Pink Moments

It's been a long long time since I was engaged in conversation where I was the topic of discussion. Who am I? What are my family like? Who are my best friends? The place I'm here, would it take me to the place I want to be years from now?

Opportunities come in every unexpected way. They say Allah brings people out of nowhere to help you. And it sure happened to me. Yesterday was my first mentor meeting, and all I was thinking: THANK YOU ALLAH.

Everyday I'm blessed to think of all the great people we are surrounded with. Even those who exist every morning ping-ing to wake up then continue with their lives. I'm lucky!

Picture-wise, Tiara restaurant at the Marina Mall, is highly recommended for those who fancy well fancy food. And the view is just picturesque, I kept murmuring: I feel on top of the world.

Ma7na wa9leen mkan elyoum. Have any of you AD-ians noticed the traffic these past two days?
I wonder what's going on. I better install a tv in the car and watch Friends.

Your Image

That could be the only portrait I have of myself. And it's a funny cartoon drawing I did in Florida. Remi the artist allah yhadah did a great job on bringing out my flows. However, every time I look at the drawing, I just smile. A smile better than the MonaLisa smile.

What's Your Muse?

What gets you inspired! Something you look at and you suddenly go: AHA!!

In any sorta way, let it be science, fashion, business, beauty. Whatever is your interest or profession.

I'm challenged to come up with an idea that has to change/add value to the company. Except, I don't know where to start and what usually triggers new ideas.

Catching Up

"Don't be too offended by someone who is openly Rude, because they might be that way for the nicest of reasons"

Who knew watching Desperate Housewives could be that inspiring. I have spent yesterday's doing nothing except for lounging around the house, reading Outlier and catching up on my favorite TV shows. Oh and I cooked too, my pasta with marinara/white sauce turned out to be delightful. I'm proud of myself.

I'm done with May-to-do list, joining a gym is my top priority. Will see how that go =)

Advice of the Day

Time to Reflect

Enough with the wake up calls, the dreadful mornings, the corrosive talking, the toxic atmosphere. I want a break!

That's it. My "light bulb" moment during a training I had today. I have let a minor situation get to me so bad, that it made me emotionally ill, physically disturbed. Is it all worth it? Absolutely not. Tell that to yourself LuLu. It always starts like this, something very easy to identify, way hard to solve.

All I needed was a break of all of this. A time I could sit calmly and just stare at nothing. Thank god for my Joody. A friend who will come to you even if you were in Antarctica. We drove around with A7lam's new CD blasting off the speakers and we laughed so much at our "Luck"

The Beauty of our Life

Is that we are all different. In all sort of ways possible. It's not our finger prints which are unique. It's us as a whole. And what's more amazing that god created us to be adaptable, influencing and open to everything new. Though it's hard to match two extreme people together, but it's useful to challenge ourselves. Yes Its indeed a challenge.

P.s having your head massaged while listening to Westlife singing " I have a dream" is very inspiring. Lol it could be one of the reasons I chose this salon: their music selection.

Here's for a day filllled with dusted chocolate covered almonds.

Not Expected At All

We grow up learning from our parents. They teach us how to eat, talk, dress up and well behave. What about our beliefs! what is right and what is wrong! how to accept people regardless of their preferences.

Sadly, I realized no matter how parents teach their children all the life-matters, they neglect to teach them how to accept others religiously & socially. And we often see people bluntly throwing judgments and stereotypes at others. Not because they know anything, because they grow up knowing that their parents make the same judgments toward others.

"Open Mindedness" means all the aspects in life. No just accepting what we "prefer" to think is right, and hating what others consider "wrong". I wish if people could make their own judgment and read more books about those certain matters.

The Ladder of Success

Bestie and I started reading Outlier by Malcom Gladwell. Her coming up with the idea to start reading to open up our minds is truthfully why I consider myself the luckiest to be around such fun, amazing and intellectual person. We do need to get out of our life bubble. The same old stuff. Work, shopping, eating out and sleeping.

Outlier draws the attention toward the story of success. While reading it, a sentence caught my eyes: "embrace the struggle". It sums up my current situation. I hope this book teaches me one or two lessons about life, for sure to learn never expect everything is come easy and quickly.

Happy weekends everyone :) a day filled with family, cooking, reading and basically anything other than work and wejaa3 el rass.

