Flashback-ing

2007-12-28T16:03:00.000+04:00

We're nearly at the end of the semester, can't believe I've reached this far. I mean, not that I had doubts about doing it, but not at this pace! Amsat kna fl school! And now in a blink I'll see myself graduating from university and finding myself in a workplace. Though didn't start the exams yet, I already let myself enter the holiday mood. Although I'm not looking forward for something specific in this holiday, but I feel I need it somehow. One thing I want to mention is, last year before I registered for classes for this semester, there was this teacher that "e v e r y o n e" critized, i mean, EVERYONE! God I bet they didn't even know who the hell they were talking about before talking about him in such a way. They just hear it from one mouth and start 'spicing' the word and telling it over. There's nothing bad you imagine hearing about a teacher that they didn't mention. A group of girls had even chosen to take this course over that summer in another university to avoid him! Do people actually enjoy going around telling things they don't even know about others? enzain WHY!! Anyways, thanks god I never ever listened to what they said about some teacher or course, because for some reason, they are almost 99.99% wrong at all times. I took the course with that teacher, and when some girls heard that I actually 'chose' his course, they were like "You kidding right?" Summer passed and the year started, the course is nearly coming to an end, and I shall admit that his course and teaching where one of the best I have ever attended at university.

Something I really don't get in some people, if they had gone through some difficulties with someone, or they didn''t get along with each other, they think that no one else can. I mean, come to think about it, people have different criteria for judging each other. They should not try to enforce their own opinions to other people and make they believe them. Problem is, I see many people following their friends in whatever they think and do, without judging the situation for themselves.

Savi and Karamilah, i miss you and the others so very wayed much ! I finally did it.. hehe! More is coming soon inshallah, as i promised.. Stay Tuuuuuuuuuned ;)

I'm glad I had reached this far. I'm glad to have known the people around me. I'm glad to be me. God this update is beginning to feel like an annual thing lol. I'm sorry for taking this long to finally update. I have to say that two of my friends have really inspired me with their frequent updates, their beautiful writings, Karamilah and Saviola. It just feels like yesterday when it was my last Birthday, but when I come to think about it, I realize that much has been going on. I nearly done with university, 1 more year to go. I have made my final choice of a major. I have known many great people with I owe them so much. I've come to see that each and every person in my life has affected me, every person has made a difference.. I would want to write and ahthreb more.. I will soon inshallah.. I promise..

With the Flow..

A sketch I drew two days ago. Hisoka, from the last anime I watched "Hunter x Hunter" Recommended ! Man he's one heck of a character *heart*! 1 year ago, i have never imagined the anime world to be this broad! It's so full of creative ideas, and everytime you watch a series you get tempted to watch more n more. Ok anyways, enough convincing. If you watch it you'll know what i mean =P

I've started my 3rd year at uni, and at last, made my final choice on my major.. I guess. Up until now, things are running smoothly and as expected. Unless unpredicted issues start rising up, i'm going to stick with my plans. Inshallah.

I guess that's it for today. I promise to update more often.

Meemz: That "Law of Attraction" works like MAGIC!
FeFe, R, Baskoot (nesmat blady =P), ..Cutie.., S, K, Shemalic, Ms. Mshairef, Wutever, secretgirl & simple girl, and all gang: Happy to see you guys once again.. you people make my uni life such a wonderful place to be.. =)
LooyZa: Wallah i'll miss you roaming around uni.. luv u
Shemalic: A7la Gold Coast days spent with you ;) I'll Never forget our adventures there ! lol

Last but not least.. "You Never Know What You Know.." ;)

Moroccan Vision

2007-05-11T19:23:00.000+04:00

"A visitor arrives from Morocco and tells me a curious story about how certain desert tribes percieve original sin.
Eve was walking in the Garden of Eden when the serpent slithered over to her.
'Eat this apple,' said the serpent.
Eve, who had been properly instructed by God, refused.
'Eat this apple,' insisted the serpent. 'You need to look more beautiful for your man.'
No, I don't,' repliad Eve. "he has no other woman but me,'
The serpent laughed.
'Of course he has,'
And when Eve did not believe him, he led her up to a well on top of a hill.
'She's in that cave. Adam hid her in there.'
Eve leaned over and, reflected in the water of the well, she saw a lovely woman. She immediately ate the apple the serpent was holding out to her.
According to this same Moroccan tribe, a return to paradise is guaranteed to anyone who recognizes his or her reflection in the water and feels no fear. "

