Only 7 and a half hours left before 2010 arrives in the country where I live so happy new year everyone! I hope it's a wonderful year for each one of you, it's been a wonderful journey of art with you guys, and you guys have helped me in ways you may never know. Thank you for that!

Oh, and it's also 7 and a half hours until I turn 20! And I am shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.

Happy new year, again, everyone!

An enormous x-mas hug from me to all of you. I hope you guys have a wonderful day+night! And I am aware that I am slightly late with the wish, do forgive me for that.

May all wishes and dreams come true, for now and forever.

And yes, I know I have been absent lately, sorry about that. I am just simply not as active as I once used to be, and there are many reasons behind that, some that I don't understand myself but yes. Hopefully, by the end of January things will change. Speaking of January, happy new year in advance everyone, I hope it is a year full of joy for each one of you. Or at least, more full of joy than sorrow. But thinking of 1st January absolutely makes me dreadful not because it's new year but but because that is the day when I will be finally out of my teenage. I will be 20, and I am far from excited about it. ^_^ It's so hard to believe that I won't be a teenager anymore, and I know that some of my childish habits will always stay with me, whether I am turning 20 or 30 .

Whoops. Sorry for getting carried away like that. Getting back to the topic, how are you all? And what are your plans for Christmas and New year's eve?

Oh, and check this out:


It is a poem that =nycterent and I wrote together, and more than half of the credit goes to her for making it as lovely as it is! But she seems too modest to take the amount of credit she rightfully deserves. In any case, give her all your love, and give the poem all your love as well. We spent months writing it and I really hope you guys will like it! =]

All my love,
Farah

...and in so doing, she is able to create such great art. Her photography is remarkable, and even if she had not taken any of those photographs she would have still been just as remarkable as she is now because her personality is absolutely stunning. Her name 'Hanan' perfectly reflects the person she is because the meaning of her name is 'warm', and she does indeed have a warmth and beauty that comes out in her aura. So, here is to you Hanan! May you keep smiling for eternity and beyond.

And, of course, take a look at some of my personal favourites from her gallery:



Oh, and, she paints as well.



And these are just a few personal favourites, really. Now hurry and take a look at the rest of her gallery---> . Be awed.
