Yes.
Completely.
It was all jokes and good fun and I was wondering about how my daughters cousin who's a new baby boy would be celebrated on his birthday?
I was only making fun of course. In reality I couldn't care less.
And they were like "Laaysh el3n9ryaa? Y3ny wa elbanat shlon?"
So I was like "3addy I still didn't properly celebrate H's birthday bs Inshalla its happening."
and they were like "Laa e7naa ma nfrg bnt wala walad...o mdry aish." seriously shda5aal!! Excuse me this is coming from people who ridicule my female cousins who have studied abroad, drive they're on cars! Get a career before getting married!! Come on!! I know they're sexist freaks! And racist as well. I never call a black person the n word, and they do all the time!! And I'm sexist o afarg!! I couldn't reply because this was all said in a very humorous fashion so of course I couldn't get on my oh so serious attitude. I'd be a spoil sport o of course end up being in the wrong. I mean I was like coz he's the only boy and suddenly I'm a sexist!! I grew up as the eldest between girls! I don't have any brothers! O mafrgaat 3ndy!
Screw you.
Y3ny seriously gutted elyom!! more like speared. Who are you to judge!!
I hate venting here bs 9j got out of hand today, I was ripped through my very belief!! :(

Ode to Audrey.
I have always adored Audrey Hepburn, ever since I was little and I'd see her face in posters and magazine I'd think "Wow, she's so pretty."
Back then I didn't realize what an icon she was, until a friend of mine came by my house with cake and an old "My fair lady" tape, I was hooked ever since.
I used to buy everything I could with her name on it, I remember there was a Christie's auction event, and they had her things on display to be auctioned.
I remember telling my dad I had to have a piece of her, "She's not totally gone!" I remember thinking, I was so hopeful in getting something that I could treasure from such an amazing woman's life.
Anyhow In the end I didn't get anything.
But hey! I still got the movies right?!
Needless to say The Givenchy gown Audrey wore in Breakfast At Tiffany's sold for 1Million$.

There was a girl. -Paris-
She was away for the summer, her darling husband has shipped her off to spend a week in Paris where she could recuperate after her fathers death.
She was an entity of sadness, her eyes losing they're fiery spark, she was used to these streets, used to the many boutiques that were placed along the sidelines, and the ridiculously priced items within.
She had that one.
She had that.
Oh, and that one as well.
She continued to survey her usual surroundings for anything new.
And that was when she spotted him.
It couldn't be.
Dressed down in jeans and a black t-shirt, he looked just like she remembered.
Only he looked taller now...some how more arresting.
He bit his cigarette between his teeth as always, looking up at one of the more upscale boutiques contemplating a dress he saw, his hands tucked in his pockets in serene disposal.
No doubt to give a love interest of his.
She was just about to leave to tiptoe such an awkward encounter, but he had turned and she was lost in him once more.
His expression was silent boredom as he eyed her but then recognition flickered in the depth of those beautiful eyes of his, and he turned fully towards her taken aback.
Oh god!
She gulped back a sob as his eyes dancing around her sarcastically, registering that she had gotten what she wanted after all, but she couldn't hold back her tears.
For the world was dark around her,
her one family beneath the hot ground and -him a link to her past was here in front of her, in the present.
She felt old, bed ridden, and weak to step out of this haunting shadow alone.
She ached at the memories then.
Ached for what she had let go.
She gave a shuddering sob and turned away, not seeing his softening gaze through the haze of tears.
She fled.

