DONT ask

happy blogging : )

i'm ALive

Halla hallaaaaaaaaa

I'm still alive!

Finals over!

Moving over!

Word for the wise, never never attempt to move in the summer, it was soo f**king humid and hot, there should be a law against ppl moving in this season.

We just don’t have a phone line yet, hence no internet connection yet! Which reminds me to text someone to get that thing done! I'm currently at the "office". I supposedly start my intership today, and instead I'm sitting at a disk, at the computer, doing nothing. Well not exactly nothing, I'm using the net which for me is a good thing considering I haven’t been on do for long, with everything going on. Waiting for the boss to show up, its past 8.30 am and I still don’t know what I'm supposed to do. Noboday said a think to me. They just told me to wait tell falan comes. Ma 3alina, more on that later as the day progress.

Just wanted to leave a small note, saying I will be back soon with my own blog, and no such breakup or any other assumption ppl had on why we decided to go separate ways. As readers have probably noticed, we have very different blogging approaches. So it would only make sense to go solo evidently.

So keep checking this blog for now, till I have the time and the connection at home to get started on my own blog.

Ta ta

Solo

am going solo with my own blog :

Finals, Moving, and Sleep

Long long week. two finals done and three to go. Cant wait to finish and sleep. I was very depressed the first few days of the week, I still couldn’t get over the death of my friend. I still don’t really believe it or am I able to comprehend it, even now that it’s a week after.

Also we are moving by the end of next week, so things are quiet hectic at home. Its been a bit difficult scheduling my time, between studying, packing my own things, helping my mother out, and the need and want of doing nothing but being my usual lazy self. I feel very guilty in seeing her picking things up herself, I have a duty to help and do it for her, instead of her then suffering from back pains, being the oldest and since my princess sister who has thanywa this year wont do a thing, that’s her excuse for everything the past 9 months. Yes, curse and swear at me when u read this, its perfectly fine.

I've been sleeping a lot to, its like noum ejeer noum. The ultimate escape. Its past my bed time now, and I'm probably suffering from some form of writer's block. So here are a couple tests I took today, don’t u love them online tests??

You're a master at intimate conversation and verbal enticement.You seduce with words, by getting people to open up to you.By establishing this deep connection quickly, people feel under your power.And then you've got them exactly where you want them!

Keys

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to good manners and elegance.

In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

You'd like to your lover to think you are flexible and ready for anything!

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Surprise Call

6:09pm today :

- The Continental GT is ready for ……, come n pick it up
+ Alright, I’ll be there before 7pm

Although sometimes am involved in some local events related to Bentley, but I didn’t get a chance yet for a full test-drive until today. Sometimes I was offered a drive, though reluctantly I say no, to avoid unnecessary liability. I got a rule ! Never drive a car set for display, or meant to be shown for a potential client. There r exemptions of course, no doubt about it, all with do the circumstances. I usually like the driving theme, “Drive it like u stole it !” No kidding, that’s how I drive my car lol ! Well, I wont say all the time, but to some degree. Therefore, if I weren’t comfortable practicing the theme, I rather not test the car. Driving the car normally wouldn’t tell u much about its limits. ummmmm however, we all got different driving habits, n some of us might never go beyond a normal drive at all ! Today I just grabbed it. I didn’t push the limits much ! The Bentley just grows on u ! It kindza transfer u into this so-called aristocratic altitude ! Force u to act like one ! u drive it, n it drives ur lifestyle….was I day dreaming !!! Seems like it !



Picked up the car around 7pm ! WOW !!!!!! a Massive Majestic Preeminence ! Officially Bentley will tell u it propels 550hp ! Unofficially the engine can scream up to ~620hp ! Not all the engines r same since they r handmade. Output varies, n of course to be politically correct, 550hp is the figure for publishing.

The drive was totally excellerating ! It glides on the road effortlessly with immense power from its W12 engine. ur on cloud 7 in no time !

How does society deal with a flashy car !?

1- It turns head
2- Creates envy
3- They give u the way very quickly
4- Those that dont normally greet u will start greeting u for no reason
5- n all those things that r said when u cant reach the grapes ! It’s sour of course

The setback of the evening was getting back into my car ! 1/6 the price of the Bentley ! 1/5 the power !! 1/1000 of the looks !!!! The uncalled calculation of the day !

Maybach Exelero

u might be wondering what the hell is that black car !? It’s the new Maybach Exelero show car !!! It’s based on Maybach 57 sedan, n screams out loud 700hp ! They tweaked the biturbo V12 that runs 57/62, upgraded the engine displacement from 5.6L to 5.9L ! which got the black beast cracking 351km/h @ Nardo !!! Although the design is pretty much striking !!! I hated the fact that they neglected the wheels !! The same wheel design is available on an SL/SLR !! Cheap move ! It shatters abit the whole show car project !

Isn’t love blind !? or is the inner soul that over shines !?

Absurdly Hectic

Lately I came to know of an inhumane hectic working hours !! Victims r employees of a cleaning service company. They r woken up for work at 2am ! At 3:30am the bus is out on the road to the specified job destination ! They return back to their base at 11pm ! yup they only sleep just about 4 hours on their beds ! Ask me how much they r paid, n I’ll tell u no more than R.O.50 !! Absurd !!!!

