Boring

2011-12-29T13:48:00.000+02:00

People at work, give me tasks !!!!!!!!! I'm warning you. I checked all the blogs, mails and tweets.. i even contacted people through whatsapp, Skye , BBM and phone calls.. still bored.
My brain is going numb, feeling zero creative and productive..
Hmmmmmm may be i should change my career path,take some crochet classes and start my own business :P or may be i should turn into a house wife.
Or may be i should shut my mouth up and enjoy this phase..

what to expect when you are expecting

2011-04-24T23:08:00.008+03:00

My sister (bestfriend) is pregnant, she's in week 16 now which means she still have five months to go. Being excited about the idea and since i'm observing what's going on with her closely i decided to write about the funny part of pregnancy.
I’m not interested in talking about all the stuff that's happening inside the womb and how the baby is growing, well anyone can google that and find plenty of articles telling you all about it, but I’m more into "what to expect from the people surrounding you".
when u first tell them the news with a big smile on your face mixed with plenty of anxiety that can be easily seen, they'll tell you congratulations "mabrook" but lets just wait to make sure even though the blood test proves it's 100% positive. (they'll start talking about the gender + the name).
All the ex-pregnants will start giving you the names of their doctors, the hospitals, the stretch marks cream you'll be using and what to expect through the 9 months journey all in less than one hour, not to forget their collection of stories about the ladies who died during delivery or there own miscarriage experience
After getting the confirmation from your doctor that you are really pregnant and gives you the very first picture of the baby (which is by the way a vague one) every one will start asking is it a boy or a girl? do you have names? but deep inside you can see that 80% of them are wishing and hoping it's going to be a baby boy !!!!!!!!.
Now, your face and attitude are very crucial at this moment since the 4-D ultrasound machine can't determine the gender yet. ya3ni if you're sleeping too much it's a sign that the baby is a girl, if by any chance you didn't look at your best then you're getting ugly and that means it's a baby boy, if you enjoy the smell of lemon then the baby is going to be a beautiful one, bla bla bla.....
If you didn't make up your mind on a name don't worry you'll be receiving lots of help, some will send you a list, some will start beautifying their names for you, some will give you the weirdest names you can imagine but all will dislike any name you mention.
To be continued.....

Once upon a time i used to blog

13 going on 30

2008-09-14T12:08:00.002+03:00

"Why GOD? Why? " those were joey's words when he turned 30. Remember this episode of friends when they all turned 30 and how rachel felt about not achieving her dreams? Ross buying a sport car and phoebee jumping on some sort of a balloon.
Well, i've turned 30 today,Wow !!!!!!!!! I still can't connect the number(30) with me.. I'm not in my 20s anymore !!! Actually i don't care if i'm 70, but feeling that u could've done better decisions and choices in those years,that ur life could've been alot different.
It's not the end of the world, i really cherish the memories and people i collected all through the years and i'm so thankful for the life i've lived.
The blesses i had are countless,my parents are on the top of my list, fifo ur the best sister a person can have, u made my life so interesting and so easy, thank u for helping me with all the tiny details,thank u for being so patient with all the craziness and none sense i do.

Keys

2008-08-07T15:15:00.003+03:00

The other morning i was leaving to work (late as usual) when i dropped my keys at the door, i lifted them up to realize that i have keys that i don't know what they are for.
What if those keys have the access to certain doors? (like the secret room where my mother keeps the chocolate in :P) what if life goes this way as well? what if we have keys to a better life to a promising future but we don't know how to use? or we don't even know that we have them already?

a year not wasted

2007-12-26T23:09:00.000+02:00

As tom hanks playing the role of Joe fox in u've got mail said "the god father has the answer to everything", i would say that "ally mcbeal" does have the answer to everything at least for me.
Even though the answers and even the issues they raise doesn't make sense, but in a way they tend to make things come together at the end and come up with an extremely thoughtful idea that never passed ur mind.
From all the things that have been said on the show i'll quote this, since it's the end of the year:
"if u think back and replay ur year, if it doesn't bring back tears either of joy and sadness, consider the year wasted"
Looking back at 2007, i guess it wasn't a year wasted at all as so many tears will fall, tears of sadness,a little bit of happiness,regret,....
Never in my life have i experienced life the way i did this year,i never had to deal with serious issues like i did , so many decisions i had to take that had a major influence on my life, some i regret,some were perfect and some ,well i still don't know their impact yet..
I wish and hope that 2008 will take away all the bad mood i had to go through in 2007, and no matter how tough and real we turn to be, we should always keep a space for our dreams and innocence to blossom.

a question to the void

2007-11-28T08:45:00.000+02:00

why do people change? why do they transform from making u feel ur on top of the world to nothing?

Ramadan

2007-09-13T13:09:00.000+03:00

Wishing u a blessed ramadan.

Happy birthday

2007-09-10T10:31:00.000+03:00

It's nice to have u in my life as ur really such a sweet person.

timing

2007-08-13T23:39:00.000+03:00

They say everything happens for a reason, the mosquito that kept buzzing over my head in the morning was the reason why i woke up today..

Time

2007-06-03T10:14:00.000+03:00

30 Mintues on a treadmill can look like a life time

and so does 7 months of not blogging

Death by sweets

2006-10-08T10:10:00.000+03:00

I was trying to tease my friend with this arabic sweets we got the other day,but i ended up dieing to have one of those right now :(

The moral of the story :

don't tease anyone with food while fasting and there's no need to dig for pictures that contain food on ur computer..

