I woke up today and realized that , for no particular reason, I just feel happy and optimistic. You know the little random things that leave us happy and smiling? Many of those little things occurred in summer, and although I usually hate summer, I would say it was this one was pretty good. Let me elaborate:
Meeting old friends by chance; Viva facebook. I found, school friends, IBM friends, London friends, ITWorx friends and even my primary school teacher!
Reading a good book. Well this summer I read several, "The city of dreaming books", "Witch of Portobello", "Taxi", re-read "Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy", and finally the amazing "The curious incident of a dog in the nighttime"
Finding something I thought I lost; well first, I found my smile again and my belief in fairytales. I found a CD of mp3s and photos that I thought I lost.
Getting introduced to someone interesting ; I met so many interesting people. Some I heard of before, some came by surprise, and some even proved my instincts wrong. It's always fun to meet more people especially ones with a good story to tell, that leave you looking forward to your next meeting.
Traveling or planning a trip; Portugal and Spain, Marina (twice!) and a plan for a winter trip to Italy isA( ya rab ya rab ya rab).
Hearing good news about a close friend; my sister's IGCSE results were brilliant, everyone is having babies , two of my close friends got married, one got engaged and someone very special got back on her feet after a rough 6 months.
Random Events; picking up my bank statement to realize I have more money than I thought, getting some nice feedback about my stories, many people actually agree with me about the Ku theory, I'm back to cooking , I'm back to the gym (finally), Ramadan is on the door...

I say to myself
Self, why are you awake again?
It's one a.m.
Standing with the fridge wide open, staring
Such a sight, florescent light
The stars are bright
Might make a wish, if I believed in that shit but
As it is, I might watch TV
Cause it's nice to see people more messed up than me
I say to myself, as I smile at the wall, just let myself fall
It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be alright, cause I'm alright with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gotta be
I shiver, shut the door
Can't think standing here no more
I'm alone, my mind's racing, heart breaking
Can you be everything I need you to be?
Can you protect me like a daughter?
Can you love me like a father?
Can you drink me like water?
Say I'm like the desert, Just Way Hotter.
The point of it all
Is that if I should fall
Still you're name I'll call
It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be OK, cause I'm OK with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
As long as we laugh out loud
Laugh like we're mad
Cause this crazy, mixed up beauty is all that we have
Because what's love but an itch we can't scratch,
a joke we can't catch God, but still we laugh
Get back in bed, turn off the TV
You say "It'll be alright baby, just wait and see."
It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be okay
It's gonna be all right, just wait and see
Its gonna be all right, no matter what they say
Its gonna be a good day, just wait, just see
It's gonna be okay, cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be okay...
Uh oh, I'm awake again
It's one A.M.
Staring
Such a sight
Well, at least the stars are bright
