Living the Irish mood

So part of being in a country is visiting some historical sites along with ALOT of shopping which I have missed doing for some long while. Anyhow.... so eventhough I missed the celebration of St Patrick day, I still am in the spirit to cheer n scream n enjoy it :D

CUTE aint I :P

Dublin, Ireland

it took about 10.30 hours to reach the airport, only slept 2 hours, wished I can go back to A2 since I missed it, was dumped for an hour in the airport... but

IT WAS ALL WORTH IT...

First day Sat. 11 Feb 06

Reached Dublin at 7.30 am; ma brother in law picked me up n reached home at almost 9 am. Saw ma sisters n sstarted screaming missing them both thus hugging em. Searched for ma niece, maitha, who was hiding in her game tent and when saw me did the "L" sign making me happy knowing she didn't forget me. Then I saw the precious new baby, Hamda, who was an adorable little cute devil sleeping in her bed. Awwwwwwwwwww simply couldn't stop kissing her n carrying her around.

I tried sleeping since I didn't have much rest in the plane, but due to the exitement couldn't and thus we went on with our plans. Breakast, omelete with croissant and Shay karrak at 10. Left home to the shopping mall at about 12pm. For the first time since my last shopping in NY end of october, this is my first REAL SHOPPING:D We spent about 4 hours in the shopping mall and surely with two crazy aunts, maitha went crazy too :P Afterwards we headed for dinner at an indian restaurant, not that good.
It was almost 10 pm and i was exhausted, thus needed to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep ZzZzzzZZ .. felt so good to be at my sister's home. even with us not being in Dubai, the fact that the family is here felt so good.

2nd day Sun 12 Feb 06


Even though slept early, but needed every bit of the hour. At about 9.30 heard ma mom voice and couldn't resist but come down n hug her. I simply missed having her around, her care, love.... a mother is the emotion God sent us.

So we had breakfast, laughing over all kiddish actions we have done and about upcoming events. It was so much just remembering those old days and our stupidness. We then went out to a castle and for a walk downtown.

Until today, third day of being here, it has been such a relaxing trip, one full of family love and care. And with mom, sisters, nieces and bro in law here, I am blessed. But surely do miss the other half of the family: ma brothers n eldest sister, dad n granny.


We never do value our family until we lose em, are distant, or simply have our own... a family is what really matters in this whole life... so love em and be close to each member of them.
