From: nada To: other nada June 24, 2009

Hey other nada,

 

First, IT TOOK ME AGES TO READ YOUR EMAIL!!!! But I enjoyed every bit *winks*. Sorry about not staying in touch but I didn’t know what number to contact you on!! Anyways, I wanna tell you about some of the stuff going on here (here, as in my head) so that you don’t feel disconnected ^^.

 

So summer courses started – oh, and today was the second time I saw DD ever since the summer course started =O !! So summer school started and those raccoons invaded the PI (I would’ve said monkeys but monkeys are funnier!). It sucks, so I suggest that when we take over the world .. we ban them from ever coming near PI again!! Oh, and I want NADA fireworks on the day the earth is ours. And, I say the earth coz we should keep on going and invade more planets. I want Mars and Pluto, btw =P.

 

Leadership course is really interesting but I hate filwa for attending the class and getting to enjoy it without actually having to do all the work >.>

 

What does it mean when a teach winks to you??!!!! I find it very confusing. I mean what message am I supposed to receive here!! Did you like my work? Are you flirting? Is there dirt in your eyes? Hmmm … confusing! I think they should stop doing that!!

 

I was at the conriche yesterday with my sis when a bunch of guys on jet skies spotted us. They came so near, it scared me! Then I saw this guy waving and guess what, he wanted to give us a ride!! Seriously! Honestly, I was dying to try it out but not like thaaat!! So we ran away. 7uuuh, and when we reach the car we saw this gay guy! He was like nothing I’ve seen before. Eww, the real deal!

 

My friend lama came from Egypt last night \o/. I saw her today. Soo happy. Her mom put on some weight but she looks adorable! Dana and m7ammad (her siblings) grew taller, but she didn’t change! It’s as if it was yesterday when I saw her for the last time.

 

Saturday is  hind’s birthday and sara b’s wedding. I wanna attend both! I think I will! But let’s see; the birthday thing is from 4 to 6. I can go directly from there to the hairdresser. Hm, I’ll be optimistic and say that will take an hour. I’ll come back home and get ready in hour. It’ll be 8 and I’ll still have like an hour to get there but I only need 15 coz the hotel is close to our house. Ops, I have an essay due Sunday!

 

We’re going to Qtr on the 15th of July =D *very excited*

 

Will send you again when I have more to share ^^. Xoxo

 

Say hello to Egypt =P
Oooooh, I want pictures!! Lots of pictures. Random pictures of Egypt.

 

Love,
Nada

AnnoYinG! August 29, 2008

Hey you all *waves*

 

This post is gonna talk about >some< of the things that annoyed me during the past few days.

 

First, I’ll talk about a certain behavior that I really hate. It goes like this:

 

Ring .. ring .. riing ..

 

Nada: Helloooo … how are you?

 

Person: Heeey .. I’m good .. Where have you been? Are you that busy or did you just forget about me? I heard that you called *another person* the other day? So you miss *another person* more than me?!!

 

EXCUSE me, I’m the one who called. If you’re so better than me why haven’t you called first??!!

 

That was the worst scenario of course. There are other people that call and ask about me but have to repeat the whole “why-aren’t-you-asking-about-me” talk every single time they call. Guys, I know you love me and all but PLEASE GIVE ME A BREAK!

 

Another kind of people who just don’t understand that I AM BUSY, for real!! Come on, do you think I’m faking it or something?! Don’t you think I wanna go out, relax, talk, chat, shop, play and much, much more! The only reason I’m not doing all that is that I CAN’T. Shame on you to think that I’m just trying to avoid be proud or anything like that.

 

**WARNING: MOOD SHIFT!!

 

Thinking about this reminds me of those who always find excuses for me when I’m away, pardon me when I keep them on hold and welcome me back with their sweetest smile when I come their way. Those who understand, forgive, appreciate and love me infinitely, expecting nothing back in return.

 

{Teddy} – You’re the Best I’ve ever had or will ever have. I think the world of you.

 

{SLPT} – You’re the Ideal friend. “فيـــك متمــادي غــروري”

 

{Stell} – You’re a Must. Life, love, success, kindness and faith are all not the same without you.

