Sketch of the day.

Hi , Here is without any introduction , the sketch of the day !! 

I actually made this at school hahaha ! I don't know why , but I always get inspired the best at school !! Someone tell me Why !! *laughs* that's so weird 😂

 
comment your opinion ❤️

When I feel frustrated

You , I , us , all of us , have moments of unhappiness and frustration , actually i'm having it right now , I feel uninspired , lazy and kind of tired , school is one of the main things that cause me these frustration conditions , But what am I suppose to do when I drawn in these tough moments? Sit down and cry? NEVER!! here's a list of what does Dana do when she feels really , And I mean REALLY frustrated .

1- Working Out
It helps me a lot though ! It relieves stress and make me feel light and great ! Best of joy!! 

2-Reading
I read anything when I'm frustrated , it helps me to forget , otherwise , sitting new goals , such a great way to get inspired ! 

3-Surfing the web
The web is a great friend , It gives you lots of chances and stuffs that will keep you motivated , What a small village .

4-Chatting
when I feel frustrated I truly know that I'd have to hate my self , but I keep on looking for people to chat with , it gives me confidence , A great self-esteem builder .

5-Shopping 
Even though I don't LOVE it , But shopping is the best way to entertain yourself ! But be careful !! sometimes it can make it worse . If you know what I mean .

6-Eating chocolate 
It's a super pill !! Indulge yourself with chocolate , it's a great way to make yourself happy , even though it can gain you extra pounds but it's absolutely worth it , especially at period time , But WATCH OUT!!! Choose dark chocolate , Best of benefaction and satisfaction .

7-Going out
Having a ride at open places would give you an amazing treatment , I call it spiritual Massage , Have a walk on the beach , in the park , just go with the flow.

8-Reading Quran 
As a Muslim , I see Quran as the best treatment for any sort of issues , physical and spiritual ones . It's great to stay close to Allah [God].

9-Laughing
it's the time that I really need to laugh in , When I'm frustrated I search for any hilarious reason just to laugh out loud and forget the problems.

10-Writing
When I feel frustrated I think I really need to inspire my own self , so, I start writing anything , quotes , stories or any silly sentence , try it , it helps tho.

Eventually , I hope this post would help you whenever you feel frustrated , When you feel that , Come read it again and try some of these ways , Stay happy and inspired ! 
Love , Dana.❤️

Dana & Fitness

Bonjour !! What's up huh ? Gonna start directly , I will be honest with you all , I'm gonna open my heart and I hope ya'll show respect and love , No hate or racism please . 

I've been always an overweight girl , since my early childhood till now , And it was so hard to be an overweighted person , it's much more harder when you're a girl and a kid , You feel different , totally discriminated and other kids consider you less than them , I couldn't do many things because of the fear of being too heavy for it , every amusement park I go to , I suffer with my thoughts of being too fat to enjoy , Otherwise the other kids bullying and their laughters on me , I remember once I've went over a game that was like a small ship which  slides right and left , It was going slowly and I felt it was because of me but I didn't believe that until a boy told me to get down of the game ! He told me that I'm fat and I shouldn't play this game , I ignored him but deep in my heart I really felt like dying !! It was a bad feeling ! The worst feeling I've ever felt , I hated myself , hated my body , Hated who I am !! People didn't respect me and I didn't respect my self . Being fat has forbid the joy and the happiness of my childhood , Each place I go to I fear the heavy weight I'm suffering with , Yes I was just a little kid , But I felt that and I hate seeing anyone feeling the same !! 
I grew a bit , The suffering grew , And the fear grew more and more , As a preteen I started to care about clothes and my appearance , So the second fear which dominated on my mind was the fear of not finding my size !! I hated going on shopping !! A strong hate , Seeing these beautiful clothes but being afraid of not finding suitable ones , that feeling absolutely sucks!
It was a horrible thing to go to the fitting room and just hopping that this piece of cloth could fit on your body ! No matter what the color is or the shape or the trend is , All what matters was finding a size and just going out of the shop not feeling embarrassed. And since a time that is not so far , I've decided to make a change , I've decided to start my journey in fitness, I started at the holy month of Ramadan , I went to the gym since 9 o'clock until midnight and it was horribly difficult!! I felt with a horrible pain in each organ in my body ! But honestly it was the pain of happiness!! I started to eat better , Not LESS !! No , Just better , And it made me feel great , healthier , lighter , Much more confident , I should say that I've been always pretty in my opinion (and I mean the absolute opposite haha) but after having a healthy life  I've changed !! My face has got a pretty glow ! No more pimples or oily areas ! Otherwise, my mind, I feel smarter, more clever , Stronger and having a great positive was of thinking ! But After all these my body was the one who benefited the most !! My big tummy has become so lean and that means that the fats which were more like solid has turn into liquids ! Which are easy to get rid of , I felt slimmer ! And I was so excited for shopping !! Waiting for going into the fitting room and wearing clothes without being worried of being stuck in the middle of trying hardly to wear them ! Otherwise, I've become so active , I put on my headphones and have a walk outside, I wear my Nikes and go for a jog , I get some dumbbells and have a great workout , I take the stairs instead of the lift , I have a shower and squat under the water , I wake up and do stretches , I just have a better life now , An amazing lifestyle , and a great way to live without being afraid of anything about aging .
Here are my simple steps to do for having and amazing healthy life ! : 

1#Eat better , Not less 
2#Move !! Move !! And just go Move !! 
3#Sleep well and drink water 
4#stay happy and forget anger . 
P.S Love , Dana ❤️

How does it feel?

