PRICELESS CHILDHOOD MEMORIES

PROPS to Sarah for sending this one out to me. LOVE IT!

Classic Sesame Street clips help me take a trip down memory lane. *sigh* good times.

-taibah out.

life through different nights

he smiles a soft one.

ignoring the fact you tripped over yourself.

realizing its only a weak mistake.

the distance you feel.

while patiently waiting.

saying things you've never dreamed of saying.

takes a lifetime to earn respect, takes a second to lose it.

mixed emotions

something like phenomena baby!

Im sitting in asper today, im a study cubicle, sadly im very concentrated today while i study today. The study cubicle allows one to stay focused on the ONLY objects sitting infront of them, nothing else. yet im very paranoid still. very paranoid.

my cell phone rang not too long ago. its normal right? well, not if you got my ringtone! lol i got smirks from EVERYONE around me while my stupid phone rang and sang to everyone in this quiet area. how humiliating eh? while i casually get up and walk out of this area, im thinking THIS CALL BETTER BE IMPORTANT OR ELSE!

lol

i hate how pathetic my laptop battery is, ive had my laptop on for 40mins and i only have 71% remaining. my cellphone and laptop are seriously failing me today. it took me ages to connect to the internet too. im not complaining.

ive promised myself to not complain for the next little month or so, it should be quite the challenge. i got to school today, and i guess there was a fire drill in engineering so i almost got run over while im trying to get to the bank machines. When i finally get my cash etc, the tim hortons line is RETARDLY long, the one day i decide to give in to watery coffee from timmys'....

i debated about heading upstairs to IQ's but i choose not to, im not digging starbucks today.

now im getting kinda hungry, i do have my water bottle and a bag of cherryblasters that i picked up from walmart yesterday. how i want pretzels so badly!!!! i have a bag of them waiting at home for me too :(

anyways, off i go...

BLAH!


so tired, im sitting here on campus, and i felt like just being a total inhuman so i just attacked my keyboard by banging my fists agaisnt it lol

you should try it, it feels kinda oddly relaxing actually.


i walked to the bus stop today and i began huming to myself. i dont usually do that and then i realized it was getting kinda hard to breath, so i decided to stop. Since it was kinda cold, i decided to throw my hands into my pockets and i realized i HAD something in my pocket. A fresh pack of Trident Freshmint Gum. oh joy!


i cant stand people who chew with their mouth open. A particular family member of mine (whoes closest in age with me lol) chews on her gum really gross. Mouth open, the works.

ewwww

ewww

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww



so i decided to figure out what joy people have while they chew gum with their mouth open. so i tried to chew gum with mouth open today. i couldnt do it. i just cant. it sickened me quite grossly actually. i had to spit out my gum too.

Mr.Sketch

brand new box, just waiting for me to use them. I get high off smelling the Mr.Sketch markers, maybe its a good thing to just leave them in the box.

below that, sits a 30pack of brand new crayola markers.

art supplies are so exciting!!!

...

the other night i went to refill my glass of water. Its an insane habit, i HAVE to have a glass of water next to my bed at night time, otherwise it just doesnt feel right. While i got up to head to the kitchen, i peek at my alarmclock/cell phone and realize its roughly 3am. My bedroom is the last room in the hallway(which is the main reason why my room is so bloody cold all the time), so i have to walk an extra metre or so to get to the kitchen. As i got out of bed, i take 2 steps....CRASH!

i knocked over my chair that i forgot to tuck in near my desk. I stood petrified for a few seconds, waiting to see if anyone woke up to the sound of a deathly crash in the dead of the night. But luckily no one did. The walk to the kitchen wasnt eventful.

the next morning i told my dad, he was like "good, that should teach you to put your things away before going to bed, imagine if your laptop was on the floor and you stepped on that. Dont count on me to get you another one."

this one time i dropped my laptop. i was lying on the floor in my room during the summer and then i got reallly stiff from lying there, so i decided to sit on my bed instead. as im getting up, with my laptop in my hands, the laptop slips out and falls to the floor, it wasnt a dramatic fall or anything as nothing serious happened at all, but i still freaked out.

