On Life..


So life has not been any exciting to me lately.. Nothing! Nada!! I'm not used to this, I got a plan, I work, I might complete my education while I work, of course being in this country I'm staying with my folks till I die, or move to another guys place and let him have power over my life (ya sater).. Heh.. Well, lets say this got me thinking..

When I was in school I always looked up to the next stage as a "cool" phase. Like when I was in 3rd Grade I thought the 4th graders were cool!! I wanted to be a 4th grader!! When I was a 6th grader I thought Jr. High was cool, and couldn't wait to make it there, when I was in Jr. High I thought College was cool!! When I finished that, I thought having a job would be cool.. Now, I'm stuck! Should I really be looking up to retirement!! I mean, I'm 22, I'm bored!!!!! Boy, do I need help..

This was so random, don't judge me! And yeah this color is PINK, get over it guys =\

I Don't Even Have a "title" This Time.

My baby sister just bought herself 2 new guitars, and she's been practicing all day!! Weirdly enough, I am not annoyed!! heh.. It's interesting to see my baby sis having such interest, my younger sister never did, she always copied me, I didn't complain, till I grew up and saw her getting jealous of my friends :S She's older and a lil bit wiser now =P Well, It's been more than one year of me blogging, I didn't reach a 100 posts yet, but I feel like I did, and though, I remember every post, I enjoy reading every post! Is that sick?! I always liked my own writings, although my writings were usually about what happens around me, what I think and feel about it, not stories, poems, or articles of any kind. When I first started I was pissed at my sister, she told me that I complained about work to her too much. It's nothing but normal since my life is my job, and I spent an awful lot of time there, and I do look at my job as my future, she's working now, and doing it to me, lol. So anyways, I thought enough said, if I got to complain, I'll write about it! I started out ok, then thought what if my colleagues read this! A couple are annoying, but that don't mean I want to hurt their feelings. Only one is really crazy and I already told her so it's no biggy. But now, when I look at my blog, I realize I couldn't even do that, do what I wanted to do with it, and I don't know if it means I got over that or not. Another thing, I tend to like my privacy, I enjoy my Fo0f time alone, and my best friend just graduated, and now wants to work in "banke el me3fen" as she calls it =\ I was like, "Ok, m3fn and u want to work in it leeh??" "Oh, I'm excited to be with you", she says, so I wish her the best and help her all I can, a couple of weeks later she gets accepted and will join shortly, and I can't help but feel like my personal place is being invaded, I don't know why I am not liking the idea. I truly love her, but she could've worked somewhere else, I really don't like to be unprofessional at work, and I never wanted to sound childish to her, but really, it's like when ur mom shows ur new friends ur naked baby pictures, that is so her, she likes to do that, all the time, to everyone, even new people we just met, that's her way of looking sweet, telling people about ur embarrassing stuff, knowing I don't do that, and she will eventually "look" better. I never mind, cuz normally, it's in front of her friends or family who know how she is. But infront of other people, like my folks, or my friends, she's a tad embarrassing, although they know everything about me, she always can make things sound worse, or more embarrassing =\ And I am in a bit of a battled lately, thinking; would it be "3eeb" to go on to her and tell her, about the whole behavior that bugs me, -not about her joining where I work-, we are very close. But I really don't want her to get it wrong or hurt her feelings. I was supposed to go to her place today, I didn't go cuz of this thinking dilemma which I am hating. Off, a wise girl once told me, don't befriends girls, girls are weird.. I am so with her in that right now!!!

Planning Stuff Never Meant They WILL Work Out!!