Many of us grumble of our working conditions, packages, n career advance opportunities, coz we usually compare ourselves with the best, we never usually look at individuals bellow us in standards. It is the usual human gluttony !? To want more, n more, n more, n more !? or r we all too ambitious !? The unsatisfiable little creatures !? We get a car, n it gota be a car better than our neighbors, n it goes on, n on…as if we gona take it all with us to the grave ! At times we just need to sit back, n thank the Almighty for what we already got out of life. It’s too short to begin with.

u c Others

There r very few moments in life where we carryon our deference to a person just coz we know someone else linked to them. It gets even deeper when u r admiring the 2nd. u look into the 1st, n all what u see is the eyes of the 2nd. u keep on looking coz u know the 2nd is far away, yet someone of the same derivation is resembled right front of u. u keep on looking with a concealed smile hoping the 1st wont notice those extra looks. It’s a very small world, smaller than what we may ever imagine.

sad news

Last night at around 8 pm, just after I just started to feel better. I got a call from an old from high school, I haven’t heard from in a whole. We don’t all keep in touch but from time to time we text, and occasionally see each other. Once almost everyone that studies aboard is here for the holidays, we always manage to see each other a few times. I was so thrilled and glad she called, although I could sense a sad worried tone in her voice, I choose to ignore it, I was just so happy to hear from her. Then she was like I have some bad news, Iby 3aadaach 3oomraha… and I think I missed a heart beat. I couldn’t really comprehend it. I don’t really recall the last time I was so shocked and in disbelief. I still don’t believe it even after going to the 3aza this morning.

if I feel this bad. I don’t think I could begin to imagine what her mother and family could feel and be going through. She was only 21, on her way to work late Wednesday afternoon, she was late and was speeding I think and somehow lost control of her car and hit a big truck , it was a fatal car accident, she passed away right there on the spot.

I have no idea how word got out, a friend from Melbourne called crying wanting to confirm what she heard, I hated to be the one to tell her. And we just were silent for a few moments, then we lost it. we just started to cry. It must have been after midnight her time. After that beshiwa another friend who had no idea was calling me from uk to say hi. I told her and dead silence. i tried not to cry this time, but instead be strong and remind her of those special moments and memories we all have of her. Elmar7ouma was so full of life, always laughing and joking. She had this way of making even the saddest worst things seems funny and ok. I will always treasure those moments we shared, seeing ur sleepy face every day for two years five times a week, exchanging notes to pass time in class, occasionally running away and ditching class only to hang in the field. Getting caught cheating and "cheesher". our little code names. I could go on and on and on… but it hurts too much. I always imagined years and years from now, we'd all meet and have our little reunions, our kids would meet and become friends. Exchange 'war stories' and reminiscence.

It will get easier as the days go by, that’s the thing about death, unlike other things, the grief and sadness of it starts out really big and gets smaller easier as the days progress.

How easy it is to take life for granted, when its so fragile and vulnerable. I remember Devilish's first blog entry, am I supposed to just erase her contact from my phone address book?? How do u do that?

There are worst things then losing a friend or a loved one. it’s a mother losing her child. I don’t think I'll forget her mother calling out for her for a long long time. Her voice is carved into my memory forever now. When we went up to her mother to console and give our condolences, she asked us who we were, and when we told her we were Ibtisam's high school friends and classmates… she just looked at us, asked us to always be careful and that she sees her in us. That broke my heart. . . words just lost me then, I didn’t know what to say to her. .

Allah er7mhaaa waa esbeer her family…

I'm BACK

Recently I'm been doing some spring cleaning, going through my things, drawers, boxes, old notebooks, and notes. Anything really that I've managed to save in the past few years. And for the first time I found the power and courage to throw a lot of things away. Things that have a lot of sentimental value and meaning to me, or at least once did in another life time. They just took up too much space, in my room and in the shelf of my memory. Its time I let go and move on I tell myself. I'm I truly convinced? Not really. But unless I take that step and be sure then I'll never really know. Right??

Most times I feel stuck. I keep wondering and pondering when will this "who am i what is my purpose" phase going to be over? I'm tired of waiting, dreaming, and wanting. When will this lonely sinking feeling go away? But in some other twisted way, I'm actually comfortable feeling like this most times. Its familiar and has become my domain. Sick ha?

What would happen if we let go and change our principles, who do we become then? A different version of ourselves? A fake duplicate of ourselves?? Not necessarily a better version or worse for that matter, just different. What's so bad with change? Why are most people afraid of change? Taking that leap of faith and stop "procrastinating"

I'm stuck. In this healthy rage. You think I don’t know I'm neurotic, I can hear myself !!

I have been stuck for a while.

I've also been eating a lot too, I've never used to think what would my next meal would be, now I do. That’s probably not good. I haven’t reached that stage where I've should panic yet. I go through this eating phase, where I eat a lot for two weeks, then I starve myself for the next two weeks, then go back to pigging out. And the cycle continues. I look healthier, but my friends and family still think I look yellow and pale. I cant help if I'm semi-anemic. Its in my genes.

Things just seem to be going too fast for me lately. I haven’t really had a moment to sit down and reflect.

If anybody is wondering why I haven’t been "blogging" recently. my laptop was down for a while, and I was just feeling a bit jaded and like it was starting to turn into a routine thing. And I hate routine. I hate the sense of obligation that I have to get something done. So the only way to cure it and keep myself to looking forward to the idea of blogging was to kill the routine. I still keep a journal which I write myself, but that's different. That’s just a reminder to myself of things I did, with who and any events. I like the idea of documenting things. If one way I lose my memory, or something happens and I pass away, I'll always have my journals and writings to look back to and remind myself. I did do some manual writing of things I wanted to post the past week. But now I read through them and they seem a bit irrelevant. So I started from scratch.

