Bits and Pieces

Papyrus Frame

My Egyptian co-worker brought me this papyrus present from his holiday.
At first sight, I know for instance this is the perfect piece for my empty and unused frame.

Accessories

Those sunnies are from Aldo. I'm happy that it complements and fit precisely with the shape of my face.
While the belt is from New Look. It is mustard. It is the last piece. It is sale. 

Coffee
Coffee is one perk that my boss loves to splurge. And he indiscreetly wanted me to be
extra attentive at work by giving me this bag of - none other than - Coffee.

Take Out
Due to photo purposes I kept the sliced tomatoes here and removed them as soon as I started to eat.
Thumbs up for this mouthwatering and appetizing dinner meal.

Cheese

The mystery of Cheedar Cheese. My great source of calcium.

Mailbox 

I received this unexpected letter almost two weeks ago.
The excitement cast down when they put the Arabic language inside the letter and unreadable by me.

Quesadillas

My super bad habit of eating at my desk. I still experienced joy when I tasted the take out
Philly Steak Quesadillas for brunch the other day. The portion is quite small for the price, still yummy though.

Egg McMuffin + Hotcakes

It was a delightful take out breakfast today morning. The MucMuffin is superb. The Counter Attendant
failed to remember that a syrup and butter will make my hotcakes more pleasing.
Reminded myself - please check before you leave.

Movies

Borrowed these DVDs for weekend. I know I will have fun watching them alone tomorrow.

While it does seem incredible to post them by category, I like that I do something slightly different again. But I have to admit the short bits make my extensive list more precise. The above has been happening to me for the past days, weeks. And I treated my camera like a journal, I click and click and click that come to pass until I settle to gather them.
Some of you may already noticed about my new layout on the previous post. Don't be surprised, I just applied the dynamic view available in the template. I was captivated by the simplicity and immaculate design. The only downside - some widgets can't be seen.

Blessed with Curves

A typical model is usually visible in all sorts of medium as gracefully thin and most likely as gaunt as possible, the kind of promoting pro-anorexia. And yours truly, who resorts to unhealthy habits of eating is impossible to achieve it. These made me celebrate women who are blessed with curves and embrace their body shapes with no reason at all to join the skinny-craze bandwagon. They know how to flaunt their curves in a flawlessly healthy, lean, beautiful and desirable way.

Kate Winslet

"I'd much rather be known as some curvy Kate than as some skinny stick."

Katherine Heigl

“I’m too lazy and I like food and I like my free time too much to spend it working out!”

 Gemma Arterton

"I dress like a woman and wear a lot of couture because it's made for real women with curves. I'm a size ten, which I don't think is big."

 Amanda Bynes

"I feel better when I'm fit, but I don't like to work out. I used to say, "I'm young; I don't need to." But I do feel my body changing. I just can't eat pizza at midnight without waking up feeling really bloated. I try eating healthy, but it's hard. All I want is frozen yogurt with chocolate chips and waffles!"

Vanessa Hudgens

"Confidence is key. Sometimes, you need to look like you're confident even when you're not."

Salma Hayek

"I act tall! But look how short I am...I can't even act to be tall. I'm five-two. I can't even create the illusion that I am tall!"

Hayden Panettiere

"I've always had a mad addiction to salt. I've been known to pick the salt off of pretzels and eat it!"

Monica Bellucci

"When I eat with my friends, it is a moment of real pleasure, when I really enjoy my life."

 Kim Kardashian

"Of course, I struggle with insecure moments. I wish I didn't but I love to eat! Especially sweets. And I'll say it, I think my thighs are jiggly and I have cellulite. Not let's move on! Because when I put the time in at the gym, I'm confident. You have to feel good to look good."

Scarlett Johansson

"I`m curvy - I`m never going to be 5` 11` and 120 pounds. But I feel lucky to have what I`ve got."

Storm or Shine

Last week, the city was camouflage in severe sandstorm and the air was filled with powdery and chalky dust which gave me reason to cover-up my face with scarf. The temperature felt so cold, and I was almost struck with intense flu if I didn't alleviate with some preventive medicine.

This week, here is the picture after the catastrophic storm. I failed to notice rain wash away the mess.

The luminescence from the bright sun is a hint of a brilliant and mild cold weather on the way.

Meanwhile, I am now able to update my Facebook,

Have a blooming weekend everyone!
greetings, aileen

Woo hoo! What a Friday!

My off days are as usual as it always been. As posted here, after doing some of my errands last Friday,
I took a shower when a loud knocking in my main door interrupted.

It was my flatmate who persuaded me and my other flatmates for an afternoon trip to a city 60 miles away from our vicinity. I have never been there.

Though initially undecided, I move on grabbed a sweater, and an old boot cut jeans seem like its waiting an age to come forth out of my wardrobe.

And we drove between cities to see the park at its beautiful best and be able to explore a part of this country, get on with it and enjoy.

Over the course of our journey, I took most of the photographs by rolling down the window of the car.
It was an afternoon filled with fun and memories.

So chilly but I can't say no to one of my indulgence - soft drinks.

A selection of dates.

At the market to buy some fresh fish.

Local Arab men.

The city existed for its bustling downtown populated by expatriates.

The trip is fun with something to munch, and it is extra special if it is Doritos.

I can smell the breezy blue ocean.

At the park.

It is more romantic bringing a nice blanket and own dishes, head to the shore with your beau  halfway through
the winter. Locals definitely do.

A park beside the beach is a popular destination for locals.

Some expats taking photographs.

A kid enjoying a bike ride.

I watched the sun as it slips below the horizon.

And here's my crazy exercise, building castles in the air.
I'm wearing my black Abaya , a must.
