The New Spidey: Better or Worse? And Something Completely Irrelevant.

Hey guys! So, as you can see from the title, you'll probably presume that I have watched the new Spiderman movie, The Amazing Spiderman. Recently I've seen loads of people argue about the fact that Andrew Garfield was better or Tobey Maguire was better and blaaah blaaah blaah. So I decided to give my view. Most of the people who have said that Andrew Garfield was better, were girls that were infatuated by the apparent heartthrob, Andy Garfield. And ofcourse, the classic and loyal fans of the Spiderman Trilogy will continue to support Mr. Tobey. As a neutral watcher of all of the four movies, I'd have to give it to Mr. Garfield. Yes, his acting was superb. He presented the idea of a 'geek' excellently, being so nervous each time he spoke to his crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). Just his overall representation of Spiderman was very similar to the good old comics and the cartoons. No doubt, Tobey Maguire was great as well, but Andy did a fantastic job as the new Spidey.





And in terms of the movie, I really enjoyed it. That too, in 3D. The action scenes, the Lizard Man, everything   impressed me and exceeded my expectations. I really thought that it would be an average movie since the whole cast was replaced. But I was really impressed.

Anyway, for all those who havent watched it, I suggest you do asap! You'll have a heck of a time, trust me.



Well, now its time for the 'Something Completely Irrelevant' part of the post.

Have any of you guys EVER traveled in a public bus? It is a HECK of an experience. I nearly died had a heart attack the first time. Its crazy! I wanted to try it for the heck of it. Guys seriously have to JUMP onto the bus to get on. It doesn't stop. It just slows down and you have to literally run after it and JUMP on it. And sometimes, its SO crowded. People have to freaking climb the bus and sit on the roof, its hilarious! And  SO, SO dangerous!



Haha, it was a lot of fun. And its the same case while getting off. You have to jump off like some sort of stuntman in an action scene from a movie. Ok maybe thats an exaggeration, but you DO have to jump off a moving vehicle! And the people on the bus, they are usually ones who are manual labourers or are looking for cheap transport, so they really STARE at people like me, dressed in western clothes. And something hilarious happened with me as well.




I was standing at the exit of the bus, where I was getting ready to jump off as it slows down. I had my headphones plugged into my phone, and my phone was in my pocket. As soon as the bus slowed down, I felt a slight tug on the wire coming out of my pocket. I quickly turned and looked at it, and I saw a random hand grabbing the wire. I honestly was confused, and realized it was a pick-pocket! So I looked up, but the person, as cunning as a fox, quickly took back his hand immediately, and I couldn't recognize the thief. The bus was SO crowded, it could've been anyone's hand. So I just jumped off quickly, and checked my pockets. Thank God, nothing was missing.


Just LOOK at that! Those people climbing the bus, they're climbing it while its MOVING. Oh how I love my country and its people, haha.

What an experience, honestly.

Solitude.

Sometimes, people complain about how lonely they feel. Or how alone they are in life, and that they have no one to socialize with or to interact with.Well, yeah I do agree that it kind of sucks at times. When I moved here, I was like any new guy would be. I didn't have friends, I didn't know anyone and I had no social life. I hated it. But the only thing that helped me survive before I made friends, were my TRUE friends. Books, the internet, movies, video games and TV. Yes. My true friends. Things that never leave me ( thank God for that).

In two years time, things got back to normal. I went to school, started making friends from everywhere and I got back to the busy life schedule that I had. Only then, I truly realized the amazing feeling of solitude. Being alone isn't always so bad, I mean only if you know that you're not friendless, but yeah, being alone can be really great.

Firstly, its SO relaxing. Simply lying there on your bed or on the sofa, listening to your favourite music and relaxing your muscles feels awesome. Its like, one of my favourite things to do. I dont know about everyone else, but try it. Just clear your mind once, and lie down, listen to music and just relaaaax. It relieves mental stress, tension and anxiety as well.

Also, reading is one of the few awesome parts of solitude. Im guessing that most people who blog, and read blogs also read novels. Being alone, and reading an awesome novel is a LOT of fun. Especially novels like Harry Potter. I remember before when I read The Deathly Hallows, I used to be SO indulged in it that an actual illustration would play in my head as I'd read the book, and I would be completely isolated from whatever was around me. I wouldn't even be able to hear my parents call me. It was SO intriguing.



And all the other stuff too, surfing the internet and watching all the random and funny videos on Youtube, watching movies, watching TV, doing all of these things alone can sometimes be MUCH more fun rather than doing them with friends. Its because you can do as you please, and you feel relaxed about not having any commitments (this only works if you're on vacation, haha).

