Anniversary


www.armory.com

Today is our reception anniversary! Last year this time, we were getting dressed to go to our reception. I still remember how worried I was that we get to our banquet hall late!
We had a blast! Today to celebrate I am going to buy a cake and we are going to my parents house. I can't thank god more for our wonderful life together.

Yesterday I played "Sam & Max" computer game. After 3.5 hrs finally we solved the mystery! I love this game. Hilarius but requires you to think and be creative of the ways to approach a mystery!

Back to school!

This week at work dragged big time! It is always like that. It takes a while for normal schedule to kick in!
I finally got my approval from my company to pay for the courses I am going to take and registered yesterday. My classes will start in two weeks. I am excited to see how the course is.

Pishi and I had my parents and brothers over last night for dinner. It was fun to watch our wedding cd again, but better than that was playing billiard! The funny part is that we all sucked at it.
To that end to become better in playing the pool, pishi and I practiced for about 2 hours today. I feel as I play more I get better, however still a lot of improvement is needed!

I don't watch our wedding cds much but it seems to me the more time passes by from the first time I watched them, the less critical I become of the stuff that used to bother me then!

I am glad that this year I ended all the speculations I had toward what to do with my life! I know what I want now and I hoping to achieve most of them by next year this time.

Happy New Year

2008 is here! This week was full of gatherings and parties. It was fantastic to see our friends. Lots of dancing, Pantomime, jokes and catching up friends.
I met my classmates as well. Marjia is pregnant! I knew it as soon as I saw her approaching our table. Words can't describe how happy I am for her. I wish her an easy pregnancy. Muna's baby girl, has grown so much. She is one tall baby!
The more I see my friends fall into family roles, the more I get scared and want to avoid it. I don't know why I feel, that having kids is equal to destruction of all my dreams!! So I hope I can accomplish as much I want before I have kids. The more I think about it, the more I feel we will be pin down to one place. The conservative side of me likes it but the ambitious side wants more..I want to travel..study somewhere else. Learn to do floral arrangements, Learn to DJ, Learn how fix a car engine and dance moves. Read books and more books. So much to do and so little time. At the same time I feel guilty of being so happy and relaxed in my life right now. I feel I am not doing my best and that I will regret not doing things that I should do now. I don't know why I feel that if I let these years to slip by, I may regret them big time. To be honest I can't see myself grow old. May be I die before that!

Anyways, my resolution for this year is to exercise more and don't be scared of challenging the what ifs!

I love Hot, the new song by Avril Lavigne. It completely shows how I feel now in my life!

I wanna lock you up in my closet,
when no one's around
I wanna put your hand in my pocket,
because you're allowed
I wanna drive you into the corner,
and kiss you without a sound
I wanna stay this way forever,
I'll say it aloud

Now you're in and you can't get out
You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me Baby Baby

I can make you feel all better, just take it in
And I can show you all the places, you've never been
And I can make you say everything, that you never said
And I will let you do anything, again and again
Now you're in and you can't get out

Kiss me gently
Always I know
Hold me love me
Don't ever go

You make me so hot
Make me wanna drop
You're so ridiculous
I can barely stop
I can hardly breathe
You make me wanna scream
You're so fabulous
You're so good to me Baby Baby

Into The Night

http://mp3-paradise.blogspot.com

As soon as this song was played on the radio, it was pretty obvious that would be a hit. Santana and Chad Kroeger are fantastic together. Santana plays the guitar brilliantly and Chad is a perfect match for this song as his voice has a special linger. Enjoy the lyrics!

Like a gift from the heavens,
it was easy to tell,
It was love from above,
that could save me from hell,
She had fire in her soul it was easy to see,
how the devil himself could be pulled out of me,
There were drums in the air as she started to dance,
Every soul in the room keeping time with there hands,
And we sang…

Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And the voices rang like the angels sing,
And singing…Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And we danced on into the night,
Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place,

You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces,
we were spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes,
No room left to move in between you and I,
We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,
And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night,
And we sang…

Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And the voices rang like the angels sing,And singing…
Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,
And we danced on into the night

