This One's For YOU

This One’s For You

“Life without a friend is death without a witness.”[Arabic Proverb]*
[*Relevantly nice, so decided to repeat it twice :)]

As I reflect on all of my past and present buddies, acquaintances, friends, friends of friends, relationships, I realize easily how blessed I am. For all those who’ve made a lasting impression on me know that I will forever appreciate you as a person and the difference you’ve made in my life. We all start off as blank pages but somehow through life and all the challenges we find people that add color and life to it. My canvas is no different and there are colors that have gone beyond my imagination and still amaze me today and hopefully for many, many years to come.
Someone once said you can’t mix different circles of friends together lol…a precaution worth taking note off! It’s only when you realize how many different layers that make you whole, you begin to appreciate those that truly matter in your life. So here’s a little post dedicated to all the “yous” out there, yeah YOU and nobody else :)


From my creativity this one’s for YOU…

As I woke up this morning I realized I was heavily addicted to “leeannsha”. It was whilst making up my bed I noticed “salwa” was already there ready to give me a healthy dose of laughter. I had a divine moment giving thanks for life and then went off to find me some “divaliciousness”. There was “diva lady” with her bucket full of enrichment feeding my soul. In the next room there was an “LNF” party, one that went 24/7. Viva el “party” lol. To my delight “fundabody” brought me a “duckie” and we all quacked till our throats were all sore. Then “jadi” came and said we were making too much noise so we sent him for some “kebabs” haha. To the sound of kebabs “mashisha” purred loudly and if you don’t know what that means maybe you should ask “PRO” or look it up yourself in the “catzster’s” dictionary. Where’s my “smuckums” and “gawjaz”? I hope “san-san” is looking after them.

Shining brilliantly “brightening my day” was none other than “shummo”. “I’m fabulous if you’re fabulous” I sang out to her. My twin visited next, “iffo janoo” doesn’t come wrapped in a brownish-gold wrapper I’m afraid; I think its blue rofl. Time was running short and I tuned in to watch my favourite action series, “The adventures of Teddy Bearo and butterfly”. :p As I watched I enjoyed some “moony noony pie” as “smiley face” dished out more for me. During the commercials I checked "elmoro4life" to see if "A2D" had posted any new updates on OL. After enjoying the show I heard my poor “tukhie”. :( I had forgotten to listen to her singing her sweet song. We made up and I promised to be “on-time” with my visits. :) Then “suzie” called and told me about “khadina”, “stacey” and “zaana”. As soon as I hung up the phone "mehru" called to update me on "sami yusuf's" schedule. lol

Wait its not over yet, I still have much more to say please sit for a bit longer, just a bit…Today I was extra happy as I was visiting my dearest “Hallie” and her three pumpkins “Salar”, “Taimyyah” and baby “Abdul Qayyoom”. Anyone for pumpkin pie? Sweetness in abundance just makes you feel hungry! lol. From that day onwards I memorized the names of my favourite pumpkin pies. :) As I was driving home I passed by “ASJA” and reminisced the happy days there with “Chem fan #1” and the bag of us, “sher bear”, “b-lo”, “mel”, “leeshie”, “lini”, “dre”, “kreems”, “laura”, “patty”, “marzo” that must be one BIG bag :p and me of course. Suddenly I noticed “mehri jaan” waiting for a taxi and offered her a lift, that was one “happy” ride home. When “jadi” came back with the kebabs I asked him for “hamoudi” as it was scarce for a few months. “Ya Rabby stand by me”, was the message I got. Then we had “mahrach” and kebabs for dinner, as we listened to “It’s my life”. I was happy to inform “nafisa” the butchers shop was closed and she wouldn’t have to meet the “isam” look-alike. My “abla” made me smile once more and I was never “Lost” talking to “linz”. I laughed with “eman” and "zineb" as I told her how I always asked about “sohaz” family. I received some greetings from “paris” before the day was over, “mon cherie”. I sent an sms to “hadjer” and another for “serpil” telling them how much I missed them. As I brushed my teeth before going to sleep I remembered “khajo” promised to fix my teeth when she was certified. Of course "hoobie boobie" had already given me free checkups prior to this. :) At the end of the day I looked up to the sky and said for every star up there I could think of someone shining brighter in my life. To all my “forum peeps”, my “Maghreb brethren and sistren” of course, my “moros”,, my “school mates”, my “work colleagues”, my “teachers” to every single one of you, here’s a huge THANK YOU from me, thanks for being there, you just made it all a nicer world for me. :)
