First Day of Classes

Have I told you how much I love architecture professors : D.... hahahaha

Reflecting

Here I am again, in the same comfy chair, in the same lounge of the same airport, where I typed the post before my last one. Again, I sit her and reflect on my life. Although I haven't worked on every relationship I wanted to work on (because I wasn't given the chance) I believe I made my relationship with my family much better. I'm closer to three of my cousins. I've become one of my little sister's best friends. I got to see my grandmother almost daily, and I finally saw my distant friend. I'm proud of myself. In two weeks, I have done a lot of good towards my friendships with the people close to me.

Unfortunately, I haven't ended the friendship I wanted to end. The person I want to end my friendship with is actually traveling on the same flights to the states as I am, but I seriously don't feel like talking. The situation is very awkward. I got a wave, returned it, and then we spent the rest of the flight trying to avoid each other. I'm not really looking forward to spending another 8 hours on the plane with him. I think I need to explain the situation, but I'm not in the mood really. Sorry, I'll post the story when I feel like it, hopefully soon.

Change of Plans

I would like to say Happy New Year to you all first. Although 2008 for me, was much better than 2007, I wish 2009 will be even better. I've realized that I should work on the relationships with the people in my life. That is definitely my most important new years resolution. I wish you all happiness, good health, fortune and friends.

I finally decided that staying in the city, while everyone was away wasn't the smartest decision, Lol. I miss my family and friends too much. There are 14 people that I really want to hug. So I'm coming back to do so. I'm actually in the Airport, waiting for my flight. Can't wait to see all the people I love!

My grandmother is now officially an old lady. She used to always stand tall, and walk with such grace, but I've heard that she has been experiencing back pain recently, and she was in the hospital for a week a few months ago, and since then the whole family has been visiting almost daily to keep her company. My grandmother is one of my favorite people. I have a lot of respect and love for her. (I'm also one of her favorites, lol). I also want to see, and get to better know my cousins that I haven't seen in a while.

This summer, I've also got to know my brother and sister a little better. I miss them so much. Especially my baby sister (I really don't know why I call her that, she's 14, and quite mature for her age). I also miss my parents like crazy! I can't wait to shower them with hugs and kisses (until they start pushing me off them, lol).

There are also some friendships that I need to work on, and even though I'm staying in Kuwait for less than two weeks, I'll have to make the best of my time. I also want to officially end the friendships that I really don't see going anywhere, and the one's that are causing me more grief than happiness. Isn't it sad, when you feel like the friends you had since God know when, are not what they turned out to be? Some things have got to change though.

Happy New Year Bloggers!

P.S. This song really gets to me. Enjoy!

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):
