Yesterday was such a long and painful day to all of us. My dad had to do a surgery on his elbow to fix a compacted nerve, as the doctor said, and decompresses it so the blood will run smoothly. I didn't want to get out of the hospital even though I really hated being there for some reason. But anyway, I stayed all day long with my family there. The surgery went fine, thanks to God first and for most, and for the kind doctor who kept assuring us that it will be alright and that it's a normal surgery… After the operation, dad was sleeping because of the drug they gave him before. He had difficulty breathing when he woke up... I felt so heavy inside. I felt like we'll loose him... but he managed to breathe normally again. *al7mdllah.
My father is a smoker too. That's why he had trouble breathing, according to the nurse. I just wish I could persuade him to stop but I really don't know how.
Besides, I was very ill too... It was so stressful. I would keep coughing and throwing up every once in a while for no reason. Maybe it's because I'm not used to seeing my dad like this. Or maybe because I'm not used to being in hospitals... I don't know. Mom told me to go home and get some rest because I really needed it too. So, I got back home at
He's finally home again… Safe and sound.
Can't imagine how my life would be without him…
I love you dad...

Tagging: Najah, Nabhan. The rest of the list are already tagged. Anyway I hope they don't fail me and answer the above questions =)

Hey!
I just wonder why everyone blog him/herself. I know its kind of a personal question that maybe I shouldn't ask, but it would really be wonderful and appreciated if everyone can share with me his/her reasons.
For me, I started blogging because I was so desperate to talk to anyone. There really was no one beside me to listen. I visited a couple of healthy websites that would give tips about how to overcome depression and sorrow.... and they said it's really healthy and good to write everything you feel down. [Ya I was that desperate! :'( ] They recommended blogging as a way to start and I followed up. Next thing I know is that I'm in the blogger community. I'm still blogging because i'm not over this circle of sorrow, yet. But I'm really starting to believe that it helps to write.
Beside that, I think the positive side about blogging is that it gets you to know other people too. How they feel, and how they interpret their lives on their own words. This is very very interesting on its own.
Okay enough about me, how about you guys? Care to share?
Cast your votes please! Thanks in advance ^.^

I'm finally done with the template!
I hope you like it people! ^.^
I had a lot of free time the past few days so I decided to play with my template code a bit. I wanted something simple, which is what all this is about.
Got a new shoutbox ! Feel free to shout all you want there. And my neocounter is back as well. (it sux though cause it's not free :0)
And finally, I added a couple more of my favorite blogger links. I still have a lot to add though, but am seriously tired. I'll do it some other time inshalla.
Have fun!
Hi all,
Something just stroke me today when I was playing the game Generals Command & Conquer: Zero Hour. You might find this somewhat childish, but I really learned a life lesson from it. It's a bit intricate for me to clarify. So read over only if you're interested =)
In this game, there is a
Alright so what's the moral of that?

1. Consider the
2. The defense of the enemy (be it tanks, missile launchers, king Raptors or whatever) is the struggles we face on our daily living.
As a rule, every one of us has at least one aim in his/her life to long for. We set this target and we fight as hard as we can to attain it. We study, we work… etc... And this is to make sure that we reach the target. But on our way there, we frequently face many struggles, and some of us unluckily fall! I fell many times as well and I admit that. But here is the thing; I am going to be an '
In short, we just have to believe we're like an

Nabhan got me tagged to answer the following questions:
1. How much money is in your wallet right now?
2.How much money would you need in the bank to feel secure? Rich?
3.If someone gave you 100 rials, no strings attached, what would you do with it?
4.If someone gave you 1 Million rials, no strings attached, what would you do with it?
5.How much does something have to cost before it starts counting as "real" money, as a purchase to be considered and evaluated, but below which you'll buy without really thinking about it?
....
There you go pal:
1. That would be 468 QR exact.
2. Money that would ensure me a living for one year would someway make me feel a bit safe. And for the second component of the question, I'd say it's not with how much funds I have that would make me feels rich.
