الله يرحمك يا خالي

اللهم ان خالي صالح في ذمتك وحبل جوارك فقه من فتنة القبر وعذاب النار وانت اهل الوفاء والحق فاغفر له وارحمه يا رب العالمين

اللهم ابدله دارا خيرا من داره واهلا خيرا من اهله وادخله الجنة واعذه من عذاب القبر ومن عذاب النار
.اللـهـم عاملة بما انت اهله ولا تعامله بما هو اهله
.اللـهـم اجزه عن الاحسان إحسانا وعن الأساءة عفواً وغفراناً
. اللـهـم إن كان محسناً فزد من حسناته , وإن كان مسيئاً فتجاوز عن سيئاته
.اللـهـم ادخله الجنة من غير مناقشة حساب ولا سابقة عذاب
.اللـهـم اّنسه في وحدته وفي وحشته وفي غربته
. اللـهـم انزله منزلاً مباركا وانت خير المنزلين
.اللـهـم انزله منازل الصديقين والشهداء والصالحين وحسن اولئك رفيقا
.اللـهـم اجعل قبره روضة من رياض الجنة ,ولا تجعله حفرة من حفر النار
.اللـهـم افسح له في قبره مد بصره وافرش قبره من فراش الجنة
.اللـهـم اعذه من عذاب القبر ,وجاف ِالارض عن جنبيها
.اللـهـم املأ قبره بالرضا والنور والفسحة والسرور

اللـهـم انه عبدك و ابن عبدك و ابن امتك مات و هو يشهد لك بالوحدانية و لرسولك بالشهادة فأغفر له إنك انت الغفار
.اللـهـم لا تحرمنا اجره ولا تفتنا بعده و اغفر لنا و له و اجمعنا معه في جنات النعيم يا رب العالمين
.اللـهـم انزل علي اهله الصبر والسلوان و ارضهم بقضائك.اللـهـم ثبتهم علي القول الثابت في الحياه الدنيا وفي الاخره ويوم يقوم الاشهاد
.اللـهـم صلي وسلم وبارك علي سيدنا محمد وعلي اّله وصحبه وسلم إلي يوم الدين

Diet Update #4

WOW.. I am half way through already.. This past week I was so dedicated to my diet I didn’t cheat and I didn’t screw it AT ALL!!...

OMG the weekend was such a challenge, junk food was all over the house, my mom ordered something that I REALLY LOVE but of course it is on the forbidden list so I just had to look at it and droll lool.. my sis kept on getting subway cookies.. and my friends kept on inviting me and tempting me with things and they really wanted to me to screw my diet.. anyways I didn’t submit to them and I stood tall.. Oh the party.. There was this house party that I was invited in.. It was nice.. not as I had it in mind but ok.. Anyways I saw friends I didn’t see for a long time, I mingled and I did Mr. Bean dance (specially for desertpalms). here are some pics from the party’s temptation..

I didn’t eat anything, I just drank water the whole time I was there.. Determination or what?!!
wallah i am so proud of my self.. my friends couldn't believe i will actually just look at food and not eat it!!! YAY!! *does a happy dance*

So over all the week was GREAT!! But is was kinda slow. Not sure how many weeks left. I am loosing count already, but end of the year aint far!!! I’d say I was 98% on track and I am happy with that.. Still playing football and tennis, stopped jogging…

That is all for this week. Looking forward for week #5 :D

Voice of Inspiration #2

Due to recent budget cuts...

Rising the costs of electricity, gas and oil...

As well as current market conditions...

And the continued decline of the U.S. economy...

The Light At The End Of The Tunnel Has Been Turned Off...............

SWEETS FROM THE UK!!

I GOT SWEETS FROM THE UK.. YAY!! *\o/*
*does my happy retarded dance* LOL!!

OMG my friend ‘Max’ got me these sweets from the U.K she says it is famous there and I soooo love it.. I like the ‘Rock’ sweet is just takes you to another level loool..

Here is a pic of what i got!!



