Good times and Bad / Love him not his Wallet

I am free now but hardly feel so. The burden of bad papers is weighing down on me. Each has been worse than the last. To add insult to the injury, my article didn’t get published in Dawn though the editor said they liked it and WOULD publish it. I feel dejected.

I have to send in the Unilever application today and don’t feel braggy at all. I wonder why companies and universities ask you to write these egoistic essays. They are a blow to modesty.

Little refusals do affect one after all.

Moving on to better things I had a blast with my buddies yesterday. The fact that I had two papers the next day some how did not prevent me from having fun :D

My friends are a talented bunch. ZT is doing her ACCA, Bee’s a textile designer, Ash’s a dentist and Lucky is the lead vocalist, Hive o 5ive. Incidentally the band’s Marketing Manager is yours truly.

The talk turned to guys as it invariably does if you’ve studied in girls only all your life :) My friends feel men and infidelity go together. I disagree.

It’s the way you make him feel. If you cherish him and nurture him, make him feel special, he’ll never go astray. But if you nag and discourage or are suspicious of his every move, he’s bound to feel claustrophobic.

But there are always exceptions. Guys do cheat but then so do girls.

Furthermore we, girls have this tendency to measure a guy’s bank balance and not his heart. Money is all very good but are you gonna spend the whole night talking to his money or cracking jokes with it as you take a walk in the rain? The little pleasures in life don’t need money. How will a guy feel about your relationship if he knows you married him for money? And that the person that he is doesnt mean anything to you?

Love him not his wallet.

We’re in love with the feeling of being in love. True love happens when that feeling of love fades away – and you still stick with each other.

Every moment is not magic. It’s up to you to make ‘em magical :)

“And among His signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves that you may dwell in tranquillity with them and He has put love and mercy between your hearts: verily in that are signs for those who reflect.” (Surah Al Rum 30:21)

Midterms at IBA

Midterms at IBA pass in woeful remembrance of n-1. The freshies entering now just CANNOT comprehend the incredible beauty of n-1, of life giving you second chances. You could flunk an hourly and still manage to get an A with no one but you the wiser.

Alas all good things must come to an end.

We’ve all heard of the one-night stand with books before exams ;) But I have a new philosphy. I pick up my books the day OF my exam. I crave the thrill of horror that courses through as you realize that the course is huge and there is no possible way you can cram it in one hour. Nevertheless you try.

It’s not good to indulge in risky behaviour but it sure is a whole lot of FUN :D
