OneRepublic- All the right moves {MUSIC VIDEO}

Don't we just Love OneRepublic?



The song talks about a known issue, how people seem all perfect from the outside and we go along with them until we discover that they are the same people who bring us down. This can be implied by the dancing crowd; wearing masks on their faces to present the idea that true intentions are actually hidden.

Book of the day: “Can you keep a secret?” By: Sophie Kinsella

I wanted something light to read, something that isn’t complicated or needs an over thinking. Something…. what word fits the topic properly... Witty? , yes .. Something witty, fun and enjoyable. I normally step away from covers that look so daman girly! but this book was fun to read. “How Embarrassing!” and “Please don’t let it come true!” are probably things that you are going to say while reading Kinsella amusing novel.

Everyone has secrets, not that huge probably, but those little humiliating secrets that you always wish that no one knows about, except of course if it was a stranger, someone that you are never going to meet again... at least that’s what Emma Corrigan thought! A twenty-something years old girl who is determined to make something out of herself, but it’s not that easy. After an embarrassing meeting, she heads back to London, but when the plane faces some clear-air turbulence she starts to freak out... spilling all of her secrets to the man next to her on the plane. Later however, she comes face to face with him.. a man who knows every single thing about her life!.


It is fairly easy to imagine the comical expressions on the characters faces because Kinsella’s writing style is so smooth to the extend that you feel like you are watching a romantic comedy movie. The only thing that confused me about the novel is the fact that Emma found that not knowing what “NATO” stands for was embarrassing. Alright people, I never knew what NATO was until reading the novel and looking it up! “An international organization for peace and defense”. BIG DEAL! :P

Resort dayz!

Beach!!

Although I adore my Riyadh, however being in big cities can be exhusting sometimes with its main super annoying thing: TRAFFIC!.

Beach!!

That's what we wanted. We don't get to see the beach much unless we are traveling somewhere abroad, however.. we weren’t planing on going anywhere far in the eid week , that's why we decided on reserving a vella in a comfortable resort at AlKhobar and enjoy our time as much as possible. The nearer the better. We always forget the fact that Saudi Arabia actually has beaches!

Nights are the best!

Wow how many were we? I honestly can't remember.. aunts and cousins and sisters!, And for some reason, we banned males from attending :P Having the resort all for ourselves and making as much damage as possible! We enjoyed our time by riding motorcycles, Jetski and flying Kites! It was a lot of fun running around and doing God knows what. Fresh air does that to you sometimes... and I guess many of us need to do that from time to time. Altough we didn't actually spend alot of days there, but being able to have this sort of break from this social traffical life was enough.....

At least for the time being!
