Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Joyous Kwaanzaa!
To each and everyone of you who celebrates these holidays I wish you a merry time and may all your hopes, wishes, and dreams come true!
I personally had a lovely holiday lunch on Christmas Eve (although I am a Muslim) my family just loves the amazing food that the joyous holiday brings! We had an awesome amazing spread which I feasted upon!
After that lunch I was insanely full! But you have to admit that it was absolutely DELICIOUS!
It’s Thanksgiving again, time to be thankful for many things in this world, and although this holiday is a Western Holiday I feel that I like celebrating it here at home because of one reason and one reason only. I like to celebrate Thanksgiving because we need to dedicate a day to say “Thank You” to the important people in our lives. So I think the best way to do this is to tell you all who I’m thankful for this holiday.
I’m thankful this year for my wonderful parents (who spoil me silly and make me into the gadget geek I am today) Daddy you’ve spoiled me with all the cash you threw my way when I wanted this gadget or the other and Mommy well you’re the awesome person who taught me how to be a geek without your computer knowledge I wouldn’t be the go-to person in the entire family when it comes to anything relating technology.
I’m thankful this year for my sisters (no need to describe them) for being the awesome sisters that they are and for living with my craziness all these years; each one of you dimwits is special in a way and I think you are reading this just to know how well here it is: Fee you are the one I’ve known the longest (duh you were born after me) and therefore with you I had most of my childhood adventures true we put each other in trouble but I’ll never forget the day we wanted to run away together remember we packed our bags and all; Dee you were always the sensitive bratty one the one who talked back but in the end were crazy enough and kind hearted enough to be the head of hair that we all love today, and right now u’re insanefully thin u reminded me of my old self therefore I hate u but then I love u; Neece you are a different story because although u were the baby of the family for so long and although you are infinitely smarter than I am (except when it comes to gadgets hah!) you are my neighbor, book buddy, tv show buddy, and so much more without you my Thursdays would be incomplete as would my life be; and last but not least Lujii you are the princess of this family, you were born the year I graduated from school and were supposed to replace me when I went off to college but I couldn’t stand to leave you and go I’ve watched you grow into an awesome kid and although you sing and talk alot I love you and can’t live without asking you to get me that water ever single day, I love you pumpkin! Miss you bs!
I’m also thankful for my lovely family: Auntie & her husband K, her children Issous and Toons, as well as my other uncles and cousins; not to forget the most important person in my family I am thankful for which is my lovely Grandmother (May She Live Long and See My Children *someday*).
I’m also thankful for my awesome friends, to mention them wouldn’t be enough especially since they are so many those of you I’ve met through my blog, twitter, and in real life you all mean the world to me. Thank you for being my friend *cues Golden Girls song*
Now for the light stuff:
-I’m thankful for my TV Shows and TV Men without Ian Somerhalder (The Vampire Diaries) and Matt Bomer (White Collar) my TV life would be so bland not to forget the billion others I adore and love Ed Westwick, Jim Parsons, Neil Patrick Harris, Alex O’Laughlin, Josh Duhamel, Scott Cann, and so many more I am too tired to think of them.
-I’m thankful for my Apple gadgets for they have been with me through thick and thin and give me the power to go on!
-I’m thankful for my health because apart from the tiny hiccups here and there I am blessed with a healthy body and hope to keep it that way.
-I’m thankful for all my other gadgets because they need recognition too and not to be left out.
Most of all I’m thankful for the big turkey I’ll be eating tomorrow at my Aunt’s house in celebration of this awesome day!
To everyone else ENJOY YOUR TURKEYS! And peace be upon you all!
Gobble Gobble! *burp*
A few days ago I was starving after spending the day out furniture shopping with my sister and on our way back from the Avenues we were a bit hungry and were thinking of what to have for dinner, for it her it was lunch since she didn’t have any that day. We wanted something light and being stuck on the 4th ring road we decided to take a detour into Jabriya Land and see what’s new there. I remembered that “Salad Boutique” was located in that area and off we went.
We ordered the Quesidella Salad for the parents, she got the Chicken Nacho Salad, and I got the Chicken Risotto, and we each grabbed a mini burger to try.
Unfortunately no pictures are available but I don’t think that I would recommend grabbing food from a salad place simply because the risotto wasn’t nice at all, the chicken in it tasted weird and the rice itself was freaky. The salads however were awesome I liked the Chicken Nacho Salad since it was huge and I ended up sharing with my sister. I just don’t like the way they cook their chicken. Oh and the Quesidella salad was nice too.
So if you’re in the mood for a salad then get that from Salad Boutique otherwise just steer clear of the risotto and the burgers since they tasted normal nothing so special about them.

And how was your first day of the year?
Mine was pretty wonderful, I spent it outside with family and friends (well not mine but they are close family friends). As we all established a while back my two sisters Fee and Your Battlefield are back in Kuwait for Winter break and well they will leave soon, anyways so since today I’m not working I got a chance to spend most of it with them. YBF wanted to meet up with a high school friend, so I told the rest of the siblings to invite a friend and we’d go to Chocolate Bar and enjoy the first day of the year.
So, Sister #4 invited her friend who happened to be the sister of Fee’s friend, and also the sister of Lulu’s friend (my younger sister). So that entire family came along and Your Battlefield’s friend too, however they wanted to eat at Chilis while we wanted Chocolate!!! Mother decided last minute to join us, and so did father, however due to them not wanting some chocolate, I urged them to go have their anniversary dinner that they never had in Chilis.
