the potpurri or wateva its called, had some nice feather looking leaf

i really liked it so i picked it out, n kept it on the table n took a close up shot.

fake stuff aint that bad, ofcourse they aren't as gd as the original is.

i really like this shot the orange background contrastin with the green leaf making it stand out.

these are sort of marbles or small glass pebbles, u can buy them at ikea. anyways i like these cuz they look like brown glassy drops really cute :3

another one of these

and again

now this looks like a drop of oil,

these are the ropes that tie us together, wat crap! well my lamp is made of these ropes that goes in a cylindrical shape resting upon four steel roots. i used its lighting to take most of the pictures.

n this is taken horizontally

wen i'm too lazy to get up from the sofa u r always there for me to eat u.

wow lotsa them! although its not that very gr8 of a pic

pistachio

its the same pistachio but taken from another angle

i just found a vase in my living it is filled with sort of jelly preserving all these dry flowers, really cool. although i had to use alot of photoshop to remove the reflection i wish i had this lens link but then first i will need a slr to use it

i have no idea which plant it is, probably sea weed that is pretty wide, but wateva, really nice pic

i think this is supposed to be wheat

pretty flower dun u think?

the lemon law! (comes in this show called 'how i met ur mother')

the red parrot feather n thats it

i would like to apologise in advance to all the indians if they are offended by my post, but its not about them. Just a wakeup call to all pakis.

so it hit me today that none of my friends listen to paki music except those paki artists who have gone off to india for publicity. Y is it that our own paki ppl dunno bout their paki music unless n until it has been released in an indian film! i feel very angry at the fact that all our artists have to leave pakistan n go to india for publicity. There is no music, forget music no media industry in pakistan. If you take a survey n ask all the paki ppl wat channels do they watch i m sure more than half would be watchin starplus... (i dun watch paki nor indian channels, n i'll justify myself later)
my friend oneday was listenin to my mp3 player and asked me in a shocked voice "wat is this? who are all these ppl? Junaid Jamshed , Hadiqa Kiani etc wat kinda songs do u listen to rabia?" i was very frustrated by the remark n replied "well unlike u atleast i m not ignorant about my country! I dun wanna slave my ears to those senseless indian junk" pakistan has lots of gr8 music the problem is no one knows bout it, thats cuz all the paki ppl are brainwashed by the indian channels. i agree that everyone listens to english music since that is the international language, but other than that ppl do listen to music of their own language.

i dun understand y? y do they watch it? i mean if compare the 2, the stories are almost the same, a woman who is married or is gonna get married n is having problems with life. the only thing is indians are more dramatic than pakis actors m actresses, maybe thats wat attracts the paki girls. then for guys, well there are indian stations here that promote indian music unlike pakistanis, then movies, yup most of the singles that are released by bands or famous artists are promoted by movies. unforunately, i have never even heard of paki film in my life except for maulajutt (old punjabi movie) which my bro coincidently found on net n downloaded it. We then sat watched n laughed at the poor direction n funny story n charectors n mostly cuz they screamed so loud! but even if u compare it with the movies made i can assure u that u will see no difference, y? film quality bad as before, u can see the slight white noise on the screen n scratches. i doubt the fact that cinemas play the dvd versions since i know that they dun even make one. then the sound, very sharp n unclear like an old radio. direction n storyline is poor, ugly ppl, women that need to go on a diet are put on screen as heroines, dancing is more like mad ppl runnin round the garden, further more, y do the director's allow stuff thats not even part of our culture etc. n The main thing, the music suks, the quality is just soo bad that its as if the song is being played from an old cassette.

so basically the media industry in pakistan is stil the same where it probably 20 years ago. n Y is that? well this could be taken as a main national issue in pakistan which is education. yes ppl have idea as to wat is wat, they have no exposure. most of them are very close minded n half of them are posers who try to act cool, wen they are actually braindead. no one appreciates n knows a true sense about anything. their lives sound like a joke, there are no universities that could provide anythin in media or music. Girls love to be doctors and guys love to be engineers thats the basic thing that is stuck in all the south asian parents. And those who do go abroad to study dont want to come back, y, well thats pretty obvious better pay, safety, n better place for settle in with more educated ppl. So y would a person sacrifice his perfect life just to make effort that would just go futile. i wouldn't, i cant say i m patriotic enough.