I couldn't sleep last night, when I at last slept -after crying for no reason- I woke up @ 9 after the worst set of night mares. I was supposed to be happy I'm getting this over with!! Saying good-bye to my glasses and lenses was a dream since I first wore em when I was in 10th grade! I took a shower and called my friends who are going with me, dad was supposed to come but he was in Abu Dhabi, so only mom came, and guess what.. After all of that, my two friends did it, and I came back to nurse them around for the whole day just because I was long-sighted and that was a puzzle enough for them to put a drop that tranquilizes my inner eye muscles so they can tell what's really going on with my eyes, and they can't do the op until the effect wears off, which is 3 days later!! My op is scheduled now on Monday inshallah, I am hoping for the best, and dad will be coming and my friends WILL come over to nurse me!! Allah yustor, and ynje7 all our operations ya rab..

So, I think I can check my email for a couple of more days. I should be happy, shouldn't I??

-Bummed Fo0f!

Nobody Said Saudi is Perfect. But Quite Frankly, No Where Else is!


This post was influenced a long time ago by this post.

A friend of mine got engaged 3 months ago, it was rather quick, she liked the guy, and her family liked his family. It was all going on good, and they wanted to get married ASAP.

I was happy for her, she's a year older than I, still young, but divorced before marriage -something we do here in Saudi is called "Melkah", which confirms the marriage formalities, but your not married till the party is done-.

Honestly; I didn't ask her who he was, I only knew his first name, and that he's not "Najdi", meaning he's not from the Central Area in Saudi. I couldn't care less as long as she was happy.

Her marriage was scheduled on the first Friday after Eid just before school started. And being in situation she chose not invite no one till a week before the date of the marriage party.

On Thursday, I got the invitation. I was kinda shocked it was tomorrow, I thought she'd give me more time to get ready and all =P but whatever, it's her call, and being her friend who had nothing else to do on that sunless day, I had to go =)

Thursday night, I get a call from her mom telling me the girls wedding is off, I asked when are you postponing it to? And she tells me it's not being postponed, it's cancelled! I ask why, and she tells me; they were not "originals"! (ma kano a9eeleen) I said; didn't you know that before?? And she said no, they told us they were, and their family wasn't known and we didn't think they would lie regarding such things, but today when we sent the invitations we got many calls from the family seniors saying they don't approve and they called the "Amara" to make sure of the family origins, and they informed them that they are not!! And may God reward my doughter and let us bear us they don't want to divorce her and we're going to the Judge for that "O allah y5lef 3ala bente bele a7san o y3eena 3al ma7akm la2no el rijal ma yebe y6l8!" I told her I am sorry and called my friend, who was crying telling me, I feel like I don't have a family!

You see I always thought that non originals were better people in accepting a lot of things that originals automaticlly label as wrong and taboo out of tradition more than not approved by Islam"7aram". I thought they lived a carefree life, with no worries. But when I told dad my friends' story, and asked him why would they lie! It's not like they can't find someone that matches them, he told me they wanted to upgrade themselves!!! And that made me think that they could be more superficial than I thought!!
I don't care that much about family, in marriage, but I respect my dads wishes and would never marry someone he wouldnt approve of. But I always thought no one would put them selves in such a bad situation knowing that people would hesitate in accepting them!!

My friend now is divorced, twice, and that is never good in this country!
-See OT, it's not just family names and money; you can add that to your list!

It's No Secret; You Annoy Me!



I can't stand your voice, your face, your stupid comments and actions, your endless tries to befriend me, or to get the latest buzz from me.. I know your kind, and I despise you, and knowing you work here with me, and I have to see you daily, is really annoying me, yeah, sorry, but at least I am honest!! And if you didn't get that when I first said it that proves you're more stupid than I thought you were! I want to leave because of you, yes, I am willing to, you're not going anywhere, so it's up to me now to move to a better place, to rub off better people.. But you know what; as bad as you are, you do the most damage!! I never thought a clueless person like you, would ever annoy me this much!

So, I found this great site that understands me =D it sends anonymous hatred mail, even has great suggestions if you can't write down your own!!

Lets see, shall I send her this:

"Do you know how unseemly you appear when you stand at the boss' desk, chatting him up for two hours after your shift ends? Also, your cackling at every one of his comments, and that rip-snort animal noise you make are obnoxious! How old are you, twelve? Do you actually think he is going to help you advance your career by your sucking up, gossiping and snorting at everything he says? Grow up!"

