which flavour would u like ur cake to be?(a rare short post, btw)
Re: I am not a happy camper these days [split]
Okay, I think I might invest in the creams as well just to make sure Ive got it all covered.
Aisha, Im stressed these days. Ive got a ton to do and it feels like not enough time. You know what I mean? I miss Mina and our long discussions…lol. How is Sense and Sensibility coming along for you? Do you like it? I loved it…so romantic.
I am very anxious and I know why…my designer is due to come back from Pak with my bridal in a few days now. Im so nervous about it…hope it turns out well and Im happy with it. Ive gotten clothes from her before and she has always been true to her word but that thread in Wedding a while ago that talked about Salinah Warda - the designer - has me so worried. I just hope and pray it all goes well and there are no problems. The thing is, I didnt pay for my bridal, my fiance did. 
I dont want to waste his money and make it so I have to get something totally different because this didnt work out. Oh, that will be horrible! If I have to find something last minute!!! Can you see how bothered I am? This has me worried, my apartment, buying a house, a car, furniture and the wedding. Im so surprised my face hasnt erupted into a pepperoni pizza by now!!! I will be officially insane by the time the wedding rolls around. Or am I being paranod here? LOL…they say as soon as the wedding is over…girls go into this lull…everything is done and life is TOO calm. I wonder what that feels like? 
Anyway, how is life Aisha? How are things on your end? How is the job hunting going? Mine is blah at best!
Reha,
Just because one person had a bad experience with a designer....doesn't mean that you will. Sometimes people word their bad experiences in a generalized way which makes other think that the same will definitely happen to them. And we know that's not the case. Your fears are normal, i've seen brides go through them. But the nice thing is that they say the majority of things we worry about rarely happen. And that's usually true. I know your dress will be just fine. And if it needs some nips/tucks/alterations here and there.....they'll be done. It's kind of like dealing with a project at work.....it's stressful but you miraculously manage to get things done when under pressure. Pressure makes people perform, lol and many work even better.
You are so lucky, you have a loving family who is so supportive of you. Girl, if you see any issues in that dress and feel that it needs to be adjusted here and there.....you've got your mom and everyone to help you out. And they might grumble........but they'll do it..........because this is about YOUR BIG DAY.....weddings are really mostly about the bride........and they will help you look your best! Things tend to fall in place under pressure:) That dress will look beautiful! Keep in touch with the designer if you can and try to get a feel about things if it will help keep you calmer. Reha, I've seen many girls go through paying for the wedding, buying a car, a home......and it all falls into place. You're not alone in this:) You're going to be fine. Plus, life's problems are fun to tackle when you have the support of an understanding fiacne and family.
I don't know what the after wedding "lull" feels like. It doesn't sound like a bad idea, lol. After all the exhausing prewedding preparations and the aching facial muscles from posing and smiling for the cameras......the calm "lull" should seem like a welcome break! LOOL. KWIM? A brief but much needed and immediate calming "lull" is a good thing. And then the rest of the journey becomes an adventure with the honey moon, and traveling together, and buying/decoarting a home together, entertaining friends as a couple. You'll have so many exciting things to look forward to Reha after the lull:)
I've been slacking off on the job hunt process. I always found it tedious....and have to really motivate myself to get back into sending resumes, and waiting to hear back, and the nerve-racking interviews, and possible rejections. So you think "money" would be good motivator to start the job search, lol???? I think it would be.
You know what? You were right about Sense and Sensibility. I really like it so far...and I'm only in the beginning of the book.....and it captured my attention fairly quickly (like Pride and Prejudice). We'll see how it turns out. It might even become my fave after P&P.

Congratulations Mina and we wish you the entire alphabet from above, lol! Hope you're having fun visiting the theme parks in FL!
Re: I am not a happy camper these days [split]
Congratulations Mina! May you be blessed with a long life full of love, happiness & success (i'A).. :)
Btw ladies, the alphabet above was brilliant! ;)
Re: I am not a happy camper these days [split]
^Thanks chipkali.
I was watching a pakistani drama today and a couple of the actresses were wearing the thin wire nose rings. You know, the ones that sit close/hug your nose. I think they look really and I've tried wearing them a few times in the past and i guess it doesn't look right on me. Or I haven't bought the right kind. I can't pull it off! And i wish i could! So I'm just stuck with wearing a stud. My favorite is the tiny steel ball that I'm wearing now. Other times it's a diamond. I wish i had the kinda nosy that could pull off a nose ring.
Re: I am not a happy camper these days [split]
Ladies, Ive been so sick...so miserable...my posts are short and I can barely keep my eyes open so thats why Ive been a bit out of it lately.
Yesterday, I actually had to go to the ER because my temperature sky rocketed and I freaked out. I was delirious all night and kept mumbling things...it was bad.
I am now taking Amoxicillin and Ibuprofen periodically throughout the day...its horrible. Ive never been this sick Aisha...never. Well, I had strep throat when I was 14 but thats about it. Next year, Im getting flu shots so this doesnt happen again, ever!
Pray that I get better...Im so tired of being sick this year...this is my 3rd or 4th flu of the season...now its a full blown infection...feel horrible.
