In The City




First... I'd like to say that I have been seeing many new bloggers. Wow, much has changed since my disappearance. Thank you all for commenting and welcome to the blogsphere : ).

So, remember how I was kind of feeling bored the other day. Well not any more kids. I told myself that no matter how much I want to just stay home and relax, that I'd force myself to take walks around the city at least twice a day. 

I noticed something as I walked around the city. There wasn't a main place where you can go and see all the Christmas decorations. It was scattered around the few little parks, in front of major skyscrapers, museums, and city hall. It was kind of sad. I wish that the city would have paid attention to one spot, and made an amazing job with the lights and decorations, so that more people would be focused in that area. Instead, you have to walk a lot to see decorations that aren't that satisfying to the eye. But I did enjoy the walks, even though some of them were past midnight, people were still walking around, and it wasn't as dead as I thought it would be.

You know what's also cool? The building I live in (one of the building in a major street in the city) has become a part of a 12 building permanent light show project. Colored lights would turn on and off at the same time throughout the walls of all the buildings facing the street, and all in the same time, they'll change color. Sometimes, load orchestra would play and the lights would dance to match the beat of the music. I just love it. I also love it when there are homeless people playing hey Jude or beauty and the beast on their harmonicas or violins. Living in the city is turning out better than I thought.




Update:

This is an actual picture of one of the streets that I passed as I was walking around. You probably won't know which city this is unless you live here.

Not So Typical TV.


For the past week or so, I have found myself watching national geographic and the history channel much more than I normally do (an hour a month). I have started recording shows like Engineering an Empire (different empires, and what creations they have come up with to survive), and some that are related to Hitler and Saddam. I know freaky. I've even recorded a show called doomsday (judgement day). 

Lol, then I realized, that I have been so bored that I had to find something new to interst me. Last semester was so busy that I feel like I am useless now. I went and took walks around the city day after day since the semester was over, but being without friends and family, I really do find myself feeling lonely. All my kuwaiti friends are back in kuwait, and my studio friends are back home to celebrate the holidays (they can't stay at the dorms during winter break).

Happy Holidays!



Sorry I've been away y'aaall. My laptop frikin' broke down on me. I got frustrated so much. It hasn't even been a year since I bought it! I was about to go out and buy a new one, but remembered how my friends made fun of me for doing that, and besides, my ipod was also acting crazy on me... All the songs got deleted when I tried charging it. So I needed my laptop to be fixed or else I'd have to download over 5500 songs all over again.

So I finally got school out of the way, thank God for winter break... and my laptop is working again, so I have no reason not to be posting frequently (will be anxious to read all your comments again fellow bloggers).

Here's the song I'm most into these days (shows how I feel in someways):
