High Expectations…

You’ve spent so much time planning.

Let yourself fall…

Messing up…that’s what makes a person, that’s how we learn.

You enjoy things the most when you don’t see it coming, when you don’t expect it.

Recipe For A Friendship….

I was known for making the worst recipes ever on the blogsphere .. but today I found something that I’m actually good at :)

This is my recipe for Friendship:

First, take an ounce of a smile,

add two friendly eyes,

blend in arms that hug well,

and mix with a measure of supportive words.

Stir in hearts that connect and top with a measure of souls that bond.

Allow to rise over time and communications.

After a moderate amount of baking, remove from oven and DO NOT allow to cool.

Makes enough for daily consumption

RELATIONSHIPS EXPERTS!!!!!!!!!

Update

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE MOM, DAD, BROTHERS, UNCLE, EM YOUSEF/BILAL, AND THE CLOSE FRIENDS I HAVE AROUND ME!!!!!!!

I’m not mad; I’m not upset, I’m not angry…. But why the hell people start acting like experts when it comes to relationships???Everyone has something to say, everyone has an advice to tell you “although you never asked for it, never even talked about it” but still you still have to listen to every single word they say because “you don’t know what best for you” or “you don’t know what you are doing”… YEEEEEEEEEEEE… KHALAS MSHAAAAAAAAAAAAN ALLAH KHALAS…

I think at a certain point we should be responsible for our decisions, and have the right to do what we think it’s right (AS LONG AS IT DOESN’T EFFECT OR HURT ANYBODY ELSE)…  but will that stop them from talking and keep pushing??? Of course not!!!

What’s worse is that when you try to deliver your message “politely” , and tell them that you don’t want to talk about it, they get mad at you like you did a crime or something!!! And will accuse you of being stubborn for the sake of it, and you never listen, and dadadadadadadadada…. OOOOOOOOOOOOR when you tell them what you think, and that you are ok and that you don’t feel that something wrong going on, you will be “WEIRD”, or worse.. you will be accused of being “IN DENIAL” … what the hell… are you setting in my head??? Sometimes I don’t even understand myself, and I don’t really know what’s goes in that brain of mine, I would say something and disagree with myself the next day!! And now you are telling me that you know me better than I know myself???? Whatever!!!

Ok… I’m weird, and I’m happy with it, being weird doesn’t bother me… and the people I’m dealing are ok with it too… why do you keep pushing and pushing and pushing???

::sigh::

Guys… you have to see this… it’s extremely funny.. OH MY GOD…  :D LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I was laughing nonstop :D … LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

It’s a  must see .. VERY VERY FUNNY :D

Behave at the gym… follow the etiquette!!!

In a perfect world everyone would use common sense and be naturally thoughtful of others 100% of the time but, unfortunately, we live in a real world… not a perfect one!Oh my.

That’s what I was saying to myself at the gym the other day as I was waiting…and waiting…and waiting for the chest press machine because someone decided to do a million sets and didn’t want to share ::Sigh::

Anytime you smush groups of sweaty people together in small spaces, there are bound to be some problems and, though there may not be rules posted around the gym for how to act, there are some unspoken rules that all of us should be familiar with, whether we’re veteran exercisers or we’re just starting out.

The Basics

While it’s perfectly acceptable to sweat, grunt and make mean faces while working out, there are a few behaviors that aren’t acceptable.

Based on other’s comments I hear in my gym every session, I feel it’s a good idea for gym users (new and old) to refresh their memories. Some of these points people may disagree with, but if you are aware of them, apply common sense and stay mindful of them then you’ll help to make your training environment a happier place to be.

1. Share.

If you’re doing multiple sets on a machine, it’s common courtesy to let others work in during your rest periods…this may not always be practical, but offer to share whenever you can.

2. Clean up After Yourself.

My biggest pet peeve is someone who walks away from a machine, leaving a slimy pool of sweat behind…Thanks! Always bring the invention called towel with you and wipe the machines down when you’re finished. People would rather not use their own towel to wipe off another person’s sweat

3. Leave no trace.

My next biggest pet peeve is the person who leaves six million pounds on the leg press machine and walks away. I don’t know…maybe I look stronger than I am. The point is, when you’re using a plate-loaded machine, be sure to put your  plates away when you’re finished.

4. Don’t hog.

Do not sit on equipment you are not using (especially if it’s busy), and PLEASE Do NOT hog equipment by spending unnecessary time chatting too long between or after sets (especially if you are using equipment that there is only one of). Many gyms have time limits on cardio machines during busy hours. There’s a reason for that, and you should obey it. And no, throwing your towel over the display doesn’t fool me!

