things i'm grateful for: christmas 2011 and new year's 2012

i'm very, very choosy when it comes to friends.that's why i only have a select few of them.they are the ones who have been with me through thick and thin (and i for them!), who know me inside out, who love me (i hope so!) warts and all.

so i also consider it a blessing that i get to "inherit" mr t's close friends. they are a lovely bunch of people, and although we may not speak the same language, our bond with mr t brings us closer together.

eid mubarak

we were given a very long weekend  due to eid celebrations! so that's friday until tuesday for all of you, my non-uae readers.

here's a catch-up from last month and last week:

things i'm grateful for: road trip! (bavaria)

i can vaguely remember our few days in munich as i think i just slept most of the time! haha.it was drizzling and the skies were dark.sometimes when the sun would peep out, we would head out to the playground near oma and opa's house.

weekend (s) roundup

mr t and i just got back from a roman holiday, possibly our most stressful trip ever.more about it later while i catch my breath.

in the meantime, some overdue stories...

weekend (s) roundup

we've been taking advantage of the great weather and eating out a lot in the balcony.soon it will be summer, and i will not be able to properly breathe na naman...

you're welcome.

out and about

as i'm typing this, mr t is somewhere up in the air , off to germany for a (well-deserved) skiing holiday! he's also going to meet some of his friends, including c and t, whom i have grown fond of as well.i might steal and pass them off as my friends, too! haha.hi c! hi j! hi t! it's so nice to be with people whom you have known since you were in knickers probably.hee.my own best friends are the ones i've known since we were in kindergarten or grade 1, i think.

as usual, i digress.

things i'm grateful for: 5 years!

so our four-day public holiday is about to end.it was fun and oh-so relaxing! on friday, we finally went to il caffe di roma where we had our usual breakfast brunch.ramadan is over, so cafes and restaurants are open once again during the day.yay.

my friends

i'm going through e-mails from my high school friends and i'm just overwhelmed with nostalgia.i love these girls. some of us have known one another for more than twenty years (that shows our age.heehee).these are the people i trust and the ones i know i can rely on. we have been through a lot.boyfriends.schools.jobs.god, they were even there to help when i needed cash.haha!honestly, i'm not really a good friend.i disappear now and then (maybe all the time?)yet despite of all my shortcomings, they are always there.i wish you would also have the kind of friends that i have.i love them and i cannot wait to spend time again with these girls, ay women na pala!
