 I haven’t done this since like forever, today I went out with the girl and I tell ya people; it was amazing!!! :D

Menna is leaving us to NY at the end of this month, so we decided to spend the day out to a places we never visited before, and the choices were AMAZING!!! :D

We went for lunch to have SHAWERMA, oh my god I’ve been craving for shawerma for a loooooooong time, and it was SOOOOOOOO YUMMYYY!! :)

we found out about it 2 weeks ago :)

Menna’s Plate, I don’t wanna plate, beddi Shawermaaaaaaaa sandwich!!

YUM YUM , he is making my sandwich :)

YAAAAAAAAAY!! 

Look how much I paid for my shawerma sandwich! $6??? 10 times the price in Jordan :S

Yara being princess “Arfaneh” LOL! she has the “7ello 3anni” tag on her forehead :D

After eating so much food, and feeling SOOOOOOOOOOO full (o shawerma kaman), we decided to go to downtown Disneyland, it’s like small Disneyland, no rides or anything, but you walk in this amazing city, full of lights and Disney characters, I don’t remember when was the last time I had so much fun like this.

We ran after each other like bunch of kids, we danced we sang, we wore all kind of hats over there :D , we looks hilarious HAHAHAHA people were looking at us, but WHO CARES! I wanna have fun :D

The 3 of us wearing silly hats :D

Me being silly :D LOL!

I believe I can fly LOL! :D

Our way back was so much fun as well, i listened to a song I’ve never heard before, a very nawareyeh song :D , the weird part, Fatina and Menna were singing along, and i was laughing so bad at them, i have no clue who was singing, and I don’t think it’s Nicole Saba as Fatina Claims, so if you ever heard it before let me know who is singing.

OH and the one is “Za’3reting” is Fatina, she is completely KOKO :D

Now you have to watch this video :D , Yara was singing along with Eline Khalaf, for those who don’t know Yara; she is Fatina’s daughter, she is 3 years old but doesnt talk yet for some reason, her mom took her to so many specialists, they all said that there is nothing wrong with her, she is just SHY! but look at her here singing the song.. she was soooooooo cute :)

The “half empty” means you’re pessimistic analogy has always been a mystery to me. Yeah, I get the analogy, but I think we’re looking at the wrong side of the glass sometimes. Why focus on what’s already in the container when there is so much empty space to fill? The empty space is the exciting part. It means that there is freedom to create and do and be. It’s space. It’s room to breathe. I like the empty part of the glass. To me the glass will always be half-empty. In fact, I’m usually looking for things to pour out of it to make MORE room. Less is More. Empty is the New Full.

 I’ve been away for a while, so what’s up? How are you my friends? Miss walahi, bs I’ve been busy the past few days, it doesn’t mean I wasn’t reading for all of you, cuz I was, I comments whenever I have time Kaman :)

So what’s going on? Hope you all are having great time in this holiday season, Christmas is coming soon, it’s great how where ever I look from my office window (yay!! I’m on the 4^th floor and I can see the city from there :D ) I see all kinds of X-Mas decorations, and since I leave work late, the view is just amazing while driving, the lights are breath taking.

Enough with the X-Mas and the lights, work is great el 7amdolla, I’m getting used it little by little, I learn new things every day, I love that, I actually and the first time in my life I don’t mind staying late at work, beside the fact that I don’t’ have a life, I actually enjoy it.

I know I’m as active as before, but I promise I’ll be back, walahi, just wish me luck you guys, and I actually have a lot to say, I’ll post about it all later today or tomoroow, I promise.

Gotta go back to work, this was a little HELLO from me to all of you :)

Today was my first day at the new job, I’m no longer a Pharmacy Technician, I’m starting over in a different field, the IT field.

To tell the truth, I was extremely scared, I haven’t been working with computer for more than 3 years, to be more specific, I haven’t been working with computers since I graduated, I guess that gives me all the right to panic!!

But thank god, things today went OK, once I walked in, everybody was super busy and nobody explained anything to me for the first 2 hours, I was FREAKING OUT, what the heck I’m suppose to do, I mean my new boss explained to me that I’m gonna go through a week or so of training, but my “teacher” was doing things around me EXTREMELY FAST, I started to ask myself, am I dumb or is he trying to make me think that I am??? I mean I know I’m not stupid, but he was clicking the buttons in away that I didn’t get the chance to read what he was clicking, give me a break what are you trying to prove?? DUH!!!!!

