I Am Just a Woman

I am Just a woman,
nothing special,
nothing exciting,
nothing that stands out.

I am Just a woman,
with a fragile soul,
with a breakable heart,
with an uncertain mind

I am Just a woman,
with a bulbous nose,
round face,
pudgy body,
and short legs.


I am Just a woman,
who still waits for true love to come,
but knows it never will.


I am Just a woman,
who wants to close her heart,
but can't.....

Cuz I am a woman.

All the Single Ladies...All the Single Ladies

VALENTINES DAY....The most vile, wretched consumer ridden holiday is coming up.

Me being the ever so pessimistic and cynical, find this particular day absolutely draining and unworthy of my time. First of all, I don't believe in Valentine's Day. Why is it everyone is so caught by this day is beyond me. A particular day has been chosen so that people can get all stressed out about what to get for their significant other. Don't they realize that this particular holiday has been over advertised and the idea of it has been used to manipulate the public to BUY BUY BUY!!!!


I know that there are those out there who take pride in this particular day to celebrate their love for each other. I don't know...don't you think just because of a holiday, you need to celebrate your love on that day itself? Why not you celebrate your love everyday?

*pauses*

I think you have guessed that I'm a single lady who is basically cynical to a point of obnoxious, who hates this "LOVE" day. Maybe I've taken too many of the BITTER PILL, but I just had to rant out.Valentine's Day is very hard for us singles or in harsher terms "spinsters".
I don't celebrate it even when I had a boyfriend ( yes...I once had a bf eons ago....). I just think its a ridiculous idea. But I think its harder when people start asking..... "What are you gonna do for Valentine's?" or "Anyone special you're gonna celebrate it with?".....STOP ASKING!!!!!!!
Anyways....trying my best to survive this holiday, I found this article that made me a whole much better......

To all my Single Ladies.....this is for you.

Dear strangely single girlfriends,

I’ve been wanting to write you girls for a long time, but I needed to come to terms with myself first. I mean we are not spring chickens but rather we are attractive, independent, successful and capable ladies who happen to be single and let me say here, who deserve accolades for still remaining single on our own terms.

Compromise is obviously not a word we believe in when it comes to relationships. What’s the name of that Phil Collins song( I think so anyway, my memory is dim) …”it’s not a compromise or ….”. Forget that song . Love is about mutual giving and loving that ’s what we ‘re really holding out for, do correct me if I am wrong of course.

We must congratulate ourselves for not having made the folly of jumping into a relationship and having to compromise. Like hmm, let me see, I don’t know, maybe our ideals, our dream man, our independence and so many more reasons, simply to comply with social expectations and during our moments of weakness (oh boy , do we have some eh , girlfriends).

Instead we have held steadfast to our convictions, because even when most of us singles yearn to find true love, we are not without choice. But really in the face of choices, we have unconsciously made decisions that eliminates for the moment ,coupledom, because we are true to ourselves thereby prolonging the single status and saying nay to compromise.

So be that as it may , we are strangely single not because we have no choice or that we are flatfooted or triple nostril-ed ,attractive in some continents I believe, but because we have certitude and self love (according to Neale Donald Walsh in his book “Conversations With God, self love is defined as an all encompassing and accepting love which is neither narcissistic nor selfish” . Although our decisions may be unconscious and comes from our true self but because as often as we are derided by society for our singlehood (people really think it strange we should be single), we also , now deny this as you may, also self deprecate our social state and lose focus.

I know we do not proclaim against marriage or relationships , and yes , whilst there are moments when we would have liked someone to love us and stroke our hair tenderly or wash our cars happily, we do not for one minute envy the attached and married ones. We wish you in fact , all the very best.

You see, with prolonged singledom, we have expanded wisdom and self love. We know that behind every smile is probably a tear or two. Behind every tender stroke could have been a moment of compromise, and we hope that, in the strangely single land when we finally leave it , it is with calmness, maturity , bigness of heart and soul such that the love is all consuming and nothing is a compromise. We would have met the man or woman who is our true soulmate , who may be different from us in every way but because what we love are the differences , maybe the smelly feet , not so funny jokes and quirkiness but it isn’t a compromise.We can truly embrace the saying , it is not how much you love the perfection but it is in loving the imperfection that spells true love .

