(for a moment I thought that you read my Hebrew, as most of your Arabic rendition is very similar to the Hebrew ^^).

Seriously, I believe it's an accurate translation. I'll try to think about another rendition.

instead of اليوم, I would add at the end of the sentence الآن.

haha, thanks for the boost of confidence^^, but I thought I'd better leave a warning...

(الآن still sounds awkward since it's implied) I think it's best if I keep it as it is, but thanks for the suggestion :)

I added another variant.