3. I'll turn it back asking that person to please grant it to someone who needs it more than I do.
4. It would depend on who's going to offer me all that money.
5. I two say that it depends on the thing I'm buying. I don't squander my money on things that are over-priced yet not worthwhile. If I really have to pick a number though, I'd say 50QR.
.....
Anyway, as we're on the subject of money, I'd like to formally declare that I hate it so much. Money is all what most people think about receiving in this life. I find this a pretty lame and retarded goal. I see eye to eye with the one who said that money can't buy happiness; for the reason that... I experienced it myself. If you're unhappy from within, riches won't do you anything much to help!
The next reason for me to hate it is because people are treating each other differently because of it. You'll see assorted categories in our society that are considered distinct from each other mainly because of how much wealth they have. The rich is always esteemed, while no one gives a crap about the poor. Excuse me for the expression but why is this happening? We are all humans, sons and daughters of Adam & Eve. Brothers and sisters. Why categorizing? Why some people are VIP and some are not? Can't we all be just treated equally? Or is this just so far from reality?
Third reason is greed. People get really greedy sometimes that they'd kill other people to take their money from them. This is actually happening in our society! It's not something I watched on TV. In addition, think about the current wars from a universal broad. The main reason I believe for all of these wars is the greed flaming out from country leaders.
Nothing more, nothing less;
Just money, wealth, and great amount of funds in their accounts.
That's all they want!
For God's sake money is just a stupid paper!
Why fighting for it? Life demands?
Hack with them if they're going to make humans monsters.
Some people also think that money equals success. This is so not true. To be successful in life doesn't mean having great chunk of money; rather, I believe achieving your goals is what makes you be one. However, If the goal is just to make money, then I'm sorry to say that you are really not living your life very well. Some might argue that they have to make money first to achieve their goals, Yes, I agree. But my point here is that 'making money' shouldn't be your main objective in this life.
With all that said, I think I made myself care enough.
LoL, okay sorry to be a bit serious about this subject.
Everyone smile please.
Life isn't worth it,
money isn't worth it,
and surely my post isn't worth your being sad/upset.
Cheers,
Enigma
It's been sometime I haven't opened my Cinema4d.
The good news is, today I did! Haven't made any serious modelling though. Just an abstract which strangely, I have somehow related myself to it in the end. It's basically a simple piece. Called it Vibrant.Sense. Each color I used here symbolize something to me, but.. well, I won't bore you with such details. :P
I leave you to view it (click to enlarge);
Enjoy! Your opinions are always appreciated peeps. So please be generous and give me your feedback. Thanks in advance. =)

He went and never came back...
THAT, ladies and gentlemen, was a part of a talk I had with someone while playing Yahoo Chess. As you may note, the guy seems to have gotten into the pattern where he has to type "say" before saying something and "look" before he can see. Next thing he'll inarticulate "emote" every time he takes breath. Emote inhale, Emote exhale!
I'm starting to get uninterested of the Net. The question is, where do I go now? Where's the next wave? The thing is, I don't think I can push this thing much further. There's nothing else to do; just much, much, much more of what I've already done. Anywhere I go now is a second trip.
It's weird. The Net used to seem so big. No limits. Everlasting variety. It doesn't seem that gigantic to me now. I log in and think, where to? Back to Forums? Back to blogging? Back to chatting? Messenger? Anyone? ... etc.
Been there, done that. It's not adequate anymore. It's overwhelming. It's boring. I can feel it topping out. And it's sad, because I love the Net! I loved being able to drift away into chatting rooms and talk to people from different regions. I loved the spirit of it, and how much people value liberty on the net. I loved the speed, the lightness.
Or maybe, that's the part I hate. I can switch this whole world off from my life. I can walk away from it and come back the next night, or the night after that, or a week or a month or a year later and find pretty much the same thing. I don't know how content I am in this casual space anymore.
