My latest obsession.

....is my iPod. Even though it's pretty much like, 3-4 years or maybe more old, I have gotten way too obsessed with it. It doesn't even have anything besides twitter and those stupid games! Yet every second of every minute, I'm checking it out or tweeting stuff no-one probably cares about.
Whenever I'd study, I would use my iPod for half an hour or so, and then study. But that's not the end of it, after reading a certain topic or a few lines, I'd open my iPod again and basically—waste my time.
I even scream or shout whenever someone touches it and I get worried when it's not infront of me. It's creepy..how obsessed I'm. I have never been this obsessed with anything and it's ruining my concentration for the upcoming exams.

So to stop my obsession from going, I asked my sister to put a password on it so I don't use it anymore. Sad thing is, she actually did that. Now I'm stuck with a password protected iPod. Yeah, I have my Laptop, but I get too damn bored with it and iPod's much awesomer. Anywho, I'm not going to be able to use my iPod till exams, (I think) and untill then Laptop's my best-friend and books, ofcourse.

I hope I suceed in my goal of not using iPod for 3 weeks. Oh also, today was a very happy day indeed. Elephant got 17/25 in History. That isn't something that happens everyday, oh no. It made me happy because well, I got more than her! And Chocolate is now officially the HEAD GIRL of the Prep Section.

 That is like, so cool. She replaced this girl, who wasn't very good at the job. And, I got really great marks in Geography, for which I was pretty worried. Oh, I explained the entire story of Hunger Games to Red, and she liked it. FINALLY!

But in the midst of all this, the country's condition isn't very good. There are bomb attacks and target killings and things of that nature everywhere around us. We're no longer safe and that scares me. ..It's pretty sick.

Well, I best be off now! I have to study a lot and ofcourse, sleep. Talk to you guys whenever I have time! Bye.

Exams or no more posting.

Hola! It's been a week since I posted and I'm terribly sorry for that. Exams are just a month away and I can't say I'm not tensed because I am.

Well, these days I'm having a great time at school, which I'm probably going to miss a lot. Yesterday I played this game with Chocolate and Red in which we had to connect the dots with a single line in each turn and the person who made the most 'boxes' would win. Red won, because, well, I cheated. It wasn't actually cheating. It was just me helping Red by giving her all the houses. Chocolate got mad though (She isn't used to loosing) and decided to have another game without me. Now that was just plain rude. We played another game in which I won because Red was helping me. We had a lot of laughs and yeah. 

The next classes were of English and we made some terrible jokes, (Eyebrows kept asking idiotic questions) We saw the test paper which was kept underneath some books of sir and that was how we almost knew what was coming in the test. Test went great. After break, Chocolate and I had to go to the computer lab to check the essays we wrote for this competition with our teacher and I believe his words to me were, "You should write an article and send it to DAWN newspaper because you have amazing writing skills."  Mum says the same, Dad too. But eh, I can't really waste my time doing that. We had fun there too, checking twitter out and playing Temple Run on sir's mobile and annoying him at the same time.

We had P.E next and well, we were thirsty as hell. Normally, we'd go fill up our bottles with the dispenser in the office but they had shifted it to a classroom so it was hidden and no one could use it. Now that's just plain stupid. We went anyway and had a couple of talks with Red (Partner in crime. BOO YEAH!)

Well, life's going great. But I'm not going to blog anymore, atleast not for a while. Till like, my exams are not over. I have been quite busy with school work but I'll try to post when I get the time for it. Till then, Adios Teabagers!

Cricket.

Sometimes, there are days when you want to do something completely out of this world. Something new, something fun, something to laugh at when you're about 20 or so—which is why, our class decided to play Cricket in classroom.

Yeah, everything seems perfectly alright when you look at it that way, but on Saturday—our classrooms had changed and we were shifted in the boys' class while they were in ours. We barged inside the room which was now the boy's, holding a bat in one hand—and a ball in another feeling quite proud. There was no-one inside so we assumed they were out in the ground or something. One of the girls came in and said, 'Alright, put these chairs over here, those over there. We'll need to create some empty space in between.'  And thus, we started doing so. After a few minutes the chairs were attached to the walls and we were standing in between, pondering what to do next. Chocolate was pretending to bat—when the girl above mentioned asked us to make teams. I was with chocolate, ofcourse—and the game began.

