Good Things Come to Those Who Wait? First, play this file.. & whilst listening, read on ;p Bless Amazon.com, I could always count on those guys to draw a smile on my face first thing in the morning. The camcorder is out {Mr. Fur & Shammany, thanks for your advice -- aren't you proud of me? ;p } I chose overnight shipping for this item, but with the recent Aramex Shop&Ship delays it would probably take another 5 days before it gets here, or longer. This month's vitamins & supplements shipment for IB & Sultan have not arrived either, they were supposed to be here the first week of May but when I rang them to inquire about my routine box pickup, all they had to say was "We'll inquire and get back to you" ..they never did. So, for the time being, I'd like to get my hands on domestic distributors of equine supplements that would have the equivalents of Grand Complete Ultra, Finish Line Electrolyte Supplement, & Tahitian Noni. After last night's session, I have no intentions of stopping my training, not even in the summer. Training last night was beyond anything I had imagined, my trainer's jaws were dropped on several occasions with eyes like flying saucers. Out of all days, I honestly didn't think I'd have the stamina for as little as 5 minutes of training yesterday, I had spent the day in Dubai for a meeting and what seemed like a century & a half of being stuck in traffic, by the time we arrived back in Abu Dhabi I was already late for my chiropractic appointment & there wasn't anything I could do about it. Daunting. So I dragged my feet home, slipped into my jodhpurs & my favorite {& tattered, if I may add} hello kitty tee & headed out to the stables. If there's anything in the world that's guaranteed to make my mood turn around in a fraction of a second; it would be the sight of IB. I came to know that he's had a "fist fight" with the farrier's stallion in the morning, ..apart from a few surface scratches, he's fine.. needless to say, he won ;p Aaaannnd speaking of winning: a really pleasant event is scheduled to take place soon, I haven't shared it with many, in fact, immediate family + muse + karroozi + and a couple of people from work {only because I couldn't contain my excitement} -- seriously, ..it took about 2 hours for it to sink in, when I first got the news almost instantaneously I found me self dialing my dad's phone number, which is the case with every piece of happy news I receive {why do I do this? no clue! but I always find me self wanting to tell him first} & then shared the news with mum, & my sister <3 ..& to celebrate that I rewarded me self with more cuteness from the Chanel boutique, less torturous for the feet this time, & unbelieeeeevably gorrrrrgeousssss <3 I love them & can't take them off! & have them on as type this =>   For the past couple of weeks, everything seems to be unbelievably at bay.. & certain mysteries have solved themselves like a magic jigsaw puzzle, ..the world is simply in order. It's good, except that for anyone who knows a thing or two about impermanence knows better than to think that this ships with no expiration date.. the sensible thing would be to enjoy them & make the most out of your experiences which you can, non? precisely. ..which is exactly what I've been doing. After dozing off in a full body massage at the Anantara spa, followed my a manicure & a pedicure {to compensate for all the toe-abuse I've been doing lately}, I watched this movie -- Ashton Kutcher? SO CUTE! Cameron Diaz? stop whatever you're doing to those arms, they were perfect back then, bring those back. Queen Latifa? Adooooorable <3 Everyone needs a little bit of QL in their lives, & tomorrow I get to spend much needed time with the Queen Latifa of mine: Muse <3   Labels: Music, Pony Tales $7 in my moola box | link | email this post Karma, I Love You Imogen Heap - how does she do it all on her own? I was to Imogen Heap's 'Just for Now' on our way to Dubai yesterday when I thought things couldn't get worse: a flat tire on Shk. Zayed Road -& I was right, they couldn't get worse ..they got better. Karma changed her mind about me, & decided that -after all- I'm a nice person, & it's time to pay back for all the kind things I've done. And, remember when I said when it rains, it pours? Well, I'm happy to share with you gorgeous people that this concept stands merit for all good things too. No longer feeling gray, in fact, the thought of the availability of a jumping trainer weaved vivid thoughts of getting back on track, & in the picture of my mind I saw my I.B. bearing me on his back & jumping happily every after. For those of you who have texted me, emailed me or commented here with details of trainers: a big THANK YOU coming your way! coupled