Hello , Today's post is clear from it's title, It's about how does it feel , I know all of you are wondering how doeas what feel? Well , Read and you will see. 

How does it feel ? How does drawing feel? How does sketching feel? How does illustrating feel? How does reading feel? How does your hobby feel? I believe that talents are blesses from God to make each one of us feel and be special , When you have a talent it becomes a hobby that practicing it will make you better and better everytime , nobody knows , maybe your talent could be the reason which would make you super famous and successful!! And to be talking about myself , I have many hobbies , Like reading,writing,drawing,fashion designing and illustrating . But I always feel different when I do any of these hobbies, But it feels more different when I spend time practicing them and growing my skills in them , Here is a list of how does it feel to have and practice your hobby . (i'm talking a bit about my self in this post but in my opinion it's kind of general .) 

It feels : 

1#blessed !
 
Being talented and having a particular hobby that you're good in makes you feel special and blessed, Drawing and illustrating makes me feel so blessed , Not any person could have the ability to draw nor illustrate but they always try hard to be good at it , But for me , I've learned drawing since I was a kid at the age of 6 , Which gave me lots of skills and an experience.

2#Creative ! 

I absolutely HATE to be dictated on what should I draw !! It makes me fee like a caged bird !! Drawing is about creativity, that's what I believe! However, You can observe a very big difference between something I drew after being dictated by somebody , And another thing I drew without any word from anyone ! Here is a sketch I drew from my own imagination and in my own way without being dictated or being tied by any drawing rule.

{It's weird , I know , Haha , yeah.} 

3#Fun ! 

Practicing a beloved hobby is fun ! As much you love it is as much you enjoy it ! For me , picking a pencil and a paper and sitting alone and draw , is the most entertaining thing ever! 

4#autodidactic ! 

When you have a talent , and you love it , making it a hobby and practicing it daily, Wouldn't you be the greatest teacher for yourself ? By doing your hobby you'll learn more and more about it and step by step you'll master it ! By your own ! You'd feel autodidactic ! 

5#expressed ! 

Don't you ever think of how to express yourself? How to show the people who you are ? Take a seat , You're talent will do that for you , Hobbies feel expressing , They tell everything about you , starting with why do you love it and ending with your successes in it , In my side , Drawing is with me since I was a kid and it expressed a lot about me , It shows the sensitive side in me , and the dreamy kid in my soul , it shows how much I love the imaginary world which gives me the chance to fly away with my thoughts , and then I pick a brush and start to draw !! Fashion designing and illustrating expresses the side of classy and glory in me , for me , each design has a story to tell. 

That's how does it feel , That's how my hobbies make me feel , They delight me and take me to my own world , How about you? How does it feel for you?

Who am I ? What people think VS reality

Hey ya'll , I'm not posting much and to be honest I don't know what to post , I've took a break of designing fashion a bit but I'll be back with a surprise in later posts , that will make ya'll happy as much as I am , However, today's post is different, It's in the category "Dana's Randoms" , Today's post is simply about who I am , in people's views and in mine , let's stop talking and start the post. 


Dana , At both views. 

People's view: 

Well , starting with what people think about me and who am I , actually it depends, some people are kinda jealous of me , I'm not that pretty nor that rich , But Many people can hate me for nothing , they see that I'm a successful student , so they think I'm an arrogant person that thinks of nothing or anything but her own self , a girl told me once : "When I first saw you at the school assembly, I thought that you're a person that doesn't even know what the word 'laughter ' means , I tgought you're a very ego person that thinks she's better that others , I thought you're a mean , rat girl , but now , I knew I was wrong."
That was an example of how people see me , However, some people love me since the first sight ! They respect me and feel like if they know me since a long time, but they feel of that after chatting with me for few minutes . 


That was how foreign people see me , But close people see another thing , people who get to know me in real are the ones who think that I'm hilarious person, and ambitious one who loves life but works for the end , who's ready to challenge anything but in a wise way , Some close people see that I'm mentally older than my age , some of them sees that I'm a calm person who doesn't get angry on anything except serious stuffs , close people see confidence at my eyes and they think I'm a very outgoing person who loves communicating with others ,some of them think I'm crazy but a very kind person , when people say I'm arrogant or ego , close people get shocked and feel that it's the most ridiculous thing ever , close people feel that I'm a polished girl , and a girl who has many talents which would help her to get a bright future , close people simply love me for who I am.

