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

Working out!

Since I'm working on losing weight I joined the gym, its boring to use the machines so this time I'm trying new kind of exercises, here is a photo of the gym.

Breakfast, La colazione

Yesterday we went out for breakfast as a goodbye to our teacher Anna, she's the nicest teacher we ever had, we went to a resturant called Canvas, I love that place the food was so good here is photos of the place.

Ieri siamo usciti per la colazione come un arrivederci al nostro insegnante, Anna è l'insegnante che più piacevole abbiamo avuti mai, Siamo andati a un ristorante chiamato Canvas, Amo che il posto il cibo era così buono qui è le foto del posto.

Finisco il classe

ultimo giovedì era il nostro exam, finalmente sono fatto con il quarto livello, avrò una rottura per un mese o due poi ritornerò studiare! spera che ho multato nell'esame.

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..."

A song,Una canzone

Questa canzone è la prima canzone che mi sono sentito e realmente ho capito, io la amo mólto. Qui è il relativo video

This song is the first song I heard and I really understood, I love it a lot. Here is its' video

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".

Syria
part 2

We went downtown in the next day, here is a brief about the area.

Damascus is quite famous for its popular old markets, (souqs),specialized ones such as al Al-Hamidieh, Madhat Basha, Al-Buzurieh, the Handicradts markets in addition to and Khan As'ad Basha which was built in the mid-19th century . These markets have been working since hundreds of years till nowadays.

The khan provides an place for the exchange of good, storage of merchandise and temporary residential units.

Each khan was specialized both in terms of the commodity traded and the nature of the visitor, whether foreign merchants or a traveling caravan.

The most famous market in Damascus is Al-Hamidieh market (souq). It is one of the most famous and attractive souqs in the world with its constant show of traditional arts.

while you walking down till the end of the market you will see the Umiada mosque ,but before it you will see these wooden tabels with umbrellas when i saw them it made me feel like we are still in Roman age.

Appendix Horror

I know I told ya all guys that I will post soon, but I couldn't this is my first day free after am back, had BUNCH of work to do and my dad had to take his appendix off, he came back from work with a pain his belly he thought that its cause of his being stressed all day, he BARED it till the next morning when his Dr checked on him and said "Dress up, you going to the hospital now, am suspicious about your appendix". Around 7 PM after the tests and the X-Rays the Dr recommended a surgeon for the operation, and said he have to do it now! (Even though they weren't sure it's his appendix). my dad was so funny when he said " its late now we can do it TOMORROW" the Dr said if so its on your responsibility and here is the 3 option that maybe the reason of your fever and pain, 1- appendix (that will be removed) 2-Colon (that would be cut and a hole will be made on the side of the body working instead of the Rectum) 3- Tumor.

If you wana know where I was when all that happen I will say WORK, I called mom after work that 8:15 PM asking her how dad is doing my sis answered saying your dad just got into surgery WHAT!!!!!!!!!! Driving so crazy to reach the hospital where I found mom, brother and 2 sisters waiting in the room "WHAT HAPPEN! WILL HE BE OK?", after telling me what happen and so and waiting for the operation to be don my sister mother in law came , that was so nice of her I have been told that she didn't allow mom to be alone :) and she was there before me .

After 1 hour we went down to check and see if they are done a nurse said they need more 1 hour that made us terrified. We went upstairs praying that it won't be his Colon. 3 min later my sister husband went upstairs to the room "it's the Appendix, it's the Appendix". After 15 min we went to see his :)

The Dr. told us that he never saw such a huge Appendix before his hip was full of infections and pus he had to wash it away with 4 liter of water.

Thank God this is over what a nightmare, he will be out tomorrow :) and the funny thing that you guess will be laughing for is what he asked me the 1 time he saw me in the ICU "what happen with work? Did you guys sell anything"?!!!!!!!!

Am Back

Hi all, hope you all well, i had fun in Syria and i will post what i did soon

Zidane gets kicked out of the World Cup

You all saw the HEADBUTT Zidane gave Materazzi, watch the VIDEO if you didnt see it.

I think what Zidane did was stupid , crazy and unprofessional,but I also believe that everyone has their limits. Apparently, Materazzi called him a "dirty terrorist".

Watching this VIDEO of how dirty Materazzi is , geez sorry babe you deserve it !

