Hi Chaldean Chatters,

I thought I would be the first to try this out. Had a great weekend. It is always good to be around good people, creative people, and do what you love to do. Thank God for that.

Am not doing anything exciting for Halloween. I would like to but it's never important enough for me to put in the effort. Maybe next year!? I always wanted to dress up as Princess Jasmine.

Hey this is kind of fun? It's like talking to someone when you don't really have anyone to talk to. Ok till next time :-D

[missbaghdad]

is this what you meant for the blog section, sam?

[missbaghdad]

ok well i am gonna keep going with this. i woke up today with a headache and i keep hearing that it's beautiful out in cali today so i am gonna venture out now!

doing some work and have a pretty big day ahead of me tomorrow. wish me luck, y'all!

[SamIAM™]

yes exactly :thumbsup:

[missbaghdad]

this is so fun. i wonder if anyone is reading this!! well i just came back home. i went to my favorite place, yes taco bell, lol. I am a cheap date! But I treated myself, thankyouverymuch! And tonight i am going to an acting class hopefully.

i am feeling better! especially since i got my paychecks in the mail today. phew! the hardest thing about being in entertainment is just how unstable your money flow can be. also my headache has gone away for the most part.

here is my quote of the day: IF HE DOESN'T CALL YOU, HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU!!!

I am sure many of you ladies have heard of the book "He's just not that into you". I did not read the whole thing, because I am a gemini and I only browse through books. But I did learn a few key bits of information on the opposite sex. The most important: When they want something, they will work hard to get it. So when a guy wants to go on a date with Miss Baghdad, he will call her and make it happen. So there is no point in expecting a guy who doesn't call Miss B, to call her. Correct? Yes I believe so.

This is fun. I feel like Carrie! If only I had her shoes.

[missbaghdad]

I had a great week. Made some good advancements career-wise. Happy with that. Exhausted, however. Trying to remind myself that every little thing I do takes time and not to rush myself so much. Need to take some pressure off myself otherwise I am gonna get sick!

Gonna nap now

[missbaghdad]

guys are lame

[Kikhwa]

guys are lame

You're being way too kind.

[missbaghdad]

^^OMG i thought foreigners couldn't post in our blogs

that freaked me out!!

well welcome to my blog kikhwa :) by the way you stole my babble-on! it wasn't for my blog but i almost named my production company babble-on. :) very cool, great minds think alike.

BLOGGING...
guys are lame but sometimes they surprise you and do something right

i've been working out again, was feeling a lack of energy. so i restarted my membership again and have gone to the gym 4x this week. wanna go to spin class again... have been meaning to get myself to one.

[missbaghdad]

ok so I MEANT to go to spin class this morning. it's ok i cleaned my whole apartment instead. look at what a good dose of procrastination (to work out) can turn into!

i feel pretty great these days (thank God).

[missbaghdad]

I am feeling incredibly creative and want to be working on another film right now. creativity is addicting.

today i went to see the director of PARADISE NOW, Hany Abu-Assad speak. It was very interesting but it also motivated me very creatively. damn it i wanna make a film.

my best friend who i never thought would get married... GOT ENGAGED!!!!!!! the world is changing, my friends. it's changing.

[missbaghdad]

ok so I HATE how impatient I am it drives me crazy!

i wish i knew how to work on that but i don't

[missbaghdad]

I <3 Michigan

I've had so much fun here. It makes me always wonder why I don't live here. I <3 Michigan!

Been doing a lot of nothing... drinking dunkin donuts coffee (YUM!), eating dolma, gurrus, macaroni, burghul, etc. sleeping too!

I love it here

[missbaghdad]

I want to go to the gym!!!! My back is hurting me from not working out in the past 3 weeks. Khateeya jismee... it's not used to this excessive amount of food, lack of exercise, drinking, coffee, etc...

[missbaghdad]

sing along with me: "I'm leeeeaving West Bloomfieeeeeeld"

Happy and sad at the same time. I love this place. I love the people, especially my family. The people out here are by far cooler, kinder, and better than those in California, especially LA. Angelenos are crazy LOL.

Ok sing along with me again "Bye bye! Bye bye bye bye!"

Did any of you know that this song actually is an Iranian song? And the words aren't "bye bye" it's "voy voy" which is kinda like "ufff" or "ahoo" or "oy vey" if you are a jew. The poor singer is declaring his life's frustration and the damn Chaldean dj's play that song to wish off the newlyweds a great night and a good life. We're all so goofy singing "bye bye bye bye" lol. It's ok, I still love the song and I still say "bye bye bye bye".

