Amina,
I just read what you wrote and couldn't help but smile after reading:" Attend my Money and Capital Markets Finance course" on your to do list. I remember those days, and I also remember that Economic class we took together with Mrs.Chisolhm , I think that was her name lol, I changed my major right after that. Good luck on your paper, you should take a break from blogging.
Great list :)
I tagged you too but I haven`t posted mine as of yet (blush)
Aalya,
Unfortunately I can't access your profile by clicking on your name, don't know why?....
i sometimes see extra ..i read "i had two pencils, one in turkey and Italy :| LOL silly moi! oh but really thats so cool! well u cud still write letters...but thats so time consuming now lol...but i know how much fun it would have been..i used to long for a penpal ahhh those days of fun and innocence...
Habayeb,
LOOOOOOOL, You're tooo muchhhhhh. I couldn't stop laughing at the idea of having 2 pencils in Italy and Turkey looool. Yes technically you can still write letters now but noone does, it takes so much time lol. It's just easier to email the person. I remember how I used to check the mail waiting for my penpals to write back and how happy I was when they did lol.
Lol at pencils...Wow France? mashaAllah. It's kinda like we're cyber penpals though huh?
It's sooooooo nice to know more about ppl .... I luv this tagging thing ..... ur answers are nice ..... and yes Mona's right we're kinda cyber not pen but blogpals .....haha .... ;)
Mona,
Yes Cyper penpals lol, but the letters were so much more personal with the foreign stamps, enveloppe, and the person's handwriting or postcard! I haven't received a postcard in years, I only get e-cards :)
Ms.Unique,
I know, I like it too :) yes we are blogpals. Isn't it crazy? we only know each other through our blogs but we're still part of each other's daily routines :)
Profile works now..don`t know why it didnt show up
Tag! I am it! I'll get to it!
Good to see you back in the blogosphere!
Skimmed through and the first thing that caught my attention was 'Turkey'. Silly me, I thought it was the bird. Haha~ Btw, I have a couple of kitkats in my office drawer right now. :)
PS: Tagged you for "Subsequent tag". ^^
