And today’s standing ovation, medal, smiles and roses goes to Dessange in Adliye for saving my week, my day and of course my hairstyle. I had an appointment with my hairdresser there determined to correct the mistake of the previous one (not working in Dessange). She did a great job and as I went to pay, I did it with a smile even though a wash,haircut and blow dry + tip usually comes up to around 20 BD ooonly the manager of the salon told me they won’t charge me because they thought it was only a correction of my other haircut aaaah hamdulillah for such people. I thought it was really sweet 
. I guess I must have looked so bad they felt pity for me.
Today was just a good day. Things went smoothly and I didn’t have the typical anger that I have these days.
Hamdulillah.
Previous post has been taken off for a while. Those of you who read it will understand why. I think it will probably bite me in the backside if I don’t watch it. I want to thank you all for your comments. I really appreciate your kind words and support.

….life here is slowly wearing me down. The last nine months has really taken a toll on my attitude, my strength, my patience, my beliefs and my personality. Being a single mother of three children with no support close to you is hard as it is without having people trying to exploit the situation.
I used to wonder how some people could be so negative, bitter and fierce but find that I am pretty much like that myself these days. I have developed a dislike for a lot of people and have no patience with them whatsoever. I can go from being happy to a state of rage in seconds if someone crosses my path in an inconsiderate way.
I have been patient with people, I have given them the benefit of doubt and I have reminded myself how I am brought up to treat people but I feel that wherever you go people want something from you, there are no what I call normal personal relationships. Everyone wants something from you whether it’s a date, a free ride,money or whatever.. It’s really too much.
When I am in Sweden I can get impatient with peoples stiff ways and their whiney attitudes as they complain about ridiculous things (is it really worth crying about how the neighbour closes his door?). They really do not understand how good their lives are over there and how safe lives they have. Here it is every man and woman for himself. You have to fight your way through and no one gives a shit by the end of the day whether you make it or not. Yes, my friends this is the bitter truth and you all knew it before I did since I have a disturbing, naive trait ( so I been told plenty of times) that has stayed with me until now. I always wanted to believe that people are good, that they don’t lie nor are looking to hurt you or use you. Unfortunately, this is not the case and I really can’t be asked to elaborate because I feel this is just the way life is down here (really not dissing your country Bahrainis). I am trying to keep up my spirit but quite frankly….
I’m tired of everything and I feel my strenght is leaving me.

Today is my birrrrthday and I have been given the best birthday present ever!
Barack Obama have been elected president of the United States Of America and aaah I feel like weeping!
I am so happy and I wish him and the people of “America” a great four years and hopefully more years to come. I hope that this will be something positive for not only the “Americans” but for the rest of the world. Hopefully the world will be a little more peaceful now and hopefully Obama will spend more time working on what needs to be addressed inside the United States and not only lining his pockets like a certains someone.
GREEEEAAAAAAAAAAAT NEWWWWSS!!!
HAAAAMMDULILLAH!!
May God give him a long, healthy life (and may intelligence protect him)!
Sing Halleluja!!
Now I will go and watch Obama’s speech and cry a little!
