"I've been thinking too much about you, See the sunset with no sleep at all"

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.-- Albert Camus

Be friends with "me", 

not my miscellaneous additives, 

Be friends with "me", 

not for the hype you get when you're seen with me, 

Be friends with "me", 

not for a couple of hours of entertainment you get when you're around me, 

Be friends with "me", 

for that all might disappear,

and what use would you get in the end? 

Be friends with "me", 

I don't need an entourage,

I want "real" friends, 

the kind that are not in it for the swag*.

NB. Title is part of the song Moan by Trentemoller featuring Ane Trolle

" I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places that this heart of mine embraces all day through"

Love is a matter of proximity,
Not too near that you can grasp out and touch each other,
Nor too far that you're merely a speck in the distance,
Close within the fields of communication,
And far enough so as to have your own life,
Whilst you make them wonder if you belong to someone else..

Wishing you a "love-stoned" life,
Baroque

Ps. Optimism is good, but facts have a voice of their own.

Ps.Technology rocks, connects you to the people you want to stay in contact with.

"Thats Life, thats what all the people say, you're riding high in April, knocked down in May"

Life is a series of opposing events.. 

To get to a boom, an economy has got to have survived a bust.. 

To experience a brilliant view on a mountain's peak, you had to bust your butt climbing up that mountain..

To bask lazily in the sun, you'd have to survive a cold winter.. 

But one thing is certain, 

"When life closes a door (**sometimes demolishes a whole house on top of your head), 

God opens a window"

You have to make it through the rain to see the rainbow at the end.. 

PS. Thank you for re-lighting the flame i once thought would never burN again. 

"I heard that Cali never rains and New York's heart awaits"

I hate it when blogs don't accurately reflect the writer's personality.. 

When i was informed that "x" blogger was actually "y" person; i was flabbergasted.. 

"ماكوا وجه شبه يتقارن" at all! 

It's like they are living a double life or something; an online incognito hiding behind the computer screen whose afraid to show their true colors.. 

I'm not even going into "Blogger Anonymity"; in this case its more like reshaping one's personality to please readers or take up a new identity to appear cooler.. 

I find that bothersome, "wayid weird", and kind of sick; hence have no OTT (**over the top) and kind of lame blogs on my blog roll.. 

I believe in real people with truthful mirror-like blogs, and not a bunch of scam artists..

Those are the people i can relate to, and read on and on.. 

 

In context, stay real, be you, and quit the charades/ "أفلام", 

"باروك"

PS. I'd like to get a wake up call soon..

"بحكي عنك ياحبيبي لأهالي الحي تحكي عني ياحبيبي لنبعة المي"

There are certain things in life which give people a buzz, a certain euphoria, and just make up their day... 

I get a rush...:-  

-When i get a Latte, just stirring in my sugar on a Starbucks counter, lifts my spirits- i love seeing the milky foam spiral and twist with the wooden stick and create patterns in the coffee.. 

-When i make new friend and get to know them better, (**a la the "King and I"'s 'Getting to Know You'  hit song..) I love discovering people's tastes, ideologies, and interests.. I love exchanging points of views.. Best of all, i love it when i discover that we have a lot of things in common, and thus can already see the road of friendship being paved ahead of us, it's like when Dorothy first sets her eyes on the Yellow Brick Road.. 

-Getting a text message update from my friends.. Random "I'm doing this, this and this"msgs, "Thinking of You" or the most haphazard question or comment..

-Hearing one of the songs i absolutely adore and can't stop singing in my head on the radio.. 

-My baby cousins who find me the "center of their universe", matter of fact any person who thinks i am the "it".. (**yup, spotlight effect to the extreme) 

-Walking into an air-conditioned room after a long walk in the suffocating heat.. 

-Afternoon naps after a heavy meal (**bliss, even though i know its bad for your digestion and everything) 

-Singing my heart out, anything Karaoke or Sing Star-esque..

-Looking through pictures, and memories.. 

I'd love to hang around and list more things, this is such as introspective exercise,  i feel like i'm getting to know me more... But i have to carpe-diem the rest of the day and get the thousand or so things done.. 