Ramadan is here..

2006-09-30T00:30:00.000+03:00

I just love this month and despite the long hours we have to fast ,still i'm enjoying the fact that ramadan has came at this time of the year, i'm enjoying having ftoor outdoor and the fact that we can spend the evenings while eating batee'7 ofcourse beside 2atayef ;)

Ramadan Kareem every one :)

Candles to blow..

2006-09-14T09:56:00.000+03:00

A note from the future

2006-09-12T01:32:00.000+03:00

I waited so long to see this movie, as the story seemed so nice and the cast, Keanu reeves and Sandra bullock the combination is great as I like them both, but am sad to say that it's such a bad movie !!!! I was expecting a very powerful and passionate movie :( The story isn't well written, may be because the idea is so hard and so imaginary.. i think they could've done it better..
If i had someone from the year 2004 commuincating with me in 2006 as the movie says, i'd ask him for so many things but mainly i'd ask him to give me a note (written by me in 2006) telling me (in 2004) what to do regarding a certain issue i think i handled it wrong back then.. i wonder if it would do a difference ;)

ghalooshisim

2006-09-04T01:01:00.000+03:00

Changing a bedroom can be very much hectic, so if ur looking for a change in ur life ,try to buy a new book, a dvd or u can even try some new places.. but don't take such a decision before thinking twice..

Action

2006-09-01T23:04:00.000+03:00

It's such a nice picture, i love the view specially at sunset.

but this comes with a price...

those are just hints of what happens daily at this street, seriously 3 accidents a day ( daily ) at the same spot !!!!! there must be something wrong !!!!!!!

would u?

2006-08-23T00:27:00.000+03:00

Something nice happened today on my way to work, the traffic suddenly stopped on the other side, a military person has stopped his car just to help an old man pass the street!!!

it felt like the stories they used to tell when we were kids :) i don't know how many people would do the same? i can't be sure of my answer as i'm not sure if i'll do the same if i were him... i don't think that i'll stop the traffic just to do so !!!

Both alive

2006-08-21T01:22:00.000+03:00

wow, it has been a while since i've posted anything in here, and the reason is that i've been having such a busy life .. beside my sister's wedding a month ago, work is taking like 99% of my time and that's really frustrating.. i hate it when work starts to take over my social life..
i have so many things to write about so i'll start one by one..
as for now i'm still alive and trying to keep this blog alive as well ;)

Where's Amman

2006-07-11T00:04:00.000+03:00

I was using google earth to look up something in Amman when i discovered that Amman wasn't on the map... Where did it go??

Viva italy

2006-07-10T00:39:00.000+03:00

i love this team, since 1990 italy has been my favourite team.. Paolo Maldini,Roberto Baggio and many others..

They really deserve the title as they played really nice..

finally the team i cheer for has won :)

Version of urself

2006-06-20T22:58:00.000+03:00

Do you ever feel you become the worst version of yourself ?? That a Pandora's Box of all the anger has sprung open and suddenly ur turning to be someone else !!!! U hate it but u can't do anything about it...

Italy

2006-06-13T01:17:00.000+03:00

Go Italy

Construction Site

2006-06-09T00:45:00.000+03:00

This belt is used to carry things from one place to another within the same site, so it's just amazing that this whole thing is built just to do this specific task.

06\06\06

2006-06-06T09:15:00.000+03:00

It's 06\06\06

I like dates like these, they give hope that something nice is gonna happen ;)

PoliceWomen

2006-05-22T10:03:00.000+03:00

Something drove my attention yesterday when i was in sweifeyh, police were all over the place, but they were all women yes, policewomen !!!!!!!!
They were issuing tickets specially for GUYS :P is it time for revenge?

Mosquitoes

2006-05-05T00:09:00.000+03:00

It's not summer yet and i've killed three mosquitoes !!!!?????? I hate them when they start buzzing at night over my head :( They r so annoying.

innocence

2006-05-04T23:36:00.000+03:00

As kids we look up for the adults, we dream of becoming one of them, we do our best to finish the required stages and to be called an adult..
We enjoy the title for a couple of years then we wish to go back in time and live moments from our childhood.. What used to be called innocence starts to fade away..
Ally mcbeal once said:" we have to reserve some innocence in us so we can be able to pass it to our kids" i see it's somehow true, right?

Torture

2006-04-23T08:49:00.000+03:00

High heels can add a very feminine touch to a girl's look and ofcource they add some more height , but to me, they are just an object for torturing.. They hurt the back,the feet..
I wonder how some can wear them for a long time without feeling any pain???!!! why can't they design ones that feel so comfortable to wear??
I hate those designers :P

Lemon chicken

2006-04-18T21:01:00.000+03:00

My friend and I had a reservation at the chinese restaurant "Ren Chai" at 7.30 last thursday, and thanks to me we arrived there at 8 !!!!! well since we've started the summer time, i'm late for everything, seriously, i can't make it on time.. I'm late for work (emmmm actually i'm always late for work :P) i'm late for any appointment i have !!!
The place is really amazing, the food, oh my god, the food was great, but we were served by the most annoying waiter u can ever imagine.. After a while we felt that him and the other waitresses were whispering about us :P
Our reservation ends at 9, we've finished eating around that time and waited for any one to give us the bill so we can leave, Mr.Annyoing came telling us that we have to finish because they needed the table !!!!! ya3ni kaman shwai kan ra7 yemsekna o ytal3na barra :P i told him that we were just waiting for the bill and it was their fault that they didn't bring it earlier !!!
anyways, despite that annoying waiter, i'm gonna still visit that place every now and then to eat their lemon chicken dish..

