9 months anniversary

Yes, it's 9 months already yesterday.. I can't believe how fast time goes. But you know what? I am really excited about getting closer to our one year anniversary :)

So how did we celebrate? Well we wanted to go to the movies for quite some time so we did. The movie was hardly an anniversary romantic sort of thing.. it was Blood Diamond. What can I say about it? It is a horribly good movie. Some of the scenes were really heart-aching but it revived in me the feeling that Africa is a truly unfortunate place. The terrible chain of diamonds starts with the poorest people in the world digging it up in the worst conditions to go to the hands of the rich Europeans who buy them, then to hands of the poor people of India cramped in factories to actually manufacture them only to end up in the hands of the rich people again who buy them as gifts and wear them in rings and necklaces. In this chain, who does all the work? and who gets all the enjoyment? It's sadly ironic.

anyway, to end on a happy note again, I can't stop thinking about celebrating our first annual anniversary.. hmmmm.. what will Ali do to surprise me? :)