After a hectic {boring} day

Doing what we Love the most. Getting pampered. The Cola jellies are essential too. A dose of sugar to keep me going for the rest of the night :)

I went to spinnyes for salmon sandwich necessities, that's when I met Muhammad. One of spinnyes signature people who have been working for over 15 years. Muhammad is as sweet as that cola candy. I haven't seen him since 6 months. That's when I started working, so I told him & he went ecstatic. He even offered me golden advises to excel at work. How sweet. It is indeed very rare to find such humble and genuine people who really consider you as special.

He for sure lifted my mood with his words.

I'm Sick Of

• Living according to their moods. A day they are happy, we are safe. A day they are angry, we're doomed.
• Washing my car at night, to find it in the morning burried under the sand storm
• No healthy choices at the movies. If only there is a low-everything Nachos. Or is that what makes it so special :D
• My impulsive purchases
• My missed up sleeping pattern
• HER
• Me giving up on myself so easily =(

Wisho ba3d!

A weekend to remember

I love Dubai & I love bestie Salama the most.

Room 3701

I'm sitting on this desk, gazing out of the window which overlooks the bustling Sheikh Zayed road from the 37th floor. It's very dark and cold and silent in here. The only sound I hear is my lil sis occasional snoring and cars speeding. Very scary feeling.

I just came back from the most old fashioned wedding ever. Or what I called "Rustic" :P I don't know for a quite a reason I didn't like the guests, it sounded like they were forced to come, forced to dress nice and just sit and stare at others. What happened to the happiness and joy these days!!

Anyway. I had enough fun with my bestie that makes up for that wedding. So doesn't really matter.

"You" ba3d 3imrn 6weeel?

What do you see yourself after 5 years?

A question we have been asked zillion times, whether in job interviews, friends gatherings or even our parents.

My answer! It's illustrated in this pic by well who else than gorgeous Jessica Alba and her Cutie pie. I have this new formed dose of motherhood eagerness that is indescribable in any words.


We all know it's not easy, it's a HUGE responsibility and it's plain tiring. But I grew up where I saw real examples of people being married for over 30 years and they were deprived from the blessing of children and you know what! not money nor social status nor any single thing in the world could replace the sorrow on their eyes when they see newlyweds with tiny children in their arms.

There was this comment I heard and it kept ringing in my head for so long "I don't even have anyone who will offer me a sip of water when I grow older" I'm bad in translation, but the Arabic comment was soooo powerful that I remember like it happened a second ago. Sub7an Allah.

In every age phase, we wish for different things. Like back in University I was known for wishing to be a CEO for a company with an Office facing the beach. In school, I wanted to be a dentist, years years earlier I prayed for god to let win a million dollars :P that was the sum of my after five years wishes. But now I think completely different! all these things doesn't really matter because it was all pure materialistic. It didn't occur to me money and fame will vanish in a blink of an eye. But building a family and spending your life making sure you're paving the way for a whole generation to come, that's gigantic.

Let's be clear here, I still have an endless wish list. And I just splurged on that long awaited Tiffany & Co Gold Cuff =)

But there are hidden wishes that you just feel like it overpowers you and makes your existence in this life worth every second. The key for not regretting your wishes?

Please wish right, do the right decision and think through everything. That's when besties comes in handy. A7bhm.

At the end of the day, we can only say As Rashid Al Majed says:
"يا زين خل الأمور اتصير عفوية"

Thought of the day

I have been going on and on about this comment for a while now. Many issues piled up over my head and after I confessed it to one of my friends she answered calmly: “well my dearest, seems to me 2009 ain’t your year”

It kept me wondering how awful it sounded! I know for a fact I welcomed this year with a bad accident that made me abandon my beloved hobby, a mother-daughter non ending arguments for no apparent reasons and well work! Enough said. But yet I never felt like this ain’t my year although honestly I don’t like the number 9.

Have you had this thought about a Certain year?

Lesson of the Day

Sometimes one Con will outweigh all their Pros

Make them Happy

Yesterday was my first official photography project. A low-publicity event for the orphan kids organized by my company. I was asked to cover the event, however I thought it would be nicer if I offered the kids a portrait of themselves as memory of this day.

