Pizza with Noor and Tazzy

Today was a good day.
Firstly because it was followed by yesterday(to state the obvious), when I had found out that I got a semester mark of 80% for one module!! After failing an entire semester last year, I feel like a little bragging is in order(I still remember the day I went onto the online web system last year to check my final results. I was with some friends at Mugg and Bean and my friend next to me gasped when she saw I had failed every subject!I was not very impressed with myself either). I think the last time I saw 80% was in my first year of varsity! I actually worked pretty darn hard on this last project.
Secondly, because yesterday I had the best run that I've had since last year, and this time I didn't have any stiffness in my legs or pain in my feet! Watch out or I'm gonna be fitter than YOU soon!hehe So if you have had a conversation with me recently, you would know that I want to become a jogger, so that eventually I want to run in races! I want to have a jogging lifestyle; something I do when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I'm frustrated, when I'm bored, the list continues... Yesterday's run was when I was frustrated! A whole day of trying to complete this final project for BEM 221 and not getting too far, can make one FrUstRaTeD! So in with the ear phones I went and my mom also came with, kindly bringing Spikkels along on his leash. This brings me to another subject: the music I listened to on my jogg: you must listen to this song which was recorded at a live recording at my church. The lady singing is the lead Elder's wife of my church in Pretoria and she has an amazing voice! The song is called "Oh Stay". It is my new favourite song! Yes my favourite-song-list changes as often as the songs on the US Billboard charts! YOUTUBE LINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDSswPliXJw What I like about this song is that it makes me think of the Glory of God and i just can't imagine how someone can live without the Hope of trusting in His unfailing love! As I listen to it, I realise the everlasting hope we have in Him and the privilege we have in knowing that!
Thirdly, because today I actually did make some progress on this lovely marketing project!
Fourthly and finally, because at the end of today I went out with the girls for some pizza and window shopping! If you know me, but at all, you might know that I am a person who loves having good friends, then again who doesn't? And if you are a friend of mine you would know that I love pizza and not the take-away, fast food kind of pizza! No! I like the thin crust, wood-burning oven, kind of pizza! And while we are on the subject of knowing me and food, if you know me but at all you would know what 2 of my most consumed foods are?!? take a guess?!? BuTteRnuT and sweets!! did you guess right? then you know me a little beyond just "facebook-friends" level:) In Bahrain there are not the best pizza's on offer;however the restaurant Noor, Tazzy and I went to tonight is probably the best you can find in Bahrain, but I rate it average in comparison to my favourite pizza, Sweet Chilli Chicken from Parrots restaurant in Pretoria(which you may know, if you have spent lots of time with me in Pretoria, is my all-time favourite!). Actually the pizza we had tonight is average in comparison to most pizzas in SA! But it was good nonetheless! So here are a few pics of the end of my day:

Spikkels and I!

The first photo is my dad pretending to sleep in my Lazy Susan. The second photo is literally my first sip of juice after a month. One thing that I hated the most during my time in ICU was having the ventilator down my throat to help me breathe. This was for several reasons. Firstly, with the ventilator in I could not talk so anything I communicate took a lot of strength which I did not have. Secondly, I could not drink or eat anything and felt thirsty constantly; yet when I dreamt of eating anything(which was often), I would wake up feeling very nauseous . This and nightmares made me scared of sleeping even though it was what I did most of the time. Thirdly, the nurses had to suction me a few times a day to remove all the flem from the tube and my lungs. This was especially horrible after they discovered the sepsis, because my abdomen had to be kept upon as they had to clean my abdomen every other day and could obviously not cut me open every other day and close me up again.

So It seems thanksgiving is this Thursday which means its time to get the Christmas tree up. Now I don't actually celebrate thanksgiving but I use to LoVe it when our American friends would invite us over to celebrate their tradition. Sometimes we would have 2 thanksgivings, one in October and another in November celebrating with Canadians and Americans respectively.  Even our Bahraini neighbours are celebrating thanksgiving! But tomorrow is just another holiday for me since exams are over! So back to the Christmas tree. It feels like AGES ago that we have set up a Christmas tree in our house. I can't actually remember the last time, as I know we skipped a year or two. My family have never been big on all the decorations and presents that come with Christmas(only good times with family and friends) although I use to try and bring the Christmas cheer and encourage participation. I eventually gave up, until this year when my mom and I went shopping and thought we must invest in

Jesus' character in us

The following I wrote 3 months ago but just remembered it again when I saw someone say to a friend "don't...because its sin". How hectic to put such law on people. The more I read the Bible, especially the New Testament, the more I wonder where all the denominations came up with all the rules that MUST be followed in order to be Holy?!? I read that “For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me”(Gal 2:19) So where do we come up with, “You must not do this, you must pray everyday, you must, you mustn't”??? “You have died with Christ, and HE has set you free from the spiritual powers of this world. So why do you keep on following the rules of this world, such as 'Don't handle! Don't taste! Don't touch!'? Such Rules are mere human teachings about things that deteriorate as we use them. These rules may seem wise because they require strong devotion, pious self denial, and severe bodily discipline. But they provide no help in conquering a person
