LCD.. emmm... or should i wish for anthrax..? or emm... a new pair of chanel sling backs?... well i dunno can i just say the gift was EVERYTHING? am not greedy right?

2. Close your eyes, now open them. You are someone else. Who do you want it to be?

3. You are sitting in a coffee shop in the Champs-Elysées. There are five chairs around the table, you sit on one, who sits on the other four?

Today I went out for dinner with a dear friend of mine "u know urself ya: i dont have a wedge ana a7tj! ;p "

so the waiter starts askin us abt our drinks.. since i dont drink soda and fizzy drinks.. i asked abt juices and cocktails..so he said "We have shirley temple".. I weeent craazy when i heard it! cuz i never thought that any restaurant had them here in Q8!! so i asked the waiter for non-fizzy shirley temple.. he gave me a shocked look! my friend was sweet enuff to ask for a normal shirley temple ;p bs me NO! gotta have my drinks "super custom made" just like every other thing in my life ;p "Almost".. so for like 5 mins and 1 or 2 tears from the waiter.. he understood wut i wanted and got me a non-fizzy shirley temple.. DONE? NO! am jiji! am never done! so i ask for some lemon wedges to highlight my cocktail ;p ... my glass didnt have any garnishing with sugar or lemon slice! unlike my friends`! so i ask for the extra lemon wedges! when they got me the wedges.. my friend got envious and was like "i have no wedge, ana a7tj!" LOL! i really liked that sentence.. to tell ya the truth.. this is the main reason why am writing this POST ;p

Excuse Me, You Have Paint On Your Jeans

2006-06-12T15:35:00.000+03:00

yesterday morning i walked into the office.. and on the stairs there was this man who was related to the candidate.. we said hello and everythin.. then he told me.. "why jiji! u have paint on ur jeans".. and i thought "huh?!" then i looked at my jeans and remembered that they were the ones with bleached spots and stuff.. i laughed so hard then told the poor man thats its the way it is.. modelah chethy 3amey.. i bought it like this! he looked at me ow ma9doom 7adda! then he laughed ;p

the reason why he thought i had paint on my jeans was cuz the house and the office were packed with painters and workers.. so he thought i might have fell or sumthinh spilled on me ;p

my jeans

Jiji The Key

2006-06-09T03:26:00.000+03:00

i love to get involved.. makes me feel good about myself.. its work.. and i love to work..

i used to take part in skool elections as well as university and college elections..

but the parliment elections is the MAJOR gig.. and it a cool experience might i add..

ive been assigned to work as muta3aheda.. like i elect names from the districts families list and see if they would vote for the guy am workin for...

i checked them out.. i loved the competition atmosphere.. met a couple of old friends from skool.. ppl i knew since i was 4 maybe! it was really nice to catch up walla ;).. i was mostly happy cuz they referred to me as the smartest girl in skool back in the days..

we`ll see wut happens tomorrow

2006-06-07T17:26:00.000+03:00

I'm back!

2006-06-04T13:09:00.000+03:00

I guess its time for my comeback :p....

The truth is I really don't have something interesting or exciting to write about like I should, considering the months I kept away from writing any posts...but I'm going to write anyways ;)

Now that I'm almost a graduate (the grades haven't come out yet) I have plenty of time to do the stuff I didn't have time to do earlier. Of course there are too many things I want to do which would make me tired just thinking of them....so I decided to do nothing for a while :P.....................this is boring

Let me just list some of my plans for the summer and I hopefully will succeed to do most of the things on this list:

1. clean up the pile of papers (and many other miscelanious stuff) on my desk

2. try to clean up my cupboards

3. Go get my "ta7leel' from the mustashfa and hope they didn't throw it away cuz they've had it for almost 2 months now

4. paint a painting :)

5. cook or make desserts (i'm not an expert..but I will look for easy/tasty stuff to make)

6. graduate!

7. check out he candidates views for majlis alomma ..then vote

8. buy a black handbag

9. have a facial

10. write a better post

How Did I End Up On TV!!

2006-06-03T12:58:00.000+03:00

I woke up this morning thinking how can i make this satuarday morning a useful one.. i remembered having some things that needed me to attend and finish them.. and mom called me and reminded me that i should go check my name in the mayor`s office "3ishtaw ya3ny bakashekh elmukhtar ;p".. this was to make sure I was able to vote in the coming elections ;p

So i finished everything i was supposed to do and went to the mayor`s office.. they told me they dont have the records in their office anymore and i better check with the people in the elections authorities or wutever.. so i asked where and went there..

i reached the elections authority building "idarat shu2on el-intekhabat", took a step on the stairs.. walked on the red carpet "i know YeeeeY! ;p" and i saw the men and women signs but being jiji i had to ask for directions as i tend to get lost in the most obvious places ;p

There were 2 men on the threshold.. i asked them where exactly should i go if wanted to check if my name was listed? so this old kuwiaty man "with a silver front tooth" turned and looked at me as if he saw a ghost " i knwo am white.. but not that white ;p" and the other guy was an algerian journalist holding the KTV microphone, i let out a sigh of relief when i didnt see any cameras around.. so the algerian journalist told me where i can go and check if my name was listed.. and then he asked me if i wanted to run in the elections!! i was SHOCKED!! and insulted!! am only 22 "ofcourse i didnt tell him that.. well i did later.." i told him NO NO!! i just wanna check my name incase i wanted to vote.. he insisted on having an interview with me talkin about my opinion in elections and the political scene in kuwait "I KNOW!!!" i told him NO i dont think am qualified to talk about politics as am too frank and i can say thigns i may be sorry for later on.. he said no its ok you wont say anything wrong..