If only one thing I noticed in all the photos I have taken. And it really brought tears to my eyes just to notice it was that non of the kids felt the urge to smile at my camera. They just never felt like smiling. It took me a hard time to imitate a smile and my failed attempts to : Say Cheeese please say cheeese! to finally see a smirk over their faces.

And even those who managed to smile, had this sad look in their eyes that was very obvious. I wanted to post one of my favorite shoots but I promised to keep it confidential.

Please my friends. Help others as much as you could.

Ti amo

"sigh"

Andrea oh Andrea.

Let's skip the part where I drove for one hour to get into the concert where it usually takes 2 minutes. Two pills of Advil to curb the migraine attack that was about to hit. Noor & I raced our steps to get into the best seating. And wow we sat on the verrry last seats at the back of the outdoors arena. The view was panoramic. The beautiful emirates palace on our right, palm trees all around us barely standing in front of the super cold wind. And Of course Andrea enchanting on a stage built literally two steps from the sea. It was Out of this Simple world. I never loved Italy as much as yesterday.

Yes. I'm Still Here

Affa! my favorite month of the year passed so darn fast. Lel2asaf =(

I'd rather not say it was a So-So month, the good days "outperformed" the bad ones ( lol I had to use that word, I learned it ams at work)

My birthday is crowned on top of my highlight list. One word: Perfect. More than Perfect. Lovely, full of friends, family, laughter & oh yeah Surprises.

Today is Andrea Bocelli's concert. My one and only Italian affair lol. I just remember how many times I approached those local bands at hotels and restaurants to play "It's time to say goodbye". It triggered my tears in 5 seconds. I loved that song, I memorized it by heart even though I didn't understand one word. Today I'm hearing it live.


Wish you all a happy fun weekend

Great Start

What are Birthdays without great mornings. Accompanied with a bowl of Cheerios and friends. The happiness has filled me since yesterday with those endless lovely msgs I got. Let's just say 90% of them contained the word: Prince Charming & McDreamy ;) well who can't smile at that.

Also, I got even happier when fate took its charm and made my cousin/Bestie "Z" deliver a beauuuuutifull chubby baby boy yesterday. I warned her to wait until my birthday lol how shallow. By the way, she's the same person who had cravings over Chips Oman while she was pregnant.

And Oh the dreams I had yesterday couldn't be more perfect. Kinda so far of coming true, but still, I woke up with an ear to ear S M I L E

Gotta jump into that hot bubbly bath now and get ready for the girlie outdoors lunch today, Yaay.

Happy Birthday Pisces-ians. We Rock & We Roll =D

I give up! thinking of a nice update here at work is useless. Such a gloomy place today. And what's with those continues weird dreams I keep dreaming. One day I woke over cloud #9. And Today it was such a freaky dream. Anyway it might be part of me adjusting to working life again. Oh Have any of you done something fun this holiday?

I spent mine between Dubai & Ras Al Khaimah. I started enjoying the latter more than I thought I will. Certain memories from all the childhood summers I spent keep popping up, and at one point I would be like "Hey does that Bakery Van still comes to the house!
They used to sell the Yummiest muffins & Za'atar mana2eeesh close to grannies house.

We used to play in the massive yard in front with my usual hang out: My bro & cousin Ali. We built our own houses out of junk, we lit tiny fires and buried ourselves in the chilly sand counting the star in a very clear night. These fairytales would be suddenly ruined by uncle Salman. The ultimate discipline commando in the family :P Drink Milk, Eat Veggies, wear shoes outside, Stay 10 meters away from the TV, don't run.. and the list goes on.

There was this time when I was in grade 6 practicing my Karate moves in front of Ali. I wanted him to feel jealous because of my Orange belt lol. Baaam, I guess he was too jealous to hit me right on my lip and it started bleeding a little. I forgot all about holding it up and staying focused and kept on crying. 6ab3an Ali never forgets that day and he keeps on reminding me about it. I wonder if I scared him by telling Uncle Salman.

Although we are not the same 10 years old kids anymore. But when the time comes, we can be that no matter when or where.

I might sound like a person who lives heavily on the past. But I learned that as much as I remind myself that those days were good, it makes me positive that the future will be even better.

P.S I'm turning 22 in few days. Is it a YAY or NAY age!!

Long way to be Happy

A mouth stuffed with biscuits dipped into Vanilla tea & streams of happy tears while watching SATC movie for the second time in a row. How fabulous.

