A summary of a wonderful week. :)

I am back from my 5-day long stay at my grandma's house and finally I am updating my blog. I had such an awfully wonderful week that I am certain that my words would not be enough to describe it. Counting from last Sunday, each day has been a delight; and now a beautiful fragment of my memory! :)

Last Sunday I went to my cousin's place and had such an amazing time there. I gobbled on every last bit of brownies left in the tray. I ate the tastiest of baked potatoes and watched a Beyonce Knowles film late at night. And slept like a baby in my cousin's room with a night light on! (oops, did I just write that! :P) I 'youtubed' like crazy and laughed my head off with my cousin. I truly had the most fantastic stay.

Then on Monday, I came back home gathered my stuff and went to stay at my grandma's house. All my maternal cousin are over there; 'cos here in Pakistan we have a joint-family system. All my maternal uncles and aunts live in one big house.

I stayed there for five days and now I am finally back home. I did the most craziest things over there. I went for shopping twice. Once in a rickshaw(public transport) and ate a shawarma in a rickshaw which was moving with the speed of light. My soft drink and ketchup dripped all over my clothes. Travelling in such a fast moving rickshaw was seriously a near-death experience I later exclaimed while telling my friends. It was bonkers fun after all! :D

The other shopping trip was to a local bargain-bazaar (shopping area) and my maternal aunt (I posted her interview) and (youngest) uncle are like champions in bargain shopping! Like seriously. I got two pairs of sneakers and one flip flop for 4$. I mean that is super super cheap. All I had to do was point out the pair of shoes I liked. The rest was up to them. I love them! :)

Other than that I ate so much while I was there. I ate kulfi (Eastern ice cream), had lassi (a blended yogurt and sugar mixture), had an eastern style burger and samoosas. Bottom-line: Ate A LOT!

And now, I sit here in front of my computer screen, happy and loving my life. A LOT! And yeah, I am really thankful to Allah for surrounding me with people who care so much about me. How would I have lived otherwise?

I am gonna wrap up this post by expressing my utmost gratitude for Ayak, who just gave me such a special award. It's for young bloggers, teenagers like me! :D Well..teenage... I am glad I write about mine on this blog!

Maybe one day when I am old and all weary I will open up this blog and read about my idiocies and my immature thoughts. With my life in front of me, I'll have no regrets or fears! :) InshAllah! :)

Here is the award:

Thanks a lot Ayak! :)

Till next time,

Tata :)

6 September 2009

So my blogger friend Mel, just gave me another blogger award! WOW! When I first started blogging I never knew I was ever gonna get 4 awards within three months...Its simply amazimg and for that I would like to thank all those who stop by my blog and take time to read my overly-thought musings!!

Now this award is called the splash award and is given to blogs which are succesful in alluring, amusing, bewitching, impressive, and inspiring the readers! I never thought that all these wonderful adjectives would ever be used for my blog all at once but my friend Mel has made that possible! I am sooo glad that I found her!

So the rules for this award are pretty simple, all we have to do is:

-Put the logo on your blog/post.

-Nominate up to 9 blogs which allure, amuse, bewitch, impress or inspire you.

-Let them know that they have been splashed by commenting on their blog.

-Remember to link to the person from whom you received your Splash Award.

So I would like to splash:

-Belle from UK

-Tania at larger family life

-Clare at The lilac grove

-Nadia at Bakefresh

-Mama Mel at Mama Mel loves

-Jannete at Jannete's projects!

-Summer at le Musings of moi

-Mary at the Design Gal

-Shelly at That girl blogs

Apart from this I had one of the best Saturdays ever yesterday!! It could not have been better! Ayesha and Farwa were over at my place for a combined study session, but studying was not the only thing we did, if that isn't already obvious considering that there was three of us, we are 16 and we go to a high school full of drama! Soo we talked like heel! Discussed each and everything that was bothering us! From the stuoid Mr.T in our class to the girls in my class and (Duh) the very popular 'gothic inside' guy! Farwa believes that he isn't gothic or anything he just wants to 'be different from the norm'! And to prove that he goes an extra mile! Other than that he is like all the other stupid mindless guys in our class! He runs after popularity and really likes girls going all around him like bees over honey! HUH, why didn't I think of that? But Farwa does agree with this with Ayesha and me: 'The guy is messed up in the head'!

