I’m at work now so I’m gonna keep this short. This is mainly for you Cici since you’re probably the only one reading. I will no longer use WordPress to blog. I liked it but it’s getting a little too limited. There isn’t much function here. So I will be going back to Blogspot : bahirahkhalid.blogspot.com … More Goodbye, WordPress

Have you ever read Cruel Beauty by Rosemund Hodge? It’s a beautifully written novel. I’m not usually one for love stories. But I especially loved this book because it featured a pair of twin sisters, Nyx and Astraia Triskelion. These sisters were born into a kingdom that was ruled by demons. And Nyx, even before she was born, was chosen by … More Bahiyah Khalid : The Three Virtues

2015 flew by really fast for me. It’s December 1st, 2015 today. We are just days away from the end 2015. This time of year, for most people, is a time of reflection. And I guess, when you are approaching the end, you start thinking about the beginning. This year, I’ve written several posts that reflected my thoughts on a … More A Tough Year

But what made the post went viral was the fact that she was insulted and mocked for writing her post in English. … More English Pun Salah Ka?

I recently saw a post on FB of a girl ranting about snobbish salesgirls at a high-end store. She was frustrated that these salesgirl treated her poorly (notice the pun?) just because of her appearance. In her post, she talked about how the salesgirl or salesman (not to be sexist) keep emphasizing the price tags to her … More Snobbish Workers at High-end stores

“In these times I don’t, in a manner of speaking, know what I want; perhaps I don’t want what I know and want what I don’t know.” ― Marsilio Ficino, The Letters of Marsilio Ficino, Vol. 3 I think by now I had made it pretty clear that I am very very anxious about this year. … More …23 & Totally, Completely & Utterly Lost

At the beginning of every new year, people are always racing to create a list of things they would like to accomplish within this year. To be honest, I have never been a “bucket lists” or “resolutions” kind of person. And that is because 1. I always forget about it. 2. I am more of a one-mission-at-a-time kind of … More My Reverse Bucket List

When I was younger I noticed that older people always slipped childhood stories into the conversations. I used to never understand why and quite frankly I find it boring and pointless to bring up such stories when they do not apply to the current, or should I say ‘modern’ lifestyle. But as I get older, I start … More The Story of My Childhood
