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):

And The Work Piles Up Again

WARNING: MORE COMPLAINING.

Why do I never learn? I had more than a month to start working on my 3000-3500 word paper. I leave it for the weekend before to start as usual. Not to mention the shitload of work I have to do for my Design Rep. class. The model for that class is going to be awesome (I feel), if I finish in time off course. I also have two technical drawings of the model that I need to work on. That is not including my studio assignments, or my readings and projects for my Architecture and Technology class. 

I was planning on spending the day with nQ and Jinjin today, but plans change, even when you don't want them to.

It's crunch time and I'm procrastinating... I have to get to work if I want to pass this semester.

She Has Become Distant

I was reading meticulous’s latest post and It just struck me. I have been thinking about a similar situation for the past six months.

 

When one of my friends got married. She totally forgot about everyone she ever knew before her marriage. It's like, from the day she married the guy, he became everything in her life, and she started a new life. She also had a few arguments with people who used to be close to her, and decided to drift away instead of talking it through.

She sees her mom and siblings every other day, but she hasn't seen the rest of her family or friends in a looong loong time, how sad, right? It almost brought me to tears the other day. Why can’t she have both… a husband that she loves and great friends and family that will have her back whenever she needs it?

I want her to know somehow that I will always be there for her... if someday he’d break her heart (God forbid). I want her to lean on me and never even doubt that I won’t be there for her.

 

Sad thing is, I’ve been too stubborn to call her. I wanted her to call first ( but I guess that’ll never happen). We haven't talked or seen each other in more than a year. :(

Elections

It seems that Obama is winning so far, only time will tell. I think I like him... I was initially wishing that Hillary Clinton would win, but now that she's not running for president, I want Obama to win. 

I hope people don't start to riot. I've seen riots in this city, and let me tell you. IT AIN'T PERTY! Traffic totally shuts down... cars get flipped over, stores get broken into, people start beating other people up, and fires get outta hand! 

Yup, That all happened last week! It was frikin crazy!

                                                       *****Update******

The first African American President has just been elected!!! That's a big step... Holly shit!Congrats Obama!

 People outside are going crazy... screaming and honking away like a bunch of crazy maniacs... If I weren't so tierd I'd have joined them for like ten minutes... 

I hope it ends soon, I need to sleep to go to class in the morning!

          ******Update******

Fuck! I think I NEED EARPLUGS! Why...oh why do people do this! How much longer is this going to continue! I'm glad people are happy, but seriously... It's almost midnight, WTFF!

Living In Beautiful Surroundings.

Ever since I moved into my new apartment, I have fallen in love with it. I keep thinking of ways to decorate it (without breaking my bank). I'm getting two walls in my apartment painted next week! I can't wait... I bought the paint already, yesterday. I never knew paint could be so frinkin' confusing! The place I bought the paint is a green store, so that was cool, and the guys there were helpful (once they felt like I was actually going to buy the paint). After I paint one of the walls I'm going to hang three mirror-framed mirrors on it. I'm also going to hang up my new oversized clock, and assemble my bathroom storage unit for the master bathroom (The downside to my apartment is that there is very few storage areas). I need to go to IKEA to buy some shelves too. And there is a big empty corner in my bedroom that I need to fill up. I'm thinking, either a desk and chair, or a comfy armchair. I also need more lighting in my bedroom. I saw an amazing floor lamp online. It's kind of over my budget, but it's an amazing lamp. I’m also thinking of installing blinds to my bedroom, and curtains for the living room. That will have to come later though I don’t think I can afford it this month, lol. Maybe next month...

Anyways… I hope everyone enjoyed Halloween yesterday!
