A New Year


Another year has passed and little to look at and smile. All that passed has passed none leaf a lasting stain. Into history it all concludes, 20 a distant memory a number between now and tomorrow. I do smile for tomorrow to come for I know it’s a better day. I know all grows, blossoms and then withers and die. All live their life and no ones else time, all get their share and for that they shall be glad.
I do realize there are many hopes to hope, many dreams to dream, and many moments to embrace. I know many shall smile and wish me a great year, what is a year but a time from now and then.
Ageless like the times my sadness has been, but with a bright smile I shy the sun to an eclipse, for none to say I’ve darkened my life. For all I share more hides, to many and few I am who they think I am, and to you and me I’m as true as I come.
Tonight it all concludes, a new year a new dream a new hope shall all arise, and into tomorrow it shall set.

My Cause


I’ve been listening to the same song for 2 days now, and that is my interpretation of it
“ I’ve Seen- Outlandish, Sami Yusuf”

Once was motivation, but then time came and transformed it to an inspiration. Then again time came and ended it. Once it all had a greater cause now its all so trivial. Once science made all the sense I needed, and now faith is all I have.
I’m trying to find the reason, the truth behind it all. I know each have their cause, but mine evades me. The only cause I had is lost now. A new purpose is out there somewhere, but I wish you were here as I’m missing you so desperately.

Friend?


All I know is this, if I can live without a mother or a sister, why do I need a friend! i can be living in joy if I didn’t have to damn please the ones I love, I’d usually do what ever they’d want only for the mere liking, but not now not any more. I’m not bitter nor do I hate people, all I want is to live my life, and bystanders are quite enough. I never shared a secrets for the sad truth I’m brutally honest about myself and about everything. I don’t scheme and plan for people to like me, all I want is for people to respect me and don’t ditch me like a wet towel to dry in damp ditch.
What is a friend but another person in my life, today here, tomorrow not. I know this much if your family can disappear why do you hold much faith of friends! They are wonderful when they are there just as family, but when they are not it’s you and only you. No one cares if you drove all across the city with misty eyes or the gleeful smile, all that counts is to be self-sufficient and self-reliant. Why do we seek to share the joyful moments and why do we seek our parents acknowledgment or a man’s love? If at the end we all die, and no one remembers us.

Old Age


This should be have been a great day, I’ve been waiting for this piece of paper for so long. I can no more care, it feels like I’m barely floating my way through the day, I lost my sense of time and space, I’m numb all over, stupid medicine I’m 21 in a couple of weeks and I feel as if I’m 64. I’ve come to realize my biological clock is way older than my self, and I’ve got an old soul to go with it.
When I turned 17 I had my mid life crisis, by this pace, if I reach 45 it would be a great achievement. As I mentioned in an earlier post “Plan 45” still stands, the grand party still happens and all is invited, but all need to keep me up to date with their current Address.
Anyhow, today I got the paper and as I always suspected I finished he course with distinction, I should have been very excited and happy, but all I was thinking about is to sleep, and how will I drive with out crashing the car with my buzzed out head. Al through the way I was about to pull aside and just sleep in the car, but with half closed eyes, and reciting every do3a and Quran verse I knew so God will help me reach home safely I got home, as always Allah is there for me you pray and he answers.
So when I got home I went straight to bed to sleep, and I was in balck space no dreams no nothing existed, until my idiot sister walked in and was on the phone, I woke up and realized I skipped to classes today, and I got plenty more to write.
Why can’t we just Sleep with no worries about waking up.

Once in A Dark night


I’ll close my eyes and fall into deep sleep, no alarms would wake me up not any life engagements. A time when I won’t have to wake up for School or worry about a test. A time friends and family are irrelevant, all that matters is the empty space I float in. No dreams occupying my sleeping head no nightmares haunting my very existence.
It’s not dieing I desire, but something else. Where it doesn’t matter what that girl says about me nor what that guy thinks. A place I exist on my own with out missing anyone else, no Dead mother and no Dead brother. A place hatred and love do not exist, nothing exist but the empty black space and me.

What is life but what we make of it.

There is no complexity in this world it has been black or white, but with us the grey area been found. Life is a mere interpretation, and with each the vision is different.
Pain tells us that we are alive, and thus we need to do more than just endure pain. We need to create love and peace to feel them.
Each must lives their own life, go through his own experiences and support their own causes. Then one could say my life, which ultimately is ended by death.

Life we chose to lead is one that shall be looked and praised. Yet still we live in a very narrow vision or with no vision at all. We never stop to really have a look at where we are heading. Beauty escapes on daily basis, as we never pause to look.
Yet we see all the gruesome detail we leave behind, War, Hatred and much more. For we need to look at times were consolidate and lean on each other for support, those are times worth looking at.

