I miss you little sis!!!

Rasha went to Thailand yesterday and I cannot stand it one minute. I feel like crying all the time

. I try to pretend I'm fine and normal but inside I feel dead. I CAN'T wait for her to come back.

Anyway ever since we were little if we had to travel apart we'd make a letter of all the stuff we did at that time just like a diary and give it to eachother. It's fun to read on the plane unless you're the one left behind then it makes things alot worse for you hehehe.

It has been a long time since we were apart so writing a diary letter was a lot harder this time.

Rasha's letters are always very neat and well thought through while mine are messy and weird...

Most of the things we write are not understandable, they're not in codes but I guess because they're inside jokes or things we don't need to explain to eachother...nobody would understand them. We usually draw comic styled stories of the events that happened to us but a picture for each story.

From time to time we like to look back at our earlier letters because they're hilarious and we were really weird back then but a lot cooler than we are now (assuming we are cool hehehe)

I think this idea started back when we were chipmunks, whenever my father came back from a business trip all my siblings and I would make him greetings cards. It was lots of fun so I guess Rasha and I just never stopped hehehe.

My father, mother, uncle, brother and Rasha all went to this trip and I miss them all...hope their stay is filled with happiness and may Allah protect them and send them back safely...I LOVE YOU LA FAMILIA!!!

Seven Brides For Seven Brothers

Today my sisters Mia, Rasha and I attended a ladies coffee and classic movie morning at our local cinema theatre for the first time.

I used to get emails of those movie gatherings every month since two years probably but I never had the energy to go cause they would show current movies and I only enjoy watching classics nowadays. A few days ago though, I got an email with this in it:

"CLASSIC MOVIES?" I said "count me in!!!" <--- I didn't really

My sisters also love classic movies and appreciate that era so we were all pleased with this.

I didn't like the arrangement of the place, it felt like any other day going to the cinema...nothing special. Actually everything was disorganized and I spilled coffee on my hand, clothes and the floor (YES ofcourse it's their fault

). Anyway I thought there would be like a seating area where everybody can sit and chat before the movie (since we had to be there a half hour before the movie starts) but NO we all STOOD talking.

I know everything I'm saying just sounds sarcastic...yes it's meant to be...a little.

OK the movie was Seven Brides For Seven Brothers starring Jane Powell and a bunch of others I don't know:

When the movie started my sisters and I laughed so hard cause it was a DVD and it had the 'Play Movie' thing that you click...how embarrassing

Anyway enough making fun of the organizers hehehe let's make fun of the movie...just kidding...the movie wasn't that bad actually.

It's not the best choice to start off a classic movie monthly event but I guess it was the organizers' favourite.

Anywho the movie's about a man who gets married and then his brothers want to do the same so their brother's wife teaches them how to "land" one.

What I liked about the movie is how the man and his wife have completely different mind sets and how each perceives the same context differently. It seemed at the end though that everybody else learned how to appreciate the other gender except for him. I wasn't satisfied with how he reacted at the end...I needed more from him.

The movie is a musical so there were a lot of cheesy bits here and there, though some complimented the movie others TOTALLY destroyed it.

Finally I'll give the movie a 7 out of 10 only because the plot is not that bad and kind of funny...and I loved the dance scene at the party.

My overall rating for this event is 7 also only because the choice of movie was wrong, the place was disorganized and the movie was a DVD...I didn't rate it so low because I don't like giving low ratings (don't know why) and I had my sweet sisters with me so that's definately a plus!
