Bebot...
Couldn't think of a title for this blog, so I picked the first thing that went through my mind..."Bebot" by the Black Eyed Peas. Gotta have some Filipino pride, 'ya know what I mean?
Well, it's been a while since I have actually blogged about anything. December was a whirlwind of things...work, Eid, Christmas, Chanukkah, and New Years. Seriously...I thought my blood was going to turn into sugar after eating so much sweets! Hasn't been a bad month...in fact, it's been a great one. We have been spending tons of time with friends and family!
Recently had another camera scare...I thought I had lost it at a wedding over the weekend. Flashbacks of my lost mechanical pencil went through my head. The receptionists at the front desk must have thought I was crazy calling everyday to the lost and found. I was more upset by the fact that I thought I lost my camera without even printing out single picture since we had it repaired over the summer. What a waste that would have been! But, alas, I found it safely (and quite chilly) in the trunk of my car! Here are some random pics from the months gone by...
Me and Hassan's cousin (Kadijah) at Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Her and her mother visited the U.S. from Pakistan. We went to the National Aquarium and saw the dolphin show. People say they love to do tricks and please their trainers, but I couldn't help feeling sorry for these animals. At the end of the day, they are still dolphins swimming a small tank made out of concrete.
When the holidays approach, Jessie and I get together every year to bake cookies for our old college friends who live near or far. On this year's menu: chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles, pumpkin spice mini-bundt cakes, almond cookies, white/milk chocolate bark with peppermint candies (above), sugar cookies, cranberry oatmeal cookies, and coconut fruit bars.
I'd like to think that Murry was interested in helping us bake, but I think he had other intentions when it came to helping me get the flour...
Christmas Day with my cousins. Guess who's idea it was to get them Ravens and Eagles jerseys?
New Year's 2007: For the "Aunties" out there, don't worry. It was a 100% halal and non-alcoholic night for everyone...including the baby that's due in February, Insha'Allah!
At Samiya's & Dost's Walima. Congratulations!
Sharpness.

Yo Chris, that Bebot song makes me laugh. The first time I heard it was on Ugly Betty. If you see that episode, you'll know what I'm talking about.
We had a great time. I wish the night of Sam's reception was longer, I really enjoyed myself just talking to you all. Next time we'll engage in more geek talk, have a movie marathon or something. Take care.
Cute pics... I haven't been following all of the blog postings. Are you expecting? Hope to hear from you soon. Check your e-mail.
