Hello everybody!
I know it’s been exactly a month since the last time I posted, but I really needed a break. Many things happened and I promise to cover them all. There hasn’t been a day to not think of you all (the ones I used to communicate with, of course) and my blog.
I don’t want to give too many details yet, but hey.. I’m back!
I hope you’re all fine because I could say that I am! God bless..
Mum told me that tomorrow’s Ramadan and I want to wish everyone a Happy Ramadan.
This is the first time I am away from Kuwait during Ramadan, or at least, it’s the first time I’m spending many days away.. I wish I could be there, but oh well, I guess my new life starts here. I don’t know what will happen, but I know something for sure, I will never forget Kuwait. I love that place and it’s like home. I grew up between those people there.. I know each and every street, whether it’s a main road or a small one. I simply know everything.. culture.. tradition.. everything. Oh and I’m proud of it. I mean, come on, who doesn’t want to know new things? Who doesn’t want to live in a new place?
Because I will never forget my time spent in Kuwait, I want to be one of the people who will wish you Ramadan Kareem. May all your wishes come true and may God give you all you want!
“(It was) the month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’aan, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Sawm (fasts) that month…”

This weekend has been a very hot one with temperature up to 38 degrees (yes, that is a lot here!) However, today there were 41 degrees Celsius, which was kind of whoa. I had to walk from my friends place until the place where I took the taxi to go to dad’s place and I must say that it is a bit of a long way. I stopped about three times, to buy water and the last time to eat an ice-cream. On my way I saw 5 ambulances. There’s a problem here with old people, or pregnant women fainting because of the heat. The whole afternoon was humid and so hot.. it was horrible.
But guess what?
Now it’s raining. And it’s not a normal storm. There is lightening everywhere and it’s scary because it is so close. You see the sky randomly lightening.. God! I bet it’s gonna be a big thunderstorm.. and it is officially raining. How am I gonna sleep tonight? If only I could take pictures, but I am too scared to look outside.
Conclusion: Yes, the weather in Romania is PMS’ing too. Bless!
“People say you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.
The truth is, you knew exactly what you had; you just thought you’d never lose it. The truth is that the best things in life are the things we notice least. The truth is that you always hurt the ones you love.
We never notice the person who’s done a good job quietly for years, but we notice the one day they don’t. We don’t notice the person quietly carrying the burdens of the world on their back, but we notice when they complain about it in a moment of weakness. And we definitely don’t notice the person making sure everything runs smoothly, too busy to talk about it or take praise for it, until one little piece of debris gets past them in the juggling act and we get irritated.
Like air, it’s probably the most important thing in the world, do you notice and appreciate it?”
“There is ample time for you to be who you want to be. Don’t allow yourself to settle for less than what you think you deserve. Despite the struggles that you might be facing, never let go or give up; put God in the most and exercise faith in him.”
This is connected to a post I’ve written before about the famous ‘I can’t.’
If you truly want something, then go get it! Do something about it. Success wont just fall down on you. You have to wok or it. Sometimes harder than other times but it is worth it. You will eventually get what you want.. what you deserve.
I want to start by apologising for not posting anything today morning, but I went to school for 2 continuous hours of History A2. Yay! Great one! We got through so much information and I’m rather proud of myself.
Although I didn’t sleep too well last night, I’m happy for being able to concentrate today. The good thing about about me and I’m not just blabbering, it’s that I can easily put boundaries between studying and ‘private’ life, which includes sleeping, sickness, arguments with people and so on.
I’m exhausted. I’m so tired, but I’ll study for a bit, feed my sister (yes, since the maid ran away, I do some of the things she used to do), I’ll eat myself and nap. Ah. Can’t wait!
“If you want to get over a problem, stop talking about it. Your mind affects your mouth and your mouth affects your mind. It’s difficult to stop talking about a situation until you stop thinking about it.”
– Joyce Meyer
I often think about things for far too long. I know it’s a human thing to over think, but it’s not cool at all. I hate it. It gets me so into the situation that I can’t concentrate on other things too. Therefore, I have some things to learn from this quote too. To not think or talk about things. Only like this you will get over a problem.
God bless!
“This is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don’t expect to get anything back, don’t expect recognition for your efforts, don’t expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability, or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is, no longer fits in your life. Close the door. Change the record. Clean the house. Get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are.”
– Paulo Coelho
I take this opportunity to say how much I admire this writer. It hasn’t been long since I ‘discovered’ him. As a matter of fact, it’s been too little, about two years. It all started with a moment of boredom when I started searching between my mum’s books and found The Alchemist. What a great book! That is how I discovered Mr. Coelho. I was thrilled. It was full of magic. I read the whole book in less than a day and I can swear that I’ve lived each new thing as if I was part of the story. I’ve also followed him on Twitter on the same day and since then, I take his tweets to my heart and I look at them as life lessons.
I can’t say that I’m a fan. No. I doubt I’m a fan of anyone or anything, but I really appreciate and respect him. And I would love it if he could read what I have to say about him, because it comes from my heart. There may be people who would go so crazy just to get his attention, but I will not. If he has the time to view this post (and why not others too) I would be honoured.
Talking about the quote, it goes to anyone who wants change. To change himself/herself. Or who wants change from around them. Unless you do it yourself, step by step, you will not achieve it. Unless you do it yourself, fully, letting go of your past and erasing the negative moments, you will not achieve it. It’s all about you. And you can do it!
Keep it up the good work Mr. Paulo Coelho. Bring us even more happiness and magic! 🙂
I feel useless. Not in a romantic way though. Because I haven’t been going to school and also because my last exams are in the mid of June, I haven’t been doing much. I haven’t been studying. I haven’t been reading as much. When I had my exams, I did it. But now I’m having a two days (today’s the last one) break.
What to do when you feel that way? Well, I’ve been helping my mother along with other things too. I’ve been helping her clean, or I’d babysit my sister not just for the sake of babysitting but because I want to create a tighter connection with her before I leave, which is soon.
I’ve also been downloading books. Books which will be ALL read this summer. I won’t say however what books I’ve downloaded, but I promise you that I will dedicate a special post for that. What I must say that they’re not books which people my age read. I think I’ve made it clear from before that I’m different. Very. And it’s not me saying it, it’s my actions showing it.
What to do when you feel useless? Do something productive. I know these two things may be the exact opposite, but it’s true. And this goes to everything. When you’re sad and you want to not feel that way anymore, you then change the way you’re thinking and become happy. May be easier to say than to do but once you practice enough, you’ll become an expert.
Read. Write. Help your family. Be creative. Do anything! Just do it!
“Stop and make sure that everything you’re doing right now is really what makes you happy. You can’t just live for some goal in the future and have that be everything or have that be it. What of you get there and get exactly what you want, except all the things that are wrong are still wrong? If you want guarantees in you life, then you don’t want life. You want rehearsals for a script that’s already been written. Stop wasting life.”
Sounds like something dad told me a couple of weeks back.. “if you want guarantees in your life, then you don’t want life.”
It’s true. Think carefully. Is that what you truly want? Is that what you want no matter what? If yes, go for it. But think twice.