My view : 

People say what they see , but in reality I can define myself better than anyone else , I'm a classic girl , same as any girl in the world! I love makeup, fashion stuffs , and what's so on , but I don't admire these things and make my life just about them , I love to be educated, learning everyday, living each day like if there's no tomorrow, I love , I care , I cry , I laugh , I'm a regular person , I just love my self and thank God for all the blessings I've got , I'm religious, but not strict , I'm pretty but not Beautiful !! I could get sad but not depressed , I believe in positiveness , I hate negativity , I have no favorite sort of things , I simply can handle being anywhere and with anyone , I don't believe in racism, My religion taught me equality, I hate seeing any suffering person , I hate seeing hateness !  And I always would love to have a life that is full of laughter and joy , and understanding and goodness , I'm just simply , Me , Dana. 


I hope you like this post and wait for new ones , stay toned , Love , Dana .❤️❤️

A hilarious memory #2

First of all , I'm so sorry for not posting for days , I've had a hard time a bit but that doesn't matter , Let's continue our story .

My teacher Loved the dress ! She started saying many compliments that made me happy , But , deep in my mind , I thought they were just a kind of flattery , whatever , She Loved the dress and told me to get ready for going to Sharjah (Maybe , I don't remember really) To attend that art meeting where many important people will be in .

So I felt excited but a bit nervous , I thank God that my best friend was with me ! I don't know what would I do witgout her help. I made many dresses and took photos of them , and then The day has come , The day of attending that big art meeting , I was nervous , Especially when I've fount out that my teacher wanted me to make a dress before I go to sleep to show it there , I was tired that night and couldn't do any single thing , Otherwise my brain was kinda stopped of thinking of any new idea , I didn't do anything however I was ready for my teacher's anger . *laughs* 

In the morning, My bestie has come to my house in the early morning, We were running here and there , trying to make a dress in the last seconds , But Suddenly we've heard a horn , so we ran outside and saw the bus waiting for us . We were absolutely confused, we started to pick up every single pin and the big boxes of  fabric , Also the Mannequins , And then we ran to the bus and got inside it , Trying hardly to make any dress fastly before the teacher comes over .

The bus drove to the teacher's house , Unfortunately it's nearby my house , And TaaDaaa !! ✨ my friend and I couldn't do a full dress , But we were certainly ready for our teacher to scold us , She came to the bus carrying stuffs , She asked about the dress I was supposed to make , But she saw nothing *Laughs* That was awkward but hilarious . The teacher was absolutely shocked for not seeing a full pretty dress , she became so angry , she started to shout on us , I thought it was funny at it's finest *laughs* but I felt bad for that and I tried to make anything , But it was bad , so bad. *laughs* 

It was a long trip for me , When we've reached the place of the meeting I couldn't wait to get out of the bus to breathe some fresh air !! And so I did , we got down of the bus and walked to the place , I think it was a university, I really don't know , We went inside And We've see our place which had a big board with my name on it ! How nice ! I ran with my friend to put our stuffs and get ready but we remembered something, we carried our Abayas with us !! We took them and ran to the nearest washing room , We wore our Abayas , we looked like college girls though we were not even in high school ! That was so funny for us *laughs* .

There was many people or should I call them "Artists" , creativity was in every border ! Old ones , young ones, It was great ! I loved seeing these people and getting to know them , How creative each one of them is ! One of them was a young girl in the eighth grade, She draws some characters and a fashionable way , I shouldn't deny but they were so beautiful , I got jealous to be honest , They were so pretty , And that was one of reason that pushed me to keep improving my fashion illustrations , My friend and I kept making some dresses on the Mannequins as fast as we can before the shickha comes .

Fastly we've made the dresses , I brought out my laptop and putted a slide show of the photos I've took of the dresses We've made before , My teacher wanted me to make an instagram account to show it to the Shickha , But I've had a problem in the previous day , The internet stopped by sudden and I didn't make it , My teacher thought That I've made it but I didn't tell her *Laughs*. Just another funny and silly thing 😂

And the meeting has started !! The shickha has come over , I felt nervous !! So nervous ! But I've hold my self and tried to be confident , she passed over all the participants , When she passed and came over to me , I smiled at her so she did , I talked to her and we laughed together!! All the shyness and anxiety has gone ! I love it !! I love talking to people just like if we know each other since a very long time ! 

My teacher was so proud of me ! And my friend as well , she said : "Your Laptop has saved us today ! That was great ! I'm happy so much ."  I finally felt comfortable! It's done and perfectly. 

While we were getting ready to go back home , My friend and I saw a guy called : Humaid , And a girl who was flying over him like a bee 😂 *laughs*. She was with him all the time ! Trying to talk to him and what's so on , my bestie and I felt really bad for her , we lughed so bad !! And whencwe were walking to the bus , we saw that guy having a pink flower in his pocket , certainly that girl gave it to him . That was even more funny !! I couldn't help laughing and my bestie was the same .*laughs* 

And we got into the bus , going back to the home , the teacher promised us to go to a mall , we reached the road nearby the mountains , so the teacher said that we'll go to any gaz station , we reached Kalba without anything of that . Which made us upset and sad and we'd never trust that teacher again 😂. *laughs* 

This was a tale of a hilarious memory I've had , How silly I was , Hope you enjoyed, Bye 💗