Deja Vu

I feeling the my life is constant deja vu, and to me it very unpleasant feeling, its like I already know what will happen next. I don’t like knowing what will happen next, it either life is becoming very predictable or I’m becoming a psychic, thou these days I can’t do anything properly, what of telling the future then. It’s not like I predict good stuff, its all bad or trivial. And then again I don’t chose what to know and all of the time I know stuff that I got no interest in or I’m better off not knowing. Knowledge is power and it’s not always good.

Come to think about it, how come most villains are very educated or scientists, I really do like superman, and yesterday all the gas-station workers where dressed in Superman shirts, so I asked if the DVD is out, turns out yes. So I got into the little gas-station grocery shop and got me a Superman DVD. I must say Tom Welling is better looking superman. Ok the thing is Lex Luthor is very educated! After hearing him and his dad quoting so many people, I started wanting to read the Art of War!!
I love superman but lex luthor!! Is like a genius and with money!

Mess


To say my life is messy is an understatement. I just go back from a 10-day trip in which the journey had taken almost 3 days. It was very enlightening.
I need to sit and organize my mess, my clothes are all around, and my desk is the biggest mess ever, I sort put everything on hold fro the past 10 days, and didn’t worry about the next day, now the next day is here. I’ll start school tomorrow, and I gota make up for a whole week, its seems I’ll be running around this week too, can’t wait for spring break. This semester is taking so long to get through it. I can frankly say I never felt my life busy until this semester. Yet I’m loving it, some how it makes everything matter, it gives you a purpose.
I’m liking my mess, but I suppose I’ll need to fix up things tomorrow, enshalla

Pizza Hut Delivers faster!


Its 12:54, and last time I spoke to the police was 12:33 despite the fact that this all started at 12:00, they haven’t shown their pretty faces yet!

So here is the story: a guy bumps into me, and it takes both of us like 5 minutes to think about getting out of our cars and start inspecting the damages. Then another 5 to decide to call up the police. The dude mumble something I didn’t quite hear him so I ask, sorry what did u say, he said what road are we in. Huh that made me chuckle asking me about the roads name. Anyhow we got lucky and a van honks us turns out there is police officer in it. He calls the police for us and tell them about our where about, then he usher us to the side of the road. Then he tell us the roads name and if the police men if they don’t show up I should call them back.

So here I am sitting in my car with no credit in my phone praying that the bright dude behind me calls the police again. Then I thought I shud try calling them up 999 is usually free right? So I do and it rings, I’m happy and all but it keeps on ringing No one is picking up! I wonder did I get the number right, what sort of a lifeline is this! Then I close I call back few minutes later an someone picks up and he sounds hundred miles away. I start doubting that those people are supposed to help, anyhow he tells me we will send police patrol to you. 1 min later my phones rings and some other police personal asks me if I called 999!!!! What I was like shud i strangle him or laugh in his face. I tell him the deal and he says they will be there soon. Its 1:03, pizza hut delivers faster! And they got the worst home delivery service ever.


Uh I was so hoping to get home pack up my suitcase, and go shopping at the afternoon. Now it seems I’ll just head back to school!
Luckily I got my Macbook charged up, and I got ½ full tank.

And at 1:15 they arrive and at 1:30 I get back on my trip home.

Why Say SORRY


I no more understand. Why would one says sorry and beg for forgiveness, then Do the exact same thing, and smile. Why would anyone cry when they feel no remorse? If you think your ways aren’t wrong, why then say you are sorry? If you kill and then feel guilt then never do it again. Do not serve your time and go on a killing spree later on.
No religion, no race, no ethnicity, nothing justifies what people are doing. Only a mental illness could, and then it’s too convenient to say they got that.
Why can’t we confess our crimes & be sorry, and then do our time and move on.

and Suddenly

everything changes, every thing changes, civilizations turn to ruins and Humanity becomes debatable, and all of a sudden truth becomes adjustable.

Nothing stays the same, dictators become victimized and villain are virtuous and of unwavering principals.

Logical loses all of it sense, as the righteous become extremist and the shameless are considered courageous.
Reality is a relative variable, to be dismissed or reconstructed as any cynical heart desires.

All that once was correct and right is questionable. As morals and ethics are constrains of self expression. Everything that once was clear is now blurry. Everything is up to being debated and all have a conflicting interpretation.

Once a great leader and persona, today in the subject of the public debate and what is his/her sexual preferences, and the more eccentric the more accepted the opinion was. Once criminals today are victims of society, and history is jsut another tale once told and which is now very much doubted.

Everything changes, nothing stays the same.

Since 2003


2003 was the year where one journey ended and another was initiated. I’m not sure that my next journey ever was set to motion, and if it did I’m sure I’ve reached no destination, for I do not know where is it or what is my destination. I had a plan that never got played out, and thus 3 years later everything is fuzzy and unclear. I knew where I was headed I knew how to get there and what I’ll become after that. But that journey was halted from the start.

