Parisienne YSL

I just bought it and needed to share it with you. I'm in love with it. This will be my new favorite perfume along with Cool Water Wave by Davidoff. They're breathtaking.

A Quick Hello

I'm so sorry for not updating these past few days, i just didn't feel like writing, and i honestly haven't got anything that would possibly interest you. I've been busy studying for my midterms, so i guess that would be a good excuse for my lack of posting.

I woke up today from a two hour sleep, feeling very drowsy. I've been studying all night long, and from all the hard work i pulled off last night, a person would expect to get an A, but oh no not to me, i didn't do so well. What a shame, i disappointed myself. People learn from their mistakes and that's what i'm planning to do....study HARDER!

Shifting to something else, i just started watching Ugly Betty, everyone has been saying how good this show is and i must agree, it's such a feel good kinda show! makes me relax and forget about all my worries!

And oh one last thing, i'm going to Dubai on the 26th for a holiday with the family, i want to know how the weather is over there? still hot?

Late For Class

I'm hurrying up, trying to get to class, cutting my way through the hot melting sun in our beloved college. I made it to the front door and suddenly a group of girls decide to stand in front of the hallway and have a freakin conversation! i ask them politely to move so i could pass, and when i do, i find a bunch of girls -who put a whole new meaning to the word annoying- walking slowly on the stairway texting, for fucks sake could you please MOVE YOUR ASSES OUT OF MY WAY!! thankfully i made it to class, i search for an empty seat, and when i come closer i find a huge amount of hair dangling from my seat, perfect just what i need, i ask a girl next to me if she could hand me some tissues to clean up this sickening image that's facing me. I sit back, inhale the cold air coming from the air condition, open up my text book and begin my lecture.

6126 by Lindsay Lohan

I'm not sure if you have heard about this, but Lindsay Lohan is currently working on ads for the spring collection of her leggings line 6126 - named after Marilyn Monroe’s birth date (June 1, 1926). I don't know if i'm supposed to laugh or cry. I really feel sorry for her, trying to change her image into something better, by coming up with her own line, seriously?

To tell you the truth the leggings aren't that bad, i actually like them but i wouldn't dare wear them. And what's with the neon lime top? it's horrible!

They look like stripper clothes. She keeps convincing us how trashy she is.

What do you think?

Regret

I wish i could take back the things i said.
They can never be erased, and so i must suffer the consequences.

This made me feel a bit better. We all say things we regret in the end, so i'm not alone.

One of Those Endless Classics

Things have been very stressful these past few days, I get the feeling this semester will be very hectic. I can't believe my brain is getting all these kinds of information in just one day. Ughhh everything is becoming so hard. I'm sensing some sort of boredom here. Every time we study something our professor says that we need to pay attention cause we'll be needing it in our internship. Too bad i have a lousy memory, don't know what i'm going to do.

I made a vow to myself that i will do my best enshallah! I really need a good GPA for when i graduate.

Lots of things to do, yet i continue to struggle with not wanting to do anything at all. We're heading to Shargeya tomorrow to attend a wedding which i'm really not looking forward to, then we're going to Bahrain after that, i hope it'll be fun.

And oh remember when i mentioned how i was planning on gaining weight, well voila mission accomplished, everyone has been saying how healthy i look these days and i'm so happy how things turned out pretty well for me.

That's all for now peeps.
Toodles xx

Rebirth

I feel like a new person, like i was just born. I like to believe that having someone in your life, can give you the ability to choose a pathway you can never get lost. I found that someone, a person that brought back my faith in what i used to believe in. The persistence of getting what i lived and worked hard for, wanting a fairytale ending, looking at the bright side from every angle, was all i ever needed in life for someone to make me realize all these things.

No one will ever erase any of them, i guarantee you that. My believes will top any obstacle in life, and no one will ever take that away from me.

Having something to believe in, can make you a strong person. If you put your mind into achieving anything in life no matter how big or small they are, nothing can ever stand in your way. And i know it's hard to bear the fact that your future might be in the hands of some elses, but that is never a reason to give up. The one thing i was taught in life, was to never give up. You create your own future not them! it's in your hands!

I promise you this, I will keep fighting for my happiness and will never ever be put down no matter what.

Fashion Emergency

Colorful bras under white blouses.
A crime girls should be shot for. It's so trashy.

Blue and green contacts.
I think it was over 10 years ago. Stop it.

Orange lipstick.

Fake tan.
It's supposed to look 'natural', not literally fake.

Blond hair on dark skinned
Seriously? who said you could possibly pull that off?


Some girls really need help, i would gladly give fashion tips for free. For the sake of helping the needy.

