Lovecraft

          So I love washed out photos (I'm not sure what the technical term for it is, but that's what it looks to me). Whatever the subject is, it doesn't matter. Plus Emily Soto's photography  is the icing on the two-storey cake. The last picture is my favourite. Leila's eyes are absolutely mesmerising.  A poor boy dropped his jaw on the ground as she floated by him and the thud was loud enough to caught her attention. The she-wolf sets her sights on her prey. She feels like toying with him. She beckons him on with just the power of her glare sending chills through his body, When she lifts the corner of her lips into a smile and bats her eyelashes at him and all the poor boy can do is surrender to his knees and melt on his spot like a popsicle stick that got a little too much sun. . . That's where her eyes took me anyhow.

All Flowers Bend Towards The Sun

           Snake print and leopard print on a dress always has the power to make me uber-self conscious. Somehow though when it's in the form of pants and awesome jackets with a-shoes-optional shoot, it's clever. Instead of attempting to make sense of the ways Umafay, I'd rather drool over the Kirsi's awesomely awesome eyebrows

Settle Down Tiger

          So I've been busy.. I hardly had time to do anything at all. I was running from one doctor to the next for the past two weeks, is it now? It was hectic and crazy. Apparently I am a very unhealthy person who needs major help. HELP!

         
          So it was Eid today which we spent sleeping in the car every chance we got as we bounced from one party to the next. So I officially love brown people food. We went to this open buffet party (notice main attraction: open buffet) that was hosted by a brown family. The host when we first arrived at the door greeted us by saying "Welcome to our Brown Family" which I thought was hilarious. Then I randomly ran into an old school chum of mine after that. That would be the fourth so far in the city. What are the chances? Is this city small or is it just me just used to the hectic life in Cairo? I can't decide really.


          Anyways I've made the biggest decision of my life. I'm not going back to Egypt. I'm staying here in Edmonton and moving out of my parents' house. I feel like this is the best decision for me at the moment. I outgrew my dependency on my parents really. It's about time I'd say. I'm really ready for this. I've got a go-go mentality. Pray it sticks around eh? It's still just a mentality for me and now the action required will be postponed till I find the means to hehe.


          First I gotta get settled, get off my behind, look for a job and then plan on moving out. Also I'm currently looking into unis and where my education in Egypt stands. It doesn't look good at the moment but I got my fingers crossed and hopes up :)
