I am a BubbleGum Club Fan

I love these Bubblegum characters, they are so cute.  My printer is out of ink, but I am going to get some ink to print the bookmark tomorrow.  There are some super cute bookmarks, invites, posters and door hangers to choose from.

The fish had a wish


The flower said, “I wish I was a tree,”
The tree said, “I wish I could be
A different kind of tree,
The cat wished that it was a bee,
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky,
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea.

And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.
And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.

And the flower
Would be its offering
Of love to the desert.
And the desert,
So dry and lonely,
That the critters all
Appreciate the effort.

Et le jackalope a dit
Je voudrais être un yeti
Pour voler dans la nuit
Et m’en aller loin d’ici
Mais le yeti a dit
Je voudrais être un monstre marin
Pour pouvoir rentrer dans la mer
De tous les requins.

And the rattlesnake said,
“I wish I had hands so
I could hug you like a man.”
And then the cactus said,
“But don’t you understand,
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That’ll stab you like a thousand knives.
A hug would be nice,
But hug my flower with your eyes.”

The flower said, “I wish I was a tree,”
The tree said, “I wish I could be
A different kind of tree,
The cat wished that it was a bee,
The turtle wished that it could fly
Really high into the sky,
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea.

And in the sea there is a fish,
A fish that has a secret wish,
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it.

She’s a doll

There is a reason why I haven’t updated the blog for so long, there always is :-) ).  I finally met the little person who was living inside my belly for 9 months and kicking my insides like there was no tommorrow.  I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl who is a miniature version of myself and has the sweetest grin ( even though it is still a reflex, it is as cute as hell ).  I am trying to adjust to my new life even though I was mentally ready for it, when the baby finally arrived it was nothing like I ever thought it would be.  It has also made me have so much more appreciation towards my mum.

I am a princess

disney_princess3.jpgYesterday, I stumbled upon Princess Diaries by chance on TV and watched it.  I know it s a pre-teen movie and in theory I am way too old  and intellectual for that kind of movie, but I am a sucker for Disney movies.  Every little girl has always wanted to be a princess in a fairy tale especially a Disney one,  where life is filled with colorful characters, evil characters are ugly, the prince is always handsome and the ending is always happy.  Come to think of it, even big girls want to be a Disney princess.   All through my childhood I have been mesmerized and fascinated by the different stories and back drops of the animated characters,  on a deeper note though they all seem to be a positive influence on girls unlike some of the violent cartoons of today.

Cinderella manages to find her prince even though she lives a tough life after losing her father and being treated like a maid by her step mother and step sisters.

Ariel is an explorer and defies her father, King Titan to follow her enthrallment with all things human  and then fights for her prince.  I have always had a soft spot for the mermaid with her red hair and amazing world under the sea.

Pocahontas teaches tolerance of other cultures and shows that acceptance and respect really can go a long way.

Snow White is a princess who learns the hard way that trust should be earned not given to anyone, and that even tiny dwarfs can be yours best friend.

Belle from Beauty and the Beast learns that even ugly beings can be really beautiful inside.

I could go on forever, and even though I know that I am slightly dancing on the cheesy side of life, I think ever girl is a princess in her own world and should be encouraged to believe she is  (without being catty or bitchy).  If I am blessed with a little girl I think I would like to read her the stories first and explain why she too is a princess, a princess who can grow up to be a scientist, a doctor, an artist or anything else she wants to be and then let her enjoy the movie on her own.  The world really is a girl’s kingdom we just have to teach them and show them how it can be.

Which Disney princess are you?

Mashrebtesh Men Neelha?

I am not a fan of Sherine’s, heck I am not even a fan of cheesy songs in general, but this one was so sweet. The words just hit me where it hurt. It’s just that Egypt is special in my own heart and even though I am officially a TCK (Third culture kid). Maybe that is the reason why I love Egypt because to this day it is a magical and mystical land to me.

Bless This Chick

I recently came across a website called Bless This Chick which lets you create your own girly avatar. It is so cute, you get to pick the dress, hair color, accessories, even angel wings or devilish horns. You can even make them and send them to your friends. For the seriously creative funky girl in you. This is for my sister who adores pink and loves shopping and is a pure princess with fairy wings when she’s in a good mood.

Bless this chick for my sister