 

From all the people I’ve known in my life, these are the ones I wanna hold on to forever. Without them, my world is incomplete. Have you ever known someone whom you cant stop hugging while you’re around him/her, well, that’s how I feel about those three. I feel like keeping them close to my heart coz thats where they belong.

 

One last whisper to them, “I love you”.

 

**WARNING: MOOD SHIFT!!

 

The other thing that I really really hate is RapidShare. I have never been able to download a single thing from that **** website. I don’t understand why people use it anyway. There are hundreds of free file hosting sites that work great. I wish that RapidShare shuts down but not as much as I wish Etisalat to do so of course. I just know that sooner or later Etisalat is gonna go DOWN and I can’t wait for that day to come. I’ll through a party and print this on the invitations, “YES!! Etisalat has gone DOWN =D”.

 

Me is sleepy – Me wants to sleep – Me is going to sleep

Crucial Update July 3, 2008

It’s been a really long time and I forgot how to start =P

 

Of course I’ve got no one to blame but myself and my laziness. I’m really surprised that there are people still visiting the blog. And I owe them an apology. Sorry for being so damn lazy, pardon my language =$

 

OK, I guess the right thing to do now is give you an update about myself (that sounded cocky – sorry, it’s just been a while and I feel like I’ve lost the blogging spirit!). Anyhow, I’m taking a summer course right now (Econ). It’s not all bad so far. Waking up in the morning is a real bummer but other than that its fine. This way I get to wake up in the morning, go out after class and do so many things I’ve always missed on doing during the summer because of staying up late and sleeping till noon. Of course I wake up tired coz I didn’t have enough sleep coz mom won’t let me sleep and miss noon prayer. Which reminds me, mom is totally overwhelmed with her new job and Marwa gets to sleep till 3 or even 4 pm. That is SOOO noT fair! << I sound like a kid, don’t I??

 

I’ve also joined a gym. This is the second week I guess. I like it. The trainer of course told me that I shouldn’t spend more than one hour in the gym, wouldn’t some people love to hear that? =P I haven’t used the pool yet but I’m hoping I’d start this weekend. Oh and about the weekend, my aunts and cousins are visiting from Qatar. I’m kinda sad that they’d have to come when I have a summer course coz this means I won’t be able to stay up with them. And that is what they do mainly, they sleep most of the day and stay up all night. But hey, it’s better than nothing. Having them here I mean.

 

Let’s see.. What else? Oh, I’ve got two papers that I’ve gotta write. One is for the Econ course and the other one is for a conference. The one for the conference is stressing me out a bit but I sat down yesterday and wrote an outline so it should be fine. What troubles me most of the time is the starting point, once that is settled everything just flows after that. The professors’ hopes are really high about it but I’m just hoping it turns out as good as everything else turned out to be.

 

Wait, did I talk about the weather? Coz I really wanna talk about the weather.

 

The weather is AWFUL. I’m not sure if it’s always been like that (my guess is that it has) because I used to sleep and not go out during the day every other summer I can remember. So I wouldn’t be able to give a fair comparison but I can give you a fair description of the weather now.

 

The weather is UNBEARABLE. I don’t wanna affect the economy or whatever but I honestly can’t see why tourists come here to tour!! I mean, obviously they’re attracted by the pretty malls, big hotels, clean beaches and many other facilities but to me it’s just NOT worth it. << Am I being ungrateful to my country here? No, I’m just being honest.

 

One more thing that makes me hate the weather is that I hate sweating. I think everyone does.

 

OK, I think I’ve said enough about the weather =P

 

Guess this is it. I’ll leave some for later on.

 

This was fun ^^.

Suspicious Destination April 26, 2008

Heyo

 

Can you believe it? Here I am again, in less than a week! \o/

 

I have something so interesting to share with you that couldn’t wait but I’ll leave it till the end

 

Good news>> I found those Arabic alphabet keyboard stickers I’ve been looking for forever. Just in case you needed them one day, you can find them in Jareer Bookstore, Al-Meena.

