I don't know about other people, but, for me, I feel so much better when I talk about the good things that happen in my life. No matter how small they are. And I feel a thousand times worse when I talk about the bad things in my life. (No matter how small they are.)
And, in this blog post, I will be talking only about the good things that happened in the previous two weeks that I did not have the time to blog/talk about.
Warning: this blog post could be long. And fun to read. So enjoy it :D

1. My baby cousin's (Nimo–aka Muneera–) 2nd birthday!
Her actual birthday is in Sep 24th. But the birthday party was in Sep 26th.
We had loads of fun! I took a lot of photos and videos. But I always postpone making a blog post for it. My bad.
I won't post anything about it here in this post. I'll talk about it in a seperate post later on.

2. Tim Hortons!
My brother, Khalid, spent the whole summer taking an English course in Canada.
And he's always telling me that Tim Hortons' French Vanilla Coffee is the best coffee ever, that, I gathered, it's his every morning friend.
We don't have Tim Hortons here. It used to be available only in Dubai of all the Arabian Gulf cities.
It opened a few months back in The Avenues Mall in Kuwait!
So, when Khalid came back from Canada we took a visit to Kuwait and Tim Hortons with it!
And, you guys, it tastes as good as he described it! i wish they would open one here..

3. Made a small YouTube video!
It's all in the describtion box under the video. But, I'll give you a summary of why I made this video;
I was supposed to attend this "Effictive Team Work" lecture by Dr. Osama Al-Mulla but I didn't. I was hoping I could take some photos and videos of this lecture to make a video later but I didn't because I didn't attend. So, the one supervising this whole thing gave me all the videos and photos that she took and asked me to make a video. And.. voilà!

4. Kuwait
Since the Eid vacation started, we headed to Kuwait. For Eid.
And it takes us from 4-5 hours to get to Kuwait. So, I figured I would start making Nimo's birthday party video on the way there.
I started the video. I almost finished it to be honest.. But, I didn't think that it's as special as it should be. So, I thought about adding some other 'special' things to it.
And let me tell you one thing, I am a very good procrastinator. Yeah..
I still haven't finished the video. *inserts here the widest smile she could muster*
* * * * * *
5. Eid
I promised myself I won't talk about the things that bother me. So I won't.
The weird thing about this eid is that I have not taken any pictures on the first day of it. Not a single one.
So, I'll talk about the second day of it.
The first picture in this collage shows the amount of guilt that rested in my stomache that day.
Don't get me wrong. Chocolate is the best thing in the world besides books. But not when it's too much.
One bad thing about Kuwait, is that you go there and you do nothing but EAT! I mean, wth?
* * *
Loved my outfit that day. It was a casually cute one.

This sheep that is standing on grass is not just decoration. *whispers* It has chocolate in it. Kuwait, food, figures..

6. ADVENTURE!
The same day as number (5) above, my cousins and I had the funniest adventure. It isn't that big or anything. It was just real fun.
So, the thing is, the 8 of us left the house without deciding where we were actually going. We were literally the blind leading the blind. My cousin just turned 18 and is the one driving. So, you can just imagine how fun it is; 8 girls that have absolutely no idea where to go and are driving around the city. It was literally too crowded to even drive properly.
We drove around the city for TWO HOURS still not deciding what to do and where to go!
At the end, we went to a restaurant called La Marina in Sharq Mall, by the sea.
Anyway, it was the best 4 hours of fun I've had in a very long time.
And at the end of the day, all of us went to my aunt's house for a sleepover. Watched a movie, ate noodles and slept in the living room. On top of each other.
I did not take any photos (or videos) amid those few hourse. I wish I did. But I think I enjoyed my time enough to keep it in a memory without photos.

7. Breakfast and A Sea View!
The next day, we woke up (at 11:30 am. By force.) to see this good looking, delicious breakfast!
It was so good. We stayed at the table for one more hour even after finishing breakfast.
After that, my aunt promised to take us to this 'secret' place she found a month or so ago.
When she took us there, it literally took my breath away. It's very relaxing. And.. nice.
I bet it'd be the best place to go to when the weather is a bit cooler.
You can actually sit on the sand and look at the entire city. It feels amazing to look at an entire city from afar.
It's places like that that make me wish I could just drive there on my own and turn off the engine and enjoy listening to the small whispers of the waves. Just enjoy listening to the silence of it all.
One of the best daydreams I could have.
That night, after the delicious breakfast and this wonderful sea view, we went back to SA. To Home❤️

8. THE VAMPIRE DIARIES! (and work)
No matter how many TV shows I watch—(and, trust me, I watch A LOT.)—The Vampire Diaries is my number one most favorite TV show. Ever.
I started watching it from the very beginning. Season 1, episode 1. And I never miss an episode.
The first episode of season 6 came out on Oct 2nd. But I could't watch it. 'Cause we were in Kuwait. And the internet there is too horrible to even think about watching/downloading anything.
As soon as we came back, I went straight to my laptop. But, I had to finish somethings for mom. So, I chose to multi-task. Thank God for multi-tasking!
I was a very good episode. I cannot wait for this season to unravel!
Yeah, one more thing, I was actually watching the new episode and working on my baby sister's bed. I needed the charger. Good thing I could fit. Haha!

9. 'عِدّةُ الصابرين و ذَخيرةُ الشاكرين'
I have wanted to read this book for ages!
This book is so, very important to me. I have goals set for/with this book.
But I always have something stopping me from reading it.
Nonetheless, I started reading it a couple of days ago. And I can tell it's going to make a huge difference in my life!

10. Yesterday;
1) I think that 'The Lion King' is the favorite movie for 99.9% of the people to have walked this earth.
I spent my day yesterday watching it with my baby sister, Nourah.
And even though I literally know the movie word by word, I laughed and had all those feeling throughout the movie like it's the first time I ever watch it.
2) My sister and I found my youngest brother, Abdullah, washing the roof of the villa's annex!
It looked so good from my parents' window that I simply HAD to capture it!
* * * * * *
Those two weeks were one of the busiest weeks.
If you have actually read this entire blog post, then congratulations! You are officially my most favorite person on this earth and I love you! I wish I was joking. 'Cause I'm not.

I believe with all my heart in this saying:
"Happiness is the result of being too busy to be miserable."
Get busy.
And don't you ever take the little things for granted!
Be Happy!