Alhumdulliah, its FRIDAY!

i wake up nice and early today, considering i went to bed after 2pm.

my thoughts while laying awake in bed: im gonna be a good muslim and save the environment. i will take the bus today!

after getting my bag, books, laptop, wallet and clothes ready and after im done my morning routine, i bounce off eat some breakfast.

i tell my mom about my fantastic idea about taking the bus, she's very proud of me for thinking independantly. i then says to her: soooo can you drop me off at the bus stop in about an hour??

i got a good yelling right after that lol.

i get to the bus stop(walking the entire way) with about 10mins to kill, not much time but im having a coffee craving starting to build up inside me. exam jitters i suppose. i run into the mall and back to the bus stop, #51 pulls up, i hop in with my mediam caramel caretto from Second Cup. i am amazing.

but im done exams! yay! espresso party? hmmm, maybe....

last day at home depot tomorrow, why do i feel so tense??

-Taibah out.

youtube can be halal too

Props to Umar for sending this one out to me.

my brain cells will die. soon. too soon. damn.

Monday afternoon, I wake at 1:15pm. I skipped school for the day and decided to study at home. I went to work later in the evening. While on my break at work, I decided to get caffeine high’d at my favourite coffee shop, Second Cup. I settled on a double shot espresso AND a medium caramel caretto (no whipped cream). I finished my drinks at roughly 7:00pm.

I didn’t sleep at all that same night. I lay there, in my bed, awake. Mostly doing some hardcore thinking, But I did pull my phone out and played Freecell until Fajr salat time. After Fajr, I still couldn’t sleep, so I decided to tidy up my bedroom and set my clothes out for school. Surprisingly, I wasn’t tired at all, I yawned only once.

I get to school, hit the books, attend lecture, chilled in IQ’s, renewed my lisc., ate lunch with a friend, bumped into my sister. Sadly, its becoming routine on our Tuesday to hit up restaurants together and then head out for dessert somewhere. I should really stop this habit, as I might go bankrupt. Today we decided to head out to Corydon Ave. and look for some jazzy looking places to eat. As we’re walking outside to her car in the K Lot, my paranoid side REALLY couldn’t contain itself…

Imagine youself in your white adidas kicks walking through an insanely wet parking lot, I swear there was a lake around one vehicle. The walk to her car was rather eventful, took us afew mins to finally pull out.

When we reach Corydon Ave. we almost run over some kid. He didn’t mind tho, he just smiled and waved us to “go ahead”, since he was closer to my side of the car, I mouthed the words “Sorry” to him…and added a quick wave.

No restaurants really appealed to me on Corydon Ave. except for one. Soup Pierre. He looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! On the restaurant signage, theres a cute little cartooned chef dude. My sister didn’t feel like heading there tho. I suggested we try looking for another restaurant on Osbourne.

We hit up osbourne and find ourselves sitting in the amazingly classy, jazzy, chic Buccacino’s Cucina Italia.

AWESOME PLACE!

Defiantly gonna be back there sometime soon. The service was fantastic; my drink was too cool for words, literally. Priced so decently, quick service, and quality food. Love it.

I ordered a Strawberry Daiquiri, and some Fettuccini Alfredo. Usually I never liked Alfredo, I guess it depends on the amount of flavouring in the sauce. Today they topped mine with fresh parmesan cheese. My bill came to about $15

But as usual, I ALWAYS end up paying for my sister, our final total came to less than $30

After we finish up there, we jump back in the car, and head to Eva’s Gelato. This other customer in there, had a puppy in his hands and it was so CUTE! My sister didn’t even notice it, but I knew she’d harass the poor thing to no end if she tried to play with it.

I got Mango and Wildberry gelato today. Mango was fantastic as usual, widberry not so much. I shouldn’t be eating berries in the first place. I also ordered an espresso with a Vanilla flavour shot. Holy crap, that tiny drink was insane!!! I drank about ¾’s of it, it was too much for me to handle.

