Eid Holidays!

The last day of the Eid Holidays.

Well, It's been a long weekend.

Eid really wasn't THAT exciting or tiring as I expected to be. I did have loads of fun with Reem yesterday for a few hours, but usually, Eid would be a MASSIVE spirit up-lifter. I mean, there'd be loads of food, lots of smiles and unknown faces. Though, I don't really enjoy most of the visiting part. On the second day of Eid, we usually go visiting in Sharjah. (It's another emirate in the UAE) And it's VERY hectic. We can't even rest a bit, 'cuz if we wanted to, we'd have to go ALL THE WAY back home. And there's SOME LOADS of traffic at the border of Dubai and Sharjah. So, last Eid, we were visiting for almost 12 hours, just eating and smiling and what not. 

1) Some of you may think that, "HEY! You should be thankful of what you're getting! A HUMONGOUS amount of people hardly get to eat ANYTHING at all." 

2) And some others may think that, "Wow! I am dying to be where you are right now! I really wanna eat. I love tasty food! I'm so hungry! It's a good thing MY metabolism allows me to eat frackloads of food without getting any fatter. *innocent smile* " (Thinking about Irene and Lisha while writing this one. Shwetha, you know what I'm talking about.)

3) While others may also think, "*fist bump* I totally feel for you, bro. It's the same for me."

Okay, and my reply to each of these people:

1) I am VERY thankful for what I get to eat. My parents brought me up showing me pictures and videos of the unfortunate people who haven't gotten anything to eat at all. My dad has always reminded me of how we could be in the same state at ANY MOMENT, 'cuz we don't know what's gonna happen. I have tried NEVER to waste any food, and if I did, my guilt would take over me like venom. But during Eid, it's TOO MUCH to eat. TOO MUCH to be thankful for. I really wouldn't mind giving some of that food to people in underdeveloped places.

2) I don't CARE that your metabolism allows to eat cartloads of food without getting fat. I ain't jealous at all!  AT ALL. I be healthy.

3) Same here. I know what you feel too. Eating a lot of food can make someone sick.

And talking about Eid and food, let's see how my Eid went. 

Day 1: I was fine in the morning. I just ate at my aunt's house and that was probably it. We visited a few homes, and went back home. Then, a few dozens of people came to our house, (including Reem. YAY!) and I was busy reading The Sea of Monsters. At night, we left again to visit another round of houses. I was feeling sick. We reached back home at 11:00 PM or something. Probably 'or something'. Then I just updated the blog, and dozed off.

Day 2: We left home at 9 or 10 AM to visit Reem's house. When I reached, I chatted a lot with Reem, and begged my parents to let me stay at her house and go back with them when we were all going to an aunt's house for lunch. I had AMAZING fun with Reem, played the drawing game (Can't wait to share it with you Hanan. But I guess you already know. If you don't, then, GREAT! I'll tell you about it.), then I left with her family to visit some other houses. I had fun, this time, 'cuz I had company. Then I had to go back with my parents and visit yet another bunch of homes. I did have some company for a little time with one of my friends at her house, but we were just geeking away about Percy Jackson and Harry Potter. Then we went back home, and I completed The Sea of Monsters and updated my blog and went to sleep.

That was KINDA a detailed detail about my Eid.

Anyway, this was pretty long. (I guess.) I got some school tomorrow. HURRAY for that. Better call Shwetha to ask about what crackloads of stuff I got due this week.

Whatever.