5. Keep it down.

Most gym-goers I know have seen That Guy. The one pumping away on the treadmill while screaming into a cell phone. Unless it’s an emergency, save your chat-time for after your workouts.

6. Don’t drop the weights.
While a gym is not a church, do try to respect the peace and quiet of your fellow members. Don’t drop weights from a high elevation for no reason. You certainly don’t want the elderly gentlemen on the treadmill to slip and fall because he thinks Armageddon is here.

7. Let them finish.

Do not interrupt people mid-set by talking to them or asking a question. Wait until they have finished the set (this happens to me quite a lot)

8. Stay away.

Do not move too near people when they are lifting as it can be very distracting having someone walking right behind you when you are deadlifting

9. Ask before you use.

Do ask if people are finished with equipment once they have got up. Try not to assume they have, and defiantly Do not just move equipment that has just been left alone for a moment. Check to see if it’s finished with first (they may have just gone to get a drink of water or some more paper to wipe down equipment with)

10. CELL PHONE CELL PHONE CELL PHONE.

Do not, if not needed, have your mobile phone on. It is very distracting having phones going off in a gym every 5 minutes then people talking really loudly above the music to be heard. If you’re not expecting an urgent call then leave it in your locker

11. Hygiene people HYGIENE.

Do ensure you maintain your personal hygiene. It’s not nice for others to smell your two weeks old training shirt that you’ve been sweating in every day

And finally … Be polite as much as possible!!!

As you can see, this is not rocket science but basic common sense and respect for others. At the end of the day, it’s very easy to pay our fee and take the gym for granted. We just need to remember that it is not only ourselves that train there.

Happy lifting folks! :)

GEMINI FULL MOON…..

Last night I enjoyed watching the full moon (actually tonight is the 100% full moon, yesterday was 99%). The room was beautiful, I had candles everywhere in all colors, flowers on my night stand, my favorite music was playing in the background it was a mystical magical time, the full moon was shining down on me.

I don’t know why do I love full moon that much, it’s one of the things that makes me naturally high, and at the same time; it’s one of the things that makes me think the most!!

This is definitely an intense full moon, and I’m busy riding the wave of emotion it brings with it. It’s not always enjoyable to see things as they truly are, but sometimes it brings remarkable clarity.  For me personally, I have trouble trusting my intuition and messages that I am given, and this last few months, I have been given many.  My whole life has made a huge turn, and some days I hardly know myself.  Sometimes this clarity can be welcome as it can take away illusions, but also the doubts that can eat away at our ability to move forward.

This is the truth or dare Full Moon; a time to honor the transformative power of truth-telling and a very intense Full Moon to put into action (through ritual release) the goals you set at the New Moon in Aries. Since this Full Moon falls in a water sign, releasing your intentions near a stream, river, lake, or ocean is particularly powerful. But before you let go, have one last look at your goals. Whom do they truly serve? What will they bring to the world? Gemini seeks deep truth by peeling back layers of lies and half-truths-within us and without us. This is a Full Moon… to see things as they truly are, not as you wish them to be.

Maioush did a good thing today :) …

I’m so happy, I helped a friend at work today :) , I can’t be any happier :D .One of my coworkers just moved to a new apartment, and poor girl she has been always struggling financially, I mean she lives all by herself, a single mom for 2 wonderful boys, and she has been raised in a foster home herself, and I was feeling really bad for her, I wish I can do anything to help without making her feel bad, or hurt her feelings if you know what I mean!

So… I took advantage of the fact that she just moved to this new apartment, and I started collecting money for her so we can give it to her as a gift for the new house :) .. non of my coworkers liked the idea in the beginning, but as usual, I don’t take no for an answer (ya lahwi sho banno2 :D ) … if there is something I can do to help, or if there is something you need to do for you own good, I won’t leave you alone until you do it, I know it sounds pretty annoying, but do it out of love walahi :)

So any way, I was able to convince everybody to participate  :D … and guess how much I was able to collect … $785 YAAAAAAAAAAAY .. this is great, I mean it’s not a big number, but the pharmacy department is such a small department, and I managed to collect that much. Of money, I’m so happy :D …

I’ll give it to her tomorrow as a gift credit card :D … I hope she’ll be happy… I’m soooooo excited … I was ablt to do something good today … god that makes me feel wonderful.. :D

LET THEM BE..!!!

I don’t know why I always get fed up with this kind of people.I seldom, or I can say I never like to argue with others. But then, I don’t know why that whenever I have a conversation with those people, always end up in a frustration mood.

Well, they never agree with others. What’s in their opinion is always right and others are always wrong. Yes, never, and not a single thing that they ever agree with. What make me frustrated is that when they feel like they are about to lose, they will raise up their voice to support their opinion.

Let them be, I got nothing to lose. And there is no right and wrong after all.