- Paulo Coelo "Like the Flowing River"

How many people we see are only full of fear and unsecurity because of their on way of interpreting things, the way they percieve matters. It is up to us whether to think of a pool as a place where many people drown and die, or a warm place to let go of your worries..swim, relax and escape from the disturbances of the real world. It is up to us to judge a cheeta as one of the most fierce animals in the wild, or as a creature that god has blessed us with to enjoy the beauty of its movements as it races the wind, leaps and lands as smooth as one could imagine, adds an artistic touch in the most beautiful painting of the world.. nature, with that wonderful pattern of it. It is up to us to weep over a loss of a dear person, or realize that he was gone to make place for a newborn, for a new light that will brighten up our world, for a new sound of laughter.

We never tend to look at the sun directly, because that might hurt our eyes. We would rather look at the beautiful things that reflect the bright sunshine. The way we choose to look at things, the side of the box we choose to face up, either the white or black, when both colors are really on the same box, that will determine how optimistic towards life we are. It is better to die while still alive, than to live dead. Although many people go to work, study, eat and breath.. they have no soul in them.. because they have already killed it. They do everything like a sequenced machine, not stopping by the side of the road to look at the beauty of the path, that miracles of life that surrounds them..

"Live not only the length of your life.. but the width of it as well.."

A trailway to a vague destiny...

Last time I updated 2 days before my actual birthday, this time it’s 2 days after, next year hopefully I’ll update the same day nshallah. I am glad god had blessed me with another year to spend with those who are brightening my life day by day (el7emdellah).

Many were asking me yesterday “What does your new age feel like?”. I guess its really not clear to me yet, but what I’m determined about is that I feel I have a long path ahead of me, a path of awaiting dreams and ambitions longing to be achieved “واذا الله عطانا العمر ان شاءالله” I plan to accomplish some things in my life. Its always good to plan ahead of your time, and once you have an idea, you will unconsciously start working on building it up until this idea turns into reality, and you find yourself living in what used to be a dream. “مشوار الألف ميل يبدأ بخطوه”. Anyways one of my dreams is saving a person’s life.I dont mind sacrificing my own life for this purpose. I guess the self-satisfaction I’ll earn after I do this is beyond what I can explain…

Cheerful Dr. Kent =D
(Sorry Dr. Kent for keeping you waiting for this ..)

I was watching Oprah that day, it was about heroes who saved peoples lives, and people who endured a lot of pain and became survivors (each in a different way). I was astonished by the hidden power a human is blessed with سبحان الله. A power that is not exerted except at emergencies and while you’re under tension or stress. It takes less than a second to realize that someone is in danger when you look at them, while the adrenaline rushes into your blood stream making you jump out of your feet, run up to the scene of the emergency and do whatever it takes to save another person’s life, all in a matter of seconds. While it takes hours and hours to understand a concept at an Economics class =P. Amazing how the human brain is made to function. You might not believe how much power and abilities you have within yourself until you come to a situation were you feel you are obliged to use them. I am curious about this 75% of our brain that we never use. What miracles could possibly be hidden there? Human nature…

Thanks millions my friends for the wonderful surprise.. I really don't know what to say .. you made my day :$ Allah y7af'6km nshallah..

and once again you are the reason i wrote this update.. Thanks i owe you =)

Once again, I disappear "3n el sa7a elfanyah" wihtout any notice. Though I have been checking this place regularly. While I was going through the previous posts yesterday, I was stunned by the number of memories, incidents, and all the photos that reminded me of them, that I have pushed aside, amazed by how much small things could eventually turn into valuable memories in the future. Things we never expect that were once just a casual moment on the usual routine of out lives, are perhaps the most precious gifts a past could offer. Starting with the first block of your happy moments and memories, you would gradually find yourself in a shelter built with what memories you have collected in your journey..
Anyways, I guess this will be a memo someday, I would recall the day I recalled... =P

