"It's Been A While"

My goodness.

It must have been absolutely ages since I have blogged.
I almost thought I have given up the blogo-sphere, only to return a year later and to issue my thoughts onto this almost real world..

Man, I feel like I matured!

Well, the past year has been a year of changes, losses and gains on all accounts, joy and pain on all levels. But the wonderful thing is, here I am.
I am still here, waning but pushing myself to survive.

I have made a great deal of mistakes to learn from, but I believe I have scarcely used its wisdom. But I will learn eventually.

Weight wise. I think I have reached the weight that I left off on. So I will try to continue from there.

I’ll keep an eye on the blog world so I can keep an eye on a selected few of mine. They know who they are.

Take care.

It Was Inevitable...

he said.

It was inevitable. To the whole world it was inevitable.
To the whole world but I.

(laughs)

Inevitable.

Today, on a mellower note...

I stand beside myself sometime.
These days I often find that I have those few moments to myself. During these moments I stand beside myself. I’m usually in a room. With people around me or not, it doesn’t matter.
I stand, in though but not in thought.

A thousand ideas, revelations, revolutions run through my mind. Theories, memories, scenarios, laughs and almost tears. My eyes feel like glass, I don’t recognize what I am staring at even if it’s my own bathroom floor.

My God, its hard living a life when you don’t know where your future lies.
It’s awful when you’ve had a taste of what your future can be and have it unpredictably taken away.

“Was it inevitable?” I was asked once.
“What was?” I, innocently.
“The end.” Stated.
“No”, answered, I. “Last thing on my mind,”.

He once told me I had nice fingers.
He kissed them once. Just once. Just like that. Out of the kindness of his heart. Out of love?
It was the first time we’d seen each other in a while. At that moment, when he said those words, I had someone agree with me. I had one person tell me I had beautiful hands.
What a wonderful moment it was…
A moment I had dreamed and thought about for so damn long.
Another voice said it to me, it was truly not mine, it was someone else’s who told me I have nice hands.
Some one who loved me and I love back.
Loved.

I stand beside myself sometimes.
These days I often find that I have those few moments to myself.

People I Would Like To Donate Fat To

Yes ladies and Gentlemen i am feeling quite generous today, i have decided, very openly to donate fat! Yes fat, my own fat 100% Egyptian meat, matured for 19 years on the best quality food around...

Okie i know it sounds really odd, but keep reading, i make absolute sense here!

Alas, a revelation, i can provide people who are less fortunate then myself, ie . REALLY SKINNY! or just thin, with some good quality fat. it will fill up thier jeans and give them a social life, let them go to the gym etc.

And i will have a policy agreement ofcourse, that they should have the fat for 12 months if they should see to it to return it, ie. my return policy. In the clauses as well they would have to attend a gym for 6 months and follow a strict 1,250 calorie per day diet.
Therefore, by the time that they might consider returning it, they would have lost the fat anyway...Intelligent yes..Cunning...hmmm..u decide! :P

So here comes the list, a few people that i would love to donate fat to:

1.Paris Hilton.
Rather than looking like a over fried chicken, she would look like an overfried duck. Maybe it would also start her a career in plus size modeling..

2. The Aneroxic Carpenter lead singer, God bless her soul.
If she could have just waited a few more years, i would have saved her!

3. Healthy Chick in my steps class.
Honestly, i dont understand why the hell she puts herself through the pain of Steps class twice a week?! and her body is great! I swear it! I just look at her and turn green with envy, and admiration of course, im aiming for that figure.

4. Angelina Jolie.
She mentioned that she didnt have any meat around her; Butt, legs, arms...
Angy... i am more than happy to donate any amount into all these areas, provided ofcourse that you donate some breast and lips to me, we know too much it too much, be generous, give some away to the less fortunate.

5.My brother.
If you had a look at his legs you'd understand what i mean. i think i was born with his share of fat.
Nuff Said.

