Dz-chick....four years on!

On the 12th November 2007, I started writing “Dilemmas of a single Algerian girl in London” and four years later I find myself still writing it, same title, same place, same dilemmas, getting actually tired of it and I am sure a few people out there too, thought unlike me, you are not obligated to visit my page, may I suggest cannotstayaway.com – it doesn’t exists? Sure it does, it brings you straight back to dz-chick.com!

Seriously! 4 years! What gives!!! And 3 exclamation points! Wow
I guess a holiday is in order, immediately if not sooner, but you know how it is, coming up to the end of year 2011, so many hard questions

What have I achieved this year?

Did I manage my anger, stress?

Did I do enough to be happy to turn 35? This one is out of line, nobody should be happy to turn 35 and to those who claim they are I say: MYTHO

Did I loose enough weight to fit into that dress I couldn’t afford? the one hanging in the “one day” side of the wardrobe?

Did I come close to meeting someone special? Answer is nope, unless you mean special as in crazy!

Will I make a “new year resolutions” list for 2012? NEVER

Will I look 35? Ask my surgeon in Harley street!

Will I ever meet someone lovely and kind and not totally crazy? I have more chances to meet Budha!

The point is, four years of writing has brought me so much criticism, many fans, many compliments, so many insults and a few admirers, some jealousy with a pinch of nastiness, the marks of a healthy blog I guess. I don’t know how long I am going to continue writing this blog, but if I do branch out, I will make sure to keep you updated.

Happy Birthday “Dilemmas of a single Algerian girl in London”, four already but you don’t look a day over 2.

Dz-Chick ….just like her blog, doesn’t look a day over 25!

Ps: haters: I know it’s hard but please try to contain yourselves! It’s a four year olds' birthday for Gods sake!

  12. It would have been even better, I would have drawn an actual tear maybe, if I'd managed not to mangle my grammar. ('You blog' ??). I'll get it right next year.

  16. Belated happy birthday DZC

    I cannot believe it has been four years already! I hope you find someone suitable soon.
    Speaking of the handbag, thanks for the idea, sounds like a good birthday present for my own chick even though I have already done it before, well I can just buy her a more expensive one, plus girls never complain about having too many handbags I guess.
    Take care

  17. Heyyyy ATO - you were with me from the first year :) glad you popped in for a quick hello.

    And thanks for the birthday wishes, also you're welcome re; gift idea, women love to receive handbags, feel free to consider the Mulberry picadilly or the Bayswater they're always a hit.

    Hope you're good and happy, take care x
    ps: nope - still single :)

  18. Your 5th anniversary is coming up DZ-Chick and if that was a wedding anniversary, you would be celebrating the year of wood and how appropriate as women tend to love wood ;-) and the flower will be the daisy, again relevant for DZ. I shouldn't comment that lagte really, my reasoning is questionable!

    Glad you are still writing as I might have never discovered this blog which has been one of my highlights this year.

    LOL at the use of MYTHO....long time no hear!
