(Not So) Random Facts About ME :)

 

Hello :)  Time to share some cool stories. Random facts about me in no particular order...

1. My name is Halima. But most people call me 'Leema'.  Originally only my close friends called me Leema. but twitter changed that.

Well this is me...

Goodbye 2011.. Hello 2012

I know I'm not writing this on the first or anything close but HAPPY NEW YEAR...
Or is it?
We'll come to that in a bit
On the plus side 2011 ended really well :) Holidays were really fun, memorable indeed. I actually put the word party in the 'Party Like A Rockstar'. I thought I was gonna pass out. Literally. I was so exhausted. So many functions EVERY SINGLE DAY. Family, friends , tweeps (ugh I hate that word but yeah) I met a lot of my twitter buds. Even more at TNC3. It was crazy but was so much fun - spending time with loved ones and all. I LOVED IT...
Then the year ended and we entered the new year and I was happy. I really was. Until the 2nd. So many things happened that day, I felt terrible... A blast from the past was messing with my emotions, then the fuel subsidy issue, I was just worried about the possibility of a strike, I didn't need another delay. Another reason not to resume school on time and to top it all off I was pms'n. Some luck huh. You can imagine how messed up I was feeling.
Spent at least 20 out of 24 hours of that day in one bed or the other. I needed the rest anyway...
So the new year had begun and I came back home and it started...
The boredom, the depression. Feeling useless. It all started coming back. I thought I was done with that. Feeling like that. I mean I was happy for months. Heck I was happy days back. Everything just felt wrong and upside down... My room looked like a bomb had gone off in it.
So I started there...
Spring cleaning. Cleaned my room for about three days. Like totally cleaning. Went through everything, threw out a lot of stuff... Gave out a lot as well. I needed space. Space for the new stuff.... Space to breathe.
After that was done I was bored again. I felt like I was choking in my own house. By this time the nationwide strike was ongoing. That fuel subsidy matter is something I don't wanna get started on.  >_<. As I was saying. The strike was on and we were all stuck in our houses. So I decided to paint my room. I'd been thinking about it but now I had the time. Luckily I had everything I needed in the house. Well there was only one bucket of pink paint left but there was cream (which looks more yellow) so I decided to mix and match.
I ended up using three colours. I mixed the cream and pink and I got this peachy, sunset yellow colour. I used it for one wall and my ceiling. Yes I went up there. Now I'm all done and I've moved back in and I feel better.
I still wanna do more decorating. I will. New curtains, painting, bedside lamp, carpet...
Maybe the new things and new look would bring in a new feel and a wave of fresh air...  I feel like I'm choking... Everything feels wrong and I don't even know why...
I. Need. To. Breathe.