Flat tire...

2006-04-16T08:50:00.000+03:00

If ur a girl...
u walk to ur car to find that one of the tires is down..

What would you do???

No connection

2006-04-05T21:26:00.000+03:00

I just want to clear things here, my car has nothing to do with this rain, i repeat, it has absolutely nothing to do with it...
I just had an intention to wash it on saturday and that's it, i didn't actually wash it..

Fashion show...

2006-03-31T01:41:00.000+03:00

The last time i checked, the clothes were kept in a closet !!!! is it an old fashion now??!!

Great to have u back

2006-03-19T21:37:00.000+02:00

i was sitting in my office today feeling bored, i heared a noise outside someone was asking about me !!!!! i couldn't see who was it as the door was blocking.. when suddenly my friend who has been away for four months now just came in !!!!!!! oh my god what a surprise it was, i couldn't believe that she was actually in my office, she's here in Amman !!!!!!!!

Ofcource those four months were like yesterday, we continued exactly from the last time we saw each other.. in a few hours we were back doing our usual stuff..

I just wanna say, it's great to have u here, we really missed u ;)

A walk on the cloud

2006-03-18T01:37:00.000+02:00

My friend and i decided to start walking (this decision has nothing to do with weight or ulker's labaneh :P) .... we started almost two weeks ago, no matter how tired we were, we just gather any energy we have and start an one hour walk..
after almost 2 weeks, here some notes to concider if u decided to walk in amman:
1. Amman is known for it's mountains, ya3ni u'll spend most of ur walk tloo3 ( the other day tle3na tal3a ya3ni 3an mashi saneh, if u felt u had too much food for lunch i'll give u the directions la hay el tal3a, park ur car be awalha, i'll guarantee u'll burn it).

2. Dogs are part of the population now, u'll have to cope with this idea, act cool and calm if u saw a dog half ur size looking at u wishing to have the chance to jump over u (there's one street that has a great view, we r dying to walk through it, but thanks to this huge unleashed dog, we can't)

3. Most of the people ur gonna run with through ur walk are workers (3ommal bona), so it's normal to smell onion while they r cooking their food and to see them doing dabkeh..

4. Taxi drivers are always there incase ur tired, as every passing taxi will launch a horn when they pass near u, they can't accept the idea that ur WALKING just because u want to.

5. if u think that u woke up early on a friday morning to start ur walk thinking that ur not gonna see people, well ur mistaken, as some couples are one step ahead of u well dressed for breakfast i guess..

6. Amman has the greatest views and an amazing fresh air..

i'll post some pics i took during our walks in a lter posts..

manipulating with fate..

2006-03-15T08:31:00.000+02:00

"What's meant to happen is meant to happen"
i used to believe in that alot, actually my whole life was based on this rule,if something didn't work out then it's not meant to work out.. everything happens for a reason, we shouldn't interfere with fate..
u can't imagine the inner peace you can have when u actullay believe in this as regret seems so far away.
until one day, i thought to my self, what if those things are meant to happen and it just need a little work to make it happen?? what if i'm wasting lots of good things just because i convinced my self with this idea? what if the only thing i want in life that i thought it can't happen ,can actually happen?? so i changed my point of view , i took an action and started working on that issue, i actually became obssesed with this whole thing, i wanna make it happen no matter what, i cared about nothing else..
i ignored all the signs, i didn't listen to anyone.. i just wanna make it happen, i wanna interfere with fate and make the dream a reality..
but again "What's meant to happen is meant to happen"
i realized again that it's 100% true, with all the effort i made, i failed to achieve what i want..
concider it a ghalooshisim and enjoy ur inner peace..

my turn..

Rain and me...

2006-02-25T21:30:00.000+02:00

If u really miss a rainy day, and u wake up in the morning wishing that it's gonna rain today.. el '7olasah if u really like rain and u wish it rains, all u have to do is ask me to wash my car...
yes, it's that simple....
every time i wash my car, it rains instantly... and just when i try to be smart and avoid washing it, the sun will rise for a week ...

yesterday i went to the gas station to have my car washed, what drove my attention is that most of the cars being washed were brought by women, there was may be one or two guys...
while waiting, there were two women with their children waiting as well, one was shouting at her kids all the time, and the other one was holding her daughter's hand showing her how the process goes, talking to her, listening to her.. i thought "honak 3enayah, wa honaka 3enayet comfort" do u remember this phrase from comfort's ad?? what would that woman lose if she stopped shouting and actully enjoyed this thing with her kids, after all the whole idea of taking ur kids to wash the car is to ENJOY....

el mohem my car is dirty now, though i checked the weather before washing it and they said nothing about rain!!!!! see??

surprises..

2006-02-24T23:20:00.000+02:00

why do people hate surprises?? so many people would mention that when u try to do them a nice and sweet surprise...
They just want you to do the thing you're trying to do so straight forward.. why don't they just allow other people to show them how creative they can be, how thoutfull they can be and above all how caring they can be.....