 

Bad news>> my car is staying with my mom for a couple of more days until she gets her car back. Oh and my bro totally missed it up – inside, out

 

Ok, I can’t think of anything else right now so here it is. A few days ago, I was looking at Google maps and found something really interesting – a Christian graveyard. The first thing I thought about once I saw it was, “I HAVE TO GO THERE.” So I memorized the map, told one of my friends (Heyam) about it (coz I definitely didn’t wanna go alone!). Next thing I know, we were on the road, heading to that supposed-to-be-in-my-head destination. And, yeah! We did loose our way. It was all my fault of course >.>

 

Anyways, I promised to bring the map with me next time. So on Thursday Heyam suggested to go and try again. Immediately, we printed the map and to the car. It turned out to be very close to pi. We can even see pi from that place. It was worst than I expected. I don’t feel like talking about the place itself but there’s one thing that I just cannot not mention. We found around 11 empty salt bags in there!!! Now what the hell? I need an explanation.

 

 

 

This was still wet when we got there.

 

 

This is a teddy bear by the way. I can make up a dozen stories about it!

 

This reminded me of the song which goes like this:

Gravedigger, when you you dig my grave

can you make it shallow?

so that I can feel the rain

 

One thing Heyam told me while walking back to the pi building about trust made me think. I never pause to decide whether to trust someone or not. It just happens. How does it happen? Well, I don’t know!

 

One last thing, thank you SOOOO much Heyam. You’re the best (Y)

 

PS: sorry about the missing frames. I was trying to edit the pics online but it didn’t work that will. I just hope they appear later on.

To-do April 19, 2008

I’ve honestly been trying to post something ever since I’ve written my last post but I just, believe it or not, can’t find the time to do so. I’m not saying that I don’t have any free time but I have to be in the mood to write and can’t just bring myself to write at any time. It needs mazaaaj =P (I know, lame excuse but it’s true!).

 

Hmm..

 

I’ve got lots of things to say that I dunno where to start. Let’s start with the things I should do today. I have a physics test tomorrow and I haven’t started studying yet. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it here (I know, my fault coz I haven’t been posting – shame on me >.< ) but physics 1 is just so much, and I mean SO MUCH work. It’s not as bad as it was in the beginning of the semester though or maybe I’m just getting used to it! Something else I’m getting used to is staying in PI till 5pm everyday. Never imagined I would but seems that I am. I still come back tired but it isn’t as bad as it was before. Another thing I have to do is my C++ homework. Last time I handed in my homework incomplete and knowing it was wrong but I didn’t care. I just wanted to get rid of it. After all, it only counts for 1% of my final grade >.>

 

I have to prepare handouts for the IEEE competition. I kinda regret getting into this coz I’m not really interested in the project we’re working on. Anyhow, I can’t get out of it now. I also have to start working on the STEPS design report which I know is a hell lot of work. I can see it giving me a headache until it’s due day, Tuesday. About headaches, I’ve been getting frequent headaches for a while now. I can mention 50, or more, reasons for these headaches but I’ll spare you the agony.

 

Weekends are just so SHORT.

 

More news about me:

 

I’m trying to eat better to gain some weight. So sick of people telling me that I lost weight. I’m also doing it coz my health is going down the hill. I’m much much weaker than I was before. A few weeks ago I fainted twice after closing the door on my fingers. I do that often by the way. Once it was worst and there was blood involved but I didn’t faint. So that was like a traffic sign that said, “STOP!! This is going too far.” And, el-7emdellah. I’m already feeling a difference. I come home still having some energy in my cells. Of course, it only stays until صلاة المغرب and then I’m all drowsy. I put on one of my smallest jeans yesterday (by the way, none of my jeans fit me anymore) and it actually fit me better. Not totally but we’re making a progress here.

 

I wanna write more but I’ll leave the rest for next time and I promise I’ll make that soon =$

Today February 19, 2008

Hello =)

 

I know its been a while, a very long while actually – about 3 months!

 

Why haven’t I posted anything all that while? I’ve no idea. I tried putting myself into writing something but couldn’t force myself. Why am I writing again? Well, I just stepped out of the toilet and thought I needed to write down some thoughts that crossed my mind today. So here I am again \o/

For those few of you who noticed my absence, in other words who read my scribblings, I’m sorry 3al g9oor and thanks for caring ^^.