No consequences.
There is something sparkling and brilliant about the Net. There is also something lonesome and horrible about it. I don't regret stumbling in, but thank God I can opt out.
The sun will be up in a little less than one hour or so, which is:
a) a few more thousand posts yet to read from my fellow bloggers.
b) two dozen Forums.
c) a couple of mp3 websites to check, or
d) doing the alfajer prayer.
At this point, "d" seems like the most thrilling option...

Doha: Residents and visitors to Qatar can now access high-speed wireless Internet at selected locations free of cost following the soft opening of Qatar Telecom's Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) service branded Qtel Hotspot. The free access offer is valid for a limited period only after which Qtel Hotspot will be commercially launched.
Khalil Ebrahim Al Emadi, Executive Director, Wireline Services at the company, said: "Qte's broadband strategy is to make our customers a part of the growing global WiFi community and give them the best of what we have to offer in Internet services whether at home or at work. Our WiFi service provides freedom, flexibility, reliability and great value for our customers and by offering them this dynamic service free for a limited period, we are giving them an opportunity to sample one of the many exciting products and services we will be launching very soon."
The service, in its introductory phase, is available at all major hotels in Doha, select restaurants and coffee shops. Among the places where people may experience WiFi Internet access free are the InterContinental Doha, Al Merweb Hotel, both the branches of the Eli France Café at Salwa Road and the City Center, La Maison Du Café on Salwa Road and Royal Plaza, Le Notre, Grand Café, Crepaway and Mint Café.
Customers should look for a special logo or notice announcing that free WiFi access is available at the outlets and request for a user name and password from the hotspot location personnel.
"WiFi is fast gaining popularity, especially with everyday Internet users and people from the business and student communities who frequent restaurants, hotel lobbies and coffee shops. By setting up hotspots at these locations, we are also offering businesses a chance to provide advanced service and to attract more customers," he added.
Thank you Q-tel!! *a sentence I never thought I'd say.*

Terrified to wake up not knowing who I may face today,
So afraid to run off the room… so there on my bed I lay.
Scared to open up my eyes in terror of who I may see,
there’s only one being I trust now, that one being is me.
.......
I toddled down the stairway of my vacant dark home,
Everyday became the same, and I’m all alone.
I can’t gaze at the outer surface, I can’t anymore see,
I just don't know what the hell is wrong with me.
.......
I sit out of the sun, wondering what’s going on,
with all sensations… I feel vanished or gone.
My mind's eye wish to know what lives outside;
it’s so undue for everything I hold, to hide.
Though I can’t stand the wounds people cause,
And I can’t stand all this pain
though I'm sick of everyone being fake,
Sick of the amount of hurt I still have left to take
I won't let this happen to me again.
.......
Today I will stand up and wipe away the tears
Today I will rub out all the hurt and fears
Today is another new page
Waiting to be filled with fury and rage
.......
Fight is the only word that charms in my head
So I'll fight even though by now...
I'm dead.
To answer the following:
1. What does 'love' mean to you?
At this moment, it means a knife caught in my heart that no matter what I do I can't drag out.
But on a broad note...
love is what completes me. That's all I'd say.
2. What does "marriage" mean to you?
It's a life-time commitment. It's a dream that will come to reality, one day… inshallah.
3. Do you believe in 'love at first sight'?
I wouldn't call it love. It's a physical attraction. You can't love someone just by a fleeting look. It's mostly incorrect to suppose so… because love doesn't come out of sudden. Love is a combination of feelings attached together which grow through time. Hmm, just ask yourself, what approach would one have at first sight?
Exactly! Attraction; no more no less.
4. How many children would you like?
As much as God would bless me to have.
5. If given the opportunity, what is that one song you would sing for me on wedding day?
What dreams are made of...
6. What is your favorite holiday destination?
Undecided.
7. What are three qualities you would look for in a woman?
After 'Religious' come Simple, Patient, and Compassionate. Beauty is the last thing I look for.