I was looking through my old stuff that day, and guess what i found! Four pages of left-hand written pages (im right handed btw) plus a drawing.. that I find quite amazing for my left hand to sketch. I remember i had been curious about the hidden abilities of my left hand =P lol.. I started training it by writing and drawing everyday.. and now yes I am very proud of how far it had reached since "ayam el jahlyh maltah" lol I think this is a part of my personality, always looking for the awkwardest of things to do. Things you wouldn't think of .. *bwahahaaa* =P

Elmohm, I feel so sorry for those who are spending their precious time in rm'6an by sitting in front of those junk "msalsalat"..nonsense. I can't really bare wasting one single minute of my time in front of such crap! I`d rather sit in an empty room all by myself doing nothing instead of humiliating my mentality by this junk.. Yes it IS this bad to me! :/ I can't deny that there are actually a few tv series that had proven to have some value, though a very few.

I'll post more in my next update nshallah (which i promise is going to be soon).. So until then, Take care and sorry for taking such a while to update. Big Thanks to who encouraged me to write more..

Elsalam 3lekom. How have you all been? So summer-ing huh? =) Hope everyone is enjoying their time. Mine has been quite neutral, nothing so exciting happened since I started, plus i am staying fel blad, so i have to make my own time exciting =D. Anyways I have been trying some new things around here. Check this flimstip out =D Isn't it cool lol.

Just in case you were thinking about that Burger King picture up there, it was taken after the electricity suddenly closed while we were eating there :S I really dont know what happened but it was kinda funny lol.

I have recently discovered a new passion. Technology. I really enjoy knowing about all sorts of new advancements in the technological field. It makes you feel how fast has the world leaped towords development. I can't think of anyone who isn't using even a small machine in his/her life. I mean look around you, your computer, mobile, ipod, tv, cameras.. etc, everything manual is gradually turning into an new techno-device. So just in case you were wondering what to get me as a gift, I think i have made it much easier for you to choose :P

12-06-06 Am soo waiting for this date! 10 days left and Nagmat Uae is already starting the count down :P Seriously I worked hard this year lol. What a year damn it! Many things have changed around me, thus making me change in a way. I have moved, gone to university, lived in a totally new atmosphere, new friends, new adventures.. etc etc, its like a totally new me born again. I am grateful for what I have, unregretful for what I don't, value what I learned, and cherish what has passed.

By the way, big thanks to Lo0oyz for introducing me to the world of "EBay" :P

Done by me ^_^

Finger print machine.. Yes i am Wanted! *bwahahaaa* :P

2006-05-12T17:19:00.000+04:00

Nothing can ever last forever.. It is either we accept that fact and cherish what we own by getting the best out of it for what time is left, or simply deny that reality and ignore how much it was important to us until it is gone.. and start weeping over its' loss. It is said that the majority of the people have a negative view over things. They tend to look at its dark side before even giving themselves a chance to see the bright side of it. Why dont we try altering our perspectives into ones which aim at the brightest of all lights?

Anyways, had a blast this weekend party-ing :D Can't wait till the summer holiday, not as if i have anything planned yet :P but hey am sure anything would give me a good break from eldwaam lol :P Is it me only when i realize that i have something to do for university.. things just start popping into my mind like:

1- Remembering a friend i didn't speak to since god knows.. so i decide to call her.

2- Suddenly i'm feeling hungry.

3- "Hmmm how long have i been sitting here.. god i need to move around shway"

4- Opps nsait achoof Oprah!

5- elsa3a *:** I'm sure i had something to do now.. ok let me go n check.

6- (Looks outside the window) "What a weather huh?! how about sitting out for a while.." ..... btw darajat el 7arara over 40 degrees :P

7- A 30 min phone chat which eventually turns out to be a 1+ hour phone call :P

8- Asoolef with my sis shway

9- Suddenly I decide that my room needs argent arranging.

