Going Veggie

I'll be checking my life list and writing reviews on the accomplished tasks.

For now, a new item added on my life list by practicing it directly,
Going vegetarian


My friend watched this movie on how cruel animals are killed to fill our stomachs.. she cried her heart out, and decided to go vegetarian for a month. According to her calculations she will be saving at least a chicken a week..

I didn’t watch the movie yet, but I decided to go along with her in this journey. Though my perspective is different.
I'm doing this month for 3 reasons:

A) Live and experiment this life style.

B) This month of no meat no chicken might and should introduce me to new dishes that I would've never have tried if I had the option.
e.g. Sushi, the idea of eating raw fish repulse me, but this is a golden chance for new experiments.

C) See how my body would react to this change.. is it a healthier choice or will I lose my energy?


This diet exclude meat and chicken only.. Dairy products are allowed. ((a previous attempt to eliminate cheese from my diet for a week failed)).

We will be sharing new recipes and supporting tips.. its going to be hard to let go of the Shawerma..
God help us.

I'll be sharing the outcomes with you when this long month is put to an end .

Graduation season

This week 4 dear friends to me graduate.. and here is a letter to remember…



Dear my lovely graduates,,

I wish all the best in your lives.. Thanks for the lovely times we spent together.. may all ypur dreams come true.
Here are a few lines I picked from wise minds,,


"It takes most men five years to recover from a college education, and to learn that poetry is as vital to thinking as knowledge. "
~Brooks Atkinson, Once Around the Sun, 1951

-- The first part is amusing, inshAllah you'll be from the minority of men =)


"Your schooling may be over, but remember that your education still continues. "
~Author Unknown

-- Good luck with the rest of your education ;) as my mum always says: 'منّه لأعلى يا رب'


"Your families are extremely proud of you. You can't imagine the sense of relief they are experiencing. This would be a most opportune time to ask for money."
~Gary Bolding

-- as Mrs. Gray says.. try it, you never know ;D


To those of you who received honors, awards and distinctions, I say well done. And to the 'C' students, I say you too may one day be President of the United States.
- George W. Bush

-- My dear sis you have an equal chance :D


"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go. "
~Dr. Seuss

-- as good or as ugly as you see it !




With loads of love,