Happy Birthday, A.
Oh my love, how you've grown. Little A.
I knew you in the gardens, where you hid behind bushes, I knew you in the kitchen where you stole my cookies, I knew you in my room when you borrowed all my clothes.
Oh little A. How you've grown.
I miss you, my darling, your all of twenty two, how a number is so lucky to have you knocking on its door.
I love you as much as I have said "I hate you." And I did say it all through my years with you.
A younger sister of mine, your silky hair falling over your eyes, your eyes sparkling with laughter, your math books all in tatters with your careless drawings.
Oh naughty one.
You were the sun, you shined so brightly I hated it, for everyone knew me through you, everyone said "Hey! Your A's sister, aren't you?!" And I'd boil with anger at that.
HaHa.
But how can you help it? when I stood in your shadow, and refused to move out of it, when I sat in my room reading my novels where you were out making real adventures?
You were brave enough to fall in love, A.
I was afraid of it.
You were out before me, you were under the door, flying a punch at anyone who'd wrong me.
You were there.
I remember. You still cared.
And now your off to see the world, no one to stop you.
And yet.
That child in you died a little hasn't it? So have I,A.
The child in me is fallen, wrapped in a cage.
The world is ugly, A.
Keep me young.
You remember when you said it?
"I don't want to grow up!"
Well guess what A! So do I!
I want to be here, I want us to laugh, and run, and play.
I don't want to be grounded anymore.
Take me with you, A.
Don't go.
Don't go.
I knew you in the gardens, where you hid behind bushes, I knew you in the kitchen where you stole my cookies, I knew you in my room when you borrowed all my clothes.

Take me with you, A.
Don't go.
Don't go.
Nightly headaches.
I sat down today, trying not to think of you.
Oh greatest of worries.
I cannot speak. Or look. Or Listen.
I cannot concentrate or focus.
You are everywhere.
In the deepest darkness of my head.
In the deepest bowls of my heart.
In the pit of my stomach.
I tire.
I try.
I want to know the answer.
Oh wish I may, grant the wish I make today.
I want a book of answers.
Of spoken messages of truth.
I want to wonder no longer.
I want to know the truth.
Will it be grand? My future?
Would I fly to the moon?
Oh greatest worries, ease my pain.
Ease this head you bounce on and cease.
Wish I may, grant this wish I make today.
Make me happy.
Make me gay.
Greatest of worries, go and disarray.
PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE.

Cousin W
I hereby proclaim that I have the most destructive, crazy ass cousin on the planet.
No, I am not kidding, this post is a 100% true.
She's a maniac.
Cousin W, was always on the sidelines, she'd play with us girls for the sake of it, "There's nothing better to do." she'd say, but when there's an outing or her brothers are back into town to treat her, she'd fling us against the wall and run out skipping.
She was the girl with the messy hair, watchful eyes and the tell tail tongue, she'd always make up things about us and report it to the grown ups.
Back then, we did not know who the culprit was, for we had this idea that "5aly knows everything. A little bird told him." A little conniving ,treacherous bird that was cousin W.
And then Cousin W became 15, UH OH.
Yes, now all the boys we were crushing on Cousin W knew all about it and would run to Mama, "Shoofy banatch 3amty...mayst7oon!"
And Mama would come scream at us like its judgment day and grounded us until we wept, but Cousin W always stood by in the shadows laughing.
Now as a grown up I know her better than I knew her then.
Evil.
Now since I'm all married and settled she's off to look for a husband of her own but to no use, for Cousin W was not pretty, not smart, and not popular. She never changed her style, stuck to her prim -This is right- baggy jeans, floral shirts, and prim flats, she never changed a shade of lipstick, never painted her nails, never even dyed her hair.
And when we did all that we were...
what did she call us last time?
Oh yes. "Byaaasrr."
Cousin W always paraded about how the boys fell hands and feet at her incoming, many had plead for her hand in marriage but she had refused them because her highness had outranked them all.
She always described herself as "Jamaaly mala w900f!" and "Fdaaitny."
In the midst of tens of gorgeous girls that watched her with inward envy speaking the same thought in they're heads "Ya laaaytny 3ndy thara mn thegathaa"
When a boy was following us in the mall, Cousin W would always state with the utmost confidence, "Ma 6a7at 3ayna mn yom shafny!! Lw3 chbdy wa ohwa yla7gny!" ><
And the rest of us would sigh and walk on, there was no end to this.
Last night I was conversing with another cousin about her and found out another tidbit about Cousin W.
The two were in a wedding when a lady came by to speak to my other cousin, "Hessaa mashalla 9ayra sh7lwch tyaneneeen!" and when the lady passed them, Cousin W turned to her and said "T7acheech inty o elgmaar yamch?! Hathy akeed yanat!"
I fell down laughing at the story, this girl is unbelievable.
I rather doubt that anyone's got such a character in the family. Consider yourself lucky.