Deadly Dec 26

This holiday has been very relaxing so far. Christmas day celebration at our friend's house was nice. You know some times I think our parents enjoy their parties more than we do! lots of dancing..I feel they truly enjoy spending times together.
It was our Pagosha as well. We got a very cute vase and candle as gifts!
I like grown up parties! Things are said in those gatherings that I like to reflect on. More and more I like to see how our parents celebrate. It's as if I feel I like to learn more and more to teach my future kids on how their grandparents and their parents and so on used to celebrate and live.
The more years pass on the more I feel more connected with Christmas songs and Christmas.
Yesterday, boxing day, seemed quite and we did our electronic shopping and yes, finally I got my ski pants and jacket! I love them! I can't wait to go skiing in February.
Yesterday evening I danced for sometime out of boredom! As pishi was working on the computer I was bored out of my mind and so I danced until I could not breathe!

In the past few years, Dec 26 has been deadly from tsunami in Indian ocean that killed many to Bam Earthquake, making this day as one of the history making days. The strange part is that even TV anchors expect some breaking news happens.
To that note, I heard this morning on TV, that Benzir Bhutto was assassinated. I was talking about her and Hillary Clinton to one our friends the day before yesterday. I had high hopes that this world may witness women's leading styles. Truly a big loss!
I also heard that about 78 people got killed in land slides in Indonesia. Do you see my point of the trend of events on Dec 26?

Merry Christmas

Christmas party at our company was great. The pictures came out pretty good. Pishi and I spent Yalda night at my parents house. It was great to be with them and share with them the pictures of our trip.
Today is Christmas eve and we are planning to spend the night with my parents and brother. I can't believe another Christmas is here. This holiday I am planning to put together our wedding album and enjoy my time off work and see my friends. We already have met a group of my friends last night. Pishi and I along with my friends and their significant others went to Zaffaran restaurant for dinner and to Gol e Sorkh for desert. It was a wonderful night. I enjoyed chatting with my friends. Last time I saw them was in August. We are invited to go to one of our family friend's house for Christmas day and I am meeting my friends from university on Dec 30 and party at night with another group of our friends. I am going to the library this week. It has been a long time since the last time I read a book. Most of my information comes from Radio and Internet. I am hoping to keep up with my commitment to going to gym! As for my Christmas wish, I hope everyone finds peace and happiness in their lives and Seize the Day.
This month was an strange month. My role model at work was let go! I was shocked for a while as I know she is very smart. I was thinking if I get let go some day at least I have my husband to cry in his arms. But poor Irina, she is smart, compassionate but single. Thank God she has her parents here. I know she is a strong girl, but I can't help thinking that she feels nothing toward our companies move toward her. Specially despite her hard work and all she did for this company to improve Quality.
Anyways, I am hoping to move to the department I am striving for and I hope the fact that I haven't finished my 1 year term in my current position doesn't hold me back.

We got back Sunday morning. I just have one word to describe the experience, fantastic! It was the best vacation ever. We relaxed, swam, read a book, soaked up in the sun, watched movies, danced, Kiaked, Windesailed and did I say ate and drank as much as we could! I can say that I am no longer an alcohol virgin! I don't know if it's a bad thing or a good thing! The drinks I loved to drink was Pina colada, Strawberry Dackery, Bahama mama, Kahoula drinks! These drinks don't have much alcohol content and that's why I liked them. I don't know if the bartenders in Mexico are great or the drinks are as tasty here in Toronto!
I can't wait to go to south again. It was a lot of fun. A type of fun I have never experienced. Just to be completely resting and not jumping from this museum to another or site seeing. To be honest I am not a big fan of site seeing! Because when you are back from your vacation you are more tired that the time you actually started your vacation.
Our room was luxurious with a view of Atlantic Ocean. Everyday the staff would surprise us with different romantic themes. They would make different animals out of towels and flowers every night. The tuck in service was great, specially with the dark chocolate they left us with the list of activities for the next day. One night they made our Jacuzzi full of suds and rose pedals with Champagne and deserts. Rose pedals all over our bed. It was truly a fantastic second honeymoon! I definitely recommend Excellence resort.
I was worried about our fish and thank god they were still alive by the time we got back:) I had no difficulty going back to work being completely relaxed. Tomorrow is our secret Santa at our company and Friday is our company dinner party. In less than 2 weeks we have Christmas holiday! Hora!!