So to all my strangely single girlfriends who may be dreading and putting up a brave front for the impending Valentine’s Day this year and every year , be brave and know that you are on the true path of self discovery.Valentines always brings out the uglies for the singles and this year , let’s celebrate self love and singledom instead of the lack of couplehood. Let’s celebrate Singles Awareness Day instead! Let’s not let one day define who we truly are. Are we lesser of a person if we stay at home and watch TV , by ourselves? Gosh I hope not, because there are always so many romantic adventures on that idiot box…..

I'm Baaaccccckkkkkk

I'm am the epitome for laziness. Its been months (again ) that I haven't posted anything up but as usual...life got in the way.

Anyways...I would like to wish you a Happy New Year.
Its 2009 already and I'm getting excited and scared. Basically whatever emotion you can possibly think of..I'm feeling it now.

Last year was just a rollercoaster ride. There were breakups, ending of friendships, spontaneous outings, deaths, births, and the usual heartbreak. C'est la vie, no.....?

And as usual, sooner or later people make new resolutions for the new year. And I am one of them. Maybe I should be like my friend, Prita. She said her resolution is "to make no resolutions." Hmm..maybe that is a good idea.
But i think i will make resolutions but I am not calling it that. I'm gonna say it "my 2009 missions. "

Ok...I'm being abit to lazy right now to post what they are but hopefully I'll be able to post my mission next time.

Again,


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

Till then.

XoXo Peace

Help me find some Moolahs......................

..............So i can get these:















1- Sony Ericsson W960i

Why? First of all, I am a loyal Sony Ericsson user and I believe in their phones. They are user friendly, functional and last pretty long. I like this particular model because of its storage capacity which is 8gb. It also has the "Walkman 3.0 Touch player - best music player on a phone EVER" according to Mobile88.com and I have tried it and I have to agree. So basically, when I saw the phone at the shop, I was really impressed. When I held it, it kinda have this Blackberry feel to it. But one thing that is breaking my heart is the price. RM 1999.00. *cries* Man!!!!! How now??? I guess I have to wait for it unless I win the lottery or something. Haish!!!!

2- DSC-W170 W Series

Why? I went to Courts Superstore the other day and I manage to try pretty much every camera in the shop but nothing held my attention long enough like this camera. At first I wanted another camera but this one....gosh...it took a lot of nice pics and I was impressed on the price. Not too expensive. RM 1199.00. Ok what???


Man....now I gotta figure out how to get these items w/o doing something stupid. Work..yes but it will take me forever to get these items!!!!!

Think Alia...Think Alia......


Till next time...toodles!!!

If I was Rich....

Have you ever muttered these 4 words? Don't Lie...I bet you all have, right? Even the well-off ones have muttered this sentence. Now...why is it? Are we not just satisfied with what we have? Well obviously, duh.....But seriously, why?

I personally like saying these words cuz I enjoy pondering what my life would have been like if I was rich. I do know that money does not bring you happiness. But having a butt-loads of cash is just plain fun. And sometimes I do think it does bring happiness to people. Imagine being able to do a lot of things you love. ooooo...To be Scrooge McDuck for a lifetime...now that is just lovely. Why I refer to Scrooge McDuck is because I find it amusing how he can just dive into his vault filled gold as if he was swimming. Now that is just crazy but comically fun.


Let me just fill you guys in if I was rich I would...

1) Travel: I think everyone has this on their list, right? Places I would love to visit someday is
-Capri, Italy,
-Santorini, Greece
- New York City
- Bermuda
- Japan
- Dubai
- Mecca, Saudi Arabia
- Egypt
- Morroco
-Brazil
- Spain

And many more...I will post up about these places in upcoming post cuz for me to just say it does not do justice when I tell you the reasons why I wanna go there. : D

2) Investments: You guys will probably look at me with a really puzzling face. Yes..I don't look like someone who will invest in something big unless its a Chanel bag. LOL. Seriously, I would love to make big investments and mostly it will go to properties. My friend, Syura and I was discussing about this the other day and how it is important to do property investments. I would love to buy properties in places mentioned in my travel wish list. Now that will be awesome!!!

3) Buy a Ginormous House near a beach

4) Shopping: Obviously!!! I'm not so into brands but if I was rich..I will go on a crazy shopping spree. You girls feel me right??

5) Cars: I am not a car aficionado but who wouldn't want to buy a kick-ass car. The other day I saw this picture of Aston Martin Vanquish S front and I was like "Come to Mama.." hehehe.
Come on..just look at this beauty....