My cousins, who are younger than me, keep calling me a boater. I find it hilarious. :hysterical:

Looking forward to ending my "vacation" (thanks to teffo, I will always laugh when I call Michigan a vacation destination) and officially starting 2006.

[missbaghdad]

I changed my title from "Boater" to "Boater Lover". I'm having buyer's remorse.

[missbaghdad]

:hysterical: <------ I love that guy!

Aaaaaah I am behind. I'm doing a short film this weekend (starting tomorrow) and I have to finish learning my lines. I'm hoping this film will go to Sundance or Cannes. Need some good exposure!

Baad... what else? I'm hungry and wish I had some dolma or potata chap :( Too bad there's no Sahara or Aladdin out here. Only a bunch of Lebanese restaurants and they don't do potata chap.

Gotta get 2006 going!

[missbaghdad]

I want to confess something... since I named my blog "confessions of miss baghdad"

but I can't think of what to confess!

[missbaghdad]

Ok well I'm not very much into shameless self promotion, but this is in Arabic so maybe it doesn't count!?

I was so excited to read this article. It's from a magazine in Iraq.

Enjoy (those who can read it!)

[missbaghdad]

Well, today started out as a frustrating day. I drove from LA to Orange County to do a show... it took me 2.5 hours!!!!!

It usually takes about an hour. It was miserable. I was so stressed. As always, it could have been worse (I try to keep things in perspective!) But I still felt like :x

Then I made it to the show at a decent time, but I was LATE! I haaaaaaaate being late. It's incredibly unprofessional and :thumbdown:

I did the job, left and drove back to LA. I had an audition and it went really well. So that made me happy and made me feel like :jive:

So right now, I'm trying to figure out what to do. :think:

I love these smilies. :hysterical:

[missbaghdad]

Ugh. Someone hurt my feelings. It's funny because I think it was done on purpose. It's not a big deal but big enough to hurt a bit. Oh well, that's life. I guess people have to make themselves feel better somehow.

Anyway, I'm doing a new project that I'm very excited about! Looking forward to this 2006. January's over!? Aaaaaah life flies :D

[missbaghdad]

Well I have to give myself credit. I sometimes do have excitement in my life. I never know what to expect every week. Sometimes it's boring and depressing... sometimes it's exciting and adventurous. I guess it's the thrill of this industry.

Tomorrow I'm looking forward to... I get to work with an actor who I think is very very cute :shock: He's married and unavailable but I enjoy working with him. swoon. Hot stuff. I mean, good stuff ;-)

Baad... what else? I'm a little sick. My throat is sore. I am doing the curly look these days. I am addicted to coffee. I'm worried about Bono and his death conversations. I miss my family. Hoping to come out to Mich again for Easter or sometime soon, inshAllah :-)

[missbaghdad]

la de daaaa! i'm in a great mood right now

la de da de daaaaaa

[missbaghdad]

the one thing that pisses me off is fake friends. i know i'm supposed to be in a good mood right now (refer to above post) but bitchy fake friends make me soooooo angry!!

[missbaghdad]

OMG I'm going to be a bridesmaid!!! I'm so excited. It's my first time.

Now I just have to find out exactly what I'm supposed to do.

This is me: :jive:

[missbaghdad]

:bang:

sometimes, a girl should just know to trust her instincts!

uffff! don't worry, everything is just fine. :)

[missbaghdad]

kharra kharra kharra

kharra kharra kharra

kharra kharra kharra!!

kharra kharra kharra!!!!

ole!

[missbaghdad]

khara is my new favorite word. I've been using it all over the place. it's disgusting but it's a fun word to say!

i have so many things i want to achieve... i have to slow myself down because i tend to stress myself out!

hmmm... baad...? well my life has gotten rather interesting lately! i've been working in a new office and have been meeting many people. it's been fun :)

[missbaghdad]

i wanna go to hawaii

[missbaghdad]

I can't stand middle eastern drama BS anymore!!!

[missbaghdad]

I feel like I'm in a movie right now. When you take a screenwriting class, they tell you to put your main character at one of the most difficult, challenging, intense parts of his life in relation to what you're writing about. Then add a lot of conflict and several interesting well-rounded characters and viola you have some of the elements that go into a script. Well I feel like one of those interesting characters in someone else's movie who is going through a difficult time right now but who I really care about.

Isn't it weird how something can be SO GOOD that it's almost PERFECT yet there is something else going on under the surface? That something else is so bad that it's scary. It's almost ironic how this situation is. I pray that things will get better but I also know that I have to be proactive and helpful.

:angel:

Tomorrow is my birthday!