10- First go and check what is missing from me.. then realise that I really really need this thing.. so there it goes, a free tour around the house seariching for it.. and the longer it takes to find it, the more i realize i need it o asawe 7ashra 3aleh lol

11- A paper or note is missing.. ok call a friend :P

12- etc etc... the never ending list lool

get Well So0on ma friend :)

2006-04-28T17:24:00.000+04:00

Missed blogging in this place lol :P hmm should do it more often.. Nothing much to say in this update, except for those pics I'm going to post. The next update will include more of the talking part :P So Staaaaaay tooooooooned!

My argument today has been the study of many, for years and centuries. People have even argued to whether this thing actually exists or not. It has been characterized as a major issue in philosophy, and have been defined by hundreds, if not thousands of people, each assuming a different perspective to define it. Nothing.

Greater than God

More evil than the Devil,

The poor have it,

The rich need it,

Dead people eat it,

If you eat it, you'll die...

Yes, it's nothing that have been my subject of interest for the past few days. The concept of nothing may have many interpretations. And as I said earlier, some people believe that it does not exist. No one has ever touched, smelled, or even felt nothing. The thought of 'nothing' alone makes you think of something, which excludes it from being nothing.

Nothing can be considered as the absence, vacuum or lack of something. Looking to the argument mathematical wise, I think there is a strong link between nothing and the number zero. It symbolizes a value which has no value. Zero is nothing? If zero is nothing, and since no one pays any attention to nothing, why was there a zero invented then? Why has someone invented something which resembles nothing? Zero was searched by many genius mathematicians for centuries, and even after zero was discovered, the clear concept and significance was quite not clear yet. And for years people tried to decipher (Btw, zero derives from the arabic word "Sefer" which also leads us to the english word cipher) the actual role of this "nothing" value. This was one thing that nothing was used practically in. Though still being a mysterical thing, nothing along with its mate Zero, has proved its role realistically.
While writing this update, someone asked me what was I doing. I didn't realize how much I was so into Nothing that nothing made me write about Nothing in this update :) Yes very wise i know :P I am truly sorry if I underestimated the value of nothing here, or even humiliated it by making it a something to talk about, or an issue to argue with. Is Nothing no longer the vague, anonymous, mysterical figure? Has it proven its existence through it's mysterious world of unanswerable riddles?

"If nothing exists, there is empty space. If there is empty space there is something. Since this is a contradiction of the first statement neither statement exists. Therefore something must always exist. Therefore nothing is the only thing that does not exist."

P.s: If nothing made sense to you, I reached what I was looking for :P

40 days since my last update. Not that I didn't have the time to update, i admit that there was much free time, but I just didn't feel like it. Anyways, 2nd semester has started and my count down to it's finish started with it too. I'm so looking forward to this summer.
I wanted to talk about something in this update, I prefer talking about it in arabic because reading through the many UAEian blogs out there, I rarely come through one which is written in arabic.

الإعلام هالأيام يمثل السلاح اللي من خلاله يتم اختراق الحاجز العقلي والتحكم به، خصوصاً إذا كان المشاهد أو المستمع من فئة الشباب. وأنا بخص بالذكر الدعايات الإعلامية اللي تظهر من قبل مؤسسات وشركات الإنتاج في مختلف أنحاء الوطن العربي، واللي تبث في الإذاعات والتلفزيونات المحلية على الصعيد المحلي، والقنوات العربية الأخرى
المشكلة ليست في الدعايات نفسها، بل في محتوى الدعايات والأهداف التي تحاول من خلالها التخلل في القيم المغروسة فينا، لتغيرها وتدخل عليها عادات وقيم من بقاع أخرى في العالم ليس لها أي صلة بآدابنا وقيمنا التي نشأنا عليها
إذا كان الهدف الرئيسي لداعية ما، سواء كانت مرئية أو مسموعة، الترويج لسلعة أو خدمة..فلماذا إذا ترويجها بطريقة تهزأ عاداتنا وعقليتنا اللي بدأت غير قادرة على التمييز بين القيم الأصيلة ..وتلك التي أوردها هؤلاء من مكان مجهول؟ قبل أيام معدودة سمعت في إذاعة محلية دعاية لسلعة ما، وكانت الدعاية كالتالي: ..مع احترامي لكل القراء
Hiiiii Saraa كييفك؟
دخلك شو شفت اليوم.. بانتلو جيزنز كووول كتييير
وتستمر هذه المحادثة بين مجموعة من البنات والأولاد، كل منهم يخبر الآخرعن محل ما، مستخدما هذه الطريقة أو اللهجة الشبابية..لا أنكر أن هذه اللغة هي فعلاً مانسمعه الآن من الشباب، ولكن هل على المجتمع تشجيع مثل هذه اللغة ال"كول" واستخدامها للوصول إلى أكبر عدد من الزبائن من فئة الشباب؟