Unexpected surprise!


http://www.mexico.vg/

Last weekend I had my classmates over and we enjoyed our time:) Watching Christine's Africa trip, climb and Safari rides, were fascinating! I admire her strength and her stamina.
I would like to be able to go to Africa one day as well and test my survival skills. I know my pishi would love to go and that would be another great thing to achieve together.
I got my transcripts and now is time to start studying for GMAT and ASQ. Well I am going to take a course in January in quality and look into ASQ books further.
I got my second shot of Twinrex vaccine and only one more is left that I have to get after we come back from our trip. I am sick today but I am not going to let being sick drags to next week. We already have got some necessities for our trip, however still need to pack!
Friday, I got an unexpected surprise! I couldn't believe a cheque from my work's insurance company for the time that I was on short term disability! I thought it would be much difficult to deal with insurance companies. Although I made sure that there is no questions unanswered but it was a pleasant surprise to see that my extra cautious approach, as pishi puts it, was answered quickly without any hassles.

This song although some people find it cheesy, which the video is kind of nevertheless I like the music.

The last 2 month of this year is very busy, but at the same time going to be relaxing! My last guest invitation is for this weekend. I have invited my university schoolmates along with their husbands. Since they are from all over the world, I am showing them a taste of Persia! Hopefully they like it.
Before going on our trip to Mexico, my pishi and I got our vaccination done last Monday. I have 2 more to go which is scheduled for next Tuesday. Pishi has printed a check list before we go. Haven't started on it yet though!
I finally got all my documentation ready for my insurance company and finally submitted my request for 2 courses to my company, starting from January to July! I can't wait to go back to school! I am trying to get a much expertise in quality and six sigma as possible and hopefully get ready for my ASQ exam.
I submitted my requests for my transcripts as well and am going to grad fair at U of T this weekend to see if I see any prof is doing the projects I like!
I also filled a rough copy for my PENG forms and have to talk to my dad about completing it. I am so happy to finally started the momentum for the path to more success!
Pishi and I went to ICC meeting last Sunday. This was our second time going. Similar questions as before was raised. However, I can't believe how some people can't control their emotions and be polite! You would think after living in Canada they would soften up!

Happy Halloween!!

October was a month full of partying and having guest over. Last year on Halloween, a group of our friends and us went downtown and this year it was just my pishi and I. It's amazing that in a year so many things can change. I guess everything has it's boiling point! This year we are going to a Halloween party and I haven't yet decided on the costume! I have some ideas but not finalized. My pishi is on the fence about his too. We are going to a pagosha party today for us and in 2 weeks I have my friend's over at our place. After that we are flying to Cancun Mexico for a week of relaxation thanks to my pishi!!I can't wait for that, hopefully the weather is fine.

Thanks Giving Day


www.greenventure.ca

It's exactly a month since we are back to Toronto and since then, we have been busy trying to go back to our usual schedules. My pishi has started his course and on those days that he is not around, I am helping my brother with chemistry. We have started walking outside for at least 45 minutes to 1 hour 4 days a week and tried to keep up the home made food:)I am hoping to see some results in a few month. Since July, I have not been that active and it's my intend to become fit. To that purpose, a group of my friends gathered up in the memory of the thanks giving trip we did 2 years ago to Algonquin park and went to Hilton Falls this Sunday.
We walked for 4 km and then played Badminton and talked about Islamic history!!It was great to see our friends, specially that pishi and I invited them afterwards to our apartment.
This Friday we are going to Muna's house to see little Julia.
I am beginning to understand that the more I become reluctant for doing something, the more fear kicks in!
I have been looking into some Quality courses from January to May and will hopefully finalize my decision before next week.
Pishi and I are planning to go to somewhere south to relax a bit for a week in December. I can't wait to soak up in the sun and just be relax and lazy;)

