Moroccan food

Hello dolls! today I want to share with all of you some of the pictures of Moroccan food (my mom's). I really love Moroccan food, it is what I grew up with and its GREAT! people always ask me about Moroccan food especially since the Moroccan restaurant that are in America seemed to be popular and are amongst the top restaurant. so people are always wondering (that haven't been to a Moroccan restaurant) what do we really cook. well Moroccan food tend to have a lot of different spices and different tastes, not really all spicy like some of the other Arabic or Indian dishes, but they have a really tasty taste hehe. Also the way the dishes are presented are very important, if you have company over it is a must for you to bring out your best dish ware, spoons and even the cup and bottle that you serve water in. enough talking here are some photos from our new year dinner,


first, always comes the Moroccan salad, its usually a lot neater, but pretty much the rise or what ever goes in the middle and things go around it on top of lettuce in a pattern. than comes the second dish, in this case we had pastilla which is SO GOOD, there are different kinds of pastila, pretty much its a thin crust and its filled with stuff on the inside, there is chicken pastila which is usually on the sweet side, in this case we had seafood pastilla, it contained things like shrimp seafood the whole deal and of course the "sha3riya" which I cant think of what its called in English same goes for the chicken one it has the sha3riya, our third dish was meat and barqooq, its sooo tasty and yummy and you eat it with home made warm Moroccan bread. after all these comes the dessert, in morocco dessert is the fruits, literally that people sometimes refer to fruit as dessert. like if they're eating fruit even if its not after a meal they would say we are eating dessert. if i tell them in American dessert is like ice cream or cake they are like "WHATTTTTT" lol I hope you guys enjoyed and learned more about my culture <3

Against abortion!

Hello people!
so the other day I got a broadcast on my blackberry that really touched my heart and I decided to share it with you lovely people, this is how it went.....

Month One.

Hi Mommy!
I am only 3/4 of an inch long,
But I have all my organs.
I love the sound of your voice.
Every time I hear it,
I wave my arms and legs.
The sound of your heart beat
Is my favorite lullaby.

Month Two.

Mommy,
Today I learned how to suck my thumb.
If you could see me
You could definitely tell that I am a baby.
I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though.
It is so nice and warm in here.

Month Three.

You know what Mommy,
I'm a GIRL!!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don't like it when you cry.
You sound so sad.
It makes me sad too,
And I cry with you even though
You can't hear me.

Month Four.

Mommy,
My hair is starting to grow.
It is very short and fine
But I will have a lot of it.
I spend a lot of my time exercising.
I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes
And stretch my arms and legs.
I am becoming quite good at it too.

Month Five.

You went to the doctor today.
Mommy, he lied to you.
He said that I'm not a baby.
I am a baby, Mommy, your baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, what's abortion?

Month Six.

I can hear that doctor again.
I don't like him.
He seems cold and heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a needle.
Mommy what is it? It burns!
Please make him stop!
I can't get away from it!
Mommy! Help me!

Month Seven.

Mommy,
I am okay.
God is helping me. 
They told me about abortion.
Why didn't you want me, Mommy?

Every abortion is just...

One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.

EXAM EATING ME ALIVE

Hello everyone, I hope that you are all great. 
Im on my "spring break" week, this semester is flying by, 
Ive realized that I tend to stress my self a lot before,during and recently even AFTER an exam. 
Like I would come home, and remember all the questions and think to myself  "OH MY GOD, I DID THAT WRONG" and than think of all the different ways that I should have done it. its never happen to me before so I dont know about this semester. 
lately my Engineering Mid-term is EATING ME ALIVE. Im thinking of all the negative things, Im thinking of how many things I think I did wrong. especially when that class only has two exams so each exam is worth A LOT. 
I was watching a documentary today and they were talking about how stress literary "makes you stupider", meaning the stress triggers a function in your brain which is the same function that allows you to remember things. and they used a university student as an example (just what I need). saying that you take a GOOD student, give him loads of work stress, he studies a lot but due to the stress he is unable to use his brain to its full capacity, thus making him less smarter than he really is. or less able to use the "weapons" he has (in the brain). which sucks, Ive come across many students that use/smoke marijuana to calm themselves, of course not too much as we know smoking weed does kill your brain cells. so yeah, this guy I know, extremely smart and is always calm and cool and is able to use his brain to its full ability and he is one of the top students. HOWEVER, due to my religious believes, many scholars say that it is forbidden for me to smoke weed, so I am not taking that as an option :( 
although there is no real saying in the Quran that say weed is forbidden, but since a lot of scholars agree its better safe than sorry. 
do you guys have any ideas or tips on how to completely distress, keep calm at all times specially during exams and stuff such as presenting and so forth. 
thank you guys for reading <3
