By self; Birthday and Bling!!

Last week was a week I will not forget for a long long time! Let me start from the beginning...

S decided to go visit India and mom decided that she would go too. And being that the other two men in my family were also in other parts of the country, I was all alone. For the first time in almost 10 years, I was in my house all by myself, left to enjoy my own company (Oh Boy!) It was more fun than I thought it would be, I came home every evening after work and just chilled! no cooking, no talking, no nothing; just sit myself on the couch with a warm cup of coffee and enjoy the silence...Bliss!

Then of course later in the evening I would get to see S and mom....thank god for Skype!!!!..(or the software programmers :))

Well, but at the end of the week I was so ready for some company! and at the right time guess who shows up? S...yipee!! so yesterday he comes back, and may I add just in time for my birthday! That was the best present ever! and on top of that he arranged for a cake ...I tell you this man sweeps me off my feet !! *swoon*

Now S is not the romantic type, at least that is what I claimed for sometime, but with the first engageversary surprise, the Valentine flowers he bought for me (and he also bought a bouquet for mom on behalf of my dad...*awww*)and now him showing up for my Birthday, it is getting more and more difficult for me to call him unromantic.

And on top of that he actually bought me a pretty pair of earrings with a little diamond in each as my present! and he picked them out too! Plus the only piece of jewelry I bought for my self (my wedding ring) came from India!...and so I am now all Bling Bling :)

So now ladies and gentlemen, I have enjoyed my time By my self, got to celebrate my Birthday with my sweetheart and now I am all binged out!

Life is freaking cool!!

Cheers!!!

Go Girl!!

Read a article in BBC today. Egyptian Women are taking up Martial arts for Self Defense, coz harassment is a huge problem. Here are some Statistics from that.



Pretty shocking huh! And guess what as the case is in a lot of times, the perverts carrying out the sexual harassment blamed the women!! In this case 53%!! Apparently the women brought it on themselves by not being "Modest". Same shit different country I guess. But the article goes on to say this:

The author of the report, Nihad Aboul-Qumsan, says too often it is the woman who is blamed for dressing provocatively.

"Most of the people we questioned said there wouldn't be such harassment if women dressed in a modest way. But when we questioned women on what they were wearing when they were abused more than 70% said they were wearing a headscarf.


Ha! but there is a note in this article that made me smile

"Our job is to give them the skills they need to protect themselves should something happen.

"One of our girls was attacked on the way home. A boy on a bus grabbed her from behind. She used a technique we had taught her to restrain him, until other people on the bus gathered around to help. He was later handed over to the police."


So Basically....... Teach every Girl to Kick some A*** and the world will be a better place!....and maybe then the perverts out there will own up to their corrupted morals, rather than blaming the girl.....coz u know blaming the girl while she is tearing you a new H**e is not the wisest thing to do!

God has been found !!

Our belief in god is varied from those who don't believe at all, to those who dedicate their life to god. God has been involved in human life from the very beginning and the fact that we have created the image of God to our likeness, just goes to show how much we want to relate to the Almighty and how we try to find Her/Him in our life and in all its wonder.

Read the following article in Time.com and wanted to share it. Its about finding God, in this case Jesus.....Its a true but funny take on the places people claim to have seen the image of Jesus

http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1884117,00.html

Jesus can be found in:
• On a grilled cheese sandwich
• On a potato chip
• On a window pane
• On a pancake
• On a piece of burnt toast
• On a tree trunk
• On a Cheeto
• On a waffle
• On a spoon
• On a frying pan
• On a cinnamon roll
• On a danish (this may be the same as the aforementioned cinnamon roll. Unclear)
• On a fish stick
• On a cat
• On a moth
• In an ultrasound (creepy)
• In some salsa
• On a grape
• In a cellphone pic
• On a turtle shell
• In a vat of spumoni ice cream
• We didn't even mention the man who's convinced that he can see the Virgin Mary in the leg wound likely suffered when he fell off his bar stool ("You can actually almost see her holding the baby Jesus").

Cheers!