I just moved with the flow of the things, and became a drifter and as one I had no aim no point. 3 year after life shaped my perspective, I used to try and make life fit me but now I see we all just fit in our places, as we are part of life and the world doesn’t revolve around us.

I know this I did nothing significant in this world, as hunger, anger, hatred and poverty are to large of problems for me on my own to solve. Yet still I believe I can make a change, maybe not now but sometime soon in some place I’ll have an effect on people. I want to have a touch on every one I ever meet. So like in the series “Rosewell” the aliens when they touch someone to help/cure or something they leave a glowing hand. So at my funeral when all the people come they would have on their bodies a glowing hand metaphorically but literally would be awesome.

Plan 45


Plan 45 isn’t a big secret, but it is Big in its own right!
This plan is my LIFE plan, as in what needs to be done before I reach 45. Almost everyone who knows me have heard about it. Well this is my Blog so I can repeat as many times as my heart desires.
45 is the age I believe I’ll live to see, if I die before that.. well it wasn’t in the plan and plans do not always work out, but they can frame the picture properly.

If I reached my 45th birthday, I’ll have a BIG party!, and everyone I’ve met through my life is invited.
So the parts of this plan is:
- have a friend/contact from each country in the world.
- visit all the contents, and have at least 45 visited countries.
- Adopt a child.
- work for the United Nations.
- get a masters degree.
- Go to Makka for Hajj.
- have a statue of ME.
- get my name published in the History books, “preferably grade 5 history text book”
- write a book “fiction preferably”

its not a before I Die list, it is my 45 Plan.

Trust.


What does it matter, if you have someone you could trust and call a best friends, or if you had no one at all you could trust. For one thing I’m sure off, is that there is no one you can completely trust. Not a sister, nor a friend. They all repeat what you say, parrots are at least more honest about it.
Trusting others is pointless you only set up your self for disappointments. Why do we need some one to share our secrets with, secrets are meant to stay that way.
We all need a friend to talk to, a sister/brother to fight with and we all need some one to love, still we can’t trust any, humans are built up not to be flawless but to be learners.
They tell you need to trust someone, I say just have faith in people, and don’t trust them. They all fail you in one way or another.
Everyone has a secret, yet I who do not want to know them, always find secrets unfolding. i try so hard to forget them, as they destroy faith.

My only wish is people keep their secrets hidden, as faith is vital for our existence .

Roles


Are we born in our Role? Or do we grow to fit a certain role, and out grow another. Are we committed to those roles or do we change them ever so frequently as we change our costumes from one play to another. Then what is constant if our roles are just changeable variables. Identity, Character and personality are all formed by the roles we play, if that’s in a constant change then what makes us “us”.
Do we chose the roles we play, or are they reinforced on us by society, family, friends and life.

I’m an introvert but everyone thinks I’m an extrovert, is this a façade I’ve put on unconsciously, or am i a poor judge of my own character. Does this means I’m hypocrite, for I believe one thing and act another way.
Are some roles easier to play than others, for instance I have the role a dumb clumsy girl in the family, I never get the society talk and interest in other society member affairs and I never know the people worth knowing. Then I’m the smart bright girl at school, I understand every new concept quiet easily and quickly, I ask all of the smart question, and discuss all of the important things, I know the people worth knowing in this field. Doesn’t this make our roles very contradicting, isn’t it either smart or dumb.

We are very contradicting creatures, we eat meat and raise goats as pets . We eat chicken and we got canaries as pets.

Sound from Hell


Why doesn’t good luck stay for long, for some reason or another good luck always seems to be a trickful thing. For a while it treats you well, you get good grades, you get to eat all that your heart desire, you get to wake up knowing its going to be a good day. AND you buy you first Mac laptop! Some how luck seems to run out as money runs out after buying the Mac. I was very happy and joyful, until that moment, when you are happily chatting about you delightful day and everything stops for a second time freeze and mouths drop! And your mac has flipped of the table and on to the floor. Paralyzed by the sudden change of luck! You wait for some one to say pick it up!! I do and I turn it on, and it starts doing this funny noise (no there is nothing funny about it, its sounds like cutting bones!) so here you are hoping nothing bad happens! And you say I still believe in my luck and good fortune, so I go home & everything works fine, but still there is the sound from hell haunting you, I so do hope I’d wake up tomorrow and the sounds would leave me alone me and my mac, and tomorrow will be another happy day.

HiStory


The present is a repetition of the past and the future is a repetition of the present; ultimately its all a repetition of History. And that’s why we study history. After sleeping through 60% of the classes and leaving the class 30% of the time, and getting 61% each term I realized its use. I knew I wasn’t stupid when it came to studying, because one semester I realized I should try and study otherwise i’m very close to failing the course, so I did my best not to fall asleep while reading the material and I got 95/100 on the test. I passed the course and never again took American History again. I can see now the point of teaching it, but surely I’ll never study it again. So this flash back to grade 10, is due to listening to the song Try not to cry- for Sami Yusuf and Outlandish.

