I Really Dont Know

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

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??

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

Its Already Been a Year

RIP Ali Mehdi

Useless Day

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

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

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

. . . 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

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

Polls Polls Polls

Hey guys whats up?? Been a while since I wrote one of those random conversational posts to you hasnt it??

Anyways I come to you with ulterior motives

I just posted 2 polls on my story blog - A New Beginning

I need you to cast in you votes. Mainly to the question mal who do you think is at the door - im planning on posting the new part before the weekend so the poll is there only for 2 days. 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.

LOVE YOU GUYS

Oh yeah to my BB girlies - I MISS U LIKE CRAZY and i miss our 3-ways - hahahahhah this is going to give everyone something to talk about

Asshole of the Month - April 2009

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.

Story Moved

Hey guys - I decided to move my story to its own seperate blog - cos it was getting confusing

A New Beginning

Looooool - funny

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'
