“Fireflies”, Owl City

19 January 2010

Can’t stop listening to this song, I adore the lyrics and music, although a bit sad… and Adam just loves the video!

It’s Winter in Dubai

13 December 2009

I have probably mentioned that the past few years have succeeded in turning me into a winter person who’d rather freeze in the dark than burn in the sun. Maybe this whole climate change has turned summer into this annoyingly unbearable season rather than a lovely sunny time in which you can do anything at [...]

“So How Was Nursery?”

27 October 2009

So last week was Adam’s first time experience with nursery. Before going there, I was fully aware of the big change that Adam will be experiencing and was well-prepared for the consequences… thanks to the internet, TV shows, parenting magazines, and the nursery’s Director of Education, who made it very clear that many children -as [...]

On Being A “Desperate” Housewife

22 October 2009

Being a full time employee and then switching into a housewife is really a big change in the life of any woman. That’s why many women, after having a baby, prefer sticking to their jobs and have someone help them out with their kids, or have any kind of arrangement they’d feel will give them [...]

Starting The Day

21 October 2009

WOW! Just came back from a… well, what was supposed to be just a quick visit to the closest recycling unit, and that is in the parking area of a supermarket near us. The walk is around 5 minutes (fast walking) and around 10 if you were lazy walking. The thing is, it’s really hot [...]

The Day Adam Went To Nursery

18 October 2009

Today was my son’s first day to go to nursery, and I mean the first day ever. As many friends of mine already know, I’m strongly against sending children to daycare/nursery at young age, and by young I mean a few months old, unless of course, if the parent is a single working parent, or [...]

La7that Wada3 (Moment of Farewell)

04 October 2009

Those of you who know me already know that I might be the biggest fan of the Turkish series “La7zet Wada3″ (originally titled: ‘Elveda Derken’), which was aired around a year ago on MBC4. And now it’s fortunately being aired for the second time, and surprise surprise, I’m watching it for the very ‘second’ time. [...]

In My Shoes!

02 July 2009

I had an appointment with Adam’s doctor today, and as I was getting ready, a pair of high-heels fell out the closet.  I really felt like wearing high-heels today, I love being comfortable, I do wear flip-flops, flats, and sports shoes a lot, but I’ve always had a weakness for high-heels, the not VERY high [...]

The MOVE (4): On the way to Dubai

11 May 2009

Waiting has got to be one of the most painfully annoying things any mother with a sick child in a crowded noisy airport could experience. Airport speakers: “flight number ####, **** Airlines, please head to gate number ## immediately“. I look at my watch and the plane is supposed to take off in 40 minutes. [...]

The MOVE (3): Leaving Tunisia

30 April 2009

It’s amazing how people get attached to a place even if they’re not aware of it. And it’s weird how even when you think you’re strong enough to manage a moving process and get over a place, and to keep everything under control, you find out that you’re just as unorganized, unprepared, and out of [...]
