Ramadan nights


 Good evening readers, how are you all spending the last days of holy Ramadan?
I wanted to share with you one of the typical Moroccan dresses I wore, which is a gift from my mother. This kind of wear is actually called "faracha"; butterfly in arabic. I think it's so lovely, and I really like the color of it. It's also really elegant and simple at the same time, and I'm a big fan of its fabric.

The german consecration.


The world cup is over, and honestly it couldn't end any better. One month of pure football, passion and happiness. This year's competition kept again all the football lovers in suspense, constantly in the heart of the game.
From the very beginning, I supported germany. I know what you are thinking: she's not from there, why is she saying that, etc. but the truth is I can't support my national team in this kind of event and I'm not going to go all fake-cheering about an African team. I prefer to choose a team who's qualified enough and have a chance of winning. *tough*
Anyway, my love for the Mannschaft started on 2010. I wasn't interested in football back then, but this nation changed that. I was fascinated by the way they played and how incredible they were on the pitch. Unfortunately, Spain defeated them on the semi-final. Nevertheless, I didn't stop believing in them.
Now here we are, four years later, they managed to come back with an even greater organized team, like that was possible. They fought till the end with perseverance and effective efforts witch made them the best team. Especially for some players who acquired experience from previous world cups, the likes of the German maestro Bastian Schweinsteiger and the leader of the squad Philipp Lahm. After a game of husstle, Mario Götze's stunning 113th-minute chest and volley sealed made me for a moment the happiest girl alive. Don't ask me to explain it. I can't describe how I feel, I just can't.
They enchanted the entire world with the quality of their passes, their expertise, their team work and of course their individual talents. I guess the thing that captivated me the most was their bench who was full of talented players all known in their respective clubs. I can't tell you all about how astonishing I think they are, because that would make a long article. So I'm just going to add that they had an amazing world cup, they kept on getting better and they totally deserve to win. The german squad entered history.
On top of that, the majority of the players are still young... You better watch out world, because Deutschland is going to dominate international football for a while.

Worthy victory
I love you.
Seeing the boys with their WAGs was the cutest thing ever.
aw these two.

LEGEND 
Can you see me?
Can we take a moment and admire how good-looking he is?

Life update and Ramadan.


I might be saying this too much, but literally it feels like an eternity since I haven't wrote in here. In my defense, I have been really busy with finals for the three last months of the school year. So I kind of have been cut off the world, and I pretty much didn't use my laptop for anything unless it had to do with my studies. 

Now this is done, so let's get to the part of "me not writing even though I'm on vacation".

In order to explain that I must use a psychologic approach. It's not that I have problems, but I just can't explain it any other way. To begin with, I used a week of relaxation (that I'm probably gonna blog about) in Agadir to let go of all the frustration and stress that I have suffered from. The least I can say is that it helped me get back on my feet. When I got home, and faced my laptop for the first time I just could't open my blog. For some reason, I started putting pressure on myself. To think big was not the problem, but writing down was. I had so many great ideas but I always thought they weren't good enough, not appropriate, that I didn't have the time to manage such a project... 
It took me a while to finally realize that I'm only doing this for fun. I'm not going to get judged about it. And if I did, does it really matter? 
In brief, I just forgot the main idea that I had when I created this. 

However, now I'm back for good. I know I'll be gone again sooner or later, because that's life. I just can't be free all the time. But Summer is a perfect period to keep my little baby going.

Into the bargain, it's Ramadan. Our holy month finally came! I hope you are all doing fine and that you are not too hungry or thirsty. And from the bottom of my heart, I wish you are all taking our islamic duties seriously and that you are using this time to get closer to God. I can assure you that once you take the habit, it's easy to get going the rest of the year. Just remember, that it's never too late.

May the festival of lights be the harbinger of joy and prosperity. As the holy occasion of Ramadan is here and the atmosphere is filled with the spirit of mirth and love,here is hoping this festival of beauty brings your way, bright sparkles of contentment,t hat stay with you through the days ahead. My best wishes for you on your Ramadan. <3
