Nothing much to say really

I know I said I probably wouldn't blog today but my friend Ziad Bartz convinced me to do one so here it is :)
The netball social was cancelled so I ended up going to the Belgian Cafe for dinner with my family and Debbie and her mum instead ... anything to prevent being in the compound when all the little ones come trick or treating. I know I know.. bad halloween spirit. Ahh well at least i had a LOVELY meal. mmm... I do strongly recommend to anyone going to the Belgian Cafe to have the Leffe beef stew. ITS SO GOOD.
Today was SUCH a loong dragged out day at school and time passed soo slowly.. another fire drill.. pointless as. I swear the school are crying wolf so that one day the alarm will go off and everyone will just be like 'mehh cba to go to the pitch its probably just another one of the 1000000 drills.. ' and then we'll all burn to death. cheers BSAK. We had a guest speaker come in for PSHE today.. a phsycologist from Khalifa(?) University... His presentation was reaaally good and he had a really good way of interacting with us. His main topic was anxiety.. and the one piece of advice i got from his lecture was that when you're stressed out or paranoid about something or when you can't get something off your mind... close your eyes, breathe slowly, imagine you're sat under a tree and theres a river by you. A leaf just fell off the tree and its flowing down the river away from you. Write down your worry on the leaf and then let it float away..  < I liked that, because its something that I do very often, except I do it in a more 21st century way.. when I have something bothering me in my mind I write it down on a note on my phone or on my computer., and then maybe after a while i delete it.. I know no one will see it so i dont keep anything in, and i don't have to be worried about being judged about something i wrote. Its a really good thing because even though it sounds silly.. you feel so miuch better once you've let it all out. And no I didn't think about doing that by myself, Jazz suggested it to me. <3
Art today was epic, Manon splattered inks all over the place, Emily drew around Mr Lewsey whilst we all sat staring.. and Lydia was around taking snaps of it all to put on her blog ;) with her modern POLAROID CAMERA. yes, i am SO getting one for christmas!!
PS. My face is peeling, sad times.

Halloween Halloween Trick or Treat for Jelly Beans..

Tomorrow is Halloweeen, I wont be blogging because I have a busy day ahead. School, after school spanish, boys rugby match against Belfast, Netball social.
Its funny how in the past for halloween we all used to dress up and go trick or treating in Karama or Mangrove or compounds where loads of our friends used to live... Now it consists of the weekend/s of halloween throwing parties some dress up some not.. but basically thats our celebration. Last weekend Rifdi had a 'Halloween' party and most people dressed up.. It was quite good and I think we should have more dress up parties they're a laugh. Next weekend its HOLIDAY and Lolas having a partyyyy and its gonna be sick everyone's prettyy pumped. Still trying to convince her to make it a dress up ;)
Here are some pictures of last weekend.......... I was a 'devil' which my mum was NOT very happy about :/

Happy Halloween :)

Shabby Tournaments. Not great.

So yeah I know i haven't blogged in ages and tonight im stuck in bed because I can't move so I decided I'll do a little blog or two :) On Saturday 29th October BSAK football teams both boys and girls had to all get up suuuuper early to get on the bus to 'dubai' .  Most of us had no idea where we were actually going but we knew we had the BSME football tournament somewhere out of town... Last year or two years back the BSMEs were at the Rashid School For Boys - Beautiful place. The pitches are huuuge and it has such a chill atmosphere and there was a costa stall and wow it was really good. We won the tournament that time but it was probably because our whole 'school' team was made up of Abu Dhabi Thistle players and there was only about 3 people who actually went to our school so we spent most of the tournament teaching the other girls to say theyre in BSAK if anyone asks. This year.. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. The bus slowed down and so we thought FINALLY we're here! and then we look out the windows and its all these broken down houses with broken windows and sand everywhere , like a tiny little beduwin town. We saw a pitch with trees and we're like LOL imagine we have to play there.... andd then we found out.... WE HAD TO.  The goal posts were all crooked and bent and the pitch was the size of my bedroom.. which is rather large for a bedroom but TINY for a football pitch! The boys of course got the LOVELY huuuge pitch with nice grass and normal goals (ok maybe the goals were huge but still they were at least shaped like propper goals?) and then the girls were stuck with pitches around a quarter of the size of the boys'. We were all thinking WHAT A JOKE.. but we knew that this meant we'd all have to play realllyy thoroughly because even the goalies can score goals from a goal kick ! the pitches were tiny. tiny. tiny. tiny.
Games went on and on and on.. we had two teams and both had 8 matches each.. My team won 3 of our matches lost 3 of our matches and drew 2.
lost 0 1   won 2 0    drew 0 0    lost 0 1    won 3 0    lost 0 1    won 5 0    drew 3 3
I played a lot more than i expected to because usually (since i have such an amazing team) the ball is always on the opositions side since we are always in posession.. but this time there WAS no sides because the pitch was so small so we all just technically played every position. I did a few too many headers so my head was KILLING after a few matches, I was also a bit shovey so i have tonnes of bruises all over my legs now.. and somehow i managed to reaally hurt my groin. I can't remember when it happened but I just remembered a sudden pain in the bus and it hasn't stopped since. Last night I had about 2 hours of sleep in total nevermind how tired i was from all the excersize.. i was just in too much pain to sleep. Tonight I was advised to do ice bath warm bath ice bath warm bath ice bath etc etc etc so i did it and as painful as it was.. the pain actually went away for about 5 minutes. Probably because my body was just numb though because after a while it all just came back. Fml.
At least i got a pretty decent tan on my face though :D I'm sure it will all peel off very soon just to spite me.

PS. Don't be fooled by the pictures. The place was shiite.

You alright there charlotte?

Harriet Bambridge. My blogging inspiration.

One last thing. Saturday was Mine and Thom(the distant boyfriend)'s one year anniversary <3 love him lots but missing him too much. Anyone know of some sort of photography jobs in abudhabi let me know so i can lure him back here

wowza how complicated.

So yeah, I've had this 'blog' for months now and I've never actually posted anything to it.. I once attempted to have a blog like thing on my facebook's note pages only to realise they delete themselves after a week so i found that to be pretty pointless. Now I've come back to this. I started off thinking it can't be toooo hard but WHAT THE HELL ITS SO CONFUSING, you click a button and you think it's gonna take you to the right place but then it takes you to a completely random website. And the layout of this blogger site does not really make anything any easier.. .
I will probably only use my blog page to put up some photos of some things that make me giggle, or make my day, or some photos or quotes of things i find inspiring or interesting. For today since I'm very new to this and have no idea if this post will even save or not, I'll stick to telling you about this website i encountered today. www.foof.com << most random website yet it had me mezmorized for a couple of minutes, go on it.. you'll notice in between all the images there are words and I sat there for litrally about 15 minutes just trying to find out what all these words are!? McFuckUpWorld? whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