Me as a person do love surprises (good ones ofcource), although no one has managed to surprise me so far, i mean like really surprised me.. i just have this way of figuering people's plans...

work

2006-02-21T10:18:00.000+02:00

I wake up late as usual, racing time, try hard to be there as early as i can, but i fail...
swith the car on, turn the radio on trying to catch anything to hear during my 7 minutes drive to work .. on my way i keep praying to find a good spot to park my car , most of the times my prayers are not answered and i spend 10 minutes trying to find one .... i enter the door, avoiding the metal detector something, i greet the person at the entrance, press the elevator button, i check in, greet the people at my office, log on to my computer, open the drawers to put the valuable things in , start checking my mail, and then the day will start, either a busy one with lots of work to do, meetings, problems to solve.. or just an extremely boring day with nothing to do (but those cases are rare) ...
A countdown will start at 3.30, the most boring 0.30 hour in my life... at 3:57 i log off my computer, put my things back to my bag, i check out at 4:00, press the elevator button, greet every one again, i walk to my car (with a big smile on my face), switch the car on, the radio will automatically be turned on, try to hear anything nice and full of energy during my 3 minutes drive back home, i park my car at the garage, and a new day will begin now...

it seems so boring writing the daily routine of work but awkwardly i keep doing it every day.. sometimes with no interest of doing it at all, but most of the times i do it with lots of pleasure..
can work be a fun something to do?? i wonder..

P.S: sheeps are not my favourites, it's just a coincedence :P

HAJJ

2006-01-12T23:29:00.000+02:00

i was watching "HAJJ" with lots of interest this year, i liked the idea of how the saudi TV is transmitting the whole event live, going through people, showing us almost every step of "HAJJ". i guess they did a good job this year..
seriously organizing such an event requires lots of work i mean very hard work.. and every year they come up with new ideas to make it easier and more safe.. can u imagine that a country is hosting 2 million people in addition to it's own citizens and all are gathered in one place !!!!! wow!!!!
but this year sadly two bad accidents happened, first the hotel and today the "mina" incident.
till today's afternoon we were all glad and thankful that the pilgrims managaed to finish "el rami" stone throwing easily , but sadly 345 were killed...

my brother who went there two years ago was telling me how the authorities there are taken lots of precautions to prevent such accedents, first they renew the whole jamrat bridge, they came up with this idea that the pilgrims will go from one way and when finished they go back from another one,they have changed the shape of the throwing place from circular to oval.. in the coming years they will build a third floor and then a fourth one and so on.. they announce with speakers to the pilgrims with all languages some instructions to follow, as u might have seen how the security people keep a circle in the middle so as to act fast if something happened like today, they keep this space open and empty so they can be able to aid the injured very fast..
what makes me sad is that with all these precautions and effort to make the "HAJJ" so organized and accidents free, still every year some have to die...

may god bless the one who have died..

Greetings

Happy Eid

3eed

2006-01-10T01:13:00.000+02:00

ohhh how tired i am at this moment, it was a hectic day, but i liked it :)
as i said before i just love "el wa2feh" with all the "3aj2a" it brings.. i spent the whole day going from one place to another bringing stuff for tomorrow..i tend to keep some stuff till today so as to feel the spirit of 3eed..
am the one incharge of bringing the "ma3mool" and chocolate for the house, it's my job to search for new places to buy "ma3mool" from, (yeah we don't have a homemade ma3mool :P) and this is one of the things i enjoy, trying new places.. sometimes i get a credit for doing my job right and sometimes am just criticized for the choice i made. so it's not an easy job after all :P this time seems i'll get some credit ;)

every "wa2feh" and every "3eed" i just feel so blessed, for so many things, for being able to get the things i want to, for being able to celebrate "3eed" without having to worry about anything in the world, for and for.......... they r just countless..
i keep reminding my self that "3eed" isn't an ornament we buy to decorate our houses with but it's more about feelings, to feel with those that can't enjoy "3eed" for so many reasons and to do our best to bring joy and happiness to them as much as we can...
feelings for the ones close to us, to appreciate, to connect and to be a better person..

we all remember "3eed" when we were kids, and every time we just say that "3eed" isn't the same as it was when were younger, that may be true but today i just thought about it, it can't end at a certain age, i think that we should at every stage of our life develop a way to enjoy it..

hope every one will have a blessed and joyful "3eed"

sheep

2006-01-04T12:43:00.000+02:00

as eid el ad7a is coming soon, i decided to get an ornament for my desk related to this occasion..
after lots of thinking i thought to my self well this eid is related to sheeps, so why not to get one?? i went to all the places that i thought it could have such a thing, i went every where searching and searching and with every place i enter i could hear them laugh when i say "execuse me, do u have a sheep toy??" some will answer with a no, some will go : we have cows if u want with a big smile on their faces... but did i give up?? noooo.. i kept looking until eventualy i found one ;)
i took it to work, and what do u expect the reaction was??? yes, ur right, every one gathered around it laughing and giving some sarcastic comments.. some would bring their coffee mug asking for milk :P by the end of the day everyone just loved the sheep...
he's very education lover by the way :P and he'll be the only survivor when all the other sheeps are slaughterd :P

2006

2006-01-01T22:20:00.000+02:00

though as every one else hated 2005 alot but i must say that i'm thankful for having all my family beside me...
may 2006 brings nothing but happiness and all great things :)

Utopia

2005-12-29T23:44:00.000+02:00

every one dreams of Utopia, we build images of it in our minds.. we have dreams about making it true..
but what's the definition of it?

in "ANTZ" Utopia to them was a trash bin!!! ironic huh?!!!

questions

2005-12-29T09:23:00.000+02:00

there are certain questions that i really hate... i have no answer to them seriously

"what's ur favourite song?" i have lots of songS that i like.