Back To Reality

(Click on picture to enlarge)

I'm kinda excited for college, which is really weird i know, but i don't know i'm just getting this really good feeling about it. i'll be honest with you here - i can't believe i'm gonna say this - i'm really in the mood to learn, yes you heard me right! i'm so gonna regret saying this later on, but in the meantime i'll just try to enjoy having this feeling which i never get! maybe cause of the long vacation we had? hmm don't know. I sound like a complete nerd lol but i swear i'm not. i'm just....happy! i'm so thankful for alot of things, so i'm trying to be positive in every possible way.

We haven't started yet, a sudden change of plan i guess, next week enshallah. I have a day off on Saturday which is AMAZING 7amdilah ya rab! so i'll be having a very long weekend (goolo mashallah) :D

Remember, what we all need is a good education!

G'night!

What You Need To Know About Psychology

Situation #1
Someone: So what are you studying?
Me: Psychology.
Someone: Mashallah that's amazing! I've always been fascinated by it!

Situation #2
Someone: So what are you studying?
Me: Psychology.
Someone: *looks away* *then looks back at me* *gives out an Ahhh*

*Pause*

Someone: Ummm...is it nice?

These are the two types of situations i always encounter with. They either think it's something amazing and start asking questions about it, or just look at me like i'm some kind of a psycho.
Alot of people don't know what it is exactly. What do they study about? Is it related to medicine? Will they be affected by it? Will they be mentally ill?

Here's something i found that will help clarify things for you.

Psychology Is the Study of the Mind and Behavior
Psychology is the study of the mental processes and behavior. The term psychology comes from the Greek word psyche meaning "breath, spirit, soul" and the logia meaning "study of." Psychology emerged from biology and philosophy and is closely linked to other disciplines including sociology, medicine, linguistics and anthropology.

Psychology Uses Scientific Methods
One of the most common myths about psychology is that it is just "common sense." Unlike common sense, psychology relies on scientific methods to investigate questions and arrive at conclusions. Psychologists use a range of techniques to study the human mind and behavior, including naturalistic observation, experiments, case studies and questionnaires.

Psychologists Take Many Different Perspectives
Topics and questions in psychology can be looked at in a number of different ways. For example, psychologists may look at something like violence from a number of different perspectives. Some psychologists may look at how biological influences contribute to violence, while other psychologists might look at factors like culture, family influence, social pressure and situational variables influence violence. Some of the major perspectives in psychology include the:

* Biological perspective
* Cognitive perspective
* Behavioral perspective
* Evolutionary perspective
* Humanistic perspective

Psychology Has a Many Subfields
There are many different branches of psychology. Introductory students often explore the basics of these various specialty areas, but further exploration of each individual field may depend on what course of study you select. Some of the biggest subfields within psychology are clinical psychology, personality psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology and social psychology.

Psychology Is Not Just About Therapy
When you think of psychology, do you envision a therapist with a notepad taking notes as a client recounts childhood experiences? While therapy is certainly a big part of psychology, it is not the only thing that psychologists do. In fact, some psychologists don't work in the field of mental health at all. Psychology encompasses other areas including teaching, research and consulting. Psychologists work in a wide variety of settings, including:

* Colleges and universities
* Private corporations
* K-12 Schools
* Hospitals
* Government offices

Psychology Is All Around You
Psychology is not just an academic subject that exists only in classroom, research labs and mental health offices. The principles of psychology can be seen all around you in everyday situations. The television commercials and print ads you see everyday rely on psychology to develop marketing message that influence and persuade people to purchase the advertised products. The websites you visit on a regular basis utilize psychology to understand how people read, use and interpret online information.

Psychology Studies Both Normal and Abnormal Behavior
When many people think about psychology, they immediately think about the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal behavior. However, it is important to remember that psychology studies normal behavior as well.

Psychology Seeks to Describe, Explain, Predict, Modify and Improve Behaviors
There are four major goals of psychology:
* To describe human thought and behavior
* To explain why these behaviors occur
* To predict how, why and when these behaviors will occur again in the future
* To modify and improve behaviors to better the lives of individuals and society as a whole


And just to clear something out. There's a huge difference between a psychiatrist and a psychologist. A psychiatrist is a license medical doctor who specializes in disease of the mind (not brain, that's a neurologist). A psychologist is a non-medical health-care professional who has taken a masters degree or doctorate in psychology and treats people using words (therapy etc) whereas a psychiatrist can also treat with words but can add medicines to that. In some jurisdictions clinical psychologists can also prescribe certain drugs for mental illness, although they have to take an extra course and the practice remains controversial.

I don't study medicine so that doesn't make me a psychiatrist, but i will be a clinical psychologist enshallah :)
