Birthday Gift

Remember the winter clothing I told you my mum got me when she came to see me in September; well my mum’s love is never ending. I got this birthday package from her as well for my birthday and I got it at a perfect time. It was the second day at work for the convocation and it was a long, windy and rainy day; I was lacking some sleep and not in the best of moods, but I came home to a birthday package.

Here are just a couple of the things that she got me when they drove up here.

Everything's Amazing and Nobody is Happy?!

My mum shared this video with me, and she said that not too many people on her Facebook liked it. I tell her that I think that if they did not like it, it is because they either don't have a sense of humor or feel talked about in that video :p

It is quite funny, and I completely agree with him. Every now and then I am thankful for things I have. If you ever see my list of the things I am grateful for in my life, amongst many other things, I actually have the Internet, laptop and mp3 listed there. Also, I can't explain as to how many times I have rolled my eyes at people in the subway, especially the teenagers, when they get frustrated with their phones and blackberries. Sometimes hearing them talk makes me sound like my parents as I think to myself, what has happened to this generation, are they not thankful? and are they our "tomorrow's leaders" I do say this with a joke, realizing my dramatization of the situation..but you know what I mean!!

At the end of the day we all act as impatient :p and I am the first one when it comes to my slow computer... so I hope you like the video, it is a good laugh :)

Closer than Skype could ever get :)

Mum, dad and Bibo came for a quick visit last Sunday and it was great. I've been wanting to show them my place and campus, forever and as sudden as their visit was, it worked out perfectly. I actually got to hang out with them for a couple of hours, they would have stayed longer, but Bibo had school the next day and so did I :p

and no matter how old you get, it is still so sweet when your mum loves caring for you. I was overwhelmed with how many things I got :D Of course I was supplied with winter clothing, which I will show you later AND food. The middle-eastern food that I have been craving. I am stocked up, it is such a nice feeling.

They liked my apartment and like old times, when we were all living together, the first thing my mum and dad suggested was to sit outside, talk and have some coffee. The neighbors across the street do that everyday, and looking at them just makes me nostalgic yet puts a smile on my face. I do miss living with my mum, sister and brother. Even if we're all busy, there is still someone close to talk/hang out with and be there for.

Hopefully my mum will be coming next time to visit me :)
