2011 ... What a year!

2011-04-14T15:34:00.000+04:00

What a year!!!!

With all that is happening I don’t think that there is anything you cannot say or do… How worst can it get? I guess with our “limited” scope of thinking when it comes to protesting, it could get bigger and even worse that what someone would expect.

And so, I have decided to join in and raise a RED flag to those who “piss me off” by stealing my PENS!!!!!!!!!

Enough!!!!!!!

I can’t take it anymore!!!

I’m thinking of having one of those tracking chips which I can insert and somehow make it invisible … then I can identify the bad people who keep stealing my pens :(

Anyone out there facing the same thing?

My apologies to all of you my readers … for any language, or false signs you felt like at the beginning of this piece :)

Have a nice weekend!

My "Sex and the city 2"

2010-06-11T16:15:00.001+04:00

It's not just about sex!

That is my first respond to everyone who gives me "the look" when I talk about the movie lol

I bought the book and the soundtrack of the movie and I'm so excited, at least I can get busy with it till the movie is on DVD, so sad that we won't have it shown in our theaters, I wonder why though @@

Miranda, Samantha, Carrie, and Charlotte

Every woman will have a bit of each character :D

I'm Carrie :p

Which one is you?!

I also got the new book for Candace Bushnell, "the Carrie Diaries" … meet her before she became a writer!

Now enjoy the movie trailer :)

Cheers

If I were a man ... !

2010-04-29T13:57:00.001+04:00

i would ....

•stop for that old man standing on the street in the middle of the day asking for a ride when no one bothers to at least stop and ask him if he needs a ride ... he can be wandering around lost! we all know how old people sometimes have amnesia or probably Alzheimer's

•stand up for my opinions and rights no matter who disagrees with me or who it is I'm standing up against; because as a man i will have someone if not someones to support me, i would know that MY WOMAN would be there for me

•start a business immediately .. risk it .. because people will not criticize me to the bone and they would simply say "he can do it"

•go to work late and say "Hi" to my boss with no fear of being judged, we're just buddies! I'd still be "productive" just as being a MAN

•not worry about the extra pounds i have hanging anywhere in my body; few workouts and it's all gone! a woman would still find me attractive

It's not easy to fill the gaps with the right things!

I have always wondered "what do I want?" I got everything a girl would dream about, some of it was in the past –now it's gone and I'm not sorry, I'm glad i've had it. Right now I'm into this new hobby I've practiced for the last 2 years, but this time I'm doing it right :D

Photography!

Some say it's the spoiled ppl's new leisure activity!!

Well, it's an art…never thought it could be as complicated as it is, well, for now lol. First of all, you got to have the taste, also, the willingness to do it over and over again to get the best shot –that is a bit difficult for short-tempered ppl like me :p what is wrong?! Uhhhhh!!! OMG!! WTF!!! Loool all these idioms should not be used anymore … be patient (",) never give up!

Anyways, I guess there is not much to talk about … show some actions :)

My tools are ready … let's start shooting :D

Cheers,

Do you know what an FGNES is? ®

2009-09-28T13:20:00.001+04:00

You’ve been one at a point in time ... yes don't deny it ;) Are you still an FGNES? Or you are back to normal? Have you met so many FGNES? If so, how many have you met? Are you expecting to see more?!

Dear reader … I’m not blabling lol

Fresh Graduate Newly-Employed Syndrome (FGNES) … this is what it is … I guess we are on the same page now aren’t we ;)
How do you know that a person is an FGNES? Let’s list his/her characteristics:

Hyper and Enthusiastic about everything!! You can literally smell and feel the excitement and energy all around
On-time ... always … and I mean it when I say ALWAYS!
Work alcoholic!! Welling and ready BY ALL MEANS to do anything and everything … and the funny thing is that when there is nothing to do s/he feels sad … R U SERIOUS?!!!!! Lol

And the list can go on and on … u add in

I have been an FGNES, now I have developed to a “UVMEE” … I’ll explain it later

wanna make a guess? ;)

ok I’ll save you the trouble … it’s UnValued-Miserable-Experienced-Employee hehehe
I guess some of you will understand what I mean..

Back to the FGNES...