"what's ur favourite movie?" come on i have a list of movies that i can see over and over.

"what are the qualities u look for in a man?" r u kidding me??!!!! i don't know, sometimes u meet someone that has nothing to do with what u have in mind but he impresses u, u can't have a predefined conditions and u'll desmiss any option that won't apply to those conditions.

"what's ur dream country?" i'll say morocco but i'd love to visit other countries.

am i talking sense? may be or may b not....

bad habbits

2005-12-23T13:40:00.000+02:00

i was tagged to say five bad habbits i have.. hmmmm

1. i keep changing the radio channels while driving to the extent that i drive every one crazy..

2.i can never say the thing i wanna say, i keep talking about everything but the thing
i wanna say.

3. if i eat fruits they have to be cut into cubes!!! what's wrong with eating a whole fruit :P

4. if i see a phone i have to use it...

i have some more but i can't remember them now, so i'll keep 5 open till i remember one...

chocolat

2005-12-22T23:14:00.000+02:00

do u remember the movie "chocolat"??
the person behind this movie is such a talented one, to come out with all the recipes, to make a movie concept out of something so tasteful yet so simple as chocolate..
what i liked about that movie is the drink she makes, a raw coco drink with chili pepper. i always wondered how that would taste like.. i recently had the chance to try it :) a chocolate drink with chili pepper, to be honest it wasn't exactly the way i expected, but it was nice.. it's not like a chocolate powder, it's a melted chocolate!!!! wow
still there are like 10 more flavours to try... mint, hazlenut,......
i wonder if the "chocolat" people can give me the reipe for that drink!!! hmmmm

Radiations!!!

2005-12-20T21:31:00.000+02:00

people at work started complaining about the amount of radiations we go through each day.
first we go through the metal detector (going in and out).. then the electronic access machines (again twice a day)...
hmmm i think they have a sort of paln to vanish all the employees by the end of 2006 :P

no, it's not spring yet, still we r in DECEMBER!!!!!

"matchbox" hammers!!!

2005-12-13T21:25:00.000+02:00

scarf ... "laf7a"

2005-12-07T22:28:00.000+02:00

u know how "laf7a" can add extra heat in winter, beside it's so fashionable...
i like them alot as they really add a cute touch for the thing ur wearing...
last year while shopping for "laf7at" , my mother saw how it was hard for me to find one, so she told me, well i can make u one.. "huh?? really?" she told me i'll make u one and u can wear it if u liked it, so in two days my first hand made "laf7a" was ready... it was so nice, i liked it alot.. so greedy i became and asked for more, so another one was made then suddenly i ended up having 4 !!!!!
every one was jealous and asked her for "laf7at", by the end of winter every one was bragging about the hand made "laf7a" he has....
here's my collection, i like them so much as every time i wear them not only they bring me heat but they r so full of love as the greatest person on earth made them specially for me :)

this is the first one i had

pink is totally my color

this is the newest one,
she completed it today ;)

she's doing this for my nephews,
she made the nieces anothr one with
the same pattern but different colors
(pink and purple).

moments in movies

2005-12-06T22:31:00.000+02:00

i started this thing a year ago, i'm making my collection of movies that consists of every movie ever touched me..
no matter how good a movie was, still u can't remember every detail, but there is a certain part that goes deeeeep into ur heart and remains there.. it inspires u to change something or to dream bigger or simply to enjoy life...

today as i was feeling a little bit down, i went to my collection and picked a few movies to see.. i saw the begining of "13 going on 30" and managed to continue "runaway bride".. old ones i know but this is my collection, it varies from old ones to new..

"13 going on 30" simple but yet so joyful movie, it just change my mood... yet it has this idea, how we sometimes get drift while growing up, how our dreams vanish sometimes, how we lose touch with the true things that brings joy to our life..

"runaway bride" has this part where julia goes at the end of the movie to richard and tells him how during all her relations she knew every tiny detail of her partner's life but no one ever managed to know the real her ofcourse except him, then she goes on repeating to him the proposal he suggested... to tell u the truth OMG what a propsal, so real...

"u've got mail" what a lovely movie, so peaceful, so funny... it has this part when she sends him an e-mail after they were supposed to meet but he comes as 'joe fox" and not the "ny152" she tells him that"the odd thing about this form of communication is that ur more likely to talk about nothing than something but i just wanna say that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings"....

"notting hill" when julia goes to hugh's shop and tells him "am just a girl standing infront of a boy asking him to love her" i like the soundtrack of this movie along with"my best friend's wedding"

i can go on for ever, "shakespear in love" what a passionate movie, i never liked Gwyneth Paltrow until this movie... "top gun" to me tom cruise is top gun o bas, the planes, wow...

i guess i'll keep updating this post every now and then....

technology or?

