How to : Survive a sick day

Sunday 30 November 2014

Hello blog,

These past two day were sick days for this little girl. I spent all my time coughing my lungs out,watching hours and hours of Tv shows and sleeping.

I had a lot of things to do but since I felt like I was run over by a bus, I was  perfecty okay with sitting in my own filth of germs doing nothing but beeing sick . The only good thing that came up from this horrible experience (that hasn't ended yet) is me getting inspired to write this blog post which is not bad at all .

So here are some tips to get you through your sick days .I hope you guys don't have to use these anytime soon .


HOW TO SURVIVE A SICK DAY


So first things first : TV marathons 








Choose your favourite show/shows or movies and do some binge watching . You may find a  good marathon on Tv but if not (which is always the case) the internet is always here for you.

As you can already tell the shows  I chose to watch are : OITNB and Orphan black. (I'm dying to watch the upcoming seasons.)

 Tip number two :


What I like to do when I am sick is to always stay warm and that includes a fluffy, warm blanket / blankets and my favourite hot drinks. If you're too sick to make one yourself use you're new found (sexy) raspy voice to convince your significant other  (in case you have one) to make if for you . If not just make your sibling do it .  



 Tip number three :



This is a classic thing that  everyone does when they are sick  and it's making chicken soup. It's a life saver . It makes your throat feel better and makes you feel warmer.

So make sure you have a lot of it stocked up , if not use the raspy voice again. It always comes in handy.





 Tip number four :

Keep water and medicine close at all times this cuts out on the amount of times you have to get out of bed and drag your feet to the kitchen or the bathroom. Which becomes the hardest thing when you can't stop coughing.

                                                             
 Tip number five :




Keep all your electronics charged and  close to you . As an internet addict I find this tip the most important .There is no way you can sleep away all the sickness ,so there no better way to kill times then to watch you favoutite shows/ youtubers (tip number one), read some of your favourite blogs and talk to friends than the interwebs.  


That my friends is the way I handle my sick days ! 

Remember to  stay positive and do more of what makes you happy .

Don't forget to wach your hands  and I'll see you very very soon

PISSED...

It's 2014
~Women should have rights to their bodies
~Gender roles shouldn’t exist
~We should understand that rape can happen to ANYONE and it is NEVER the victim’s fault
~Men shouldn’t feel ashamed of having emotions
~No human should be valued over another human
~If you murder someone you should go to jail. Especially, if you murdered an unarmed teenager.

I don't get how people choose not to understand/ignore this.

The return

Tuesday 18 November 2014
Hello blog,

It has been nearly ten days since I last posted something, and I honestly feel very bad about it.

Life has been very hard on yours truly. With all the essays and oral presentations due very soon added to the pilled up stress, I have found myself in a never ending circle of painful headaches and self blaming.


So I took the decision to take a little break from blogging and the internet in general just so I can take care of basically everything else. But I'm back now !











Me talking a break doesn't mean that I have stopped writing  (like that could ever happen). I have wbeen writing quite a lot and I'm so excited to share it all with you.




For the posting delay!



Remember to  stay positive and do more of what makes you happy .

Serial ??

Saturday 8 November 2014
Hello blog ,

Yesterday I went to the National museum of modern art in Rabat with one of my best friends and I honestly had the most amazing time there. I basically walked around for two and a half hours looking at beautiful art, I loved it .

Because of all the walking and talking that happened I decided that today was going to be a well deserved duvet day. So whilst I was scrolling down my facebook homepage (or whatever it's called)
I came across an article about this podcast named "Serial". As a natural reflex I went ahead and clicked on the article , read it,  googled the podcast , downloaded its seven episodes and binge listened them  like a crazy person . Needless to say , I'm hooked.



What is it bout this murder-mystery podcast that makes it so gripping you may ask. Well Serial is a weekly podcast that revisits the murder of  the high school student Hae Min Lee  and the man who was convicted of kiling her . Each week journalist Sarah Koenig Takes us listeners along with her as she investigates the crime in an attempt to sort out what really happened .

The big question is : Is Adnan Syed guilty of killing Hae Min Lee ??  

When I started listening to the podcast I didn't expect it to be as intense as it actually is , because we're not talking about fictional events or characters . These are real people . A real person got her life taken away at the age of 18 and her ex-boyfriend was convicted of murder. Anyway I don't want to give too much spoilers in case you guys haven't listened to it yet.

But let me tell you something if you are into mystery/murder this is just the right thing for you.

Warning ! It is addictive and it can drive you carzy just like Sarah Koenig said in an interview :

" I might still be insane , but at least my listeners are now crazy with me "

If you haven't listened to the podcast yet and you want to you can check it out here. If you already did, do you think adnan did it ? if not who do you think murdered Hae Min Lee ?
I pesonally think Adnan is innocent , Jay and Jen sound like the criminals to me but then you never know.

This is it for today , I hope you're having a nice day where ever you are.

Remember to  stay positive and do more of what makes you happy .

Addicted to the internet ??

Monday 3 November 2014
Hello blog,

It has been ages since I've written this kind of post. And since I just came back from uni and have loads of work to do , why not write it right now and not get any thing else done .

This past week has been nothing but exhausting for me . All I wanted to do was to have a proper good night of sleep, but everytime I try something magicaly happens and I end up being awake all night. Which is not so good if you have to be up by 6.




But on the bright side,I got loads of things done. I re-decorated my room (finally),did some writing and overall  was very active although I was lacking sleep (Thank you Coffee , I love you )


I have been trying to do more things with my days instead of just going to school , coming back home and sitting on my laptop all evening and night. So I decided to join my local gym (Whaat) . Yes you heard it right I am joining the gym. I just think that it will give me more motivation to get up and get things done.

How did I come up with this decision? you may ask .well It just hit me the other day whilst I was watching a movie. I realized that my addiction to the internet is a bit out of control ( and by a bit I mean a lot ) .  I love being online but I have been litteraly doing two things with my life : school and internet. To be honest it is starting to stress me out . 

So yes I have a problem I am addicted to the internet and I get sick when my wifi  is down but I'm trying my best to switch off a little bit  because this life style I'm leading isn't exactly the healthiest, is it ...

How about you guys ! Is anyone of you bound by WIFI ? have you ever tried to shake things up ? If yes did it work out well ? 

That's all I have for you today . I hope all of you are having a nice day .

Don't forget to follow me on bloglovin' or subscribe to the e-mail list or both I don't mind.


Remember to do more of what makes you happy , I love you  and I'll see you very very soon.

Saturday 1 November 2014
And sometimes it sucks. And sometimes you’ll look in the mirror and hate what’s staring back of you, and cut off all your hair because you’ve wanted it to do it forever, and why not now? And some days you’ll roll over and snuggle up to the person closest to you - the person that you really care about, and you’ll feel like everything you went through in the world was worth it… just to be in that moment. And everybody gets there, and even when it’s the hardest times and you feel like you will not make it - you will. I mean, I did. And look at me now.