“Wardah” a newly employed sweet girl just joined us a couple of weeks ago, she reminded me of myself when I first got my job ^_^ so happy to finally got the change to join the workforce hoping that one day I will be pointed at with respect and admiration as being one of the best. Everybody dream of that but not everyone gets the chance to be one! I might not be a decision maker in my facility but I can for sure contribute in some of the decisions made … proud and thankful to Allah for his blessings :)

This new gal is so energetic that she makes me wonder … Am I missing so much! I miss fun but thank God I still have my smile … it’s just the fun part that is missing? I never tried to create fun in my work so that I enjoy it all the time! I guess they didn’t teach us that in school!! Is it so important that u have it? How helpful is it? Not that I’m criticizing her, I’m just wondering… if I had the fun part added to my work, would I’ve been what I am now? Again, not that I am the big boss around here, but things get serious when it comes to me! And in her opinion, it’s not fun!!!

I wanted to explain to her that fun isn’t everything but I’m afraid she’s gonna get it all wrong. I thought of telling her that soon you’ll lose your interest and get carried away with the dull routine which will make you wish you get home sooooooon and have the fun there! I came to know that when I had the disease (lol … I call it a disease : p) I wasn’t so resentful and I have accepted the facts … soon I became one of the old warriors in the ever lasting war against “blood sucking jobs” and officially became an UVMEE looool … Your energy gets sucked up and no re-charge is available … you’re gonna have to do it on your own! Can you believe that? Re-charge, get it “gone with the wind” and never expect to be rewarded or appreciated!

Honestly speaking, how many of you hate their jobs?
Sometimes I do actually …“Wardah” believes that is because it’s lacking fun … and speaking of my self, I came to hate my job because it could add absolutely nothing to me!!! I gained a lot there is no way that I’m gonna deny it, but in the last one year and a half I gained nothing! And I have two options, either to join school again and soon or to find a new job!

Don’t worry, I didn’t spell it out to “Wardah” … I don’t wanna destroy her vision and dreams, mmm no no … don’t wanna risk it :(

Cheers

Eidkum Mubarak – عيدكم مبارك

2009-09-15T22:18:00.000+04:00

Eid Al Fitr is like the New Year's Eve to me … it always feels new, fresh, and happy, that's the spirit lol. Even when I'm not fully prepared in terms of new outfits, I always feel HAPPY ^_^

Here are the most common items people make sure to prepare/have for Eid:

New outfits
Hair/Make-up style
Henna (women)
Sweets – فوالة العيد
Cash/coins – عيدية

I guess those are the main things, any additional things I forgot?!

Anyway, there are also other extra stuff that people usually do for Eid:

New furniture/decorations
Overseas/Local trips … which I don't agree on unless it's for family visits! I wonder why some families travel 1000 miles to celebrate Eid! As if they are running away from s'thing!

The main idea of Eid is to socialize, gather and catch up with your loved ones, and share with them happy moments; all friends and family gather in one house (usually it's their grandparents) … that's for the first day. The second and third day is for friends, usually the ones who are not too close and wouldn't expect to visit you, or you visit them, on the first day.

When Eid days are over we go back to normal, yet with a more civilized and developed personality … the holy days of Ramadan should be the period in which you try to have peace from within … free your soul from the darkness and become acquainted with your environment in a harmonious way … we all get negative feelings which s'times works as barriers and hinders ones interactions and our overall happy living!

Ramadan is a healing phase … Eid is the celebration "I am cured"

Let's not ruin it and start a new life with peace and love

Drop NEGATIVITY … Adopt POSITIVITY (",)

الكتاب المستعمل - أفيد و استفيد

2009-09-11T18:15:00.002+04:00

قرأت عن حملة "الكتاب المستعمل" والتي ستقام في الشارقة .. و هناك الكثير من المواقع التي تنشر بعض هذه الحملات في مختلف مدن العالم .. و أحببت أن ابدأ بحملتي الخاصه تحت شعار "أفيد و استفيد"

أهدي ولا أبيع

من يرغب في اقتناء أحد الكتب التالي ذكرها، عليه مراسلتي على عنوان بريدي الالكتروني و سأقوم بإرسالها بالبريد من غير أية رسوم .. هي عبارة عن مجموعة كتب -منها كتب دراسيه علميه- ولكن في الوقت الحالي سأبدأ بعدد بسيط جدا، تدخل ضمن التصنيف العام و هي كالآتي:

الواد و العم" - رواية رائعه للكاتب الرائع "مفيد النويصر" تحكي عن واقع نعيش أحداثه و لكن نتجاهله
"أسعد إمرأه في العالم" - حصلت عليها كهدية في عيد ميلادي الـ 24 من أحدى صديقاتي الأعزاء .. و حصلت على نسخة أخرى كهدية في عيد يلادي الـ 27 .. لذا أرغب في إهداء اخت لي احدى هذه النسخ
"كيف تحاور؟ دليل علمي للحوار" -كتاب مفيد جداً
"Law of Attraction" - شبيه بكتاب السر، و خلاصته قول رسولنا الكريم عليه أفضل الصلاة و التسليم "تفائلوا بالخير تجدوه"
"Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" - كتاب قيم جداً يساعد الجنسين على تفهم بعضهما البعض و يعرض طرق لتجنب الخلافات و تقبل طبيعة الطرف الاخر
@@@
إلى هنا تنتهي قائمة الكتب المعروضه
اتمنى ممن يود اقتناء احداها بأن يقوم بمراسلتي .. و فالكم طيب

سحر و سمر

2009-09-11T18:14:00.000+04:00

سحر و سمر
أصدقاء طفولة
السكن: بجوار بعضهما، فأهاليهما كانوا و مازالوا جيران متحابين و متصالحين. منذ عشر سنين انتقلوا للحي الجديد و الذي تم تغيير اسمه لدخول العمران إلى تلك المنطقه و لحسن حظهما منزلي العائلتين بجوار بعضهما
بما أن الصدفة تلعب دور كبير في حياتهما .. اكتشفت كل من سحر و سمر بأن غرفهما متشابه و مطله على نفس المنظر الخارجي!
منظر جميل و رائع .. اشجار و حدائق خضراء .. ساحات واسعه تتراقص فيها الطيور و العصافير بحرية على انغام الطبيعة ..
و منظر اخر .. اسوار سوداء عاليه و باحة واسعه من المجهول يملؤها أنين الصمت المرعب! " لا حياة في هذا المكان" هذا ما تردده سمر كل مساء عندما تستيقظ و تفتح الشباك في محاوله يائسه للحصول على جرعة نشاط بعد حالة الخمول الذي مرت به منذ 12 ساعة!!
المنظر الاول كان ما تراه سحر كل يوم .. "سبحان الخالق" كلمة ترددها كل ما تقع عيناها على الحديقة الغناء .. أما سمر فترى الحديقة ذاتها ولكن بعد غروب الشمس .. متأخره كعادتها .. ترضى بوصولها متأخره و حصولها على "لا شيء" مما يناله الكثيرين حولها .. و تردد دائما: "حظي مب حلو، نحاسه في نحاسه"!!
بالرغم من العلاقة الوثيقه بينهما و التربية في بيئة واحده إلا ان لكل منهم اتجاه مختلف و نظره تختلف تماما عن الاخرى
@@@
دائماُ ما نردد مثل هذه العبارات عندما لا نسعد بما نراه امامنا او نحصل عليه و عندما تفوتنا بعض الفرص .. فما هو السبب يا ترى؟
هل فكرت يوماً في الاسباب التي أدت لحدوث او عدم حدوث الامر الذي تريد؟
إن لم تكن انت السبب المباشر، فأنت بلا شك المسؤول الأول و الاخير عن النظرة السلبية التي ما أن تبدأ في الانطلاق لا يستوقفها إلا حدوث أمر معاكس او حدث جديد ينسيك ما مضى!
سمر على سبيل المثال لم تحاول يوما من الايام تغيير موعد نومها لتصحى مبكرا و ترى اشراقة الشمس الجميله و الغابه المرعبه ليلا التي تصبح جنه مع كل صباح .. فهي تبقى متمسكه بـ "البلوك آوت" الكاتم على أنفاس نافذتها لكي لا تزعجها شمس الصباح و لا النور الذي يكسر سكون الظلام في غرفة نومها .. فالظلام وحده هو الباعث الرئيسي لكل ما هو سلبي –في حياتها بالأخص.
كن سحر ولا تكن سمر .. و اسعد بيومك قبل فوات الاوان .. و "البلوك آوت" خله لتغض النظر عن ما يعكر صفو حياتك ولا تجعله يحجب عنك كل شي!