8. What are the three qualities and three bad habits that you have?
Qualities: you tell me what they are...
Bad habits:
- I don't get out from my cave frequently
- I shy
- I have major problems with sleeping
9. Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?
I don't know where the course of my future leads. For every day there is something new that will either shove me up a bit or put me down a byte... Honestly I can't see myself in tomorrow, how do you expect me to tell what's after 10 years...
Only God knows...
Alright everyone after my worm greetings to all,,
I'm very upset.
I checked mp3search.ru today to find some songs and I got shocked! I mean, how in God's name do people steal the originality of my favorite band, and no one says anything?!!! There is nothing called "Erotic Dreams" album for Enigma! o_O Somebody is faking and people are downloading because they think it's for the original band.
The album doesn't even come close to the quality of the original band; I felt suspecious once I heard it. It really shouldnt be under Enigma's name because they're not the ones who made it. The website refers to the album as bootleg. But you know what, I don't care! I mean look at the title! It doesn't fit with Enigma's reputation at ALL! ahh..
If anyone saw this album and wanted to buy it, don't don't don't!! We need to stop these people from stealing other's copyrighted materials. If you pay, you're encouraging this phenomenon to appear.. please don't! I mean okey, I was dump to buy it, but hey I didn't know.. but now that you read this post... You have no excuse...
DOOOON'T BUY IT!
lol. Aye this is the cover of the so stupid album:
I just wonder if there are any rules about using the name of other artists. I mean there must be some kind of restrictions about that right?
Anwayz,,
It's exactly 5:30am now.. It's been a long time I haven't slept well. My daily schedule is so messed up...
Sigh.. goodbye.
*lol that rhymes*
I'm not talking about where I belong in 'real' life… I'm talking about the 'online' one.
On my online occurrence, I've been into many forums, discussion websites, and many others to reckon. I had fun on some, while I learnt some perspectives of life on others. But there was this one forum that I really felt I belong to; to the extent that I treasured it as my second family.
Every single member in that forum meant something to me - I'm not kidding! Some of them were more than just online friends. They were like brothers and sisters. I felt that every one cared for each other. Every one was very polite... Every one was just being him/herself... and so I couldn't help but like the quality at hand. And indeed, it was such a great experience.
Sadly though, it's temporarily closed... for 3 or maybe 4 months now.
I really miss it. I miss all the people I knew there. I even had a phase for a time where it was inflexible to live the day without hearing about them. Right now I don't go to other forums; often for the reason that it reminds me of the one I used to be in...
Is this some sort of addiction? Maybe, but if it is, then I'm convinced it's the right kind of it. I just supplicate that the admin of the forum hear my voice somehow and kindly consider bringing it back... Even though I am not sure will I see my fellows there again, at least I will be seated here with hopes to read anything about them.
I pray they're alright and living a happy life...
A question to all the people who post in forums, what would you do if you knew one day that the forum you daily visit is shut down?
I leave you to comment... :(
I was asked by one of my precious bloggers, Blessed, to answer these questions:
- Number of books I own.
- Last book I read.
- Five books that mean a lot to me.
- And finally, the book I am reading since long but could not finish.
====================
- But before I start answering the questions, I'd just like to point out that it's been like two or three months and I haven't really read novels/books in general (excluding my university textbooks.)
++ Number of books I own ++
I don't know. Honest. And I don't actually own the books. We have a small library or so in our house and my brothers and I can come and read or use them. So, accurately speaking, I don't "own" a lot – a rough calculation would be 30-40 only, coz those are the ones I bought.
++ Last book I read ++
Dave Pelzer - A Child Called 'It'. The book is so, so, so moving!! I really mean that. Very creative, very unique. The story was brilliantly developed; wide in details yet, not going over board in telling unnecessary things of the over all story. The emotions as well were amazingly carried out in words. I felt like living inside the characters. It was just astonishing to the extent that I had trouble setting the book down to do other things. As I remember, it was talking about this child who suffered a lot from his evil mother. She used to torture him and rooted all the fear you could imagine in his heart! I won't spoil the story of the book to those who haven't read it yet. But I for one really enjoyed it. The next book I'll read (inshallah) is "The Lost Boy," which is the second part of the trilogy of the book I mentioned.