My TV Review

About Ramadan TV, the series have stepped away from Big Dramas and deadly diseases. They moved to cartoons and comedies and gangsters, a big movie for the Arabic TV. Mostly they are pointless with week plots, but non the less refreshing.

Cartoons, Tom and jerry have been a while out on DVDs, still didnt find the spare cash to buy it. On Ramdan they got few new cartoons out, Freej; in artistic appeal it is great, but no solid story. Sha'abeyat Katroon, is very funny, and jsut long enough 3-5 mins.

As for My Usual TV series, Veronica Mars is in it second season, I really like this series its some how the 2000’s Nancy Drew. It very interesting, can’t wait for next Wednesday. Shocking that’s about the only show I watch right now, as every thing else just had season finale, and this cable network wont get the new seasons on straight away. Desperate housewives, are really dragging the murderous aspect of the characters. I seriously doubt that many murders and criminals live on one street, they should start the criminal suburban club. Grey’s Anatomy, started fine now, but its not as strong as the ending, I guess its just the way it is hopefully before the 5th episode things will get better.

Movies, so I don’t really go to cinemas much now, but I Really, Really want to see Take the lead, hope it stays on for another 3 weeks. I got couple of DVD I want to buy. I wanted to order 4 brother on TV but huh its out already, so I hope I wont be late on hustle and flow too. I need to buy Arrested Development season 2. I should stop lending my DVDs, so far they haven’t returned Tin Tin, CSI-NYC and arrested development.

“Ouran High School Host Club” anime, is the sort of thin you watch any time, it always makes me laugh even if I was crying. It’s hilarious, a girl dressing like a guy, and a protective club president that thinks he is her father, and then there it the gay-or not- twin brothers, and this childlike senior, its very funny. You really should see it!

Trust the Fingers

So when you don’t know what to do, and can not rely on your brain or heart, then trust the fingers. The fingers method works best, when your drowsy and u don’t have your bearings, or drunk, or high. Simply when your mind is out of it and you cant rely follow ur heart; The Fingers come in place. Like this morning I used the fingers to know whether to wake up and shower or to sleep some more, I showered and I wasn’t late this morning. Then again choosing which parking lot to park in, the Fingers came in Handy. So I put my faith in my fingers.

I wear my seat belt when I drive, and I buckle up my bag and books too, yet whoever sits in the passenger seats do not wear them!! Strange! Anyhow I suggest they wear it and if u don’t the waver their parent’s rights to sue me if we end up in an accident.

To day on the Radio I heard the way to break your fast is by eating dates and laban then praying, then come and eat up and eat in periods.

Revelations

I had my 2nd accident, the bumper need a paint job, the car I hit also needs a paint job, it was my mistake as usually , I didn’t really look when I turned around, luckily everyone was fine the police took their sweet time until they got there, and I was late for class. I don’t really want to take my car to the shop as they will take ages, and schedule cant handle wasted time. One thing for sure I’ll never hear the end of it anytime soon.

I want a Mac notebook, as IBM is proven to be very crappy. Uh Mac’s look nice, my cousin had new last week and since then I want one too. Today I handed in all of my due papers, and now I feel so free I don’t even know what to do.

This is the 3rd day of Ramadan, I’m hungry but I’m glad, its funny how you can still feel good on an empty stomach. I love iftar time I get to have a family meal, in my normal life we ever so rarely sit as a family for a meal. Family time is fun, best of all when all watch TV, or talk about life and stuff. Sadly we always have to get back home as we got loads of home works to do, hopefully I wont have to rush out.

How to Kill a Cow , Click

I’ve always had the wackiest ideas in the room, no matter how outrages they might be I’ll still share them, it not that I’m silly, but those ideas make the day funnier. I think u always should voice your thought, as with out voicing them out they are just prisoners of your brain cells.

Cells, my contact lenses fell out of my eye so I walked of the class and said to my teacher my cell fell out! I was like hmmm what does cell has to do with lenses. Then I realized I never like wearing lenses I used to refuse it completely until the movie Gattaca, the shot when Ethan hawk squeezes his eyes and the contact lenses fall off and everything goes blurry to him, at the moment I warmed to idea of contact lenses. But actually wearing them took me more years.
Anyhow the connection is in Gattaca it was very Sci-fi and there was the whole DNA thing, so in my mind lenses had a direct link to cells!!

Then again my mind work in a very peculiar manner, so hope one day I’ll be rich enough to afford to be eccentric. My way of doing things in no way or manner resemble anyone else but me.