يوم في حياة موظفة - عزباء

2009-09-11T18:10:00.000+04:00

سُكّرَه

الملقبه بـ "ملكة جمال 79" وهي السنة التي تخرجت فيها من الثانوية العامة بتقدير "ممتاز" و بالتحديد نسبة 95% في القسم العلمي .. أحلى من السكر و أطيب من العسل

استيقظت فزعة خوفا من أن تصل متأخره لمقر عملها ... فبالرغم من عملها في نفس المؤسسة لأكثر من 11 سنة إلا إنها مازلت ملتزمه بالوصول قبل الوقت المحدد بـ 5 دقائق يعجبني انتظامها في العمل .. ولكن "مؤذي" المسؤول لا تعجبه هي و لا تنزل له من زور!

انتهى عملها في الساعة الثالثة و النصف مساءً

تناولت وجبة غداؤها على عجالة لكي تنال قسط من الراحه بعد يوم عمل شاق

استيقظت على صوت صراخ اخواتها .. يحليلهم يبون يسيرون يتشرون اغراض المدرسه .. وليس هنالك من يرغب في أخذهم في جولة تسوق و التي بالعادة تنتهي بفقدان الشخص المصاحب لهم أعصابه و وصوله لأعلى درجات الغضب!!

ابتسمت

توكلت على الله و ذهبت بهم إلى السوق

عادت بعد 3 ساعات و نصف

ابواها و اخوانها في الصالة يتابعون التلفاز

يلتفت الاخ الاكبر للأم و يقول: وصلوا اخيرا .. يالله نبي نتعشى

لم تتناول سُكّره العشاء .. فهي لا تشعر بالجوع!

صعدت لغرفتها و اغلقت على نفسها الباب لتستعد ليوم جديد و "غدٍ مشرق"

@@@@

كم يا ترى توجد "سُكّره" في هذه المدينه؟

تذبل كل يوم

و تتألم بصمت

و اذا "فضفضت" ردوا قائلين: "ما عندها سالفه، كل شي عندها متوفر ليش تشتكي؟"

الفضفضه تختلف تماما عن الشكوى، فمازال المجتمع ينظر للعزباء بأنها إنسان يجب ان يكون حاضر و متوفر لأي طلب 24\7 ولا يلزمه اي نوع من انواع الترفيه الا بحضور الاهل جميعاً وهي الشخص الوحيد الذي يجب عليه تلبية احتياجات سكان المنزل لأنها إنسانه ما عندها التزامات!!!

@@@@

مسكينة سُكّره

جمالها اتى عليه الدهر

مواهبها اختفت و نسى الجميع ذكائها و فظنتها

ها هي الان على ابواب الثلاثين من العمر

و بعد عدة سنين .. عندما تعزل نفسها رغما عنها سيحتج الجميع و سيقولون: "محد قال لها تنسى عمرها و تظيع حياتها على الفاضي"

فنقش ينفقش تفنقش

2009-05-11T09:58:00.000+04:00

Amoot wo a3arf men 6ala3 kelmat "فنقش"?

I was talking to afriend this morning … just hanged up @ 09:35 am; he wanted to go to Egypt to see the pyramids and something else lolz, but unfortunately because of the Swain flu epidemic he changed his mind!! مصائب قوم عند قوم فوائد at least his wife now will not suffer the pain of him leaving her for 4 weeks looooool

Anyway, back to the subject … when I asked him why he changed his mind and that there are no cases reported so far in Egypt, he said you never know I might go there and get infected wo ba3deen afangish looool … and I started thinking … who came up with this word فنقش !!!

I immediately googled for the meaning of that word … NOTHING!!!

So my friends … s/he who knows the truth … please … share it with us

LOLz

!! Wishing you all a wonderful morning !!

Cheers

Dear Lady ... Dos & Don'ts

2009-04-11T13:26:00.002+04:00

We usually see signs of dos & don'ts in different places and mainly in manual books of machines ... or in policies of public places ... i remember i read one in a shopping mall in Dubai!

Anyway, i'd like to share with you some of the dos and don'ts which i think each woman should consider!! and please DO share with me your comments and if possible send it to others, i want it to reach the maximum number of ppl, especially Arab women (NO OFFENCE)

I've gathered these points and finally decided to share it with you because i can't take it anymore.. i see women being ignorent, careless, and shamelessly act as "so what" .. "whatever"

let's cut to the chase ...

DO NOT wear your morning outfit for tonight's chill out with your friends

DO take a shower and wear a trendy and appropriate dress/top & skirt or pants

DO NOT wear full make-up in shopping malls and act like a spoiled princess

DO act and look natural, with simple make-up of course

DO NOT bring your children to women's day out

DO hire a part time baby sitter; it could be your husband, sister, eldest daughter, housemaid, a neighbor, etc ...