Yesterday I talked to a friend whom I've known for about 6 years. We always manage to lose touch and find each other again. Regardless Its always so comforting and familiar. I remember the little things and I smile. I just wanted to say thank you for being my friend and for always managing to make me feel better. You never seize to amaze me with your spirit and warmth.

Just Ask

When we were babies we used to cry out loud asking for food when we r hungry. Yet these days some human beings r so reluctant to express their needs, n wants for the sake of keeping their ego intact ! I remember reading of an incident where the Saudi Billionaire Adnan Khashoggi, opened a suitcase stacked with a million dollars and asked dozens of ppl whom he invited, if anybody wants it !? Everybody kept silent ! He shut the suitcase, and told them that the million would be anybody’s, if he/she just asked for it !! Glory is for ppl who ask, ppl who r determined to grab it !

Some think that others should identify our needs and wants to fulfill them !? The thing is how can others know our needs n wants without us expressing them clearly !? Even couples don’t get that formula right !

Next time u want something just ask for it ! It’s simple, u just have to demand it. Be it in written or verbal communication !? Most of the time “Asking” is free !? We r not charged for “Asking” !

Brain Wash Out

Don’t u sometimes wish u can take out ur brain cells, n wash out all the matters that r rumbling in ur brains ! I think from time to time we need to clean out all those thoughts that keep on thundering in our brains cells. Imagine the possibility of formatting ur brains just like how we format a PC/Laptop ! Start from blank ! Meaning no memories jolting back, nor life worries to think of, simply coz u don’t know of any ! I think some drug addicts reach such stages ! A clarity of mind like a blank sheet of paper, totally white. ummmmm am thinking, if such a thing is possible, then how often should we do it ? Every year !?

ummmmm its midnight right now, I think am bluffing !!

p.s. I never tried drugs nor am I planning to !!

Nawras 70%

Omanization at Nawras is claimed to be 70% ! If, am not mistaken I think I read recently that Omanization in the public sector is around 60%. If, that’s the case then I think Nawras put off many local organizations to shame. Why shame !? Well, coz Nawras in their first year of operation achieved 70% Omanization, whereas some organizations that prominently claim establishment in Oman back in the late 1800s, still didn’t most probably cross 50% Omanization !! yeah, Nawras might have achieved the considerable high Omanization level as a strategic marketing tool to penetrate the local market with its product, an old Machiavellian method, anything to reach the objective, but thats another issue.

The benefits that some expats bring over to Oman is undeniable in terms of expertise, however we Omanis wont progress unless we r empowered, n provided proper training. I still do hear from many contacts who work for the public/private sector how they r neglected by their management. They r buried under tons of responsibility at work, yet with no proper training. If, we take Japan as progressive example to training, I do remember watching a documentary on their training programs. They take training too seriously, to an extent that some of their companies train their employees how to “Smile” to their customers !

Execution

Tomorrow, Monday, we r expecting an announcement to the trial. Would the judge announce execution for the accusers !? Do they deserve to be executed for storing all those Kalashnikovs, n ammunition !? Do they deserve to be executed for conspiring to change the country system !? How would the outcomes of the trial affect the country tourism plans !? or its international reputation !?

If, the execution took place it might either shock off all whoever think to do anything similar in the future, or it might ignite further mischief from any supporters. It will also tarnish the country international reputation as the execution process is mostly likely gona be blown out of proportion by international media ! The kinda media that likes to create blood sucking heartless monsters out of any Arab or Islamic related cases. Also, relatives of those who r put to execution r most likely to be a perfect stimulated cell for any gov opposition parties. Now who would wana create enemies within our own society !?

What if the outcomes of the trial were just prison sentences !? Would it encourage trouble from other parties coz the above sentence wasn’t rough enough !? Many supporters of the Dhofar opposition in the early 70s were said to be pardoned, in addition to awarding them high positions to look over the past, n unite the country rather than creating unneeded enemies within our local society. Will history repeat it self ? Probably within the next 24hours we will know.

Mistakes

" Experience is the name eveyone gives to their mistakes"
Oscar Wilde

Dan Brown

I’ve just finished reading all Dan Brown books ! WOW ! What an eye opener ! Some of the facts in his books just blows u away ! I crosschecked some of the info, n its astonishing ! A must read set of books I must say ! It’s a mixture of politics, religion, science, intelligence, n history.

Have u ever heard about the NRO that runs on a 10 billion budget !? I never did myself until I read the Deception Point. A thundering storm of scientific, n military details blazing through a dreadful political deception plot !

Can the victors rewrite history to their likings !? Is history about historical facts, or orchestrated lies !? a 2000 year old conspiracy !? wana know answers check The Da Vinci Code. An electrifying breathless conspiracy-theory journey !

Digital Fortress, for those techno savy readers, enter the complex of intelligence maze ! Get intrigued by the secrecy of NSA. A cyber-techno thriller. “Who guards the guards,” !?

Angels & Demons is the kinda ultra history flashback novel ! A maze within mazes of mystery ! An aircraft that zips the sky at speeds over 10,000miles !!!? The secret brotherhood of the illuminati !? The secrets of the Vatican leaked with astounding info ! CERN !? The world largest particle physics laboratory. This is the novel that started my Dan Brown books marathon of reading.