So what did I do, I just smiled at him and asked him about the documentation they keep for the system, and his first respond was, NOOOOOO :) the documentation is too complicated for you now, what did I do, I went to my desk trying to read the documentation they have, until another guy showed up, I asked him if I can set quietly just to watch what he does to get myself familiar with things around here, the guy was so nice and started explaining things while he is doing it, I felt SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER!!! HEHEHE I’m not stupid, the other dude was trying to freak me out for absolutely no reason.. some people are really something!!

So all in all, my first day was OK :) , I’m gonna have to study hard for the next few days, but that’s fine, I don’t mind at all, as long as I don’t feel dumb :D

I’m so excited, I love my new job, everything is hard at first, bs I promise I’m gonna do my best.

P.S: Battah… thank you VERY MUCH for being there for me today and for supporting me, I don’t know what would’ve happened without you!! I love you :)

 Good for you guys, you having another meeting while I’m away, I was hoping that I will meet all of you last March, but hey, things did go the way I planned.

I saw an announcement on Aya’s Blog about it, I wish I can be there with you guys, but you will not forget to take pictures right? right? RIGHT?? :D

So guys, have fun, and looks like the place is nice, and the agenda is interesting, when I come over to Amman I WANT ONE!! :D but for now I’ll share with you the details about it, have fun 3anni law sama7to ;)

بستغرب من تصرفات بعض البنات المتزوجات من الجيل الجديد، إللي بتسب على زوجها او إللي بتعلي صوتها عليه إذا ما عجبها كلامه، و اللي بتنكد عليه عيشته إذا ما عمل اللي بدها ياه، و يا الله البنات اللي بركضوا يشكو لأهاليهم عن كم الشب ظالمهم ناسين أو متناسين إنو لو هي سامحته أهلها مش رح يسامحوا اللي “غلط” في بنتهم، و هاد كلام أنا متأكده منو ١٠٠% لسبب بسيط.. أهلك يا بنت يا عاقله ما بشوفوا زوجك زي مع إنتي شايفتيه

  عشت ٢٦ سنه لا عمري سمعت ماما بتعلي صوتها على بابا ولا حتى حكتلو كلمة “ولك” ولو عن مزح، يا ترى ليه؟؟ لأنها ما بتقدر؟؟ لأ طبعا بس لأنو في “إحترام”، شو ما صار بينهم بضل الإحترام أساس التعامل

قبل ٤ سنين لما بنت خالتي  قررت تتزوج ما كانت امها راضيه عن زواجها، من غير تفاصيل ما إلها داعي، ماما مسكتها و حكتلها عن أمامة بنت الحارث و عن الوصايا إللي أي أم ممكن توصيهم لبنتها (بحكم إنو ماما زي امها و بتمون

شو جاب على بالي هاد الكلام؟ وحده صاحبه إلي منكده على زوجها عيشته بدها شنطة ب ١٣٠٠$ لراس السنه (على شو ب ١٣٠٠$ ؟ لا تسألوني) … المهم دورت لحد ما لقيت النص اللي ماما كانت تحكي عنه

هذه وصيه أم صالحه لابنتها قبل زواجها

 

خلت الأم الصالحة العاقلة البليغة أمامة بنت الحارث خلت بابنتها في ليلة زفافها وأهدت إليها هذه الوصية الغالية

 

قالت الأم لابنتها: أي بنية إن الوصية لو تركت لفضل أدب لتركت ذلك لك ولكنها تذكرة للغافلة ومعونة للعاقلة

 

أي بنية: لو أن امرأة استغنت عن الزوج، لغنى أبويها وشدة حاجتهما إليهما، لكنت أغنى الناس عنه، ولكن النساء للرجال خلقن، ولهن خلق الرجال، فخذي وصيتي فإن فيها تنبيه الغافل ومعون للعاقل

 