2005-12-05T13:57:00.000+02:00

yesterday we officially started using the new machines, i came to work a little bit late (hushh, don't tell any one) and like a very civilized person i went directly to the machine (placed at our floor) and i checked in, as i was in a hurry i didn't wait to see if the machine accepted the code or not... two hours later i was talking with some girl and she told me that the machine on our floor wasn't configured yet and all the employees had to use another machine... i went like huh??!!!! but i, ino, i checked in from that machine !!! i picked up the phone and called the HR and told them my story... they were so understanding... if only u could see el 3aj2a by the end of the day when all the emplyees had to check out!!!! OMG, i waited 15 mints for my turn.. el mafrood that they placed a machine in every floor but some rn't working yet..

today i came to work, again a little bit late( again don't tell any one, this time with serious tone :P) i ran into the machine (the only working one) to find out that there was a line of people waiting to use it, i looked at my watch, it's not supposed to be 3aj2a as i was late..
the funniest part was that this machine went down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's not working either !!!!!!
so most of the employees today didn't check in!!!!!!! so most of the employees i guess will leave early today !!!!!! i'm still laughing...
ino the whole idea of those machines is to control el dawam, but the opposite just happened..
finally, technology is doing us a big favour.... or is it the opposite of technology that is standing in our side??

it's a common thing when u work that sometimes u just give ur ID card to one of ur colleagues and ask them to pass it in the electronic access machine for u, well am sorry to tell u that those days are gone...
new machines were added that depends on ur finger prints or something.....
Today at work they saved all the employees' fingerprints along with their ID's,
as starting sunday we'll be using it officially !!!!!!
COOL :P

the instructions are the funniest part...

equality

2005-11-28T21:41:00.000+02:00

i'll start a training course tomorrow, my boss asked me today to check the training room and prepare it for tomorrow, and by that he meant to supervise the preperations.. i went to see the training room and i found out that we have to move about 5 computers from one room to another, i thought well i can never do this !!!!! so i called one of the guys that i work with to help me, he was kind enough that he moved all the computers by himself !!!! yeah all the guys are attending another training course somewhere else, all i had to do is to connect things togother and check if the computers were connected to the network..
so girls don't ask for equality coz really we r doing fine here ;) masakeen el shabab :P

twenty something

2005-11-27T08:29:00.000+02:00

i've read this the other day, it's so true..

"They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like.
You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones.
What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.
You look at your job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you. our opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that
the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you.
Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.
You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now >
you'd just like to be a contender!
What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out. "

expirey date..

2005-11-21T12:52:00.000+02:00

i was eating this chocolate bar today, i suspected that there's something wrong in it as the chocolate was a little bit white!!!!! i looked at the expirey date and it was 21/11/2005 that's today :P

it's a funny coincidence..

check the expirey date of the thing ur eating before u eat it... "another ghalooshisim" :P

stuck in the middle...

2005-11-19T19:03:00.000+02:00

it's been almost a year...
i wake up in the morning thinking of this issue, i go to work and yup no matter how busy i am, still i think of it, i drive the car and with every song on the radio, i think of it.. i go to sleep ur right again i'm thinking about it...

God, it's driving me crazy, i can't stop the thinking and i can't find a solution....

A week

2005-11-16T20:53:00.000+02:00

a week has passed and yet i'm feeling sad...

God bless our Jordan....

end of an era...

2005-11-15T22:30:00.001+02:00

my friend left to abu dhabi two weeks ago, she got married and went there...
i've known her for 7.5 years!!!!! she's really my best friend... and now i'm really missing everything.. i miss our drives at "abdoun", i miss how we used to park the car near " gerard" having ice cream in the summer and"sa7lab" in winter watching almost every person and every car, i miss the hours we spent on their balcony eating nuts and chips, talking about everything, i miss the movie nights at my house, i miss how we used to discover new places and try them instantly, i miss chili cheese fries and how they used to make us "msatleen", and though the hours we spent shopping used to drive me crazy as she's picky but now i miss them too, i miss our days at university with all the fun we had.. i miss the lunch breaks..
today i went to her house and visited her family, it was weired her not being there..
hope u'll have a great life and to achieve what u really want and thank u for sharing me the last wonderful 8 years of our lives....

2004

2005-11-15T21:51:00.000+02:00

i miss the year 2004 alot, i kept telling every one this but they used to laugh at me and telling me hey stop having those stupid thoughts !!!! but seriously it was such a peaceful and great year for me.... i guess everyone would agree specially after those events...
but the reason or reasons behind why i liked 2004 are :
1) i spent most of it not working and this to me was a bless as i had the chance to do the things i really wanted to do... now with the long working hours i hardly have time to do anything, and i'm working on a system that's somehow very Sophisticated and gives me a feeling of frustration alot... till now i hate going to work, i didn't have peace with the pressure,i hate waking up so early and most of the times i'm really late...
2) i had the chance to travel alot in that year not like now, i didn't go any place further than "zowadeh"... kidding i went to dead sea :P
3) i spent this summer attending a course (again, for work) from 4 pm till 8 pm, that means spending 12 hours of my day doing things for work !!!!!! and as a result of that i didn't enjoy amman this summer...
3) i had inner peace, and that's something i miss now..
4) the list is too long i can go on forever, but i'll just say that AMMAN wasn't hurt last year and that's a major reason for missing 2004 ...

in their eyes..