I'm kissing the most relaxing/Peaceful three weeks of my 2009 a goodbye. Back to work on Sunday. So not YAY :P

An Eye Opener

" You don't realize how precious the things you have until you lose them"

Have you ever seen that Friends episode when Ross thinks he was gun Shot while he was riding the police car? where he suddenly understand the meaning of life & sees everything differently.

urrrgh I hate to admit it, but Yes I miss work. I miss me constantly trying to impress them & juggle between my social life & them. I was depressed after uni grad, I became more depressed when I started working. And now it's been a week I'm resting at home after getting into an accident and I keep thinking of the amount of good work I would have been able to present if I was at work. It's really weird for a split second mis-happening, everything just stop. And it stopped for a reason, to show me that I had no right to be upset over going to work everyday and ironically learn something g new.

I even realized that those who you least expect a good deed from, turn out to be the one who stand up for you and help you adjust to that sudden change.

And you know what, I learned that no matter how old you become, your parents will never fail to parent you all over again. Feed you, change your clothes & make you awful-tasting-drinks for your pain to go away.

Here's to everyone who was there for me through it all. You all know yourselves & I'm grateful for this eye opener. It showed me what a real gem you are.

Thinking

Ah I'm in the mood for a beach, a totally empty beach & Abdu's voice echoing 3ala el bal. Perhaps My hair left open for the breeze to play with it

Thanks god for the sweeeeetest dream today. I so longed for that

L

Is it really a type of nostalgia that I remember very tiny details happened a year ago, or that is just a plain mental disorder of Not wanting to let go of these nice memories. And how can I not remember when I'm typing this post while listening to my favorite heart-moving song: Ra3ni by Abdullkareem Abdul Qader.

And speaking of mind reading, lol I mean off topic. I woke up today talking about Bahrain and wishing to go back one more time. Hours later, my brother said out of the blue: "Layla sho rayech we go to Bahrain for the weekend" oh my, I hope he holds that thought till we actually go there. This time I'll make sure to:

• More & more mattay
• Have dinner at Monsoon
• Walk through Moda Mall properly
  
• Get one of these exquesite pearl creations at Al Mahmoud
  
• Al Hawaj perfume shopping & Jashanmall in the morning

I Wish to

• get well soon
  
• bring more joy to my less fortunate family members
• find an alternative to that hobby
• meet prince charming ASAP
  
• eat healthy
• make the yummiest pancakes for Salama
• redecorate the house
• get a BB & the whole photography equipment I've been postponing forever
• finish watching Seinfeld, I know I took so long my friend ;)
  
• Go out with my cousin more often
• remember thanking god for everything
  
• Be Happy x100000

AHA Moment: I realized my wishes are sort of things that need a push, going that extra mile of thinking, it's not so hard to make it actually happen minus the prince charming part obviously lol

For someone who considers "Grocery Shopping" a meaning to fill a Void. I lovelove food. And Since I do enjoy exploring new menus and places, I will recommend my favorite finds from time to time :)

My newest Obsession?

Weekend 23.1.2009

And it died!

My precious 4 years old laptop :P all my pictures, my vedios, my university documents and most of all my wishlist folder. all gone. I came back from dubai excited to transfer all the beautifull picutres I have taken in the days I spent there. Unfortunatly, the screen read "Fan error" and it got shut down. Ya Allaaaah!

I was sooooo in the mood to post. But anyway Dad will take it to E3jaz, who is ism 3ala musamma, a pakistani computers genious. I just want to retrieve everything and throw it away.

This weekend I realized that if you go with the flow, stop planning every single second, the outcome is far more exciting than following anything else. I wasn't even sure i'm going , or even spending the night there.
All I know, everything happened for a reason.

I was blessed to spend the best of the best times with the bestest bestie in the whole world :D loool yeppp that's Salama.

Indulging in the yummiest pancakes outdoors, the freeezzing wind @the beach, and cruising The Walk with "ya 7a'6 3aink" blasting off the speakers. I loved every second of those two days. I enjoyed it so much that coming back to Abu Dhabi felt like a huuuuge burden over my heart.

