Back ... ^_^

if you are a regular reader of my blog then I apologize for the time-off i took ... it's been a long time!

if it's your first time to read my blog then I should say ... WELCOME .. and I wish you a pleasant time reading through it ☺

ppl think if they are active during the day and their schedule is full until they go to bed then they are energetic and successful ... in my opinion that could be wrong!!

I was active almost for more than 70% of the total hours i have all day ... usually I sleep @ 00:00 until 07:00am when i wake up and prepare to go to work (i wake up @ 05:00am for alfajer prayer & go back to sleep), i stay active until 07:00pm; finish work @ 04:00pm after that i head to the city to either go to the gym or do some shopping. when i reach home @ 07:30pm i have other things to do ... i either go on the Internet, read, or watch TV until 11:30pm which gives me only 30 minutes to prepare to go to bed ...

some of my friends envy me for the free time i have, and guess what?! i don't have free time ... in fact i'm ready to pay all my savings to have extra hours!!! (how would it be if we have 30 hours a day?!!!!)

you'd probably ask, why am I not satisfied? is it because i work for too long? No!

is it because i do the shopping and exercise everyday? No!

then WHAT IS IT?

i don't have time to sit and chat with mom & dad :(

the older i get the more i think of them

so, i have decided to quite the gym and start working out @ home (sometimes dad joins me lolz) and postpone all the daily shopping till the weekend ... and most important is to have the wireless connection available in all areas @ home so that i can work while sitting next to mom in the living room (i'm still looking for the best router)

i remember one day mom said to me: I don't want you to stop your routine and cancel your appointments, all i want is to see you everyday in the morning and sit & talk to you before sun falls and kiss you before you go to bed ... that made me burst in tears feeling so bad that i made my mom suffer this much ... she misses me ... fdeetha ummi 7abibti

so for all of you ... busy dudes .. plz plz plz

RE-DEFINE YOUR PRIORITIES

with the changes i made to my schedule, not only that i've enjoyed the time with my parents, i have learned the more important skill someone could learn ... LISTENING

it takes time to change .. i know .. but it's worth it .. you will win at all costs

CHEERS

I wanna buy, but s/he is not helping!!

Frowning
Edgy
Silent
Laughing out loud (LOL)
Total ignorance
Acting like "hey, can't you see i'm busy" kind of thing

and the worst

Shouting @ customers!!!!!!

Those are the big Don'ts to me for all shop/store keepers ... Please please please avoid them; you are actually pushing your customers away!
I went to a store this weekend and the storekeeper was like, "i'm not in the mood"!!! i wanted to get that piece so bad that i would pay any price it takes, but when I saw that attitude i changed my mind. I knew i couldn't find it anywhere else, though i couldn't buy it ... i was pissed off.

for my future shop, God's Willing, I would assign all my staff in classes that teaches them how to deal with customers and would evaluate them based on that, i won't care if s/he is illiterate, as long as s/he treats my customers like VIPs, s/he is the best to me

When you go shopping or getting one thing, you are actually in need for help, even for the simplest thing, or with prior knowledge about that thing -you should know if there is a better one, or @ least what's new out there. For food, you might want to know if there is a new recipe, or a better origin country for a vegetable or a fruit. For cloths you might wonder if a certain material is better than the other one, or if it's possible to have the same design made for you by another material which you are not allergic to ... etc.

Lacking such communication with the shop/store keeper would most of the time makes me hate to come back unless I see someone different is inside with a big smile waiting for ppl to pay him/her a visit and see what's offered, even if they won't buy, at least they get to see the items and would probably come back some other time ^_^ I usually do that ... i've became different, i used to buy things right away, now i've slowed down, i need to take my time *_^ probably testing the staff in that store :P - no i wouldn't

Cheers

Friday's ... Happy Weekends

What a lovely Friday …

I love Fridays … it's the only day when I can sit with the family and have all 3 meals together; usually on Friday whoever is dieting would think less of eating that crap which we call "healthy meal". Me, as a professional in regimes and dieting could care less when it comes to my mom's lovely cooking on Fridays LOLz


Breakfast:
Fresh Tea & Milk (Karak*)
Balalee6*
5abee9*


Lunch:
Makboos*
Salad
Home-made hot sauce




Dinner:
It depends on my dad's mood lolz, sometimes he prefers Shamee's* light dinner which consists of (boiled eggs, olives, labnah, cheese, honey, fresh salad)… some other nights he prefers to have whatever is left from lunch, OR Indian dinner –you can imagine what sort of food we'd be eating at that night ^_^


The most wonderful moment in this day is when dad sits in the living room or sometimes in the TV room and chat with us, we can talk about ANYTHING & EVERYTHING, but not sex :P and it's all girls, me and my sisters with mom, and at the end of the evening we get to have all we want from him *_* it could be a promise to take us on a trip to Alain, or Dubai... OR money in case someone is in need for :P

●•۰•۰•●

*Karak: is everyone's favorite morning drink, besides Arabic coffee, it consists of fresh milk, tea, sugar, and some herbs to make it tastes fabulous.

When I googled "Karak", to add it's picture for those who don't know it, I got to know that there is a city in Jordan called "Karak"!!!! it's a new pice of information to me ... I got to work on my Geography information :P , I know someone would say :How the hell you've never heard of it before?! and my father would be the first one to say that to me!! anyway, besides that piece of information for you guys, here it is the picture of my favorite drink:

~~~~~~~

*Balalee6: is some sort of small fine thin noodles boiled in sugared water, with some vegetable oil, and served with fried eggs on top ... WooooW, we love it and here it is :D

~~~~~~~

*5abee9: is the second most favorable dish in the Gulf ... it's a dessert dish made of brown flour fried with vegetable oil and sugar with water ... yammeeeee you can add some herbs as well

~~~~~~~

*Makboos: a traditional dish that each and every house in the middle east have it at least twice a week, it consists of rice cooked in meat's soup which is cooked in a special way, with fried onions and tomatos (optional) of course ... and here it is ... my favorite dish :D

~~~~~~~

*Shamee: to us ppl in the gulf a shamee person is someone who is from any of these countries (Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, or Syria) to them s/he is someone from Syria only!

Wishing you a pleasent Friday

Cheers
