FairyBooks & Popcorn!

Bahrain, yesterday, Wednesday, December 10th,

with my 3 years younger literal twin—Khalid.

We reached the City Centre mall at 5 PM. I wanted to watch 'Interstellar' and Khalid wanted to watch 'Dumb and Dumber To'.

So, what is the natural thing to do?

Yes, that's right. Watch them both.

We saw the movies table and, as it turns out, we can only book the 5 o'clock 'Interstellar'—which has already started when we booked it—and the 9:15 'Dumb and Dumber To', because 'Interstellar' is three hours long.

I'll write two small reviews for both movies and then talk about what we—or, more accurately, I—did in the one hour in between the movies.

* * * * *

1. 'Interstellar'

It. Was. Absolutely. Amazing.

It was completely different.

Of all the space-related stories/movies that I have seen, I can safely say that this is one of the best.

Plus the perfect actors and actresses.

The way the story unfolds throughout the movie is actually very, very captivating.

And the best thing about it is that you need to open your mind to understand it as well as you should.

For more details check Interstellar - IMDb

2. 'Dumb and Dumber To'

It was really funny.. But it is not my kind of movie.

I laughed a lot during the movie but I don't know why their stupidity irritated me so much!

Hah!

It is called 'Dumb and Dumber' after all..

Nonetheless, it is a funny movie and I enjoyed watching it.

I recommend you watch the first one first though.. I bet it would be a thousand times better that way!
To see the ratings and any other information about the movie go to Dumb and Dumber 2 - IMDb

I love Virgin Megastore way more that I can actually describe..
So, in the one hour break between the two movies, we went to Virgin Megastore. Guess what I bought?

Yes. BOOKS!

I bought the ones that I always can't find in our own bookstores. Either because their out of stock or because they don't have them in the first place.

So, here's a list of the names of the books that I have bought:

1. 'Love, Rosie' by Cecelia Ahern

I really want to watch the movie. But I made a promise to myself; I wouldn't ever watch a movie before its book. So, I spent A LOT of time searching for that book in no avail. Until yesterday. Yayy!!!

2. 'Anna and the French Kiss' by Stephanie Perkins

I honestly, honestly, honestly don't know what the story is about.
Yeahh..
I bought it because I've seen way too many snapshotted paragraphs from that book. And they were all really amazing.

3. 'Eleanor & Park' by Rainbow Rowell

So many people have recommended it to me.
Even the people working in bookstores.
And I think it is an interesting story and that it would be such a shame for me not to read it.

And last, but not least;

4. 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn

The story seems very interesting. And, same as, 'Love, Rosie', there is a movie for this book that came out months ago, and I don't want to watch it until I read the book.

* * *

I just want to add this;

We saw this cap—which was the last piece—that says:

"Not only am I awesome, I'm SAUDI, too."

And I fell in love.

Yes, it was love at first sight.

But the cap was for kids.

Joke's on me. Ha ha!

One day..

* * * * *

Fairy-lights.

I love fairy-lights.

The name is enough for you to love it to be honest..

No one knows how happy they make me feel..

I tried finding them here in different stores for a very long time. And I didn't find them anywhere.
So, since christmas is on the way and we were in Bahrain, after Virgin Megastore, when there was exactly 10 minutes left for the movie to start, we went to Home Center store. There was christmas decorations EVERYWHERE. And guess what was also everywhere? Fairy-lights.

I bought two. And this is how I decorated the room with them:

* * * * *

Everything was amazing yesterday.

Even in college. (I had a presentation and it went perfectly well alhamdulillah)

It was full of accomplishments and enjoyable moments.

Those fairy-lights were literally the highlight of my day though... Nobody knows how much I'm still happy for finding them..

The song of that day was 'Blame' by Calvin Harris. And whenever I listen to it, it belongs to yesterday and yesterdays feelings along with it.

I love you, Khalid.

Thank you for being you. And thank you for an amazing day yesterday!!!

* * *

"Believe it or not, you are in control of your own life.

You are the reason why you are happy.

So don't wait for happiness.

Go out and find it.

Right now.

And don't let anybody tell you otherwise."

Dynamite & Lucy!

Today, September 16th, my brother and I went to Bahrain right after college!

We wanted to go to in the week days to avoid the crowd. And it was semi-crowded. But not even near as crowded as it is in the weekends.

Everyone's been telling me to try the Shirmps at the P.F. Chang's restaurant for a very long time. But I never really tried it.. Until today!

 

My brother ordered. So, I didn't know it was spicy. I'm not a spicy food kind of person. I do eat spicy foods from time to time, just not the really spicy stuff.

So, when I tried the first bite, I found it too spicy for my liking. But it was literally so delicious that I couldn't stop eating.

After every bite of the 'Dynamite Shrimp'—the name suits it. Of that, I am sure.—, I would take a sip of the soda.. Haha!

 

 

And then, there's this salad.

This salad tastes weird. But the good kind of weird.

It has chicken in it—(they say I could add shrimp if we wanted to)—but it's not seaser salad.

Nonethless, it tastes good. Try it when you go there some time.

 

* * * * * *

After that; CINEMA!

 

 

I wanted to watch this 'Lucy' movie for a really, really long time. And I've never had the time to do so.

But, today, I did. And, it's an absolutely incredible movie. It's worth the wait.

It's sci-fi/action genre.

The story, the producing, the ideas, the acting and everything. I have absolutely zero complains about this movie!

 

 

 

 

I will not tell you the story, so, here, watch the trailer;

 

* * * * * *

Today was one of the best days!

Always enjoy your time and be thankful for what you got.

الحمدلله رب العالمين حمداً كثيراً طيباً مباركاً فيه❤️

Praise be to Allah❤️

'In Your Eyes'

I watched a movie a couple of days ago called 'In Your Eyes'.

It's a romance/sci-fi movie.

Basically, the story is about to completely deffirent strangers. One lives in New Mexico and the other lives in the East Coast. The woman is married and has an okay life. And the guy is 'fugitive' and washes cars for living.

And the different and unique thing about this movie's story is that since they were little they see bits and pieces of what the other person is actually seeing in their eyes.

And when they grew older, it got so strong that they could literally talk to each other and see what the other person sees so clearly like they are right beside each other.

I thought about sharing the movies because it was one of the most amazing and different movies I've seen.

For those of you who will watch it, enjoy! :)
