Wassup people? I’m slowly trying to get used to blogging again. It’s a bit hard now since it’s been such a long time since I blogged properly.
Right now I’m at home. I just got back from my psychology class. We had a guess today. She was an elderly woman who had just got pensioned.  She just talked about her life and answered some of the questions we asked her. It was quite interesting to listen to her. She seemed to have a lot of experience from life which was really cool to see. It was nice that we got to discuss things we usually never both to talk about with older people.
Anyway, I’m eating a PBJ sandwich at the moment and a glass of OJ. 😀 It’s been a while since I had a PBJ haha I’ve missed it.

A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini March 22, 2009

From www.chapters.indigo.ca :

A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan’s last thirty years—from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to post-Taliban rebuilding—that puts the violence, fear, hope, and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives—the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness—are inextricable from the history playing out around them.

I got this book as an eidi, present, three days ago. I have already finished the book. Gosh, what a heartbreaking story! I cried at one point and felt myself wanting to cry throughout the last half of the book the entire time, but I stopped myself.
The book is about two Afghan women and their struggles in life and how their lives become intertwined with each other. It’s a tragic story and I sometimes wanted to stop reading because of the horrific things that happen to these women.
I really reccomend this book two everyone. Hosseini is a great writer and I love his style. Just have a box of tissues by your side because you are going to need them…
5/5 stars!

 

 

Baby, I’m hoooome! March 19, 2009

My exams are finally over! Oh sweet freedom!!!!! I cannot even begin to tell you how happy I am that it’s finally over. I had been studying for my geography exams for about 2 months! Talk about a pain in the ass! 😉
Anyway, I am finally back! It’s gonna be greatto be able to blog again I have a bunch of new ideas for this little blog of mine so keep looking out!
It’s eid norrooz (persian new year) tomorrow so I am in a really good mood! I wish a great new year for all of those that celebrate eid norooz!

Just to start things off I’m going to say that I am so happy that we finally have gotten pictures from the Matthew Williamson collection for H&M. I cannot wait until it comes out! He happens to be one of my absolute favourite designers. Check out some of the dresses! I definitely want the short colourful dress in the middle. A must have for me!

Sorry once again March 2, 2009

I’m very sorry I haven’t updated in ages! I have been busy studying for my exams and I will be doing so for the next two and a half weeks. I doubt I will be able to update until my exams are over (March 18th) and not only because of lack of time but also because of lack of inspiration at the moment. Geography has taken over my mind and I doubt you would want to read about how much geography sucks everyday. So until then I will have to say goodbye but I will be back once it’s all over! So hold out with me for a little while because I definitely will be back! So until then, ciao!

Obs! I would like to remind you all that yesterday, March 1st, was the anniversary of my blog. I have been blogging for exactly one year now! Wooh! 🙂