مثال آخر: يتكلم المتحدث بصوت ممل وبنبرة واحدة عن شاب طموح تخرج من المدرسة بنسبة عالية وسيكمل تعليمه في الخارج للحصول على شهادات أخرى... وفجأة تبدأ الخلفية الموسيقية وتتحول نبرة المتحدث نفسه إلى نبرة فرح وحماس، ويتحدث عن شاب آخر قرر أن يذهب إلى محل (موسيقي مشهور) لشراء أحدث أشرطة الطرب.. وكأن الشاب الثاني مثال أعلى..فطموح الشاب الأول ليست بالموستوى المطلوب. شخصياً لم أفهم المغزى من هذه الدعاية.. هل الجزء المختص بالدراسة في حياتنا هو الجزء الممل والتافه، بينما الذهاب إلى هذه الأماكن هي الحياة بنفسها؟ هل هي محاولة لتوضيح مفهوم الدراسة لدى الشباب، وتعريفها بأنها لا تقل أهمية عن الغناء والموسيقى وكل مايتعلق بهذا المحل؟
أما الدعايات المرئية.. فحدث ولا حرج.. كم من دعاية تبث على قنواتنا العربية تعاكس مبادئنا وقيمنا؟ إلى جانب هدفها الأساسي في محاولة ترويج السلعة، فهي تسعى بطريقة غير مباشرة بتهديم ماترسخ في عقليتنا من تفكير واعي
هناك العديد من تلك الدعايات.. والله كريم على كل حال
الله يقدرنا على صد هذا الهجوم الإعلامي واتمنى ان وجهة نظري اتكون وصلتكم..

عيــدكم مبارك وعساكم من العايدين والسالمين ان شاءالله =)
لا أعرف ماذا دهاني في هذا "الأبديت" كي أكتب باللغة العربية. إنه لشيء جميل أن نتمسك بلغتنا الجميلة، اللتي بدأت تتلاشى في وسط معمعة اللغة الانترنتية ولغة ال 7 ,وال 5 وغيرها.

انزييين.. نرجع شوي حق العاميه مافينا عالقنابل هههه.. ان شاءالله استانستوا في العيد..؟ عني انا، الحمدلله كان حلو وسلمنا على الأهل والأصدقاء. بس في شي احس انه اتغير عن الأعياد اللي طافت، وخاصه يوم كنا صغار. العيد هالأيام يطوف مثله مثل أي يوم ثاني. واذا قارناه بالعيد يوم كنا يهال، بتلقون فرق كبير. العيد قبل كان له جو غير وفرحه. وليلة العيد كل شي تمام وجاهز، وحتى مرات ماكان ايينا رقاد من الوناسه هههه. بس احين، حتى الثياب على آخر لحظه ومال بسرعه بسرعه قبل العيد بيوم شلينا أي شي وطلعنا. صح أن انسير ونسلم على الأهل ونيلس ونسولف، بس في شي اختلف.

كل هذا في صوب، واحتفالات كرسمس وهولووين وغيره في صوب. خلينا تسترجع شوي ذكرياتنا إلي قبل 10 سنين. في يوم العيد الوطني او عيد الفطر او الأضحى، كنا نحس أن فيه عيد مب بس داخل البيت حتى برع، وكانت الفرق الحربيه والعياله والنعاشات على الكاسر في بوظبي، وكل حد فرحان ومستانس واللي يرزف واللي واقف ويطالع واللي يصور. والمكان كان حي ومرتبش. الفرحه كانت في الجو. بس للأسف، كل اللي انشوفه هالأيام احتفالات كرسمس وهولويين وترتيبات المراكز بهاي المناسبات. وحتى في المدارس، كان يوم العيد الوطني من أحلى أيام السنة.