The Sun and Gloves

Today while on my way to class, I saw this dude driving around with gloves on! I just had to laugh. Every year when its summer, I say to myself this time I'm going to buy those white gloves and actually wear them, but I never do. For many reasons, most obvious one, is being my usual lazy self, and the need to procrastinate. And the fact that its kinda lame. Not a lot of girls/women I know do wear gloves while driving, but I've seen some of them around town. Anyways, this guy was driving around in his red car with those white gloves on. I thought u poor thing, u don’t want to unbalance the color tone between ur hands and the rest of you. while in class I told my friend and she told me, why u so judgmental? Maybe the guy has a medical condition or his skin burns really fast. Humm I hadn’t thought of that then, that could be possible Anybody wears gloves while driving during the day? Why and why not? What do u think of those that do wear gloves? If u do even have an opinion? Or u just don’t care?

Black Magic

It’s a tragedy ! We as Omani’s get very defensive when someone abroad points out the black magic cases in Oman. Yet we hear, see or experience such things in our life in Oman ! yeah it’s a tragedy !! Very recently I was devastated to learn of such a case. A person who dedicated all of their time for their family well being is been struck with some evil black magic !! It wasn’t the first time, n from the track record it doesn’t seem to be the last ! It is a tragedy when one learns that they got a family that depends on them. It is a tragedy when this person starts acting very funny, n utters motions that doesn’t relate to their true personality, n soul. Their soul is tortured by some evil act of cowardness !!! It’s a tragedy when the person who is responsible for all this evilness is blood related ! How can we be so evil toward our own blood !!? How can a human being strip themselves from all humanity, n unit with evil. Tragedy is when their own loved ones stand hopeless whatsoever towards a hopeless case.

DairyQueen @ Lulu

Probably the only place in Muscat that serves some real hotdog !

Lights… Camera … ACTION !

Last Thursday I went to see "The Interpreter" starring Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn (both Oscar winners, but who really cares?). Ma 3alina… I enjoyed it, it wasn’t a typical movie, there was more to the suspense and the drama then most movies. I like the dialogue of the movie, the choice of words they used. Maybe Sean Penn tried too hard with his facial expressions but that’s him. This isn’t a post to review the movie. This is really an attempt to try to understand the system the movie theaters work here.

The Interpreter started showing here in Wednesday the 20th, while it hadn’t yet starting showing in the us, it starts today the 23rd. On the same weekend, in shatti plaza, also showing "In good Company" which I'm not sure when exactly it came out but I'm sure it has been more then two months. I remember in the world premiere of E-men 2, it started showing here before the uk and us, since our weekend comes first during the course of the week ( Thursday and Friday) as opposed to the rest of the world (Saturday and Sunday).

What I'd like to understand is who decides what movies show first? And when? What sorta system is there?? how come some movies NEVER make it to the big screen here? And how come some movies take weeks and weeks to start showing, and others within few weeks, and in some rare cases first here?! Who decides all this? is it the movie producers? The disturbers? And on a more local view, is it the theater owners who get a say on what gets showed and when? Or is it who ever is in charge of the censoring that gets the say? Is it the ministry of information with the scissors? Or the ministry of culture and heritage?

Also I think people should have a choice, the public… if they want the movies they are paying 2 rails or slightly more, to be censored or not, hell the people that are offended and have a problem with that sorta thing don’t really go out and see movies now do they? I could be wrong, but I doubt it. There needs to be a rating system too and it should be implemented in the theaters here. Not all movies are appropriate for kids. Theaters r happily making money off of them, unsuspected parents are proud of themselves for letting their kids go out and have fun, not to mention getting them out of their hair. What does the driver/nanny/maid know about the movie contents are?

Back again to that people should have a choice, there should be two versions of the movie on screen, the uncut uncensored one, and the one that is censored for those that prefer it. there should be a limit also to what is allowed to be censored, if it goes above a certain quote of mins, they shouldn’t bother showing the movie in the first place, or at least issue a warning when u buy ur ticket saying taraaa xx mins is cut from the movie. Might not be a very economic idea, but people should have a choice. I can rent and buy the dvd uncensored right here in Oman or even bring it with me from aboard or buy it and have it shipped and it still remains uncensored, so what is the damn difference??!

illuminati Diamond

I fell in love with the above "illuminati Diamond" ! Notice how the four pillars of science are engraved so artistically !! Earth, air, fire, n water ! Leave alone that u can read it even upside down !! Magnificent !!!

BMW vs Cadillac

The above is part of an ad to introduce the new Cadillac STS in Oman. As u might have noticed, the covered car is the new BMW 5–Series ! The question is, how did the local BMW agency allow for such thing ! Surprisingly, it happened coz both agencies are owned by the same person !! However, would the same person allow the above, if Cadillac agency was of a competitor !? ummmm mostly likely NO !

Apprentice of Goebbels

Once again the gov is too lenient with the traitors !! Way too merciful !! I think they need to employee an apprentice of Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Propaganda to manage the country counter terrorism propaganda !! Sheesh !!!! The media coverage is pathetic !!!! They should have leveraged the utmost of these gibberish conspirators confessions !!!! They should have showed the nation the trials, traitors testimony, n their so-called cry for forgiveness !! Citizens should be shown the Kalashnikovs, n ammunition that was stored for the destruct of this peaceful nation !!! Citizens should stop taking the security that they r in for granted !! Citizens should wake up for once n realize that its No joke !!! They just need to look around how neighboring countries r suffering in terms of local security !!!

