After waiting all these years we really didn't want to delay more. The sense of impending doom was at its lowest then, watching the news and keeping track of COVID. It didn't yet reach Saudi.<div><br></div><div>By March, cases started showing up. The wedding was early March and we'd already considered not having people kiss or shake hands. Everything seemed under control back then. Until we were stranded in two different cities.</div><div><br></div><div>For about two and a half months we were in two different cities and there was nothing either one of us can do about it. The whole country was under lockdown. No planes, trains, or automobiles could get my husband home to me. And even if there were we hadn't an apartment yet! And so we waited.</div><div><br></div><div>Living through a pandamic is stressful enough. Living through a pandamic, working in healthcare, and trying to start a new life is monstrously stressful. Worrying about accidentally infecting your family is the most stressful part.</div><div><br></div><div>Have you had any COVID dreams? They're intense, vivid dreams, sometimes nightmares, that are a result of our collective trauma due to the pandamic. People are having them all around the world. I've had my fair share.</div><div><br></div><div>Needless to say we haven't had a honeymoon. Or a vacation of any type. Oh what I would do for a vacation!</div><div><br></div><div>We've been married for 6 months, we've been together for 3. This week, we got a sofa. That's a milestone.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On the second day a lovely gentleman from Al Mosafer company helped fix the mess they made with the trail expedition I booked. He booked me a treasure hunt trail with the company <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theexplorers.sa/" target="_blank">The Explorers</a> which was downright lovely!<br />
<br />
We gathered at the Winter Park and they took us out in jeeps and sand buggies.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;"> We went on a treasure hunt for different symbols itched on the rocks, then a good hike in the super fine sand which was a whole workout, and later a bit of hiking up a mountain. Later on, they let you know that there was an easier route but this was a scenic road! My muscles were aching but I was quite happy.</span></div>

A few weeks ago I did a number of firsts:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>First time going to Al Ula. Ive been wanting to go since I was a teenager.</li>
<li>First time seriously shooting with the Leica as my primary/only camera.</li>
<li>First time being a proper tourist in my own country.</li>
</ul>
And let me tell you, they all went amazingly for first times!<br />
<br />
Let me walk you through it, as the booking process itself was an adventure:<br />
I booked through <a href="https://sa.almosafer.com/en/winter-at-tantora?ncr=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAjfvwBRCkARIsAIqSWlOqBri5Yb0DMy0RO-wlvGE0-2_lQW4SXWBZEIR2feA7cAHqsdEmY9UaAkncEALw_wcB" target="_blank">Al Mosafer website</a> which I regret to inform you was a medieval experience. You give them your number and they call you back, like in the 90s. A real throwback experience that doesn't play well with our modern banking security concerns.<br />
<br />
After booking with them on the phone they emailed me my tickets but no receipts. There were no prices on ANYTHING. So I emailed back, sent twitter DMs, and Whatsapp messages for a few days asking for a receipt of some sort, until they called me back and asked me and I quote: "Why do you want a receipt?" How do you answer that question? I just gave you a ton of money and I want proof? I went with "Well, I bought something from you and I need a receipt. Will that be a problem?". To my great pleasure I later received a semblance of a receipt.<br />
<br />
Saudi Airlines was very accommodating with the wheelchair for my mom, even though Al Mosafer agents didn't know how to add that to our booking.<br />
<br />
More on those blunders later. I may be complaining but I'm not unhappy, it's only to let you all know what to expect and who knows, maybe the company can troubleshoot.<br />
<br />
Tried to channel Ansel Adams, but didn't have enough foreground I guess.<br />
<br />
I was so dazed I didn't realize I was shooting f/8 until the evening. It's all so unreal, I still can't believe I was actually there! These are just photos from the first day. The rest is on its way!<br />
<br />
Spent the first day at Elephant rock.<br />
<br />