Also, praying can really calm your mind. And doing it alone. Asking God for what you want, and praying to Him makes you feel very relaxed as well.

So yeah, being alone isn't as bad as they all say. You just need to embrace what you have and learn to use it for your own good, and it usually turns out to be quite awesome.



So true.

The Best Day Of My Life? Probably.

You know, its not about where you spend your day or how you spend it. Its about who you spend it with. Whether it may be with yourself (alone time), with your friends, your family, or your lovers, thats what matters. Who you spend it with.

Last Thursday, what would've seemed like a mediocre 'time out with friends' ended up being the best day of my life. Probably.

We didn't do much, other than hang out. It was just a few friends, and someone that was more than a friend. Yes people, since you wanted me to blog more about that special someone, and since I mentioned earlier that I will be seeing her more often, she came too. And she was the one who made my day. Well, she makes my day everyday. So nothing big there. But something was special about last Thursday. Something that words simply cant describe. Or maybe my vocabulary isn't as capacious for me to explain. But it was a day I probably wont forget.

She's so beautiful, you know? I mean, not just physically. As a person. She's a beautiful person. The extent that someone would go to just because they care about someone is limited, or so I thought it was. And I can't even begin to be thankful that I met her. Because it wouldn't be enough.

Anyway, we were supposed to go out to Cinnabon. I love their cinnamon rolls. Ever tried them? If not, PLEASE do. Its in Dolmen City, Clifton. You should try it asap!



Looks delicious, doesn't it? I love this stuff. Anyway, I got there a bit earlier, and waited. I was looking down from the first floor, and I finally saw her arrive. And my oh my, did she make my jaw drop. I was flabbergasted.

Anyway, I said my hello's and hi's to my friends, and we proceeded to Cinnabon. We had great laughs, and enjoyed every bit of it. We then walked around the mall, acted foolish and went into Hyperstar. There, some of my friends wanted to try the food (for some odd reason, haha).

After having a good time at Dolmen, we went to get some fresh air. Yes. We went to Hilal Park. Now here is where we got kind of retarded. We started playing truth or dare, and dared eachother ridiculous things. We dared two girls to give flowers to two random guys. It was hilarious, haha. And we dared a guy to hug a random child, and that little kid started crying when he approached him! It was so funny. He probably thought that he would be kidnapped.

Well, then we said our goodbyes, and eventually went home. But it was a great day, a great way to start the forever-awaited-summer.

FREEDOM!

Hello everyone! Guess what?


MY EXAMS ARE OVER. FINALLY. SHUKAR KHUDA KA (Thank God!).
I feel so free. Like a bird. If only I could fly...

I feel like doing exactly this:



Its such an awesome feeling. Most of you probably know how its like. It feels as if you can do anything you want, whatsoever, and no responsibilities, commitments or tasks are stopping you from doing so. You finally get to do what YOU want, not what you should. And best of all, this time around, schools AFTER EID! HELL TO THE YES. I am so happy. And what a way to end the day, I had math! And it was a quite good paper for me!

Anyways, most of you are also free, or are on the verge of freedom, so please do tell me your plans for the summer!

I plan to do many things! I want to continue my football and Muay Thai training, my nani is coming from Dubai this summer (YAY!), and lastly, im going to spend as much time as I can with someone who's just simply amazing. Exams have been really annoying, and I haven't been out with her for quite a while now. But I shall meet her tomorrow, and I cant wait!

Oh and I also plan on catching up with all the awesome movies I missed out because of the intense time I spent  doing nothing  studying. Let me know of some good movies in the comments!

Anyways, I shall be blogging more often now since I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

For now, take care people! Ceeeya.

What a Day.

Today was officially my last day at school. And to be completely honest, no matter how crappy my school was, I'll miss it. Well, not the school or the teachers or anything, but the experiences I've had through the school. The friends. All that. I dont know how I felt today after I walked out through the school gates for the last time. It was hard to believe that I probably wouldnt walk through that door the next morning, or even for weeks.

I'll miss school life. How its so easy, without as much work to do. But hey, everyone grows up eventually, don't they?





Its all SO good...
Right.

Anyways.

I didn't want to blog about my last day today. I wanted to write about something else. About someone I know. Someone who I haven't known for long, but perhaps, maybe I've known her forever. From some other life. Or maybe from some other dimension. Must be something. No one can just click so fast. There must be something, some sort of connection.

