I heart winter

The weather is moving in a downwards slope. I’ve been paying attention to the temperature in my car every morning at 7 am . It started out last week as 35. Then 33. Then 33 again. Then 32. And this morning it was 32 again. Today is September 21 so it makes sense that we’re experiencing cool weather in the early mornings and at night, although our weather doesn’t always make sense.

Am so looking forward to winter. Looking forward to my weekends and waking up in the morning to go for an outdoor breakfast or brunch. Love those days. Winter in Kuwait is so energizing. It seems like we hibernate indoors almost 7 months out of the year so when it’s cool outside I just wana do as many outdoorsy things as possible.

One of my favorite breakfast spots in Kuwait during the winter is Soug Al-Mubarkiya. My friends and I go there and have yummy chai oo 7aleeb on fa7am and f6eer mishaltit with 7aloom/olives and gaimar/3asal. #YUM! Then after we eat and chill, we usually go around walking and checking out the little shops with nik-naks, herbs, perfumes etc. #Goodtimes

Hopefully by next month the outdoors will be possible and pleasant. Until then, enjoy our so-called "autumn" season. :p

Who knew?

I was just backing up my iPhone and going through my photo albums when I came across some pics my friends and I took during our New Year’s day brunch this year. It was exactly 8 months and 17 days ago. I saw a pic of my best friend who was single back then but is married now. I couldn’t help but think of how fast things in life can change. One minute you’re one place and the other minute you’re somewhere else. In a matter of months (days even) a person’s life could transform out of the blue. 8 months and 17 days ago, she had no idea that she’d be where she is today. Who knew? 8 months and 17 days ago, I thought I’d be somewhere else today, but am not. Who knew?

#Life.. so unexpected.

When I grow up, I wanna be a..

From what I recall, it started out as me wanting to be a nursery teacher cuz I remember that I loved kids. Then I wanted to be a lawyer. Then a geneticist. Architect. Interior designer. Nutritionist. Then in 12th grade I was in the "I don't know what I want to do" phase and then BAM! Business popped up, mainly cuz it is a flexible field with various opportunities. So business it was, despite my best friend trying to convince me to join her in medicine which was out of the question.

Now, 8 years later, I ask myself: Have I made the right choice? Yup. It was the right one indeed. But am still kinda lost as to what I wanna be exactly. Business is a big umbrella. I guess I just haven't found my calling yet. But I have a feeling it will come.. one day.. hopefully soon. Inshala!
