my friends, there are no friends.

My title was a quote from Coco Chanel. Although my title contradicts what I am about to write right now, I just thought it was cool.
Since I am off of school this week, I have been home cleaning, babysitting, and just lounging around the house. It's pretty relaxing if you ask me, but there is a point where a girl needs to be with her friends. That is just what I did today. Me and my friends were going to watch a movie but instead, since we had a lot to talk about, we decided to stop at a resturaunt to eat and talk. We talked about our boy problems, embarrassing moments, jokes, death, other girls; you know. girl stuff. It was really therapeutic even though my mom kept texting for me asking me of my whereabouts.
Friends are pretty crucial in a girls life. They help a girl get through the toughest times that sometimes a family cant help with. Dont get me wrong, I love my family, they're my everything, but theres some things where a girl needs her girl friends for!
Im blessed to have my friends, we have all been through so much, and I love them no matter what!
God bless and thanks for reading!

make me happy :)

Today I woke up in this really good mood. It was almost scary. I'm still in a good mood right now! Everythings just been going right for me lately. I'm kinda scared that God is setting me up for something... like "Here Jenna, enjoy these last couple days before you get in a car crash" or "before you get in trouble with your parents", or "before your future goes downhill". I know its sad but its so weird... have you ever been in an amazing mood but something is holding you back? Thats exactly how I am right now. I guess i just gotta take a deep breath, sit back and enjoy life because I really don't know whats coming. Maybe I am being over dramatic, maybe something is going to happen, but that is no excuse to hold me back from being happy.
I had a really long conversation with my cousin (shout out!), and talking to her, and giving her advice made me realize that life is short to be anything but happy. I gotta live life for ME. No one should change just because other people are changing. One should change because they have the ultimate desire. After senior year of high school, I really want to work on finding myself. Me and my mother are planning to travel, just me and her. That is the exact therapy I need. I learn about all these places overseas like Italy, Rome, France, Egypt, and all these other exotic places, I've been so inspired. We watch these slideshows of these places; while others are dozing off in class, I am wide awake in astonishment wondering, Wow, how did the ancient Greeks create such a perfect statue like that without any technical help? I seriously get so amazed. Its so inspiring for me to go out and make something amazing myself! I really want to leave a mark in this world, I may not be as amazing as the Greeks were, but I at least want to be remembered for something. Time is a terrible thing to waste... Along with a mind. 
Thanks for your support!
SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE PROTESTERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD. I AM TRULY AMAZED BY YOUR COURAGE.

inspiration comes from.....

i put a lot of thought into this whole "inspiration"concept. It comes from everywhere; The people we share our lives with, what we see on TV, the things going on around us, and all that stuff. I was watching Al Jazeera with my parents and the way protesters took a stand on what they believed in was really inspiring to me. I really wanna make something of myself in this world. I want to leave a mark and actually play a significant role in others lives, not just for my satisfaction, but so I know that my time on earth was spent wisely and everything I've been through is worth it.
I was also watching TV on my own, just some random shows, and I got so inspired by some of the friendships that were shown, and now I really want to be a good friend as i saw on TV. also the love relationships they have were amazing to watch. i hope one day that i would find someone who I can confide in.
I realized one can be inspired by anything. So now i feel refreshed and I will carry on with my sewing and my art stuff.
And I will be sure to post pictures of what i make!
thanks for your support :)

What inspires you?

as im sitting here doing my art homework, i cant help but feel so unfocused... so uninspired. is it the distractions around me? is it the mood im in? is it that i need to look deeper for inspiration?
i dont know what it is, and i will never know. maybe thats what i need to figure out for myself. from now on i will look at things in a deeper way. maybe thatll help.
i really want to get back in touch with my sewing machine but the inspiration is goneeeee. i really wanna make a clothing like with a WOW factor. last summer i had sooooo much inspiration. its just gone. what was it? love? life? the carefreeness? the WARM weather?
well, until next time, ill be staring at my closet thinking of what the next big thing will be.

The most beautiful video ive ever seen.

So many revolutions are happening in the middle east. I am so proud to call myself an arab right now. I honestly from the bottom of my heart wish i was there right now. Me and my parents watch the satallite in astonishment as we see the the revolution take place before our very eyes. "The middle east will never be the same", "This is history in the making", "we had ENOUGH". Those words bring me to tears. Our people are fighting for what we believe in. I wish I was there fighting with them. I wish there was something I can do. All i can do is pray. And spread awarness. I am praying for every single person who is fighting, dying, bleeding for their country. may God help them as well.
watch this amazing video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b9yHyrlUMI&feature=player_embedded#at=166

Hey

I made a blog before and wrote about my life and actually thought people would find that interesting; I was also 13. But now, I am committed. I am 18 and learned so much over the past few years. I perceive life in a completely different way. Every day I try to learn something new, and i think the stuff I do learn is worth sharing. I am pretty excited to be writing this, I cant lie. I have so many ideas on what to do but i really want to make this spontaneous upon each day. I am planning on writing about my daily lessons and encounters I have with the world. Yeah... that sounds good. I hope to make this interesting so you will keep coming back, so here it goes.
Since I'm on break from school, I have a lot of time on my hands. I waste it on watching reruns of tv shows, but Im going to change that.... I'll let you know how that goes.
