Crimson Tale

I always liked writing stories, so i thought I'd give it a try. Below is a link to my blog Crimson Tale.

Crimson Tale

It currently has the Prologue of two stories:
Dreams of a Monster: This is a I guess fiction type story, read it and you'll understand what I mean. I don't want to give too much away.

In Your Memory: This story is more real life, as you can probably guess by reading the prologue its a love story.

I have made it so that my readers can rate the two prologues, I don't intend to continue both the stories. I'll leave the prologue there for a while, and continue which ever gets a higher rating.

Ambigram


Above is an ambigram, I made this for two reasons. One, as a tribute my newest best friend, shau :)....and secondly, to see if someone will be stupid enough to try and push copy right infringement for me doing this. This is solely my work, it took my about 45 minutes to come up with the disign and a lot of time to do the editing, it reads HUSHAMSHAU, ya i knowthe a and m is a bit hard to read, but if u look at it as separate letters...you can read it nicely. Well hope shau...and others like this too.....below is a flash animation of the image rotating.

Memories....

Its 2 AM and I am pretty sure I am the only one up in my house, I went to sleep, but I couldn't, so I thought maybe I'd write this post that I have been meaning to write.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There he was, happily climbing up the stairs, thinking of the latest good events in his life, when it suddenly hit his ears. A certain song, coming from a television set from one of the apartments, and it was if the whole world suddenly shattered, memories came rushing in as if a dam broke. In essence they were not unhappy memories, but time and circumstances, had made them so.

Aren't memories a strange thing? In life we go through so much, so many adventures, so many happiness, so much grief....so many memories. We remember so much, yet we forget so much. They say that time heals all wounds, but does it truly?...do we really forget? Many a times do we find memories we had thought long buried, memories that we judged to no longer matter rush back into our minds, filling us with momentary happiness, or grief.

People say, always remember the good, think of the happy times, not the sad, the good that happens, not the bad. But that's the thing about memories, they aren't really happy or sad, they are just memories. The ones that once let you sleep peacefully at night, may soon become the ones that keep you up. The happy times that you spend with that someone special, may become memories of sadness and regret. All those speeches of love and sacrifice may turn into what keeps you up at nights, and at times darken your heart. The memories of once endured hardships and embarrassments may today make you laugh and feel happiness.

In life we laugh, we grieve, we cry, we enjoy....we love....and then what?....we forget?...No we don't....we remember. I am told that if one can truly come to terms with everything that happens, we will generally have happy memories. But how many of us has that luxury? To be truly at peace. But one thing I know for sure is, whether they make my laugh, or cry, or stop me from sleeping, I truly do cherish my memories, I truly cherish all the people and places and events connected to those memories, no matter how they make me feel, and I will never ever forget them. They will always matter, they will always have a place in my heart.

Money Well Spent

In regards to food, there are two kinds of people in the world, those who eat to live, and those that who live to eat. I am of the later type. I pride myself in been a bit of a gourmet. I have been to almost all (save for maybe one or two) restaurants in male' and the connected islands (meaning hulhumale', villingili, hulhule,....yes even the new restaurant they recently opened in hulhule' island hotel). But there was someplace I always wanted to go, the Ocean Breeze restaurant in the hulhumale' ferry terminal. I never got around to going there because I don’t like eating alone, and honestly there wasn’t anyone I wanted to give such an expensive diner to. My friends have got beef steaks because I don’t like eating alone hehe....but this, was just too much.

Then last Friday, I heard that breaking fast at Ocean Breeze was 150 per person. Now this was a reasonable price. But still being reasonable broke these days after buying a Playstation 3, I still couldn’t pay for my two friends that I would have to take, it wouldn’t have been fair to just give one of them a treat. Of course giving one pretty darn good girl a treat, I could have and would have done (I know...its unfair, girls get too many free stuff :P). But alas, I had no girls to take either. But since I really wanted to go, I thought maybe I could talk my two good buddies’ into paying at least 100 for themselves. Luckily I managed to do this (Yes, I may seem like a manipulative bastard, but hey they got a good meal out of it XD), one of them paid there half in full, and the other a 100. After about 5 or so calls to the damn place (It was like fully booked almost every day for the entire week), we finally got a place for the very next day due to a cancelation.

The place was pretty damn good. The food was plentiful and awesome, I especially liked the beef. And even the place was super duper nice. Like we stepped into some other place. Every time the door opened for someone to come in and we saw the outside. It was like, what’s that garbage dump out there? This restaurant was definitely the nicest in male'. I ate like a LOT, I could barely move after I had finished. And desert was awesome too; French Vanilla ice-cream and some sort of biscuit fudge dish. I don’t even like biscuit fudge, but this...this was pretty darn good. So all in all it was 150 well spend. I still would like to go there for an open budget diner, as soon as I find someone...a.k.a a girl worth bringing....or as soon as the damn girl agrees XD.

And no jokes about am I paid to advertise Ocean Breeze. I am not, but it is a place worth checking out, do it before Ramadan passes or most of you wont be able to afford it.

Fading Beauty

This is my rose, no some girl didn't give it to me, I got it off a bouquet of roses at work o.o....it was the most beautiful one in it. This photo does little justice to its beauty, all who have so far seen it agrees that its the most beautiful rose they have ever seen.
The rose is currently lying in a sorta paper wrapping in my refrigerator, cox I herd that is how it will last longest. I'll be so sad when it withers, but so far its doing pretty good. If I meet someone I want to give a rose to before this rose withers, I intend to give it to that girl.
It was just so beautiful that I had to share it with everyone....but still the picture doesn't say enough.
