[craving: A fun trip!]
Been lomographing lately.. and did the mistake of letting the driver take it to just 'any studio' coz I needed the photos ASAP.. I ended up with most of my photos burnt.. and the rest with the weird, burnt-out colors.. (>_<) Anyways here are just the rare few that made it:

More will be posted in Flickr
Anyways, it's raining! Mabrook 3alaikom el-ra7ma! =D

[Final whisper: PinkSushi: Let the countdown begin! ;P]

[craving: no poetry!]

As a person with a 'gold-fish' memory.. I get amazed repeatedly over the same thing.. =P One incident happens with my own best friend Samsoomah.. I've known her since forever, but everytime I pay attention to her when she's writing.. I am always surprised she's left-handed.. lol "Omg you're left-handed!" I'd say.. "Yeah and you KNOW that! You said the same thing last time too!" "No no I never knew that!".. After sometime.. the same incident happens.. =P lol *cough* ok my brain is disconnected..*cough*
So anyway.. as I was trying to take a break from work today.. the incident crossed my mind and I decided to research about being 'left handed' online.. (not that I research for a break =P) and I was surprised by what I found.. it seems that it is beyond just writing with the 'wrong' hand =P hehe.. Being left-handed is a world of its own! It's apparently recognized as a culture of its own.. a way to categorize someone and involves a totally different experience! Doing things right.. is always boring.. including being 'right-handed'.. lol This was an eye-opening experience..
Here is just a glimpse of what's out there:

- A website that has anything left-handed! You can order all sorts of 'left-handed' things, find out alot of left-handed information, join the left-handed club and many more!

- A directory of over 1000 famous left-handed people!

- Ofcourse there is a Left-handers day.. I wonder if Hallmark considered printing cards for this.. *scratches head*

- Left-hand design.. "the art of left-handed thinking"

- A site for, about and by left-handed people..

- On the side: left-handed guitars.. lets rock n roll lefties! I found many more.. but can't be bothered to post..

- Living lefty in a right-handed world .. you know its a cruel world living with us 'right-handed' people..

- Left-handed education website..

- Beware lefties! Watch out for these dangers!

- Even Yahoo! recognizes Left-handers as a culture/group..

- More left-handed shopping here, here and here.. a variety of things including mugs, notebooks, cameras and boomerangs.. (and just when you thought you ran out of creative options)

- Be a statistic: Do the left-handed poll then check the rest of the website..

- The left-handed piano website..

- The Left Handed DNA Hall of fame.. a confusing website.. =s

- And finally the good news: Study finds left-handers don't die earlier.. as was rumored by a sour right-handed person.. so there you go.. live-longer lefties! =D
After a while of this 'culture shock' of left-handedness.. I don't think I'll see Samsoomah the same way like before.. 'lefty' we7deh =P hehe

You live & learn people.. =)
[Final whisper: No offence to any left-handers.. =P]

[mood: Okay]
[craving: A secretary!]
I always tend not to talk much about myself in my journal.. for many different various reasons (I don't want to get into them).. but lately I have been thinking of considering an "About" section or maybe an "FAQ" section to answer all the same, repeated questions I get endlessly on email.. like what type of cameras i use..etc.. so while I am still brainstorming on that.. if you have anything specific you want me to mention.. please email me.. and I do not promise to answer anyways.. =P After all.. I am queen of this website and I draw the lines of my privacy ;)

