Mirth and Melancholy

I was writing a story on Google Docs based on my previous life, like all authors do (well, I don't think they use Google Drive), and since it is based on my previous life, I did need valid and true written records to refer to. (Did I word that correctly?) So, in order to find those kinds of records, I typed up the URL to my old but most favorite blog, Just Remember . I did write my story according to a certain blog post (sort of... kinda tweaked it up), and then, I guess I got distracted by remembering what really happened, and wishing I could relive those moments, wishing I was back in my previous life (my previous living area), and regretting that I didn't relish those moments as much as I should have. Or maybe I was just tired of writing? Evidently not, since I'm typing this up right now... but anyways, I couldn't help reading through that old blog and missing everything. My house. My friends. My memories. Five years' worth of memories. And oh, the pictures I use...

We got back on Sunday at Maghrib time. Surprisingly, the unpacking process didn't take long. (Because I helped the most.) I really wish I wasn't so speechless these days, but I can't help it. I got nothing. You're like, "Are you kidding? You went on vacation for three weeks and you have NOTHING to say? Really?" Yeah, erm. #laziness Okay, we got our blood drawn by my mom's dad who is a doctor. H and I had to get ours drawn a second time to find out our blood type. On the first drawing, I cried like a baby. On the second drawing, I fainted. Okay, that's an exaggeration. I actually just lost all my strength, my eyes rolled backwards, and I stumbled. The nurses babbled in fear and set me on the bed. I lay there for a while until they asked me to come out. Today, school starts. (Starts officially. It began last week, but we were on vacation.) We reviewed the basics of Arabic and listened to 15 minutes of NAK's analysis on Surah Najm. Then I di...

These three weeks have gone by very quickly, just as I expected. However, I don't really remember anything exciting that happened, except for going to the beach for three days and two nights. Oh yes. That was amazing!! We swum in the pool, in the salty water at the beach, rode a jetski, rode a banana boat, and got flipped over into the sea/ocean off the banana boat. Brother Z found a rather large crab while feeling around in the sand underwater. All we found were hermit crabs. There are about two days till we leave, and I'm not ready, because the fun practically just started. Last night we came to Grandma's hosue for a sleepover, and today we went to a park and saw millions of monkeys, otherwise known as our uncle. WHAAHAHAHA JUST KIDDING. After that we had breakfast and then went home. We showered, I bothered my uncle, and then uncle left to the store with Brother H and Sister S. They ain't back yet. Great-grammy and mummaa and the rest are supposed to come here toda...
