Behind the Cameras in San Francisco, USA

If you are expecting that I travelled to San Francisco to shoot a Hollywood movie after reading the title, then I’m sorry to disappoint you!

Have you ever had the moment when you took a picture of an amazing view but you missed all the action that happened because you were too focused on taking the picture? I did. And I decided not to anymore.

I was in San Francisco for two days and around seven of us decided to go out and explore the amazing city. The city is on the tip of the peninsula, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. It is not the city itself that is amazing, but it is the surroundings that make it memorable.

Women with Expiry Dates

I hardly slept all night because all I was thinking of was the assessment I had to pass for my promotion in the next few hours. I got off the bed around 6 a.m., making all kinds of scenarios in my head. At 7 a.m. I did the last check of my appearance. Makeup looked fine, hair was perfect, uniform was well pressed and shoes were polished; I was pleased with the way I looked. By 7.15 a.m., I was downstairs looking for a taxi. I had thought of everything but forgot to book a taxi. I should have booked one in advance.  “It’s okay,” I thought to myself. There was still time to 9 a.m. and I usually find taxis around my place. Not today. Not when I was in a hurry.

Everything happens for the RIGHT reason

I went to work full of hope and excitement. It was one of those days when you know no matter how hard it would get, nothing would ruin your mood because at the end of the tunnel, you will find a loved one who will be waiting for you. At least this is what I thought at that time. On such days, I take flights that are extremely demanding because I can’t care less. I was going to see my boyfriend and that was all that mattered.

Once everyone was on board, there was a very lovely couple that took my attention right from boarding. They were around the middle age and they both were carrying themselves very well. According to the British, middle age starts at the age of 55 and it ends in 70s.

Rubbing Grandpa’s Leg

After a long week of stressful studies for my exams, my former boyfriend and I decided to go home for a weekend break to stay with my family. When my grandmother heard we were going to visit, she got really excited as usual and invited us over for lunch. One cannot say no to my grandmother; she does not take no for an answer. Also, she really loved my former boyfriend a lot and she still talks about him.

The day finally came and my parents, grandparents, my former boyfriend and I finally sat together at the table in the lounge. Grandma had cooked delicious food according to my boyfriend’s likings and she was highlighting the fact that all the food was halal since he was a Muslim.

The date that took awkward to another level

I was seeing a guy for a week who I felt was very interesting. He was slightly taller than me, well-spoken and dressed very classy at all times. I will not say that he was handsome, but he had some charisma that attracted me. I kept quiet because I believe if you meet a person you like, you shouldn’t jinx it by falling head over heels instantly. Besides that, I like to analyze every move to see if the man meets my checklist or not. Sigh, what can I say, I am a demanding woman!

This so called gentleman disappointed pretty soon by acting inappropriately according to me. Ladies, you know how a man can get on your nerves when you expect to see them on a certain day but they give you a blunt NO.

My Fake Marriage Proposal

When I newly arrived Dubai, my friends asked me to accompany them to a place named Carters. Since I was new to this part of the world, and English is not my first language, I thought we were going for some car racing! I quickly got dressed into a jeans and a t-shirt so I can be comfortable while I defeat everyone with my car racing skills.

I ran down excitedly to meet my friends who were waiting for me. After all the greetings, I noticed how my clothes coordinated with the boys because the girls were dressed more elegantly. I could not be bothered because I did not want an outfit to ruin my mood.

We arrived at this beautiful place with pharaoh figurines nicely placed in sarcophaguses at the entrance and the hosts greeting us. From the entrance, I could hear a band performing. I looked up and I saw the name of the restaurant: Carters.

The confused rapper with his escorts

About half a year ago, four of my friends and I planned a girls’ night out. We do that almost every week, but this was out of ordinary. It gets crazy when we all meet up. But clubbing together can get crazier than that. All dressed up for the party, we all met somewhere in the middle, and we went to the best club in town. Oh man! I could see people lining up just to get in. This would be a great night out, I thought to myself.

We got in with no problem at all; not just because we are the hottest girls in the town (haha!), but they need as many girls as possible in the club to attract men. The secret is that if you go there before midnight, you have all the chances to get in, but they become choosy after midnight. There must be some logic behind that I am sure; I just didn’t get it quiet yet.