with wishes that you get all that your heart desires =D  When I decided to stop riding -for a day- I couldn't get the thought of it out of my mind.. & to make myself feel better I started pointlessly browsing online for the marginal things, anything really as long as it had an equestrian flavor to it & didn't require zipping my credit card more than the abuse I put it through over the past couple of weeks -- which was when I came across this adooooooooooooorable test, funnnnn! ..until I discovered that it yields two personality types for me. Fire Horse: The Perfect Show Horse I could almost hear Badr -my coworker- say "AHA! SEE? I told you you're a gemini in disguise!" -- Badr has this theory that my date of birth was lost in translation somewhere in time. It makes me laugh everytime I hear his meticulous Harvard-law-school graduate tone 'accusing' me of it. My theory? I'd like to think I'm a Virgo, just an exceptional one ;p Take the test, & share your results =D I *heart* *heart* *heart* my favorite Gemini. Labels: Music, Pony Tales $2 in my moola box | link | email this post Eye Hug U Last night, I spent an hour of my time working on deafening my sister with my I.B. talk, what really surprised me was the stamina she had and tolerance for my stories that I knew she couldn't relate to, nonetheless, she still asked questions like "How much do you love him?" and "Can he tell that you love him this much" while I thought to me self well, hell yeah! with all the carrots and back massages I give him, he better!! -- The two of us sealed the phone call laughing our hearts out at I.B.'s stories and my silliness- A smile stayed put well after hanging up the phone, and my mind took me on a rewind trip to the events of my day only to realize that -at the risk of sounding uber utterly cliché- I.B. is the sunshine of my days <3 honestly, he is. When I think of the weekend, my heart flutters & I start making plans of how -this weekend- I'll ride him in the garden in the morning, sponge-wash him, & let him loose in the paddock, sit & watch him run & kick.. and then in the evening, ride him again, some flat work & jumps, shower him, take him back to his stall, give him a good neck massage & laugh my heart out at the bizarre facial expressions and strange extensions of the lips he does that send me straight to the ground in laughter *lol*! & I LOVE the fact that he's not the lovie-dovie kind, he doesn't like touching or nearness of any kind & often shoots his ears back ready to bite ANYTHING that comes near his face -except me => Selfish and absurd, I know, but that's my kind of love ;p When my sister asked me to describe how I feel when I'm with him, my answer surprised me as much as it did surprise her: "it feels like sneezing." -Not the act itself, but rather, that feeling you get when a sneeze is due, ..it clots your face, sends your eyes to dreamy-mode & tears, and finally when you do sneeze, everything feels at home, in a good way. With I.B., it's exactly like that; whenever I see him trotting and cantering loose in the paddock, or on the lunge, my eyes morph into two giant buzzing hearts like neon signs & I huuuuuugggggg him hard with both my eyes {just in case you're wondering; to hug someone with your eyes all you have to do is look at them, breathe in, and clooooooooooooose your eyes tight -- the tighter, the stronger the eye-hug <3 My sister called first thing in the morning wanting to recap on last night's conversation saying: "Salama, this morning I woke up with thoughts of what you said about your pony last night, and I was thinking.. It's really good that you're capable of loving this much, ..that you feel this, and have it in your life.. *pause*.. I was just hoping that you would feel this way for a man.. not a horse" The two of us paused for a few seconds before bursting out in laughter. The truth is, I love my pony more than I've loved many people before.. but he will never be the replacement or substitute for love. I love my horses way too much than to make them substitutes for -anything-, & I love myself waaay too much than to make anyone, or anything a substitute for love. The way I see it, everyone deserves a chance in experiencing true, genuine love -the good kind, the rare kind, and until my true genuine love finds its way to me -or me to him- I'll continue being the Now before I go, come closer to your screens so I could eye-hug you too => Labels: Music, Pony Tales $15 in my moola box | link | email this post Made in The 80's With Love There's something so simple and low-maintenance about 80's music that I can't quite spot out, ..the kind of music that would appeal to our philipina maids -- I dunno if it's the nostalgia that takes me back to the many