Stuck in my head, M.I.A‘s Bad Girls:   Live fast, die young Bad girls do it well ***

wan·der·lust/ˈwändərˌləst/ Noun: A strong desire to travel: “a man consumed by wanderlust”. It’s the start of the year and I’ve already got the itch to pack my bags & get on a plane. The last proper trip I had was in July ’11 when I travelled the U.S. It was nice, but it was also  [ Read More ]

A couple of days ago I gifted my cousin, Hussa, a necklace and bracelet from May Jewelry. I’m a big fan of May’s work. My friend, Layla, introduced me to her designs by showing me a beautiful ring she commissioned. Since then I’ve asked May to design several pieces, including the bracelet I wear daily.  [ Read More ]

They called my father telling him that they had fixed the brakes but during their test drive the car got involved in a minor accident. They assured him that he could pick it  [ Read More ]

On New Year’s day, I met up with my friends for our annual brunch at Marina Mall. Virgin Megastore was having a 50% off sale because they are in the process of closing down the store. Initially, I wanted to get some quirky t-shirts but didn’t like any of them. Instead, I wound up purchasing  [ Read More ]

I tweeted my coworkers on Wednesday night & told them we were celebrating the last workday of 2011. Most thought it was a  [ Read More ]

During my brief trip to Dubai, Rita told me that our friend, Areej, bought herself a Blackberry. Areej was so excited over her new phone, she even bought a special cover for it that she loved to bits. Rita tried to describe the cover to me, but it was a hopeless case. She couldn’t find  [ Read More ]

Inspired by Ansam’s I *heart* Bracelets post, I took a photo of the bracelets I’m currently wearing. The bracelet on the very left is the first letter of my name, in Arabic font “ف”. The bracelet is rose gold with a pale blue sapphire. It was designed by the talented May (May Jewelry). I love her  [ Read More ]

In the first week of December, I booked a ticket for a quick getaway. I haven’t been to Dubai for a few years, so it was nice to see the city again and meet up with old friends. By sheer coincidence, I happened to be there during the 40 year National Day celebrations. I flew  [ Read More ]
