Post-Birthday Gift List

2010-07-05T11:32:00.002+04:00

So my birthday went really well. All the previous freaking out was unnecessary because when my birthday came and went, I still felt the same. LOL. Guess I was being childish. Celebrated with 11 of my closest friends at China Mood in Bustan and it was amazing. China Mood is my all time favourite restaurant and the company was amazing. Next morning a friend and I cooked brunch at her place for a group of friends and later went to another friend's place to watch the game. Saturday which was my actual birthday, we watched the game at a local cafe and I was surprised later with cheesecake and a candle. It was great.

So its a few days after my birthday and I think the gifts stopped coming in now. This is what I got so far:

* A Spa Package from a group of friends - 4.5 hours at Essence Spa. I cant wait. This was on my wish list and Im excited.

* A Massage from a friend from Essence Spa. I will bulk it with the spa package and spend the entire day there. LOL

* My favourite perfume Narcisso Rodriguez and the shower gel from Daddy.

* A Hyatt Privelege Card from my sister which includes a one night stay at the Hyatt and a whole bunch of other things.

* A One night stay at the Chedi from my brother. Actually it was the thought. He gave me the cash for it and Im still carrying it around. So I guess I can get myself the one night stay at Chedi or just use the cash for shopping or whatever.

* Other gifts from friends included Swarovski earrings, Escada perfume, Sayed Junaid arabic perfume and a bra and panty bags. LOOOL.

Im 30 and Im happy.

My 30th Birthday Wishlist - Part 2

2010-06-09T08:45:00.008+04:00

I couldnt continue on the original one cos pics stopped uploading on that post. Thought maybe its a size issue. Anyways here is a list of the more realistic birthday wants. LOOOL.

* A Spa Package - I guess Im just the kind of person that is too lazy to go treat myself. But this is something that I would really like / enjoy.

* An Areej Gift Certificate - I need to stock up on makeup and cosmetics.

* An Italy Shirt - World Cup is coming up and Im rooting for Italy. They have been my team fr the past 5 years. Their boys are hot. LOOOL

* Mini 3gal - Ive been trying to get my hands on these but I cant. I have emailed them but no reply. Maybe someone else will be more successful.

* A Decent Pair of Trainers - These are pretty much what I want. I can never find any here. And if I do find the style I like, they have always run out of my size.

* Peace of Mind - Again. A top Priority. Wish it was something you could buy in a store.

My 30th Birthday Wishlist

2010-06-08T13:37:00.010+04:00

I was first asked by my sister a couple of months ago what I wanted for my birthday since its the big three O. Then over the past couple of weeks I was asked again by a few close friends. I do this list every year but I guess this year I was procrastinating a little cos Im kinda freaked out about kissing my twenties goodbye. Ive never really been the kind of person that really cares about age but I dont know what happened this year.

So basically here is my list - which I know I will not be getting most of them but thats why its called a "wish" list. LOL. They are in no particular order.

* iPad - it never really interested me when it came out but my brother got one as a gift and i tested it out. its quite entertaining. Guess it will be very useful / fun when more places in Oman start having free wifi.

* An all expenses paid trip to Dubai for my birthday weekend - As per tradition, Ive been going every year for my birthday and making all the arrangements and even driving myself and my friends there. This time I wanna go without a care in the world. I want someone to make full arrangements and everything. I wanna go and relax with friends and loved ones. Chill by the beach, get a killer tan and come back relaxed.

* A Tag Heuer Formula 1 Edition Watch - Now Ive had my eye on this watch for a while. Its a mens watch yes I know but I dont have problems since I wear my dad's watches all the time. Isnt it a beauty??

* A specific Gucci Bag - Now this is something Ive also had my eye on for a loooong time. I love the shape of these ones but I never liked the mirror / metal bits they usually had on them and then they came out with some gorgeous non-metally ones such as this one. Yesterday I was watching a movie on TV and the exact same one I want was carried by the girl in the movie. The movie was about a bratty rich american chick who goes to a suburban English boarding school (black and white creases folded in - had a pic of it will put it up when I find it)

* A surprise birthday party - Ive never had a surprise party thrown for me. I guess cos its always been me that organises everything and thinks up surprise parties.

* A Narciso Rodriguez Eau De Toilette gift set - and I mean the full shebang. With the body lotion and the shower gel and everything. Its my all time favourite perfume and I decided not to buy it myself when mine ran out last week to keep something affordable on this list. LOOOL. People dont be fooled by the limited edition whatevers - its the exact same perfume they just come out with different bottles every once in a while.

* A Night at Al Bustan Palace Hotel - Ive seen some of the rooms there and they are out of this world after the renovation. Preferably one of those lagoon rooms where you access a semi-private "lagoon" pool from your balcony.

* Peace of mind - will leave it at that

Dear You, The Blood Running Through My Veins

2010-03-28T22:19:00.006+04:00

Great things come to those who wait.

Another cliche comment / remark that is often used when someone is complaining about their life or about what they want and are not getting. This is a typical thing I always say to people when I am their shoulder to cry on or ear to listen to.

What goes around comes around. God takes from you and gives you back in multiples.

How many times have we said these things but not really applied them to ourselves. How many times have we given advice to people that we don't follow ourselves. This is human nature.

When you least expect it, it falls into your lap.

Never before have I ever truly believed in this. Until recently. To be exact Saturday 20th of March and confirmed on Monday 22nd March 2010. This is a day I will cherish forever.

Dear You,

I now truly believe that I have been a good person in my life. I now truly believe in all those sayings that I often used to comfort others. I now truly believe that the time for my own happiness has come. I now truly believe that it is MY time. I have found myself in you. I have realised my aim in life and it is to be with you.

I am finally at peace. I am finally happy. Whether the end comes or not, I will still cherish every moment spent with you. You are my family, my life, my future and most importantly my present. I look forward to more days to come. I have walked away from my childhood home towards you. I just hope the destination is not too far away.

Yes, things are happening too fast. Yes, I am hesitant and not as adventurous as I believed I am. But I like it that way. The controls are not with me. For once, I am being led instead of leading and I cannot imagine having it any other way anymore. Yet, I am confident with every step of the way. Sure of every move.

I wake up with a smile on my face. I sleep with a smile on my face. Tears are foreign to me now. Sleepless nights are a thing of the past. It is time for a new beginning.

I belong to you. I belong WITH you. I want to announce to the world how I feel about you and that I am yours but since I cannot yet, this is my "scream from the rooftops".

Only yours,
M

For My King

He Got Married

2010-02-03T10:08:00.001+04:00

I thought I would be really upset if he ever did but I am not at all - in fact Im very happy for him since he wanted to get married a long time ago but I was "unacceptable" to his family because Im shee3iya.

Finally I took that step.

Dear Stranger

2009-10-08T22:30:00.002+04:00

Surprised?? That I am calling you a stranger?? Well what else should I call you?? The Love of My Life?? You are no longer. Unfortunately that is not the way that God wanted it. I may have completely removed you from my heart and my mind. But apparently my body still wants you back. Dont worry that will never happen. I would rather rip myself to shreds than even consider putting myself in that situation again.

