Escape

With the overwhelming amount of office work, school work and committee work. I'd like to switch off and be here right now. Looks heavenly to me

New Blog

I'm considering starting a new blog that I can jot down my thoughts and leave this one for image inspirations (focusing on words of wisdom and inspiring images)...I think I'll give it a show next week inshAllah. Still trying to figure out what to name it though. At first I was thinking Unconventional Mind, but then I felt the name portrayed this Emarati who is so different (which is not always a grand thing for me to be honest), it just didn't click for me.
I want it to portray someone learning to have a positive perspective towards life and people even if I will occasionally rant about an issue. I also want to post about some interesting intellectual articles from my studies (not the very academic ones though), raise awareness on some issues and promote interesting people and brands around the UAE (very rarely though I don't want to lean toward the commercial side for this blog, old or new). InshAllah khair. If you have a recommendation for a name let me know. Thank you : )

Beautiful

Switched off



Today I couldn't go to work nor to school. I just switched off mentally. Couldn't get out of bed today and didn't want to do anything. Physically and mentally tired. Decided to stay home catch up on my reading, update my blog and get on the cross trainer for an hour and a half.
I seriously needed it. I think it's because I stayed all night (last night) working and studying till 4:00am.
Hmmmm, I'm starting to wonder whether my boss hit the nail on the head when he said that I'm obsessed with work. He might be right, can't help it though. I enjoy it because I feel it's helping me develop everyday and it's something that i'm in control of , it also gives me that 'feel good' factor that I rarely feel.
Anyways I think i'll go wash my hair and resume with my reading...I miss my books and my tea mug. I haven't done that in almost a year...and i'm a book worm!!