afternoons I spent hiding under the ironing table, playing dressing up my barbie dolls & playing house whilst the maid ironed clothes crisp listening to one cassette tape after the other.. while I occasionally peeked out to oddly stare at queer MC-Hammer-style dance moves, or watched Aida dye Rose's hair jet-black with a toothbrush. I still don't understand why a toothbrush. So yeah, I don't know why 80's music appeals to me now. Perhaps I'm subconsciously yearning to hide away and get lost in a world where I create the fate of my Barbie, where there are never bad hair days, nor waking up on the wrong side of the bed.. Where her tall, dark, & handsome Ken is always emotionally attentive, & the two of them live a life of abundance in a home made of tissue boxes and books. I Love 80's music! I'm in the lookout for a digital video camera, mainly to keep track of my jumping training and get the opportunity to judge & criticize my own jumping style and/or mistakes. It was a fierce competition between panasonic and sony, ..I finally opted for the sony for one reason: It's smaller. Please tell me I made the right choice, when it comes to video cameras, I'm really far from being the expert in the field.   Labels: Music $8 in my moola box | link | email this post News Digest Every now & then I drop a bullet-point email to my closest friends highlighting the biggest things happening in my life at that time, or marginal random pieces of information that I think may be of interest to them. There are times when we call each other several times a day, & there are other times when we don't hear each others' voice for weeks, hence the news digest emails I send out. To build on that concept and compensate for my absence the past couple of days -which is by the way attributed to a 'working-progress' internet line- I'll let you in on what I've been up to lately, so here goes: 1) I received the official letter from HR stating that I've been promoted to associate manager! Ta-Daaaaaaaa! -- if anything, I'm hoping this would make my mom understand that I have a real job, & that I “just can't leave work conveniently at 2:00” 2) I am contemplating taking a career jump, which I've been thinking over for a while but feel less confused about now. I also intend to discuss this with a person who knows better. 3) Realized that work is so much more fun when you don't have someone micro-managing every bit of what you do. Brilliant! 4) Also realized that men in white breeches, black knee-length riding boots, & jackets are very, very attractive. 5) My fortune cookie du jour said "Love is for the lucky and the brave." *scratches head in deep thought* Considering the fact that I didn't allow myself to take a second glance at the 1800's knight-look-alike rider with piercing dark eyes, and hair brushed back like a fairytale prince - does that make me a coward who'll never find love? 6) Had the best canter on my pony just yet, it was like a dream.. for several minutes there, the two of us were in perfect harmony on lose reins, it was like heaven on earth, a feeling so unique I cannot even begin to describe it, so much bigger than anything I've experienced before & would absolutely LOVE to have that seamless harmony again, and again, and again..x infinity 7) I did a whither-tracing for him, & took his saddle measurements on my own {yey! feels like a true horse-wow-man!} It was a pleasureful experience. 8) The two of us went for a walk in the garden where I held him by the halter, and walked for an hour or so in the midst of long trees and on muddy grounds. We {I, is more like it} ran while he trotted -- it was an absolute delight to be in the company of something so beautiful. I love him! I love himmmmm! I do love him!! 9) Although acrylics dry much faster than oils, I find oils so much more original & colors never lose their vibrance with age. The older the painting, the better it looks. 10) I have a "thing" for philipino style 80's love songs lol 11) G thinks men find me intimidating, & that I should "lower barriers of entry" 12) I think "the greater the risk, the higher the expected return" -- if there's anyone out there worth my time, I have no doubt he would take that risk ;p 13) G also would like a solid affirmation that now he sits highest amongst my bestest fwends list ;p As you can see, he is VERY demanding like that {I hope you're reading this G} 14) My co-worker swears that I do not -in any way- resemble an accurate sample of what Virgos are, & according to him, I cannot be anything but a Gemini. And of course, you & I know exactly how I feel about Geminis ;p so, in all ostensibility I welcome the casual remark & pick a date of birth off of someone else's calendar, the 14th of June. Why