PS. I can't control my smiles and excitement at times, but i sure can control my feet..

"ظبي اليمن يا حلا يا روح من يهواه حاولت أنساك لكن ما استطعت انساك"

So the Met organized its annual fashion event with the themes this year being Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy.. 

I love it when people dress up to suit a theme and really "يشتطون".. but "أكوا فرق بين اشتطات" and a disaster..

My Favorite Met Costume Gala Dresses are the following:

Love how the dress has a "Wonder woman" essence about it.. and the  cascading pink off the red makes it a strange yet gorgeous combination.. Bravo! she embodied the theme!

This is the kind of dress that would look totally gorgeous on someone else.. it is strange, nostalgic/retro yet very nautical in a sense.. i love how the gold color pops out, but again i don't think it suits her, the dress needs someone with confidence, she just looks stuck up.. 

I love how she reminds me of Star Wars, Queen Amidala, and Xena, the warrior princess at the same time.. the thing on her head, maybe it can pass as a hairband? is tres superhero themed, she looks like she can shoot people out with laser rays out of it.. i have a feeling we'll be seeing alot of necklaces dangling from people's foreheads in soon to be weddings.. 

The color of the dress just pops out of the screen, she reminds me of a "برتقاله"/ orange, but i don't know about the cut/style of the dress.. The shoes are divine, such a dazzling and funky addition to a bland yet color-ific dress.. 

I love, I love.. the color, the cut, i give it 10/10.. my favorite look that can be translated to a local wedding, c'est "فظيع" ! speechless.. 

I love the cut and ruffles.. i'm a ruffle-a-holic, but the color seems too regal for such a fun event, don't get me wrong j'adore "purple" (**B) but its not as fun as the rest of the dresses.. 

She looks like an angel superhero! the color is amazing, metallic beige is tres fabulous! but don't think it can be pulled off by anyone.. she looked the part.. 

The color, the color, the color.. enough said.. oh and she looks drop dead gorgeous.. she reminds me of a wave.. no idea, don't ask.. i think i'm too excited about chaleh tomorrow.. 

and that's a wrap! 

PS. You've always wanted a PS, this is for you.. i'm gonna so miss u.. (** "يعني" bo-em)

What do you get when you cross someone "فاضي" and an amazing "أوبريت" ? 

(**lol, "والله" no me, i merely stumbled upon it on youtube..) 

Did i mention that i adore that musical?

Here's the full musical for those who aren't familiar with it..

"والله إعلام الكويت دمه خفيف" even we are currently going through an extensions, 

full make up, and glitter extravaganza with bland story lines and killing people off 

at the end of every series..

"لو تدرين وش أنا منه خايف إن باقي لك من الذكرى حسايف"

Was up most of the weekend nights reading "Emma" by Jane Austen.. Mr.Knightley rocks, but he has nothing over Mr.Darcy, sorry.. 

Finished the book, and now i'm anxious.. 

I dread starting a new book, it's like i have to meet new people (**the characters of the book), get acquainted with them, and start remembering their names all over again as i start to immerse myself into their lives.. 

As i get to know them better, i start walking in their shoes (**which i adore) and start living their lives, thereby fully immersing myself in the novel.. 

All of a sudden the journey has ended, and i loose the familiarity i have just built, and find myself nearing the end of the book as i bid my new and short-lived friends farewell.. 

Remind you much of Life? (**just realized this is so parallel to life, just substitute books to different milestones and periods in life, or maybe perhaps people?..)

Wish you as much pleasure as i get once "أندمج إب كتاب" .. 

PS. Building castles in the sky, requires demolishing meager huts.. 

"She said the battle's almost won, and we're only several miles from the sun"

My favorite time of the day is at dusk, as the sun slowly makes its descent.. 

Everything is basked in a golden glow.. 

Beautifully glowing in hues of yellow, orange and eventually red.. 

To remind us that the sun is about to set.. 

An indicator that you have half a day left, 

till tomorrow, a new brighter day.. 

 

J'adore this picture, the dress, the hair, the sun shining on her locks..
