forget my birthday, unless ofcourse its someone very dear to me. However, its always nice to be surprised by the best forms of b-day wishes when the clock strikes 12. Thank you xx. ♥ & a special thanx to my dearest cousins for the marie antoinette inspired pralines 'n creme cake, kept me high on sugar all nite. :*
i've been quite busy balancing my classes,midterms,and riding sessions.i can say i'm now officially obsessed with riding. I wait for the days my classes are scheduled, and when im there i just don't want to leave. When im home im reading tips and watching videos, or shopping for riding gear.
I've also been practicing my long forgotten photoshop skils, on a beaaautiful picture + loving the strawberry red polish i've chosen to paint me toes with!






my current favorite show, brothers & sisters. - excluding the american dream cheesiness -

finally, a flashback memory of the things that brought tremendous happiness to me many years ago, and still does :

visit to Banyan Tree

Last night i was invited to the opening of a new store in A'ali mall,Plumberry. The store has a very chic layout with designers all the way from the states.Housing brands like velvet,Twelvth street by Cynthia vincentand lots more the store has a unique collection of clothing.
Later, i got home and got changed for my highly anticipated reservation at the Tamarind of Banyan Tree. The place is just so dreamily beautiful,, aside from the fact that its so quite and calm, the architecture and interior is so beautiful, it makes any other hotel i've ever visited tacky. The drive there took almost an hour which is quite a lot for beloved bahrain, where the longest trip around would cover at most 20 mins- nothing to be ashamed of in my opinion as it makes life a lot easier.<3
So after we had our dinner, we were taken on a tour through the private villas where i was struck by the beauty of the place i just wanted to stay there foreverr. I would sooo love to live in a place that looks like that, where inspiration comes by just looking around. I suggest a tour around for anyone who can make it there. A real retreat.&)

outfit picked in advance, SO unlike me.

thursday night

monday ; visited Maya chocolate bar for the second time for a divine candle heated chocolate fondue with marshies and cake to dip and indulge.

tuesday ; riding with Handsome for the first time.With a beautiful covered in white complexion, he defines the word Handsome. I had a hard time coping with his playful mood,he refused to trot and stopped whenever he wanted to. Still, hes my favorite. I hoped my instructor would make him my permanent ride.

wednesday ; shopping for jodhpurs.After an hour of looking around i finally set for a
sarm hippique sand color one.I found it easiest to move around in,also suited mon helmet.
today; riding again with the tres handsome,handsome.He was a lot better today and seemed to listen to what i asked him to do.,i have to keep reminding myself to look ahead though, as i keep looking down at his irresistable beauty and he ends up finding his way on his own. The weather was reallly delightful today as wel, the breeze was so soothing~ a beautiful day for riding.
