Operation: simplify: part one : cleaning my room and closet!

Task one is now complete! I went through my clothes and decided to give away a large number of items that I don't need! It wasn't really that hard, because I don't usually buy things I don't need and I am very happy with the results!
My room now is clean, well organized, simple and smells nice! I can't have enough of it!
Here are some pictures for ya:

I have separated winter, spring, summer clothes, and pants, skirts and shirts and home clothes! Now I have a section for each which makes finding the items I want easier.
Ok, you might wonder what are those pants and why are they hanging?







When I was going through my clothes, I tried every single pants to see if they fit and if I still like them! All of my pants which didn't fit last year did this time except for this one!! It is brand new! Ever since I bought it it didn't fit and I wanted to keep it hanging and look at it everyday to remember one of the reasons why I want to lose weight:
WEAR ALL THE CLOTHES I LIKE!!!












This is simply...my bed!
That's me over there when I was a kid! :)
















Last summer, my library broke down and almost killed my little sister. I still didn't buy a new one so that's how I am keeping my books now!
Those hands were made by me and my little sister and the painting and the picture are mine.
See the clarinet over there?? Oh it's in it's bag-pack! That was a gift from my good friend Steve!





And finally, that's my desk!
Mmm, a bit messier of course!

Breakfast ideas: part one!

~~Here are are couple of some really cool ideas for breakfast! I hope you like them:

- Let's start with my breakfast today:
Organic milk coming straight from a lovely free cow+ one egg+ two leaves of lettuce+ one croissant (pain au chocolat actually)
Not very very healthy! I could have replaced the egg with an organic home-farm egg and the croissant with a slice or two of homemade cake!













I also had this beautiful banana! :)

















And finally, I finished with some chinese tea without sugar! Yummie!












That was my first breakfast ideas! I think that it's good as a start! Don't you?
Here comes my second idea:

ORANGE & BANANA MILKSHAKE:
Cut one banana and one orange into slices and put it in a mixer with some milk!












And there you go!!!

















ENJOY!!!

Week In a few lines!

Hey!
I am learning more and more everyday, and finding the right path little by little! This week was a very busy one and I have learned a lot of things!
First, I have realized that we are still ages behind when it comes to making a real revolution. Peoples' minds are still the same and are unlikely to change, you will be looked down upon when they don't get what they want even if you are doing your best. That's why I have decided to fight only for those I believe really need to fight for!


I have realized that eating out is not totally bad if we make wise choices and replace certain foods with healthier ones!
In my country, there is a famous sandwich called "maqloub" that comes with fries usually, and is made of cheese, salad and tuna, or chicken or salami.
I have decided that eating it from once in a while and replacing the fries with salad and sticking to the tuna, cheese combination is a great deal! I would still eat a tasty meal out and keep it healthy!

There is another wonderful sandwich that I can eat when I am out! It's a "chapati" from El Kasbah! I haven chosen to buy it with cheese, tuna and eggs and of course harissa and some olives! This is a good choice too I think!
Otherwise I can just buy some cheese and bread when I feel hungry and don't have time to prepare anything!

One very unique week!

This week was my first in real activist action! I strongly believed in the cause of evaluating students in the most fair, just and honest possible way.
I stayed faithful to my eating habits and found alternatives to the popular fast food market: I can eat outside with slight changes and keep it healthy!
I have made a complete change in my objectives list reducing it to the minimum, basic and most important goals! :) I feel very happy at the moment and I am becoming more and more in peace with myself, my country and the world! More details to come...
~~Hugs and love~~

~~April~~ Day One: Getting ready for the new month!

Last month was not a success at all, I didn’t start well and probably it is because I planned wrongly.

I am hoping to learn from my mistakes this month, plan better, act better! I need to think more about my objectives and figure out how can I make them all work. I also need to reduce my hours of internet. I have to say that Bonzai Aphrodite inspire me in this. Well, it was her objective for the last month, and I should have followed it too! But it’s ok! It’s never too late. J

I also have to study more and read more. The Internet is a real waste of time, and I need to see how many hours do I really need every day. The essentials, nothing more. I waste my time playing games, watching silly videos, I open a lot of pages at the same time and don’t even get to finish reading them all. I have to download yoga videos . I have my own computer now, and this is going to make it a lot easier! J

Oh, one more thing, I think that knowing how to start is really important. This link from ZENHABITS says a lot about it. I am going to start on Monday, so this will allow me time to think and organize myself more. Two whole days for that! So, I better get started!