DO NOT bring your toddler with you to the beauty salon, shopping mall, hospitals, show rooms, etc .... unless there is a playground area for kids

DO keep them (ur kids) @ home

DO NOT disturb the gathering by calling/answering your cell phone every minute and talk loudly and expect everyone to know how worried you are about your sick kid/husband

DO stay @ home

DO NOT expect that everyone must/will tolerate your kid's mess

DO behave your kid and teach them manners especially for public places

Al Masjid is a spiritual place, so:

DO NOT bring your kids to the prayer room because they disturb al salah and they disturb anyone who is praying or reading Quran

DO NOT breast feed your kid while sitting in the first row

DO NOT eat or drink

DO NOT sleep

DO NOT drag your kid's trolley inside

and remember to APOLOGIZE to all women in there if you caused any trouble.

I hope i didn't sound harsh!!

This list might be updated regularly ... depending on the situations i face everyday lolz

Cheers

Delivery Services ... Express, exquisite, and excellent

2009-04-05T11:33:00.002+04:00

Delivery Services ... Express, exquisite, and excellent

Customer service is one of the most important elements in any business, a simple quality approach will exclusively study and analyze the type of services provided and how friendly and quick it is delivered, and most important, are the providers highly trained to satisfy their customers?!

With the increasing number of home-based businesses in the country we hear about different delivery service companies, other than the big brand names available world-wide, these companies are competing every now and then with being timely, safe and cheap ... and they all are, I've experience with some of them for local deliveries not sure about nation/international deliveries! However, there is one thing that bugs me the most, which is the reason I'm writing this post for … the delivery guy will give one call, usually missed call on purpose, and you will have to call him back!!!!!

WHY?!

He will use a cell phone with a sim card that belongs to the company, and they are supposed to provide him with enough credit to reach all customers … why do we have to pay for receiving the package when the sender has already paid all expenses related?! A recipient is expected to receive the package/delivery on time with no costs … didn't these companies check on their delivery staff and check if the have/don't have enough credit? Are the chips used were provided by the company?

I'd really be grateful if all companies who have delivery services check on this serious issue, especially that some ppl do not answer if they see a strange number, and by having a one single ring tone (a missed call on purpose) someone might not call back to check resulting in a late arrival of the package …

I'm sure one of you my dear readers will think of other irritating behavior(s) that some delivery guys would do … how about (no Arabic – مافي عربي شوي شوي انجليزي)

how the hell will you deal with him!!!! Sometimes we ask our housemaid to be our interpreter!

Believe me … a GPS will do it all and it's cheap lolz

The above complain is for all delivery companies as I've previously mentioned and for furniture shops

Cheers

Eid celebrations

2008-12-10T00:52:00.000+04:00

did ppl celebrate & enjoy Eid to the fullest?
I don't think so!
years back we've used to watch live talk shows in all Arab TV channels
and expect compititions with great prizes on radio channels... did we
have those activities this season? NO ... why? Im still looking for
answers.
shopping malls and some other public places seem to eagerly expect
Chrismas and they've all their decorations in place, which by the way
are beautiful!
I'm not against celebrating other religion's occasions especially that
we have many christian ppl living with us, but I, as a Muslim expect
to see our Eid festivals taken place as it should be.

iphone-Tips for new users

2008-12-01T02:29:00.000+04:00

• Do not update ur device with the new software/update, otherwise u
won't be able to read/ write in Arabic.

• If u r from the UAE don't bother by creating an account on iTunes
as online purchasing from that site is not supported in our country. u
can still use ur own pictures, videos and ringtones, iPod users
propably know how!

• Be careful when answering/talking to someone as the slightest touch
on the screen by ur finger or hand might result in hanging up or
turning on the speaker!!

• U don't have to worry about adding details to ur contacts; sony
ericsson users suffer the most lolz

• Get ready to manually add ur contacts, unless u have them all added
to ur outlook account before synchronizing ur device with ur laptop/PC

Drawbacks:

• Settings are not available for e-wab, mms, and gprs
• No front camera, i.e can't have video calls
• Touch screen works with fingers only
• Difficulty in moving the cursor; only by magnifying the text which
takes longer time in some cases
• Can't forward an SMS
• Can't copy, cut & paste

Those were the main points I have for now. Please let me know if any
of the points is wrong. If there is a way we can have all the can'ts
feature then the iPhone will definitely be the no. 1

Cheers