You are now a stranger to me because the one I knew no longer exists. The one I knew would never have gone this far. Do I forgive you?? Yes I have forgiven you a looooong time ago. You know me, I am not one to hold grudges. Do I forget?? Never.

I am moving on. No scrap that, I HAVE moved on a long time ago. Why am I not in anything permanent?? Dont flatter yourself. I do not compare anyone to you. I guess I am just not willing to put any effort anymore. I am no longer interested in sharing my life with anyone or anything. I am no longer emotionally capable of trusting blindly such as I was with you. I am not even willing to give anyone a chance. Its my defense mechanism. I do it to protect myself. And I have you to thank for that. You made me the person I am today. Stronger, independant and cold. Very very cold.

I do not blame you. I blame myself for allowing the situation to go as far as I did. All the signs were there I just chose to ignore them. Everything I said I would never do, I did. Everything I said I wouldnt be, I have become.

This is the way God wanted it. And this is the way I will live my life. This doesnt mean that I will sit back cross-armed and not attempt to make my life a better life. No. I am working on it. Hard. Killing myself in fact physically, emotionally and mentally. But I have an aim in life. And I am going to acheive my aim. Including all the dreams I discussed with you. Except I will hold my head up high and proud because I would have done them all myself. Even if it means that you are not by my side. It is your loss not mine.

You are just a flicker of a memory in the back of my mind. I will not deny, I still cry over you sometimes. But mostly tears of joy for getting out of it before it was too late.

Good luck and I truly hope you are leading your life the way you intended.

P.S.

2009-09-27T15:30:00.002+04:00

I got a new haircut - well bangs basically.

Everyone thinks it looks good on me even though I wasnt really convinced until a week later.

Today people at work saw my new cut and positive reviews so far.

Boss walks in this morning and told me I look good.

Now he just passed by and called me a poodle. LOL

Update: I beleive the exact word he used was "kaneesh / kaniche"

And Life Moves On

2009-09-27T12:55:00.002+04:00

Awalan I would like to say Kil 3am wintu ib alf 9i7a oo salamah oo mbariken 3eedkum. Hope you all enjoyed the holidays. I must say that I did in fact enjoy my holiday very much.

Thursday was last working day and Friday morning I was all packed and already hitting the road to Dubai. I spent the entire holiday there (9 days). On average I was sleeping around 12 hours a day and spending the majority of my waking hours snuggling on the couch with a blanket and a cup of coffee watching whatever movie was currently playing on TV. By late evening, I would finally get bored and motivated enough by the harrassement of phone calls from friends asking me what the hell I was doing home all day when Im on holiday, I MIGHT by then consider doing something social. It usually consisted of either going out for sheesha or having friends over for a game of cards.

On an occasion when I had about 5 friends over, as usual the subject of my singledom was brought up. Apparently they all mutually know of 2 or 3 people that are interested in me but have reported back saying something either like "Shes very cold" or the most common "She isnt interested at all". So I gave in and agreed to go on a blind date with a friend's friend who was apparently perfect for me. He just proved how perfect he was when he propositioned me within 15 minutes of meeting. Needless to say I went straight home and dove into my position for the week.

I have never considered myself a pessimist nor the kind of person who looks at life negatively. But I am beginning to be this person. I guess life teaches you to be callous the hard way. In the past 2 years, I have only met one guy that I was remotely interested or attracted to. And he dissappointed me greatly. I guess Im just not physically nor emotionally prepared to go through the process of getting to know someone new.

I am now a strong beleiver in arranged marriages. From what Im seeing arund me, they are the only marriages that are truly working.

Swine Flu Statistics - Oman

According to this - apparently 928 cases identified in Oman of which 9 resulted in death.

It sounds about right doesnt it?? Thats less than 1% fatality rate.

Ramadhan Reflections

2009-08-26T11:05:00.002+04:00

I know I know

I have been neglecting my blog for a while for various different reasons - mainly its time constraints. I have been keeping myself really busy on the weekends. Mostly either going to Dubai or hosting friends in town. The last weekend before Ramadhan, I spent it on a one night getaway out of town but in Oman with my cousins. It was a nice change.

So much has happened and like every Ramadhan, whenever it comes, I actually stand back and reflect on the past year. For me Ramadhan to Ramadhan is actually more of a beginngin / end of year as opposed to December 31st.

This year when Ramadhan arrives I was completely unprepared and in fact a little taken aback since it came back so fast. 2009 in general has flown by for me (others will disagreee of course) but honestly I remember last Eid like it was this morning.

So looking back, I evaluate the changes that occurred in my life since last October. I must say that this period (October 08 to August 09) has been the most life altering phase of my life. I have moved jobs. I started my MBA. I lost people I cared about and more importantly I eliminated a lot of people that did me harm. All are decisions I do NOT regret at all as since October 08 I am actually a much better person.

I may not be surrounded by as many friends as I used to be like this time last year, but I always say its quality not quantity. I have worked to better my relationships with my family and better myself. I have always been able to sleep well at night knowing that I have not done anyone any harm, yet now I am occasionally having sleepless nights just worrying about some people and how THEY are feeling relating to the harm they have done me. Yet I always say "allah ma ya'6rub ib 3a9a" (God does not beat with a stick) and simply roll over and sleep.

I have never claimed nor will I ever claim to be a good muslim because I do admit that when it comes to following religion's guidelines, I am not one for discipline, YET I feel and Im confident that I am a good person. I always wonder how many times I have had almost REALLY bad things happen to me whether they are accidents or such then I realise that God must be rewarding me for the good that I am doing in some way or other. Kil wa7id y7a9il 3ala gad ily ysaweeh (Everybody gets the same amount back as they do).

I am happy with who I am. Whatever I do is between myself and God.

Recently got a quote from a friend that I LOVED

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"

Over and out

Another Mini Break

2009-08-04T22:43:00.001+04:00

I know its ridiculous how much I go to Dubai but I can't help it. Majority of my real friend live there. I have a great time every time I go whether I spent the weekend going out meeting new people of just chilling at home with friends, munchies and a good movie.

So why is it that every time I say I'm going to Dubai lately I get the raised eyebrows from people or the "again!!!!!!!" comments. I really don't get it? Why are some people so bothered about my frequent weekends away? Am I bothering anyone?

And now the latest trend I'm getting is the "who's the guy" barrage of questions. Seriously? You think I go to Dubai every other weekend for a guy? He wishes! In fact if anyone knows me well enough they will know that if there WAS a guy I would never go. Its enough that the guys already have big heads la ba3ad akabirla raseh bizyada atna6a6 kil isbu3 oo tark laih 3indeh?!?! Noooo ssiiiirrrreeeeeee.

I go to have fun and get away from the trash I'm surrounded by here in Muscat. Why can't people just smile and tell me to have a good time?

Took a Break

2009-07-12T22:41:00.002+04:00

Why hello there everyone. I know you havent missed me really but I will just pretend that you did and that I am back by popular demand. LOOOOL

I took some much needed time off and left town for an original 7 days that extended to 11 days. LOL. Since it was pretty much last minute and I could not plan exact departure and arrival dates due to the house and work situations (Im choosing to neglect the studies part of it which is the main culprit), I was not able to go anywhere to far.

So when 3aneeda has a few days off where does she go??

Yep you got it right. I went to Dubai. Took the weekend as super relaxing with lots of pool lounging and swimming and the heavy stuff started on Friday July 3rd (coincidentally my 29th birthday - LOOOOL).

My friend checked me out of the hotel at the end of the first weekend and moved me into her place. That was probably the best thing she could have done. The holiday then converted into a mega girly break with lots of chilling out, TV and cooking and entertaining of friends. Especially since another friend of ours moved into the house with us.

This was a break I really truly needed. I met some new people that I know will remain in my life for a while. I also had some enlightenment towards those I used to call friends. Overall I came back relaxed with a huge load shifted off my shoulders, a spring in my step and a smile on my face.

To more enlightening breaks *click*

I Really Dont Know

2009-06-27T18:52:00.002+04:00

Everyone has been asking me what I want for my birthday!!! I have never told anyone I want something specific for my birthday except for my sister. Shes the only one where she doesnt have a roof on her budget and neither do I.

For some reason we always exchange gifts end of July beginning of August which falls exactly in the middle of both our birthdays. Last year she got me the Swarovski / Phillips USB and I V-Kooled her car.

This year "Christmas" came early since shes out of town already and Im leaving in a few days inshallah. The presents this year were her allowing me to take her car to Dubai for my trip next week and her present was me paying for her car service. I think she liked the deal cos it means she doesnt have to worry about what Messrs. Rip Off Al Zawawi will make her pay straight after a 6 week holiday. Even Dad is predicting her coming back broke LOL.

But see with everyone else, I really dont care about the value of the present or even its existance. Honestly speaking I would rather not get anything than getting a bottle of perfume. I find them soooo impersonal and actually quite insulting. Even things like bathroom stuff and Body Shop packages and these things. These are a definite NO-NO for me.

I even used to think Gift Vouchers were insulting until I realised that getting someone a GV means they get to buy something they like. So I changed my mind about them. But people asking me whats on my wishlist!!! NOO WAY. I will never reveal. I have so many things on my wishlist mainly consisting of designer handbags so since I definetly will NOT expect those from anyone, whats the point.

There are also some other things I need - i.e. a replacement for my sunglasses that I lost in my last Dubai trip. But these things are tricky. I mean what if someone buys me a pair of sunglasses that I end up hating ON ME but loving on the shelf!!! I need a keychain for my car keys but my car keys are funny and I have a few keychains that do not fit my car key.

What is the ideal Birthday Wish List?? And how can you avoid wasted gifts??

Myself - In 10

2009-06-25T00:14:00.003+04:00

Remember how I said I was gonna do this Thing in 10 posts. Ive done 2 already one about my mom which apparently was a HUGE hit. LOL. The other one was about how I look. Well tonight I was out to dinner with some friends and this discussion came up and basically I felt like I was being scrutinised and it turns out that Im a much more open book that I thought / would have liked to be

Basically the main things that came up are:

1. I cannot hide emotions. This I knew since I have been told enough times by people that whatever I feel is semi-written on my forehead. But I didnt realise that I do things involuntarily like giggle in a specific way when I have something dirty going through my head or press in between my eyebrows when Im trying to come up with an excuse or a lie. Damn Ive been busted.

2. I am too caring and considerate. And the specific words used were "your too nice for ur own good" - apparently I have been walked all over without noticing and I was given examples as well.

3. If I begin to say something, i HAVE to finish it even it it comes later. Guess this comes from the "women speak 60K words per day" thing. LOL

4. I am always to be trusted when it comes to ordering food. This is strange because usually Im the one that eats weird stuff that nobody likes such as pineapple on pizza. Etc

5. When I am not motivated, it really shows by my body posture. Hhhhmm wonder how they came up with that.

6. I am easily excited. LOL. what can I say, a kid at heart

7. I am not a typical girl - yeah yeah yeah heard it all before. I swear if another person says that I am "wa7id min ilshabab" i will punch them in the face.

8. If I wanted to and I really beleived it, I can convince people that the sky is red. But only if I beleived it myself. I am very VERY 3aneeda.

9. When I try to lie, there is a red lightbulb that flashed over my head. Im THAT bad.

10. And what really really shocked me. My friends think I hold a grudge. This I argued with them forever. Finally I think they accepted that i do NOT in fact hold grudges against people, I forgive very easily BUT I never forget. Fooled me once, shame on you, fooled me twice shame on me.

It was an enlightening sitdown. We went around analysing every single person who was at dinner and it was interesting. How on some points we all agreed on something but the person would not beleive / accept it.

Now Im curious to know, what do you guys as bloggers that do not know me personally or have interacted with me personally think of me?? I would be curious to know.

Please do share in your comments - if you want

Sh9ayer??

2009-06-24T16:52:00.004+04:00

I noticed lately ineh ako wayid nas are getting very worked up about other blogs and the contents of these blogs. Lately i fell across two worrying blogs both with content warnings which is the first indication of danger.

One is what appears to be this Israeli girl who lives in India who basically fucks about and numbers the guys. Fair enough if shes a nympho and wants to flaunt it fine, but please we dont wanna see pics. And those pics are nasty especially the fact that she doesnt "maintain" if you know what i mean girls. LOL

The other one which I think is causing a bigger riot purely for being a girl from our region has caught a lot of attention lately I noticed. Other blogs are writing whole posts about her and discussing her very openly. I saw her blog and honestly speaking I just think she has a split personality.

Anyways, my point is whats the big fuss about?? So this one likes to document her sexcapades, and the other one has imaginary ones. Whenever I see an update from them (and yes I confess I follow them both) i just read, rant and scream silently in my head and close the window. Maleh da3y abadan the public cursing and swearing and calling of names.

I guess its a question to those that DO leave nasty comments and such. Why do you do it??

UPDATE: And another one bites the dust - Liberal Khaleejiya deletes her blog

Useless Day

2009-06-07T15:31:00.001+04:00

Today was completely wasted - I did absolutely nothing at work. I'm feeling guilty maybe I should just tell them to deduct a day from my annual leave or something.

Instead I spent the whole day searching for properties in Dubai. Planning on celebrating my birthday there early next month cos I can't travel anywhere further. Looking for a weekly rental of a villa with a private pool. I will be going with family and close friends so we really wanna go all out.

So far I found a 4 bedroom apartment in JBR for 4900 dirhams - not bad at all. Works out to be about 200 dirhams per night per room. That is truly a bargain.

I can't believe I will be turning 29 in 26 days. I don't feel like I'm 29. I've recently been having the "when did u panic" conversation and most said the 25 or 26 range. I still haven't panicked.

Am I normal?

What I Look Like - in 10

2009-05-04T10:46:00.004+04:00

1. Im tall - 5 foot 5 inches - not considered tall for most but tall for Omani standards
2. Im big and bootyful - LOL - Im confident about the way I look - who doesnt like the way I look can bang their head on the wall. I gym in order to maintain and move.
3. I have naturally very curly hair - I used to always dry it straight in the winter but its summer now and Im curling it always
4. My hair has usually never gone shorter than shoulder length until about last October when I decided to do the Victoria Beckham cut - the short at the back and longer at the front. It was quite gutsy of me since Im the kind of person that always plays it safe. Everyne said it looked great on me but I wouldnt do it again cos its SOOO high maintenance
5. Im naturally tanned - Actually I lie - When I lived in the UK and was not exposed to sun for 4 years almost I went back to my original colour which is a yucky pale yellowish 7in6awy - but im ALWAYS in the sun and therefore always tanned to a certain extent
6. People always tell me that my most prominant feature is my eyes - they are big and doe-like - plus I tanna7 easily so it always looks like Im putting on a puppy face
7. I will never be caught dead in a dress - unless Im attending a wedding. Im trying to break out of that habit and have bought a few casual dresses. All but one still hang in my closet still with the tags on.
8. I LOOVE to dance
9. My favourite food is sushi
10. Im like a baby - it takes me forever to get into the water but once Im inside you can never get me out. I still had tan lines of one summer holiday upto 4 years later. LOOOL

A Confused Post

2009-05-01T13:59:00.003+04:00

Well hello there everyone - is it just my blog that has gone suddenly dead wila is it everywhere?? Cos i see people commenting everywhere lakin ma7ad ga3 yzoorny?? laish?? Z3alt tara. LOOOL

Anyways wayid ashya 9arat

First things first - saweet taqleed lal habba ily 6al3at inspired by In My Closet lakin ma7ad 3abarny - ya3ny i think only 3 people tried guessing what I looked like.

My Dubai trip was AMAZING as usual - I met up with Jooja (my bestie) and we had an amazing weekend. Saweena the typically touristy things ri7na ilaquarium mal Atlantis oo we checked out the Address and Souq il Ba7ar oo the dancing fountain oo Dubai Mall oo chee. We had a great time. I was planning on extending but unfortunately - very a la Dubai - I had to have some kind of medical emergency on my last day there. This time is was my tooth. Counting from the back the first and 3rd teeth are the ones I had the root canals on a while ago. So the tooth in the middle (number 2) apparently according to the dentist was distressed and the 3irj died. Thus causing an infection UNDER the tooth and causing my face to blow up like in the cartoons.

Last Sunday everything was sorted immediately and I was given some very strong anti-biotics that resulted in a 5 day sick leave for me. Man those meds were strong. I was warned by the doctor about them but I didnt think it would be that bad. They knocked me out. I was sleeping on average 16 hours a day. I have not been to the gym since I got back from Dubai. The one day I attempted to go to work which was Tuesday I sauntered in at 11 am cos I just couldnt wake up. I was home by 415 and fi sabi3 nouma by 430. Thank god today is the last day for the meds and I go back to normal. The swelling is almost completely gone - my cheek is back to normal but I have a tiny bump on my jaw from the inside. It doesnt show and it doesnt hurt anymore.

Im already planning my next Dubai trip but I have informed all involved that this time it will be purely a beachy weekend. I wanna swim swim swim and swim the whole weekend. No malls - nothing indoors - no closed up spaces. I just want the beach.

Summer is here with a bang

Off For A Quick Weekend

2009-04-23T01:33:00.002+04:00

. . . yep you guessed it right - off to Dubai for a quick weekend. Meeting up with my bestie and some friends are joining us from the land of the Q and 8 (those who are sane would probably know this as Kuwait) - hahahahahah

Yep so see you next week.

BUUUUUT you have a task - im leaving you with a tiny over the weekend homework

Im stealing ideas from all those girlies out there but true credit goes to IN MY CLOSET since shes the one that started it off and everyone else (including me) are copying her

SOOOOOOOO HERE GOES

What do you guys think I look like??

A New Beginning - On Hold

2009-04-17T23:04:00.003+04:00

Hello everyone

As you probably know the story I was writing was "based on a true story" at the beginning with some changes in locations and events, since the real story is sooo very boring. Anyways half way through the story I decided to make it completely fictional cos the real life events were . . . well basically again boring. That happened around "Round Nine".

Anyways I just wanted to apologize because real life events take over fictional events. I am very uninspired to write at the moment. Based on a mutual understanding and accepting societal differences and such old age bull crap, "Khalifa" is no longer a part of my life. It might be temporary but I feel it is permanent. One has to think with their head as opposed to their heart.

Therefore, I promise, when I come back I will come back with a few parts in one go or perhaps one REALLY long part.

Meanwhile, I hope you enjoyed whatever was there and I hope to have ur constant support.

Lots of love and kisses
3aneeda

Yallah go 3ashan i wanna see how far off - also give me suggestions as comments here or on the last part about who you want it to be - im open to improvising in the story.

Asshole of the Month - April 2009

2009-04-10T22:17:00.004+04:00

LOOOOOOOOOOL - I actually completely forgot about this award but I got reminded about it gabl shwaya cos it appears somebody actually WANTS it. Check this out

Wallah its a Friday and I hate Fridays and I was so bored - i was considering going to the movies until i was just chatting to a friend who told me that Fast & Furious is fully sold out for the whole weekend. Guess I will have to wait for a weekday or something. So Im sitting in bed cham I get that MSN pop up on the right bottom corner that informs me that I received an email from 3anooda. oo ana 9ir chee ------> o_O ?????

Hhhhmmmm last I check I was 3anooda so i didnt send any emails to myself. Anyways 6anasht and then I was just checking my blogger wila I have a new comment for moderation on the original Asshole of the Month post - Uullaaaa people are still commenting on old posts - ok - so I open the comment and it says its from 3anooda - so I think wanasa someone has the same nickname as me - until I saw this. LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

April Asshole of the Month

3anooda (the fake)

To my impersonator,

Did you NOT see the disclosure that says that I moderate comments?? Ah in that case ur a fucking idiot. But still I would like to thank you for giving me something to laugh about and do on a Friday boring afternoon.

Also, I will be publishing the comment just cos Im not the type that will hide any incoming comments - Im all for freedom of speech and if you wanted to voice something out, even if you were trying inti7al sha59iya, 3ady i have no problem oo i am not going to stand in your way.

Lakin mumkin as2al so2al?? ya3ny do you really think people are so stupid that they will beleive that I would write a comment like that?? Also I dont know what will come up when I click the name of the commentor but Im pretty sure my blog details will not come up. Lets see how good you are.

PS. I think whatever hate and anger you have you need to let it all out - wallah this will not do you any good - actually the only good it will do you is that now you know that other people are enjoying some good laughs at your expense.

A New Beginning

Looooool - funny

2009-04-05T11:59:00.001+04:00

The doctor, after an examination, sighed and said, 'I've got some bad news. You have cancer, and you'd best put your affairs in order.'

The woman was shocked, but managed to compose herself and walk into the waiting room where her daughter had been waiting.

'Well, daughter, we women celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don't go so well. In this case, things aren't well. I have cancer.. So, let's head to the club and have a martini.'

After 3 or 4 martinis, the two were feeling a little less sombre. There were some laughs and more martinis. They were eventually approached by some of the woman's    old friends, who were curious as to what the two were celebrating.

The woman told her friends they were drinking to her impending end, 'I've been diagnosed with AIDS.'

The friends were aghast, gave the woman their condolences and beat a hasty retreat.

After the friends left, the woman's daughter leaned over and whispered, 'Momma, I thought you said you were dying of cancer, and you just told your friends you were dying of AIDS! Why did you do that??'

'Because I don't want any of those bitches sleeping with your father after I'm gone.'

And THAT, my friends, is what is called, 'Putting Your Affairs In Order'

Ali Mehdi - A Recital

2009-03-31T20:33:00.003+04:00

A dear friend - someone I grew up with - passed away last June and I wrote about it here. Despite his long term illness, he was very active in the community whether it came to social work, charity or any other kind of activity that brought a smile to people's faces.

He was also a writer. A poet with 3 published books.

There will a recital happening - I heard about it on the Oman Community blog here and thought I would do my part in spreading the news.

I Would Like to Thank . . . .

My trip was cut 2 days short. It did not go as planned. I had a 6 hour road trip back home alone last night and with a really bad flu.

Today the flu is worse and I feel like I have mucus in my brain. There is so much pressure in my head I just wanna drill and let it out.

Everytime I blow my nose, the pain gets worse. I literally feel like my eyes are popping out.

Oh yeah and icing on the cake, I got a fever too.

Amoot oo aftak moo a7san???

Looking At Life Through Rose Tinted Glasses

2009-03-16T10:35:00.003+04:00

Inzain daraina ina feeh habbat love stories oo chee. Its nice. We like to escape occasionally into a green field with little white flowers wearing a white sundress and curly long hair flowing in the light breeze with a huge smile on our faces and we are running towards our knight in shining armour in his khaki pants and white linen shirt with buttons open to his waist showing off his perfect 6 pack and blah blah blah. I guess you got the picture.

But i wanna see some more realistic stories. Such as Tigerlilly's story about the Kuwaity drug dealer / drug addict. I still havent come across another more realistic story.

I was discussing this with a good friend earlier today where she said she is only interested in happy ending stories.

La ana maby. Aby achoof salfat ily 5e6ab wa7da bint rfeejat umah laneh shes cute and has grey eyes. Oo ba3d il3rs wila honeymoon yridoon ildeera wehwa 24/7 either fil dawam wila wiya ilshabab. yrid ilbait min ildawam yuba il'3ada jahiz. Itha ma 3ajbah il akil yzifha. oo ba3ad 6 months ygooleha howa msafir Thailand wiya ilshabab. B3ad sintain 3indeh girlfriend libnaniya wila ma'3ribiya wa7da cool oo free. Ba3ad 5ams sneen yitzawaj 3alaiha bil sir oo she finds out laman wa7da 7aqda ityee tgooleha "ooohhh sema3t murt raylich / kanitich 7amil - wayid 7alyana mashallah 3alaiha". g6ee3a nas ma yista7oon.

Ooo aba achoof wa7da tiktib story mal wa7da oo wa7id m9a7been 9arli7um 3ashr sneen oo tezawijaw oo lama heya 7malat oo matnat 9ar ma y6eeg shakilha oo 6alagha ba3ad ilwilada 3ala 6ool.

Oo ilhabba ilyideeda mal yaz3am reyayeel yitzawajoon wa7da '3aniya (mabda2 sakany tejari) 3ashan ehwa ydawim 3ala ra7teh fi sharikat ubooha oo ehya ta9rif 3alaih.

Oo sowalif wa7da ba3ad ma titzawaj she finds out ineh hes a drug addict / player / sex freak / doesnt ever shower / eats his nose pickings / was born a woman / getting a little too Jerry Springer arent we?? Bas come on. This stuff happens.

Oh yeah I just remembered one of the story blogs ily she married a guy ily gam yid5al ilbait sakran jayib wiyah wa7da oo ygoom yadri6ha min il7ijra to get it on. Oo laman ta6lib il6alag oo y6aligha trid bait ubooha oo being labelled as a divorced woman ubooha miftishil oo y3amilha zbala which pushes her into the arms of the wrong man who rapes her. THIS IS REALITY PEOPLE.

I always say the following:
1. I would rather be a divorced woman and be labelled as a divorced woman (since its such a shameful label) than be the women ily rayilha y3amilha chanha ilbishkara wila y5oonha yameen oo yasar jidam il3alam wil 5alg
2. I would rather be a 3anis (I LOVE THIS WORD) if it means I have control over my own life and actions and I do not have to be the obediant wife to an asshole who reports to Mommy about his wife's sexual acts (true story - i have a friend whos ex-husband was asking Mommy for advice about his sex life)
3. I would rather be given any label on this earth if it means ineh '6ameery 9afy oo adri iny ma athait 7ad oo ma '3ala6t fee 7ag a7ad

Do people not know mabda2 il zawaj nu9 ileeman?? Ma sema3tu "ilrayil ma ykamil deenah ila ba3ad ilzawaj"?? ay ykamil ay ba6ee5?? ma achoof ana ila ilbalaway.

Do I want to get married?? HELL YEAH.
What are the reasons?? I want kids bil7alal. FULLSTOP.

The only man I trust in this world is my father. I would love to have a fairy tale ending same as any girl with blood running through her veins. But I still always beleive that ilrayyal ma mineh 2aman. His loyalties will always lie with their own flesh and blood. And for some reason they do not beleive that when you marry a woman she becomes your flesh and blood. Mako al7een rayyal y9oon murteh. La2 ma achoof ana ila the woman becomes a punching bag to be blamed for everything under the sun.

I beleive that is why God made women stronger. Qudrat ilta7amul 3indhum akbar. Thats why women are the ones that get pregnant. Have period pains. Go through labour. And the men faint in the delivery rooms. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Inshallah I find that one person that God made perfectly right for me. Inshallah. Maybe I already found him and he slipped away. I am not delusional. There is no perfect man / woman. But there IS the perfect man / woman for everyone.

Just realised this was basically just my thoughts and I dont know what the hell I am aiming at. Sorry guys - this is who I am. Live with it wila click on the little red cross on the corner of the screen.

I have a lot of love to give, I just havent found the person that I feel I can give it to. I have realised that when in love people tend to ignore the bad points and only see the good things. Then there is a point where one bad thing will make you forget ALL the good things. Its a bad trait but I beleive this is a HUGE indication.

When a girl suddenly sees the guy in a different light, that means that she has snapped out of the bubble she was living in. I admire all strong women who have the courage to admit that they made a mistake and its better to be labelled than to go through with it. I beleive its a bigger mistake to carry on then admit defeat and walk away. I know some people might see it as cowardly but i do not. Bil3aks I beleive this is the brave thing to do. Sticking with a bad marriage and using the kids as an excuse is not the right thing to do. How do you think the kids will grow up and view life seeing their disfunctional parents in their daily life. So if there are no kids GET THE FUCK OUT.

I guess I am going through this emotional turmoil since there are a lot of VERY strong women around me these days that are going through marriage related crisises (is that the right word??). Ilmuhim - these women got the point of considering divorce. I always vote for divorce. ALWAYS.

I look at my past relationships and I realise that the one true love (or so i thought) that I had, I look at him now with complete i7tiqar and disrespect. I always think to myself "what the hell was i doing with him - this is someone i almost married!!!!". Even though the duration of our relationship was complete bliss but you really dont know someone until you live with them. Im glad I found out what they really are like BEFORE living with them. God - I think allah salamany min hal mu9eeba that almost happened.

Yes I am in a relationship right now but this time and for the first time in my life, I am going through the relationship thinking with my head and NOT with my emotions. So far so good. I am grown up and mature enough to accept my decisions and accept the consequences.

I am proud of who I am. I am proud of the woman i have become. I am proud of the way my parents raised me. Even though that the majority of my life I always beleived my parents should divorce. They made the difficult decision to stick together for the kids. Yet I am proud of who they are and what they have made of us.

I am the youngest of four children and I am also the last in our household to acheive the masters. Can you imagine how intimidating it is for anyone?? I have heard it with my own ears how women tell my mother that her daughters are over-educated which is why their sons that might be interested are backing off.

I just think of these men as cowards. Not that I am interested in any of them but the whole concept behind it. Instead of marrying into a good educated family and being proud that either me or my sister accepted them, they run away. I know it might sound big headed but I dont care. This is truly how I feel.

I can go on forever but I think I will stop here. Maybe continue in another post in a few days. Lets see how it goes.

Asshole of the Month

2009-03-10T20:23:00.006+04:00

A follow-up to my previous post regarding looser people who have nothing better to do here, I am still in the process of considering whether I should go private or not. Pretty much I have decided that I will NOT be going private anymore. Im still gonna give it until the end of the week and see how I feel about it and if I do go private it will be for myself.

A special thanks goes to my regular readers - I honestly didnt think I had that many. Love you all.

I have decided that I will be launching a monthly prize for asshole of the month. Of course, needless to say, these assholes are almost always anonymous since they are too chicken shit to show their faces. So starting this month, I will be announcing the Asshole of the Month prize with a breif description. Here goes.

___________________________________________________________________

Asshole of the Month: March 2009

XXXX

See I have a chatbox that I almost always forget about thats why there is not much activity there. In most cases, I reply to people at least a few days late. So yesterday it caught my attention as I had some recent activity. (Pictured above). This is how the "conversation" went.

10 Mar 09, 03:21

XXXX: I don't like u

10 Mar 09, 03:40

XXXX: FYI your life is no rollercoaster. wala 7ata sham ree7at Mara7 Land. Your life is super regular.. just like plain yogurt. if not more bland. =) (hhmmm took you a whole extra 19 minutes to come up with that one???)

10 Mar 09, 15:00

3anooda: XXXX - LOOOL nice to know - respect ur opinions hahahaha dont like me i dont think im loosing much

10 Mar 09, 16:44

XXXX: okay =) fine by me too! and it's *losing fyi (im flattered that you responded less than 2 hours after my reply - looks like ur a regular on my blog)

Now the question is LAISH?? shistifad this person from this conversation exactly?? That is why I am awarding the title of Asshole of the Month to this person. Cos they obviously had too much time on their hands are trying to show off a little muscle. So XXXX, now you can boast about having a post dedicated to you. Thank you for revisiting my blog.

PS. Mara7 Land is a lame ass amusement park thing we have here in Oman mainly for kids

A Message to Fucked Up People

2009-03-09T09:58:00.006+04:00

Dear Assholes,

Yes, feel proud that there is a post dedicated to you. Yes you have managed to stir me up and make me speak out my mind write about you. But your joy is not to be long lived.

I just want to bring your pea-headed brains to send a message to your eyes to get them to open up and see around you. You might be living a sheltered life or pretending to people around you that you are living a sheltered life. Or perhaps you just want to give people the impression that your holier than thou exterior is who you truly are but darlings, we aint fools. We see right through you.

Back on track, open up your eyes and look at society for what it truly is. Just because you might not do drugs, drink, smoke or have sex doesnt mean that others dont. Actually I bet most of you do all or some of those things but under cover. If not consistantly then you have at least at some point in time. So stop being the fucking hypocrites that you are and leave people alone. Just like nobody said anything to you because they had the decency to leave you alone since you were not hurting them, you should also have the decency to leave people alone since they are not hurting you either.

So for those assholes that attacked bloggers like Jara7, love;**, starr;** and other creative bloggers that are using this place as a means of release for their creative juices, get the fuck out. Yes you know who you are. And I know that I will get a barrage of assaults from you guys pretty soon, that is IF you have the balls to say anything to me. But I am ready for you.

Throughout my life, experiences and travels, I have been subjected to a plethora of useless characters such as yourselves. The similiarities between you and human beings is purely coincidental. God have places characters such as yourselves to test other people and perhaps I have miserably failed this test, I am ra'6ya ib who I am and I am happy. I sleep very well at night knowing that I did not hurt anybody intentionally. Therefore I am a good person.

People WAKE THE FUCK UP. We live in a very hypocritical arab / 5aleeji society that basically thrives on putting everyone around them down just so that they APPEAR to rise above everyone else. Stressing on the APPEAR cos you fuckers arent fooling everyone. People might seem like they are laughing with you but in true effect they are laughing behind your back. AT YOU.

For your information, the nicest, most sincere and genuine people I have met be them Kuwaities, Saudies, Qataries, Emaraties, etc are all what you assholes would call fasqeen or other such derogatory terms. Kil wa7id 7isabeh wiya rabeh oo intu ma bit7a9loon any kind of gate pass to ilJanna if you speak badly about these people. Cos honestly what I would call fasqeen are those mua7ajabat who wear tighter than skin clothes oo yama ta7t il sawahy dawahy.

Do not misunderstand, I am not excluding my own people from this bil3aks. These are ahal balady and I know them more than anyone. Five years ago a girl would get harrassed if she was walking in a mall wearing jeans and a top (i.e. what fuckers usually refer to as "free girls"). Now the girls that get harrassed are those that wear shaila and 3abaya. Do you know why?? I will leave u with that thought.

Actually you know what?? You pea-brains cannot fathom the concept of thinking therefore I will give it you straight up. And my source are the men of these society. The ones that have and continue to try and test this theory.

The guys will NOT get anything from the "free" girls.
The guys will get quickies and BJs and "rear-end sex" (because the girl does not want to loose her virginity) from the shaila 3abaya girls.

I know I know before anyone goes into a rant about generalising, I am not - there are girls that completely respect the 7ijab and completely respect other people for their choices and those are the kinds of people that i befriend. Yes i am what you will call a "free girl" but trust me, and i know this because of what people tell me, i am described as much better than half the mu7ajababes in this society.

I beg of you morons that can barely read words that are more than 3 syllables wrong. Keep that mind open. People write stories. They are fiction. Check out the definition of fiction on wikipedia or any other "reliable" source that you see fit.

The funny thing is that for some reason, you idiots will attack your own people for being honest, creative, gutsy about talking about a tabooed topic or anything that you consider "not yourselves" but would go trottling off to Amrika oo Landan every chance you get cos you think its cool!!!!