did I pick Che Guevara? -- Well, let's see: #1) Umm.. because I'd like some of his influential nature to rub-off on me? No? You don't see that happening? Okay, at least I tried >_<; #2) He's latin, which means that hot by default lol, #3) He had an asthma growing up, we have THAT in common. #4) He is also brutally honest, which -more often than not- got him in trouble. I can tell you a thing or two about getting in trouble for being honest. But to be more realistic, I like the 14th because it falls right in between the birth dates of two people I admire and look up to in many ways, the first was born on the 13th, and the other on the 15th. And now, yours truly is sandwiched between the two =D Having said that, I do not forgo my right to the 14th of September, I like the fact that the woman who invented contraceptives was born on the same day. See, we're party poopers by default *evil grin* >=] ..and, before I go, I'd like you to watch The Motorcycle Diaries & once you've done that, let's talk about it here.. I'd like to know your throughts, all of you => I love this movie, one of my faaaaaavorites, like, EvErrrrr =D I love the production, and the music, c'est très très bon =D Listen to these music files by the composer:     
$11 in my moola box | link | email this post Cozy in the Outdoors  Mme Coco Chanel in rabbit fur outfit lol  Strike a pose!  Tantra's super poofy eyeZz lol   The best part of a weekend is that time when we first wakeup, we stretch in bed, tossing & turning from one end of the bed to the other, & if in the mood, pick up the phone to speak to our friends & favorite people at the risk of exposing the person at the receiving end of the line to near-deaf experiences with your husky & barely-there voice singing. Priceless! Friday evening, I decided to spend the night outdoors. Tantra & I curled up together in this round daybed outdoors where I like to spend lazy afternoons in the company of Chanel, Tantra, & a book. Tantra looked soooo adooooorably cute, she found herself a cozy little corner by my shoulder with my arm wrapped around her & fell asleep immediately. Mr.Insert Name Here kept us guard, lying there static I wondered if he we're in a position to speak, what would he have said? The three of us woke up squinting our eyes at the sun above us, it stamped kisses on the exposed parts of me, making me the human version of an appaloosa. Tantra woke up with the poooooofiest eye EvErrr, Haha, so poofy you couldn't tell where her eyeballs were hiding.. Hilarious & cute at the same time lol! As soon as I put my feet on the ground getting ready to walk back inside our house, she protested by jumping from where she was lying down to place herself on my lap, and lower her chin in a very "I want to sleep here & you're not going anywhere" manner. ADORABLE! ..but of course, I got up. Highlights of my weekend: + Packing my Nikon film camera & lenses for a photo-shoot of my pony. The outcome? FABULOUS half-wall size photos of my gentleman to beautify our home. I <3 him. + Sleeping in the garden for the first time, of course. + I cut my fringe, again. This time cascading style. + A phone call to confirm the do-ability to alter this goooooooooorrrrgeous Alberta Ferretti chiffon dress that I tried out & couldn't find in my size. I thought twice before making the purchase, but I simply couldn't resist its beauty <3 + AED 80 pair of tres stylish shades! super superrrrrrr hot, lol + Seeing an Andalusian stallion for real, for the first time. MASSIVE! + 70% done with re-arranging and unpacking boxes inside my painting studio, which means I get to paint again <3 + New music CDs *Yey!* Also on the bright side was karroozi's email that I received this morning, lol, here goes: "I dreamt that u bought 2 croco birkins..black and green! the black one 7ag ur sister -so kind of u- lolFirst of all, OMG! LOL! I laughed so much at this email, I was in a meeting with official people negotiating the terms of a contract, and I was meant to keep a poker face, but this email made it nearly impossible *lol*.. first I lost sense of location and setting & imagined that her dream was true. Next, there was this GRIN on my face staring at my blackberry -not cute-, & then I came back to my senses and attempted disaster recovering by squinting my eyes at my blackberry screen, lifting one eyebrow in cap 'A' letter, and lowering the other in tick point shape pretending to be extremely concerned with what I was reading on my device {which I was of course, 'cept that it wouldn't have mattered to any of those in the same room}. Sometimes I wonder how can my interests be so wide apart, I wouldn't want to imagine their standard deviation graph {now i'm thinking: neeeerrrrd}! But