Scales

Psychologically, we are all complex mixtures of hope and fear. Each day we wake up with the scales tipping a bit one way or the other. if they go too far toward hopefullness, we can become naive and unrealistic. if the scales tilt too far the other way we can get consumed by paranoia and hatred.

Find the balance that works

Wendy's

A woman who claimed she scooped up a human finger in her chili at a Wendy's restaurant has decided not to sue the fast-food chain, her lawyer said Wednesday April 13, 2005. Anna Ayala is dropping her claim because the police investigations, DNA tests, a search of her home and intense publicity have 'been very difficult for her emotionally,' Attorney Jeffrey Janoff said. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)

Wendy's Trying to Solve Mystery of Finger

Is the above story true !? Is it a hopeless try from Ayala for a hefty $$$$ law suit claim !? How is Wendy’s dealing with the its reputation crisis !? Might it be a conspiracy by one of its rivals !? Is business so dreadful these days !? Shredding the following article might shed some light, am presuming its part of Wendy’s PR campaign (abc of marketing says an article is far more credible than an ad) :

By KIM CURTIS, Associated Press Writer
ummmmm so r associating with a reputed press agency

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Somewhere out there is a woman, dead or alive, who is missing a well-manicured finger about 1 1/2 inches long. Authorities know where the finger ended up — in a bowl of Wendy's chili — but just who it belongs to is a mystery.
The allegations is still clear, though a hint of conspiracy in the last line !

Anna Ayala's claim that she bit down on the finger in a mouthful of her steamy stew on March 22 initially drew sympathy. But when police and health officials failed to find any missing digits among the workers involved in the restaurant's supply chain, suspicion fell on Ayala, and her story has become a late-night punch line.
Now the story is firing back at Ayala ! Notice how they highlight the authorities report for a legitimate voice, authorities always say the truth don’t they ; )

"She went back there for lunch today — she's trying to collect all five," quipped David Letterman.

Jay Leno joked: "Instead of a spoon, they serve it with nail clippers."
Mocking lines from famous LateNightShows, oh yeah it’s a joke alright ! or at least trying to sell u the issue as a joke.

For executives at Dublin, Ohio-based Wendy's International Inc., it is anything but funny.
Moment of truth !

Sales have dropped at franchises in Northern California, forcing layoffs and reduced hours, the company said. Wendy's also has hired private investigators, set up a hot line for tips and doubled its reward Friday to $100,000 for information leading to the finger's original owner.
Ouch ! Thats hurts ! layoffs !!!! in other words, go n grab a Wendy’s or else more workers r gona be thrown out the window ! Yes, u r responsible ! The art of making the public feel sorry n guilty ! Make the normal citizen part of the solutions ! A comeback on everybody’s cost !

"Our brand reputation has been affected nationally. We are determined to find out what really happened," said president and chief executive Tom Mueller. He said Wendy's employees have passed polygraph tests, and "there is no credible evidence that Wendy's is the source of the foreign object."
Polygraph test ! OMG !! a National espionage episode ! Did u see the spy ! Where is the spy ! No, no, no ! They said “foreign object” ! Thats more like UFOs ! Unidentified Flying Objects !

DNA tests are being done on the finger. A partial fingerprint failed to turn up a match in a national database.
They r assuring the above UFO theory !

Health officials said it is apparently a woman's finger, because of the long, manicured nail. But investigators will not say which finger on the hand it was.
Oh a female Alien ! I see !!

Ayala hired a lawyer and filed a claim against the Wendy's franchise owner, Fresno-based JEM Management. But after police searched her home in Las Vegas and continued to question her family, she dropped the lawsuit threat, saying the whole situation was just too stressful.
Was it too stressful !? or was she handed a hefty compensation cheque signed off with a nondisclosure agreement !!

"Lies, lies, lies, that's all I am hearing," Ayala said after police started questioning her. "They should look at Wendy's. What are they hiding? Why are we being victimized again and again?"
The above is placed just in case u thought it might be an article paid by Wendy’s ! a safety point, just making it genuine

As it turns out, Ayala has a litigious history. She has filed claims against several corporations, including a former employer and General Motors, though it is unclear from court records whether she received any money. She said she got $30,000 from El Pollo Loco after her 13-year-old daughter got sick at one of the chain's Las Vegas-area restaurants. El Pollo Loco officials say she did not get a dime.
Oh ! she got a track record of mischief ! How dare she challenge corporations ! This paragraph blew up the one before !

The San Jose Police fraud unit joined Las Vegas police in the search of her home there, and officers have questioned her relatives. A family friend, Ken Bono, 24, said the warrant indicated police were looking for a cooler, a blue bag and "any family documents about anybody dead."
ahm ! Ayala might be a serial killer after all ! Now think again before u challenge a corporation ! God knows what they gona lebal u !

If police do obtain evidence that Ayala planted the finger, she could face charges of fraud, extortion or making false statements, legal experts said.
Some serious stuff ha ! Day light warning ! Don’t u dare pull out something similar on corporations !!

Back at the Wendy's where the chili was served, customers seem convinced the tale of the finger was a scam.
“been convinced” they sold the readers ! r u convinced yet ! or do they need another article/PR campaign to sort u out !!
Ha ! r u still sitting there ! Go grab a Wendys before they come n grab u for conspiring this with Ayala !!

