old goood memories

the other day i was going through my cupboard, and i found my old scrapbook, aka my personal day to day diary. it dated august 2008 - july 2009. waay old, when i was just 17. haha. the though of it makes me feel stupid and lame. it was the time when i dint even know what LMAO and BRB and ASAP meant :P

so, it has collages, and the WORST-OF-AL-TIMES-RANDOM-STUFF. the postcards i used to collect from barbie bubble gum (yes i did that :P) newspaper letters cut and pasted in a collage. man, i dint even remember i had that book still ALIVE, in my cupboard.

well, i started reading, and it started of with me going to Lahore and meeting up with my SO-CALLED cousins from canada after 4 years. back then, we used to live in Pindi, and it wasnt a big deal to go to Lahore on weekends. this one time, we really enjoyed when we saw JANAY TU.. YA JANAY NAA together, and danced like crazy peeps on pappu :P. and the other time, we really laughed our asses off was when we saw a bunch of wanna-bees, LITERAL wanna-bees, standing on their rooftop, with dumbbells in their hands. LMAO. and they had this pretty-ly wanna-bee-ish girl standing in between. it was hillarious, i laughed out so hard and loud, that they heard me, got astonished and gave me what.did.we.do looks. LOL. i dont know, but to me it seemed they were tryin to win over the girl showing off their muscles. OMG. lame but funnnaaayyyy. :P

the other time, when me and my friend were doing absolutely nothing, in the chemistry lab, and the lab assistant called out the whole class, that these were the best students in the whole sections, u better should bring your butts up here and learn something from them. LOL

the other times when my crush used to have a crush on me, and he usually waited for me near the end of the staircase to catch up on me, and we should talk. and when he gave me those totally.blowing.away smiles :P

when my teacher, who kinda used to think of me as a very intelligent student made me the cllass monitor. i was sooo embarrassed, i was blushing.

once when my friends woke me up, early in the morning (i have the cant.wake.up.early.in.the.moring.in.the.holidays syndrome), just so that i can come online.

the first time i was proposed, and he was the one i had been waiting for, for so lonng. and when, the very first time i was somebodys valentine, and how special that day was.and the first date, yeah u can call it that, he came near my place, and i sneaked out just to see him. awed, right? :P (its all over now btw. just a shit-bag, i really thought i fancied. totally regret it now).

when i cleared all my board exams. what a relief it was. whewww. my chemistry exam was P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C, and i had no hope, at all, that i will clear it.

the first time i bough heels, and wore them to MONAL, (thats a resturaunt on Peer Sohawa, the mountain in islamabad, with loads of steep slopes and iregular path ways) and broke one on my heels. LOL.

and so much more...

the scrapbook reminded me of the long, lost good times. how careless i were back then, about EVERYTHING.  and what a freak i used to be (now that u know a lil abt my past too, u can say that too :P). i dnt think, i will ever have the guts to throw such a thing as this, no matter how lame or hillarious it is. i own it, and these were the best days of my life. =)

  1. a walk down the memory lane is almost always beautiful:) when reading something like this you tend to see yourself as if from another's view, faraway, long ago. even to ourselves, things seem stupid even though they meant a lot before. but that's when we realize how times and people have changed:)

    this was a good read:)

  11. you asked me on my blog about what was wrong then. it were a lot of things. my whole life was tearing apart. something that can't be penned, something that can't be shouted out loud explicitly. and no it wasn't my husband. he would never make me sad. it was before i got married. and that's all i can say about it:)