So i was like OK ;p lets do it, althuogh i felt awkward but hell with it lets see wut happens ;p

So he called on the KTV camera man and the interview started.. all of a sudden "Am not lieing" 20 journalists, photographers and camera men were surrounding us!!! and i heard this journalist from AL-ARABIYA channel holding up his mic and facing the camera saying ( just now in Kuwait city, the youngest female candidate in the parliment elections has enetered and we`r about to interview her and blah blah blah...) "LOL" the KTV journalist turned at him and told him i was just a citizen coming to check if i was listed or not.. then the entire crowd that was around us started laughing.. cuz they all huddled around us to catch the latest news of the youngest female candidate ;p "sij eljournalist namil ;p"

But i felt like a BIG SHOT!! cameras flashing at me and ppl making interviews about me and i was liek the news of the hour "my 15 mins of fame yeah baby".. i asked why on god`s green earth did they assume i was goin to run in the elections?! one guy told me cuz when u came in u looked like u were in control and u know wut u were doin and u knew wut u wanted.. u were very confident.. "COOOOL" so we all thought u were goin to run for the elections ;p.. i said naa`aah am just 22 i cant.. not YET.. i might tho ;p

after all the fiasco was over i went to check my name.. and the KTV guy came along with me to show me the way.. its was realllly crowded that time.. so i waited.. we had a lil chat he and i.. he asked wut i did and i told him i just finished my bachelor`s in pharmacy.. and he was screaming ( OOH NO! the doctor should not wait!!) and there vwas another guy deshdasha next to us, the journalist seemed to knwo him.. so he introduced us as me being the doctor and him some executive sum place or a newspaper editor "WUTEVER" so this guy was also like ( yeah the doctor should not stand and wait.. give me ur civil ID and follow me) so we went to an office like inside closed doors and stuff.. and there were ppl on computers ow looya.. so this man tells one of the ppl on the computers to leave everything in his hand and attend to finding my name "kashkhaaaa anaa"..

I was listed... hence i can vote "WOOOHOOO ;p".. i left that place smiling and thinking how everything happened so quickly.. and how kuwait has changed.. and how we women will "inshalla" change kuwiat to the best inshalla.. and not only women can make the change.. every loyal Kuwaiti can and will make a difference..

So... WER ALL FROM AND TO KUWAIT...

allah ykhaleeeeha lina ow ya7feth`ha ya rab

2006-05-25T13:32:00.000+03:00

I havent gone out in a really long time.. i dont mean out OUT as in having fun out.. no.. just plain old OUT ;p

This is wut jiji saw ;p

I was on the 6th ring road when i saw this! like i know i havent been out for long.. but this is outrageous!

I went to the Sheraton Hotel to finish some business.. yeah coooooool.. they gave me an idea badge ;p ow ana mo shayfa kheir so i took a pic ;p

As i was waiting for my car at the front door... NO!! am in Kuwait! NOT LONDON! its Sheraton Kuwait!!

I got in my car and i was still excited about this red double decker.. i found out that it belonged to the British School of Kuwait.. and it was for some british exhibit in the Sheraton.. it was filled with purple ballons tho ;p my favorite color ;p well sabeQan.. cuz my new fave color is RED ;)

2006-05-22T21:55:00.000+03:00

Yes.. again!
i go to the doctors` for regular check ups and this is wut i have.. SINUSITUS!! yes!! very big word.. means nuthin but a damn flu 3ala juyob 3ala ba6ekh!

i cant breath well.. i thought it was some sorta allergy.. well it was.. allergy to ba6ekh actually :) which goes by the name Shammam, ba6eeekh a9far, rock melon, honey dew melon.. but not cantelop ;p i learned that the hard way ;p... so bs enough with the ba6eekhy ba6eekh talk, bottom line here: AM ALLERGIC TO MELONS! thats why i havent been eatin them for 10 years or so.. but in the last week ive consumed HUGE amounts of them melons ;p YuMMY :) and the result was.. mild allergic reaction ;p

the doctor told me "i sooo dont wanna b u right now".. the pharmacist said " u got so many freakin drugs!!" and yes! he said freakin!! am so glad that i actually might do my rounds in this pharmacy soon this summer ;p he seemed like a funny guy ;p

A Song That Never Grows Old

2006-04-21T21:35:00.000+03:00

Have You Ever?

Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all your life
You don't do anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've givin your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for that day when they will care
What do I gotta do to get you in my arms baby
What do I gotta do to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Coz baby I can't sleep

jiji yal zarga!