"There's too much in this country today with people trying to get things by conning them out of it. Wendy's has been good for years," said longtime customer 81-year-old Ralph Woodman. "How the hell would you get a finger into the pot without seeing it in there when you're stirring it? It had to be some sort of screwball ruse."
Good God ! They had to bring the oldest customer alive didn’t they ! an 81-years old ! At that age they wouldn’t tell a lie would they !
u r eating Wendys right now aren’t u !!
good good
Claping !

Check her out !

Being single in the so called conservative local society isn’t something very pleasant these days ! u’d be a target of everybody u know, asking when r u getting married !? ppl try to persuade u somehow or another to get married ! Around 8am yesterday, I got a sms from someone advising me to check out a gal before she flies away ! I replied saying let her fly ! The other day at work one of the female colleagues was suggesting that I should checkout her sis !! What is going on !! Was I carrying a big board on me saying, “Single n desperately Looking” !? The bizarre offer of them all was when I was told what I thought of a gal I saw at a gathering !! The question was asked 11pm, n they wanted an answer by the morning, so the arrangement to propose to the gal can be done at once !! WOW !! Was it like less than 10 hours to decide on a supposedly life time partner !? Did I say Bizarre !! An impulsive answer, No ! I didn’t wana even think of it !

Yeah, I know, the above mumbling sounds silly n stupid !

r elders conspired to get rid of us !? Do they actually need that extra room at home !? Is it gona dramatically create an easier budget once one is a minus at home !? yeah yeah, u guessed ! I was sarcastic ! Thinking of it, elders do need to worry about our mental stability once we cross a certain age ! What’s their exact motive !? Making us happier !? Does marriage actually mean happy !? Looking at examples around, yeah maybe !? Depends which example u r looking at ! Most of the guys would say, “I wished I waited a bit more, I might have gotten a better example of a female !” Gals would probably say, “Now, now I gave up my freedom for this freak !” lol “he isn’t even worth me.” Back to the motive issue ! Elders might be in an urge to see their third generations maybe !? Or it might be just another ritual in the family ! Everybody gota be married at a certain age !!

Pope – Conclave

Pat Oliphant

The process to select the new Pope will begin tomorrow, Monday. For detailed info check out : The Pope Blog: Conclave Edition

Kia vs Benz

Three years ago an expatriate joined one of the local companies. A very hard working person I must say. I worked with him close in several projects and he is totally workaholic. He was first given a Kia to drive around by his company. His hard work paid off a year later, got promoted and given a midlevel European car. Just very recently he was once again promoted and given a brand new Benz by his company. Don’t misunderstand me here ! am not saying he doesn’t deserve the promotions or the Benz. All what am trying to say is how would it be possible for a local to compete with an expatriate !? How fair would the game be !? An expatriate like the above example is working abroad far from their country to build a career and save a fortune. Their agenda is very clear, “work as hard as u can to save as much as u can.” Therefore, they don’t mind much working to very late hours, nor have any social responsibility to distract them from working, whereas, we locals usually got a never-ending social obligations and commitments. Can we compete !? We might if we threw all our social obligations behind our backs, though we r gona be cursed for sure. On a personal level I usually get some hefty remarks whenever I extra work, be it from friends or family. It gets into me that I cant compete with an expatriate. It gets into me that they r given the chance to grow coz most of their superiors r of the same skin. No ! I don’t envy his Benz, but I do envy that he doesn’t have any social obligations !!

WickeD on memories, girls, starvation, and marriage

Don’t know where to start really, so many things have happened the past few week, I'm just grateful this week is over. so to start my blog with my random not necessarily logical or useful thoughts:

The past two years, I've tried so hard to erase a certain memory, now that I have forgotten , it actually scares me that I have. I thought I'd be relieved or lighter in a sense the weight of that bad experience is gone. but I'm not, I'm actually terrified. I now have no memory of it whatsoever. Months and even years later once you do forget. Once you have everything blocked out and forgotten. You face an empty phase of your life and u are remained with nothing. Void. Every little detail is gone. never to come back. You'd be welling to do anything and give anything to get back those memories as painful they might be.

I had no idea girls could be so evil and jealous. Instead of working in teams and trying to do something productive, some girls are overwhelmed with jealousy. You can see it, in the way they herd together and make their little plans to strike you out. What is so amazing about the white is that it highlights the black even more, there is this saying that translates into "not everything that shines is gold". I have always considered myself a good judge of character, but I've learned I'm not. . it took a slap or two to the face to realize I'm not.

Why are more adolescents prey to depression, eating disorders, addictions and suicide attempts than ever before? What is it with women's tragic quest for thinness? When I ask this out loud, I'm considered insensitive and mean, because I've never had to worry about my figure or weight. but that doesn’t mean I don’t realize the pressure others go through. All though the most boring kind of conversation for me is when women start exchanging diet "secrets" and tips. that just puts me to sleep 3ala doul. But really Why is this happening? Why aren’t they happy with their bodies?

I cant help but to wonder, how people get married here in Oman? Aside from arranged marriages. Which don’t happen as often anymore (or not, I could be wrong??!) How do couples meet? Other then through family or being distant relatives, family friends, anything in that domain. Someone that is a total stranger, u don’t work with, don’t really have any mutual friends. And if you do see someone u are slightly attracted to, how would u approach him/her?? Aside from the shallow cheap tarqim. . . and if Someone would approach u, how do u even know what their intentions are? No matter how modern or "civilized or urbane or sophisticated" <-- (for lack of a better word) we might get, in the end we live in Oman and are Omanis, hence conservative and traditional middle eastern society and culture. So how does it work exactly? How do married couples meet?

