New 'look'

Thanks to the Friendly Lion for helping me out with the settings for the amazing new beta blogs!

Looks quite cool and it is MUCH easier than having to figure out HTML codes!

Two posts in one day, hmm, that's a record :D

Untitled...

Another update, yey!

Sitting in the auditorium at uni, quite early today, for the first time in a while the traffic was NORMAL! i.e., it didn’t take me more than 30 minutes to get to the Academy, yesterday it took me about 35 to 40 minutes to do that, while today it barely took 15 minutes, hope it is like this every single day :)

Got a tiny quiz in Economics later on today, studied as much as I can for it but it all sounds the same after repeating it… Think I should have invested my time in preparing for a midterm in French (Tomorrow), but there isn’t THAT much to study for in either.

Trying to find new places to study at and/or waste time at nowadays, Starbucks on SZR has been an obvious option (Besides being a good one of course), Shakespeare café is excellent as well, but I doubt it stays open until 2 AM like Starbucks! Been at Cosmo yesterday (Well, technically today as I was there at 1 AM) and noticed that they had other branches such as Hakawati in Marina and SZR and some other ones, I asked for specific directions/location details from the waiter and he had no clue (Predictable), heck, one of them had the phone number written and it started wit 04, thus meaning it was in DXB, when I asked the waiter he informed me it was in Abu Dhabi *Bangs head against table*

Less than a week left for Ramadan, and since I have no classes whatsoever on Sunday that could mean that I will have up to six days off (Normal Friday + Saturday, no classes on Sunday and three days of the Eid break from Monday – Wednesday, not bad at all! Haven’t got any plans really, not the type of person that plans things successfully, but I can confidently say that I will be at Peppermint (na3na3 club :D) on October 27th as Hernan Cattaneo will be back, missed his last gig due to the fact that I had to be in boring, boring Amman with the family. Had a laugh the other day, some people on Mahjoob believe that Paul Oakenfold, Ferry Corsten and another dj (I think Tiesto) will spin in Jordan in one single event, well, it would be good enough if one of them showed up, let alone all three!!

Got some pictures for you guys, guess it will spice up the blog a bit!
Hope you like them :)

Ramadan ranting + other stuff

Well, finally decided to post something on my little online blog, so much has been going in the past two or three weeks, school started (Well, it is university but I’d rather call it school), L’s turned nineteen, Ramadan started and it’s almost over (THANKFULLY!) and I finally found my soul mate.

I’ve been nagging throughout this holy month, and it’s due to a reason, I didn’t have such a bad case of sleeping disorders for such a long time, add to that eating disorders and lack of any proper studying. There’s no time to do anything really due to iftar, one is sleepy and hungry before iftar and is even sleepier and pressed for time after it. Ended up putting on weight and couldn’t really study anything in the past two weeks, something’s wrong and that is certainly Ramadan!

Been rather disconnected from many people lately, I should stay in touch far more often with some people but for some reason I haven't done so… I owe apologies to some people I guess, feel like a stranger sometimes, lost, but I am hoping that I get my ‘life’ sorted out soon. I must, got no choice to be honest. Somehow must find a balance between my studies and my so-called ‘social life’.

Hmm, after my parents got fed up of my ‘expenditures’ they decided to give me pocket money instead, it isn’t that bad, at least I can save up some money and do whatever I want as long as I have saved up enough money, on top of that, it is not that bad as I was promised a brand new laptop, I doubt I would get it before the end of the current semester in Mid February, but it should be well worth the wait as I can practically get any laptop I want (The magic words: Price is not an issue). Currently this is the one that I intend to get (Assuming that no better or newer and more attractive models are released from now till I finally get my new toy which I will hardly use =p)


Should be able to finally get my own credit card soon, Emirates Bank seem to offer the most suitable credit card for little students (Fa3afee6 :D) like me. Inshalla will call up the bank tomorrow and double-check what is required. It would be much easier to buy things online without going through the parents that way. *Expects to spend more time on souq.com now!* My next plastic

Hmm, my thoughts are mixed up, jumping from one topic to another as usual, but Ramadan is almost over, that means the return of club nights! The line-up is amazing, Groove Armada, Hernan Cattaneo, ATB, Axwell, Deep Dish, Max Graham amongst many others, S should be back for eid so that is a plus as well, Hernan Cattaneo the first to spin at the Peppermint club on the night of the 27th, whoaaa! I’ve gotten sick of trancing and dancing in my room and my car and sometimes even in public!! Need some MINT in my life… Can’t bloody wait. David Newsum informed me that Above & Beyond are expected to come back again to the little Apartment club at some point in January or February and guess what? On their official site two gigs in Dubai are yet to be confirmed in November and December, not bad at all, eh? ;)

Some personal messages to different people, no initials this time though.

- I know I should stay in touch more often, been bad to you guys :(.
- You’re so adorable, bless you! Maybe I will follow you forever ;).
- Had a blast with you guys! Hope we do it far more often :).
- You p*ss me off, don’t throw accusations around; we try our best but sometimes there’s a limit to what one can do.
- Don’t like it? F*** off!
- To me: Pleasing and satisfying everyone is impossible, you know it you idiot out of past experiences.
- I strongly dislike how you appear and disappear all the time, stop acting as if you are always ‘around’ when you are not there.

Hmm, guess that is enough ;)
