Lost & Found Folder!

I was really just looking in the closet for a shirt! Really! And that’s when I accidentally saw something blue. So I thought to myself… “Could it be…?”
Then I shook my head and thought “naah, can’t be. I looked everywhere for a very long time. I can’t just simply find it in my closet lying just like that”. Again I thought “How do you know, you lazy person? Just check, what is it that you’d lose?”
So, I looked and checked… what do you know? YES IT WAS THE FOLDER I WAS LOOKING FOR!!
I so desperately looked for it because it carried very special things that I have cherished for years and years and thus are worth more than mines of gold!

There are different special things in this folder. Pics, notes we used to pass in class in high school…etc.
But here’s one of the things inside this folder. ;) My report card of when I was in 1st grade. I also have report cards of almost all stages of my school life but this one is just so special.

Here… check the picture and click on it for full view and see if you can read what the teachers wrote about me. I remember these teachers very well.







To suddenly, and out of no where, come face to face with such deep memory really makes it hard to hold back a never-fading smile. I smiled for a long time just staring at every word.

Memories… yes, memories are a cancerian’s weakness sometimes. I can hold on to memories and never let go. How could one live without their memories. To me, memories both good and bad are and will always be a vital element throughout my entire life. Why? Because it’s the memories that show me how well I did in life and how much achievements I have come across. True, sometimes they show me how I screwed up at some point. But should I mourn and drown in regret? Never! I shall smile knowing I came through it all as the wonderful person I am today. Yes, I am wonderful and I love me :P

Wow. You would hate me. I am more than happy to remember only the useful data, and forget the emotions and paraphernalia that comes with them.

I am so like you with memories, when they get into my head the day just goes sad.

Ammaro said...

Anonymous said...

OMG Cancerian.. HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME ABOUT THIS POST !! :@ .. Anyways.. Amazing post.. Your are so Right about the memories, you should always cling to them... I think i still have all my report cards mal every year.. yeah mama likes to save stuff.. I have a bag with all old stuff mal school days.. One day you have to come over and we have to open this BAG.. you never know we might have been in the same class at some point and had the same assignment.. ;p After all we only recently noticed we went to the same school when we were kids..

Reem B. said...

Palo: Emirati is harder than kuwaiti trust me :S We have words that don't make sense to people outside the UAE. For example, in Kuwait they say "At7acha" for "I talk" "7achy" comes from 7aky in classical arabic so there you go it makes sense. In the UAE we say "Armis" for "I talk". " Ramsatna '3air" <-- kalamna '3air.
LOL
What's cute is that all accents have something special about them.

Amu: Yup this sadness results from what we can call nostalgia. But always look at the brighter side ;)

Ammaro: Yup very true. There was never a time when I looked at my stuff from the early stages of my life and I didn't get this sense of wonder!

Sis 4 U: Isn't it lovely :D????

S.Mad: YESSSS we have to gather one day and look through that BAAAAAG. We were never in the same section. I was always in section A. But who knows we might have had a group activity together :P

Aisha said...

wow what a cool word
ramsatna

how do u say lets talk?
5al narmis? :P
haha that sounds cute :P

Reem B. said...

Yeahhh 5al nermis !! See?? you're good at it ;)

Mirror Polisher said...

So true about cancerians and clinging onto memories :D

My old report cards mostly say that if only i day dream less in the class i could live up to my full potential....Now that's another thing cancerians can't stop doing: Day dreaming ;p

Reem B. said...

Magical: yeahhh day dreaming is also another huge issue with cancerians!! LOL

Hi I am a typical cancerian and sometimes I just really can't stand the fact that I am so sensitive and that almost everything is good enough to make me start crying. I always think back to the past and what I have been through and it all brings tears to my eyes :-( Though I hardly ever keep things from my past, I just hold them close to my heart. Anyways, glad to have read your blog, it really helps a lot emotionally to know that there are other people very much like myself. You take care, mwah!
