dinner on the 26th at eatzi.

first.

my trip down to mustafa centre was much more than purchasing personal stuff at discounted prices.

while browsing at the makeup counter, i saw this beautiful lady in blue punjabi suit and head scarf motioning to me. i was oblivious to what she was saying because i had my playlist plugged in. she started off saying that i looked very familiar and we chatted up for a good half an hour.

one take away i received while talking to the arab lady was, "its only human nature to like to look at something beautiful. beautiful people, landscapes, God's creations. but what makes the person so much more beautiful than she already is, is her heart (and she touched her heart). the most beautiful person is the ugliest, without a good heart. with a good heart, beauty will simply shine through."

subhanAllah.
jazakillahu khoiron, aunty hawa.

it was you and me against the world

and you promised me forever more

was it something that i said?

was it something that i did?

cause i got to know

what made me unbeautiful.

1054 days.

i cant remember the last time i had one. i had an ice cream on the sweltering hot tuesday afternoon. vanilla with rasberry swirls and a cruncy biscuit cone from macs. it tasted so good - especially when it was the brother who got it for me, from his own dollar.

tonight, i had dinner with a handsome soldier.

"everyday, i pray that the most perfect person for me will come along."

he looked so sad when he heard that and replied, "if you truly love me, you would pray that I am that perfect person for you."

it was something you said that once.

and, i will.
