I'm moving my updates to a different blog, http://www.farah-faisal.blogspot.com, since it's an easier address to remember and spell. It's been a great ride updating this blog, hope you'll follow me on to the next chapter!

Decided to change the song and the pic.. heheh.... I wasn't exactly a big fan of Take That ( I was nuts for Boyzone, damn the boyband era ), but I think this song happens to be very sweet. I was a sucker for Take That's "Back For Good", if a guy sings that to me, I'll be his forever ( heheheh... yeah, I know it's silly, but I do love that song ). I love the melody of "Back For Good", and somehow the song seemed, I dunno, kinda sincere to me... that the guy realized that he made a mistake and that sometimes what we have is what we want after all. of course, that never is the case in real life, but it's a nice thought to bear in mind, whether you're optimistic, jaded, or just plain scared of being hurt again. I guess I chose "Never Forget" because I feel that ever since I first laid foot on American soil, I've had so many experiences that will always be permanently etched in my mind, and while not all of them are good, they're not all bad either. I've made friends, I've lost contact with some, I've hurt friends and have been hurt by friends, I've met different kinds of interesting people that have broadened my perspective ( and in turn, I think in a way, I have broadened theirs too ), I've loved and had my heart broken so that I learn something else new... picking up the pieces. I've been good, I've been bad, only to discover that I really do want to be a good girl, for me, not for anyone else. I've worked and I took a break from work and learned that I prefer working and earn cash.. heheh....

Dave introduced me to this photographer friend of his, who is really cool, and we just started talking about stuff. His work is really good, and he asked me how the US changed me, if I change at all. I told him that America didn't change me, it's the experiences that I had here that showed me so many things and at the same time, show me that there are many more things that are left to be discovered. I told him what I really want is something that reminds me of who I was and who I am, just so that I can see if I'm moving forward or am I still stuck in a hole . He offered his help, saying that nothing really tells a story better than pictures. He told me to rack up as many old pictures that I can during the summer, and when fall comes, maybe we can some sort of a "time line" for me. Hehehe... hope he wasn't just saying that, it would really be cool to have pictures of me then and now, because my picture collection is all over the place. Maybe I can even send a copy back home for my family to remember me by...

Talking about pictures, tadi bosan study, so I stiched up a few pics of me, hehehe... currently working on a collage that includes friends and family, but that's gonna take a long time still... *sigh*....
