Outfit

So Ive sorted my outfit for Saturday insha'allah... as long as the weather stays how it has been this week insha'allah.. so what dya think?? London hijabi, look out for me :D They arent exact things.. but the guise is there, paisley dress, raspberry cardigan with matching colours shoes and hijab and a navy bag

Ive decided...

.... my holidays for next year :) Insha'allah. Wanna hear? Of course you do, and if you dont.. TOUGH! Sooooo Canada end of January for 2 weeks insha'allah, eyeS, Aalya get ready!! then Morocco for a week end of March then insha'allah I mentioned to Batool about going somewhere hot in the summer, staying on the top floor so we can sunbathe and catch some rays insha'allah

Today I was asked...

... a load of interesting questions from a girl Ive got friendly with at work :) Made me happy to at least try to answer her questions... but my main question of the day from a dude at work was 'excuse my ignorance but the thing you cover your head with, does it have to be any specific colours for specific days or holidays?' I told him if he didnt ask, he would never know.. no matter how silly they seemed. Then I went on to ask my friend, did you lot even think to ask Ahmed (the stalker) these questions before I came here? Her answer... we wouldnt have asked him anyways lol.. Alhamdulillah Im here then :D I also got asked if I would consider converting back for the summer so I could join in on the drinking games.. I think he read my stare and raise of the eyebrow right :)

Its been awhile

and what can I say? Things have been mad lately.. not during the week (Im just tired then) but at weekends definitely. Last weekend I spent Saturday in Kingston searching for swimming shorts, you know the surfing type that go to your knees? Cause I found a ladies only 2 hour swimming session not far from me on Sunday evenings so Im going to try to get to them insha'allah. Then on Sunday I met up with one of my bestest friends from Canada, Nadia stopped over in UK for her sisters wedding before flying over to Athens for the reception (hes half greek) and then training it over to Istanbul to visit her teaching friends there. Then shes stopping back here for a week so should be fun. She brought me over a ton of skirts and hijabs that I originally left at hers, bless her masha'allah.. oh and my dream book that Ive been contemplating buying again ;)
I slightly rearranged the things on display in my room the other day, moved some hijabs from being stuffed in a drawer to inside my wardrobe so I can see them better and I moved some books from the lower shelf of my bookcase to the higher to make room for my ever growing dvd collection ;) I now have all the Gilmore Girls dvds and have started on Angel too :) I love that tv series, I also bought a few at hmv yesterday but have a list for when I get paid lol.
Took a trip into London yesterday, met up with a girl I work with which was nice.. I had the nicest nutella and banana crepes, but I couldnt finish them all there was just too much chocolate. Bet you never thought you would hear me say that eh?! lol. I bought some shoes finally to go with my New Look maxi dress so now I have a complete outfit. I was looking for navy shoes, because there was no way I was going to find the pinkish tint I needed for the other outfit (I have a navy set and a raspberry set to go with the dress) but whaddyaknow I found the perfect pinkish shoes ;) now I realised I dont have a bag to go with either.. Im thinking navy would be better for both of them. So today Im going into Kingston to find a bag, take a dvd back and wander around.
Im onto the last Twilight book (breaking dawn) for the 3rd time :) and after this I promise to start reading something else. I recently bought 'Satanic verses', 'the count of monte cristo' and 'wuthering heights' so insha'allah one of them will grab my attention long enough to pull me away from the magical sensuous world of teenage vampires ;)
I was talking to my mum yesterday, she worries alot about me as you all know and I know she worries more about me being on my own so I told her I had met up with my friend yesterday on Oxford Street, I also told her about my veggie friend in work and about my HR friend (Batool) of course she asked where shes from, 'because with a name like that she had to have SOMETHING else in her' *rolls eyes* whatever.. Im just sick of chirade now, and at least if she knows names it isnt so hard.. shes impressed I have a HR friend lol... I even mentioned to Batool last week about going on holiday next summer just us.. somewhere hot so we can sit on the top floor balcony and sun bathe.. I really need some sun, and seeing as I wont be going to Algeria anytime in the foreseeable future I should try to do something. Im intending on going back to Canada for 10 days/2 weeks end of jan beginning of feb to get some boarding time in insha'allah.. so snow and sun sorted for next year insha'allah ;)
Also started back with my sewing too :) looking more like it should so far alhamdulillah.. Im kicking myself for not printing off more patterns though, I have nothing to flit to and from, so I find I do less stitching.. maybe Ill go to the library and see if theres a printer there I can use.
Well peeps, thats enough from me for today :) peace and salams,

The other day....

.... I was asked, 'do you know England?' as in he was going to tell me where he was from... doh! no I made up this accent off the top of my head! I couldnt belive it! Then he said, so born and bred in Liverpool? I told him.. I havent bred yet, but I was born there :) Im getting sick of certain comments now, and Im determined to not change just as much as when I was in Canada... I changed my accent slightly when I moved to St. Albans, not this time peeps!!

Theyre everywhere

Muslim men that is! masha'allah.. I forgot to tell you about what happened to me over the weekend. I was waiting in Victoria train station for my lil followers to arrive, but I wasnt too sure where the train was I should be catching. So I asked the train dude there, he told me the times and the platform I needed and I was went to walk away in the wrong direction he said 'sister the platform is that way' now why didnt he salam me when I first asked him my question?? Whats the deal with that... I dont salam guys because you never know if they are muslim or not plus the fact that I would feel really weird even saying hi to a guy.. beards dont always equal muslim.
Then the other day I was walking to the lift at work to go to the prayer room, there were 2 guys by the lift and one of them goes to me 'hello sister' dude.. if youre going to call me sister at least earn the barakah and salam me... its very annoying!!!
So with the dude at work... today I was doing a 'Bella' again, he wasnt in all morning and I was thinking it was really egotistical of me to think the reason was something to do with me, it couldnt possibly be because of me right... right! :) he was working the late shift.. things are pretty arkward though, but he isnt reading that! think Im going to have to straighten things out soon.