Unreliable sources


Weather is the best in being unreliable at all, on Day its bright and sunny with blue skies, the next day it is a Sand Storm. Today I had my coffee in one hand and opened the door by the other, to find the thick fog waiting for me, and engulfing everything in the backyard. If my car was anything but orange I wouldn’t have driven it in this weather.

So I get in the car and turn it on, its sort of damp so I don’t turn the AC on. I start looking for the car booklet to try to figure out how to turn on the fog lights! last week I found out how to keep playing-back one track from this booklet its VERY useful, luckily my smartness stopped me from throwing it out. So I found the digram and the arrows directing it. I turn the fog light on, not yet completely sure I ask my sis before she sits in to see if they are on, now that I’m sure its all working fine, and I know everyone will be able to see me now. I drive out I barely can see the car that is 3 feet in front of me and everything else is White. For some reason when we reached the long road to school I kept thinking that 3 Witches will come out the fog and linger in front of my car, and my car will be suspended by air and everything will go still around us, it was as is I was driving through the Mist of Avalon. Uh I was Demona in that sec. *One of my ideal characters*
Anyhow now I can say I drove through dust & fog, waiting to drive under the rain.
Can I rely on the weather to rain?

All of the Ugly Places


Summer is over and we just got through the first week of our academic year, for the first time I got to know the other side of my city the Desert-still in construction- side ( where i currently study at). I always had this pretty perception of my city, busy roads with fancy cars, tall glass buildings green views and clean streets. One windy day in the other side of the city and my perceptions changed what I considered to be my big city has become a small student village, with dust and sand to be the dominant part over people.
I can not find the prettiness in this place. Yet my pal visited another ugly part of the city and loved it! I thought it is just plain ugly, and now where I go every day is pretty ugly too, I wish my friend is here to see this ugly place too, I bet she’d love it. The plain ugly place is in the picture above is what she saw and loved. Although she was here at new year so much have changed and I want to show it to her, I can’t wait until I go visit her home in Japan and she shows me all around, I want to see all of the ugly places that she'd might consider fascinating. she has a very different definition of beauty.
what is ugly to me is pretty to others as tehy say beauty is teh in the eyes of the beholder

Dirty New Pages



Its usually said to lets start a new white page or a Clean Slate, This year its a new page/Slate for sure, but it is really a dirty Dusty page/slate !Today we Moved to the New Gigantic campus, its new alright but it sure doesn’t have the smell of a new thing. Like when u buy a new car you sure shall smell the leather, and when u move in a new house the smell of paint still lingers. New thing have this feel of being fresh. But no not this Campus it was mud Hole, our clothes turned Grey and To top it the AC wasn’t working in the part where I spent most of the day, so basically we were dirty and sweaty, that sure isn’t a proper way to start the year off.
Nonetheless I had my look around, and familiarized my self with the place. I saw most of the people I already new, met few new people. All in all it was an alright day. We dis nothing that resembled studying after all our professor don’t have their offices yet and their things are all boxed up. So this coming month will kinda of go slow, not exciting at all.

The commute isn’t very dreadful, We found a kinda shorter way than the one directed on the maps, and there isn’t much traffic there. Its a long way though half off my car fuel have 1/2 dried up in just a day! I used to have my tank to be half empty after a week. This is something I need to adjust my weekly allowance for, I suppose I’ll just ask for separate fuel allowance, lets see how that works with my Beloved Father.

Traffic


Every big city, has the traffic curse, no matter how wide the lanes are there will be a traffic jam. Never mind the highways that are five lanes wide and has a decent speed limit of 120KpH, you will get stuck in traffic. I do understand the traffic we get in my city, you get stuck on U turn because the cars are rushing doing the road. I’m used to it, and somehow it defines the city. Plus you do move just an inch ever minute and half.

In a neighboring city, roads are of 2 lanes and most of the time there is construction going on, so it not only a tight drive but a bumpy one too. A thing I totally despise about that city is every few miles there is a roundabout, I hate them! First they are huge they are big enough to build a villa on top of them. Then the lanes are never lined up properly. Then there is the ugly factor, I never seen an uglier road!

I used to have a very short commute to university, it took 1 min to get out of the garage and into the parking lot of the campus. I was one of few blessed people in that campus, I never had to deal with traffic on the main roads early in the morning. Sadly as we all know good fortune do not last long thou I liked to think I’ve been always blessed, as even when I was at high school it was only a 5 min drive. Now the commute have drastically changed, I have to drive in an extremely busy high way on the outskirts of the city, which well take more than ½ hr to reach the new remote campus, it basically in the middle of the desert, the closest living thing is a 10 min drive away at least. I can no more return home to sleep off my 3 hrs break, nor can we go to the fast food drive thru to grab lunch.

Now wouldn’t it be pretty if the roads look just as the road in the picture in day time too, this is a picture of the street in front of our place at 2:00 am. Pretty huh.