I drove to work today with my tears all over my face. I don't know what was I sad for! because y3zz 3alay to leave all that fun behind, or because I get to see my bestie once a month or that I feel I grew up so fast and I've yet to get used to working life.

excuse me someone is having an early age crisis :P

Quickies:

A Journal Entry: WOW I got an award for my nonsence lol, thank you soooo much
Phenomenal Zabi: Happy Birthday domestic goddess :D
Noor: Good luck with the upcoming two months, now you have a stronger reason to hate our subways lunch
Salama: I don't care if it ruins ur tiny gamboo3a :P I'm hugging you foreverrrrrr. Lots of Looove

Singing under the rain

Yesterday was one of the most beautifull days I witnessed in the city. The chilled weather, the deep blue sky, the tiny rain ponds formed in the street that I sadly admit it ruined my beloved ferragamo ballerinas. And the fact that I got a new Ipod car transmitter added a romantic touch to the whole atomsphere, think Abdullmajeed enchanting 7baybna.

The Hardest thing is when

You cry over the shoulders of the person who made you cry in the first place.

El Hawa Shargee

o ana galbe haweee el shargeya *Hearts*

I want to Sleeeep, I want to eat, I want to see the people I said goodbye to 8 hours ago.

Evey single time I go there, I come back feeling extreeeeemly depressed and lonely. Laih?

- I get to meet new people whom I bound with very fast then Bam I should say goodbye and return to my life *Winks*
- I love how I'm apprecaited there
- How everyone thinks I'm soooo gorgoues and different <<>
- Granny lives here and that's enough for me to consider KSA my home
- The life here in the UAE changed to be more individualist which I hate so much
- Their Food is ahmaaaazzzzzing

Pause ......

I'm at work now and I felt like I should let it out here. Promise with Pixx to come.

I chose

Life is beautifull when You want to see it that way.

Help moi

Appearanlty, every single employee will be coming to this meeting. I'm kinda confused for what to choose to be showcased! I don't even think my photographs are that good to be displayed LOL. please help me my friends, if you have seen a picture that you absolutly loved loved in my blog and you think it's worth displaying infront of 1000 employee please let me know ASAP

Who knows it might be my chance to el njoomeyah :P

Weekend 2009

Not enough Whipped Cream ?


I never looked forward to weekends as much as I did this time. For the past couple of weeks, things weren't going great at work. Yes! problems and disputes are bound to happen with new people.
However I'm trying to think Positive and the "Let Go" technique by Marshal Goldsmith is working good with me.

Home became more of the place where my heart wants to be every time I feel mistreated at work. And Marina Mall became the place where I burn my credit card to feel slightly happier.

Today morning, I woke up energized! went to practice my new hobby then came back to watch David Letterman show while making me Hallomi Cheese sandwich grilled to Perfection.

Want the recipe? Suuuuure

Ingredients:
- Slices of Halloomi cheese, soaked in water to get rid of excessive salt
- Cucumber
- Fresh Basil
- Sun Dried Tomato/ cut horizontally
- Tbs Pesto sauce *Optional*

Stuff all these ingredients into ur fave bread & toast it until cheese is melted. Enjoy it along with Chilllled Snapple fruit punch :D

- Mabrook Class of 2009. Finally, you did it :D

The 100th: Great Time Flies By

In every year end, we come to celebrate the best moments we have encountered during those 365 days. The days we were blessed to live through, to share what we have and hope for the blessing to continue.

Since this is my 100th post, I decided to remind myself that after 10-15 years, I will go back and say: But you know the year 2008 was so different!

By far, this year was a big roller coaster of events that dramatically changed my life. Made me literally grow up & tickle that spot in my heart that has been long enough snoozing:

• Starting from January with the bestestestest trip I was luckily to be part of. Lesson learned: Travel with your friends as much as you could. No matter how cool and fun are your parents, your friends are triple that fun. Especially when you fly 15 hours away from home :D
• Feb thru April: My internship and the first glimpse at the real world outside the university bubble.
  
• March. My big 21 birthday *Heartsss*
  
• June. Finally graduating university with a smashing GPA & looong vacay to look for.
  
• October. Landing my first official job which I'm enjoying so so much.
• November -December . Starting the one sport I've been De Ja vu-ing about since I was a little kid *details to be disclosed soon :P *

I never made me "real" rosolution list. I just wish ely feeh el5air comes my way.

Wish you all a year full of success and tremendous fun