Life is getting back to its normal paste and I feel much better than before. I won hockey tickets for thursday in a draw at work. Pishi and I went to Rogers Center to watch Maple Leaves Vs. Phoenix Coyotes'. I have never been to a hocky game before. I must admit, it was one of the best experiences I have ever had!!I would definately go there again when I have kids. It was a lot of fun.
Last night we went to Marjia and Joe's house. It was fun to see my friends after 6 month and seeing Muna's baby was the best. Julia is the best baby girl ever! No crying and no being scared of crowds. If only all babies were like her, then we would all want to have kids;) well for now I am not even thinking to have kids. I feel I am still a kid and need to go back to school. I have yet to establish myself. Christine is going to Africa and it seems very exciting. We saw Marija and Joe's new house template and how they are going to do some renovation. I have to admit that the software they used to plan for this renovation was exteremly cool!! We had a virtual tour of their would be house!
Today we just relaxed and cleaned the house and tomorrow we have to go shopping and to my parents house for dinner. Sinc last week we have started walking everyday for an hour. I love it! Another thing that I am starting to do is studying along with Pishi as he is studying for his course:)

Back to T.O.!


ruby2223.gametrailers.com

We got back on Sunday at 1:30. My parents picked us up and thankfully, my mom had made us 2 dishes to survive for 2 days at least without cooking;). Pishi is done with his unpacking but my stuff is still on the bedroom floor! I still don't have enough energy to unpack and hang and clean yet! Work does take away alot of my energy, although I am not doing anything physical. It was almost draining when I got back to work to see the project that was someone else to finish it while I was gone to be sitting on my desk!!I have to finish it today as it's the manager's deadline! Apparently our new manager is all for dead lines and I already see that she is stressed out!

I was hopping to go to the Novo's Zoo even this Saturday, but I don't think I can make it, which is sad. Other than that, my friend at work, didn't get the position she wanted but still is a ray of hope, but my other friend, has got an offer and will be accepting it soon! As for me, there are still some stuff to learn before I leave this position. I want to see how the complaints are being handled and how to launch products specifically.

Iran was great, being with my in laws were extremely comfortable and fun. One of my most fears before meeting pishi was how would my future in laws be, and they are fantastic. I love my mother in Law, she is so caring and intelligent. My brother in Law is very artistic and cool and last but not least my father in law is up for any adventure. I wished we could stay more with them. As I got very spoiled by being with them.
Visiting the rest of my family, my aunts, cousins and grand mother was great and it was a refresher.

Paris, was amazing. I would definitely would love to go back and visit but for sure not no live! I can't wait to see Spain and Greece and Egypt. Hopefully those are our next endeavours!

It has been a while since I've got a chance to write here!
Last month we finally had my friends and some relatives over to our house and it was great. I love playing host! Busy with buying gifts for relatives in Iran, we are done with gifts and packed with clothes.
Today I will go to work for only 2.5 hours and then will finish off the last minute stuff that may come up. Our flight to Paris, France, is at 4:50pm today and by the time we reach Paris is morning. I should make sure to pack some Sudoko from last year experience, so not to get bored on the plane. I am excited to see Paris, since I have never been there. I always loved going to Paris, but its pleasure is twice, since I am with my pishi.
I have changed my hair color too, this time and a brunet again!! I still have to get use to my face! I look forward to going to Iran too. After 3 days in Paris, we will take off to Tehran. I am hoping that everything goes well and I get a chance to go to see my grandmother.
Hopefully when I come back and read this, I have a smile on my face and like my eyes be happy with everything.
Last but not least, happy to come back to a new set of experience as my supervisor, is going to train me on some other projects!

Party Time!

Since the last post, we have been very busy, setting up our apartment and I was on my path to recovery. Thankfully, everything has gone well with my eyes and we almost finished most of the tasks we wanted to tick off our list. This weekend, in particular was very exciting, because we finally invited people over:) Since almost everything is now set in our place. Aside from the exhaustion, I am pretty happy with the execution of the events;) Ofcouse there is always room for improvement!

I can't believe a year has gone by since last year we went to Iran to get married, our flight was on July 28th. We are going back again but unlike last year, I am not nervous at all:).
This year has gone by so fast, and it seems our love hasn't changed one single bit! We still spend half of our time kissing around and being in each others arms, just like the time we were engaged!no wait! I think we are doing it even more;)

The coming weeks before we take off, we are going to go gift shopping and I am going to invite more of my friends over.

My plans for next year is to tackle more unfinished tasks!!

