Wireless & Wanadoo

Finally I had the time and transfer the net into wireless, thank ya Hasan for helping me out :) didn’t have an idea that it would take 3 hours to put the modem, access point and configure them.



You must have heard of Wanadoo new speed offer right! I called them and ask for upgrade ok and they told me to check with the Telecom to check if my phone line supports that speed so after stopping by them and waiting for the line the man behind the desk said Sorry, Your Phone Line Cant Support This Speed! :( I wonder if anyone went home disappointed as I did!

Henna party

I don’t know if ya guys remember me talkin about my best friend gettin married on the 1st of Jan 2007! Well she had a henna party on Thursday and oh my! What a fun I had! To be honest this is the 1st time I ever been into one! "since it's not a tradition in Syria or among ones who lives here" the songs were really nice the way they danced holding candles and incense "bakhoor" wearing the traditional dress were so cool. After dancing "till ya feet can't hold ya" and eating "since ya didn’t eat all day preparing ya dress, hair do etc..." Each invitee got a small packet of henna, a cool ceramic box with chocolate inside :p and a henna tattoo. Here is mine!

Happy Eid

It is SNOWING! Sta Nevicando

Finally my wish come true! IT IS SNOWING .. and here is the song with every snow... ENJOY!!!
تلج تلج عم بتشتي الدنيي تلج
و النجمات حيرانين و زهور الطرقات بردانيين
تلج تلج عم بتشتي الدنيي تلج
و الغيمات تعبانين عالتلة خيمات مضويين
و مغارة سهرانه فيها طفل صغير
بعيونو الحلياني حب كتير كتير
تلج تلج عم بتشتي الدنيي تلج
كل قلب كل مرج زهر فيه الحب متل التلج
و جاي رعيان من بعيد
وين الطفل الموعود؟
هون يا رعيان العيد
هون الليل المنشود
تلج تلج شتي خير و حب و تلج
على كل قلب و على كل مرج
ألفة و خير و حب متل التلج
Amman & Winter

I think the photos explain itself! I took them while i was driving home last night from work.

I LOVE WINTER! Hope it snows tonight :D

To You

Artist: Westlife
Song: Have You Ever Been In Love
Album: The Love Album



In the morning light
half awake and half asleep
have you ever laid there thinking
was it all a dream?
but you reach out and she's there
every moment, everywhere
have you ever been in love?
.............................
have you ever felt
how far a heart can fall
have you ever stayed up waiting
for a telephone call
just to hear her say hello
cause you miss each other so
have you ever been in love?
...............................
have there been times to laugh
and times you really want to cry
finding reasons to believe her
cause you'd die a little if she lied
and when in times of doubt
have you ever tried to work it out
but still she leaves you wondering
what it's all about
.............................
and when she's far away
have you ever felt the need to stray
and tried and then discovered
it just doesn't pay
cause with her, you can be true
and with her, you can be you
have you ever been in love?
............................
have there been times to laugh
and times you really want to cry
finding reasons to believe her
cause you'd die a little if she lied
and when in times of doubt
have you ever tried to work it out
but still she leaves you wondering
what it's all about
.............................
and when the night comes down
can you call your house a home
do you dream you're still together
and wake up alone
have you ever been in love
the way that i'm in love
have you ever been in love?
have you ever been in love?

Conversation

An American stepped into the showroom weeks ago and I was called from my office to help since I can speak English better than the others, after an hour tour and asking for styles, colors and kinds of wood we sat down and had this conversation.

Me: so .., would you like me to make you a design Mr.….?
Him: Bridges
Me: "with a smile", nice meeting you Sir, where ya from? Which state?
Him: Chicago, your English is perfect, where did you study?
Me: "a chuckle" here! Didn’t go anywhere!
Him: wow I'm impressed! You people talk English very well not like what I though!
Me: how you mean? Most people in Jordan talks English very well.
Him: I know!
Me: do you like it here? How long since you been here?
Him: 2 years, and yeah I love it
Me: I don’t think you prefer it than the state, right?
Him: I really like it here, me and my wife ain't thinking of going back at the moment that why we are buying a house here
Me: "shocked" really!
Him: yeah, you know, I feel safe here like I can see the sunset, go out at night with my family without being worried of being shot, my kids goes into a safe school away from drugs and violence.
Me: oh I see "smile"
Him: I will call you and arrange it with my wife.
Me: cool, this is my card,
Him: thanks
Me: nice meeting you, have a nice day
Him: you too, bye

Unfortunately they didn’t buy the kitchen L the owner of the house refused to share the expenses in it, so they will stick with the one which is already installed, they were really nice, I meet a lot of Americans and Europeans at work and they all say that they are happy here and they feel blessed for it, while I can't wait to get out of it and see the unknown! hehe
Men and marriage

Ok I had this proposal "marriage proposal"; I usually don’t talk about these kinds of topics but that man really irritated me that I wished I could kick him out the house!

So after 2 visits with his mom they called back and asked to see me alone and discussing it with my mom we set a day and a time.

Bell rings, I open the door with a smile, dressing nicely.

Me: hi, come on in.

