LOTIVATION #3

So with the lack of posting and me not being able to post every week it will be more like every other week which is twice a month( every 2 weeks) also i have decided 'LOTIVATION' shall be a monthly thing which means every month I will be having a new motivational quote filled with love for you people.

Enough blabbering lets get to the point the quote I have chosen today is : "Do something today that your future self will thank you for" .
I think we all shall follow this when we are stuck in a situation as in we don't know what to do, just think about it, what will be its consequences and whether it will be worth it in the future.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Let me take the chance to wish you all a very blessed year and I hope what is bound to come is much better than what had occurred in the past.
A new year means new opportunities, new beginnings and new adventures so lets forget about all the bad moments of our past and live up to the future, for it holds much more than what we can imagine.
Work harder to achieve what you weren't able to achieve in 2013 and work to become a better more influential person.
Here I am sharing some of my new year's resolutions with you, read them if they are of any interest to you!!

1. Set my priorities right, and think of what I really want to get out of what am doing, instead of just wandering around in life with so much in mind; and also because I tend to give up half way through pretty much everything  I do or start.

2. swear and curse less and manage my anger and try not to lose my nerves very quickly.

3. Study harder and focus more in to studies.

4. I will be sitting for 4 IGCSE subjects this year precisely in May and am hoping to ace at least 3 of them if not all.

5.Read at least 10 new books, well with too much pressure of studies and the boards I will sitting, am not sure I will have time for this, but I will find a way and may be some free time.

6.I also have been lagging of posting recently and that is one thing I want to fix and so I will put in more efforts to try at least and post once a week.

7.As most of you who know me already, I am not that short but not quite tall as well and so I want to find a way to increase my height and may be put on a few kilos as well.

8. One of the things I want to do is also make more people smile, even if it means doing crazy things.

9.Improve my cooking skills and experiment more in the kitchen.

10. Go in new adventures and try much more new things specially during the summer vacation.

The end of the year..

This is nothing but a recap about how 2013 was for me.
Twenty-Thirteen was a year full of adventures, filled with ups and downs.. Had many obstacles but by the will of god and my efforts and so many more factors I managed to get through them, and honestly speaking.. through it I had some of the best moments of my life and met some of the greatest people.
Nevertheless, I also lost many friends who I once considered as my best friends, and had thoughts that we would never be apart and that we are too great to be broken, but masks unleashed and life proved me wrong.
Well lets do a month by month review.
January- as a start was fabulous, had a great time and enjoyed it very much, had so many adventures and tried many new things.

February- was nothing exciting, just the ordinary routine of school and home and some outings during the weekends

March- March though was the worst month of all, my life was all messed up and haven't had one straight thing in my life; thats also the period of time I lost many friends. Glad this situation didn't last long though because soon after came April.

April- I consider this to be the month of new beginnings, I started my life over again I would say, the month commenced with going to Umrah* and then I begun this blog.

May-  it was when everything started getting straight again in my life and I began to prioritize things and draw a path for my walk.

June-  was when I started my summer vacation, had a road trip with the family to al Ain and also got to experience the Ferrari world thrilling rides and etc.

July-  was a month full of joy and happiness and adrenaline rush, I travelled to Sudan along with my dad and brother and had some of the most cheerful and crazy days with cousins.

August- August marked one of the most amazing journeys of my life, well before anything I am bound to mention the very first day of August was so amazing I can't explain and the second day is the day I landed in Egypt which was when another cluster of days evoked, days full of happiness and great people I wouldn't mind be surrounded by all year round. I also went to northern coast  which was beyond amazing and attended a beautiful wedding!

September- was when all my journeys and trips came to a termination and I started school once again, and notably this school year is way better than the previous one.

October- I got my thoughts straight about school and that as this is my last 2 years in school I should put in more efforts in school and studies and notably that efforts did pay back with me getting good grades in reviews and I hope I did as well and better in the semester exams.

November- It was the month of birthdays.. too many birthdays! nothing so remarkable about that month, just got in to a single routine  of studies and tuition and barely had time for other activities in life, but indeed I did surprise with a special cake for her birthday which am proud of!

December- December finally got by, marking only 30 days to the end of the year which went by rapidly, I celebrated my birthday and had my semester finals and started my winter vacation and nothing so interesting apart of this.