All this problems could be solved with better strategic plans applied that could minimize these problems over a period of time. But wat can i say, i read it somewhere on net that pakistan maybe smaller than india but it is more corrupted than it and to begin with it u can take our goverment for example. its filled up with selfish money absorbing politicians, all of them with corrupted minds, deceived by soo many of them that the ppl dun even know who to trust anymore. This is our goverment. This is Pakistan.

In the end, music is just one problem that could be used to show pakistan's development. like my friend Sabiha says "Hindi ho ya Urdu, do no aik hi jaisay to phir kya farak padh ta hai?"
"Who cares if its Hindi or Urdu, they are both similar n we can understand it. wat difference does it make?" again i say...

ignorance

well yesterday was a pretty hectic day for us (especially for me since i woke up at 8 am n got to sleep at 2:30am)
yesterday was totally chaotic, the house was totally upside down everyone runnin to the bathrooms n here n there... i wanted to take my braces out today (its high time i did!) but wen i went to the dentist(in the afternoon) we were an hour early, n my bro wasn't willin to wait nor to come again.
so we went home sadly, n as we stepped outta the elevator, i saw the elevator opposite to ours closin infront, in which my 2 sis were there n one them called out my name, wel its cuz they were goin to the salon, she called my bro to tell that she was waitin for me at the entrance of our buildin n blah blah, so i went got my hair fixed. since my hair is cut in layers, she gave me curls that were flyin outwards, n so my hair had lotsa volume! with the house in a mess, n our faces painted with makeup, we finally left our house

the place was quit extravagent n classy, there were warm lights everywhere yet the chill from the ac completely froze us...brrr. so we sat, and we sat and we sat. we had a little chit chat with our 2nd cousins (cousins from our dad's sides our really old, n so their children are our age) but other than that it was pretty borin, i was anxious to see my sis n how she would look!! then the groom n his party arrived, his tie matched my sister's dress (pale pink) n later she arrived but wasn't sent directly to the main hall, course not she has to make a grand entrance! lolzzz she arrived with my eldest bro, so as soon as he stepped in the hall we knew that she had arrived. we asked her where she was n went to see her, she looked sooooooooo pretty, almost as if she had come to a weddin! but with less makeup n jewellry. so she did a little photoshoot. then with all the bros infront, the bride in centre n sisters at the back (i think the sis should be in th front cuz we r smaller than guys!!) the camera man lit the bride's parade as the walked in slowly.
after that it was pretty boring, she went n sat on the chair with the groom. n then we sat n sat. later we took some photos, they exchanged rings, received lotsa gifts n blessings from relatives. n the most wierd part of the engagment now comes, there was a weddin cake!? i mean wth there already had been alotta drama n now this lemme remind u this is not a weddin but an engagement. so the weddin cake was exactly like u see on tv but instead of a knife they had to cut with this huge sword thing, which makes this whole scene all the more absurd. well, they somehow had cut the cake. n later the stupid waiters got orange juices, n the stupid camera director guy was tellin my sis, to make the guy sip from her drink she from his. n my sis was like =.= n i was like O_o, but they didn't do it since my sis was already abit freaked out by the wierd wedin style poses she had to make with the photographer. we ate food, after which ppl started to leave, n the cake was served after half the ppl had left, i tried the caked n it tasted of the flavour i detest the most, vanilla. the cake peice was piled with vanilla cream, with very little cake in it. i ate the cake n not the cream. we again took some pics. watched strangers as the bid their goodbyes to my parents n the other party.
i was really mad at my other sis, everyday stinkin day even durin my exams she used to talk constantly bout her professors n wat happend n crap! now today wen i needed it the most as so i wouldn't get bored, she sat there beside me stiff as a board. wen asked for the reason she replied, that the university was over n she has no new stories to tell (i would have gladly listen to the old ones too)
so we left our house at 8pm to the hotel, n came back home at 2 am. i was sooooooo sleepy my sis (erum, who got engaged) walked into the building with her sandles in her hand, her feet must be really achin from that 3 inch heel. we girls never wore thin or fat based heels, so it was quite uncomfortable. today mornin i just looked at the amount of gifts she received n i got pretty jealous. so my sis was gonna get thrown outta the house, n yesterday it was made official. i m gonna miss her wen she leaves her bossiness n cynical personality irritated me everyday, but then its hard to say goodbye to someone u have known all ur life. (i have a pic of her holdin me wen i must 1 yr old, i had really chubby cheeks with small hair that had natural spikes comin outta my head)
since it was the first time my family had to organize a party or somethin, it was quite a bit of mess, but now i m sure my mom is gonna get pretty expert in the comin years.
oh btw, the guy has a pretty cool personality, he is cool minded, often jokes around n is free n friendly unlike most of the adults u find out here who are soo conservative. n my other sis hadn't met the guy until today, n that too he came searchin to her due to his curiosity, i felt really bad n sorry that my sis was so freakin shy. phew so glad all this crap is over, i wonder how its gonna be on the weddin...i dun wanna think bout it.