I lead him to the guest room
Him: hi, walks and sit down
Me: "silent with a smile" to break the silent I ask, so how was your day?
Him: fine, "pause" hope you don’t mind I came alone I mean without my mom.
Me: no, it's your right; this is how we would get to know each other more.
Him: yeah, that what I thought of.
After 5-10 min of being silent
Him: so do you like maids?
Me: oh you mean housekeepers, yeah .why?
Him: well I don’t like them around [ be2raf menhom].
Me: "in shock" oh! I see "me thinking what's wrong with this guy! Starting our conversation with this topic?"
Him: I don’t think and believe we would need one if we got married.
Me: ok
Him: after things been going fine with my father he build a building where we live in and gave each of me and my brother a flat to live in after we marry.
Me: ok "geez I would live up my mother in law! No way this is going to happen!"
Him: I just wana tell you something is that my financial state aren't like my parents its way bellow.
Then he started talking about himself and bragging about how honest and a good man he is.
Me: "bored and interrupting" so, what you think is the bad thing in you? For example I'm a little bit stubborn but if you talked to me and explain, that problem is solved.
Him: well if someone is stubborn with me I would be more stubborn and I would even tease. I'm a quite man when it's about my personal life. [katoom].
Me: what do you mean?
Him: my parents beg me for telling them my work details, I hate that.
Me: oh
Him: am a little picky when it's about food, I don’t eat the food if I don’t like it.
Me: even if you invited out?
Him: yeah I won't act like am pleased with it, I won't eat it.
Me: "thinking what a man!" do you see yourself as an eastern or western man?
Him: what do you mean?
Me: I mean it by the way you think? Would you mind if I called you at work and said am going out with my friends for dinner or something?
Him: of course I would mind!
Me: "shocked and confused" excuse me? Would I need your permission to go out or so?
Him: yeah! What if I told ya I don’t want you to go and I wana spend the evening with you?
Me: I see! We can spend time together in other night!
Him: what about your job? Would ya quit it?
Me: never!
Him: I always thought that if I married a teacher she would finish around 2 pm go home finish cleaning the house and cooking till am home that would be at 5 pm.
Me: "getting irritated by the tone of voice" I never been in a situation that made me think if I would leave work or not but I know for sure I wont.
Him: you know I do want to marry a housewife
Me: "still irritated" I ain't a housewife!
Him: "shocked" I see, we can manage you know, if we went shopping and couldn’t decide on buying a blue or green sweater we can talk about it and pick one
Me: "what an idiot" well I would buy both of them!
Him: oh my God! Spend all that money!
Me: "and he is stingy, geez" you know am spoilt.
Him: me too, we can spoil each other
Me: "hate his sarcastic tone" I'm spoilt in my parents house and I wana stay spoilt after I move out!
Him: geez it's late, hope I didn’t bore you
Me: "yeah you did, can't wait till you gone" nah didn’t feel the time also
Him: ok I better go
Me: ok.
I walked him to the door, and he said goodbye and left.

Some people say that its we the girls which are picky! Come on! How a girl would say yes to a man like that! He didn’t ask me how I been, didn’t comment on my dress, been so snob and bossy! Why couldn’t he ask about my interests? What I like and dislike? My hobbies? How was my work going? I'm happy I won't see him again! Geez

Sport

While I was cleaning my drawers and throwing out old stuff I found these 3 medals :) it got me back to high school days were we used to have basketball championship 4 years before I graduate between all classes. And my class won 3 times it was so easy for me to get in the game I love and good at since I was the tallest girl in class hehehe.

In my last year my class obsession turned to soccer! I think P.E was the most class we all waited for and loved that year, I still remember when we split into 2 teams and I was chosen to be the goal keeper! Why! Ok I will tell you the reason the net was small so with my height I can cover it with my body and arms! Hehehe well my team always won and was happy to make me the goal keeper while I was suffering of bruises all over my body!!

Playing basketball in uni was cool and I entered the girls' team but unfortunately there was no game the team was really bad! I used to play with my uni friends in breaks, I really miss it it's been like 2 years since I played, all my friends and I are so busy working!!

Here is a photo of my medals :D

Taraweeh

Definition: Special evening prayers performed during Ramadan. During each night's prayer, one juz’ (1/30) of the Qur'an will be recited, so that by the end of the month the entire Qur'an will have been read. The word Taraweeh comes from Arabic word which means to rest and relax. The prayer can be very long (well over an hour), during which one stands upright to read from the Qur'an and performs many cycles of movement (standing, bowing, prostrating, sitting). After each four cycles, one sits for a brief period of rest before continuing -- this is where the name Taraweeh ("rest prayer") comes from.

I love Taraweeh it stronger my Eman (believe) and charge me with power so I can continue the year peacefully worshipping Allah. I usually attend it in the mosque near my house, For a change I went to Saeda Ayesha mosque located in Abdoon were I heard that Yahya Hawwa is the Imam (prayer leader) I love his voice so much.

The result my friends is my legs hurts so bad since he read 1 page every rukaa and I’m staying home so I can get better :( and I cant wait till I go there again !!!! :p

Mam "Kitty"
13th August 1953 - Saturday 23rd September 2006.