My Car Wash story


Recently I was under a hazy lazy spell, a whole week worth of day time sleeping and night time relaxing and TV watching. So being the wise person I am , I decide to start the day early and do something useful.
I headed for university at 9:30 and it turns out that I was early, so I felt good about that; I decided to reward myself I bought myself a café latte which woke up every cell in my body. So at 10 o’clock I was assigned a job for the next term helping out the IT department. So far so fab.
I decide to take it a step further so I went to supermarket, and bought car wash supplies, a duster, window wiper, sponge and some cloth to dry out the car. When I reached home, the front gate was closed so I went to the back entrance. I got out of the car unlocked the front gate, drove out the house and around it to get to the front gate.
To my delight there was an airlines car parked by the front gate, so here I thought they’ve dropped the maid, which meant she’ll help out in washing my car or do it all. Getting out of the car, the airline driver asks me if there ia a person at this house who has a flight to catch.In misery I answer no u got the wrong house.
I open the gates wide, thinking we should get the gate to open electronically like the back gate, so I drive in the house, my uncle teases us about it and calls it the white house, the pavement is full off dust and the grass turned yellow, and being my all heroic self I got out of the car and started pilling out my supplies to only discover that I didn’t buy any soap. Being the smart person I am I got to the laundry room and got some fabric detergent.
Now I had to find the water hose, I recognize 5 water taps, all linked to different hoses, so thinking to my self I say this should be easy I’ll chose the longest one, which was a yellow hose; only I can not turn on the tap its tight and connected to a generator so I leave it alone and look at the other four. Two were those black strong plastic that had holes in it and it drips water all around the garden, so that wont work. I look at my last 2 resources the 2 green hoses, those too were connected to a water spout; the one that has three openings and like splash the water all around the green. So I tell my self I will deal.
I get my lime green bucket and turn the hose thing on its head down in the bucket then i turn on the water. Water starts to splash all out of the bucket and over me, my shirt is soaking wet my jeans turned heavy and my sun glasses got wet like a swimmer goggles. Eventually I almost half filled the bucket up. I carried the bucket and I wondered how to best use it, here I am thinking this is the simplest thing ever. Before I splatter the water I decide to dust the car off so when the water pours down it doesn’t turn the dust to mud. But the more I dusted the dirtier it got, so I decide its time for the water.
splashing the water on the car turns out to not be enough. I figures that that much water is only enough for a door and half. Now orange metal is glittering under the sun with fresh water dripping of it, so i smile and start taking the trip to the water tap all over again, I did that 7 times to wet the whole car and in the process I myself got completely soaked. I stood back to admire my splashy work and to my dismay I notice the streaks of dirt covering the car! At least before washing it was dust and barely visible; now its very obvious how dirty it is. Not to panic I decide some soap and sponge would do the trick, but only to find that soapy water is worst than clear water! The car is covered in dried soap now!
Its noon and I’m standing under Dubai’s sun in mid august while the temperature is above 40 Celsius, how smart am I. Before I start getting a heat stroke I leave it and decide to take it to the car wash later in the day!

Standing By

What are we doing in this life other than stand by and lie to ourselves. Through my 20 years on this earth I’ve been told I had great potentials, when has having potentials is good enough, we need kinetic energy to fill our lives with energy. We are always told each got their own purpose in life, what is good our purposes if they do not serve humanity, and only serve an individual. Are wee moving in any direction at all or are we swept by the flow of life, do we write our destinies by the choice we make, or is destiny already written and our lives are set and planned our and we are merely setting it in motion, do we in fact direct it or even stir our life.
We are here alive, we move with a flow not set by me nor by you, we chose yet it turns out all to be the same, we stand by when all falls, we stand by when all is glory, we stand by alone or in groups, whatever the manner is wherever we are we are standing by.
Can we in fact take a stand? Can we make our life? Can we change what’s written?
Would we ever stop the lie in which we are greater than we are, we have done are doing great things. In which every one is standing by watching us.
Would the lie ever cease?

Summer Trips

Summer vacation Began and everyone ran, Dubai is to hot in summer thus most of us leave and try to find cooler places, or at least that is the case of my people, one friend went to Prague, and the other left to Italy just hours ago on a school trip, and my other friend is leaving soon to London to work in cancer research centre, and I’m packing up and leaving in less the 24 hrs I’m hoping I’d get lucky and the weather in Scotland will be nothing hot, I’d be happy if it rained everyday :D

Today I helped my friend to pack up for her trip so we stayed up all night as she has to get ready before dawn and leave by it, so there was no point of sleeping and then waking up. So now here I am haven’t yet slept, its 7 30 in the morning already, and I must head out in less than 3 hrs then get home and finish packing. I hope I could sleep the rest of the day off!.

Traveling is fun! Its only the packing the hurts, funny how my bag always seem to fill up. I hope it closes! I hoping for cold weather.

