to: my blog

dear blog, i'm sorry for being such an awful owner. Ive seriously had no extra time to do anything lately. Things will get better between us once im done with this semester, c'est promise!
I have been super-loaded with assignments and a very fulltime schedule which leaves me too lazy to do anything every night. Forgive me nyxxie for the late response, here it goes :

These are the rules:

1. Link the person(s) who tagged you
the luvly nyxxie
2. Mention these rules on your blog.
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.

+ I can never mess my bed up during the day.When i take short afternoon naps on my bed i'd cover up with a throw or something but never pull the quilt out of order. I hate messy beds. Obsessive Compulsive ? maybe.

+ When sitting in the passenger seat with someone driving, i count light poles on the street,or bushes.

+ I still love tom&jerry. Sometimes when i have nothing better to do i look them up on youtube and watch them.

+ I love eating ice.

+ When im really embarassed or being scowled at, i must smile. I've had this problem since i was in the third grade. The principle once called me to her office for getting an F in math. She kept asking me why I was careless, and all i could do was smile until she let me go. I didn't say one word.

+ I cant walk straight.seriously. Whenever im walking by someone they end up getting closer and closer to the walls beside them, and end up switching sides with me. I have balance problems, thus i can't even ride a bicycle. Thank god ive learned to balance myself on a horse.

4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.
im breaking this rule.

a while ago i accidentally found a tv program that i fell in love with. Dress my nest , by Thom Filicia. The designer basically take any outfit picked by the candidate and designs a room according to that outfit. Although i hate the attitude, his work is pretty impressive.




meanwhile,i've been trying to enhance my skills with a software im a newbie to. HomeDesigner by Better Homes.I'm gonna need sometime to master it, but i can tell i'll have a lot of fun experimenting with it. It's also great for visualizing my ideas sometimes.

my latest creations involve a thank you card i made for a baby shower, and an unfinished layout banner pour mon amie :



we're having a mini pool party tommorow morning, so must get sleep to save my energy! au revior dear blog.

color palette

im currently loving whites,greys,and shocks of electric color. bright purple is suddenly appealing to me. But my favorite palette of all times is that of marie antoinette's. I just love everything about that movie, the dresses, the shoes, the food & everything else.
I'm currently searching for furniture to decorate my new nest with, which is why im deciding on certain color palettes. I read somewhere the best way to pick a theme is pick an art piece with appealing colors to work with.




style wise, i luv boudoirish/paris-rococo style combinations.





finally, picking objects with fun colors is the best way to accessorize and embellish. Macaroons,cakes, laces, and textures are great sources of inspiration.

renewed

i finally managed to make time to quickly give this place a much needed makeover. I had so many things in mind to write about but never really got the time.

The last weeks were full of surprises for me. First a last minute trip to makkah that was absolutely incredible. Its been a while since ive been to makkah in a time other than ramadhan. It was so peaceful and empty at all times which was quite surprising.

A few days later, my cousins and i attended an endurance race for the first time ever. We left home at 6 am and got there at around 7:30 when the 160 km race began shortly afterwards. It was amazing following those horses all around until the final round, but made me feel really sorry for the disqualified horses after vet checks. I'm sure the winners felt extreme victory after the effort they put into this.I learned afterwards that endurance weakens horses a lot, and could result in death of some horses. I wouldn't be comfortable doing that to them, although the race was really a beautiful experience.
I also finished my midterms, thats when i decided to work on fixing up this place.
as for now, i must put myself to sleep. a bientot.

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 :



with ♥
