Nest for One and a Half

Well, now that Ive settled with the idea which enables me to quit missing you, I had better hurry up and find somewhere to come back to before I leave!

I hope there will be something near our dear friend and foe Marina. It would be perfect if it was on peace street, too, but the agent I wrote to hasn't responded.

Starbuxing

Dear R
Your last post is so heart warming, I almost hugged my backpack, alone, in a cafe!
I miss you a lot too. Seriously considering going back to be your colleague these days..
It will definitely be fun, and it will save me expensive chocolates if you know what I mean, which you do ヽ(・∀・)ノ
I'm in looooove with the cheesy carrot cake from Starbucks. 
The drink is their new cookie crumble frapuccino. Frappucino?
Maybe its frappuccino.

updates

Dear H

 I miss you so much .


 Taking a break from studying for physiotherapy . Here are my one month five updates .So you'd know what's happening in my town. Hopefully you'll be intrigued by all the drama and miss me so much.
You'll decide to come to my town .

 I wonder if you're still "here" .So I can send you a care package of some things I think you'd like .

 My anticipation for the 5th year prom is high ,I wonder what dress I'll wear .I wonder if we'd get to be together .Either way ,we could always do two proms next year :)

 There is this little discovery: Shoe cushions are amazing .Everyone should wear them . They have the magical property of allowing one to wear a size bigger shoes :D

 A  lazy girls guide to herb potting ,is to choose herbs that don't like water .Basil and Rosmary are my choice . WHIZ!

Here is a rose from me to you



I picked it up yesterday ,from behind the  residence building.I was lucky there weren't any grannies on their balconies to snap at me ,while steeling the neighborhood roses :D

Climbing trees

Around the building we live in ,three plum trees bare fruits . Coming back from classes ,I go around to pick some green plums .I have to say ,their one of the summer's best features ,and they taste like childhood .

The summer days I spent in Targovishte ,playing with the kids from the block ,running ,climbing trees. There was one tree we could tackle ,to reach the branches of green plum . We'd fill our pockets,then eat them all up . Rendering us with upset tummies .

Here is a song from Little mint's and my new favorite show

Hissar was another place where, my bro and I would form a gang of children ,dedicated to tree climbing and fruit picking . We spent a good deal of time searching for the sugariest cherries in town . Most of the trees we sought were behind fences .Hence we'd often get scolded by elderly people ,on the street or those behind the fences .To clarify we never went beyond the fence of people's houses .However I guess they still own the branches hanging over the street and elderly are prone to being upset ,if you take their fruit .

It is funny now ,that I imagine all of us four to five kids climbing a tree .so eager to collect .

The best cherries in town ,were in the yard of an abandoned house .Or so we though .Still a  mystery ,since we did see ,opened windows on occasions .So we had our theories .Scared or not we wanted these cherries .Eventually we'd leave the yard in a hurry ,with a satisfactory amount of fruit and the incidence of cherry stained clothing .lesson learnt ;They'r not to be put in pockets .

Come cherry season ,I'll be in session ,studying my brains out :)

Fruit syrup

The weather is getting warmer ,and I dehydrated .

Two week countdown till the summer examination session ,and I got the jitters .
I can't seem to be having enough time to prepare for some of the minor exams and tests we're having for the end of this semester .My mind is racing every night  ,trying to resolve uncompleted tasks ,and to put them in check list to be procrastinated for the weekend .Resulting in restlessness and insomnia .

Typical R's syndromes for unresolved issues .

I knew I had to had a quick snack ,to calm down my autonomic nervous system .In order to fall asleep.In the kitchen while I was prepping my sandwich I though : I know what could quench my thirst in this warm weather . At that moment I was thinking of a fruit concentrate ,that can be diluted in water .Something I'd frequent on a summer night .So I tried to remember the name of that deep pink fruit concentrate I used to have in Jordan .

With no affiliation or intention to advertise ,here is a link to the site, some Arabic music and finally the drink itself  http://vimtoarabia.com/cordial.aspx

OH this gorgeous sweet berry tonic of summer .If I could only have some right now . Luckily I can ask daddy ,to package me some .

It's comforting to think of that .

I remember how sweet it is to have you and me , H ,going about our tea , brunches , movie nights and long chit chats about everything .I miss you H . How wonderful would it be if you would be back here ,we'd be in the same town . Out and about planning picnics .

God

In the Western world, I guess the word "God" generally refers to Jesus Christ.

When I say God, I don't really know what exactly I mean by it, and weather if it's god or God is still a mystery.

For the past 4 months or so, I've been looking for my own God. Something or one that I can rely on when I want to.

It used to be my granpa, and it still is as I have one still going, but losing quarter of the grand parents we Asian kids so much depend on has been a big shock.

The loss of him also made me question my own life. What I've been doing isn't exactly what I wanted to be doing. I feel like such a loser at times, and I'm comfortable with thinking how I please my parents the other times.

I guess I could call it a crisis, but I'm not depressed or desperate yet. I've just started thinking like I actually can think, outside of what my parents or namely mom would like.

What's wrong with me today is beyond me but I'm currently happily eating dark chocolate covered cherries from Bio Market. You really ought to try it if you like that kind of a thing, R! I would however still choose chocolate covered dates over these..

I dunno R, should I stick to looking for Whalley since it's too easy and hard to find God?