Been taking the Konica out again. Shot two rolls, both about 10 years post Best-By date and I adjusted the ISO accordingly. The one with the good colours is FujiFilm 400 (shot as a 200) and the blue one is a Kodak 100 (shot as a 50).<br />
<br />
I wasn't sure if the light meter worked so I went with sunny 16 and "dear God I hope this works".<br />

Remember my <a href="http://www.asmaa.cat/2015/03/my-konica-fs-1-died.html">Konica</a>? Well, I tried out the new body I found on Ebay and just had the film developed. No light leaks, works smoothly, just still not too sure about the light meter. I hope i'd be able to tell about the light meter by the next roll.<br />
<br />
Back to the toy camera adventures!<br />
<br />
I never thought I became so dependent on the grids in my viewfinder until I had to live without them. I'll have to find a way to get me a grid on the yashica.<br />
<br />
I went to Alexandria, Egypt, for a few days and only took one photo to show for it.<br />

I'm still struggling to take a camera out again and go around. The Sahrish was kind enough to walk with me around Balad the other day.<br />
<br />
BnW DigiFilm, photos are unedited, just resized to 30%.<br />

Verdict: It's a digital Holga, except a Holga is full frame. Still fun.<br />
<br />
More photos in daylight! You may notice the recurring car photo, it's becoming my test photo. Also, all photos are as-is from camera, just resized.<br />
<br />
You may also notice that my models are all just purrfect!<br />

I got a new toy, quite literally! Honestly I don't understand the hate reviews since it seemed very clear (at least to me) that it's a toy camera from the Kickstarter. What did they all expect? It feels almost as light as a Holga once you pick it up. The lens makes it a tiny bit heavier than a Holga, then you add the batteries and that's a bit more weight. But it's still a toy.<br />
<br />
It has a working film advance lever, which is hilarious and time consuming since I'm always afraid i'd move it too hard and break the fragile thing so I'm going real slow. Between real film cameras and a Holga I was never actually afraid I'd break a fragile camera before.<br />
<br />
I do like the excitement and anticipation of not knowing immediately what I shot. Instant gratification be damned! It's actually fun and easy to carry around since it's so light. Let's see what the next few days bring!<br />
<br />
Now, it is to be expected that it would perform poorly in low light, so we have evening and morning photos. Also, unboxing!<br />
<br />

Using the Digifilm 1600, actual ISO seems to be 600 though. It was quite dark and I was in the car, so I'm considerably pleased by how those turned out.<br />

So I decided to pick my self up and edit some photos and who knows, I might just take myself seriously as a photographer again.<br />
<br />
I just look at my photos and think "Those snapshots are ok. What happened to me?". How can I get back to it.<br />

<div dir="ltr">
As my old phone took matters into its own hands and refused to go on any longer, I was forced to get a new phone. And I like the photos on this phone!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I know I talk about the concussion a lot, but I have changed a lot since. The creative habits I picked up and practiced throughout the years have been difficult to go back to. I barely took a few photos on my last vacation. I've been trying to get back to photography, so, baby steps!</div>

I just couldn't stop crying.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It was a mean verbal attack from more than one man in a position of power, men I knew were not big fans of me because who's a fan of the person who keeps telling them what to do and how they're doing it wrong? I made one mistake, and little did I know they were waiting to pounce.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm not the nicest, but I'm not mean or rude. I make an effort to be pleasant. And I just want to get the job done. I'm guessing that didn't suit them much. My job is to remind them constantly every week of the exact same tasks they did the week before, give or take a thing or two. I ask once, I ask twice, I keep asking until the job is done and they're rarely on time. I think it only happened once that they submitted their work on time, I had to write a celebratory message thanking them for doing their job.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I try my best to remain neutral towards the people I work with. I don't love them, I don't hate them. They possess a number of qualities that I have to deal with, but I'm not emotionally inclined towards any of this. Apparently though, they are. And they aren't happy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'd really like to take a moment to think about how this reflects on them, but I really just want to stop thinking about it. How out proportion and downright mean their reaction was. I might as well just stop trying to be pleasant.</p>