2005-11-11T16:34:00.000+02:00

they didn't really get what was happening... but when they saw the demonstrations outside the house they insisted on wearing "7atta" and started drawing the flag....
those r my two nieces.....

"mawteni"... my homeland

2005-11-11T16:15:00.000+02:00

remember this song?? how we used to sing it when we were kids?? today i heared it on the radio... it was like listining to it for the first time.....

sad, so sad

2005-11-10T22:48:00.000+02:00

the newspaper today wasn't delivered to our house, i guess the delivery guy was afraid to pass our street or something....
i stayed home today as our street was really crowded and full of events, so i thought of making a home delivery then i thought, how will the people on the other line act when they ask for the address??!!! u know the first building after the radisson sas hotel !!!!!
i don't think they would've done that, so i cancelled the whole idea and just stayed home watching the demonstrations and feeling really angry and sad for what happened...
the worst feeling today was when i woke up this morning, it was like waking from a dream except it was true.. i went directly to the window to find that everything was so quite!!!!
it hurts, really hurts so much...

so people try to be more concedirate, it's not a fun something, the demonstrations r for a cause so stick to it...

"al maseera" ... demonstration

2005-11-10T14:13:00.000+02:00

the first pics is how the maseera started..
some TV station guy was shooting from our house..
the policemen were giving kids flags and pics for king Abdallah then kissing them( kissing the kids)...

my beloved amman

2005-11-09T22:53:00.000+02:00

our house is in the middle between radisson and hyatt... i've never seen our street so empty... u hear nothing but the sounds of ambulances,fire engines and police cars.. the scene of people covered in white hurts so much.... i tried to take pics, but it's not easy coz really it's so hard to do so in such situation...

as i said the pics mo kteer wad7een, allah yer7am the innocent people who was killed for no reason.... may allah bless our beloved amman...

u can't imagine how i felt when i heared the news as i was outside the house, it took me for ever to go back as the streets were crowded and the police didn't let me go to my house, i had to park my car a little bit away and walked... it was a hard time for me and my family...

i don't want to

2005-11-06T13:06:00.000+02:00

i feel that am 7 years old once again... i spent yesterday whining and complaining as i don't wanna go to work today... i remembered when we used to go back to school after a long summer vacation... it's relly so depressing :(
though i enjoyed the day but still i'd feel better if today was also a holiday ;)

Greetings

2005-11-04T23:25:00.000+02:00

Happy Eid

3eed

2005-11-03T01:33:00.000+02:00

in few hours u feel that everything is transformed, from ramadan's spirits to eid's....
though i like "el wa2feh" but somehow i feel sad that ramadan is gone, in one month our life seems so different, so routine free, so spiritual, u don't have 2 days alike in the whole month....
i like it, i simply like it :)
i guess that the whole idea of eid is to somehow make things easier, i mean the transformation thing,just like today i spent the whole day getting stuff for tomorrow, like ma3mool and chocolates, gifts for my nephews and nieces, oh my god how hard that part was"the gifts"...
people on "wa2feh" tend to be so "lazezeen", every place u go u hear people telling u kol 3am o into b'7air and that kind of stuff, they give free chocolate and ma3mool :P 7elweh hay el 3aj2a :)
and the interesting part is that my parents do their best to make everyone's 3eed so special, in every way they can :) it makes me feel so blessed, thank u both for making every day of our life a 3eed like :)
may everyone enjoy his 3eed, and may every wish come true...

kol 3am o into b'7air :)

Ramadan

2005-11-02T01:20:00.000+02:00

i usually like to have a drive in ramadan before iftar, and i usually take it right after i finish work, though it's so 3aj2a but i like doing it... i go to buy anything like 2atayef just to enjoy every minute of my day... i don't complain about the traffic or how people get crazy while driving as i'm doing this for fun and i'm not in a hurry...
today i went to bring 2atayef, the place i buy from is a very well organized one, it has been like this since the beggining of ramadan, u don't wait, as they have everything ready, u just order and in less than a minute u can take ur order and leave as they prepare everything inadvance, but today it was so different, it was so crowded as if people didn't eat 2atayef the entire month !!!! i wanted to park my car so i was waiting for some guy to leave, i gave a signal that i wanna park here, then out of a suddedn a woman came and wanted to take the place, can't she see that am waiting with a signal , i was faster and parked the car, she started shouting as if i was the mistaken person here!!!!!!! am not the kind of people who shout or fight but she really annoyed me, so all what i said was "i was giving u a signal that i wanna park" and left to queue and wait for my turn to have 2atayef, i waited like 20 mintues !!!!!
ok, the point is people those are the last days of ramadan so stay calm, mo mestahleh ...

am really gonna miss ramadan, i love this month, i can't believe that we'll go back to our daily routine :( i so much enjoyed it..

Exam

2005-10-31T09:50:00.000+02:00

i don't know y we bothered ourselves alot in school trying hard to calculate or"find" X when it's so obvious where X is :P

mosque

2005-10-28T04:20:00.000+02:00

this is how the kalooti mosque looked today at 3.30 AM, yup AM....
the pics mo kteer wad7een as i was afraid to take them in such a crowd :P

i so much have the feeling that tonight was "lailet el 2ader", god knows..

and here we go, start fasting ;) it's ironic how at one moment u r eating then stop there no more food till 12 hours later..

car wash

Expecting the world to treat u fairly because ur a good person

Early bird.......