6. Girl in my school whom i deteste, but actually pity now.
I would be glad to show her who the better woman is and give her some of my fat, might make her a better person with her having my happy fat flowing inside her veins.

7. The actor from the "New Guy" movie, you see, this guy, he is lovely, but just too skinny. I think if i donate some fat to him, he may burn it into muscle. I dont think its possible yet, but any new aspiring scientist, i said it first!

5. Starving people in Africa.
Realisation for my good friend "F", who said we should donate some fat to the starving people in Africa.
Not only would we be losing fat, but also a sort of "Zakat".

6. Jennifer Aniston, the closer the Friend's episodes came to a finish, the more weight she loses and loses! the show is over now, has she decreased ionto a a pencil woman sketch, honestly, she is a frame with no picture. No wonder Brad Pitt left her.

7. Brad Pitt.
(I dont want to donate fat to him, i just wanted to say his name) Sigh

8. Kangy.
This guy here in the College. He is in dire need of some blubber.

9.Anna Nicole-Smith.
She's easier to laugh at and pity when she's fat.

10 Uma Thurman.
i can give her fat she can give me some kung fu tricks.

11. Hannibal Lecter.
Wel if he wants some good lard for cooking human flesh, mine will give it that extra egyptian flavour. (imagine if all people of the world donated fat, what amazing flavours they will bring! imagine Indian flavoured lard!)

12.Kiera Knightly
She just has no bloody flesh on her, she can use some fat in all the right places.
Did you see her outfit in "King Arthur" she was easily wrapped in ribbons.

Hmmm..i cant think of anyone else at the moment, but i also suggest i open a sort of "Fat Bank" . I think it would have no disadvantages really, people who have fat can lose it healthily and for a good purpose, and the people who need fat can find it easily without having to go through grueling diets etc!

What do you think?
Any body else you would like to add to my list please add them on!

The Red Lounge

Coming to you from my very own bedroom, your very own beetroot!

Hello and hello and more hello’s!!

I am waiting for my dad to wake up and take me to the gym, so I thought, hey why not? Come over here and post an entry!

Well firstly, thank u for all my readers who kept up with me even though I have been a tardy (reduced) bum!

Well, I failed to mention a few things that I wanted to tell you about last entry, do u remember Daddy Long Legs? Yes him!! The guy who keep bumping into me!
He has returned, oh yes! And worse than ever.
At a Thursday aerobics class, I happened to be standing next to him, and he seriously has coordination issues!
I think he might have some sort of disability, because he could not keep up at all, and I was trying to hold in my laughter the whole time, and I know its cruel and all etc. but he needs to go to a rave, he was waving his arms with 2kg dumbbells, which happened to bump into me on four different occasions, and when we had some aerobic steps around the room, he would never get the steps right and I would almost walk into him!
It subjected me to even tell him “ew3a yabny” in my native Egyptian accent. Thankfully he doesn’t understand Arabic and the music was quite loud.
I was willing to push him away, but he was all sweaty and stinky I was worried that I might break him or something!

I got 70% on my Political Science Mid Term! SCOOOORE! I am proud of myself, considering that I didn’t even understand half of the questions because they were in Arabic!

What else?!?!?!

Oh yes, my weight, I am really sick and tired of being overweight. I know I’m losing it and all. But I just want to get rid of it, you know? Sometimes I wonder, didn’t it get bored of my body? Can’t it go away and find someone else’s life and make it miserable?

Oh just some thoughts, well I finally set up my short story and poetry blog, please do check it out! http://theredlounge.blogspot.com

Apologies, Apologies!

Ladies and Gentlemen!
Ever so sorry for not posting an entry since...since...forever!

Well i apologize once more, i feel i am basking in my shame here, but i do have an excuse for it!
I got food posining the day after i posted my last entry, so i was stuck at the "residence" for a weekend, t'was awful!
But i am much better thankfully, excuse numero Dos: i had midterms, they are plaguing my whole April.