*just in case you don't know what Umrah is, feel free to check this link it may show you a little about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umrah

a moment of freedom

well with all life's pressure over me, I barely have a moment to breath and the time I get to check over my blog or to write a post I consider is a great achievement by itself. With too much to do, I scantily have a hiatus to enjoy life. Not to lie, I do go out and enjoy from time to time.. but with so much in mind at the same moment; thoughts running back and forth in my mind about this thing or the other.

Honestly speaking I have many posts in my drafts, some only half completed, others just peeking through all done and complete waiting for me to gather up my courage and press the 'publish' button so you would able to read them.
Words took over and drove me away from the real point of this post and why I sat here to do; basically just to wish you guys. I hope you had a merry, happy and jolly Christmas, full of laughter, enjoyment and fun. Even though I don't celebrate Christmas as  I am a Muslim, the Christmas spirit takes over me when I walk in to the mall and see all the huge Christmas's trees all very charmingly, and the huge crowds of people walking in and out of shops buying presents for their loved ones, the positive energy  verge upon me from all around me and so I make sure to wish all (at least I hope I don't miss out on any)  my christian friends just like some do when its Eid.

a belated wish..

I know I am not the best of bloggers when it comes to posting more often, but what to do when you get drowned in life and its duties, sometimes you feel you don't even have to time to breath, but little by little, you work to live with it, cope with it and bear it.

However, I am not writing to apologize or to give you excuses as to why I haven't posted in a while or why am shortening in your rights, this is more of a belated wish for Eid, because this at least I can't miss out though it is quite late but late than never isn't it?!

So here it is; Eid mubarak , and I hope god had showered you with his blessings and you had good days.

And now that eid is over and the week holiday we got is coming to an end, everyone is stressing about life shizz once again, but after all as a change it was nice to have a break from the daily life routine and get gathered with family and friends.

if you are not familiar with the term *eid* or have no idea what it is, it will be nice to check this link and read a bit about it, hoping you will understand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha  

Lotivation #2

Day by day since I started my sophomore year of high school, I've been loaded with work and pressure; thus, loosing enthusiasm every day. I have been meaning to write this post a while ago but for some reason I haven't done it, but I feel you all and that's why am trying to keep up the motivation which at this point I need for myself !
The quote I chose today is a motivational life quote, which says : “Just know, when you truly want success, you’ll never give up on it. No matter how bad the situation may get.” - Unknown

I chose this one in particular because at the moment, I have to do so much, in so little time, and by the day it's getting tougher and harder to tolerate and that's why I need as much motivation as possible to get me going and stand by me.

escape.

Why do we teenagers want to escape? from our parent's scoldings? or a fight we'd had with someone we know perhaps?
We really think we saw enough and experienced a lot, when really its nothing compared to what is actually waiting ahead of us. The forms of escape themselves are a whole other story indeed because they are truly pathetic starting from smoking and extending all the way to self harm and suicide it self. Now out of everyone I know there is not a teen whom haven't tried one way or another to escape even if its only the 2 minutes while the cigarette is still lit; and, most actually thought of suicide and I can't deny am one of them- leaving a side the one whom actually attempted it, but thinking back I am glad I didn't do it because at the moment I couldn't ask for a more happy life ignoring the few downs which are of course bound to happen in the journey of life and I hope it stays this way. Well, I haven't done it not because I wasn't brave enough but it was rather an anger thought and you know they say don't make decisions when you are angry or mad. Furthermore, we should indeed accept our destinies, and by now you must be like -look who is talking- but i told you anger thoughts don't count. Nevertheless, there is always solutions to our problems and answers to our questions if we just stand up and speak, we would have been understood. For how long are we going to just run away, when we know nothing lasts forever and whether we like it or not we are going to have to face the reality because we can't hide forever either.

After all , all our fingers are not the same similarly people also aren't so our way of thinking might also differ but that does not prove that you shall go about harming your self be it by smoking, cutting or what so ever. I may not know what is going on in your life nor in your mind but there is always a way to solve it, and am sure a lot of things we are going to regret when we are older because that's when its going to payback and we are going to face the consequences of our mistakes. Our lives are precious and we shall not end them because of  a small problem we'd had or an argument with our parents because they want nothing but the best for us and we shall think of that and also not forget all the people around us whom care about us and love us and we love back what is going to be their reaction when they lose you ? wouldn't it affect their lives, wouldn't they feel sad and mad; surely they will because for a fact I know as long as they had a heart to love you with they are not heartless and have feelings.

In conclusion, we shall also remember that god forgets no one but for him to love us we should love him first and get close to him, and always pray and think of him in every step we take and every move we make.