We also discussed why the heck Mr.T behaved like that with me (read older post). Conclusion: 'Mr.T doesn't like the fact that we; Ayesha, Farwa and me talk to lot of guys in the class except for him! Which means he is kinda desperate to talk to us! But sorry to say Mr.T none of us likes you!

We also checked out pictures of some of the guys in our class and laughed on them like hell! Now I know this is a bad thing to do, but we can have a little fun can't we? I am glad that people from my grade don't know about my blog or I would be dead right now!

I have to go..help out mom with the food for the guests! Toodles!

Another Award..from the girl who is unfimiliar with boredom!

8 August 2009

So let me just update you on my day before I get all award-y! Today we had this get together at our family, for my paternal cousin who recently got married! So I had a lot of fun, viewed some old family photo albums and laughed a lot! The past is always FUNNY!

Okay so here goes: (again!)

The rules are very simple:

1. Write a few lines on how happy you are.
2. Write down who all tagged you for this award and who they are.
3. Write down how many people you want to give this award and who they are.

Here is the award!

Now let's begin with how happy I am!

If I have to put this into words as to how happy I am, I will say that my happiness is just like the sky! It is vast, sometimes it gets covered with dark clouds but most of the times it is covered in sunshine!

I would like to thank the totally fabulus chiq Sue, for tagging me in this award!!! I am sooo thankful to her for finding my blog to be cool enough!

I would like to pass this award to:

Alicia

Mathew Harrison

The read head riter

Thanks again, Sue!

My first ever award...*OMG*..Thanks Mel!

So finally, after envying a billion of bloggers whose sidebars were filled with awards, I finally have an award to display!!! *sooo elated* I feel like jumping around, but actually I sooo totally can't because if I do that then I would waste my time and won't be able to make this post as my dad is about to come home and take away the internet from me!!! So here are the rules, we have to give in 5 things we are addicted to, and then pass it to people who deserve it!




Okay so here goes:

Five things I am addicted to:

1. My mom: I can not live without my mom AT ALL! I just need to have her with me all the, anytime I feel like talking or anything that whooshes into my mind suddenly, I need to have my mom to tell her! Without her, life would be difficult!

2. The internet: Okay so here is what I believe: Air, Water, Food, Internet! Without the internet I just feel as if I am missing something, all the time my thoughts are like: "Maybe somebody posted on my wall" "I wonder if she'll be online" "Maybe somebody commented on my post!!" My brother says that the internet is my drug!

3.T.V: After internet, I'll certainly have to say that I am totally addicted to TV!! I love flipping through the channel, watching movies and latest song videos and interviews!! And sometimes even news!!! (yeah, it is boring but what can I do to resist the charm in current affairs???)

4. Talking: So I have to say that I talk a lot! If you already don't have an idea just scroll through my blog! See the lengthy posts? I just don't like missing anything! I value details and you know when ladies go into details, it's difficult to pull them out!

5. Shopping and Fashion: In a way I believe that both of them are related! If you are into fashion then you are into shopping as well (DUH)! I absolutely love to shop till I drop, if I miss something fabulous on the store I feel bad for it for ages after! I love shopping for shoes, clothes, books and everything else that relates to my interests!I am into style and I believe that your personal style is who you are! I love to shop for books as I am an avid reader, though I am not addicted to them! (You see, I talk a lot!)

Here are the five people I would like to pass the award to:

-Nadia from Bakefresh, dexterous with baking stuff
-Sugar spice and all hair nice, love that blog!
-Shelly who has a fabulous blog! I envy her comments and visitors!
-Sarah Rehman, a fabulous writer, wonderful blog!
-Joanne from I see the bridge, such a talented poet!