My brother says I won't look good in it but whatever man. I want one!!!!

6) Jet Plane: Its a crazy idea but wouldn't it be nice to have your own plane and travel as you wish. Lovely!!!


There are many things I would love to do if I was rich but these 6 are my main priorities.

What would do if you were rich???
Something to ponder huh??

Till the next post.....XoXo

One Random Day Out

Its a Saturday and I woke up thinking that today I will do nothing. Maybe some chores here and there but pretty much nothing interesting.

As I was reading the Star newspaper, I came across this little article on what to do on a Saturday (I think its in the Metro section). And in the corner of the page was an article about FREE DANCING WORKSHOPS. I was intrigued. They offered free teachings on Flamenco, Salsa, Belly Dancing, Capoeira and many more. I always wanted to learn Belly Dancing and I've already bought that shimmy skirt thingy eons ago so I thought.."Why not?" I've got nothing to do and maybe I can get a little bit of exercise for today.

And so I packed up some stuff and headed to the studio situated in Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, KL.
The workshop started at 11am but I came around 3pm and I came just in the nick of time cuz the Belly Dancing class was about to start. I was the only one who brought her shimmy skirt so I was very "bangga" with myself when the instructor, Nancy, was very pleased with me for bringing it. LOL. Anyways, since it was just an intro class, she just taught the basic and different Belly Dancing technique out there (and there is quite a number..). And boy I felt really sexy.LOL. And the hip movements and shimming around was not easy. Since I went alone, I pretty much had to rely on myself to follow the instructor. Some of the other participant brought someone with them and they tend to rely on their friend for help in the steps. I must say it was sooooooo liberating. I just shimmied around with no care in the world. After the class ended, I continued to stay to see other type of dances. Basically, I participated in Capoeira, Flamenco and Latin Aerobics. Capoeira was the hardest one. If you have the stamina and able to carry your body, you should join this. Its interesting but not my thing. My fav. was Latin Aerobics. The instructor, Stephan was so energetic and he mentioned that he combines all type of Latin moves. Another moment I felt sexy..haha.

I must say, after leaving the studio, I was very happy with myself. You know when you have nothing to do and feel bored and you continue to do nothing for the rest of your day and you just sulk. Today, I can proudly tell myself at least I did something and which is so random.
I told myself this, " You are bored cuz you're boring". Tell yourself this and you may somehow find yourself doing something absolutely random. Try it dudes and dudettes. You may suprise yourself.

Till the next whine, toodles.

Note: The studio I went to was called Havana Estudio. The owner is Sharie (very nice lady). You can visit their website at www.havanaestudio.com and check out other classses you may want to participate.

Just a little side note

Dearies...

I would like to thank to those who have stopped by my blog and maybe have some little interest in this little thing of mine. Do say hi at my cbox (see side box) or drop me a comment so we can exchange views or whatever.

Don't be shy. I won't bite. : D

Kini Tiba Masanya...berHari Raya

Hi peeps....

Its been more than a week that the Muslims welcomed the month of Syawal and where we celebrate Eid Mubarrak. Usually the Muslims are going all out with preparation before the special day and my family ain't any different. My mom will make her absolutely 'sedap' (tasty) chicken rendang, ketupat, and kuah kacang with peparu *salivates*..

This year celebration is different though. We have a new member in our family, my brother-in-law, Abg. Rizal. Now this fellow, he told us that he never had the proper Eid celebration where usually ppl will 'balik kampung' and where family members will ask for forgiveness and all that shazam. So he told us, he never done all that and this is the very first time doing all the typical preparation and traditional customs. Lets just say he was quite 'jakun' (overly excited). *its okay Abg. Rizal..now u are part of the Najri Clan..u will realize we have a lot of dumb traditions : P*

Another thing that was different was, since my grandma is staying with us for a while, my mom's sibs came to celebrate at our house so our house was very 'meriah'. Even the night before, we were playing fireworks like little over eager kids. Hehehe....Just check out the pics below

Before you check out the pics, let me recommend something to you all. If you ever try to purchase illegal firecrackers or whatever shiznits...I recommend the "KLCC". Just ask the seller why. (no pics were taken during this "KLCC" display cuz we were too occupied with its awe-ness)

-My Family-

My sis & my brother-in-law

My sister and my brother
(Being vain is what we know best)



-ThunderClap-


-Lighting up the tree-


-Christmas Tree during Eid Mubarrak??-