Or this;

"Why must you continually use your outside voice in our cubicle environment? Don't you realize that entire office can hear your pointless conversations with all your visitors. Who cares about your gripes on how work should be done!!! We work on boring pensions and benefits. Deal with it!!! Have you ever thought of being a Public Address Announcer at a Nascar event??? Your loudmouth could easily be heard over all the roaring engines without the use of speakers!!!!"

Or this: -lovin the site!-

"Please refrain from voicing your emotions as grunts and other assorted noises. The English language exists for a reason, to be used. If I wanted to listen to animal noises I would go to a zoo."

Nyahaha wala fallah if I did, problem is; she'd know it's me! Or is is a7san if she did?? =D`

PS. You can do it too, anonymously, I know you want to ;)

Mood Swing? I Think Not :$

I am not a moody person, at least I don't think I am. I mean a "moody" person is a person who has mood swings for no reason, right?? I have reasons!!

Okay, I can't think of a post, and that's killing me, writing was easy then, and fun!! Eid is a day away, which sucks since my eid plans are goind to our town, and meeting distant relatives I haven't seen in a real long time -we don't really miss each other, don't worry, we're not even supposed to-. Thing is, we live and lead different lives, we're not even that close, and all we do is mere formality, I wont lie to you, when I go I have fun, we all do, it's a big gathering if you don't have fun you're sick.. It's the best place, and a fun time. It's just that it lacks personal space, you are everybody's business there.. I am packing my laptop, some movies, FRIENDS DVDs, Grey's Anatomy, a book (Cents and Senibility) and a manga (Kingdom Hearts *thanks sis*).. I still don't know what to wear on Eid, I so wanted a Jalabyah! I never did the Jalabyah thing! I'm doing it this year if I get time to buy one tomorrow.

We're hitting the road tomorrow noon, wish me luck and fun everyone.. Enjoy your Eid celebrations and take care.. Oh yeah, did I say I got a raise at wor!! Cuz I did =D
See, I am not moody, it's just what happens around me affect me, and I do speak up, unlike some people..
UPDATE:
ok, I was gonna write a whole I am back post, but blogger gave up on me and lost it, I am not writing all of that again!!! Anyhoos I am back for real =P in ur face stupid hacker!!
Thanks Euphoria for being the first to tell me about this -although then I couldnt do anything about it-, Ahmed for the post, Ash and Rio for the investigitaion ;) and 7amoudi for your ususal help ;)
3eed was messy, crowded and had lotsa dust and sick kids in case u were wondering! 3eedkom mobarak everyone!! Hope u had a pleasent one!!

And "They" Say; "I" Got Problems!

So, once upon a time the internet in Saudi got more popular with the youth when it interduced Hi5, a while later there was a lot of similer sites such as zorpia, multiply, bingbox, and recently tagged.

I for one enjoyed hi5, it had a friendly look, and covered everything, no one screwed with the colors or the background. It was readable, and you can tell who's who easily. Eventually, it got blocked =P

My brother sent me a bingbox invatation a while back and I accepted and sent to my contacts later and forgot about it. And yesterday I decided to check my junkmail folder and it was all bingbox! So I went to check it out and found out people left me the weirdest messages.

HONESTLY; I never seen this much of weirdo mail! So I thought I'll share it with you.. Maybe you'd think it's not weird after all -who knows-

Surprise.. Surprise..

