Bigger isn't always better...

You know...I opened my blog today and scrolled down to the pictures and was like "D-D-D-D-Damn!" I really have a big ass nose. I tried convincing myself that it's because the picture resolution is so huge on the page, which is true, but in actual size, the nose is still pretty damn big. (just take another look yourself) Just a self-realization I never made in the 29 years of my life until now. I suppose...had I followed the strange habits of F.O.Bs and taken daily, actually make that hourly frame-by-frame pictures whenever I could with my cell phone camera and posted them to my facebook or whatever, I would've come to this realization sooner. However, i never understood the infatuation with self photography and as a result have found myself discovering things about myself that I never realized in 29 years of living...with myself. Bottomline: I apologize if I've assaulted anyone with the big nose pictures. I can only imagine, for those purusing my blog at the workplace, it must've been like opening one of those prank emails, only instead of the loud music, or lewd pic, you got a huge ass nose taking over your screen. Kinda funny, actually. Your co-workers must've been like "Damn! never knew you asians had noses like that." ....Going along with the magnified body parts, I sincerely advise people NOT to purchase one of those magnifying cosmetic mirrors. There's one in my hotel bathroom and I'm realizing things that I never would have realized without the aid of a 8x magnifying mirror. It almost makes me want to adopt the hejab and veil! ...almost. :P

Bangs & Fiber

So...I got out of the shower today and decided I needed a change. snip, snip, snip and wahlah ...BANGS! take a look below. i already regret them. oh well, hopefully, by the time i get state side in November, they'll grow back. But, on the brighter side of today...i found fiber cereal! YaY! For those of you who don't know, I am a Cheerios fanatic, thanks to my bro-in-law. Of course, the one thing I didn't bring to Cairo and the one thing Cairo does not have is...yup! you guessed it Cheerios. So, you can imagine how much i've suffered for the past three weeks. However, I came upon Temmy's, a terrible substitute, but it'll suffice for now.

Just wanted to drop a line....

[CHECK OUT NEW PICS below] it's been mad hectic at work, but it's now the weekend here so i'm takin a lil' time to chill and regroup before i get back to the grind. went to Heliopolos Community Church today; the majority of the congregation is expats. there's another church i'm gonna check out on Sunday ~inshallah(God willing). it's supposed to be really nice and big and in Arabic with English translation should be interesting. i have a couple hours of work to do today, but first i'm taking a loooooong nap. Sunday (the beginning of the work week here) is a holiday to commemorate the war with Israel, but unfortunately BearingPoint is still working - go figure. But, just confirmed that i'll be coming home for a couple of days early November, so I'm looking forward to that!!!! Hmmmm....let's see what else. Next week is the Eid holiday here so i'm going to take a 3 day trip to Mount Sinai - should be fun! It's funny...work is really challenging and there's a *ish load of it to do everyday including the weekends, but i'm really enjoying all of it. i've learned more in the past three weeks here than in my entire 3 1/2 career at BearingPoint. It's mind blowing! I know, i'm a big dork, but that's nothing you guys didn't already know :P
Well, I miss everyone at home. Hope everyone is doing well and hope some of youz get a chance to visit this great city! Hey to my foolioz! Have fun at CDR!!! wish i was there! (Btw, anyone run into any good music lately? I love the new Alicia Keys, which really isn't that new and the one from the head pussy cat doll, Nicole....any recommendations? My ipod needs new muzak!)
