10th May 2013 - My Birthday

I decided to do a little experiment on my birthday this time. I hid my Date of Birth on Facebook to see how many people would remember on their own without FB reminder’s assistance or a status from me saying “Yaay, it’s my birthday!”.

RESULT: A total of ~~three~~ [update: four] birthday wishers on the Facebook wall (as opposed to dozens of “Happy Birthday” posts of last year and the ones prior to that) and a few other on Twitter and text messages.

Haha, I can’t believe that social media has taken over our lives to this extent. We don’t bother remembering or thinking anymore because the tech can do that for us, duh!

“There’s an app for that!”… I’m afraid there’s no app that could replace/play the part of real friendships.

PS: [There was one birthday hint that not many people noticed - the birthday cap addition on my PROFILE PHOTO]

There’s going to come a day when we’ve all grown up, had a career, maybe got married and had kids, when were all going about our daily routine. Maybe you’re driving to work with the car radio on, or you’re making dinner with the tv on in the lounge. Life as usual, and then we hear a name. It’s the name of the person you had a blog dedicated to when you were 16. The person you had posters of up on your bedroom wall, or as your desktop background. The person off that show you used to watch every week, as soon as it came out, or that band you used to love. The person from the cast of a movie that changed your life, or the character who you scrolled through page after page of fanfiction of. You haven’t heard that name in a long time, and it brings everything back. And then the name is followed by three words you thought you’d never hear. Has Passed Away. And then you put down the potato peeler and lean back against your kitchen bench, or you pull over to the side of the road, and tears are streaming down your face. And all over the world, there are people who used to be just like you, with tears marking their cheeks and sobs forcing their way out of their throat, because they remember. Because fandoms never really die out. We never really move on. We never really forget.

It was a coffee day for me today. How?
1. I decided to make some mocha for myself this morning to drink on the way to the university.
2. A couple of hours later I found myself on a Nescafe stall they set up in the university. They offered me free coffee of course and I gladly accepted.
3. I thought it’d be better if I transferred it from their disposable cup to my insulated Nescafe mug. Instead they told me to keep the paper cup and filled my mug with more coffee!
4. When I returned home I found a parcel sent by CityFM89 waiting for me. The content: a cool Breakfast Show insulated mug!
Co-incidence?

FACT: I am not a “girly-girl” nor am I “tomboy”.

I play video games. I don’t like bugs. I like to look cute & pretty. I don’t use a high pitched voice when I talk to guys. Pink is not my favorite color. I don’t wear too much make-up. I fix my hair. I can play sports. Dirt is not an enemy. I don’t flirt with every guy out there. Sparkly stuff doesn’t grab my attention. I like to shop, but I don’t like spending too much. I don’t wear heels. I eat what I want, when I want. I am me.

You all might be familiar with the famous fictional detective “Sherlock Holmes”.

I’ve always been a fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s work and every time I decide to watch a Sherlock Holmes movie or series based on his books I think to myself, “Will this do justice to the original Sherlock Holmes?”, “Would I be able to enjoy it after having read the books?”

Trust me when I tell you that the the world has seen WAY TOO MANY VERSIONS of Sherlock Holmes —> FACT: Sherlock Holmes was awarded title for most portrayed literary human character in film & TV.

I have watched about 4-5 of them before the latest one I started last night - BBC’s Sherlock. The first Sherlock I saw on TV was nothing like the one I’ve always imagined in my head while reading the stories and novels, and Jude Law is so not Dr.Waston-ish for me, I don’t know why. Every time I become accustomed of one Sherlock Holmes, another face shows up to ruin the previous image and take its place, haha.

Anyhow, coming back to the original topic of this post BBC’s adaptation of Sherlock Holmes - I came across it first on Tumblr when a blog I follow started posting gifs and quotes from that show. I was like “oh great! another Sherlock”. A few days later I started getting more interested and looked up some info about this 21st century Holmes & Dr. Watson on the internet. I knew that if it was by the BBC it had be be good but I temporarily put the idea, of checking it out, aside.

A few months later a friend of mine brought it up in a conversation where we were discussing our mutual interest of mystery and detective type stories. I actually had lend her some of my Agatha Christie books earlier which got her hooked to these sort of things.

I’m on a summer vacations, and these holidays are often the most boring ones for me to be honest. Last night, I was feeling sick and awful and knew that I had to do something to take my mind away from those horrible feelings for a while so I decided to start this show.

I knew I had already become a fan of it when I has about in the middle of the Episode 0. Yes that’s right season 1 ep. 0. Unaired Pilot. Although there were some predictable things in that episode but my theory was that they put them there so the viewers can feel clever and smart thus relate to Sherlock more and ultimately be more interested in the series. Later at night one thing kept me pondering and thinking - the fact that there were was a clue so obvious but the normal people other than Sherlock Holmes couldn’t get. I can’t tell you what it was because that would be a SPOILER if you plan to watch it.

I just couldn’t accept the fact that there could be things that only Holmes was supposed to understand, yet it was so obvious to me too. Sherlock is much more brilliant than that. Besides Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle was a genius not to ruin the mystery beforehand in most of the cases. I have tried multiple times solving the puzzle with the clues given in the text but haven’t succeeding most of the times. Even when I was close to solving anything I had more than one possible solutions in mind and didn’t know how to eliminate the wrong one to be exactly sure of the right one.

Guess what, I saw the Episode 1 this afternoon and I feel so much better now. Turns out, there was a reason that previous episode was number ‘0’ and named “Unaired Pilot”. It wasn’t meant to be watched by us. The Episode 1 has the same story with many details altered and improved. You’d think it wouldn’t be that interesting to ee the same story again ‘cause you know the ending but I loved watching it. I’m impressed at BBC spending so much on the Pilot and then even more on the better version.

I know I’m gonna follow the rest of the series, it’s just too awesome to be missed and the hour they’ve incorporated is pretty good too. I suggest you check it out too if you like mystery and crime-solving stories. Even if you aren’t aware of this hidden interest that might be in you somewhere, see a few episode and I guarantee you mystery-loving side will be unleashed.

PS: The episode one is almost 1 and a half hours long so it’s was more like watching a movie.

I finished making this yesterday. It’s called an Explosion Box - as it is evident from the picture it involves no explosives at all so it’s totally safe to open indoors.

It is basically a kind of a mini scrapbook, shaped like a box and falls open once the lid is removed. If I were to name it, it would call it “A Box full of Surprises”. =)

Hope you like it, fell free to leave your comments and do check this album out for more pictures.

I put together this mini album for Zohra. Her birthday has actually passed about a couple of months ago and I wanted to do something special (as these are some of our last days togethet at the university). So as soon as the summer vacations started this was one of the first things I did =D

I decorated the album inside and out, selected about a dozen pictures of “The 5 of Us” from different times between 2007-2012(now) and got them printed from a photo shop (it took guite a while to explain the exact size of images I wanted, hehe).

Anyway here are some more pictures:
