Butt, Bout, Colilla, Mozzicone, Yan6a7???

So its only 10 am in the morning and already I am having a very very strange day.


To start off, I woke up this morning with a very very sore butt, or as my little nephew likes to say "6az6oozy 3awarneee". Last night I had my first cycling class which I really enjoyed cos man that shit works you out hard. I did not expect the harder than rock seats.

Trainer: Everyone in position?? Any questions??
3aneeda: Is it normal that the seat is this hard??
Trainer: Yes dont worry first time it will hurt, by the third time you will be asking for more

Is it just me with the dirty mind or did that REALLY have a hidden sexual connotation???





Now you know me, I like making my post look nice with pics and funny stuff. So I used google translator to see what "butt" is in different language. Hence the title. English to arabic gave me yan6a7??? Yan6a7 shlon?? Head butt?? Hhhhmmm. Never mind.



On a lighter note, I just got this pic by email. It won awards and shit. Amazing isnt it?? Its basically a top view of camels walking in the desert. The little white things are the camels and the black is actually the shadows. True amazing.

5ashim update: Hes out of town. In Dubai on a business trip. Wonder if he will try the hotel scam again when he gets back!!!

My Name is Mary Poppins

Or at least thats what a lot of my friends call me. Cos apparently my handbag is huge and has all kinds of useless junt-in-case items in them. Like candy for those low sugar days except the candy is all squished and probably expired by now. The tape measure (dont ask me why i even had it in the first place) that DID actually come in handy in a furniture store. The collection of pens. The spare watch. Three bottles of perfume. And the list goes on and on. Of course when a handbag is changed, all this shit moves with it. No no no, whoever gave you the idea that 3aneeda would probably rub her two braincells together and clear out the junk!!! NO WAY!! The lazy gene is much more dominant.

Oh yeah and the lollipop that was there since New Years Eve 08. Therefore a 9 month old lollipop. Well I just felt like reconnecting with that inner child in me. I hope I dont get a stomach ache from it now. Good thing I have those pain pills in my bag. ;P

A Very Random Post

Im starting off this post without a title because i really dont know what i wanna talk about. I have sooo much to say but i cant seem to be putting it into words.



For some reason today i took the day off work. Mako sabab bas makan li 5ilg adawim. Makan li 5ilg achoof 5ashim lani i had to go see my GM for something minor oo adri ineh 5ashim byitda5al fil mawthoo3. Aham shay ineh il GM nasy howa shu mwaqi3li gabil youmain wal7een yabeeni aroo7 ashra7 kil shay mara thania. Madri.

Im actually seriously considering a career change. I want to get out of banking. 5ala9 ta3abt min kil shay 7sabat oo savings oo current oo customer oo charges 00 call centre 00 service quality 00 shakawi oo mashakil oo balawi il dinya wil deen. Mabi. Abi sha'3la it5aleeni agoom min noumi gabl il alarm ib nu9 sa3a min il 7amas. Abi sha'3la itga3idni fil dawam sa3tain thalath ba3ad nihayat il dawam. Abi sha'3la mako feeha routine. Is it too much to ask??


Ramadhan shagool 3aneh?? Kileh akil oo TV for people in general. This year 9ayra aroo7 il gym for a couple of hours a day oo bagi il youm ana online - 9ayir idman. Mako sh'3el. its too hot to do anything outdoorsy which is the natural jaw of ramadhan oo hathi il sina kil mukan is crap.

Im watching this move with Sly Stallone about some Formula 1 racing - Obviously there is a girl involved that ditches one guy for his brother than ditches him for the original guy she was trying to make jealous the whole time. Does this shit really happen?? The way i see it these ideas for the movies have to come from real life!!!

So i just came up with a title for the post. LOL. Oh yeah and Ive been adding lots of new blogs to my "to do" list. Been discovering some great new blogs. Man I missed this.

Took my cousin's 2 little boys (4 and 6 years old) to Toys R Us today to get whatever they wanted - soooo cute. They selected one toy each even though they had an open budget and they both took the same one "3ashan ma nit-tharab 3alaih fil bait". My cousin is doing a very good job. My body clock is ticking. LIKE CRAZY.

Is there a way in our culture to have your own kid biologically without the husband as excess baggage?? I dont want a husband. I just want my own child.

PS. Im officially sick of people saying "no ur lying" when i tell them Im Omani. 9irt agool "ee 9a7 9idtooni ga3da achathib" WTF!!!!

5ashim update

There is no update - LOOOOL

It looks like he learned not to cross me - hasn't so much as sent me an email.

GM told me that it looks like 5ashim purposely excluded me from an Audit meeting.

BUSTED MOFO

Dubai's Top Ten Must-Haves - Part 2

So if I got all then items - does that men Im super duper trendy??

Dubai's Top Ten Must Haves

Wake Up Its A Beautiful Morning . . .

. . . NOT.

I dont know whats wrong with me. My alarm is set for 815 and i wake up at 630. When I look at the time, I see that I have another hour and a half to sleep, so it take me another 15 minutes to go back to sleep only to get out of bed at 839 after snoozing 3 times (at 8 minutes each snooze time) and rush to work.

I dont get it - Ive been coming to work late every Ramadhan morning because of the same routine. Al7een abi afham, dam ini 9a7ait 3adil il sa3a sita oo nu9, laish faj2a iyeeni il kasal oo ma agdar a97a?? 3athaaaaaaabbbb.

Il7amdila i still didnt get comments on my lateness - i guess its because i sit with a different department oo y5afoon mini. LOL

5ashim update: il 7ayawan (allahuma ini 9ayma) yitjara2 ygooli ilyoum awain to "stick to protocol and reporting lines" - 6anashteh. 3abaleh madri ineh howa hes been reporting my work to the AGM as his own without copying me on the email. Il sabab il wa7eed ili ana sakteh lani Im on very good terms with the GM oo howa yadri exactly shu shu'3li ana. Oo 7ata howa broo7eh gali ineh hathak la2eem oo ga3id ysawi chee. Allahuma 6awilik ya roo7. Biyeek youm laman afta7 krootik jidam il yiswa wili ma yiswa ya kalb.

Wear Your Emotions On Your Sleeve

I never really understood this statement. How do you wear your emotions on your sleeve?? If your upset, is your sleeve wet from tears?? If your happy is your sleeve colourful and bright?? What about anger?? Remorse?? Regret?? You get my drift??

I dont know why I just thought of this??

Penny for your thoughts??

5ashim update: He is non-muslim therefore working hours are 8 to 4. Yet every morning I arrive before him. Hmm. I start at 9. Yesterday he leaves before me. I leave at 2. Is it because the big boss is out of town??? Cheeky arent we. Explains why I never got a reply to my email.

No Comment - LOL

I freaked Myself Up

Ok so last night, a la Ramadhan's new timings, I went to bed a lot past 2 am. So i do the customery routine of drinking a whole bottle of water in one go while semi-lying down and therefore the 10 minute coughing fit before going to sleep. Have you ever seen anyone more lazy??

At about 4 am i wake up with a fright and I find myself mid-turn. HOW WEIRD IS THAT??? As in literally i was rolling over in my sleep and i scared myself awake. I never even know that was physically possible. So you know what happens?? I sit there in bed looking around checking that nobody saw me. As if anyone would see me, i lock my door at night. But thats what happens when paranoia kicks in.

I think it must have taken at least an hour for me to fall back asleep. Therefore resulting in a slightly over-confident saunter into the office at 10.30 am. (Ramadhan Working Hours for Muslims 9 am to 2 pm).

So generally not really a good day. Cant really say I woke up on the wrong side of the bed since my bed is stuck up against the wall.

Now to make things worse, some dude I work with, lets call him 5ashim cos hes just sooo nosey. Anyways, he butts into an email convo that is going on between a department and a branch and myself. Since I am the problem solver. Now this 5ashim dude is not involved with what Im doing at all but pertains to the same department but is somehow trying to do a takeover. WTF???

Sorry bas ma gadart amsik 3umri - shara5teh ib email agooleh something along the lines of "me 7 years banking experience - you zilch - butt the fuck out"

Im still waiting for the reply - krkrkrkrkr

And here we go again . . .

. . . I have nothing against Ramadhan - I just have something against the hypocrites that come out in their true colours during this holy month.

I am a non-head-covering individual, but I wear the shaila during Ramadhan so satisfy my dad and society. My dad is generally anti-3abaya and anything depressing but during Ramadhan I dont want people accusing me that I am the reason that the guys are breaking their fast because my hair is on show. So I avoid that and wear the shaila. Yet I get called a hypocrite. Hhhmmm.

Am I?? This coming from someone who looks like shes so sick that she might collapse any minute because since its Ramadhan shes not wearing any make-up??? She is not shaking hands with any of the male colleagues, her phone is on silent, her voice does not raise above the whispers of a mouse and if she finds herself in a situation where she is left alone in the room with a male colleague she will make a point to leave it until someone else comes in.

Seriously??? Who are you kidding?? Do you see me THAT much different from every day?? I never wear makeup to work. I share an office with a male colleague. The only difference is the head gear. Im not the one that used to take out my compact in the middle of the office and powder my nose. Does the fact that you wear the shaila all year round give you the right to be condescending and accumulate a holier-than-thou attitude??

Kiss my ass, Bitch.

Allahuma ini 9a2ima. LOL

Random Photos - Part VII

And multiple trips later, I come back with cash remaining in my wallet - Im actually very impressed with myself.

The usual Ramadhan / Eid shopping that was supposed to be done in one of my multiple Dubai / Abu Dhabi / Jordan trips and this is all I come out with. Looks like Im going naked again. LOOOOOOL

Did I mention that I chopped off my hair??? Yep - did a Victoria Beckham style haircut that I now regret. Literally came out with one third the length I walked in with. Im growing it back again now since the main reason I cut my hair was the heat and summer didnt last very long this year thankfully.

Spring cleaning resulted in 50+ pairs of shoes going to charity - Emilda Marcus no longer - I now have less than 100 pairs of shoes remaining. Obsession per say??

Work!!! What can I say - I think I need a career change. Any suggestions???

Random Photos - Part VI

A follow up Dubai trip after my birthday was necessary. Thats when I realised that metallic shoes appear to be dominant. LOL

Great nights out with great friends - some obsessed by ceiling fixtures hence this pic - I cant even remember which friend it was that asked me to take a pic of this. Never the less - reminds me of the new Trader Vics in Dubai.

Najooya my darling I love you - a very good friend of mine - finally we had a long relaxed weekend together in Dubai as opposed to our usual mad rushed few hours.

My summer holiday 08 was in the Dead Sea in Jordan - was not a very good choice but never the less meeting up with old friends always trumps location.

The charity gala dinner made a come-back this year. Even more successful. Same location as the previous one - for more details click on the following link http://3anooda.blogspot.com/2006/08/gala-fund-raising-dinner-shangri-la.html

Random Photos - Part V

Ok just the random photos makes a come back - might have a few issues in one since ive been away for so long.


The obsession with Noor - dont ask me Im totally NOT a TV kind of person but for some reason i got hooked - my friend took this pic on a visit to Oman from Dubai. They were staying at the Shangri-La and i was distracted for a hour watching the missed episode. LOL

So nice birthday cake huh?? A friends birthday in Dubai - of course im sure u all know my obsession with Dubai but see not all trips are for myself - some like these are to carry out social duties. LOOOOOOL

Finally I went to Central Perk

My birthday, celebrated in Dubai of course, dinner was in Buddha Bar. I strongly recommend the Red Platter Sushi. Its to DIE for.

Made some good new friends on my birthday weekend. Hopefully the kind that lasts.

Im looking for my Xander Cage

Do you ever get your thoughts wandering off like crazy when your watching a specific movie or something?? Like seeing something on TV and going "that is EXACTLY what im looking for". Well I always go through that but Im not at all a celebrity buff. I NEVER get star struck. Can you imagine how much I HEART Mr. Big from Sex and the City. Well I saw him in a cafe in New York City and all i did was giggle to my girlfriends "OMG thats Mr. Big". Of course they embarassed me and shreiked so loud that he turned around and noticed us and gave that "teenage girls" look. If he only new that I was the youngest of the group at 24.



But my oh my does he take my breath away. I think if i ever see him in real life i very possibly will attach myself to him. No matter what any body guards say or do. Even though i doubt he needs body guards. So basically im watching xXx right now on MBC 2 and im just breathless. I only discovered Vin Diesel through this movie and ever since he has become the guy i compare all guys to. LOL. i know i know i sound like a horny teenage schoolgirl but i cant help it. His voice, his biceps, his bald head, he is just absolutely yummy.

Over and out before I overdo it.

Blogging again??? Perhaps

Ive always been trying to come back and blog but i dont know what happens. I come back, read through my old entries, laugh about them and go back to whatever I was doing (since this usually happens during working hours).

Now its just after lunchtime on a Friday, Im sitting at home watching Catch Me If You Can, trying to decide whether to go watch Tropic Thunder at 330. Im in that blah moods - where I slept so much that Im still lazy. Have so many errands to do just before Ramadhan and my phone has been ringing non-stop with "Jum3a mbaraka" and "Ramadhan Kareem" messages from numbers I dont know. So since Im bored and got nothing to do, Im actually making the effort to reply to these people asking who they are. Some dude is insisting that I am Hussain and that he has always been communicating with me on the same number.




So its Ramadhan again - time really flies. Cant beleive its already been almost six months since I moved jobs, its almost time to renew the registration on my car, im 28 already and feeling like im going on 73. I remember turning 26 a few months after i started blogging. Going back and reading the stuff i wrote before really surprised me. Its interesting to see how much ive changed. The most interesting was my man wish-list. Just shows how people change with experience and whatever u thought u would always want is not what u want anymore.

PS. He still has to be taller than me. LOOOOOOOOOL

What will happen to Shu - Jumeirah Beach Road??

Its one of my favourite hangouts in Dubai - a very chilled oud shisha cafe on Jumeirah Beach Road, not too far from Madinat Jumeirah area - its right on the road and during winter, it was where i used to go on a daily basis - just order a shisha and play 6awla. I hope they dont shut it down. Already there are places where after 12 midnight, shisha is not allowed outdoors like on Sheikh Zayed Road. Whats the point?? What would moving it indoors do that is protecting the whatever of the public?? Silly asses.

____________________________________________________

Shisha cafe owners have until the end the year to move out of residential areas or face heavy penalties or closure, Dubai Municipality warned on Sunday.

Announcing new smoking regulations, a senior Municipality official warned cafe owners that the fourth phase of the smoking regulations in public would be taken seriously, newspaper 7 Days reported on Monday.

“We will not hesitate to close down shisha cafés if they don’t follow our regulations. We are serious about this issue,” said Salem Mesmar, assistant director general of Dubai Municipality for the health, safety and environment control sector, the newspaper quoted.

Under the new rules all entertainment and recreation areas will be fined the equivalent of $544 if they do not adhere to the smoking ban, unless they have a licence allowing them to maintain a specific smoking area.