Grow up - yes I know you will say ana fa'6ya for writing all this and whatever. Well sometimes I feel I need to make time to bring your attention to some things. Even though I know for a fact that it will go straight over your heads.

Over and out,
3aneeda

P.S. If you got insulted by this message that means you are someone who was described here. If you didnt then "you safe ma peepo"

Kil wa7id y3arif nafseh

P.P.S. Im going private - send me your emails if you want to continue with my journey

I need Advice

2009-03-03T16:32:00.004+04:00

Ok guys I put up a poll cos this is an issue that has been on my mind a lot lately. I have asked friends but im getting very mixed emotions.

Basically I am seeing someone. Everything is going fine - distance is an issue but were ok about that.

Recently I got a marriage proposal. One of those random family set up things. His mom contacted my aunt and apparently he saw me in a wedding and asked about me blah blah blah. Except that is not the story at all.

Now the family is putting pressure on me to accept and I am refusing. When they mentioned the name and they saw my reaction, they are now insisting that I give them a reason. I cannot tell them what the reason is since it involves another family friend and basically this guy was her bf for a long time and as far as I know she still loves him.

I have this policy that basically the people off limits are an ex's friends and a friend's exes.

Anyways so my current beau, despite the fact that I am very attached to him is not the reason I am rejecting this person. If it was someone else, I would have considered it.

So this is not the first proposal I got this way but this is the first time that I am getting A LOT of pressure to accept. Usually by this time, the issue would have been over and not mentioned again and everything gone back to normal. Now Im getting the whole "you are 28 oo bit3ansy" speeches.

Should I tell the beau about this issue?? Please comment with your opinions and elaborate your points. I really need to see different sides of the issue that I may be missing. Generally what I have gotten from my friends is basically the single ones in my age group say no dont tell and the younger age group and the married friends are telling me that I should.

Yes because we are supposed to be sharing everything and he should know that something this big is happening in my life

No because I dont want him to think its one of those games that girls play to put pressure on them to propose to them (7arakat ga3da agoolik 3ashan min sibaq libaq)

Seeking Criticism

2009-02-01T12:09:00.002+04:00

Ok guys I want honest opinions. What do you think of my story? Are you finding it scandolous / unsuitable for our culture oo tarbiya?

Like I said before the story is semi-autobiographical. The characters are based on real characters lakin the events are not necessarily real.

I guess I'm not getting the responses I expected so I'm sort of in shcik. Twaqa3t malyom comment oo ta3leeqat oo constructive criticism. That's what I'm looking for? I wanna know how everyone expects the story to go because it gives me ideas for the next parts. Oo i lost one follower oo za3lana laish mafi 7ad yitsabag ykoon first comment 3ala bloggy. :(

Awalan Happy New Year Everyone - 3asa istanastu oo inshallah alfain oo tis3a itkoon sina a7san min ili gabilha

So I have been tagged - basically the ten honest things tag so here goes:

1. I cannot take compliments - ma3arf shagool when I get a compliment oo theech ilsa3a the simple "Thank You" always skips my mind. Usually I just do the fake "wee I'm blushing" thing and start a new sentence with "anyways what were we saying?"

2. Yes I have the typical girlie shopping obsession but I actually enjoy shopping for guys stuff and bedsheets. My best shopping trips were when my bro was going through a wardrobe style change. Gave up some nice designer bags to get him his Abercrombie shit.

3. I pay attention to details too muuch. Wala shay yfootni. I don't like that. Wayid za7ma fi rasi I need a break.

4. I am waaaaayy too trusting. I put blind trust in people whether male or female if they are friends and purely for the reason that they are my friends. But the moment a guy informs me that he is interested in me romantically I automatically loose all trust for him. I'm a freak I know.

5. I dream in parts. Like a musalsal. Ilyoum il7alqa ilowla bacher ilthania oo so on. And with too much detail its scary. Like details like what pattern was on the towel and what pple were wearin. Of course ilkil 3ala I'll mowtha. Loooool.

6. I used to read Mizz magazines and Just Seventeen religiously. Way past my 17th birthday. Loooool how embarrassing. Also I have read every single Jackie Collins novel before the age of 14 that my teacher had to complain to my parents that I was reading books waaay above my age.

7. For some reason I can't sleep on my bed without kadsat thyab 3ala ilsareer. Law the bed fathy ma anam mirta7a.

8. I give off the impression that I am a very confident person but I actually am a huge wimp that lacks confidence. I am anti-feminist and I'm looking for my knight in shining armour that will make me useless and redundant while he does everything for me. I do not like being Miss Independant. I wanna be the Queen of my House. I do not work cos I need it but because I enjoy it. Despite the whole career woman bullshit I will quit my job the moment I have a baby.

9. I have only had one relationship that I consider serious and it lasted from the age of 13 til 21. The others were disasterous souffles. Yet I don't regret anything I just regret lost trust.

10. I have never used a phone other than Nokia phones. I'm very anti anything non Nokia. I'm especially anti-Sony Ericsson yet during my last change I considered the BB or the iPhone. As you see the BB won.

Won't be tagging anyone cos it seems everyone was tagged already. Loool

What's with the breakout on my face ba3ad? Sh9ayer?!?! Three days ago I got compliments from four people about how my face cleared up and now it looks like I got hit by tiny gun pellets.

And no I'm not PMSing. I'm just angry with the world.

For fun I will be attaching a pic as well. Two birds one stone laaa.

So please comment and let me know how successful I was.

Updated - My Blackberry Bold

2008-12-17T21:18:00.004+04:00

Yep you got that right - I got the Blackberry bug. Quite a Bold one as well. Teehheehhee.

Update: I was having trouble shifting my almost 600 contacts from my old Nokia to the blackberry. My Omani simcard would not shift anything funny it would only take the clean ones. The old simcards would shift everything and split them up. Funnily enough I used my Etisalat simcard and it worked. It even carried ALL the contacts in one go. I expected I had to do a few trips since last time I check the simcard only carried 200 contacts. I synchronised everything on Outlook and Im in the slow process of cleaning up all my contacts. Bit by bit. Then finally I will have my dream clean tidy and complete address book.

Im getting used to it and Im loving it so far.

Fastidious Babe: I need your advice. How can i get blogger on my BBB?? I keep getting server busy. But only for blogger. Everything else is fine!!!

19 days to the 19th

2008-12-16T20:56:00.004+04:00

Im not really a fan of football but when it comes to the gulf cup im suddenly a hard core fan. In the 17th cup when Oman lost in the finals to Qatar in penalties, I cried. In the 18th, I didnt even bother getting worked up cos I knew the Emaraties were going to be buying the cup (no offence to anyone I swear). So besides being the best team in the GCC, I am depending on the trend of the host country being the winner of the cup and since we are hosting it then the cup is Omani inshallah.

Another reason Im excited is the fact that Oman will have 7araka. Ive already spoken to some of my Khaleeji friends and whether they will be coming over to attend any of the games. The girls are coming for fun but the boys will come for the games I guess. But with the great weather and all the 7arakat that people like doing during football games, there will be a really nice atmosphere in town. Cant wait. 19 days to go.