 

Okay, let me talk a bit about my day. I woke up today 30 minutes later than I planned to – this is became a very irritating habit. I miss waking up whenever I plan to, even if thats 5, 4, 3, 2, or even 12 am. Ah, pretty old days when I actually had some control over my rebellious body. Anyways, I went to take a supposed-to-be-quick shower which turned into a 30 minutes shower. I walked out of the house with my DH15 slippers (yup!) and to my filthy car. Tried to clean it by spraying water on it but that never works. It goes back to it’s dirty self once the water dries out! I reached PI and the daily dilemma begins; looking for a parking. I really donno what the hell is wrong with those people. We’ve been suffering since last year, sharing parking lots with huge trucks and once they’ve (AWANHOM) built a parking lot especially for us, they didn’t even do the decent thing of applying any tar!!!!

 

So I arrive to the PI and find the usually packed space in front of the building is empty. Silly me thinks, “yippee, I can pamper my legs today and park near the building.” But, no, nO. Mr. mean security guy points at me and tells me you can’t park here. I so hated him. I know this is no big deal but that really pissed me off in the morning. So I had to drive in the sand and park my car there. Did that and walked to the building while murmuring, “I hate PI >.<”

 

Hmm..

 

I don’t feel like talking about the rest of my day. I think this is enough for today.

 

Cheers!

Choas November 17, 2007

 

I’m so disappointed that although I’ve been disappointed for so many fucking times, it still disappoints me! I start building up those mountains of expectations and affection for a certain he or she and then bang, the whole thing blows up in my face. And do I ever learn? Nope. If I could only stop being so naive and not have too much faith in people.

 

Things I feel like doing right now: <bullet> burn out my hair. Aha, the hair that sits on my head. Ya, my very own hair. You read it right. <new bullet> Redecorate my room. I hate the fact that everything revolves around my bed (something I liked at the very beginning). I’m in such a twisted mood that I want everything around to be twisted too. Oh, and that huge wall-to-wall-floor-to-ceiling-window is getting on my nerves. As a matter of fact, everything is getting on my nerves today.

 

I had this BOBYS’ chicken burger and boy, am I not liking BOBYS delicious-above-average junk food. And that corn salad, bloody brilliant! Waleed, cheers for the awesome food you provide to our ignorant-tasteless-replica-lovers population. Note to self: grab that orange slush you’ve been craving for next time you pass by.

 

They’re airing a musical on mbc 2 at the moment. I don’t remember the so-called-musical’s name (such a waste of free ram me thought). Here goes my review of the unnamed-so-called musical: Lame, lame, lame. And oh, LAME.

 

I read something today written by, umm, someone. Very impressed I am with it. I say it again, very impressed. The commenting part leaves me uncomfortable though. I found it so exceptional that I cannot fairly judge it. To the author (and I insist on using the word; author) aaaaa ~!#@##%$#$%$^%&$&%^……………………….

 

 

ERROR: BRAIN OVER HEATED. BRAIN OVER HEATED.

SHUT DOWN IN 3, 2, 1 and ….. [blank]

Rude!ِ September 27, 2007

When your right is violated, the best solution in my opinion is to argue your case. Sometimes however, the case is hopeless. For example, when a student doesn’t like one of the course’s rules. Arguing to change that rule is just a waste of breath! Especially, if the instructor is strict. They justify their action to be protecting their rights but I don’t think its their right to design the course outline however they want. Of course that would be great but its not our right and therefore we can’t demand it. Some of my classmates are doing so and I think they’re just acting as brats! They still think they’re in school. I would really love telling them that but I wouldn’t wanna lose their friendship, for I highly appreciate the acquaintance of a couple of them.