seeerrrrriously >_<; I sometimes wonder if I'll ever explode of harboring such diversity & constantly switching between the business-me, and the 'me'-me. Anyways, ..so, karroozi's email was super cute because it meant that some of you out there have the same feeling I have: everyday that goes by is actually a step closer to my lovely birkin *grins from ear to ear* -- A friend of mine promised to list my name in the NY boutique which I'm hoping will have a more realistic time-frame >_<; ..So yeah, I'm feeling goooood about this! I'm also feeling other things in the air, let's not talk about them now.. because now, I'd like you to listen to one of my newest favorite artists who has a beautiful voice with tres authentic arab-cross-andalusian music, she sings & plays the guitar like oud, how original is that? Listen to her here: ..and here: Have a faaaaaaabulous day xx $5 in my moola box | link | email this post Do You QR?  I'm obsessing over Claude Challe's Just Good Music, 3 CDs of brilliant music for all moods: chill, vibe, & dance. Vibe is my current favorite & Rasheed -my driver- automatically plays track #2 the minute I seat me self in the car, clinging to my steaming cuppa tea first thing in the mOrning on my way to work. It puts me in a great mood instantly. Listen to it here: And, Oh my God? I now like low-tinted windows SO much more! They're so much brighter on the inside, & reading your book becomes so much easier without having to dig for the lost book light under the mats lol  Another great album that I came across is TheOne's Eargasm, it has 2 CD's, the first is "Play" which is more along the animated edge, & the second is "Feel", a playlist on the chilled/mellow side, brilliant really! I couldn't find it on amazon.com to link it directly, but my suggestion is that you drop by the nearest TheOne showroom & pick up a coupla copies pour toi & your friends, they'll love it <3 Speaking of love, I'm LOVING this time of the year here at the office *lol* -- it's so quiiiiiet, & I actually have time to blog in the mOrning, i LOVE blogging in the morning. Everyone is out of the office {& country} for christmas, I'm so happy that I'm wishing everyone a merry christmas, ..my mom too, who replies back with a shrug & a look that almost spells out What do I do with my girrrrrl Haha.. I don't see what's wrong with fluttering with happiness, even if that meant capitalizing on other cultures' special occasions <=)   Moroccan cuisine has also been a prominent resident of my love-list, & although my attempts at making the perfect pot of Moroccan mint tea have pretty much been hopelessly sad; that hasn't stopped me from deliriously experimenting with desserts. I'm still experimenting. My 'experiments' went a little beyond the kitchen and into the garden. Last night I put the final touches to what's I've been cooking in the back of my mind for a while.. A gazebo in the garden with lanterns stuffed with  Aaaaannnnyyyyways, just to let you know of the changes that are happening around here: 01.Comments After many hours spent trying to desperately resolve my php commenting system, I figured the register_globals/PHP5 upgrade problem will take much longer to tackle, most of your comments get lost in translation, & to answer your emails and concerns: no, I haven't been ignoring your comments, in fact, I don't even receive them. For that reason, I decided to adopt Blogger's built-in commenting system, it's a little different, but SO much more stable, & this way, I'll get ALL of your comments & have the opportunity to answer you back =) 02.QR Code my blog! I decided to adopt QR Coding for my blog. What is QR Code? -- For those of you who don't feel like getting techie and awl, basically, this little pixelated square is a graphic that you snap a photo of with your phone camera, and it automatically saves this blog's URL on your phone. You can access my blog from your phone without having to type the full URL, & if you ever travel to Japan, you'll use it to save other URLs, contacts, flight schedules, and much more. This is what my QR-Code looks like, and it will soon find its place on the left column:  If your phone doesn't come with a built-in reader, download a reader here.    