Thank God everything went well with my surgery. The surgeon talked to me while he was performing the procedure, and that was why, it removed some of my stress. Non the less the sedative pill I got before hand, helped as well. Friday night was the hardest because I had a strict 15 minutes schedule of eye drops. Saturday and Sunday I mostly rested and slept and I am happy to say that I am well with 20/20 vision, actually the day after the surgery I could even make it for 20/15! I am glad that so far, everything is well. At the end of 3 month, I think my life, will fully goes back to normal, although, it already has! So far I definately recommend it!

Finally after a few years of ex peculation and thinking about doing laser eye surgery, I am off to go today, to get the procedure done. I am nervous, but at the same time positive. I haven't heard yet of any complaints from anyone. Mostly the people I have heard from, are happy and they think that was the "best decision they have made in their life!"-an exact quote from one of my friend's brothers!
Anyways, today is Friday the 13th, I am not superstitious but I hope my surgery goes well! As soon as I get me 20/20 eye sight back, I will write about it.

Why deos short weeks, tend to feel longer? Last week dragged as I suspected, but this weekend, I am glad to have a sigh of relief. We finally got our dinning table and got rid of the one we had! As my dad suggested we got another accent table and now, I can say that we have completed the living room!! The only thing left is a nice lamp.

This week, I am hoping to do some gift shopping as next week, I don't think I would be able to be outside much, specially if we end up going to one of our friend's house for lunch on saturday.
I am excited to start having people over in the next 2 weeks and I can't wait for our vacation!

Happy Canada Day


www.codexlagman.com

I can't believe Canada day is here again. One more year has passed. I can remember exactly what I did last year this time! all the moments of our excitement to get married!!

This year's long weekend, was very relaxing! We were planning to go on a trip, but decided to stay in town and enjoy being lazy;). The result is a fresh week!

We finalized our vacation plan and we confirmed our tickets. We are heading to Paris for a few days and then to Tehran.

The fish experiment wasn't that accurate, since the fish that we adopted from my parents, wasn't feeling that good in the first place and I think coming to a new environment gave itself a shock and unfortunately it died!! I was upset for a few days.

We framed the finished puzzle with a mahogany color frame on our bedroom wall. It looks beautiful.

Sport wise, we started swimming again and going to our gym and slowly I am reading the GMAT book.

Life is going smoothly and surprisingly as time passes, I feel more blessed to have pishi in my life. They say the first year of marriage is hard, well we are on our 11th month and we couldn't be happier, knock wood!! I can't wait for the second year:)

Productive days of summer!!


http://www.johnsonlakeresort.com

It is said that enjoy the lazy days of summer, however, we are enjoying it equally, by being busy!;)
I consider last week and this weekend very productive! Pishi and I are going to go to Paris and then to Iran in August, so we have finally reserved some tickets! Hopefully by mid next week we finalize the details.

We finally got a nice accent table for our 2 fish, that are surprisingly alive since March!!Actually we are going to adopt my parent's fish since, my brothers are sick of taking care of it!!Since we got an aquarium, they want to send it to us, I am not sure, if that is the best idea or not. I have heard that having odd numbers of fish is not the best surviving situation and that they have to be in even numbers, otherwise, they gang up to the third one! Well I guess that would be an experiment to see what happens, when today, I introduce the third fish to them!

One of my co-workers, gave Julie, my friend at work, and I a number of puzzles, that she didn't want. I already finished one, it is beautiful and the best part is, I think I am beginning to get the hang of puzzle making, and I can make them faster now, but at the same time, like anything new, I am obsessed by it!! We are going to buy a frame for it today and probably will hang it in our bedroom.

We started attending our car and hopefully by the end of today all the repair is done! And to finish this productive weekend. We are going to one our friend's surprise birthday dinner.
But before going there, I am going to make Baghale polo Ba mahi and Russian salad for lunch. Yummy!!

Work wise, I am enjoying my work. It is interesting, with my current job, I have a great power over most of the departments!! I never really noticed it but when one of our family friends, who is in this type business, said to me, everyone at work now are scared of you and will do as you tell them, made me think about it!! It is funny what he said, but to be honest, it is true! The results of my evaluations, investigations, requests will affect other departments and are going to be used as the basis for next move toward future decisions by the pertinent departments!!I just have to make sure, I don't misuse my power, Yuha hahaha!!

There are tasks that I would like to finish before going to our vacation, that hopefully I can start from now! Well for now, later days, as is said in the weekenders Cartoon!