++ Five books that mean a lot to me ++
Believe it or not, it's so tough for me to answer this. All the books I read so far had something meaningful to offer. So in essence, there are no five special books to me because I value all of them. Yet, on another note, the books that touched me a lot are those with an ending that would blow me off my feet -- if you know what I mean. :P I like the unexpected drama. For example, when I was 16 (or maybe younger,) I longed for a book called What the Birds See for Sonya Hartnett. The story ended and next thing I know was tears in my eyes! *lol. I remember feeling sorry for the characters! Sounds crazy, doesn't it? I read it at least 10 times, if not more. Another book I liked so much was The Ugly Princess and the Wise Fool for Margaret Gray. You just can't expect how much you'll giggle when you read it! The comments in the story are so stupid yet really humorous. So you see, each book has something special that would pull you to read again. :)
++ And finally, the book I am reading since long but could not finish ++
Lee A. Jacobus - A World of Ideas, sixth edition. The writings and letters included in this book are very articulate, inspiring, and mostly very wise; especially after knowing that they are written from the most legendary people in the world! However, it's a little dark and mysterious. I find it interesting to read, but I'm not sure if other people of my age would want to dig for the deep meanings of this book as I did. Yet, I think it's a must read, especially for those who like critical readings.
--I'm Tagging: Echo and Esoz. Hope they answer the same questions. :)
First, I apologize for not updating frequently. There is so much I would like to talk about actually. But since I haven't updated my blog for a while, I thought I'd just post some of the events that happened last week so here it goes… Hope you enjoy reading this for now:
Tuesday 21, 2005: Well,, I couldn't find my Islamic class that I'm taking this summer. The class started a week before this day and I still couldn't find it. I asked, asked, and asked…I went to the administration office… and after maybe 2 hours wasted from my life trying to find this out of sight class, after I got a real pain in my legs from walking, I finally found it :D It was such a relief! I could finally attend, but I didn't. I went back home as I was awfully tired and already had enough. Just chilled and enjoyed my time with family…Rewarding myself for the accomplishment of finding where the class is.
Wednesday 22, 2005: Nothing so special about this day except the fact that I, at last, got my account back in Mp3 Search .They closed it for two months, or maybe even more; banned me from using the service though I have credit in their website. I don't blame them. I was such a pain because I hotlink to their mp3s a LOT! But I learned the lesson well now. I won't share the links I buy again. I'll download and then share. This way, everyone will be happy! :P But overall, it's a very excellent website. I found all the Mp3s I wanted there, be it movie or game soundtracks, or just music. The Mp3s are low-priced, clean and with remarkable quality.
Thursday 23, 2005: The terrible thing happened this day. I broke my Oud! The one I kept for so long… It's broken. It accidentally fell down while I was tidying my room. Yet, strangely, I don't want to fix it.
It's been along time I haven't played it so guess I'll just throw it away.
Hmm, yeah… My oldest brother started searching for a new house to live in and settle this day. Though I wind him up sometimes, I don't set with him often, and I don't actually like him :P… I still felt sad. I don't want him to leave. I don't like the fact that we will split up one day and everyone will have a house on their own. But what can I say… that's life. He said that once he finds a good accommodation, he'll be off.
