The Liebster Blog Award

I've been nominated for The Liebster Blog Award, by Hira from Views and Reviews.
Thanks hun! <3

Wtf is 'Leibster'? Well, I googled, and apparently it means "Dearest" in German. Aww. 
Its basically for blogs with less than 200 followers, so you know, more people find out about our awesomeness and FOLLOW us. And stuff.




The basic rules:

1. Each person chosen must provide 11 facts about themselves.
2. Answer the 11 questions that the blogger who tagged you has given, then think of 11 questions for the people you tag.
3. Choose 11 people to receive the award and link them in your post.
4. Be sure to tell these people that you've tagged them.
5. Don't tag the person who tagged you.

Sounds fun-ish. Here goes.

11 facts about me:

1.   I don't really like to wear heels all that much. I barely have two- flats are more of my thing since I'm tall-ish... (5ft something) and well, heels make me tower over all my friends in a less model, more giant sorta way. BUTTT, my uncle gave me these killer new wedges last week and you guys? I am in loove. 

2.   I am really, really into Tutti Frutti's froyo. 

The best way to eat it: A little of Pomegranate, Tart and Mango, topped with the fresh fruit of your choice (not that icky canned stuff) and swirls of bitter sweet Hershey's choc syrup. MMMMMMMMM.

3.   I love Glee, and everything to do with it. The songs are awesome, the funny in it is awesome and The Glee Project? Is awesome x 2. 

4.   I am a huge, lazy bum. I've been promising you guys a giveaway here for soo long, and I've still not got the post done. BUT ITS COMING YOU GUYS. Soon.

5.   I'm not strongly opposed to getting engaged/married at this age (19). A lot of people think that I'm not being feminist, and/or submitting to the typical Pakistani society narrow mindedness, but seriously? I don't think its a big deal. If I like a guy and fall in love with him, I want to keep things as, well, halal as possible by getting engaged/marrying his azz and having the best honey moon of my life asap. By which I obviously mean Disney World and... The Harry Potter Theme Park!!!!! Yay.

6.   My parents think I'm crazy. As in she-needs-a-psychologist crazy. This is because I want to Major.In.English. It's also one of the reasons why I totally identify with that crazy girl Hannah, in HBO's Girls. Other reasons including the 'fat' thing and the 'clueless factor' she has going on. :C

7.   I trust too easily, and sometimes, that sucks.

8.   I'm waayy too open. Sometimes that sucks x 1324091324.

9.  I LOVE to sing and draw and read. And I like to think I'm at least above average at all three things. 

10.   I'm a hopeless romantic and a sucker for chivalry. Also a believer of the quote 'If you can make a girl laugh - you can make her do anything.' [Well. You know, mostly anything.]

11.   My biggest dream is to one day get my own awesome Meg Cabot/JK Rowling esq (or even better) book published. InshAllah.

Another Award! And GIVEAWAY!

Yup, I won another award from Kanwal from Kanwalful Meets World!

I'm passing it on to: 1. The Story Siren 2. Jessi from The Musings of A Wannabe Star 3. Chick Lit Teens 4. Cafe Fashionista 5. Saleeha from This Blog Doesn't Have a Name Because The Author Isn't Creative Enough To Come Up With On. 6. Sara Hassan All of these bloggers are as trendy as you can get. In other news, guess what, I have SIXTEEN followers now! Yeah. I know. I'm famous. Anyway so to celebrate, I decided to, [what else?] HAVE A GIVEAWAY! And this is what I'm giving away:

Yup, you got it folks! One healthy, one year old boy! Well, hes supposed to be my brother, but sometimes his super cuteness [read: the ability to pee in my room again and again] REALLY annoys me. For example, lets take yesterday. So, at the moment, he has a rash like all babies do, (at some point in their teeny years), and so my mom and the massi [maid] had literally let him roam around butt naked in the whole house. Remember when I told you my sisters had taken over my room, and I dont have a room anymore? Well, looks like this little guy decided to mark his territory on- drum roll please- my BED, yesterday. It was a pretty scarred-for-life moment. At one instance I was happily watching Lost on my HP, the other, I heard this light tinkling sound [I kid you not] and he was finely spraying my bed with Pee. Then I got really mad because I had SPECIFICALLY told her [the massi] not to let the baby in without a diaper, cause guess what, he also has an upset tummy. Thank God there was nothing of the number two variety happening, or I would have seriously lost it. Later, when I picked him up and tried to give him a cuddle, he slapped me in the face with his plastic keys as hard as he could. Dude. THAT. FREAKING. HURT. Ibrahim, to his credit, just looked at me and laughed. Babies are evil.

Anyway, if you win him, here are some things you need to know.

• If Iboo cries and you canNOT make him stop:

Ibrahim listening to Lady Gaga's Bad Romance, after throwing a baby tantrum.

Some good music will do the trick.

• Ibrahim loves Ice cream and Lollipops.

and also, flip flops.

• Ibrahim enjoys rides in his personal carriage.

• But above all, Ibrahim excels at being adorable.

Dont you just wanna eat me up? Well, thats all for now folks. If you wanna win this mini hunk, all you gotta do is leave a comment! Good Luck to you all! xoxo CLG