Last night I lost the sweetest person I ever knew in these past 4 years, for her sons she was a legend that stands up against all kind of troubles, miseries that would definitely breaks any human being, for me she was more that a friend she was like a mother that any girl would wish she can have, I loved her a lot, I shared my secrets with her and now she's gone! And I will never get the chance to meet her in person, and that hurts me so deep, I'm so mad and hurt that I can't help her family in this hard time.

To Martin, Stephen, Kristal, Peter, Paul, Jonathan, and Danny, I'm so sorry for your lost I wish I can help and be there for you all. Just know that my prayers are with all of you.

An embarrassment, Un Imbarazzo

What an embarrassment it is when your credit card is rejected in a store or restaurant, well that what happened with me last night :/ I went out with my sister for a nice dinner at Maccarones since they opened a new branch in Abdoon :D I love that restaurant it remind me of Milan since risotto is one of the dishes they serve, back to that embarrassment I had my card didn’t work and I had no cash the workers there were really nice they said I can pay later, so what I did was is drive to abdoon mall get money from the ATM and pay them. The good thing in that place is that the dessert we had was for free :p even after what happen there I cant wait to go back there!!



Che un imbarazzo è quando la sua carta di credito è rigettata in un negozio o in ristorante, che ciò che è successo con me ieri sera :/ Sono uscita con mia sorella per la cena a Maccarones poiché hanno aperto un nuovo ramo in Abdoon : D io amo quel ristorante, lo ricorda di Milano poiché il risotto è uno dei piatti che servono, sostenere a quell'imbarazzo ho avuto, la mia carta non ha lavorato e non ho avuto denaro. I lavoratori c'erano realmente piacevole hanno detto che posso pagare dopo, dunque che ho fatto era è la spinta all'abdoon mall prendere il denaro dal ATM e ho pagati. La cosa buona in quel luogo è che il dessert che ero stato per libero : p Anche dopo che ciò che è successo io non può attendere di ritornare lí!!

Per favore,correggere i miei errori se ho c'è ne

Misunderstanding

It do hurt when a colleague at work accuse you or calls you a teller! That what happen with me today with one of my colleague who is a woman, it do hurt me a lot I'm not that kind of person who would do such a thing, my story is more complicated since am not like the other employees here, you can see am more like the daughter of the boss (the future manager) it's cool but also difficult; I have to tell my dad about what is going on when he's not there still not everything small details that’s not important .

So now she's not talking to me; thinking I'm the one who said something about her which isn't true, it do irritate me that she didn't check who said it before she point the finger on me, the only thing I can do and am doing is leaving her alone so she can think more and discover that she was wrong.
Shopping

I went yesterday shopping with my mom, I hate shopping maybe that’s weird for a woman to say "I HATE SHOPPING" hehe, we went to cosmos' clothes section were they have 70% sale off all clothes, aint that cool or what? I do have problems when I go shopping maybe that why I hate it, can't find the right size I rarely buy clothes here.
Hay don’t you ever think of "hay she must be fat or sth" I'm not! You can say I'm not a standard size to women in here being tall aint my fault! I tried more than 30 pairs of pants and the result was 6! 10 shirts and the result were 2! So I don’t think anyone can blame me for hating shopping.

Lyrics
Quello Che Non Ti Ho Detto - Modà

"Scusami... se quella sera sono stato troppo fragile... E non ho avuto proprio forza per resistere... per fregarmene...

Scusami... ma la voglia di sentirti era incontrollabile... Dirti tutto in quel momento era impossibile... era inutile

Scusami, se ho preferito scriverlo, che dirtelo, ma non è facile... dirti che... Sei diventata il senso di ogni mio giorno...momento...perché...

...perché sei fragile...

Scusami...se io non sto facendo altro che confonderti... Ma vorrei far di tutto per non perderti... e per viverti...

Parlami...ma ti prego di qualcosa oppure stringimi... Ho paura del silenzio e dei tuoi brividi...dei miei limiti...

Scusami, se ho preferito scriverlo, che dirtelo, ma non è facile...dirti che... Sei diventata il senso di ogni mio giorno...momento...perché...

...perché sei fragile...e come me sai piangere...

Scusami, se ho preferito scriverlo, che dirtelo, ma non è facile...dirti che... Sei diventata il senso di ogni mio giorno...momento...perché...

...perché sei fragile...e come me sai piangere..."

Quello che non ti ho detto - Moda'



A complement

I had an appointment at my nutrition; I sat beside this old woman I think she was in her 70s and she started to chat with me asking me questions I knew she was bored.

Her: How are you dear?
Me: Fine thanks, and you?
Her: Fine, where you from?
Me: Syrian.
Her: I knew from the beauty of your face and accent.
Me blushing: Thanks, am born here though.
Her: why you here? You not fat!.
Me with a smile: I have to lose some kilograms.
Her: did you lose any?
Me: yeah, but sometimes I don't.
Her with sad face: me too.
Me: losing some is better than losing nothing.
Her: oh yeah for sure.

Then her name was called, and she went in, when she was out after she smiled at me and said "good Luck", I said "you too".