Friday 24, 2005: Ahhh.. You know when you're so fed up to death yet you just want to achieve anything but don't know what… Well, that kind of feeling overwhelmed me this day. Everything was messed up. I called my old friends and no one replied. Some of them had their mobile off while others just didn't feel like replying. But I understand. Not calling them for along time and being so busy to just pick up the phone and say hi is just not so forgivable. Deep inside, I wish they'd consider… Anyway, some good things that happened: I finished Warda's blog template (mostly) on this day…really had fun and learned some new techniques while doing it. Plus, I had some quality time playing my favorite online game; Generals: Zero Hour with my family. We have a LAN network in our home and this game is what makes us all meet online. :D
Saturday 25, 2005: A7m A7m.. Got a nice hair cut in the night of this day. :D It's good to know I still have it! Here's a picture (with a forced smile) …
~~ Edited: Picture removed ~~
LoL Aye, enough laughing at me kids. Can we be grown ups now? :P So, anyway. After I made my hair, I had dinner.. you won't believe what I saw. A club sandwich that looks like … Or you know, I'll let you see and tell me what it looks like:
LOL! :P
Sunday 26, 2005: So much happened this day. I don't know from where to start… and I won't tell what events exactly took place. Let's just say that my heart saw the light again. :) I'm sure those who know me well are familiar with the reason why I'm saying this.
Monday 27, 2005: Just two things I want to mention. By coincidence, I saw on this day my dearest friend, Mantis, while I was on the university. I didn't see him for one whole week and it actually felt like missing something important from life. It was really pleasing to see him again. We sat together and talked for hours, had launch, and got back some old memories while drinking tea. For some reason, I value the moments I spend with this guy. Very wise, very funny, and very respectful.. Anyhow, the other thing I thought of mentioning, my brother who studies in Canada… He traveled today to continue studying there. I hate goodbyes I really do. I just hope he reaches safely.
Quote of this week: "Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and it'll be opened to you."
Yesterday I was working on Catty, the first painting I'm publishing online.. Now since the summer started, I was trying to learn this really amazing software called Corel Painter IX. It did actually take me a lot of time to know my way around and what I want to do with it.
I still have many things to learn, so this is just the beginning.
Anyway, here's what I ended up with yesterday (click for full view) :

Hope you all like it.
Looking around, trying to study and analyze the society, I eventually come to realize many facts. One of them is that a lot of people, especially the young, unfortunately waste their time on things that has no benefit but entertainment. It's actually strange how young people live nowadays. They judge each other on the clothes they wear, the kind of car they drive, and at which restaurant they eat! If you're a hard worker, they'll think you are poor because you're working hard to make money! You might also find some who will judge you even by the scope of how you are entertained during the day (i.e. if you don't own a play station, you won't make a good friend.)
The question is what has gone wrong??!
The way I see it, most of this happened because we come from a society that likes to have everything set and ready. We don't create the things we need, we BUY them… Just as simple as that. And with this pure fact, we became used instead of being the users.
A trick maybe most people are unaware of is that, business has its own system of getting around oppressive issues like selling things that harm people -- mind or soul. They do this by promoting the truth out of things. They can in fact persuade you that smoking is not harmful and that it makes you a tough guy or a cool gal. Even though human rights organizations persist on warnings on packets of cigarettes, it still remains a phenomenon that people buy and smoke them. In the end, many get sick and die.
Not only this, other harms can be found as well. Take for instance consoles and computer games. They are really time-consuming; yet, our young people tend to not pay attention to this fact. Why? I still don't know. But I assume it's because they can't resist the lure and enjoyment coming out of it. DVDs and movies.. Music CDs and Songs.. All these are 'killing' our generation slowly, overwhelming their time, teaching them things out of our culture and humanity, and most importantly, tricking them that they are the right things to have; so, in due course, young people buy them. Truth is, maybe all of us, including me, are actually tricked. I know some of you would say, "No I'm not: I'm in control and nobody uses me".. But please think it through again. What happens is that we're actually being controlled at some point. We're paying to be controlled, and we like it! Whether we admit it is not the question..
