5 Things You Dont Know About Me

I’ve been tagged by and life goes on… I know it’s a bit late (actually no TOO late) but I’ve been so busy at work that I didn’t have time to even think of those 5 things…
Anyways.. here were go…

1) I love taking pictures of myself.. I just have to take my camera with me anywhere I go… I jump to any group of people taking a picture to include me with them… and btw… im photogenic too :)

2) Im a very lazy person… when im sitting in the sitting room and want to tell my sister (who’s in the bedroom) something… I’d rather call her on the cellphone than getting up and moving to where she is!

3) I love singing… though all the people around me say my voice is ugly!! But I just love to sing.. I remember once I was singing at a karaoke night… and the DJ (il7akeer) just turned off the mic… seems my voice was really bad!!!

4) Im a messy person.. if I didn’t share my bedroom with my sister… I would have been choosing my clothes from the chair in the corner of my room rather than from the closet!!

5) I rarely cry in front of people… and if I did… this means im really hurt… so be cautious people ;)

Old Songs

Each old song I listen to reminds me of something… either a person or an event… my mind just links it to the past… filled with a specific picture… that either makes me smile or depressed… but most of the time depressed… not because the event is depressing… but because I miss the days it reminds me of…

Goodbye My lover - James Blunt… reminds me of so many things… my favorite to listen to whenever im depressed

Mayyal – Amr Diab… Karioke Night at champions with damdoom and amroush!!

I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing – Aerosmith… Grade 10 IGCSE finals!

Sahran – Hani Omari… Dandoon (my sis)… On the way to Nablus!

Angels – Robbie Williams… Writing the TOK essay for the IB finals

Aghla El Nas – Amr Diab… Egypt at the end of 2005 (The CD was newly issued)

Here Without You – 3 Doors Down… each morning in the car on my way to work!

Hobbaj Waja3 – Elissa… My favorite.. Reminds me of EFB with malak!!!

Being an Auditor

Those two weeks have been so hectic… work and work and work… nothing more actually...
Since I'm an auditor… our work season starts now… we have to audit 2006’s financial statements for banks, telecommunication companies, insurance companies… etc…
Well actually I'm not annoyed about working under so much pressure… I have no problem with leaving each day (including weekends) at 9 pm and having no social life (since this is temporary!) but what I have a problem with… is that after all what u do… u don’t get enough appreciation… I work so hard… I put so much effort… I try my best in all areas and aspects… and when I ask my supervisor to revise my work… he’ll just say: tayeb… why do u make such a big deal out of it…
Ok fine… no problem with me.. I will not make any big deal out of it… but when the manager calls me later on… and wants me to close some review notes… when I'm already assigned to another job…what am I supposed to do?? from where am I supposed to get time… I don’t know do they think we are robots or what!!!
And what makes it even worse… is when u get welcomed by a client by saying: “m3 i7tirami il shaded ilik… bas hay awal marra btiji modagiga tdageg 3alay”… SO???
But actually sometimes being an auditor gives you a high self esteem in front of others… I remember once telling a person that I'm an auditor… his reaction was: “3ala rasi min fog sitti”… hehe I just felt like telling him: “ahk law te3raf il 7a2ee2a il morra” ;)

Cover Charge!!!

I just need to go out someplace and have a coffee with my friend… is it some big deal?? I don’t feel it is… why is it that most of the places in amman (I mean cafes not restaurants) require a min. or cover charge of minimum 10 JDs… tb what if I don’t want to eat??? Do they have to force me to??
And by the way… 10 JDs do have a value for me, in case they don’t for others...

Driving in Jordan

Whenever I drive in Amman and the driver next to me do something stupid (such as changing the lane without even thinking of using his mirrors!!)... ill either say ma3leh ma he’s a taxi driver… or ma3leh mahoeh shab majnoon… or ma3leh ma she’s a woman (no offense ladies)…

Tab what’s left??? Why not to say ma3leh ma he/she is in Jordan!!!

Driving in Jordan really gets on my nerves!!!!!

Birthday Surprise


Today was my birthday… I was supposed to go out with my friends for dinner… it was all planned a week ago… and then… at around 7:00 pm… all of a sudden… while I was getting dressed (and still had some oil treatment on my hair!!!) around 20 of my friends just bumped into my room shouting: SURRIPSE!!!!

I still couldn’t understand what was going on… I was in a complete shock… having so many people surrounding me... I actually freaked out… it was so wierd... and then slowly I started realizing that it was my birthday surprise… however, I still thought that we’r going out for dinner outside… and that they just came home to surprise me… when it turned out that my family prepared all the food and stuff (that I thought they prepared for a family visit) for me and my friends and not for anybody else…

The feeling was wonderful… I just cant describe it…. All what I can say is that though turning 23 is a bit depressing since you feel yourself growing older and older… but getting phone calls and msgs from all the people you love… being surrounded with all the people you care about and knowing that they love you more in return just cheers you up and makes you appreciate everything you have in this life…

The biggest thank you is to my family… my dearest sister… who was the one who planned and organized the surprise… my lovely mom… who spent all yesterday and today preparing the delicious food…. And to the rest… who knew how to cheer me up in such a day.

Thanks again to anyone who helped in this wonderful surprise… Now have a look at some of the presents I got…

















"Never shall I forget the days I spent with you. Continue to be my friend, as you will always find me yours"