Armada

I was passing by the local LandRover dealer when I found an Armada (above pic) parked right front of Land Rover service dept ! No plates whatsoever !! Seems like a publicity stunt to make ppl talk about the Armada before its local official launch ! I caught them taking it away as well ! :

GM Pulls Ads

GM Pulls Ads from Los Angeles Times Over Coverage

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -"General Motors decided this week to cease advertising in the Los Angeles Times based on strongly voiced objections from our dealers in California about factual errors and misrepresentations in the Times' editorial coverage," said GM spokesman Brian Akre.

Back to the theory that we only read what corporations wants us to read ! At least this one was made obvious ! Likely don’t expect other publications to critizise GM products otherwise they’d be facing similar threats of ZERO ads from GM ! What is cheaper now !? Firing a reporter who is paid a couple of thousands or ignoring millions of $$$ from GM ads ! Obviously newspapers nowadays depends largely on ads to run their news business, therefore they’d end up only publishing what suits their $$$$ clients ! Why make the cow mad when u can milk it !!

Oman Sports Future

On last Wed, 6.4.05, I’ve attended a seminar on future of Sports in Oman. A pretty interesting step towards formulizing a national strategy for sports for the country’s next five year plan (2006-2010). Mohammed bin Hamam, President of the Asian Football Federation spoke during the seminar with a very interesting insight of how marketing of sports can place countries on the international arena. For example, he mentioned how a market study revealed that South Korea brands achieved a massive global exposure through the 2002 FIFA World Cup !! An exposure it would only achieve after five years under normal circumstances !!! Staggering I must say !!

# Plate

Someone stopped me the other day for my car number plate ! It seems like all his cars got the same number, but different letters. Also, his mobile, n house numbers end with the same plate number ! ummmmm I’d give up mine once I find someone willing to give me thier #666 !

Blog glitches

Lately am getting very late blog updates for blog comments & posts by email !! am I the only one who is facing this !? or is it a common glitch !?

OmanAutoClub

Last Friday I was at Oman Auto Club for the first competition of ’05. They’ve got a tight go-kart circuit in which cars r competing for best lap time. ummmmm in previous events there were many new sports car, however in this event there were few.

The leading drivers were from UAE with their Renault Clio Williams !! They brought two !! On the other hand, very few Omani drivers had the same expertise, n equipped car for this event. am not sure where they all vanished ! Probably very few were informed ! I was there ! I enjoyed the gathering, though it lacked entertainment ! I wasn’t entertained ! Oman Auto Club got a huge potential. They got a very strategic location ! Their land is probably worth millions ! Its huge ! Will it make a difference if it was handled by a sports events management company or would they over charge people !

Mr.Bean attached as a joke !

The crowd was there alright ! They tried to jinx the drivers from UAE, but it didn’t fully work ! The drivers from UAE took the first three places.

This UAE driver got jinxed after he dedicated his lap to Oman lol ! The crowd was boooing all the time !

Sleep Patches

Its official, I'm addict to Cherry Coke. I'm always preferred Coke as opposed to Pepsi, I'm not sure why. I have this impression that Pepsi is this cheap knock-off of Coke Cola. (sorry Kazablanca, I read on ur blog u love pepsi). I've also been eating a lot of Tola, I'm not sure why. I go through these phases where I stick to a certain type of chocolate for a while, then I get tired of it and then move on. I used to only eat Tola if it was cold straight right out of the fridge, but now 3addi. I'll eat it anyways. Just some random thoughts. Through out the day I'd be thinking or I'd come across things, and I'd think here is something to blog about, but once I get in front of the screen, my memory refuses to cooperate with me. and some things are a little too personal to be blogging about. And I value my privacy and for the time being anonymous. Less then a handful that read through this blog actually know who I am, or so I think. It could be more.

Have u ever meet someone, and they seem to have more then one identity, more then one personality. I'm not talking about having multiple personalities or any of that Freud psychological stuff. But on a less extreme level, they just seem different, like they aren’t able to find a balance between the many personas he/she may have. This probably makes the person unpredictable, hence even interesting and intriguing at first. But what when you cant decide what side you like better???

I've decided to quiet sleeping after lunch, you know like you would quiet smoking… this is how bad I'm addict and badly need to sleep in the afternoon. There isn’t really much to do that time, and now that summer has official arrived, its just so much easier to get under the covers under the cold air conditioner. Today was the first day, lets see if tomorrow I can keep it up. They should seriously make patches for this. wish me LUCK . I'm going to need it.

Bored

People (and bloggers) all around me are complaining how bored and jaded they are. I cant help but wonder what that really means. Define bored. There is always something to do, somewhere to go. Not necessarily a new thing or place. But instead of sitting there talking and bitching about how bored it is, do something about it. its really a state of mind, the more you convince yourself of it and the more u say it, the more bored you start to feel. The only places I feel really bored, are in class, but then I always have a way out. I go somewhere else in my head, text msgs, or just starts to scribble stupidnothings in my notebook, pretending to be writing down really important notes and points.

If you are bored, make new friends, or rediscover your old friends that you haven’t seen in a while. Take on a new hobby, project, learn something new and foreign. Take time to give to the community and society, charity work, or environmental activities, whatever, the list is never ending. There are so many ways to make use of your time.

