Come with me to "The HILTON"

Hi! Darlings!! How are you guys doing? This month I have become so lazy reading other blogs that I dint even open my blog page in a long time!!! Yup!  

GOAL #73 : Get 3 Stamps in my passport – in progress!

I have been meaning to post this since last month but delayed it for no reason. Today was just the day to post this.

On my visit to Saudi recently we were able to get an accommodation in the "HILTON" Hotel, Makkah. I loved this place so much.

The minute I opened my room with the "key card" I loved the room to the core.
This is the hotel map! and yes we stayed on the "19th floor". The higher you go the more beautiful its gonna look from the top.




This is the room door from the inside!



This was the mini kitchen or cooking area with a small mini fridge....





"My bed" neatly tucked... and my side table had many soft drinks to get my hands on!!!!



Woh!!! our shopping bags on the bed!!!! We did some shopping but not too much..


The other part of the room...



"The coffee table"




The best thing about the room, was the coffee maker. Who doesn't love coffee right?  we used to make coffee every morning!!!!

Oh! yaa... The internet is a must for me... where every we go... :)

The view from the hotel room window was """"a-m-a-zing""""

v

Our dining table...

I loved having some chocolates... !!



Once we had gone out, and when we came back we were surprised to see this plate of fruits sitting on the table... YAY!!! complementary from the hotel...

The bathroom... with a good shower space...

The Hotel lobby...



They were many Hilton towers in the area. If I can remember we were in "Tower 5". Once me and my sister got confused and went to some other "Tower". It was really hard finding our way out. Hahaha!!
I seriously had a very good "Hilton experience". Watching this pics feels like going back to the place and living the moments all over again. This trip really left a special mark in my life that just cant be erased.

Mani Padi time is the best time...

Hello everyone..

I am sorry I haven't been around my blog much in recent days. But I have some good news, as everyone knows I was out. I had been to Saudi and just returned few days back. It was Great! I had the best time. So I have been trying to write a post since many days but just couldn't. I have to say the longer you stay away from blogging, the harder it is to get back.

Nways.. Today was the best time to write.. so lets start..

I STILL REMEMBER MY 101 goals, IF YOU DON’T THEN click here to read about it. Am talking about two of these today.

#73 : Get 3 Stamps in my passport – in progress!

Visited Saudi Arabia.

2 more of these visits abroad and I’ll be able to mark off this GOAL. J

 #92 : Get a Mani Pedi – Check!

I LOVED it.

Nothing makes you feel better than being pampered. A peaceful mani/pedi was definitely a right choice. You’ll feel rejuvenated in no time as your nails are trimmed, shaped, filed, groomed, oiled and massaged. It was so relaxing. And I deserved it after a long trip and the traveling.

The best part was getting a stone food massage. I really could have fallen asleep in that chair, but I felt it might be rude. The whole process took about an hour or two. The girl who did my nails said I had much dry or dead skin on my nails? which needs to be taken out by one or two more session of mani-pedi. This means I need to pay a visit to the salon again after 15days. I was surprised, coz I dint knew about it. But no worries I don’t mind going as many times, coz I love getting my nails done anyday.J

Ladies take some time for yourself even when you are busy or even when you don’t feel like it. You gotta remember to treat yourself. It will be worth it!!

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

How was your weekend?

linking up with

SUNDAY DINNER!!!

Today am marking off two goals in my 101 list of goals…

#10: try out atleast 15new restaurants

#11:try 5 foods I have never had before

SUFI Persian Restaurant..

In event of my cousin bro’s engagement, my cousin treated us(cousins) with a “Big fat Dinner”.

We had to pick the restaurant, and after a lot of "googling" and "talking" we choose this place. Only cause we had never tasted Iranian/Persian food and also cause it was very near to our place.

View from the Entrance

We went ahead of our time, so we got our table in no time.

Our table was very cozy and comfy, like the traditional Iranian style table where you get to keep ur feet on the little couches.

The first thing that catches ur breath when u go there is the ambiance. The ambiance of this place was amazing. But I have gotta say the food and the service sucked!

FOOD!!

When we ordered the food, instead of getting the appetizers first we got the main course food which was a “GRAVY with naan”

For the appetizers we had chicken KABAABs and chicken wings.. which came without the sauces..

The Chicken wings

The chicken kabaab was good!

Our RICE and the chicken got messed up. We order for a different thing and they served us some other thing… Awesome!!! Hahaha

this plate of chicken is only thing i loved the most!

After watching a few "Master Chief epis" i can say that the presentation of the plate is not that good.. could ave been a lil better... haha :)

SERVICE!!

OMG! don’t get me started on this guys..

SO many issues.. Our order took forever to be served. Our plates were not even placed on the table. We had to ask them everything, from glasses to tissues to spoons … everything…

Our table

Overall it was not so bad experience. Atleast I gotta taste a different cuisine and had an amazing time.

Thanks everyone for the company. I got a chance to sneak away to mini IRAN.. J

My vegetarian week…. #7 - Check

I am so lacking behind my 101 list of goals. ( if u haven’t read my 101 goals already then click here) Though I’ave completed a few of them, I was putting it off to POST about that. J

Today I get to mark off the first thing in my 101 goals in 1001 days list.

#7 – Go vegetarian for a week!

Going vegan! Going off meat..

How hard can it be…?? Let me tell you it wasn’t so easy! But I finally managed to do it.. so cheers to that.!! J

I was never on a vegetarian diet before nor I am a 100% non-vegetarian. I eat very few and specific veggies!!

This was a healthy thing to do. The only thing is living in a house where my family isn’t vegetarian, I don’t know how I did it. I was running out of options to eat…. Hahaha.. J

Its gonna make the process a bit easy, just avoid the smell of the MEAT, it makes you really want to eat it…. Haha J

I felt really good going vegetarian for healthy reasons.

I feel like doing it every month for a week now. But donno if that is gonna happen.. J J

If you want to go vegan then remember to eat GREENS, NUTS, RICE and FRUITS too…( u wanna get adequate nutrients) J

And also remember you can still eat cheese, chocolates, chips and Ice cream right…?? ..? J

Healthy eating!! Love ya…

My list of 101 goals…

So, do anybody out there read my blog!! Just tell me already….!! Do I need to stop writing or what… ?? Please!! Just be honest….

The thing is I had added a new PAGE to my blog over a month now - “ MY 101 goals in 1001 days”… n I was waiting for all ur comment and queries to pop up... but all I got is “NOTHING”…. It appears to me as if no one even cares to read what I write.. and only once in “gazillions days” do I get a comment or two...

Seriously guys it makes me wanna wonder, do any single one of you reads “my post”….???...??

Do I have even have a “silence audience” ..???

Even though it feels like no one reads blog’s, there’s always that chance that someone will. And even if no one actually reads it you can always look back and think what was I thinking that day….

Whatever..!! so now if you haven’t read my “PAGE” then just click here to read…

And as I finish completing a TASK, I’ll be happy to blog about it too… Remember the best way to make me happy is by ur comments :0)…

So leave a COMMENT below (even though its just a “hi” J)… and let me know what changes do I need to make or what goals can I add !!! J

101goals to go…