I saw this in some website (I forgot where.. honest!), and modified it.. It originally was "Five Things".. I changed it to "Six Things.." since its my fav number.. =P Anyways:
Six Things You May Not Know About My Time in School Are:1) I still know some of the people that were with me in kindergarten2) I was the class ‘lawyer’ (No body messes with my friends) *Back-off evil teachers!*3) I got away with trouble-making most of the time coz in the academic side, I had ultimate Nerd grades4) I hated all subjects that were tech & number-related 5) I never, neverrr finished studying AND revising for an exam ever6) I studied in 6 different schools throughout all my schooling years
Six Things You May Not Know About the Job(s) I Have (or Had) Are:1) I am an extreme workaholic.. I love it & no, I don’t plan to quit.. 2) FUN is the most important element when it comes to work.. if it doesn’t exist, I stay home.3) I freelanced before & it paid off really well4) I am my own boss.. no matter how many people are on top of me in the organizational structure5) I am most productive when I am busiest & got 100 things to do6) I EXTREMELY hate routine & can never ever cope with it!
Six Things You May Not Know About My Online Life Are:1) What you see is what you get, there is no difference between me online & me offline.. probably offline I’m a little even more louder..2) I’m always in away mode in MSN because I tend to move away from the computer alot, talk on the phone or get distracted very easily without prior notice3) Supposedly I always like to think of my identity as mysterious.. but 99% of people who visit this website know who I am personally, so there goes the so-called 'mysteriousness' down the drain =/.. (I am still grateful for that 1% left however.. mwah love u) =P4) I take forever to reply emails.. sometimes even forget unintendedly.. coz I always see it as HW.. (>_<) 5) A lot of my closest & best online relationships have ended in tragedy =/6) I log in 1st thing in the morning when I wake up (literally before getting up from bed) and log in last thing before going to sleep.. *cough* addict *cough*
Six Things You May Not Know About My Core Personality Are:1) Loud, friendly & very out-going2) When I get angry.. I get angry3) No matter how much I try, my facial expressions always reveal how I truly feel4) I can be the most talkative person but I still can be the best listener you’ve ever had5) I get confused.. a lot! lol and I have a memory of a fish (I forget things *super* easily)6) I tend to give (sometimes even over-give) rather than receive..
That's all for now.. I may continue.. I may not.. depends..

Happy Birthday to someone special.. hope it was a sweet surprise and may all your dreamz come true.. ;)

Fantabulous: Thank you so much.. you are the best! =)

Everybody meet Banshee, Samsoomah's new, tiny, extremely-adorable and very naught kitten! (x 100 mashallah).. He is sooo irrisistable.. I had fun playing with him.. and you cannot help not want to squeeze him when you see him! *CAAAYOOOOT*

"Hey what are you starin' at?! Don't be fooled by my size.. I am one, macho, powerful kitten!" *RoOoOoar*

Holding lil Banshee.. he's so tiny! *cute* =D

Banshee shows how man he is.. and starts biting me with his milky, tiny teeth.. =P hehe *ouchiez.. not!*

Having a wrestle with my 3abba.. so far its hard to say who's winning.. =P

"Hey.. we don't do handshakes young lady!" *grrr*

Tiny Banshee attempts to try his super powers by breaking down the door.. he changes his mind last minute.. nothing interesting inside anyways.. =P

What's that? A ball.. how about a 1-1 football match?

"And who allowed you to take photos without my permission?! *grrrr*" Banshee attempts to pull away my camera.. =P

"That's it.. I've had it.. I've got better things to do.." *Purrrrreeeeyyyaaaaaw*
LOL that's enough me being silly for now.. have a nice day ahead.. =)

I've been to Meena Al-Salam Jumairah recently.. and yes, it is as nice as they say.. The sky looked like a painting that day which gave a beautiful background to some amazing shots.. I just wished any of my closer friends were with me that day.. ~sigh.. (You know who you are.. coz you got the whole report!) ;P hehe

As I was walking around.. I saw this bag full of God-know-what.. and you don't even want to know the different guesses I had been coming up in mind.. (>_<)

=x
Just so I don't leave you with a yucky photo in mind..

Just a few days ago, I finally used the lomo cams I got from my Samsoomah ..*hugglez* Ofcourse Dubai was where my 1st attempts took place.. though they're not-so-special scene shots.. but the outcome came out rather funky! Can't wait to start using the 8-lensed one! 8)

More lomo shots will be taken.. hopefully more professional.. =P

Has anyone tried these Italian chocolate truffels "Tartufi Dolci" from "Dolce Antico" in Mercato Dubai? If not.. then you must! Very-yummily recommended! =P

Thanks Naser for the tribute.. even more thanks for being a real friend when needed! ;)
