Thank you!

This entire week has been a blast. Been treated at the Crowne Plaza, Hilton and had some great fun times with all my new friends.

In short: spas, gyms, zumba classes, becoming a nurse to samiyah, then babysitting with samiya :P, playing poker with popsicle sticks, grand mosque, souk visits, disney, breaking bad, coop, lulu, cab driver recipes, and a lot of other things.

The fun stuff aside, I don't even feel like I am turning 23. Well they say age is just a number right... but to be honest birthdays are those days that are special only because of the people around us. I miss home a lot right now.  For the last 4 years, Kedi , Sis, mom and dad always surprised me. The boys even did that last year and boom now its a whole new cup of tea. I know at 12 o clock today there wont be no sister saying happy bday or mommy blessing me. But at the same time, I am so thank-full for all the love and support from my family. Tomorrow I will go have dinner with a new family that I've formed overseas. People whom I now trust and I know will have my back.

It's an emotional time of the year to be alone, but then not really alone. To miss those I love, but to love what's here. I am so thankful for my parents and sistah to have been solid and have always supported me. I am so thankful of canim and habibi. You both are special and life wouldn't be the same. And most of all I am in awe and I am so blessed to be part of 197. Without you all, DMS wouldn't be the same.

Teesh, your like always there! Thank you :D
Cath - your mommmy to us all!
Law - your like the tech hub, and also umm the nerd check!

Last but not the least, have to thank ludu baby, R, Har, Arj, Pete, Chi, Martini, Aria, and all those that talk to me on a day to week basis. You make me feel loved and keep me in the loop always. I love you all and you are so special!

So this 23rd Bday, I thank the great one for blessing me with all the special people in my life! I hope to be wise, to love always, to be strong and to always have fortitude!
