Full Moon in Thailand on such a special day, I just couldn't miss that. Though the weather didn't sound promising, heavy rain and cloudy sky, loads of people started to gather in the very famous full moon beach, which is Ko Pha ngan. The few couples of days I spent before the party there, I tried to enjoy and pamper myself with some top uality sea food on the grill meal, with Touraille, my new friend in the island. i thought I'd be nice and easy on the drinks and outings before it, but I got completely wasted celebrating my arrival on that paradise that I actually haven't done any special activities, expect walking along the beach, watching movies by any restaurant there, the weather wasn't the kind you want for a nice swim. The 26th ... read more

Being in Hong Kong is just like being in Europe again, like London, or Paris, maybe more busy than Paris, sometimes want to say a little bit more stylish. Actually, not really but people do dare here and I like that. I'm staying at my friend David's place for a couple of days before flying to Bangkok on sunday. It's a short visit, but enough for me to say a little hello to Lionel and his team in GL HK's office, send few things back home, yeah very little something like 25 kgs, party a little with Bella I'll enjoy seeing tomorrow, today is her Bday, so happy birthday, girl! What else? Oh yes, do not, under any circumstances use my credit card, in this paradise for impulsive shopaholic like me! ... read more

Bollywood, O bollywood, Am i the prettiest of them all?? Hahaaa I did it, and not just once but twice, Yes I kind of love that film industry, did it mostly for my mom too, as she is a huge fan of Shah Ruck Khan and his peers, but didn't get a chance to meet him. Sorry mama. I did though meet others, that were quite full of themselves and pretentious, but all big stars are supposed to behave like that, and treat people around them like dirt don't they? First set of pictures is this pakistani series, directed by indian and pakistanis directors, leading actress being indian, and hindu, her sister in the movie being pakistani and lovely. The dancers were a treat, very friendly and funny, the industry so colourful it's made my eyes ... read more

Hey everyone, Well it's been a while since I've posted anything. Was just too busy I guess, in my 3 weeks tour of Iran, loving it, hating it too cause of all the restrictions you're faced to especially as a woman, picking up some farsi words, very little, getting to know and love the Persian culture a little bit more each and everyday. Iranian people don't like to be reminded that Arab language and sometime culture is a bit similar to theirs, Iranian women trying to defy the system by wearing a scarf that doesn't cover their hair at all, and use it as a seductive tool, Iran the land where you can find anything from some wine, or stronger alcohol to hash and grass, very very easily, faster than getting a bottle of water as ... read more

Yes, it happened yesterday. A full celebration, the girls putting on some make up on me, fixing my hair, bringing me some tea during the whole preparation, dressing me up in pink, even got the youyou part. I did marry in pink, don't ask me why. It was intense, the little girls wanting to be close to the bride, "aaroussa", because she is special and the queen of the day, I was lucky to have some girls dancing for me too, in the yemeni style. The men were upstairs chilling and chewing Qat in the meantime. Yes, men and woman do not share the celebration together. They shoot guns, they dance with their dagger holding up in the sky, and the woman dance, and ... chew Qat too. I got married in Yemen, but I ... read more
