PINK SUSHI ©

music: red hot chilli peppers::zephyr song::
mood: copyrighted n secured!

It's official i finally registered my own l'il ::pink sushi:: home business company with the dubai department of economic developement! oooh i feel so ezbeshial now! This is so exciting i feel like a mini entrepeneur now all backed up by the law with a legal trade license. I reserved the trade name PINK SUSHI translated into arabic as BINK SUSHI +lol+ let's not even go there! ahha but it's just so exciting al7amdullilah for everything i am all copyrighted and protected by law now! +hoo hoo passing out pink candyfloss to everyone+

Other than that the lecture by French typographer Jean Francois Porchez at ::AUD:: was extremely enriching! aah i got the most nostalgic vibes when i stepped into the auditorium, it just resurfaced all the feelings i witnessed when i was in that hall last. Marching down the stairs to meet Bill Clinton in my graduation Gown!+lol+ it feels so awkward cuz i actually miss being a part of ::AUD::! Anyway, I truly enjoyed his lecture on typeface designs and his typographic presentation of the expansive typefaces he has designed for huge corporations such as peugot, france telecom and signage in the France underground. Porchez's fonts are filled with graceful ligatures, beautiful curves n extremely legible letterforms. He stressed the importance of legibility and practicality when creating a font and later revealed that the true challenge with font design is to create a typeface that is universal and can be utilized worldwide for numerous publications from newspapers to signage. Also he revealed the fact that "anyone can create extravagant and experimental new font designs but creating a legible font is the true art of being a typographer!" hoo hoo! anyways porchez's artwork will be on exhibit at ::AUD:: until the end of this week and his fonts are available 4 download here

Also, i wanna thank samsoomah for the cutest little move ever +squeeezing u ultra tight n passing ya me hello kitty nail file+ i was browsing through her linx page and i noticed that she created a l'il gorgeous link button to me webbie with me webbies new theme! AWWW sams you're such a dolllly! hee hee i am soo gnna abuse that mini creation of yours everyone feel free to snatch me new button from ::sams:: +lol+ wuv ya tons come home soon GURL! okaii then me off now to make the most of what remains of my weekend and i cant wait for saturday to REabuse my new toy a 20inch IMAC G5 nyahaahaaai she's fallen into my evil clutches and there's no way out for milky mac now!

AZZA FAHMY

music: Madonna::true blue::
mood: flickering with flickr

What is it about AZZA FAHMY jewellery that intoxicates me? Is it the intricate details of her pieces? is it the gorgeous arabic calligraphy she utilizes in her pieces? OR maybe it's her harmonious style of combining gold n silver elements into a majestic little piece of jewellery. All i know is that i am hooked on to her limited creations and i admire her achievements ! +screeching u go gurlllllllll!+ errrrm oopth don't think that was appropriate but anyhus i just had to let it out of my system!

I delivered me l'il baggies n a few ghitra embellished tops to Amzaan this weekend, and they are doing quite well al7amdullilah! me exciteddd! hee heee i also added them to me bags page so everyone can take a peak at them online! hoo hoo, Also i set up a pinksushi flickr page, am clueless about why i hadn't done it ages ago! but its so much fun i am using it to upload my digi shots of my everyday surroundings more like a photolog but the koolest part is the way everyone takes part in photo pools with specific themes like hello kitty n holgagraphy and kitten just added a signs pool so its quite enticinggg!

I 'm also looking forward to meeting a world famous French typographer at AUD this week! Typography is an art that i simply can't have enough off my instructor ::Huda abi Fares:: will always remain a source of inspiration in me life, her love n dedication towards arabic typography and letterforms is definately what has propelled my love for this spectrum of graphic design! Typographer Jean Francois Porchez president of the Association Typographique Internationale and creator of the typofonderie website will be holding a lecture about his typefaces followed by an exhibit of his letterforms n font creations, so i simply can't wait to attend the lecture! yey yeeey!

Finally, me just wantsy to send out a huge happy birthday pinky dinky hot air ballooon to me ::mama:: ::baba:: and ::sneezoi:: this week. Me wuv's you all +hugggiess+ wishing all of you all the happiness in this entire worlddd +huge smiley+

::FELINE FRIENDS::

mood: stable n unstable

The little white angel with a broken wing, aaah the poor little thing, she was so frail, so weak, clinging on to her life with all her might, screeching for help at the top of her tiny little lungs. Throughout, last night i could hear the screams of despair in our back garden but considering it was so dark outside i was too freaked out to go check for the source, i just shunned the matter by convincing meself that it was merely a bunch of stray cats having a gruesome fight, but as soon as my eyes fluttered open those innocent weak cries were still ongoing into the daylight, now lower n pleading for rescue. I followed the source of the cries into the garden and i was shocked to see a tiny white l'il kitten dangling from the top of our plant shed. She had fallen into a hole in the roof and looked like a snowflaked bat held upside down by her trapped broken little back left paw. The poor thing she tore my heart apart and her mother was screeching from beneath gazing at her l'il kitten in despair. My rescue mission lasted 5 mins thanxs to a ladder and my hands, she was so drained, so fragile, so exhausted from the pain she just cuddled her weight into my palms. The little white angel with a broken wing, i poured some milk for her as a token of forgiveness but before i could contact the feline friends rescue team her mother leaped, sunk her caressing teeth into her child's neck and ran off with her into the bushes, i just hope i helped that little angel, i just hope she manages to cure herself or spend her last moments close to her mom engulfed with her tender loving care i feel so guilty knowing i spent the entire night resting comfy in me bed while that tiny kitten fought for her life n suffered all night...

Other than that my l'il ::glitzou:: turns four today, i can't believe i've had her for four years time truly does fly past, considering the fact i have no other siblings other than my brother who is completing his masters in japan at the moment ::glitzou:: automatically transforms into my sister/ daughter/mousey/companion at home! hehehehehe she shares my everyday life with me n waits for me everyday impatiently when i step home or enter my room +trying to convince meself she waits for me and not her food+ lol anyways i adore ::glitzou poopi:: and no matter how many times me friends stress the point that she's a cat she will always remain ::my mousey:: my l'il haboola!

3id is round the corner but this year will definately be a painful one for our nation allah yr7amk ya baba zayed, we shall strive to make you proud of us and illustrate your strong n magnifecent vision. We are all responsible now for the well being and growth of our country we love you and you shall remain forever in our hearts as our father, our leader and our teacher.

::BABA ZAYED::

mood: mourning

My father sheikh zayed, the curtain of grief has drawn its darkness around us, today our small nation loses a man whose smile showered our everyday lives, a person whose magnifence filled our souls with pride. Your silent departure from our lives is painful, i fail to speak my overflowing sorrow. You helped our nation grow, charged all of us with strength and touched our lives in such a peaceful way. We your children grieve your sad demise, inna lillah wa inna ilayhi raji3oon. Our lives will never be the same with out you, Baba Zayed you are alive in our hearts for eternity... click 4 sheikh mohammed's condolences to our father.