2006-04-17T21:33:00.000+03:00

Ok.. so wut do u think the title implies?.... and i know some of u have been wondering wut was my last post aiming at.. well i`ll tell ya wut i was aimin.. and wut i didnt get, or maybe got in the end ;p

my lil bro has this weird annoying habit of turning every normal everday word into something either "bad, mean or even disgusting"...

for the last couple of weeks.. he`s been calling me "yal zarga" whenever i did or said something he didnt like ;p

HOWEVER.. this is not the story ;p

here we go.. THE BLUE STORY..

it all started on friday afternoon.. when mom asked me to go to the co-op to get some stuff.. so i went there.. and like the good daughter am always am, i got everything she asked for.. but then i walked into an aisle.. an aisle like no other.. where horror stories have been told and innocent lives have been lost.. and alot of blood ha.... (yeah right ;p).. well i walked into the hair dyes aisle and i was like (HALAAALOOYAAA)...

so i thought to myself: "i really need to get myself something nice".. any other girl would buy a candy bar.. juice.. magazine.. ice cream.. skin care products.. sunscreen.. wutever.. but not jiji i`ll grant u that ;p...

as i was strolling down that aisle, my hands reached out to grab a box.. the color was "BLUE BLACK"... it has always been a dream of mine to dye my hair a color thats really out there ;p...

i figured this would b safe.. and results wont b as drastic as if i had my hair done in a beauty salon.. plus my hair is already dark.. y3ny c`mon ana Q80ya min wen ley elshegar ;p

i didnt show mom the dye i bought to avoid her rage ;p u know.. i was protecting my lil baby box :p

so the next day, i told her that i bought black hair dye.. of course she gave me a lecture about the disadvantages of hair dyes... etc..... bs ana a9arait iny i do it!.. she agreed.. till now.. she was clueless of the true color of the dye ;p

i asked her to do it for me.. so she staretd applying the dye to my scalp and hair.. of course the color was BLUE!! LOL! BLUE as in pepsi can blue ;p

mom: jiji why is this thing turning ur head blue?!
me: ee mom.. i forgot to tell u.. the dye i bought... is blue black.. not black!
mom: *furious*
me: its ok.. (and i showed her the box so she could see the final result of the dye on my hair, which according to my current hair color will get me black hair with a hint of navy blue)
mom: y3ny azraq..?? jiji.. am getting lon azraq pepsi!! blue ink!! its not dark at all..
me: *ambeeeeh!!! quietly!!*
mom: hehehe khalas.. its up to u.. if u lost ur hair afterwards and u looked like a dead circus clown dont come to me crying!
me: wanasaa i`ll b a clown!
mom: 7mdilla ow elsheker.. hatha wenty my eldest!
lil bro: jiji yaaalll zaaarqaaaa!! ( hatha madre min wen 6ab 3alaina ;p)
mom: shefna ow 3eshna!
me: *chaaaakkk chaaaak chaaaak ow 6ag6ega ow 7aflaaat dakhel ;p*

40 minutes passed by waiting for the color to develop.. i washed my hair.. dried it... and...
MY HAIR IS NOT BLUE BLACK!! ITS JUST BLACK!! this hair dye is a scham!! *sooooo disappointed*

one hour later.. i noticed some navy blue streaks in my hair.. so i had a relief!!.. then inoticed one or two baby blue streaks.. and i though it was cool.. the entire body of my hair was still BLACK..

waiting another hour.. the baby blue streaks were still baby blue.. and may have disappeared... and the navy blue strands developed into a brighter blue ink shade with a hint of pepsi can blue.. and now.. my entire hair is black + navy blue!!!!

i waaaassss sooooo excited!!!!! finally! i did something ive been dieing to try for years!!

as happy as i am.. i dont think ill go blue again.. next step.. hmm purple or red.. we`ll see ;p

but since am blue... i havent been really blue.. "thank god"!... i dunno why i thought i should be blue when i go blue ;p

p.s. that my current hair color ;p

Why are you so blue?

2006-04-16T19:19:00.000+03:00

When somebody says: "ooh am so blue!"

would u jump in and say: yeah.. he/she is so overwhelmed with over due papers.. unpaid bills.. unpaid debts..
or maybe he/she lost some one so close and dear.. or he/she is stuck in daily routine.. some ladies would get post partum depression (AKA) baby blues.. or some one is blue cuz he/she listenning to the blues? "y9eer?"... eelaaakh elaaakh..

or do u think that some ppl y9eron blue cuz they stepped in blue paint?.. or they got blue ink pockets?.. aw a7ad ya y3ny ib yetghashmar ow 9ab 3alehom blue paint ;p.. (cheny ba3adt 3an elmawtho3 ;p)

so u see.. most of the time.. ppl are blue ghasben 3anhom.. but..

1.did u know or hear of ppl who became blue on purpose? why? what were they aiming for? did they change after goin blue?

2. wuts ur favorite blue thing?

3. wut does blue remind u of?

4. if u were the color blue.. wut shade would u b?

Brakooley..