ITALY 1-1 FRANCE a.e.t 5-3 PSO
9 July 2006
by FIFAworldcup.com

Italy are world champions for the fourth time after beating ten-man France 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Berlin's Olympiastadion on Sunday, 9 July 2006.

Twelve years after losing to Brazil in the first shoot-out in a FIFA World Cup™ Final, Italy made up for that heartbreak as all five men in blue converted their kicks to claim world football's greatest prize for the first time since 1982. For France the pain of defeat was compounded by the sight of Zinedine Zidane, on his last appearance as a professional, leaving the field having been sent off in extra time for butting Marco Materazzi off the ball.

It was Italy's first successful shoot-out in a FIFA World Cup after previous failures in 1990, 1994 and 1998 and ironically it was a miss from France’s David Trezeguet – whose golden goal had defeated the Azzurri in the final of UEFA EURO 2000 – that opened the door for Fabio Grosso to fire the winning spot-kick past Fabien Barthez and spark celebrations all the way from Bergamo to Bari.

If penalties can resemble a lottery, there could have been no more deserving matchwinner than Grosso, such a positive influence for Italy throughout this tournament. He was one of several Italians prominent in a first period where the Italians played the more fluent football, although it was France who took an early lead.

Eight years after scoring twice in the FIFA World Cup Final in Paris, Zidane opened the scoring with a seventh-minute penalty after Materazzi’s trip on Florent Malouda. By the 19th minute, however, Materazzi had made amends, the big defender heading the equaliser from Andrea Pirlo’s corner.

Although both sides threatened to score a second – notably Italy’s Luca Toni, who headed against Fabien Barthez’s crossbar before the break - neither managed to add a second. Extra time brought a scare for Italy when Buffon had to tip over Zidane's header but soon afterwards the France captain was making the sad walk to the dressing rooms.

A BREAK!

Finally am getting a break from work, am going to Syria tomorrow i cant wait! Being working so hard since i got back from Italy, if you said IF THE DAY IS 48 HOURS WOULD YOU FINISH YOUR WORK? My answer will be NO! These past 3 months were so tiring and stressful.

For the 1 time ever we gona stay in FOUR SEASON hotel and for 4 days i cant wait to see it , since lots i know said its fabulous. So my friends i promise i will take pics and post them and tell you everything i did there.

So c ya all later

From My Home

I watched the game at home , what the use of going out if you have a big TV at home hehehehe :p well here is some of special coverage of the match! ENJOY

Aint my top COOL or what! i wore it in the game and teased everyone when they SCORED!!! :D

GERMANY 0-2 a.e.t. ITALY
4 July 2006
by FIFAworldcup.com

German dreams of reaching the FIFA World Cup™ Final on home soil died in Dortmund as two goals in the final moments of extra time carried Italy into the Final as 2-0 semi-final winners on Tuesday, 4 July 2006.

With a penalty shoot-out looming, Fabio Grosso broke the deadlock in the 119th minute as he curled a left-footed shot past the despairing dive of Jens Lehmann from the right side of the penalty box. Substitute Alessandro Del Piero made sure of Italy's place in the Final when he beat Lehmann from close range in added time at the end of the extra period.

Italy now advance to their first FIFA World Cup Final since 1994 and their sixth overall. They will face the winners of Wednesday's Portugal-France semi-final in Berlin's Olympiastadion on Sunday, 24 hours after Germany have contested third place with the losers of that match in Stuttgart.

ITALY 3-0 UKRAINE
30 June 2006
by FIFAworldcup.com

Italy cruised into the semi-finals of Germany 2006 with a convincing 3-0 victory over Ukraine in Dortmund on Friday, 30 June 2006.

A sixth-minute strike from Gianluca Zambrotta set the tone for the evening and a second-half brace from Luca Toni merely compounded the misery for Oleg Blokhin’s side. Oleg Gusev, Andriy Gusin and Maksym Kalinichenko all went close for Ukraine, but were denied by a combination of the woodwork and some excellent goalkeeping by Gianluigi Buffon.

Italy now turn their attentions to a semi-final tie with the hosts in Dortmund on Tuesday, 4 July, while FIFA World Cup™ debutants Ukraine will return home justifiably proud of their efforts.

The game was cool, i really enjoyed it at home, i wished they scored more though :p
