Sometimes I  feel sad because I’m tired.

Sometimes I feel sad because I miss someone.  

Sometimes I feel sad because I’m under appreciated.

And Sometimes I feel sad because I’m lonely .

I’ve heard it a million times that it’s going to be alright . It’s okay to be sad , things will get better.

But how , when ,where nobody really knows.

I’m sick of being put aside and ignored all the time.  

See , the thing is that I’m one of those people who turn every negative emotion they feel  into  sadness .

So no one but them can actually see or feel  it.

All the anger ,  fear ,  loneliness and tiredness inside of me turn into tears in which I drown myself in while I sleep.

And I just whish that one of these days somebody will see the shit I have to go through everyday and  come save me from the worst enemy I have ever had .

Myself   .

Lets just say I'm not feeling very well this evening 

Uni time is here !

Hello blog ,

 So my little extra three week holiday is over . Now it's time for me  to go back to school.
I must say I don't really miss waking up early in the morning nor am I  very excited about  the 1 hour bus drive , but it's alright because I  can't wait to get back to buisness . And by buisness I mean learning about new thing , doing homework ( yes believe it or not I miss homework ), getting to know new people and  basically having a more active life style since I had a very lazy , relaxed summer .

Since registration I have been to university a couple of times just in case there were any updates about the time tables or anything else for that matter , but I'd always come home half disappointed -because I went all the way there for no reason -  half happy - because I gained a couple more lazy days -. But this morning there was something new , As I entered uni I noticed it was very busy so I instantly concluded that the time tables were updated which made me very happy . I finally got to know what I'm studying and who is teaching me for the semester .

The  subjects I'm studying are :
        1- Extensive reading
        2- Composition
        3- British ans USA cultures
        4- Grammar (of course)
        5- Initiation to translation
        6- Public speaking

That's it ! I can say I'm very excited about everything . I can't wait to start this year with a good , positive vibe and try my best  to carry it through out the entire year .

Lets do this

This is it for this post , See you very soon blog .


Jump ! and you'll find out how to unfold your wings as you fall

Documenting assilah : part I

Hello everyone ,

   As I may or may not have mentioned in previous posts , this summer I went on holiday to asilah with my  family . 

Asilah according to Wikipedia  is a fortified town on the northwest tip of the atlantic coast of Morocco , about 31 km from Tangier - I confirm - . 

It took us about 3 hours of driving to get there but it was totally worth it . Once we arrived  -and by we I mean : Me , my mum and dad , my two sisters , my aunt and uncle and my cousin - we immediatly rented a house then went out for lunch . Everyone was so tired so we had some nice tajines then  went right  back to the house , where  my sisters my cousin and me slept the entire afternoon because apparently we all stayed up all night instead of having our beauty sleep (says the person who spends her nights scrolling down  her tumblr dashboard ). While we  snoozed the grown ups took it upon themselves  to go shooping for groceries .

  

I'm going to break the story for a while  just to say that I think it's time I start  using names because it started to get a bit annoying . So my two sisters are called Nouha and Nima . And my cousin's name is Sarra .

After me , Nouha ,Nima and Sarra woke up we went out to the city and had a very nice walk  along the beach . A couple of laughs and selfies later we stopped for drinks . Everyone had ice cream except for me . I  grabbed a coffee because I'm different  and special , just kidding I really needed it to save me from turning into a zombie   (LOL) .

A couple of hours later  we went   back home ,  ate dinner , had some nice family time then went to bed .
I know that  we didn't do much on out first day there , but it's only because of the lack of sleep  which lead to everyone being very moody .

PS : Sorry about the bad picture quality I took these pictures with my phone . Better picture are coming soon I promise  

Asilah is a very beautiful city and  I can't wait to write about the  rest of our time there.

                                                             Khaoula.A                                                       

I'm back !

I haven't updated my blog in ages , I know . But  I'm back now . I was on holiday for 5 days in which I managed to break my laptop screen into a million pieces  and fix it  (Thank god ) .
I have been very very lazy this summer (like I always am ) I haven't done anything productive except from going to the gym and writing some short stories . But I'm  going to try to post more frenquently and  in a regular way so I can get this thing moving .

It's August the 31st and summer is over .Both my mum and dad are starting work next week but luckily I'm not . I still have one month of freedom before school starts , in which I'm going to attempt to sit for and pass my driving license test and  post reguraly
So This is how it's going to be : I'm going to post 3 times a week , each post will have it's own theme . I'm gonna try to keep up with this as long as I can , Hopefuly more than a week (LOL)

This is it for this post . See you very very soon .



                              

For the inexcusable delay in posting again

The offensive 2M commercial

Hello everyone ,

The other day I was sitting at home watching TV when an advertisement  popped up . As you all know you can’t really skip an ad on  TV so I just watched it . And I never thought that I could be that mad after  watching 1 minutes of some TV commercial  until that day .

It basically insulted women in every  way possible  and it had nothing to do with them at the first place. I mean why would you want to make a commercial  like that when your talking about apartments , why would you want to make a commercial like that at all .

A few days after it aired people noticed it’s big flaws  but the channel didn’t even bother  cancelling  it .they justified the hole thing with one sentence “ oh it was just comedy “ and  deleted the abusive part only .

Are you kidding me  don’t TV channels have people who control scripts and judge if they were TV appropriate because seriously if you think that that was an okay material for a national channel commercial than  I’m so sorry you are very wrong.

And the fact that people believed that excuse is just unbearable . how could that even be comedy because guess what it didn’t make me laugh not even for a second.

Believe me I’m not hating on anyone but to air something that humiliating on national TV in a time where everyone is watching an have everyone think it’s okay is 100% wrong .

You’re giving the younger generation the wrong ideas you’re making them think that it’s okay to insult women it’s okay to objectify them to treat them like pieces of meat ( this commercial includes a man who was bargaining marrying his 4 daughters to another man) , while their mothers and sisters are sitting right next to then laughing about it .

Well guess what , it’s NOT and that’s the main reason we need feminism .  All I want is for people to know that it’s not okay to make jokes about those sensitive subjects . Respect women and just consider  the fact that if it wasn’t for a woman you wouldn’t even exist right now .  

For Arabic speaking people this is the commercial

                         

Thank you for your time