Why?! why is it that everytime am about to finish a big chapter in my life i start obsessing about the next!
am graduating this year inshalla.. a moment ive been wating for my entire life.. so wuts the problem? am not satisfied! i want more! more education! i know am in an everlasting feild of knowledge as medicine changes contiuously! bs still I WANT MORE!!

i dunno if i can do it.. after graduating from my skool am not sure ill get accepted again in KU.. especially that my GPA is.. hmm well lets say its OK ow bs ;p so am not sure ill get in again.. although it did happen in the past.. and the faculty which am thinkin about enrolling in has accepted student "nafs 7alty" before.. but that was almost 15 years ago.. am not sure i wanna study abroad.. i mean my parents wont have a problem with me living and studying abroad.. bs ana i cant live alone! am afraid ill b sick one day and no one will b around to take care of me :(

its ok if i get the chance to study abroad.. and it would be better if i had the chance to finish off right here in Q8..

what do i want from my life? why am i never satisfied? i know i can do better than just my degree :(

is it possible that i cant imagine my life being anything rather than a student? dont get me wrong... am not the "bookworm" type of girl.. bs madreee i just feel i wanna b the BEST i could b..

this will b a HUGE step for me to take! am ready to take my chances and DO IT.. but the thing is.. well.. how old will i b by time i finish my 2nd degree?

the bachelor am getting this summer pays much much much better money than the profession am goin to study for :(

but i really want this new degree.. i wanna b "ash`har min elnar 3ala el3alam" and thats one thing my current bachelor degree wont provide for me :(.. and am pretty sure that the degree am hoping ill get "maybe inshalla" will help me b wut i want to b.. am not "full of it" but honestly; i know myslef and i know i can b the best in wut i do.. so why stop at the end of the line, while there a beautiful GREEN FEILD just right behind this line?

i could go on and on and on and oooooon forever.. wut can i do..? am in desperate need of help so i could decide wut i reallllly want to do for the rest of my life!

I LaB DeM BeRRY MuCH!

2006-03-12T22:45:00.000+03:00

I know ull all go (HUH?!) when u see this post.. bs i could not let another day go by without paying a tribute to my favorite SHOES!!

I have selected some of my favorite pairs ;p and for each pair i have a story or a memory that i wont forget :)

So, once again, my SHOES!! i love u alllllll!!!!!!! so even if ur picture is not posted here (talkin to my shoes).. u know u`ll always have that special spot in my heart :)

although they are black`n`yellow.. bs i made sure i wear them (shamelessly) with everything i own! plus they`re reallllllly comfy :)

funny story sarat ley once when i was wearing them to the airport.. and there yomha kan nady elqadysa (in yellow) imsafren madre besafron on mu3askar madre sheno.. for some odd reason the entire airport was fixated on me! lool! everyone thought i wore those boots as neeshan to some guy from that team y3ny assuming ina i was dating (3emyany) one of them ;p
DONT GET ANY THOUGHTS!! AM NOT LIKE THAT!!

pretty aih? well this pair proves that sensible shoes are nuthin but an urban legend ;p
they look like they just came thru a time vortex! back from the days of Louis the 14th madre 16th... "choose whomever u like best ;p"

they look ok to u 6b3an? yeah sure.. but not to me! they 2 sizes bigger than my actual size!! why did i buy shoes that dont fit!?!?! 3adi INSOLES ;p hehehe.. bs walla they make me look sophisticated :)

Nanu`s favorite ;p
once i asked her "if u could steal one thing from me, wut would it be?" she said "THEM!"

love at 1st sight? madreeee... its just that i knew i had to make`em mine once i laid eyes on them! also goes with everything i own ;p (ghaseb i wear weya kil shy)

7ad`hom comfy.. well they`re sports shoes madre semi-boots or wutever!.. bs kil elly a3arfa: TOO COMFY!

every year i go thru this "silver shoes/boots/sandales" phase! i like to refer to this condition as my "silver fad" ;p

this funky pair came with a clutch bag.. which i wanted to post as well.. bs since this post is a tribute to my shoes.. i didnt want to mix joys by posting a single pic for one lonely clutch bag ;p

madree shagoool!! less is more ;p
a7eb`hom! ;p they are comfy altho they look terribly back wrecking :)

aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! my silver fad continues ;p
now these platforms are my new black shoes!! you see once am in love with a pair i tend to make it my official foot uniform, day in and day out ;p

i like the satin straps that tie around the ankle and leg :) makes me look like a ballerina :) and the silver is really silvery shiny and glittery ;p

for some reason (genetic maybe) there isnt one girl in my family who does not own a pair of these!! they`re simply preeeetty to look at and in ;p and they feel like walkin on clouds (cloud #9 ;p)

Mood: DEPRESSED!

2006-03-08T09:57:00.000+03:00

I have no idea how i became depressed! am always an optimistic person looking at the world from pink colored glasses! i know this MAJOR DEPRESSION PHASE has nuthin to do with my infamous bad luck. ive had bad luck for as long as i could remember, but it never put me down like i am right now.. am lost, dunno wuts goin to happen in my life! i feel like life is changing and am still right where i used to be.. am anhedonic! I WAS NEVER LIKE THIS!! shelly 9ar, shelly 7a9aL?! plus am showing JERRRO interest in everything!! all i do is sleep and watch TV! so much is going on in my life at the moment.. but i feel like i want out.. i dont wanna join anyone in anything! i need to take a break and regain my OLD ME!