Morality

We think highly of those stand by their principles and those who have a strong values system, and over all we believe morals makes us civilized.

Yet rarely there are any who fits this image, we think someone is for only we know them more we know better than to think them to be like what we first thought.

Why do always aspire for the unattainable, or why do our role models have to be flawless, we only set ourselves to be disappointed. We must have a healthier perspective of others. Whatever seems to be good to be true then most probably it isn’t true.

No one is greater than you unless you think they are, no one is better than you unless you believe that they are. You can stay disappointed by people or you can chose to see the little things that makes us all unique, and for that think they are good.

Parallel universe

We enjoy fantasizing about another life, one which we had all we wanted one where we chose in which family we are born in, we dream of being an only child or having a twin brother. It simply dreams and all in our head.

What if someone don’t only fantasize about another world, but actually speaks of it as if it exists, not as if they’ve gone mad and started mixing reality with fantasy. But they lie about their life to people to make it better! Silly you might think, but there are such people.

I know this person, and what I hear she tells others about her self is so bizarre, why would u say you got no sisters, when you got 3 ! at first I’d assume people are talking about someone else, but eventually it turns out its the same person, and that’s only the start of it.

I start to think she lives in 2 worlds, one in which all she thinks is true, is it possible. is there a parallel universe where she exists in and all of this is true?

Losing Faith

I’m proud of my religion, and I believe I have a strong faith and I’m committed to it. Yet I refuse to believe only my people will be in heaven and all rest are doomed. I believe in my religion and so do others, are we doomed by our beliefs. Faith is our haven in this life, it what makes things better we nothing makes sense.

If we don’t belong to the same faith, does it mean I can’t love you or at least like you. Why are we defined by our religions, and what of those who have no religion, are they all doomed. How come We believe who isn’t like us is going to be in hell. Why can’t we simply hold to our faith with out insulting other faiths. Why it has to be one religion or another, I believe my religion is the right one, but I can’t force my belief on others, why can’t we simply co-exist.

When I say I respect other Religions, and that I don’t challenge them, I'm told that I’m not proud of my Religion. When i say we need to co-exist and let each religion alone, I’m said to be losing faith. Its always said we need to express ourselves and our religion. How is it right to express your self and step on someone else. They say we need to spread our faith the righteous religion why are we so sure that ours is the right one. I’m not doubting my religion in any way. Yet if I say this out loud I’d be said to be losing faith. Why are we the right ones. How come everyone seem to be just doing just well if not better than us if they are in the wrong.

Truly inspirational

There those who shine in life, not because of their intellect or magnificence, but rather shine in their modesty. They do are the ones who do great things and by that they succeed in this life. They shine through the gratitude of others and with the acknowledgment they are overwhelmed. Those people who truly deserve to be awarded those people who inspire me to be a better person.

Today those people were acknowledged, they were rewarded and thanked. And everyone of them wasn’t shining in glory on the stage but rather with modesty, first they thanked others and never in their speech mentioned them selves as driving force, they remained thankful to all.

When u meet someone, and that someone makes you want more and be better as person, that person should be valued highly.

My teacher of SBS, have inspired me to not to stereotype anyone and to accept everyone as they are and for what they stand for, and love them for that.
I believe you must see what person is truly is and only then you can see their potentials.

This Man has been the photographer of the royalties in this land, and when he took my picture all I thought was that I’ll grow to be like these royalties. He made me dream a bigger dream.

Then there were my friends they had worked so hard and never truly complain, today they were awarded and they truly deserved it, and still all they did was say thank you.

Those people inspired today

Face just don't Stare

You don’t put you hand on fire because you know it will burn you, you don’t eat what you know tastes bad, and that’s the way it ought to be. But here comes the people who do everything they know they don’t really enjoy, its one thing to face your demons and another to keep starting at them!, that way you are just provoking them to hurt you. I mean fear is usually a safety reflex, u get scared of what could hurt you and discomfort you.

So I got this friend who just adores horror movies, I for one cant see the point in sitting in a dark theatre half empty, with scary music a disfigured faced, it scares me and being scared isn’t really an enjoyable feeling. So my friends keeps on dragging me into such films. I’m the kind of person who focuses on the film, an hate hearing anything else, this friends screams, jumps, pull my clothes and the silliest part she would actually say run hide to the characters! And she keeps on saying I’m sacred, if your scared why do u come here in the first place, how do u enjoy a movie when ur yelling through it.

Killer Sensation

A killer sensation is when u can’t suppress what u feel and the only way you got express it is by violence. Its when u don’t get what u want and nothing works your way frustration is all you can feel. I’d gladly break something or hit anything by the times, but when I’m frustrated I numb it by digging my nails in my palm, some how it absorbs some of the frustration. Bt its not a total cure, all I want to do is feel better and solve it.