Our team was doing the fielding while our components were batting. Our screams of ' Tum out hogayi!' (You're out!) 'No, that's cheating!' 'Ball ko pakro yaar, tum log kar kya rahe ho?' (Catch the ball guys, what the hell are you doing?) 'RUN RUN RUN !' could be heard even from outside the class, considering how loud we were. It almost made me laugh, how spontaneous we were acting. The ball would sometimes hit the roof, bounce back and get lost in the mess of the chairs. Runs would be made till we would find the stupid ball and out someone, finally. Soon everybody was out, and the total runs made were 20. It was our turn to play, and well—not everything turns out happy. We played stupidly—like we didn't know how to play at all, and made a score of minimum 10. It was pretty suck-ish. I played good, atleast I think I did. We lost the game, nonetheless, we wanted to play more. We were heading back towards our class when our sir gave us the idea to play in the ground. On our way, we entered the science lab without a care in the world—because there were 'fishes' inside, which we wanted to see. They were pretty cute, you could say—but kept running away whenever we put our hands inside the water. We then left to play in the ground—where a couple of friends left, so we were all on our own, playing the bloody game. It was quite pathethic and boring—and I was getting tired as well.

The rest of the day passed with us craving water and playing sports. (Not me, I don't like sports.) The day ended and we went back to our homes with tired looks, and I attacked the bed—and wanted to sleep forever. I couldn't, though. I have a math test coming up and I have to study hard for it. I studied whatever I could manage to study at that time, and I'll study after I'm done posting this. And well, that's how the stupid saturday ended. I can promise you that, from now on—I'm never going to go to a Saturday again. Sure, I had fun, but I went to school only because I thought there would be studies taking place, which they weren't. THEY RUINED MY PRECIOUS SLEEP FOR NOTHING.

Hazza and Islamabad.

Hazza,

Happy belated Birthday! I miss you to bits and pieces. You were the awesome-st dinosaur ever and no-one could ever replace you. I'll always remember our talks that we had while I was studying. How you listened every single thing I said and didn't say a word against what I was saying. I still remember on the day you died, we saw a dancing spider together. It was infront of the board while I was doing the test and I showed it to you and you started dancing as well. Good times. You may have been given to me by Brown Eyes, who apparently says that you could not die in a trash can, I was your true owner. I know you hated the awful smell of garbage and I feel awfully sad that you had to die this way. I will forever hate Eyebrows and Chocolate for murdering you. I knew you didn't like Eyebrows—but I never knew Chocolate was this bad. If I hadn't shown you to her, she'd have never given it to Eyebrows who threw you in the trash can. It's all my fault, I'm the one to blame here. One day, I'll take the revenge of your murder and feel happy about it. I planned not to talk to either of them today but since Chocolate helped me, I had to talk to her. She's sorry, though. I don't know about Eyebrows. She'll always remain the rude and selfish friend she is. I'm also sorry that Chocolate broke the head of your son, Hazza junior. Life's just not fair. I'll celebrate your birthday every year and never forget you. 

Your owner,
Marwa.

Hi guys! The reason why I didn't post in these 5-6 days was because I was gone to Islamabad. It was the best trip I've had since a while. It was spectacular and words like that. We left on Thursday and came back on Sunday night. I may just now have to decribe what we did the whole trip in detail. This may take a while, so buckle up.

Day 1 (Thursday night):
After a day full of travelling and walking, we finally reached Islamabad. We sat in a car which took us to our guest-house where we would be staying. It was okay-ish. Nothing hotel-like, though. We ordered some food because we were hungry, and the dinner was served in an hour, timming exactly 1:00am. We ate and then fell asleep, at approximately 2:00am.

Day 2 (Friday):
I wake up with a startle and see that my sister woke me up because we locked the door and she couldn't open it. She messed up a bit with the lock and I couldn't open it as well. After comming into sense, I opened it and told my sister not to bother me again. I went back to sleep and woke up at 11:00am. Dad was gone for his conference so we were getting bored. I started using my iPod while my family was doing who-knows-what. After a while, we got the call from dad that he'd be comming at 4pm and we should be ready. We played cluedo to pass the time and watched some T.V and ordered lunch, which came after an hour.