في مركز في دبي فاجأنا بعدم اتحفاله بكرسمس، ولا تزيينه للمكان بهذه المناسبه. شعور جميل أنك تدخل للمكان وتحس انه متمسك بعادات البلاد وتقاليده، وماتحتفل بأعياد الغرب. جزاهم الله خير على هاي الوقفه.

لو استمرينا على هالحال، وبدت أعيادنا تتلاشى مع الأيام، ومجتمعنا يتمسك أكثر بأعياد الغرب والعادات الدخيله على عاداتنا وتقاليدنا وتراث اجدادنا، شو بيصير بمجتمعنا وديننا ؟ اخاف اينا يوم وننسى أن عندنا شي اسمى عيد الفطر أو عيد الأضحى.. الله يستر بس

واسمحولي ماكتبت بالعربي الفسحة.. ان شاءالله في المرة القادمة سوف أفعل ذلك =P

Farwell 2005, and welcome 2006. Much has been done, much has been accomplished, and yet so much is to be done. Tasks and challenges are awaiting ahead of each one us, a mysterious cloud is blocking our view of the rest of the road. For that, we should guide ourselves with our own hopes and goals, we are the ones who are going to lead the road... and not give a chance for the road to lead us...

A pleasant holiday has finally approached. I think all of us were looking forward for it.. Yes we all need it so badly! Below are a few captures from my last Bar adventure =D .. Hope you like them! and Have a pleasant holiday my friends ;)

Childhood Memos

2005-12-25T00:26:00.000+04:00

Seriously, when was the last time you took a look at your old childhood toys? Personally, I did 2 days ago.. And I really can't explain the overwhelming joy I felt just looking at them. They really brought up long ago forgotten memories. First comb, first toy, first pair of shoes.. I am really glad I still keep some things that could one day return me back in time, and take me to a long journey, to where those dusty memories were once reality.
I am really sorry for children nowadays, because all they play with and think about are those electronic computerized technological alpha beta urrggh whatever.. I rarely see them playing "shr6a 7aramy, kook, elwawy, koora..etc" =P Their brains are entering a kind of trance led by those electronics! I know that our days are different, and today is different, but shouldn't we encourage them to take a break of those things? I'm sure that even a day would do alot!

Allaah yer7am ayam elshbaab.. Ayaam elsteenaat =P

So what do you think is better, our toys or the way children today use to entertain themselves..?

And now, HappY B!rthDaaaaY to 9adeeqti el9adooqa ..Cutie.. (Dec, 26, 1964) lol =D!! May you have a wonderful year full of happiness and joy.. O hal update ehdaa2 lch =).. HAPPY BIRTHDAAY dear o 3gbal alf sna nshalah.. ya7lelch walla o kbrat el3yaal =P

*Good luck for all in their exams ;)*

Happy 34th National Day to all Emirates, and to all of those who live on the lands of this great Country..
Though the holiday was short, it was Fun! I really miss those short holidays, the past few months have been running on a 240 km/hr speed, and I sure needed to stand on a traffic light to get hold of my breathe and absorb my current surroundings. Anyways, i apologise for breaking my promise and not posting on the 27th of November.. and nshalah I am going to update as soon as possible..

I have a few messages to some people..

CHECK POINT!

2005-11-24T14:24:00.000+04:00

I am holding a red flag waiting for three more days to pass, to implant it in the novel of my past.. Right now I am on page 6000 and something. Looking back, through the distance, i can see 17 red flags moving slowing.. each resembling the checkpoints I have reached, and each indicating a year-full of accomplishments and a path of awaiting dreams. Recorded on one of the prior pages, my first reading book from school, "Look" it was called. Yes i remember thinking how ridiculous it was to keep on reading the same word again and again throughout the book lol =P, although I was just four.. Old days..
My novel includes a couple of dim pages, and as awkward as it may seem, I am glad it does. After all, how would I be able to distinguish the colorful ones and taste the sweetness of them if there were no dim pages? Appreciation of the good comes only after we suffer from the bad, and only then will we be able to treasure it and cherish every piece we can lay our hands upon.
Then again, flipping through my memories, I see some pages written upside down. It was done intentionally, and that explains that some situations just doesn't seem to work the way we want. And just as those days seem to flow against my waves, I have written those pages against the previous flow of words..
I have reached some pages so bright that they brought a smile on my face recalling what was written on them..
Happy to know that my novel contains a colorful set of pages, I will complete the journey, continue coloring the pages based upon my days, and writing them in my memory.. I just can't bare watching every moment diffuse without being recorded and remembered, because I feel everything is there for a reason, and everything is done for us to learn from..
Someone very special to me told me once: "Well every moment is precious, doesn't matter if you like it or not, doesn't matter how much you enjoy living it through..it is still precious" =)