So surrounded by laughter, good food, great weather, the year began beautifully for me. It was also my Grandmother’s birthday and therefore at the stroke of midnight I had called her to wish her a Happy Birthday and as usual our chats lasted a short while. I’m liking the beginning of the year already. I hope it maintains a nice steady cheerful attitude and does not screw me up :)

Actually Merry Christmas and all that jazz hehe :)
My lovely sisters (yeah right) are back right now hehe and I’ve been pushed and pulled all over the place whether it’s from work or from wanting to spend time with them, I need some sleeping time which I can’t find.
Yesterday we had a Holiday’s dinner (not that we celebrate any of them religiously or anything) at my Aunt’s house and it was just a way of getting together and feeding ourselves before she leaves on a short vacation with her family. My Uncle-in-law made the greatest turkey and my aunt made the most awesome vegetables, pasta, gravy, mashed potatoes, and so so so much more. I’m sad that I didn’t take a picture of it all before we ate but then again I was starving myself all day for it.
It’s a good thing I got to take home some left-overs yaay!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and Happy Holidays
P.S. 2008 is almost OUT the door, YAAY! Let’s hope things flow smoothly these last few days.
I tried to not double post like this but at some point in my day I feel not that well and not that inspired to write so I will try and make this my last time to double post but I can’t promise you that.
Monday the 14th of July was our 9th day in Cleveland, it’s been hectic really simply because immediately when we got there we were sent to the hospital, dad had his surgery, and now we’re just waiting until he recovers. So quick it’s scary, it’s like I didn’t even have time to unwind yet or even deal with my jetlag. So the reason I didn’t post much was because I didn’t do much those two days, on Monday I spent a high majority of my day with Daddy and my sister and we left quite late from the hospital, also the reason why I don’t have much pictures for you guys. We were thinking of getting some microwaveable dinners but instead we decided to try Cedarland at the Clinic, which is a Lebanese restaurant. I really liked it, having my kabab’s without feeling deprived of some nice Arabic food. The store is run by Arabs and it was awesome meeting the owner I believe who comes and asks us what we’d like. Kind of reminded me of those Italian mobster movies, well not mobster but where a family owns the restaurant and no matter how rich they can get they still can be waiters for their own customers. I had the Kabab’s of course, sorry no menu picture today, and my sister had the Cedar platter which had Baba Ghanouj, Hummus, Kebbeh, Grape Leaves, Tabbouleh, and a sort of Meat Pie. It was delicious. Later on it was hotel time, watching Noor & off to bed.
After our last adventure at the hospital, where both my sister and I fainted we ventured again to see our dad, however this time he was out of the ICU and into a room. He had most of the tubes out except for his Chest Tube but I tried not to see it, it’s overwhelming and I just can’t handle seeing it or seeing his incision, I glimpsed at it but I couldn’t just see it, I just can’t. So anyways we headed to the hospital in the morning after having a good night’s sleep and having breakfast at the hotel, and saw my dad. He was doing much better, he could speak a bit more this time, although we told him not to. We spent a few hours with him, and then at around 2pm we headed out.
It was Friday the 11th of July! iPhone 3G Day! So I convinced my sister that we should go to Legacy Village, where they had an Apple Store to check it out, and while we were there to have lunch at The Cheese Cake Factory, which is what happened.
We called, Dell the Taxi driver to take us there and on the way I saw the most amazing scenary, I am going to try and not write much just give you the pictures that will explain it all.
July 10th, the day after the surgery was done. We were able to visit our dad in the ICU and see him since he had woken up from the surgery and was asking about us. Little did we know that we wouldn’t be able to tolerate it much. The ICU was a warm place, meant to be that way to let the patients recover nicely from the operation. So as we were standing there visiting, I guess the intensity of seeing all those wires connected to our Dad and everything we felt a little uneasy, I first started feeling a difficulty breathing and standing up, I started to put my handbag right in front of me to push on my heart a bit and stop it’s racing or the clamped up feeling inside. I couldn’t handle it so I said my Goodbye’s to Dad and told him he was doing great, he of course couldn’t talk much it hurt to talk. And told my sister I was going to wait for her outside.
At that point I wasn’t feeling well at all, I started seeing white spots surrounded by blackness so I rushed outside quickly and sat on the floor outside the ICU Unit. Closed my eyes a bit and fainted just for a few seconds. While waiting for things to get back to normal I was also waiting for my sister, but she still hasn’t come out, and I was hearing a “Code Blue” in the ICU, with Doctors and medics rushing in. Little did I know that it was my sister who blacked out right there on the floor.
Sadly enough Dad saw this but I assured him we were fine, she woke up shortly and we went to the ER to get her checked out. Luckily it was just her blood pressure dropping but other than that things were good with her. We headed back upstairs to let Dad make sure we’re fine and not worry about us and then we left him to go have something to eat since not only were we dehydrated but hungry as well.
I think I will stick to naming the posts as I am doing right now since it’s much easier to track and simpler than trying to find something creative or relative to the post right? Anyways so the 7th of July was our second day in Cleveland and was the day my dad had his appointment with the Dr in Cleveland Clinic, one of the best hospitals in the US for Heart Problems.
We were all jet lagged, me mostly since I slept very early the afternoon before and woke up at around 3:30am and stayed awake all day, well for the most part of it. So preparing ourselves to go out wasn’t that difficult, we got ready and headed downstairs to wait for the Shuttle Buses that would take us to the International Registration Center. There we met with our advisors and got the instructions we had to follow, such as opening a bank account, meeting our translator, going to get the tests done.