**JiJi calling her "old self" back: sorry if i never took good care of u.. come back and we`ll have GREAT times together.. i promise.. just come back.. PUUUHHAALEAEEESE

Survey

2006-02-25T17:46:00.000+03:00

ok..so i have to do this survey for a research i'm doing and give out a questionaire. Bad news! I can't do it. I've realized i don't have it in me to aproach people and ask them to fill in a questionaire for me.
I went out today with the purpose of distributing my questionaire to people so they can fill it out. I stayed about an hour at that place without approaching anyone...there was no one approachable a9lan!...I'm begining to think i might have phobia :s I don't know how I'm going to carry on with my research. I guess I'll have to find someone else to distribute those questionaires for me. Now that would be very helpful.

Sad Story

2006-02-19T23:10:00.000+03:00

Only when u think u got it bad and ur life is takin a dive to the worse, something comes along and makes u THANK GOD ur living the life u know it with all its ups and downs. Like when they say "lama t3arf humom gherik hanat 3aleek humomik".. So read this story and just thank god that ur lucky to b u...

When i 1st started my medical rotation in the pediatric wards in the hospital, i kept seeing this young boy who was around 10-12 years old. he had this intratrachial tube wrapped around his neck for he had some sort of respiratory disorder, and he looked like someone with a mental disorder or something. i always saw him hanging with the porters and cleaning people, and i have never seen any family members visiting him.. and whenever we were to start our daily rounds, the day finishes and we never got to check on him.. this happened everyday for a whole week.. i thought it was weird, since this boy was there the entire week and maybe even before that. so i let it pass and forgot about him, thinking that perhaps it wasnt our doctors duty to check on him.

so the next week we were with the doctor in-charge of training us in the meeting room, when all of a sudden this boy walks into the room and asks the doctor for chocolates and chips.. she told him to look in the drawer maybe he will find some.. at this point i was really curious to know this boy`s story, so i asked the doctor.. she said that he was born to a slightly psychotic mother, and that there are some social problems in his family since the parents got divorced and the mother got remarried. he was born with congenital problems, which was the reason why he was admitted to the hospital at a very young age (maybe when he was less than 1 year old).. this mother; being psychotic.. refused to take care of her child! and refused to take him back home! this boy suffers from respiratory depression and severe attacks of hypoglycemia.. and apparently she can not take care of him.. so she told the doctors that she didnt want him and never came back to take him! now this boy is living in the hospital! hes been living there all his life!

as the doctor was telling us his story, the boy was upset cuz he didnt find any treat.. and asked the doctor "money money?" the doctor told him that she hasnt got any now.. and that she will someone to the baqala to buy him some treats.. the kid starting begging the doctor and kiised her hand asking for money once again! he kept on kissing her hand and stretching his hands up in wut seemed to b a prayer! maybe he meant "plz give me money,..for god`s sake" i was like (!!!!!!) the doctor ordered him to leave, and so he left..

we asked the doctor "why was he begging u for money?!!" and she said that the hospital porters abused him and taught him how to beg for money from people who come to the hospital, since these porters werent supposed to beg in the hospital "DUH!".. the story broke my heart and i almost cried :(.. anyway we wanted to know more but we had to continue with the cases discussion with the doctor..

3ala mar elasabee3.. i kept seeing him giving the money he begged for to the awful porters! and they treated him badly those stupid porters! i was never able to look at him :( i felt really bad for him.. today were with another doctor in the same ward.. and we saw him.. (this doctor wasnt an old consultant or anything, she looked like someone who just graduated from med skool.. she was sweet).. so we took the chance and asked her about this boy`s story.. she told us about his psychotic mom and the social problems his family had.. i asked why isnt he in a child care centre or an orphanage ? she said those child homes and orphanages refused to take him cuz they dont want to take responsibility for him since he serious health problem which needed constant monitoring from a doctor.. the main reason they refused him was cuz they dont have a doctor and dont wanna get into trouble if anything bad happened to him while he was there! HOW LAME!!?!

we asked her why no one ever comes to visit him? she told us that his older brothers used to come visit him.. and they even took him home with them over night or for the weekend.. problem was: his brothers and family abused him sexually! (GOD!!!).. they found out about this problem when he came back form these days away from the hospital.. he used to return with bruises all over his body, feeling bad and used.. upon further questioning the doctors found out that he was really abused by them! are they even human?! BEASTS! even beasts don treat their young ones this way! and so the docs issued an order forbidding his brothers from visiting him.

how can people who abandon their own flesh and blood, and people who abused children sleep at night!! this story made me really appreciate my life! am lucky i was born to my parents.. raised in a family that is tightly related!
how many times have we complained about how unfair our parents were?.. or how mean they were.. or how they never seemed to understand u?.. how many times have we told them to their faces in angry moment that we hate them? we are all lucky we have a roof over our head.. a family whom we love and loves us back!

Think about this story for a minute.. then look at ur life.. and.. well see how great ur life is.. please pray for this boy.. there is nothing stronger than the power of prayer..

i really feel that the minister of health should know about this story..
am not going to point fingers at anyone, but i think the hospital staff handled this kid`s situation in a way they shouldnt have.. they could have done much more to help him.. i know its outta their hands but they could atleast let the people hear about his story.. there is still some goodness left in the world.

End.

Still hangin`

I wannaa live in Japan! i dunno why.. but since last night this has been my fantasy ;p (more like Final Fantasy ;p)

After my flu turned out to be pneumonia, i couldnt think of anything to write.. cuz shakla the pneumonia bacteria colonized my brain as well!! plus i feel that ive lost my memory! i always had good memory bs for the last couple of days i became seriously "imkharfa".. 3ady ba3ad mareetha shasaweeeeee :(

anyways.. yesterday after coming home from wrok.. i entered my room.. and SURPRISE SURPRISE!! mom decided to change the entire setting of my bedroom!! i mean she always does change decoration ghurafna.. bs since i was sick i though i lost my mind for good this time!

i tried to accept the fact that it still was my bedroom! bs no use! the bed is not where it was supposed to be, neither was the tasre7a, tables,bookshelves and charis!! the only things mom couldnt change were the closets cuz they were built-in ;p bs i know if she could break them out off the wall and move them she would have no problem believe me!

thank god i was too sick to over think this change.. and accepted the fact that i was hallucinating ;p fa nimt min elta3ab..

when i woke up.. i found out that my parents makhthen ley maw3ed 3nd doctor amrath jehaz tanafusy "respirologist" who happens to be my cousins uncle and a previous lecturer ;p

so i went there with mom who was on my case all the time.. she was telling me that am careless cuz i did not bring my medications to show them to the doctor.. i told her i know wut im taking and i can tell him about them easily.. she was like "enty sh3arefich sheno ga3da takhthen?!!!" ow eb galby agol "o ana madre lesh ga3da adres ow ata3ib galby dam my parents dont believe that i do go to skool to gain knowledge!!!"

so i go into the doctors office.. and ofcourse mom lazim edish ;p.. he started asking me the normal Qs and stuff about allregy and asthma and what not.. and mom was like ee doctor jiji eats ice cream all the time thats why she has pneumonia! i was like "laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa moooooooooooooooom!!!" the doctor laughed.. knwoing my mom he wasnt surprised from what she said ;p.. ashwa barrad galby ow gal laha a9lan mako 3alaqa ;p

so mom asks him.. "shlonha biljam3a? sha6ra?" ana bs bagheeet ante7er cuz mom 3awerat galby ;p.. and she knows this doctor only gave us a couple of lectures and that was about it! i dunno why she asked him this Q!! she made me feel like a skool kid ;p bs ashwa the doctor explained to her that he only taught us a couple of times and it wont be fair for me if he judged me ;p

the doctor was happy that i knew what he was talkin about since he was the one who taught us about repiratory disorders ;p ( ya enty ya jiji ;p) so he started asking me about my disease! he asked me about causes, treatment and what to do in relapse!!!! he even made me explain my lung x-rays and made me diagnose myself!! at this point i was literally pulling out my eye lashes!!!! bs maskeen he was saying "c`mon i taught u guys this u shouldnt have forgotten it yet! ow ana eb galby "yeah right!!!".. bs ashwa i answered all his question right ;p final diagnosis was atypical pneumonia.. 7asby allah ow ni3m elwakeeel :(.. bs ashwa 6amany ina mako shay inshalla and i just had to continue my antibiotic course and do a new x-ray for my chest after 10 days then see him after those 10 days.

but seriously.. am still scared :( this disease is quite serious! inshalla i will recover from it and ill be back to my normal life; since all i do these days is cough and lay in bed ;p

P.S.
Mom i loveeeeeeeeeeeee you walllaaaa sorry for te7el6imin 3aleech bs am sick bare with me :)

Nanu on the Road

2006-02-14T23:04:00.000+03:00

ok so the road stories never end....

While going to my dawam this morning I get a big bus trying to squash me?..whats the matter with buses and crazy drivers?..I am sure non of those bus drivers have 'insight' that they are actually driving a BIG vehicle.

Anyways so the story goes the other way around...I'm going out of my dawam at the hospital driving my car happily and suddenly a man standing on the pavement decides to cross the road the moment I come flying past him!!! Fortunately for him (or me) he only took a step onto the road, otherwise he would have been squashed flat on the street. Is he crazy?! I don't know, I mean the Psychiatric Hospital was close by. What would have happened to me if I'd squashed him?! My god that was scary...... but the funny thing is: I was the one who just came out of the psychiatric Hospital ... lol (...hey, don't get any ideas I work there these days.. but I'm changing my hospital site soon)

Just to spice things up on the way close to my home I almost drove on a dead cat! Now here I let out a scream.... imagine dead cat remains on my beautiful car's wheels??...I would never do that to my beloved car especially on Valentine's day. And of course I won't forget being sorry for the poor cat who would not only be dead, but also squashed with its remains all over the fourth ring road . . .Yuck!!

word of the day: SQUASH

drive safely my fellow bloggers

I am not a Mushroom!!! Or am I?

2006-02-12T22:10:00.000+03:00

Today me and the bugs in my lungs celebrate our 2nd week anniversary together :)

WoOoOoOoOoO0OHHHoOoOoOoOoOoOo!!!!!

Hoping for more days to come in the company of my favourite germs.. my lung germs!!

This flu made me go waaackoooo!! ive lost it! no brain! jiji not jiji anymore! i dunno how long this flu will last.

Now my nose has stopped running.. and its not stuffed anymore ;p .... BUT....

the major problem is COUGHING!!

Over the past few days ive coughed up some bits and pieces of my lungs, heart, stomach, intestine, liver.. and am pretty sure some of my brain meningis (y3ny la a6la3 chathaba ;p) I cant stand it anymore..!! now all i do is cough! cant talk.. i cough.. cant eat.. i cough.. cant sleep.. i cough.. cant write a good post.. i cough... you see, its a vicious cycle!! its either i cough or i`ll die!!

My friends are starting to avoid sitting next to me in class so that i dont "infect them"!! to them am just a walking jarthoma!! all they say is (khalech b3ed la ejarthemena!!) walla i feel like eljamra elkhabeetha "Anthrax" :(

My lil brother wont let me be!! whenever i cough (which is all the time) he keeps blowing me off with a small portable fan!!! and keeps saying ( go spread ur germs elsewhere u mushroom!) allllllaaaah yaaaa idenya!! al7en anaaa!! jijiiiii... jeeeejz 9ert bil akhra mushrooma?!!! wala zeman!

When i thought about wut he said.. i suddenly switched from the coughing mode to the laughing mode ;p i imagined myself being a human sized walking mushroom that keeps germinating wherever it found people so it could infect them ;p

Remember those Nintendo days?! :)

Sleepless in Q8

2006-02-12T18:12:00.000+03:00

ok..so I'm too sleepy after a tiresome loooong day and I go to bed at around 7 or 8 or lets say 9. If this happens I become really worried because I know what is going to happen. First I'll get ready for bed and a6anish half my b4-going-2-bed rituals. Then once comfortably in my bed, under my covers, feeling very warm and extremely comfortable it starts. I get back my energy full time in less than an hour's time. I try to fight that urge to get up again. I mean I already am in bed, get on with it and sleeeep!! (maybe I feel guilty for the ditching of the rituals part...don't even ask what my silly rituals are cuz most of them fade off with time and I develop new ones :P)
Anyways so I stay until there is no more sleepiness in my that I can no longer stand staying in bed in a dark room. It only makes me angrier at myself for not being able to SIMPLY sleep. Bare in mind by the time I get my full energy back it would be past my "usual" bedtime, which only makes things even worse and me even more angry at why I can't become a normal person!! (il7imdilla 3ala kil 7aal, some ppl don't sleep at all...I know)
Soo what to do???...I get this condition quit frequently. It may get better or worse depending on the time of year..(not really, I havn't figured out the pattern yet :s). First I try to think of someone who is awake. I can either call or sms. Many times its just 'tisili6' that everyone decides to sleep early that day or something. Second choice: log on the internet. Third choice: watch a movie.
or Fourth choice: do all 1st 3 choices ;)
...eventually I go to sleep

Jiji on the road

2006-02-11T19:26:00.000+03:00

Are drivers in Q8 crazy or is it just me? am not going to whine about the daily havoc of traffic! am talking about accidents!! Especially those happening to ME!!

I mean why do accidents always happen to me? and the majority of accidents that happen to me are quite funny ;p 3adi Jiji ;p

Like akher 7adeth 9ar ley! kan qimmaat elma9khara! i was stuck in the middle of the morning traffic.. i was in the middle lane.. it wasnt moving at all.. so was the left lane.. while the right lane was (although slowly) moving.. so this " white TOYOTA waneet" (the kind used to move sheep and other living things) which was next to me in the left lane decides to (la7thaaaw!!) get infront of me by kicking me off the road!!! he hit me so he could cross me and take on the right lane! once he was in the right lane.. khala9 he was gone!! i was there!! helloooooo!!! last time i checked i was in a real car! not an imaginary one! did he stop? NO! why should he! to him i was just a small insignificant pebble on the road! 7emdilla nothing happened to me! but my door was dented :( not a small dent.. it was a big one :(

after he hit me and ran i couldnt drive! i put the car on "P" and just stayed there ma9doma min elly 9ar! and everyone in the street passed me by giving me a ( 6al3o elmaskena shlon da3amha ow en7ash) look ;p
y3ny 6al3a mn elbeit ow killy sa3ada ow talyat`ha I get into this STUPD accident! allah yertha?

I think driving licences should not be given to waneet drivers PERIOD! OR those white waneets must be banned for good!

The use of SMS

2006-02-09T22:22:00.000+03:00

It is well known that sms is short for short message service. This means that it was created for short messages. You can think of it as a kind of evolution in the world of letters. It can probably be considered more advanced that e-mail because, technically, it is easier to access.