The illusion Of Time

2005-10-25T22:36:00.000+04:00

eheh :'( This is the second time am writing this entry. After 1 hour of writing, then clicking the Publish button and *BAM!* am back to the same page and everything is deleted.. yala i'll right again taking extra-precautions this time :P Bsmellah era7man elra7eem..

Ramadan is almost over, it has passed so quickly. Why is it when we want things to move at a slower pace it just speeds by like a flash? And when we want time to pass quickly, the hands of the clock merely even moves?! I was sitting in a Col-150 class listening to the professor as he spoke endlessly about Racial Identity. I was semi watching him through a blurry-unfocused vision, as i focused my sight on the clock hanging on the wall directly behind him. There it was, with its hands moving slower than ever.. chana y3anedny lol :P But i went out of that class having concluded a theory: "Time acts against the will of those who pain it attention" :P I think i should begin using my rule number 13 that states: Use the "6aaf" tactics lol :P

The "One Centimeter Cube"

2005-10-03T10:54:00.000+04:00

I'm posting this at 10:55 a.m, and from the morning until now i have broken my record of "The most number of yawns in 2 hours". Probably 1 yawn per 5 minutes :P Not only that, i have woken up today with the thought of me being a one centimeter cube lol :S (A cube as in the small box-like thing, yes! ). I remember i (the one centimeter cube) was floating in mid-air. Where did i get this idea from?! LOL i think the imagination part in my brain had gone wild and had suddenly decided to picture me in awkward situations. Ok Thanks ya Mr imagination for preparing me for the worst situations :P *yawn*
Before a week, i was reading about the Oprah's coverage" inside the Katrina catastrophe" in

HERE

.It was aired yesterday..I was so touched by the felony going on out there. I mean, who imagined this happening to *yawn* a 18 billion Dollar country, as they call it. Am not talking about the hurricane itself, but the chaos resulting from it.. i mean, would that happen if it hit a white community? Or is it just because it hit New Orleans which resembles a black community that the people there had to endure living in hell, or else left dying on the street side unnoticable, or even worse, going to the super dome? And in the end.. they are not racists.. Allah kareem :P
Ramadan Kareem to you all.. i will miss ramadan in AD :'(

Lately i have been keeping track of time from 7 a.m till 12+ p.m like no other time in my life. Uni. life sure does teach you the value of time. I even occationally jump out of bed at 8 a.m on weekends thinking i was late for class :P i guess my bio watch hasn't yet ajusted to the new routine.
A special Thanx to The One & Only for the encouragement i got :) your words meant alot to me..
Sorry for the short update, i'll try to write again as soon as possible..

I've started university at last! And i still remember yesterday, the day my dad walked me to the KG1 class with my pink lunch box that i still have and my Sesame street bag. How i wish to go back to those days :P I still remember yesterday, the day of my graduation, walking up the stage and saying my speech, then walking again to take my report card and turning round to face the big crowd of smiling mums. I also remember that yesterday when i was sitting on one of the university chairs solving the admission exam.. So many yesterdays to remember, and so many memories to cherish

As i was reading the news today, i found this interesting article by Abdulla Rashid, which i enjoy reading