For many of us, our lives are so filled with stimuli, not to mention responsibilities, which make it almost impossible for us to sit still and do nothing, much less relax-even for a few minutes. “People are no longer human beings. We should be called human doings.” They live their lives as it its one great emergency.

Allow yourself to be bored. At first you’ll think, “Why on earth would I choose to be bored?” The answer is that if you allow yourself to be bored, even for an hour-or less- and don’t fight it, the feeling of boredom will be replaced with feeling of peace. And after a little practice, you’ll learn to RELAX.

I’m not talking about hours of wasted time or laziness, but simply learning the art of relaxing, of just “being”, rather then “doing”, for a few minutes each day. There isn’t a specific technique other then to consciously do nothing. Just sit still, notice your thoughts and feelings. Each day it will get easier. The payback is tremendous.

Much of our anxiety and inner struggle stems from our busy and overactive minds, always needing something to entertain them, something to focus on, and always wondering, “What’s next?” While we’re eating dinner we wonder what’s for dessert. While eating dessert, we ponder what we should do afterward. After that evening, it’s “What should we do this weekend?”
The beauty of doing noting is that it teaches you to clear your mind and relax. Just like your body, your mind needs an occasional break from its hectic routine. Allowing your mind to take a break, it comes back stronger, sharper, more focused and creative.
When you allow yourself to be bored, it takes an enormous amount of pressure off you to be performing and doing something every second of every day, now when someone tells me “I’m bored” I respond by saying. “Great, be bored for a while. It’s good for you.”
You probably never thought someone would actually suggest that you allow yourself to be bored. There’s a first for everything.

Lexus Taxi

I cant understand why would anyone buy a Lexus for a Taxi ! Whereas, they would save at least R.O. 6k with an economical sedan !!

Topless

Expressive

The pic is very expressive ! No wonder other tennis players complain they don’t get enough publicity ! They r over shinned by Kournikova !!!

blah blah blah

Long week, I haven’t attended any classes this week! Not after my midterms. But in the end all the hard work seemed to pay off, the conference went and came, trouble and error free hamduallah. Everything ran smoothly and according to the program and time schedule. My feet felt numb at the end of the first day. I woke up at 5am Tuesday to be there at the Bustan at 7am, and had to stay there all the way till after dinner, the dean insisted we stay, even though the sessions were over, and our jobs and tasks were over, we stayed and I came back home at 10 pm. The next day we started at 9 am, so we had to be there at 8 something. I had a hard time waking up. Lack of sleep can be lethal, yesterday the whole time my right eye was tearing and watery, ppl thought I was crying or something, but if they looked hard enough they would notice it was only my right eye, and I've never heard of anyone crying from just one eye! And FYI I don’t know how to cry just tears, when I cry I wail moan etc! its probably the khol too, I cant seem to use it early morning without my eyes tearing up. Is that normal??

It was a good experience, I got to talk to some professors and experts from the states, Tunis, Malaysia, Iraq and some other places. I even got a part time job offer! I need to catch up on my studies though. So next week isn’t going to be a ball either. As a student it built my self confidence, not that I lacked any, but anyways, we worked really well as a team, we were almost 22 girls with a supervising teacher, and we managed to pull it off, all of us doing something like this for the first time.

Yesterday before the sessions started, I got on to stage to welcome everybody and etc etc.. and while I was reading through the paper, i didn’t realize that I jumped to the part I was supposed to read after the break, I had only said the first two words when I realized my mistake, and being the goofball I am, instead of saying excuse me and gracefully pulling myself away.. I said OOOPS sorry, and then I laughed at myself which made the audience and the speakers on the panel to laugh too! I'm not sure if it was AT me or WITH me! I was so embarrassed! But everyone said it was ok cause it came naturally and spontaneous, so I guess that’s ok. Thank god I didn’t do anything stupid at the opening ceremony when all the vips and guests were there! I blame it on the lack of sleep, exhaustion, and the damn flash in my face. Not to mention the condition my eyes were in, so yeah after all I'm human! Lets just say, it’s a good thing I stopped at just saying oops sorry and I didn’t gasp! I'm famous for gasping…! Ma 3alina

The board invited a lot of ppl to attended the conference, but the thing I noticed most people, that is people from ministries and other government institutions, the only stuck around for the opening ceremony and then for the break after that, once the sessions started and presentations, they all left! Only a few ppl stayed. Didn’t think that would happen, everyone was going around saying how important having these conferences and communication with others to find solutions blah blaah blah and other mottos and newspapers talk, but once the camera went off and the "important" people left, everyone else did. But I guess maybe that’s a good thing, that way it would filter out the people that are really serious and interested in actually learning and gaining from the papers being discussed, and from the people that are there to have their faces in the newspapers.
I'm not sure it was a success, depends on who the target audience was, students, faculty members, the guest speakers themselves? Or the local public???? Was it really worth the trouble? Finance , time and effort wise?? Since the attendance rate was so low from the public?

College financed everything, from hotel rooms, air tickets, transportation, the conference venue, at the dinner the first day , they had a folklore band and dancers come in from Sur to entertain them, the booklets, and translation fees, photographers, video, etc… so many other things I cant recall now. It was a bit difficult to get sponsors, a bank that makes millions and millions, after some struggle only pinched in 1k. I doubt there will be a second conference next year, but who knows… maybe! But on a smaller scale…


Random thoughts: The things we forget may as well never have happened, but I have many memories, both real and illusory, and that was like living twice.
