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

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.

dear Stella

I was planning to write a poem =P

 

But I can’t find the words!

 

Wish all your dreams and desires come true.

 

Love you WAYED <3

 

كـــــــل عـــــــام وانتـــي بـالــف خيــــــــــر

Forever Friends October 26, 2007

 

I often think about this certain incident. I wonder; would I have been able to change something if I reacted differently? Will I ever be able to see her again and tell her what I really wanted to tell her. I’m not sure why I kept silent, why was I reluctant to speak up? Is it because I hardly knew her? I think I remember now. It was, indeed, the fact that she was a stranger to me. I hesitated. I was thinking; why should I bother? And I regret it now. I feel sorry that I missed that opportunity. What could have happened if I did speak up? I feel ashamed for letting my doubts paralyze me. I’ve always had faith in people but there are a lot of things that happen in life that shake those solid grounds you base your beliefs upon. In some situations it works for our benefit but I’m sure that wasn’t the case that day. I’m sure that I lost a great friend, an honest heart and a valuable mentality.

 

It sounds weird but I know we’ll meet again. If not in this life then in the next one and I’ll be able to do what my corrupted mind prevented me from doing. I’ll say what should have been said and I’ll befriend her. I’m sure we’ll make great friends =)

 

Speaking about friends, I miss Lama. I have been blessed by many good friends. Few of them, I just can’t live without but no one will ever be what she was. There is this place in my heart that refuses to be occupied by anyone else except her. But I think this is always the case. No one can ever fill someone else’s space.

 

I miss talking to her. I miss hanging out with her. I miss arguing with her about all sort of things; family, school, movies, books, shopping, politics, religion and the list goes on. I miss knowing that I could see her whenever I wanted to see her. I miss the fact that she knew more about me than I knew about myself. I keep thinking; I’ll get used to not having her around but I never do. How can I get over the closest person to my heart, mind and soul? It won’t happen. I’m not gonna let it happen. I’m gonna keep her memory with me [ كل شي حولي يذكرني بذكراها ] until the day that brings us back together. No matter how long this day is yet to come, I still can see it coming. I can’t perceive any other possibility. I need hope and I need my other precious friends. I need them to hold on to me and go through this journey with me.

 

Funny how whenever I start writing a post I end up writing about my friends. I guess what I have been trying to say in most of my posts sums up in these few words; I think the WORLD of you.

 

An old design I made. 

The ideal life? October 18, 2007

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience; this is the ideal life.

 

I found this line somewhere and once I read it I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I wish I had all those 3 elements but I’m close! I have the good friends =) plenty of good books and a sleepy conscience, well, I’m getting there =P

 

Good friends ~

A friend:

(A)ccepts you as you are
(B)elieves in “you”
(C)alls you just to say “HI”
(D)oesn’t give up on you
(E)nvisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts)
(F)orgives your mistakes
(G)ives unconditionally
(H)elps you
(I)nvites you over
(J)ust “be” with you
(K)eeps you close at heart
(L)oves you for who you are
(M)akes a difference in your life
(N)ever Judges
(O)ffers support
(P)icks you up
(Q)uiets your fears
(R)aises your spirits
(S)ays nice things about you
(T)ells you the truth when you need to hear it
(U)nderstands you
(V)alues you
(W)alks beside you
(X)-plain things you don’t understand
(Y)ells when you won’t listen and
(Z)aps you back to reality

That’s what you are to me and much, much more =)

 

Good books ~

I’m reading this book called Shantaram. Pretty nice but a bit too long. My problem is that I wanna finish everything in an instant which is unrealistic, i know. I’m really enjoying it though.

A few books that I’m eager to read after I finish Shantaram:

- Hegemony or Survival by Noam Chomsky.
- The Afghan by Frederick Forsyth.
- Princess by Jean Sasson.

Heartbreaking September 29, 2007

I have a chemistry test tomorrow. I hate chemistry

~~~~

I wanna share with you this song.

It’s the intro of this Ramadhan tv series “عيون من زجاج”

For the talented singer, عادل محمود

Every time I hear this song my heart just breaks.

Why? You will never know!

~~~~

I miss Lama

~~~~

These are the lyrics:

 

مرت الأيام والحلم أنهدم
لو ندمت الحين وش يفيد الندم
..
مابقالي شي غير الله يعين
آه لو أرجع بعمري كم سنه
..
كان أصير أنسان ثاني مو أنا
كان أصلح كل غلطات السنين
..
..
أرتكبت أخطاء بس الله ستر
وأتخذت اسوء قرارات البشر
..
كان لي قلبين مبسوط وحزين
ناس كنت أفهم نصايحهم غلط
..
شرهم مع طيبهم فيني أختلط
أكتشفت الحين أنهم طيبين
..
ليتني أقدر أرد اللي رحل
ولا أمحي بيدي كل اللي حصل
..
آه يا كبر السما وكبر الحنين
خايف الأيام تتوقف هنا
خايف ارحل قبل ماذوق الهنا
خايف تكون آخر أنفاسي أنين
..
مرت الأيام والحلم أنهدم

 

The song isn’t very clear. I’ll replace it once I find one with better quality.

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 =)

Randomly put August 6, 2007

 

I had a dream last night that I felt down and hurt myself. Strangely, I woke up with pain in the same spot!!! Explanation, anyone???

 

Tomorrow I’m leaving to Qatar. I was so excited about going and I still am, but realizing all the stuff that I’m gonna miss on by leaving is putting me off a bit. A lot of people have traveled already but those who are still here are so dear to me. I’ve always appreciated August and I appreciate it this year more than ever. I wish that I could stay here and hang out more with my friends before college

 

Why can’t we all live in one big country? That would make things much easier.

This reminded me; I miss Bi$kiT .. like hell

 

Since it is too late for me to do anything about the traveling plan, I dedicate this quote to all those people I’m gonna miss and those whom I already miss:

 

“You never really leave a place or person you love, part of them you take with you, leaving a part of yourself behind.”

 

It’s surprising how you sometimes feel that you carry enough love in your heart to fill the entire world! I think if every person followed the purest sensations of his/her heart, the world won’t be such a mess.

 

Ok, I am literally suffocated by mixed feelings! So I’ll leave it here. I don’t know when my next post is gonna be, but until then, hope you all live well.

 

Yours,

Nada

Back July 15, 2007

Hey everybody *waves*

Been a while since I last posted, a month!

You know how things get messed up in summer.

I kinda miss ayam el-dewam but this is not bad at all

I’m writing this post, like most of my other posts, sitting on my ever beloved bed.

This is a bad habit that I’m getting used to, using my bed as my working station.

I actually do this when I have no studying or writing to do, nothing that has to do with pens.

Thats what stops me really, ugly ink stains on my sheets.

Hmm….

Sorry I’m just wondering how I ended up talking about my bed sheets.

Wait, let me scroll up ^

Oh ya. I was saying that I’m sitting on my bed with a sore body from yesterday’s activity.

I’ve literally been everywhere.

Met some dear old school friends

It was great to see them.

My bro 7amood turned 5 yesterday ^_^

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to him \o/

About the past month, I was really busy with my family.

Our relatives visited us from Qatar.

I really miss them but I’m gonna see them soon inshalla

Right now I wanna relax for a while but i know that’s not gonna happen.

For when you really long for something it does not turn out the way you want it to.

Anyways, this will be the end of this entry.

I’ll be writing again soon.

Salam