Oh about my diet, yes i am still on it and not i didn’t eat them, I just tasted is a very tiny bit of it. The lollypop i gave it away and the rock sweet i gave it to my mom and sis. I don’t think i can survive the five weeks looking and them without eating them lol.. Plus, Desertpalms promised me sweets so i am having hope to get some from her once my diet is over which will be in 5 weeks… *fingers crossed*

'MAX' YOU ARE SUCH A DOLL *HUGS*And e7im, not sure if i thanked you, so THAAAANNNNNKKKKKIIIIIIEEEEEE

Diet Update #3

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Hey all.. wow, I’ve been away for quite sometime now.. I have lots of catching up to do.. I had a blast last week.. I had a soccer match with the American school.. Yes my team won 2-0. That was a very nice match, did some catching up with some series that I watch, so it was great to just lay back and watch tv and relax..

Ok regarding the diet, week 3 passed fast. I did fewer mistakes unlike before. I managed to stick to the diet abit more than usual.. and yesterday was the first day to do the diet without adding anything from outside.. Wallah I am so proud of my self.. I totally can do it.. Now I have 5 more weeks to go and I feel great. I can see some positive effects on my body, people started to notice that I am loosing a bit.. So that is even a bigger motivation for me.. To maintain this, i will be doing soccer and tennis regularly, i can feel my body is starting to tone and that makes me so happy..

Now the real test comes in the weekend, I have this girls party to attend and all the temptations will be there.. Um is it ok if I dance my heart out and also eat? Balance la :)

Oh well, will see how it goes..

Lets roll to week 4..

The New President

Obama is the 44th U.S president.. let's hope for the best (Quoted from Queen)

This is a historical day..I am happy for him.. I was one of his supporters and i so wanted him to win.. Congrats Obama, you did it and you made history with it..

We ask Allah to make him more sensible about Islam and helpful to lighten the pressure on us and change Americans thoughts about Islam..

Diet Update #2

Now that 2 weeks has passed things should be easier but it is NOT! God I am suffering, and all the good things come in the time that you so0o don’t want them to come in. So this week was worse than week one. The breakfast and dinners are not bad and 90% on spot but the in-between and the weekend is where the screw up happened!!..

My diet got screwed on the following occasions:
One- Following up with ‘sexy lips’'s birthday and we had an outing and everything went down the drain.
Two- Someone in the office had a promotion and invited us for PIZZA.. how can I say no to that!!
Three- I was sick and I wanted to pamper my self so I took a break.
Four- The weekend welcomed me with open arms LOL..
Five- It was someone else’s birthday so you know the drill..

Anyhow, this week I would rate my self a 40% on track and 60% off track.. But really give me a break.. This week I did more exercise than ever.. I played soccer, I jogged and I also played tennis. So yeah I think I managed to burn what I ate “I know wishful thinking”lool..

I feel great and I feel like I lost some sha7am on the sides so that is always a good sign :D

Yala let week #3 being..

Coloured Shughar--(sugar)

My sister 9ara7a 3ajeeeeeeeba.. she took the normal white sugar and turned it into pink and other colours..

I mean really,, mo 6abee3i how she did it.. Here i took a pic..

Now the question that i have is "What on earth am i suppose to do with coloured sugar?"
So i asked her and the conversation went something like this..

Me: Wow, nice coloured sugar.. looks pretty..
Sis: Yeah, isn't it... *smiles*
Me: ohh i will go and make tea and put it in there..
Sis: What! NO!! you wont!
Me: WTH?! why not? i mean it sugar and you are meant to use it..
Sis: Yeah but not in tea!
Me: o.0 'by this point i am already confused why do we a9lan have colour sugar'.. Ok, then where can i use this sugar in?
Sis: You know, in cakes or as decoration for baked stuff or food..
Me: ok, it is not like we bake these things everyday.. so for me, tea is where it will go..
Sis: 'still arguing that i am wasting a perfect coloured sugar or tea' No,, 7araaam.. ma zain..
Me: o.0 Really?!

I really still don't get it.. and yeah she won the argument and i didn't get to make my tea pink by using the coloured sugar :( !!!

Studying and Tv

Diet Update #1

So week one has passed.. and e7im, well lets say it didn’t really go as planned!! LOL.. I screwed the diet in so many occasions... Well, not really but it got screwed for 4 reasons:
One- coz my will power was always over powered.
Two- coz people keep on giving my chocolates and sweets.
Three- coz it was someone’s birthday.
Four- coz the weekend arrived!!