These days I keep on losing my things, one thing I’m sure of where I have left them, but some how is fooling with me, I just want to find my stuff!!!!!!!!!!!

The wise thing and the mature thing is not to get angry and try to solve it in rational way, right now all I can do is hit, kick & cut my pillows! I want to find my things now!

Strange

Its strange how it always seems we don’t find what we want the most, and we never get what we need. Its even stranger that u always have what you do not want or at leas do not crave for.

For instance I’m looking for one book in particular, I’ve found books I haven’t seen for years, but the one I want is no where to be found. my stuff always seem to disappear.

Losing things, is very common in this life, and looking for them shapes our journey in life, and we find them somehow they don’t seem that much important anymore. that is why we lose a lot, for looking and searching is what define out lives and what makes our existence more relevant.

Driving a Car

1259

at 1259 time stopped, 1259 BUMP!!, at 1259 i crashed , at 1259 kilometers new became old, and old became broken.

Poor little Organeeta Garambeta, got a hard hit. OG isn't a month yet, but going back to her manufacture.

I looked the other way, and took my foot of the breaks & tata, straight into an old mans' trunk. OG didn't get damaged seriously; the bumper will need to be replaced. I suppose all is well as the bumper needs a little of paint too.

now I’m back to driving DT, the crappiest car you ever could set an eye on, u can hear DT 200 miles away. none of the mirrors are functional, no AC!!!, no Stereo, the door hands can fall off any minute now, i always feel that if i drove it far it will just fall apart, and i'll be at a street in a seat holding the steering wheel while each part fall off.

DT is as old as I am , 20 freaking years old, machines aren't supposed to out live their users. and to top it all DT is red, so u can never miss it.

DT stands for Death Trap

Changeable Variables

Nothing is constant or forever in life, even life it self changes or simply ends. We all do not like change much as it disrupts out routine, yet it happens and we need to adapt. We should not expect things to run smoothly nor should we foretell change, we simply need to run along with it.

For instant, in my country weekend was Thursday and Friday, but now they are making the weekend Friday and Saturday, imagine saying can’t wait for Thursday!! I mean will movie release dates will be effected to. As long as the weekend is two days I’m fine with it, well this change we know about before it even happens.

But how about things that just simply happens, and they do not just change they simply just end!.

I think everything is a changeable variable, even our own selves we change with time, what once was big is now average, what once was ugly now is beautiful.

Conformity

We live in a world that we count the most, we come first, our need or wants are before all. We seek to be different and standout n every crowd. Yet all we aspire to is very smilar, we want to be the richest the most famous, we want successful careers, a family of our own.

We simply want to be the best at all. Yet all of this is similar how dreams and aspirations is very much guided by what the world defines as the best, and the conforms us.

We all have the Big white houses, with big blue windows, we all got the green lawns, with big palm trees, and high walls. We all got 2-3 cars parked in garage, we all got the maid, the gardener & the driver. We all go to private school and have summer vacation in Europe and winter breaks in snowy mountains. Our lives are very common in style, we try to avoid commonality yet we are bound by it.

Longer, farther & hotter

Things tends to drag on longer than you anticipate, so is this academic year, we still haven’t reached exams week, not the date!!, we still have classes and projects and term papers. I’m wild guessing that we got the longest semester ever, it’s freaking 20 weeks long. And then when we tend to start before everyone else, we start in August!!
To top things up, next year they are moving the university to remote location, and by that I mean the new place is some where far on a high way, and what we got as neighbors are some camels and loads of sand.
It’s a miserable thing, now I wake up before class by 10 minutes I get dressed in 5 & 1 min drive 2 walking, and I’m in class on time. Now the drive it self would take me 20-30 minutes! I hope my schedule starts late in the day next year, as I don’t know how would I manage an 8 o’clock class. If I could summarize this course I’d write a book, so far I’ve written to many pages to count on very different topic, I wonder how its is to be a master student let alone a PHD student.
Considering the climate over here summer break should even start earlier, and car should have the AC built in the roof and not the dash board, when I get in the car my head/face is boiling off and not my hands.

Like all, love some & hate few

I think we first like everyone, and then we decide to hate or love them considering them as a person. It always have been exciting to meet new people, I’m usually open to new friendships and bonds. I can be very social at times, I make friends easily and I’m pretty open to differences as that what makes this world diverse and interesting.
Yet recently I’ve become very wary of others, and the more I learn I think I’m more prejudice towards others. I do make hasty judgments on first impressions, but I soon retract them.

Anyhow this summer my trip will be with people I never knew before the only link I got with them is we go to the same school, yet I never have met them at school I just recently discovered they existed. The thing is I just met the group and so far none are anything like the people I click with, so this trip might be challenging. I’m not making any assumptions yet, I’ll try to know them before I decide whether they are my type of people or not, I hope it all runs smoothly, and i have pleasant trip this summer.