Dad came and we started getting ready to have a tour of Islamabad. The first stop was Lake-view park. It was awesome! We had alot of fun, especially my little sister because she's a dork. We took some pictures and did boating as well. It was pretty good, overall. We then went to this amusement park-type park which had kiddie rides. I'm serious! It was for small kids, who were 3-9  years old. It was pretty awkward there, untill we found this ride which was super cool and completely for the big kids. We had to ride this bike in which we had to either use the 'rear' which controlled the speed, or the 'brake' I was from 13-16 so I got the big bike, compared to my little sister. We had this pavement to ride our bike on and we got our helmets and everything. I was the first one to go and believe me, I was terrified. Maybe because of the fact that the lady said that if we press both rear and brake at the same time, we might get seriously injured. Who would not get scared by that? I was the first one to go and after a while the others catched up. One boy went ahead of me in full speed and I got mad. So I used full speed and bam! I crash into the tyres, loosing my control. The man who stood over the corner helped me get back on track and I made sure I don't do something like that again. We had to do about 6 rounds during which, I crashed into the tyres again. A boy hit me as well! That made me mad, but I was under control. I was the first one to come back and then everything ended.

The next stop was, Pakistan Monument. It was pretty cool, with the construction and everything. We took some pictures there and we could see the whole of Islamabad, from there. It was a pretty sight! It was shivering cold at that time too and I had no jacket or shawl.

The last stop was the Faisal Mosque which is the biggest mosque. It was pretty and looked beautiful! We took some pictures there as well but it was getting late so we went back to the car.

For Dinner, we went to Pir Sohawa, where we could see the WHOLE of Islamabad and it was beautiful, perfect. I was literally in awe the whole way. We had dinner at the restaurant there and saw this big aquarium with fishes and one of the black fish tried to EAT me! It was freaky. We then went back to home and went to sleep at 1:00am.

Day 3 (Saturday):

Dad was out for his conference which meant that another boring morning was ahead of us but mom decied other-wise and we went for shopping. We went to this super-market which was okay, I guess. I bought this shirt from there and a few bookmarks as well. We then decided to have lunch at Pizza Hut, where we had a call from Dad that he's going to come home soon. We ate the Pizza and left. We also had this awesome icecream. I miss it.
Dad came and this time our trip was to Murree which was about an hour away from Islamabad. And let me tell you just one thing—It was fantabulous and the scenery was out of this world. The greenery and the hills and the trees! I kept staring at my window the whole way and took pictures. We then went to Putarata to go sit on the chair-lift. It was a long way to the ticket master and I was dead tired. We bought them and sat on the chairs. It was a long way so we had fun! The view from up there was breath-taking. We then landed, stupidly. There was a long line so we went to eat something. We drank coffee and eat some pakoras and saw that the line had increased. A dude said that the line will take forever, so we should just go on the cable car, which takes us even higher and come back. We did that and to our amazement, there was even a bigger line there! It would have probably taken hours. A van came our way and told us that the line would take time and that we should sit in there and go direct down. We did so, and we were on our way to our hotel in Murree. We reached there and slept. Peacefully.


Day 4 (Sunday/Last day):
We woke up from our tired sleep and left to do some shopping in the Mall Road which is pretty famous. We bought some clothes and shopped a bit, ocassionally looking here and there. I bought watches for my friends which they seemed to love. We also went to this newly constructed mall where there was this 'Motion Ride.' We had to select from the options and we chose 'Paradise Coaster' which was a roller-coaster. We used 3D glasses and the chair was moving which made it seem as if we were actually riding a coaster. It was pretty fun. Infact, my sister loved it so much she decided to do it again and I was forced to do it with her. We headed back when suddenly, it started raining. We ate some icecream and went towards our hotel to pack for our flight in the evening. The driver said that there was still time and we could see another place so we went to P.C Burbhan and seriously, the architecture was amazing. The gardens, plants and every single thing was simply amazing. I was in awe after seeing everything and wanted to explore more. After having some coffee, we went to the Garden, which was beautifully constructed. We took some pictures and headed back, since it was getting pretty late. I wanted to stay, though. We reached for our flight and blah blah blah. We reached Karachi and then left of for Hyderabad.

We reached at 12:30am and overall, it was a pleasant trip. Missing it would've been a pity!