Ok, to be honest, I always do fine during the day, but at night I don’t follow it BUT i do eat the healthy food that they cook at home,, you know mixed vegetables, steamed fish, grilled chicken, etc. I hope my doctor doesn’t read this post :p

So my progress is as the following.. I managed to follow my diet 70% of the time and I screwed it 30% only,, I exercise everyday, so that helps based on “3anooda’s” philosophy “be optimistic coz at least you are doing something and in the end you are balancing”..

Anyways, I feel great and I feel light and I feel like I shaped up a bit *smiles*

On to week #2…

Voice of Inspiration #1

There comes a point in our lives when we realize who matters, who never did, who wont anymore and who always will.. So we shouldn't worry about people from our past... There is a reason why they didn't make it to our future!!

Dieting

Today i started my diet.. My Doctor has been pushing me to start this diet since forever.. So i promised i would start it in Oct.. so here i am.. The plan is to loose 10kg, and the deadline is new year.. So i got my programme and now all i have to do it follow it right to the last word.. and since i am jogging and training, it should really help me to loose it faster and more healthier..

The first day today was not a bad one.. i followed it all, i feel great and i jogged without feeling dizzy or anything so that is good..

I am determined and i can do it.. i believe in my self and i can be the biggest looser.. LOL!

I CAN DO IT!!!

yala.. wish me luck..

Scary Statistics..

This is really freaky.. During the Eid period of a week time, 35 people died!!! And 227 injured!!! Guys really, drive safely..

Statistics, as published by ROP (Royal Oman Police), show an increase in road fatalities this year. Total number of accidents came down by 15% so far compared to same period last year however, fatalities increased by 21% and injuries by 24%.

ROP have attributed the increased death rate to (over)speeding, wrong overtaking, reckless driving and usage of mobile phones. Please be extra vigilant while driving and exercise your defensive driving techniques to avoid being another statistics in ROP list. Make sure that you comply with all road rules and regulations and keep the Road Consequence Matrix at the back of your mind.

May you all be safe while driving and reach the desired destination in one piece..

Allah ye7fa'9kum jamee3an....

Worth it :p

30 min jogging..
2 small bottle of water..
Almost 200 calories burned..
Ruined by 3 pieces of Patchi chocolate..
And a plate of ma3carona bil bashamel..

Priceless…
P.s I am not even feeling guilty

Although I should coz I really jogged min el qalb

Stereotyping The Omani WorkerzZzZz...

Inspired by posts from “Abi Omi Abi Oboooy” and “'6ay3a OO Day5a”

I present to you, the stereotypes of Female Workers:

The Newbies
These are the types of girls who are clueless and just started working. Not really sure how to dress up or what to wear. They usually tend to change their styles very often and don’t really stick to one. Every week is a new thing to them till they get their groove. They are usually lost work-wise.

The Modest
These types are the ones who are ok. They come in a calm style. Once in awhile there is a change, but usually dressing up is a routine for them and they really don’t care as long as they do their job right.

The Kash5a
These are the evil Arab women who come in dressed in weird style Abbaya’a and they are all about the bo5ur, 3anbar and 3ood. They come in with heavy perfumes that float and linger in the air till you suffocate. All what they care about is the new Abbaya style, whether it is the “French” style or the “African” style, as long as it is new and on the market, they will just buy it and wear it and blind you with their sense of fashion. They don’t care about work as much as they do about the gossiping.

The Magazine Diva
These are the “Fashion Show Ladies” as everyday is a new glamorous day walking in the work runway,, “oops” I mean hallway, with the new Gucci bag, and Prada outfit and Nine West shoes. The talk is all about Mani and Padi and latest fashion crisis. They are usually seen in groups where you cannot mingle with them. Always criticizing the other type of women fashion-wise. Mostly seen eating a low fat yoghurt or drinking caffeine free coffee just to maintain their figure. They are 24/7 on diet.

The Gothic
These are the ladies who are always in black. Black abbaya or a black outfit. Seen in dull make up or with no make up at all. Very unpleasant company and anti social. Always at the corner desk at the end of the office. Gives weird vibes and suspected of using black magic.