It all happened so fast, and is happening fast. I don't know if I can control it, or even if I want to. Who knows of tomorrow? Live like there's no tomorrow. Make the most out of any opportunity you get. You never know, tomorrow may be something you never expected.

Yeah, I'm never expressive face-to-face. Not as much anyway. But here is one place where I can let it all out. Emotions, feelings, blaaah deee booo. Everything. All I want to say right now, is that what happened today is indescribable. I don't know if there are words. If there are, I wish my vocabulary was that widespread, so I'd be able to describe it. Or maybe the words just haven't been invented yet.

I just know that I loved every bit of it.

Cant Wait...

One of the most anticipated things of this year for me has ALMOST arrived. Almost. It makes me annoyed, irritated and stressed to see the word 'almost' flash over and over again in my head. But yes, sometimes, even when something is SO close, it seemingly takes ages, or EONS (yes, exaggeration does leave an impression of how serious the matter is) for it to actually arrive.

I cant wait till it ends. Till its all over. Till I'm done with this school. With my O' Levels. I'm tired of doing what I dont want. Tired of studying unnecessary subjects. Tired of focusing on what I'm NOT supposed to focus. Most importantly, I'm GLAD that I'm done with this God forsaken school. Yeah, I admit I'll miss my friends from my apparent, 'new' school. But that's it. The system, facilities (Psh, as if there were any), faculty (maybe except one, or two) is something I most definitely WONT miss.


What I miss is my school back where I used to live. It was perfect for me. But lets not let nostalgia take over once more. Yeah, I'll obviously miss the kind of life I have at school. Easy, very few responsibilities, causing trouble with my friends. I know I'll miss these days as the "good ol' days".
 My point is, after I'm done, what awaits is something known as College Life. Yeah, I've heard a LOT about it. Parties, fun, socializing, blaaah dee boooo! Whatever it is, I cant wait for something new. Something non-monotonous. I'm exhausted of the same sickening routine every f***ing day. Seriously. And the worst part is, the days pass by SO slow.



I'm tired of studying all day. Sitting on the same table, staring at the same textbook I've been staring at for 3 years, and reading the same chapter over and over again, causing a meltdown in my head. I just hope I get into the A level school I want. Cant wait till these exams are over, and I get my results so I can apply!

Oh and, before results, and after exams. SUMMER HOLIDAYS. CAN NOT WAIT. I have SO many things planned. I shall continue my Muay Thai training, since Ive been on a break recently. I'll watch SO many movies that I need to catch up on. Read all the books that I was planning to. Best of all, I'll NOT study. The joy of even the mere thought makes me want to cry of happiness. Makes me shed tears.

Anyway, I just hope time flies. I mean, im  NOT having fun. But still. Hope it does anyway.
Well, hope you guys have been having a great time! Ciao!

Another Dimension. A Different World.

Time for another movie influenced post? Yes!

Recently I just went to watch this kick-ass movie, called John Carter. Have you guys watched it? If no, watch it. Now. Just do it. It leaves you thinking. Besides, when does Disney ever make anything that isn't worth watching?



Its basically about this warrior who was in the army, and gets sent to another planet by accident. Pretty good movie, but I didn't want to blog about the movie. It was the thought of being in a different world that came to me, and made me think

Imagine. You are suddenly transported to a totally world that would be totally unapprehended? It could be anything. Another dimension. Planet. Galaxy. Solar system.

Things like these make me ponder about the Bermuda Triangle. Black holes. Where did all those ships go? Where are those people now? Maybe the supernatural things, that are out of our comprehension and are without explanation really exist. Maybe there IS life on mars. Maybe half-nude aliens, running around with sticks and four arms DO exist? (Movie reference. Do not think im crazy!).



Imagine if we actually met them. I'd probably run away. Sometimes, I actually feel like going to places like the Bermuda Triangle. But then you never know what'd happen to you. So it just seems REALLY scary.

What if there were monsters? Monsters that destroyed anything that seemed alien to them. What if there were human-like figures who loved feasting on humans?

Eventhough it sounds ridiculous, we all think about it. Freaks. Monsters. New dimensions. Anti-gravity. Witches under our bed. A face on the window at night, before going to bed. The supernatural will always be interesting, and will not go out of fashion until we completely figure it out. Which is never.

Anyway, hope you liked this post. It was relatively short, because of my relatively short amount of free time. I dont even think I HAVE free time. But I felt like I had to post something. And because a special someone was missing my blogs. So hope you like it!