</ul>
<li>QV hand cream</li>
<ul>

<b>Contents:</b><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>It Style Eyeliner and Mascara:</li>
<ul>
<li>Fullsize, retails at 6 Euro and 9 Euro as per the <a href="http://www.itstylemakeup.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_5_18">website</a> (which is 25 SR and 38 SR)</li>
<li>Interesting.</li>
</ul>
<li>Nivea Oil In Body Milk:</li>
<ul>
<li>Fullsize, 250 ml for 18 SR.</li>
<li>interesting. But it isn't paraben free so I probably wouldn't purchase.</li>
</ul>
<li>4 Prada perfume samples:</li>
<ul>
<li>As we agreed earlier, samples will got for 10 SR, so that'll be 40 SR.</li>
<li>the perfume was actually nice, would keep that in my bag.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Total Box Value:</b> 121 SR, even though I think perfume samples shouldn't count.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Impression of this month:</b> Still disappointed. <b>47.9% of the box value is supermarket bought and perfume samples.</b> And you know what gets to me though? The Dubai box is so much more interesting. Here's a look: </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
They get Inglot, we get Nivea and perfume samples. It's not about worth, it's about value. Our boxes are not nearly as valuable. If they don't step up their game in Saudi asap I will not be re-subscribing.</div>

I can't believe I've managed to keep a blog for 10 years...<br />
<br />
This blog started as a photo journal. I haven't photographed professionally, or willingly at all, in about a year. It's a shame. I need to get back into the habit.<br />
<br />
Today, I'd like to remember those who have left us, and those we had no choice but to leave. There has been too much to come to terms with. This is only some of it. I wish I had something more profound to write today, but this post will simply be a memorial.<br />

I know I'm late, but it just hit me. Why not review all the Glamboxes I've been receiving!<br />
<br />
For those unfamiliar with <a href="http://www.glambox.sa/en/subscribe.html">Glambox</a>, it's a beauty subscription box in the middle east. One of very few, most of which aren't quite affordable. The subscription box business hasn't quite developed here yet. I can't wait for it to get more interesting!<br />
<br />
My lovely friends got me a Glambox subscription for my birthday in June. So far I've received 4 boxes and I'm pretty sure I photographed their contents... I think.<br />
<br />
I received a year's subscription, which means each box cost 83 SR, shipping included. I'll be reviewing the personal usefulness and re-purchasability of each product. And the cost of the boxes.<br />
<br />
The lack of personalizability (yes, I'm totally making up words today) renders many items totally useless to some people, e.g. me and tanning oil. That's 116 SR wasted. Also, samples which prices I couldn't calculate will go for 10SR as that seems to be the mean.<br />
<br />
<b>So here are the boxes chronologically:</b><br />
<br />

Caring is too painful.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You get too tired of trying to swim. You're pretty sure you know how to swim, and that there is a shore somewhere, but being alone in the water is painful.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But you're always alone in that innermost place where you try to control the storms that keep pushing you under. Regardless of how supportive and loving family and friends are, some places are just for you. And this is one of them. And when you're too tired you tend to forget that you can't fight a storm, you should let it roll off you until better weather comes. You tend to forget how little control anyone has over the universe.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But some storms are man-made and those storms you need to fight. But you've been fighting too long and the shore keeps getting further. Maybe if you stop trying to live you'll find quiet existence in the bottom of the ocean.</p>

<p dir="ltr">They are a live reminder of what you don't want to turn into, and the thoughts you have of them are thoughts you never want anyone to have of you.</p>
<p dir="ltr">What do I want to be? I have a vague idea, but i know for sure what I don't want to be.</p>

I catch me seeping through the cracks of this new person I've been. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This happened after I decided to just get to know this new person, adapt to her, make peace. But then this new person is about to tweet something preposterous (to my former self), and me interferes to stop her. Me has been doing a lot of interference lately, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It means I just might be becoming myself again. </p>
<p dir="ltr">It's a very emotional process. And it doesn't help that I'm in pain. I need to sweep me clean from the inside. </p>