أي بنية: إنك فارقت الجو الذي منه خرجت، وخلفت العيش الذي فيه درجت، إلى وكر لم تعرفيه، وقرين لم تأليفه، فأصبح بملكه عليه رقيباً ومليكاً، فكوني له أمة يكن لك عبداً

 

واحفظي له خصالاً عشراً تكن لك ذخراً

 

أما الأولى والثاني: فالخضوع له بالقناعة، وحسن السمع له والطاعة

 

وأما الثالثة والرابعة: فالتفقد لمواضع عينه وأنفه، فلا تقع عينه منك على قبيح، ولا يشم منك إلا طيب ريح

 

وأما الخامسة والسادسة: فالتفقد لوقت منامه وطعامه فإن تواتر الجوع ملهبة، وتنغيص النوم مغضبة

 

وأما السابعة والثامنة : فالاحتراس لماله والإرعاء على حشمه وعياله ، وملاك الأمر في المال حسن التدبير وفي العيال حسن التقدير

 

وأما التاسعة والعاشرة: فلا تعصي له أمراً، ولا تفشي له سراً فإنك إن خالفت أمره أوغرت صدره، وإن أفشيت سره لم تأمني غدره

 

ثم إياك والفرح بين يديه إن كان مغتماً، والكآبة بين يديه إن كان فرحاً

 

صعبين؟؟ والله لأ .. ليش الناس بصير معها شغلات غريبه أنا ما بعرف… الله يعين الناس

“Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work – and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.” ~ Lucille Ball

My friends and I have a little pet phrase we say when one or the other of us doing something a little crazy or expecting some dramatic result. We say, sarcastically and with eyebrows raised, “Good luck with that.” Luck doesn’t exist. Sure, you can be in the “right place” at the “right time” but opportunity isn’t going to knock unless you are expecting it to show up. Working hard towards a goal is the fastest way to invite opportunity into your life. Sitting on your duff and expecting life to hand something over to you is absurd. Work hard, work often and opportunity will come.

I believe it was Thomas Edison who explained “Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.” Boy was he right. And so is Lucille when she tells us we must realize what opportunity is and what isn’t. So many options are available to us today that it is often difficult to determine the good from the bad. So many rabbit trails, so little time… This is where goal setting comes in to play. Knowing what you want, who you want to be and where you want to be can help you filter out the distractions that turn out to be rabbit trails. (Rabbit trails are bad. Remember Alice in Wonderland? She followed the little white rabbit and look what happened to her.) You have to look for and recognize the gritty overalls – those are your true opportunities.

To every guy that’s said, “You’re beautiful.”
To every guy that was never too busy to drive across town (or across the state) to see her.
To every guy that gives flowers and a card when she is sick.
To every guy who has given her flowers just because.
To every guy that said he would die for her.
To every guy that really would.
To every guy that did what she wanted to do.
To every guy that cried in front of her.
To every guy that she cried in front of.
To every guy that holds hands with her.
To every guy that kisses her with meaning.
To every guy that hugs her when she’s sad.
To every guy that hugs her for no reason at all.
To every guy who would give their jacket up for her.
To every guy that calls to make sure she got home safe.
To every guy that would sit and wait for her for hours just to see her for ten minutes
To every guy that would give his seat up.
To every guy that reassured her that she was beautiful no matter what.
To every guy who told his secrets to her.
To every guy that tried to show how much he cared through every word and every breath.
To every guy that thought maybe this could be the one.
To every guy that believed in her dreams.
To every guy that would have done anything so she could achieve them.
To every guy that never laughed at her when she told him her dreams.
To every guy that walked her to her car.
To every guy that gave his heart.
To every guy who prays that she is happy even if you are not with her.

…This is for you…

Not many girls appreciate nice guys anymore… And because of this, there are not many left out there…

That’s all from where I sit.

Besides the word “can’t,” there are two other words that I just don’t like.  The words “I wish”.  To me, the words “I wish” are equivalent to the words “I can’t”.  It drives me nuts when people sit around and say “I wish this would happen” or “I wish I could do this…”  I literally scratch my head and think why aren’t they making that happen?  If you find yourself saying “I wish” then something in your world isn’t quite they way you want it to be.  Change it.  And don’t tell me you “can’t”.
