Calm before the storm

Hi..My name is Shiza..

...and I'm a blog-aholic. 

I swear it's really like an addiction...i.just.cant.stop. I keep scrolling through people blogs with gorgeous ideas for events and parties and awesome little DIY projects that im just itching to do now. Once you start going through a blog you seriously just keep going its a like a downward spiral sooo many pretty pictures that total ignite you imagination and stimulate your creativity cells ( which up til now seemed like they were dying...slowly). And i keep telling my self to stop and get off the computer but i just cant i keep wanting to look and learn and drool over the coolness of it all...

I just want to throw as many parties as possible just so i can try out all the cool ideas and pretty themes...

on actual news misha will be here in less 6 hours...exciting stuff oh plus its Eid tomorrow so EID MUBARAK everyone :)

Release Me...

It has indeed been a considerable time since my last blog I would like to lie and say I've been super busy and haven't had a chance or say that I have nothing worth blogging about but that would, in fact, be entirely untrue. I've been to London, done a day trip to Oman, made some pretty large cakes on total short notice been photographing heaps been working super hard being prepared for a total career change, alright so not total change but I guess a slight change from the corporate graphic designing road dad was trying to oh so gently trying to shove me down. My mind is spinning with 101 art projects I want to do and get into but I know I wont inevitably wont be able to actually complete. 

My internet is currently not working so in the next blogs to come I will posts lots of photos and more details on the happenings of my life. This blog was more of look-Im-alive-and-I-haven't-abandoned-you kind of blog...

Please Sir I want some mOre-Places in Dubai

There's this artsy modern cafe that I had been dying to go for ages after months of wanting to go and two failed attempts of arriving after closing time. I finally got a chance to eat there, while I was a little worried that the place would come short of the self created hype and expections, but I was equally excited that I had finally managed to make it. mOre cafe is this trendy little place housing art-work of aspiring artists, so definitly appealing to my senses. The menu offers a vast eclectic mix of cuisine from accross the world; Italian, Thai, Indian and South African are just a few countries culinarily represented from around the world. The food was really nice and the service was great, we happened to go at an in-between-time where it was too late for lunch and too early for dinner so we were promptly served.  I was really impressed by the decor with artsy photography, to gorgeous paintings, art-nuvo popart meets antique furniture peices on display. They had a really attractive looking bakery in the corner which I couldn't resist...

Food: 7/10

Service: 9/10

Atmosphere: 9/10

Price: 7/10

aand....were back!

Right, so I am more than well aware on the total neglagence of blogging for what, a whole month now :<  I suppose I should have a great reason for making my prescence so sparse but i really dont it s agenuine equal mix of being really busy anf really lazy.

In anycase I have very little to report other than a hectic eid of back to back..to back orders not much happened at all...

I did go to Pakistan for a little while, around 2 weeks or so for a wedding which was well fun, I do have heaps of photos of places in Dubai that I want to put up and systematically I'll go through them all and upload them on here...

other than that and what seems like total excessive blogging (getting hooked on other peoples blogs and, clearly, not writing my own blogs) so much so if Kirstie was to look at my desktop at the moment she would be well proud by the sheer number of images i have clicked and dragged on there...after a quick select all and apple+i theres like 500 images overlapped all over each other:

Atlantis

I finally got a chance to check out the Atlantis Hotel, I got to ride on the monorail ride through the Palm Island, eat the best ice cream ever and see the Lost City of Atlantis Aquarium. It just so happens I'll be spending a night there tomorrow which I certainly am looking forward to. I'll get a chance to go the Aquaventure water park too which should be fun...

Here are some photos of the place:
