Thoughts going through my head

These are my thoughts, many might disagree, and others might agree, just come out and say what you think.

or should I say 'these are some of the thoughts going through my head'? (props to Biz. :P)

You can't go on living and making the most of this life, achieving your goals, etc. before trusting your foundations, before accepting your roots, where you come from, before taking your identity as a whole and acknowledge is as what makes you the person you're now, and part of that is your dreams. You need to live with it, allow it to be part of you, because it actually is.

A good thing or bad, that's not for you to decide, you shouldn't keep things inside, accept them and then decide if you want to keep it and let people see it, or if you want to tossing once and forever. Make sure you are throwing it away not hiding it in the basement.

I need a holiday! Seriously, I need to GO AWAY!

It's not like I'm spending so much time studying and I need a break, no, I'm not studying much even though I have mid-terms, it's just that I'm always so tired so I'm constantly wasting my time doing nothing and everything at once.

Three more days of March, and then April, and then my Birthday and I don't care whatever think but I feel like I didn't do enough in life!

Let's say I'm 20, so I'm going to live to be 60 then I live one third of my life! I mean 40 sounds like a million years from now, but to think of it as a ratio from your total life, it just sound too short and I will never have time to do what I want to do!

News:
I believe the women way of solving the pigeon's problem is showing better results that the men's way as there are barely any pigeons on our neighbor's house, they all moved to our house. :P

Malsoon's speaking skills is improving significantly; I think he is showing more progress than me! Last week when I was leaving the house I said 'bye Malsoon' and guess what?

Malsoon was like 'bye Malsoon!'

I was dancing! He sounded so…Malsoonish!

I love it when he starts talking to the birds whistling near his window. He goes 'Malsooon?' on and on, and they keep whistling and then he starts blabbering. There are two schools at home about what he is thinking when he is doing that.

- After he says Malsoon and they don't speak people, Malsoon is probably thinking 'god! They are so stupid and ignorant! They can't even talk! I mean come on!'
- Malsoon is actually telling them 'my name is Malsoon, what's yours?'

Mid-terms are this week, it's going okay so far. Thanks God.

Have a good day and keep smiling, it confuses people. :)

I'm innocent

The upcoming UNICEF charity song 'I'm innocent' by Neil Monteiro is available online and will be for few more weeks.

I would suggest you all be nice and go download it from this link.

You can then help promote it, tell people about it, copy it on CDs and sing it (only if you have a nice voice) and tell me about the song. Then ask people to donate a simple amount of money and take it to the UNICEF in your country. The money will be used in that headquarter then.

And btw, this was taken from sleepless in Muscat, thanks Ali.

Flowers make me happy.

After a long day hopping from one class to another at the university; talking to people, reading, writings, studying, and meetings and planning, I leave my class and walk tiredly toward the gate.

I walk through the food court and see all these students, studying, talking, eating, laughing, crying, sulking, or just sitting there wondering what are they doing in such a place. Then you notice the professors here and there just there to grab something to eat before running to their offices or classes or maybe back home where the food is so bad that they are instead eating at the university.

The food court is the heart of the university; it's where you breathe all that youth energy and vibe and feel it.

Women from different nationalities and backgrounds each has her own history and plan for the future and is here for a different reason; they all meet here.

This week there is a flowers festival and so the food court and corridors are crowded with flowers and plants – it's a green world in our university this week. J

I had to stay for an hour after classes on Monday so I decided to go check the flowers. I blocked all voices because it was so crowded and walked back and forth many times; I just couldn't have enough of the flowers and plants.

I don't know flowers and plants because memorizing names would be such a headache for me, but I love flowers and I know that, the roses were so nice and they wouldn't sell them because they are not for sale. I almost cried right there and then because I wanted those roses!

I wanted to buy a flower for many people but didn't buy any because they wouldn't give me the roses I wanted!

I left the building and was feeling so light, as if I was flying not walking outside. The green grass and blue sky just makes me high when there is no burning sun.

I didn't want to walk on the pavement; I wanted to walk on the grass. I didn't want to walk straight and get there fast; I wanted to capture the moment and save it for a bad day. I didn't want to block the sounds; I wanted to listen to the birds and the quietness.

Thinking of a day like that will always bring back a hint of a smile, and that's what I want to remember after I graduate.

I felt so happy and wanted to share that.

What's something that you will miss in your routine these days when these days are over?

Java!

I just spent more than few minutes playing with Java, he is the so sweet and cute, you are welcome to play with him! He can turn his head in a circle like this... *tries to turn head around* ouch. I can't, but he can!

If you think i'm stupid, then I can just blame 3lo because I found the link in his website! (6)

I have so much work to do and so I can't do anything.

Brainstorms

Before you read this, please do this.

Think.

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.

What's the first thing that comes to your mind?

Please comment and say it.

We were in a meeting yesterday and to organize the brain storming session and because everyone was so dead and tired, I decided to just write everything that first pops in everyone's mind when I say a world.

I said: "UAE, what's the first that comes to your mind!'

First answer I got was "desert and a white land cruiser'

Few other students agreed that that is true, they think of similar things.

Here are some of the answers I got for different Emirates:

Abu Dhabi:
Etisalat tower
Streets and buildings
Some poetic things about how the people are nice, etc.

Dubai:
The name of a certain hot guy – I told the girl that that is not going to help in our project.
Burj alarab – I thoughts that is old!
Shopping and malls – duh!
Construction – Thank you, but we need positive!
Skiing
Hotels
Madinat Jumeirah – I need a holiday.

Notice that none of the girls there were from Dubai and so no one said Traffic, or maybe it's because I was screaming "POSITIVE"

Sharjah:
Museums
Cultural
Heritage
Bad traffic.

Ajman:
The winner answer was: Bad smell, very smelly indeed.
Beach. – Abu Dhabi beach, Ajman's branch

Ras Al-Khaimah:
Space station!

No one thought of mountains?

Fujairah:
Oldest Masjid in UAE.
They have a tunnel that goes in a mountain.

Umm al-Qaiwain:
They have a big roundabout where kids play football!

After few minutes, we stopped this because it was not helping much. The meeting was a success though because we got what we want.

HOT!

There is a serious problem with the AC in a building in the university where I have THREE classes today! So all day, I have been hopping from one hot class to another! I'm exhausted!

To anyone who is in charge of this AC problem,

Please solve the
problem before you sweat and burn in hell for making us go through
this.

Thank you, I appreciate all the time you spent thinking about
'inferior' students and trying to solve their problems.

I would
just like to note that the university is here for STUDENTS to STUDY, not for
you
to rot in an office in the fourth floor.

Yes, I know where your
offices are.

And I'm writing this during class so if you have a
problem with that, just go knock your head on the wall behind you.
Whenever I look up and see the sweating teacher, I feel bad for him and
then I feel worse for me because HE IS NOT WEARING ONE HUNDRED AND ONE
LAYERS OF
CLOTHING.

Just a student from this #$%^ing university,

MJ

What's your favourite ice cream flavour? I wouldn't mind any now.
