Edinburg-- love for historical romance

Is this not exquisite? It's basically a page out of fairy tale for me.

I originally made this post two days ago, but I felt I should elaborate on this.

When I was 14 I got hooked on those paperback historical romance novels. It was whole another world for me. I have always loved history. Some part of me still feels anoter ear might've suited me better. Of course when i think of the healthcare facilities or other luxuries like AC, hot water, computers I think otherwise.

Most historical romances took place in England, Scotland, some in Asia. Scotland was my ultimate favorite. It is not because the men were always described as typical alpha male =]

I just loved the way they described the surroundings. There were always decriptions of green valleys, castles on top of those valleys, horses grazing on the field etc. It made me want to be there...

I think that's all I have to say..=] I have to go pray now.

Blood test and Vaccine

Well to begin Alhamdulillah i am just fine. My arm hurts where I got the shot. The blood test was horrible. They had to poke me 6 times before my body decided to give blood. Even then it was painful because blood just wouldn't come and they had to move the needle around a bit. I was stupid enough not to eat anything in the morning, or even drink water. I was cold in the hospital. My hands were frozen. Everytime they inserted the needle it was almost as if my vein dissapeared. One time the blood actually somewhat splattered outside. It was yucky seeing the blood rolling down my arm. But for some reason it always gets me curious. I do become a nervous wreck before they insert needles in me but I always happen to watch every little detail. It somehow makes me feel a little stronger. That overcame a fear.

I am getting another one tomorrow. I am already in pain because of the one I got yesterday who knows what tomorrow will do. I plan to go shopping today. It's irritating. I can't try on clothes when I can't even move my arm without saying ouch!

The united voices fundraiser is this sunday!! I am excited and I pray all goes well. I am a little dissapointed in myself because i can't help out with the event as much as I would like to.

My sister joined india-forums...it's a bizzare feeling to be honest. Not sure how to feel haha