yay so school is over...n i have no plan watsoever of going out with my friends today cuz my mum n my sis have ganged up on me in n not lettin me go so there
anyways...today is just so different! i dunno i dun feel relieved as i should be instead it just seems...ok
i dunno its kinda wierd but i have stopped lookin foward to holidays maybe cuz my brain has finally realized after 9 years that there is nothin special that happens durin holidays for me! yah pretty slow, i know... i feel odd not feelin that motivation anymore, ppl mite call me wierd but its true, well i just wanted the exams to get over but school hmmm...
well, speakin of school since i m in the press council ms amelita has requested us if we could come durin the holidays just for a few days so that we could complete a presentation... i like to rite sometimes, but to be honest i dun feel like comin to school durin holidays...omg the irony i m seriously cracked up!
but come on i would rather prefer picking up dishes than goin to school n gettin bored with no friend to actually talk to. i gave amelita my house no, n now wen i m home i told my sis bout it she says that i should go since i will get bored in the house....O_o no way
if amelita calls up i will tell her that my family is goin abroad for vacation so there! but if someone else picks up....hmm i'd rather not think bout it, but then theres also a chance that no one mite pik up her phone since we are too lazy to get up n get the cordless (n its even worse wen they are not charged) probability, worst chapter in maths or so says my bro

so gr 9 is officially over, n onto gr 10
i still cant believe i m gonna give a board exam next, i'm so BIG! :D
i still feel that i m in gr 6 or gr 7! (well actually they have started fakin being big n stuff so i dun really know if i should say gr 6 or 7)

happy summer holidays!

oh btw my sis is gettin engaged this upcoming week! so loooooooads of shoppin has to be done n the house is a mess... her going-to-be fiance is ugly, charcoal black and has a deep scary voice. that is all i could make out wen i met him for the first time. wen i was told that he was the ONE, i was quite shocked (litteraly had a heartattack) i mean my sis is fair(pale), very slim n good lookin then y? his personality mite be good...i dunno

but i have noticed lately that most of the paki couples i see outside the guys are usually dark n ugly, n the women r pretty...that is just so wierd! GUYS STOP GOING OUT ALOT N SPEND SOME TIME IN THE HOUSE WATCHIN TV! (do a little girly stuff so u can make urself a little admirable, n girly stuff as in being not "gay" but havin a litle interest in the latest fashion)
