عــيـــــــدي يــــا بــــــلادي

My father called me a month ago when I was still in England to asked me for my bookings to come back home. My answer was "Yuba !! December 16th akeed !!" I wanted to be here for our national day. Very excited for the maseera, patriotic songs, and decorations .. 3ad e7na elb7raineyeen mool man9adeg .. thab7atna hal sewalef x_x

I wanted to post something earlier but because everything was put on hold out of respect to the death of Sheikh Rashid bin 3isa I didn't ..

Hamad and Nayla spent the whole day together .. His hand was attached to her’s .. They had a big Lunch/dinner at Colbeh, an Iranian restaurant in Edgware road then decided to walk to Hyde Park .. It was getting dark ..

Nayla: I’m tired of walking

Hamad: Then lets sit

Nayla: The grass is wet

Hamad: Its cold .. Not wet

They both sat next to each other .. The sun was ready to set, the sky was a mixture of blue and orange .. her head on his shoulder and his arm around her .. reminiscing .. laughing .. enjoying their company for each other .. Hamad turned his head to face Nayla ..

Hamad: I can spend the rest of my life getting lost in your eyes

Nayla: I wouldn’t ask for more

Hamad: There’s something on your lips

Nayla: oh ..

Hamad: a kiss that belongs to me

And gently pressed his lips against hers ...

Randoms

These are just random moments my friends and I went through when living in the UK ...

My Romeo:

The windows of our apartment were let open to air out the smell of the food we just cooked .. L, her cousin Jills, and I were sitting in the sitting room chatting ..I start singing “El Gos Gosek wel seham s-hamek” a reply from a guy outside “Mali 3ala remshen teselah gowah”

I ran to the window to see who it was .. But couldn’t get to see him ...

On the train:

A Jamaican lady came and sat next to me on the train ..

Lady: Hello

Me: Hi

Lady: Visiting a friend?

Me: Yeah .. you?

Lady: My daughter’s husband is in prison .. Went to see him

Me (Pretend to fall asleep)

....

Man: Are you from Qatar?

Me: No ..

Man: You look like Sheikha Moza

Me: Lol thnx

Don't they usually ask .. are you from saudi? lol

The Beggar:

On our way to watch a movie in the cinema, Me, L and July

A lady beggar: Can you spare me some change?

Me (Smiling): Sorry I haven’t got change on me

Beggar: What are you smiling about?

Me (now start to giggle): Nothing

Beggar: You better stop smiling

Me (turned my face because I was gna burst out laughing)

Beggar: If you don’t stop smiling I’m gna punch you

Owwkaaaay

Starbucks:

I got my coffe and was on my way to join L on the table .. A man was standing in front of me .. He tries to make way but we moved right, left right together

Man: Sorry darling, we'll dance later

Me: LoooooL Fesheeelaa

I don't want to bore you with more random moments .. So I'll just stop here for now :P