يبدو أن العاملين في برنامج ''كلام نواعم'' الذي تقدمه شبكة

م بي سي العربية، وبخاصة المذيعات، بحاجة لمن ينعش معلوماتهن وذاكرتهن التي يبدو أنها أصيبت بالوهن والعجز والهشاشة·· ومن الواضح أن هذه الحالة تسري أيضا على معدي البرنامج والمخرج وبقية الطاقم·· فهذه هي المرة الثانية التي تتجرأ فيها مذيعات هذا البرنامج على دولة الإمارات خلال أقل من شهرين، حيث زعمت إحدى المذيعات أن الإمارات قد منعت النساء من ارتداء الحجاب!!!·· هكذا أطلقت هذا الاتهام المضلل بجرأة تحسد عليها، وكأن دولة الإمارات تعيش في كوكب آخر غير الكرة الأرضية، بحيث تعجز كاميرا البرنامج عن النزول إلى شوارع الدولة والمكاتب الرسمية فيها للتأكد عما إذا كان الإدعاء المزعوم يحمل قدراً من الصحة أم أنه ''كلام نواقص''! وقبل أن أرد على ما جاء في الحلقة التي أذيعت عبر شبكة (MBC) من هذا البرنامج مساء يوم الأحد الماضي، أود أن أشير إلى أن المذيعة التي افترت علينا، قالت بالحرف الواحد ''أستغرب من أن دولة خليجية مثل أبوظبي تمنع الحجاب··''·· ثم أضافت قائلة: ''وأنا لم أتأكد من ذلك إلا بعد أن قرأت هذه المعلومة في صحف أجنبية!!''·· وأريد هنا أن أصحح أولا معلومات المذيعة المبجلة، وأقول لها إنه لا توجد على خريطة العالم ولا في منظمة الأمم المتحدة ولا في الجامعة العربية ولا في أي منظمة دولية، دولة تسمى (دولة أبوظبي)·· بل هي دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة وعاصمتها أبوظبي·· وأرجو أن تبادر المذيعة المفترية بإعادة النظر في ثقافتها ومعلوماتها العامة عن الدول العربية وتنعش ذاكرتها قليلاً بمعلومات دقيقة وبمصطلحات وأسماء وصفات صحيحة، قبل أن تجلس أمام الكاميرا وتفتري على العالم عبر شاشة فضائية، نحبها ونعتز بها ونكن لها كل تقدير واحترام، ونتابعها يومياً، وتدخل كل بيت في جميع أنحاء العالم· أما النقطة الثانية التي أود أن ألفت نظر المذيعة المدعية إليها، فهي أننا ننتظر على أحر من الجمر أن تزودنا حضرتها باسم صحيفة أجنبية واحدة ادعت أن ''دولة أبوظبي'' منعت الحجاب·· وأتمنى أن ترسل إلي المقال أو الخبر وفيه جملة ''دولة أبوظبي'' كما زعمت، وكلمة ''حجاب'' كما قالت الأخت المذيعة· وبناء على ما سبق، فإنني أقول للمذيعة وللقائمين على البرنامج، بل لشبكة (MBC) بأكملها أن تأتيني باسم هذه الصحيفة التي ذكرت كلمة ''حجاب'' في أي خبر مزعوم عن الإمارات!؟·· ترى هل هي صحيفة صادرة في دولة الإمارات باللغة الإنجليزية؟·· أم أنها صحيفة أجنبية صادرة في الغرب؟·· أم أنها صحيفة صادرة في كوكب القردة، ولم تصل إلا إلى المذيعة المدعية فقط؟!·· وغدا سنوضح الكثير من الأمور الخافية على مذيعة ''كلام نواعم

Some of my renewed olddies.. (Ba7ar theme)

It's weird how nearly all people get to choose their path since they're under 10 years old; you often hear kids at this age choosing to be either a doctor or an engineer lol; at least they're starting to select the life they want. Lovely how at that time life seems to be flowing out so smoothly. But then slowly they come to realise the barriers standing between them and their ambitions. Some choose to ignore them and walk right through them, and some choose to lay aside there childhood dreams and come up with others which are easily reached and effortless. The reason am saying all this is that no matter what how narrow your path may sometimes get, try to squeeze through and keep on going, plus, one must expect obstacles anytime. So accept them as challenges, face them, and take the advantage of learning how to fight back and gain experience. *Don't put your ambition so far ahead of you that you loose sight of it..

(Am starting to sound like Oprah lol :P)
