in other random news, i have 2 (read: TWO) hugeass pimples on my face, right smack on my right cheek, to be exact. *sigh*. when will this madness ever end?

note: nope, i didn't bake the cake in the photo. nope, i didn't henna it either. yes, i do think its kickass awesome. nope, i don't think any real henna (read: lawsonia inermis) was used to decorate that cake. yes, i suspect that they actually used red icing. nope, i dunno how you can order one for your wedding. yes, i know some people who do wedding cupcakes. yes, i'll give you their contact info if you ask nicely. nope, i don't think i can pay for you. yes, i do have a credit card. nope, i don't think i should let you have it. yes, i *AM* a nice person. nope, i'm not an idiot either. yes, i do think it's a lovely cake. nope, i didn't bake that cake in the photo.

okaaaaaaayyyyy ...

didja know?

istanbul was constantinople
now it's istanbul, not constantinople
been a long time gone, old constantinople
still it's turkish delight on a moonlit night

take me back to constantinople
no you can't go back to constantinople
now it's istanbul, not constantinople
why did constantinople get the works?
that's nobody's business but the Turks ...

heh, too right!

*dreaming of turkish delights*

uhhh sorry?

hello everyone! i hope everybody had a good start to 2007. as evident in my last post, i care this much *points to an ant scrambling all over table* about "celebrating" the start of another gregorian calendar, so do excuse the lack of cheery "happy new year!" greetings in this blog *grins*.

uhhh, no, i'm not grumpy ... PMS-y maybe, but definitely NOT grumpy. hehe!

well anyway *ahem* i've been getting alot of enquiries about bridal henna and i apologise for being slow with my replies. there were rampant talks that i've fallen off the face of earth, but, that's not true, people! heh heh. don't believe anything you hear from the grapevines *nods sagely*

anyhoos, i just want to make it official (again), at this point, i'm still UNABLE to take NEW bridal henna appointments. this is due to personal reasons, and not, as rumours would have it, because i'm snooty and/or choosy and/or retiring (GASP!!! NO! not that one!). believe me, this is a VERY difficult thing for me to do 'cos i love henna and i love hennaing brides, but oh well, a girl gotta do what a girl gotta do.

i'm sorry to confuse some people with my post in december, where i wrote that i've started hennaing again. let me correct that. those appointments were made way WAY in advance and i was just fulfilling them. i only wrote i've "started" hennaing again because of the break i had during ramadan and syawal. urgh, written words can be twisted is such ugly ways sometimes and i admit my error of not proofreading my posts first.

i can't say for sure if this is a permanent or temporary thing. only Allah knows at this point. i wish i have a more definitive answer to this, but i don't. if you need a really good henna artist for your big day, i have a few recommendations. they are honest, good and talented people and i know each and every one of them personally. naturally, being the henna junkie (with an anal-retentive streak) that i am, i look only for the best, so do trust my judgement on this.

email me if you want their contacts. i'd be happy to oblige :-).