The Zbala
These are the ones who come to the office smelling like kitchen. For god sake, it is 8 in the morning what could you have possibly cooked to be smelling like this?? They usually look like they just woke up and they are comfortably sitting at their home. You see them in every team gathering or farewell for the free food. When you need them for work you don’t find them as typically they always have “home/child crisis” waiting ahead in the day.

The Oldies

These are the women who mar 3alehum el dahar and they still don't want to retire. Very old fashion and not really up-todate. Usually seen in groups and never alone. Everyday there is a gathering in of the offices. Doesn't do any work, then complains about the new graduates that come into the company and gets paid more than them.

And here are the stereotypes of Male Workers:

The Normal Dude
Maskeeen hatha el dude. Always minding his own business. Likes to wear the dishdasha and doesn't really mingle at work. Usually married right after graduation. Very dedicated in their work.

The Western Dude
The pants, jeans, and t-shirt guy. Mako wa6aniya at all. If you talk to him in Arabic, Hindi, French or Swahili, he will just reply you in English with an accent ba3ad. Tlaqi bara el wa6an ma-sar. Always criticizing abna2 el sha3b on how behind they are. These types are always charming and running after the Magazine Diva Ladies.

The Over Doing it Dude
These are the male version on the Kash5a Ladies. They are always in new dishdashas, new fragrance, new bu5oor. Charming in the typical "bado" way. They think they are all that and they represent the typical khaliji male attitude. Always seen around the Kash5a and Magazine Diva Ladies. Usually married but searching for wife No.2.

The I Don’t Care Dude
Howa o hindi el shari3 wa7id. Doesn’t really care about the looks. Usually smells like the sun + sweat. The dishdasha always has a stain of curry or tea on it. You never see them in their seats. Always seen in banks or drinking tea in the cafeteria.

Eid Mubarak

Kul 3am o antum be5air.. 3asakum min 3awada.. Eid Mubaarak y’all
A special Eid greeting goes to:
‘Woody’ , ‘Manu’ , ‘Muffin’, ‘Sexy Lips’, ‘Blue’, ‘Mc Evil’, ‘Queen Nusy’, ‘Mean B’, ‘Merry’, ‘Sis’, ‘Um Mannar’, ‘Dee’ ‘My Tomato’ and ‘My Doctor’.. and speaking of My Doctor, uhh Doc, Yes I know I’ve been avoiding my session with you, I promise will pass by after eid..

Wishing you all a very wonderful Eid and may you enjoy it to the max..

Abbaya Crisis

THEY RUINED MY ABBAYA!!!! Seriously… You took the perfect measurements.. is it so much to ask when I just say, make it EXACTLY like this one??!!! Why do you have to go and change accordingly to what you like?

ARRGGGHHH… Amazing is the mind of some people..!!

What happened to work ethics and efficiency?

*Updated* So i guess i was over stressed and exhausted, and when i tried my Abbaya i felt like it was the end of the world.. Guess what, it was very minor things and my Abbaya is PERFECT LOL.. *does my happy dance*.. Mission--Solved :P

Balloons and Hairs!!

I was talking to my friend "Woody" and we came across a childhood game that we used to play. Its when you take the balloon and you rub it in your hair then you stick it to the wall.. How naive yet happy we were *drifts back to those days*

Anyways, so as we talked about it, i was telling her, not everyone could do that, just coz you have soft hair maybe you could, but us with "e7im" hard hair, it was a bit difficult. She did not understand how i couldn't do it.. so i had to draw it for her..

My First Blog, My First Post

*does a retarded happy dance*
YAY!! FINALLY! It is about time already.. Wow I am a blogger now *sees my self big in my own eyes* LOOL!

Wow,, as a blogger now, and as this is my first post, I would like to thank the friends who supported me and believed that I can do this *sniff* I am sorry I am getting kinda emotional..

I would like to thank “sexy lips” for her support, and “Manu” for standing by my side, and “queen nusy” for her charm, “woody” for the semi support, and most of all I would like to thank “My Doctor” for putting me off medication and saying that I can lead a normal life from now on.

Thank you
*applause*