When we jump back in the car, I decided it was a good time to head home, it was almost 5:00pm. I notice a Second Cup on Corydon Ave. I beg for her to make a stop, and we jumped inside. I ordered a Large Caramel Caretto. I get home about 15 mins later.

I seriously passed out on the couch. I cant even remember what was going on. According to my family, they thought I was unconscious, which is true. I awoke afew hours later feeling insanly stiff and run off to my room. I crashed on my bed for about another hour, but now im awake.

I seriously went on a bad caffeine high. All that coffee in less than 24 hours. I swear, im surprised im still alive.

james bond theme music *evil smiles*

just taking a quick break from studying statistics :(

so this past tuesday wasnt very productive at all. considering my exam is right around the corner.

after bumping into my sister in the prayer room on campus, we head out to eat lunch on campus. only to realize we're not excited by the food we can buy there. luckily, i have my credit card, and she has her car. before we know it, we're sitting in Grapes sipping our drinks.


Grapes is nice jazzy looking restaurant. i like the interior and the lighting fixtures for some reason. Our waitress kept saying "ok ladies? everything going well ladies?". she kept over-using that word and it kinda bothered some people....i wasnt entirely thrilled with the menu choices for people like me, im very restricted in what i can and cant eat. i resulted to mozza sticks and an amazing greek salad. i ended up paying for both our lunches.

we later ended up on corydon avenue. Eva's Gelato, AMAZING!!! i chose mango and strawberry, i wish gelato was a person, i'd totally marry it! lol i seriously cant wait for my next trip there, tons and tons of flavours to choose from. i swear i will never look at ice cream the same again :(

usually, my sister has some really retarded music. its mostly gay stuff like bollywood crap that all sounds the same. ive been told i listen to real music, which is quiet a compliement actually. however, while driving down corydon, i was able to find some james bond theme music, it was AWESOME! i have yet to steal that track from her....

in other news, im going to see lupe, kanye and rihanna in may! ticket prices really killed me :(
oh wells, it better be worth it!

alright, i think my textbook is calling me, gotta see what she wants..
until next time..

-taibah out :D

the bus ride to work

ok, so i rode the bus from campus to work today. it was alright, it wasnt that squishy and it didnt smell like funky odours as the buses usually do. I think today, the guy sitting next to me had a really strong cologne, and it did smell quite nice to me. hmmmm

anyways, as i reach my destination point, i decide to move to a seat closer to the front door of the bus. as im sitting there, i watch the several people jump on and off the bus. it filled me with a complicated sadness.

no, im not sad they were leaving the bus, or leaving me. but i was thinking about the dunya. SubhanAllah, yet another sign from god was being thrown infront of me. Picture yourself in my shoes.

sitting on the bus, people come in and out.

now think of life....

sitting in this dunya, people come in and out.

we each stop at different destinations points, sometimes you end up at the same destination point as others. yet we dont usually care where the others are heading off to, once you're off the bus, you sometimes wont see thoes people again esp if you dont know them.

im glad i took the bus today.

-taibah out.

just another ordinary day. i think

i quit at home depot today, i gave in my 2 week notice paper and for the rest of the day i was being approached by literally EVERYONE questioning why i did it.

i am bitterly honest when im ticked about something. so i gave them the honest truth, "at this store, i get paid to be bitched at, this place isnt worth my time or energy. u losers can stay here"

ok, i didnt say the losers part, but i REALLY REALLY wanted to, i've had a LONG 11 months with that company. *sigh*

but my time spent there wasnt all bad. i met some amazing people, some of which i keep in touch with on a more personal level. ive had lots of bad days there, however i didnt take it all personally. most of the time i left work things at works. u know, like the drama and inner conflicts or even my worst customer stories.

whatever, it'll be all over soon, and then it'll just be a memory. insha allah.

regardless,
i was suppose to bake cookies today, but im out of margarine. i could use butter, but i really dont want to :(

and i was so excited for it too...