This is me. If I thought that the word I’m gonna say is gonna hurt the person I’m talking to, even if its true, I prefer not to say it. Well, there are some exceptions of course =P. You can’t be nice and cautious all the time! Some people think it is brave to be frank and say what’s on your mind all the time but I think its rude! No one has any excuse to judge someone and laugh out loud about it in public. I know it takes a very strong will to stop yourself from judging others but taking it out to the public!!!! Hushhhhhhhh, keep it to yourself>> “الناس مب ناقصه ذنوب خاصةً في رمضان “

Oh, and about Ramadhan. There are many things that I wanna talk about regarding Ramadhan but I’m just gonna mention the thing that irritates me the most. Guys, guys, guys.. for god’s sake stop starring, not just because its حـــــــرام but also because its rude! I’ll tell you a funny incident. During the 1st week of Ramadhan I went to one of the shopping malls after finishing my classes, thought it would be empty – which it was in comparison with a normal day. Anyhow, on my way in i saw these 2 guys leaving the mall and I knew they were up to no good. You just know, its pretty clear. While walking forward, I was telling myself, “There’s noway they’re gonna hit on me. We’re in Ramadhan! They’ll be good I’m sure.” Just as I passed by them and was about to “أتنفس الصعداء ” as we say in arabic, one of’em said, “I just wish we weren’t in Ramadhan.” o_O

Honestly, what kinda behavior is that?! Its like he is confused, he doesn’t wanna behave badly but won’t let himself do good either. For those, however, who are doing a good job, please keep it that way.

Anyways, at the end I wanna say: تقبل الله منا ومنكم صالح الأعمال

والسموحة إذا غلطت على حد

Interesting! September 12, 2007

There are few things that grabbed my attention today during my classes. First one was during my Politics class, which I really like by the way. What I thought interesting is our discussion about how applying equality does not mean being fair. For example, if a teacher decided to give the whole class a B+ so that everyone will be equal, it won’t be fair. It won’t be fair because some students might work harder than the rest and deserve more than that grade or visa versa, some students may work less than the others and deserve a lower grade. What’s ironic is that people always, or let me say often because there are some people who like being different. They often long for equality. Thinking about it again, I think we all want to be different in one way or another. That’s why it’s natural for people to compete. I’m confusing myself here!! I can go on and on you know … but let me switch to the next thing

 

The second thing was a question Dr. Michael Ohadi, the executive director of the PI, asked in his lecture today. “Do you wanna be … oopps!! I totally forgot >_<

 

I know, sorry but it was something interesting!!

 

Okay, let’s move to the next thing. The same guy mentioned something about good friends and bad friends. I’ve been aware of this and grateful about it for a while now. I think I’m really lucky. I have a bunch of awesome friends that I wouldn’t trade for the whole wild world. I keep hearing people complaining about their bad experiences with their friends and each time I smile on the inside. I’m really lucky to have friends that I know care about me as much as I care about them. I’m really lucky to have friends that I can depend on. I’m really lucky to have friends that I can share with my good and bad times as well their good and bad times. I’m really lucky =)

New semester August 26, 2007

Summer vacation is over and we’re back to PI. Today was the first day of the new semester. It was great for a first day. A bit short but that can never be bad, huh?

It was nice to see everybody and to be back there. I kinda missed it. However, I’m not feeling so good right now. I just didn’t feel like coming back home and when I got home I was so distracted that I scratched my car while parking. My poor baby It is not that bad but it IS there! I knew though that it would happen sooner or later.

Another thing that is bothering me are my contact lenses. This is almost the third time I wear them and they are irritating. I have this feeling that my eyes are filled with tears when they are actually not! Other than that I’m liking them. I didn’t use to wear my glasses before using them so being able to SEE again feels good!

~

In general, I’m quiet satisfied and happy these days except for a hard decision that I have to make. I have to choose between two people I deeply care about. It is either one or the other, no other choice. Oh, wait! There is one; Lying. This really sucks. I truly believe that I am entitled to keep them both but the society we are living in and the mentality of the people is just too arrogant, not to understand (for some people understand it and even sympathize with it) but to accept it. I don’t entirely blame them because what drives them to reject it so violently is their strong emotions. But what am I to do? I really donno

It is like I’m in a war, not between my heart and mind but within my mind. If it was up to my heart, it would have been settled by now. I hate not knowing what’s gonna happen. I know one thing though, I have to do something and do something soon.