Balloons =D

Woke up today with a headache, and seems nobody's there to have fa6oor with but my sisters.. -I'm not complaining- We had a party for my sis yesterday, she's a 21 year old now.. I kinda screwed up her head a lot, as I had to make it a real surprise, I told her we're going to meet some friends and I was in my abaya =D and she bought it! While her friends were gathering up in our basement!! Making balloons and getting ready.. I called her @10 pm told her that I am in the car waiting and she should go get the Karaoke from the basement and come; she screamed at me; "It's not that we're ONLY late, kaman; KARAOKE IN RAMDAN!!" I was like "just bring it!!" And she came down the basement and we were all there and whoa she didn't see that one coming! I am satisfied =D

See, the thing with surprise parties is; that the person you're supposed to be surprising, knows it and expects it most of the time, sometimes is nice and acts surprised and all.. But in her case we already had a family party on Sunday -the actual day of her birthday- So, she thought in the gathering we'll have cake and she's gonna get gifts and that's it.

I, for one, had the worst surprises, I was never surprised! Till last year.. When I turned 21, and I didn't make a big deal out of it, I was gonna start a new job in a week, and was saying good-bye to the lazy simple life. I got a couple of calls and sms's that day, was lazily watched TV.. When mama came with a cake and all the family waraha singing.. I was happy =)

This year, mama missed my birthday, she and dad were in UK for a week, and supposed to come back ON my birthday, but they couldn't get a flight, so they came on Thursday, when my friends were having a "surprise" party at home for me, which I guessed all along, even the activities I guessed, I freaked myself. When mom came, she brought me a Gucci watch that I've wanted!! It was the best birthday, despite me not being surprised.

Newsflash: Taqo's blog is back and kickin!! ;)

For more of my pictures, check my flickr page, yeah, yeah.. I finally got one!

Ramadan Kareem

So, second day of Ramadan already!! Wow. I slept yesterday at 9 PM. Woke up a while ago before fajr, I'm not used to this yet I guess.. I watched Tash el a9le, it was funny!! I don't think everyone agrees with me though! heh..
I'm checking my mail EVERYDAY and I think American Eagle just cancelled my order! They got this stupid new laws in online purchasing, where they added a couple more stuff to guarantee the stupid people don't get robbed! Well, we shouldn't limit ourselves 3ashan a couple of careless online shoppers!! Mn jd matching addresses for the Credit Card holder and the shipping address!! And then that other code they added CVV whatever! I really don't enjoy online shopping as much as I did a while before!
So, now it's 6.30 AM got work in 3 hrs, and nothing to do.. I been hooked on LOST, and been liking Saieed, I thought it was just a crush, but heck, it's episode 26 and I still dig the guy! He's handsome, sweet and strong.. What more does a girl want *dreamyeyes* lol, but hey, he don't look Iraqi to me..
Let me post this, and I'll go watch the rest of it..
Ciao

Need a Slogan?! How About I Want Fo0f ;)

Hello bloggers..

Today was not a good day for me, waking up @ 6AM and arriving work @ 8AM. Being blamed by my boss for something someone else did, and I can't point that out cuz I'd be childish and not nice to that person, and being picked on by the Relationship Managers to do thier jobs, I plugged my headphones and ignored everything in the end!! Raises are supposed to be coming and I should put the workoholic act that everyone is putting, but I'm not in the mood at all..

So, I go home to check my personal e-mail hoping to get a message from American Eagle that my shipment is shipped, and while I am still checking my fifty-something mailbox I bump into
this

You all oughtta try it. You put a word and it makes a slogan out of it!! Check these out:
  • Can You Tell Nouf From Butter?
  • Yo Quiero Fo0f.

Woohoo, what does that mean =P it means I WANT FOOF!! Lol, might as well print it on a Tee!

P.S. UmEeE:

It's not an achievement 2 make 100 FRiENDS in a Year, but an achievement is 2 make a FRiEND for 100 Years, 'N' I know I've made ONE, that's . . . YOU !!~I wanted to sms you but you know I can't ='(

I wish U a happy birthday and may you get real big goals to achieve for next year, and always know I'll be there for you if you needed any help to achieve them!!

Check out the koooolest B Day Cake, for my somewhat in-a-workaholic-phase friend =P: (That's how she REALLY looks!!)




UmEe B-Day Cake



Ren Crow's birthday is today!! Happy birthday mesio 23 years!! =D

I g2g see the rest of LOST..