2005-10-17T08:02:00.001+02:00

i can't believe my self, i went to work today at 7.20 !!!!!!!! 2enjaz
am tooo sleepy :( and believe me the only good thing i gained from getting early to work is a good parking for my car :P

If only...

2005-10-16T11:04:00.001+02:00

One of the options u have when u post anything here is "delete", u can delete ur post, u can as well edit that post, ya3ni u can manipulate ur post the way u want..
how would it be like if we can do such a thing in real life??!!!!!!!!!!!!
if we can delete certain parts of our life??? if we can edit that part?? wouldn't that be an amazing thing to do??
yeah i know all that talking about the experiences we go through in life and how everything u face changes something in u, the way u think and ur personality but simetimes there r certain things that u just can't handle, that u really wish they never happened.. u start asking ur self, how my life would've been if that certain thing didn't happen??
am talking about the tiniest detail that may have annoyed u in ur life, it doesn't have to be a disasterous thing inorder to regret it and wish it never happened, sometimes u wish that u can delete the best thing ever happened to u !!!!!!!

IF ONLY....

found

2005-10-15T11:39:00.000+02:00

yup, they found the car today... the police called us in the morning and told us that the car was found in "we7dat" :) to tell u the truth i didn't expect to find it in such a short time..
the car was in a good status, only the fuel was empty and that's the reason why they had to leave it ( i mean the one who stole it)..
it seems that they just wanted to have a drive, to have fun during the weekend :P

stolen car

2005-10-14T00:41:00.000+02:00

one of our cars was stolen :(
it was parked infront of the house then suddenly it was missing..
my brothers started the search process now, hopefully they will find it...

Dreams

2005-10-12T12:13:00.001+02:00

What to do when u feel that all ur dreams are gone, when everything u believe in suddenly seem wrong??

So Frustrating......

cooking

2005-10-08T22:33:00.000+02:00

i've done something today that i usually don't do... well i've cooked
the funny part was that the whole family wanted to try it so my mother didn't cook :S no backup no support..
masakeen they had to eat it :P
it wasn't fun and i don't kow how my mother do it, i mean cooking every day, specially in ramadan, u have to feed every body at the same time and there's no mercy, after fasting for hours no one will wait extra minute after "2adan"...
the menu for today was: -chicken with lemon and mint
-pasta(spagetti with red sause and meat)
wallah they were nice, they need some changes in the future bas wallah mashi 7alhom kan...

Before Iftar

2005-10-07T16:41:00.000+02:00

One of the things i like doing in ramadan is to go for a drive before Iftar.. Many would say that this is a stupid thing to do specially how people go crazy before "Iftar" but i go like an hour before it or even 2 hours sometimes...
this will keep me aliitle bit occuipied and stop thinking about food :P
today i went for "this drive" and took some pics , i'll post some very soon :)

30 mints are left for "2adan" :P

Ghalloshisim

2005-10-05T13:57:00.000+02:00

Don't search for recipes while fasting :P

shaking

2005-10-03T11:39:00.000+02:00

Stop shaking my bed!!!!!! i'll be up in a minute !!!
hmmmm i don't think that someone is shaking the bed, i've been through this thing before, yeah
here we go again, it's another "hazzeh"...
my sister looked at me and said, u felt it?? yup i did...
shortly my parents were up, all gothered in the sitting, asking the same question, did u feel it??
i opened the TV to see if JTV has something to say, but nope, i found "2efta7 ya semsem" instead :D so i sat and watched ;) every one went back to sleep right away!!!! i stayed for like 45 mints then i went to bed... i was late for work :P but hey i have an execuse "beside i was watching 2efta7 ya semsem, kan fee hazzeh" :P
inshallah nothing bad will ever happen, we don't mind being shaked every now and then as we really need such a thing to start thinking of our life differently, to start appreciating that we r alive...
may allah bless us all :)

Friday..

I hate fridays in general, but today just exceeded it all.... how boring my day was, the only thing i did today beside sitting on TV and surfing the net was going to the GYM and ahhh i saw a movie that i saw 2 years ago , it's " two weeks notice"... i like this movie, hugh grant and sandra bullock make an interesting couple, don't u think so?!
why can't we have an ending like the one we see in movies, where everything goes right at the end ?? so2al '3abi i know, why can't we just live a story of our life?? so2al a'3ba..
the idea of finding "the one" always interest me, the whole relationships thing puzzles me.. we spend our entire life searching for this person, we may go for "the one" or we can settle for the most appropriate one!!! ouch i hate this... how can u share ur life with some one u hardley know anything about him??? can't get the idea of arranged marriages...
when it comes to relationships am more like ally mcbeal, in one aspect is that she spends her entire life searching , sometimes she meet ppl that seem to be perfect but to her she feels inside that this is not it... to her relationships is what her life is based on, though she seems to have it all but she always have this issue that's finding her someone....
well some friend once told me that i acctuley reminds him of her :P
there's an episode where she sang this song" Goodnight my someone", she was sending it to the anonymous someone, to the void.....

i liked the idea, so here i go ..... Good night my someone :p