I just wonder… how do we actually spend our time? I just wonder what we have done in life, in addition to entertaining ourselves, that made the world a better place. I just wonder why people pay and allow themselves to be desensitized to the point that they will actually sit down at a computer learning, while playing, how to steal, murder, be a sniper or a hit man and say they are having fun?! Then they might sit and watch the news on TV and start complaining about the increase of the crime rate providing that it is no longer safe to go out at night.
While young people are being captive and addicted to hundreds of things, while they lose their common sense of reality, lose their uniqueness as members of the human race... And while the money makers who grow fat on the earnings of the films and computer games industry, lie around pools in splendid deluxe mansions paid by our money, our humanity, our life.. I just wonder.. What are we going to do about it?
Do nothing? Allow ourselves to be used and abused? Make the rich guy richer while he sips on his martini and eats at his caviar while some of us are addicted to his game or in prison for the crime he enacted on that film? Or maybe become a zombie and addict ourselves to being entertained to death?
..OR..
Avoid the things that are dangerous and show some responsibility? Get a life and learn to do/say things to make the world a better place for you & all the people to live in? Start a war against the 'users' of the world and encourage young people to think about their lives again and where they are heading?
The choice is yours..

Just something I want to share with all.
I read from a forward that lately, a Japanese company has produced a machine(see the pic) that allows us to get the smell of many perfumes you can find online. It has certain types of liquids inside that when mixed together in a specific ratio, it gives the exact smell of the perfume that you want to try before you buy!
It's really amazing how technology can reach. Honestly, I won't be surprised if I saw a website one day that would allow us to download perfumes :P It'd be really cool. Plus, we may need to look for cracks and patches as well to get the full perfumes for free~ haha okey just kidding :P :P
Hey again people,
Before I started this blog, I put pen to paper where I want to aim it to. Honestly, I have more than a few objectives that, with any luck, I would like to achieve here. Namely:
1) Religion is a source of enlightenment. Thus, I promise to attach some Islamic point of views on every occasion I see convenient/needed. Hopefully, that will help out some who don't know a lot about our beliefs.
2) I'm dreadfully interested in philosophy. With that in mind, be informed that many of the posts you'll see in the future will deal with my being so theoretical on certain aspects and events.
3) Out-of-sight 'talents' & 'obsessions' will be revealed here in the future inshallah...
4) There will be some personal posts about me every once in a while. Through them, mind will speak at times; heart will speak at others... (And sometimes both.) That's why I'm referring to this blog as Sentiments & Resolutions.
5) An approach to my country and the people existing in it shall be considered as well. Come on that's not dull! In this area, I'll try to discuss some major points that we , as Qataries, are mostly worried about... Sometimes one feels like shouting out loud to have his say heard. So, that'll be my place. (I'll be shouting & typing @ the same time. 
*a7m...
Alright, so this is basically my on-the-way circle. I hope you'll find it enjoyable and valuable to read... Occasionally, other stuff might jump off as well. You never know. =)
Anyhow, time for take off.
Nice day everyone,

I'm Free at last!! It's a strange feeling how I've been waiting for this holiday so much.. and now that it comes, I really crave to carry out many plans; I don't really know where to begin… but off the top of my head... my main concern now is to spend extra time with my family; especially with my young sisters whom I haven't been around with for a long time. I truly miss them so much...
My nephew's birthday is today! He completed his first year and he's becoming really cutttie! We're going to through for him a little party.. And I so want to get a picture of him eating the cake haha =D
Anyhow, despite the fact that I'm still not through with the template of this up-to-the-minute blog, I determined to put it on the same day as promised on my prior one. Therefore, you might see several changes every once in a while. I hope you like how it looks now. If not, please drop a comment advising me on what to add or what you would like to see here so I can improve it =P
Well, that's all for now I guess… Feel at home, fasten your seatbelts, and get yourself in stand-by status to dive within the thoughts of my humble blog. I'll update in my second post the pointers I will discuss in Sentiments & Resolutions.
++ Time ran so fast. I still can't believe I'm done with exams. ++
Take care ya'll and hope 2 see you soon.
It's great to be back!