Other modifications coming up: + The Book of Love is being updated with an additional page, & a menu. + Post archives sorted out by title of entry. Meanwhile before I go, I wish you a faaaaaaaabulous day, filled with joy, happiness, and lotssssss of love <3 xx Labels: Daily, Domestic Goddess, Music, Tech Talk $8 in my moola box | link | email this post Life Without Blogging  First thing, listen to these two files: and .. Perhaps this may sound a little less dramatic than you thought it would be, but, life without blogging was.. well.. normal. It was difficult at the beginning, & knowing that I didn't have a place to stream out my thoughts intensified the whole thought-process, and suddenly my mind & imagination took forms more fertile & vigor than ever before; every instant was a virtual blog post in my mind. Free-flowing words stacked themselves neatly in loquacity and exuberance, & there was nothing I could do about it. And just like everything else in life, we get accustomed to letting go, & before we know it, it stops being part of our system, and we move on. Unless we choose otherwise.With blogging, I chose otherwise. And I didn't want it to be the same, I wanted it to be better, zeal-ed with fancies and sentiments, felicitous to the persona behind it, & exquisitely simple & easy on your precious eyes. So yes, I'm back. It took me a while to get it together, & will take longer to attend to the small little technical details, but I'm here.. & just like life & love: they unveil one step at a time <3 $0 in my moola box | link | email this post Commitments Met I'm listening to this: & my favorite part starts @ 1:29 and I'm thinking: It's good to be me, today. My new year's resolution for 2007 were rather timid, and mOre on the conservative/small-goal setting end, nonetheless, I'm happy.. very happy that now -one month shy of year's end- I've met almost all of them: 01. 02. 03. paint, paint, paint 04. 05. 06. I have to admit though, I fell short at the painting end, although I've been going to my studio quite often, I just have not been feeling it {the paint, i meant}.. I'm *very* moody that way & nothing stirred me up recently, and it doesn't look like that will change in the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, what stirred me up was Brazilian music, I loved {still do} their way of pronouncing words of the lyrics when singing, & have wondered what would it be like to hear a brazilian speak to me, until I met the most unpleasantly annoying, most intolerable, most unbearable brazilian at the airport on my way back from Paris. He appeared confused about his age, almost competing with his teenager son with the hairdo, & the ipod music screaming out of his ears, & constantly pushing his baggage trolley behind my back leaving little -very little- space between me & the person queuing before me. Hearing him speak to his son I realized that Brazilian -unlike arabic- is perhaps one of those languages that sound better with music in the background coupled with many, many mental images of bronze skin, surf boards, & a chilled glass of piña colada >_<; Obviously, I need to dismantle that thought.

I decided to celebrate my first weekend after getting back to work by sleeping in this mOrning, ..15 hours of maximum sleep recovery to compensate for the lack of it last week, ..on the down side though; I have refugee eyes & cannot get myself to sleep tonight.. so I thought i'd write a quick post so that Pandora wakes up with a smile tomorrow morning ;) Stretching, tossing & turning in bed is an absolutely essential morning ritual that doesn't happen on work-days, unfortunately. You know what else doesn't happen on work days?

I have to! I have tooo!! ..so, my highlight du jour is a silver Moroccan tea pot for two avec two gorgeous little lilac glasses {err..cups?} I <3 it! I <3 it! I've been looking for a Moroccan tea pot that would make my heart flutter, & I finally found one.. I knew i had to have it the minute I laid eyes on it =D ..now, the only part left is to actually learn how to make my own moroccan tea >_<; Another highlight that I cannot miss is taking out my nephews & niece to go watch Ratatouille, how cute is that little rat {i know, the idea of a rat + cute is rather disturbing, but take my word for this one..Haha} I loved how obsessed he is about cooking, I could almost smell everything he cooked.. seriously lol.. & although i've watched the movie before, it still had the same effect on me upon leaving the cinema: Charged to cook! Amongst the highlights of this weekend is a bowling birthday party {waaaay too early} from the fabulous people I work with for awl of the virgos in our unit, ..6 virgos in one unit *gulp* Seeerrrrriouslyyyy! Six of us *double gulp* I'm starting to feel like China! >_<; But it can't be so bad.. i mean, this just tells you how virgos are just brilliantly smart & are in demand in the job market, everybody wants us. En revanche; we're just fabulous! ..{do I sound like i'm trying too hard? ..yes? lol.. okay.. this is the part where I stop and back off Haha} ..for what it's worth though, I think the analysis part is the only characteristic I have in common with claimed characteristics of a virgo, I cannot relate to the rest.