Diet has been going all right, havent wieghed myself yet, but I have gotten visible and tangible achievement! I can wear a size 20 skirt! i know it sounds really pathetic, but i had to wear a skirt due to my jeans tearing (they tore due to over use! ), i had to wear size 24 until now! :)
A pair of jeans still comes at a size 24 for me, (i tried one in one of the malls) but for once, my ass didnt look like it was a seperate entity to the rest of my body!

What else, what else! oh yes, my ballroom dance class, i am HOOKED! i was even described by the staff as being "graceful" yes, moi, graceful..and ofcourse you get the several comments in the class...sigh..well i guess i got "rhydem" as the great sean paul would say!
Speaking of sean paul, i have a strange urge to start shaking my bum..
"Shake that thing.." Okie back to the blog..

Where was I? Oh yes, well i have been considering having a sort of short story blog, might come back to that and start it soon. Keep on a look out for it!

Must go now, diet stats for tha day:

Breakfast:

6 dates
1 Strawberry youghurt
Water (does that count? coz i had LOADS of it!)

The Duchess of Padua....

"I see when men love women
They give them but a little of their lives,
But women when they love give everything;
I see that, Guido, now."
The great words of Oscar Wilde, from the Duchess Of Padua, a failed play, but I had a monologue by the main Lead, the Duchess..Durr..

Coming to from the sanctity of my home, specifically my dining table whilst watchin “In the Line of Fire”, your very own sadistic beetroot...

Yes Ladies and gents, I am still not a happy bunny, I know its been a week etc, etc, bas I did have some moments of absolute elation like when I passed my acting exam!! Yeah I did! With distinction thank God, I was really pleased with myself and so were my tutors

Diet wise, don’t worry I have been going all right, and I have been trying to eat a little bit of everything so I am trying to introduce small amounts of bread, preferably the crispy kind, full fibre ones, but I still get the stomach aches and nauseous feeling I used to get when I dieting fiercely 4 years ago. So I am considering it a blessing and forgettin about bread all together, this is my 4th day trying to integrate wheat carbs into my diet and all I get is a tummy ache, so I guess its out.
I have been working on my veggies a lot as well, trying to cut down on my meats etc,no I only eat 1 serving a day of meat/chicken fish etc. For example, if I am having some for dinner , then I wouldn’t have any for lunch.
I made a big mistake! I ate some shawerma that they make at the university cafeteria and oh my God, the stomach ache I had all day is undescribable! It was awful, and I had it without bread of course! But the tummy ache, shit, I will never eat anything from that cafeteria again! Their salads make me nasuous, and everything else there is fried I have no idea how these girls in university manage to keep in shape with all the saturated fats they eat!
I have gotten a habit of bringing my own lunch, I pack yoghurts with me to uni, and I eat them in the campus stadium, they have this little garden, where I rest and change my view, just greenery..sigh..
I even fell asleep there once, last Wednesday, just put my head on my bag and closed my eyes and felt myself drift off into slumber, it was beautiful…

Well what else?
In my aerobics class, I finally can keep up with the full routines and my bum has reduced! It doesn’t say so on the weigh or on my measurement tape, but I can see it!
My dance classes are going great, my class that I attended on Saturday, I actually had a male partner, Alleujah! And he was Kuwaity, real sweetheart, and he has got rhythem! And he’s not to bad on the looking side either, but I am taken..sigh….
Monday, I had another partner, who was a wonderful dancer, one of the lovely couple at my salasa class advised me to have him as a partner as he is “ a great dancer” and he IS! He taught me the “switch body lead” steps, and everyone was watching us work at it, he’s a fab teacher!


Oh well, diet stats:

Breakfast:

Beleela with raisins
1 grapefruit

Snack:
1 high energy fiber bar
1 scoop low fat raspberry sherbet ice cream
1 juice

Lunch
1 grilled chicken
1 medium sized plate of salad
1 scoop of cooked peas
2 bread rusks

Dinner
2 dinner rusks with cottage cheese

Thanks for keeping up with my blog, thanks for all your support!