So round one will be as follows and then depending on the winners it will move into the semi-finals. My prediction is Oman will beat Saudi in the finals. 2-1.

4th Jan--- Oman vs Kuwait -----Group A
4th Jan--- Iraq vs Bahrain ------group A
----------------------------------------------------
5th Jan--- Yemen vs U.A.E ------group B
5th Jan--- Qatar vs K.S.A group B
----------------------------------------------------
7th Jan--- Oman vs Iraq group A
7th Jan--- Kuwait vs Bahrain group A
----------------------------------------------------
8th Jan--- U.A.E vs Qatar group B
8th Jan--- K.S.A vs Yemen group B
----------------------------------------------------
10th Jan- Bahrain vs Oman group A
10th Jan- Iraq vs Kuwait group A
----------------------------------------------------
11th Jan- U.A.E vs K.S.A group B
11th Jan- Yemen vs Qatar group B

Had a great time - this time it was really special. I think I may have met someone. Not sure yet. Hes a friend's friend and our mutual friend came over to me at some point in the evening telling me that hes been watching me and he can tell I liked him and also that he is a really good guy.

I didnt know what that meant??

Then X's best friend asked me to "take care of X". Seriously what does that mean?? Do all the boys know something I dont??

Have you ever passed by a cheap bar or gone into one of those restaurants with Karoake or even one of those places that have bands. The kind of bands that stay for a month and leave?? Well we have a few of these places here in Oman. The bands are usually Philipino or in some places its just one Philipino chick that is singing yaz3am for entertainment.

Did you notice how limited their selection of songs are?? What is it with the obsession with some old classic balads usually by Job Secada (remember him) and Bryan Adams oo min hay il dagat??

" Aayy jus qaaalll too saayyy i laaab uuu"

Thank you - never expected such a low blow from you.

I tried to give u the benefit of the doubt - but basically what happened is I was lying to myself and convincing myself that you are a better person.

Now I realise the only person i was fooling is myself.

You really managed this time - you kicked me so hard, u literally blew the wind out of me. I was speechless and breathless.

When I was younger I always wondered why Quality Street never made a box of one of the kids and a full box of it or a big one. I found this the other day in the supermarket. Never knew they had it. 5asara mafeeh the strawberry rose one.

I love Mint Chocolate and After Eight is one of my favourite. Check out these After Eight "Straws". Cool huh??

Chicken Big Mac meal. Smothered with BBQ sauce. And eaten at home in private and not worrying about stuff dripping down ur face. The best thing ever.

A study session where my friend decided to eat my sugar fix. Btw thats the remains of the buscuit and nutella thing i did a couple of weeks ago.

My goodie drawer in the office. Funny thing about being a recovering chocolateaholic is that u dont necessarily need to eat chocolate. Just being within the proximity is enough. Notice the tube of all pink smarties?? Been there for 10 days now still not opened. But let me say one thing. All the boys i work with are very happy. They are calling me the baqala. LOOOOL

How Come This Never Happens in Muscat???

OPENING DATE: More than 165 new brands will open in Dubai Mall.
More than 165 new retail brands will start operating in Dubai when the Emirate's latest mall opens its doors on Thursday.

Dubai Mall is introducing the new shop names as part of its 1.1 million sq ft retail offering – almost 30 percent per cent of the 3.77 million sq ft of the mall's total gross leasable area.

With many making their Middle East debut, these retailers are entering the Dubai market for the first time or opening up their first standalone stores, mall bosses said.
Retailers opening in Dubai for the first time, or opening up their first-stand alone store cover a range of product categories including fashion, jewellery, food and beverage, home furnishings and specialty stores.

Alberta Ferretti, Joseph, Alexander McQueen, Manolo Blahnik, Agent Provocateur, Galliano, Tom Ford and Lanvin are leading names in the fashion sector.

Armani/Casa, Walentowski Gallery and Bloomingdale's furniture offer first-time services in home furniture, while Burj Al Hamam, Fauchon Café, Rainforest Café, Café Nero, MBCo (Montreal Bread Company), Vapiano, Carluccio's, Ping Pong Dim Sum, Roadster Diner and The Noodle Factory add to the food and beverage roster.

Bubbles & Giggles, Armani Junior, Tommy Hilfiger Kids, Kids Puzzle, Theopille & Patachou and Cacharel Paris are new names in children's and maternity wear, while Jacob & Co, Piaget Boutique and Panerai are new entrants in the watches and jewellery sector.

Dubai Mall is one of the world's largest shopping, lifestyle and entertainment destinations featuring a total of more than 1,200 retailers.

Yousif Al Ali, general manager, The Dubai Mall, said: "The Dubai Mall is providing a revitalising boost to the city's retail offer by introducing over 165 new stores from around the globe.

"It was important for us to bring in names that are new to the region. Therefore, we developed partnerships with leading international retailers for opening their doors for the very first time here.

"These top names in the retail industry will further enhance Dubai's reputation as one of the prime shopping and leisure destinations in the world."

My Mystery SMSer - UPDATED

2008-11-02T02:51:00.003+04:00

Ok for kil ili malgoofeen oo yaboon y3arfoon about the dude that was SMSing me as per my previous post. Well cant be bothered to give a full story of details lakin here are the highlights:

The dude saw me almost a year ago in starbucks talking to a friend and i always stuck in his mind.

He is 29 and a lawyer.

He came across my name in facebook and he realised it was me. Through a glitch he was able to access my profile and get my phone number.

He sounded australian or european but turned out he was Omani with a very strong accent.

He insisted on speaking in English cos he said he expresses himself better.

He talks as if he is reading a text book.

Icing on the cake, he works in the same building I will be working in starting tomorrow. He didnt ask me where I worked because he kept trying to convince me he wasnt a stalker. LOOOL

All this was during the phone conversation. Curiosity got the better of me and I texted him last night asking whether he would be able to recognise me if he saw me on the street and he said he doesnt think so.

Hhhhmmm some excitement huh?? Only saw his pics on facebook. Looks skinny. But looks good in the traditional Omani headgear. Dont know whether I would be able to recognise him. LOOOOL

Update: He is REALLY weird. I bumped into him this morning outside work. Hes really REALLY weird. Very sketchy character who cant stand still and cant look someone in the eye. U know the kind that u can FEEL that they have dodgy intentions.

Apologise for the late reply. Hope..hope. Wehther we b young or old. Our destiny, our being's heart and home. Is with infinitude and only there. With HOPE it is, hope that never die.

Tomorrow is the last day of my holiday and I come down with one of my notorious fevers that will not break until I get an injection in the ass. Seriously??

I dont know what to do?? I dont want an injection. Last time I couldnt sit for days.

Hala wallah - im back. Its 1.15 am. I left Dubai at around 330 pm and reached Muscat around 730 pm. Picked up my friend from the airport and dropped her off then came home. Showered changed and went out again and came back a few minutes ago.

Im completely drained.

Just a few pics of Dubai. Details in another post. Im too tired to make any kind of effort to use my 2 remaining awake braincells.
