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"

Bad Day at Work

Yesterday was one of the worst days at work… I was put in a really bad situation…
Well, my manager gave me and my colleague a paper to work on… I remember finishing my work and leaving the paper on the desk… then the paper disappeared!!! The manager got mad and said he needs the paper now!!! i started looking and looking… until later on I found out that my colleague threw it in the shredding machine, and he simply went to the manager and said WE didn’t find it…
Why to put me in such an embarrassing situation when he knew it wont affect only him but me also??? If I were in his place, I would have told the manager that I threw it in order to prevent any misunderstandings with my colleagues…
I didn’t know what to do… should I go to the manager and tell him the truth (to pull myself out from this)… or just ignore it and help my colleague…
Well… at the end I decided that I didn’t want to hurt my colleague… though this hurt me personally… I don’t know was what I did something foolish??? Maybe… but its just that my deep inner self couldn’t do it!!!!!

FINALLY!!!

Finally… my life is useful now.. Im doing something I love… Im doing something Ive always wanted to do… I finally started setting up high goals for myself… my future plans are becoming clearer and clearer, where I can see my self in 5 years ahead….
I registered for a CMA course… which will qualify me to become a Certified Management Accountant… hopefully within a year!!!
At least now I will not have this feeling that my life is empty.. or boring… even when Im sitting home having no plans and nothing specific to do…. I wont feel depressed, lonely or bored… cause im doing something useful that will stick to me all my life…
Im on a crossroad now... where my steps and actions will affect me and possibly determine my future… I want to prove myself… Move ahead… skip all the challenges and barriers that might face me…. And become a successful independant woman….
I have put my plan in perspective... hope I’ll be able to fulfill it…. All of this will happen with my insistence… and with the help of God of course…

May God help me make my dreams come true