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">اجراء التجارب على الحيوانات أحد أهم الطرق التقليدية لتجربة المواد لمعرفة صلاحيتها للاستخدام الآدمي. من الأشياء اللي تمت تجربتها على الحيوان:</span></div>
<ul dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<li><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">مواد التجميل</span></li>
<li style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">الصابون/الشامبو</span></li>
<li style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">الأطعمة/السموم</span></li>

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">اليوم حابة اتكلم عن تجربة المواد التجميليه و الصابون على الحيوانات. زمان كنت أحاول اتجتب استعمال أي مواد تمت تجربتها على الحيوانات, بس دحين قررت انو ابدا ما أستعمل المواد التجميلية اللي: </span></div>
</div>
<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;">
<ul style="text-align: right;">
<li style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">تمت تجربتها على الحيوانات من الشركة المصنعة</span></li>
<li style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">اذا كانت الشركه المصنعة ما تجرب على الحيوانات لكن الشركة الأم (المالكه للشركة) تقوم بتجارب</span></li>
<li style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">اذا كانت الشركه المصنعة ما تجرب على الحيوانات لكن تبيع في الصين (الصين تجبر أي شركة تبغى تبيع فيها تسلم عينات لاجراء تجاربهم الخاصة على الحيوانات)</span></li>
<li style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">تحتوي على بعض المواد اللي صالحة للاستهلاك الآدمي ومنتشرة بس بصراحةما ابغى احطها على جسمي: </span></li>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sulfates</span></li>

They intrude on the universe. </p>
<p dir="ltr">They spread their arms out, instead of keeping them by their side, and never keep their legs close even. Expanding your personal space eats up other people's personal space.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also, whatever happened to being non-threatening? This display may make you feel strong, but it makes other (especially women) feel reluctant to trust you with your thoughtless intrusion on the universe. </p>

<b><u>EDIT: Allergen warning: Contains milk and egg proteins.</u></b><br />
<br />
I love it when companies send me hygiene products! I was just sent some toothpaste to try.<br />
<br />
Unilever has just launched Zendium in Saudi Arabia, though it's been around for ages in Scandinavian countries. I've been considering trying it and lo and behold they sent me a pack!<br />
<br />
According to their press release "<span style="line-height: 100%;">Zendium is the first
toothpaste to harness the power of enzymes and proteins to boost your
mouth’s natural defences". Also, it is formulated sans </span><span style="line-height: 100%;">sodium lauryl
sulphate, which is something very difficult to find in this country. There's SLS in EVERYTHING, shampoo, soap, toothpaste. I personally think it's too harsh, especially when you have dry hair and skin.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 100%;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 100%;">So here's the pack they sent me. Quite fancy. They even sent me orange juice for "The Orange Juice Test", as Zendium shouldn't make orange juice taste bad after brushing your teeth. Guess we'll find out in the morning!</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 100%;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 100%;">Also, I snapchat, or at least I'm trying to. I just can't seem to get it, you know? It's Soumzie in case you're actually interested in my sporadic snaps.</span><br />

A serious injury is any injury that has impaired my mobility and /or my ability to work. </p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Age 16:</b><br>
-Dislocated right knee. 4 weeks in cast. <br>
<b>Age 26:</b><br>
-Right knee injury, tripped on stairs in front of the supermarket. 4 weeks in brace. <br>
<b>Age 28:</b><br>
-Right knee injury, slipped on ice. Impaired mobility for 2 weeks. <br>
<b>Age 29:</b><br>
-Concussion, car crash. Three months and still recovering. <br>
-Broken right big toe and sprained left thumb, fell. 6-8 weeks for the toe, 3 weeks for the thumb. I'm in week two now. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I've apparently been getting clumsier since 26. Also, inclined to fall/injure my right knee. Not cool. </p>