Sometimes it can be very usefull in eliminating useless conversations if you have something else important to do. At other times, it saves time by sending the same sms to a group of people instead of having to talk to each person individually. It is a great way to contact friends and family who live abroad, or those who are out of the country in general (supposedly cheaper).

This is when you use it normally. It can get out of hand sometimes when the message replies never end! This is funny stuff most of the time that goes on forever. It can also be difficult if you have a really long message to deliver. You know you're at this stage when you start sending 3 sms's for 1. In this condition it might be best to make the call and risk the extra talking :p

You might be wondering what got me thinking of all that? I got a really short email of one sentence which I thought was weird to be sent as an e-mail. It should have been an sms :)

FLU!

2006-02-09T14:24:00.000+03:00

my nose is running like a RIVER!

my throat is stuffed with all sorts of swamp creatures this time.. not only a frog: a LOT of frogs, crocodiles, snakes, ducks, birds (wut the..!!! birds?!) and even leeches!!

i dont believe in taking drugs to cure a cold or a flu! i only drink herbal teas!

i know why am not getting better! its the damn flu shot i got on November!!

till i get better.. i dont think i`ll b able to write more about my life.. cuz now.. my life is nothing but FLUEEY!!.. *sneeze* :(

Meet everybody, I am everybody!

2006-02-07T13:36:00.000+03:00

first the story that sparked the (7arraaaa) in me..

Yesterday at the hospital I forgot some papers on the reception desk.. so this morning I went to take them.. as I was leaving a nurse (b3ada ma yabela"fiiiillllliiiiippppppiiinnnnaaa") was shocked to see me!! madree 3abalha shayfa yenny or something!! chan tgoley "wow u LooQ transpormed!" I smiled at her and walked away.. all of a sudden she was infront of me telling me how I white I look now and that my face is alot brighter than before! "really?!" I said. cuz we only met yesterday!! how would i 'transform' 3ala golat`ha bayn laila wa tho7aha ;p ?? anyway I took that as a compliment, thanked her and left.

a couple of hours later, I saw one of the doctors who attended yesterdays rounds with us.. she was like "ENTY?!!" I looked around me ib kil ru3b ow thu3r! chan agolaha "lesh shfench Dr?", she said " nurse [PaQTeRia]<- madre shesemha ;p, anyway said that she sawDr.X; a doctor who used to work with them in that same ward, but left to finish up her degree up in Canada" .. elnurse emkamla 3aleha ow gayla 7ag elDr ina she`s more beautiful now, thinner and even her complexion is lighter!!

idektora tgol ana estaghrabt! cuz Dr.X is a friend of mine, and i`ll know if she were back in Q8! bs no way she leaves Canada!! cuz she just went there ;p

maskena elDr galat ley ana madre lesh I felt she was dreaming or maybe hallucinating ;p .. anyway.. elDr gamat e6ali3ny.. e6ali3ny.. e6ali3ny.. and I was thinking to myself "NO, DONT TELL ME I LOOK LIKE HER!!!!!!!!" unfortunately... SHE TOLD ME I LOOKED LIKE the Canada Dr!!!! bs ag9ar, ath3af, ow afta7!!! y3ny ib ikhte9ar she looked nothing like me bs sub7an allah I look like her ;p

the moral behind this story is: am afraid that one day I might wake up with an earased face!!!

Why do people think I look like someone they know!! everytime I see people ma3arefhom, the first thing they tell me would HAVE to be "ambeeeh 7addich teshbehen flana! I thought u were her" mo bs in Q8 with Q80.. 3ady barra Q8 ow mo q80s ygoloon ley BITHAB6 nafs elshay!!!

even mom!!!!!!! y3ny c`mon!!! MOM!!!! once she and dad were out.. when they came home mom asked me: "enty muta radaity?" which is weird, cuz when they left I was home, and I didnt leave the house!.. I told her I didnt leave in the first place to get back home! she looked at me ow eb 3ainha sharaaaar.. and said "NO!! SAW U!! u were wearing [wuteva and wuteva]" miney ana in9edamt!! cuz I actually own similar clothes! ga3adna ana weyaha saaa3a yallla istantajna that I resemble the entire female gender in the world! cuz we both heard comment on me looking like everyone.. so this was the best answer to mom`s (still) freaky situation ;p

those arent the only times awkwardness like this had happened.. even I once saw my double ;p in the dentist ;p

So if u miss someone just come and see me.. RESULTS are 100% guaranteed ;p

Borrowing Tunes

2006-02-07T00:05:00.000+03:00

I was on my way to my dawam this morning listening to 95.7. They had an english/spanish song on with the same music as amr diab's tamaly ma3aak!! I started singing tamaly ma3ak to make sure the words fit the music and they did that so perfectly.
Now, the funny thing is that there is also a hindi song with the same music. At the end of that hindi song, the artist (who sounds very hindi) sings part of tamaly ma3ak. I thought that was a nice gesture where he shows that this song was not truelly his, but that he had "borrowed" the music from this arabic song. (I don't know if you guys know that many hindi songs use music from songs that were already hits over here. Examples include: a7ibak laih by abdulmajeed and 3a6shana irweeni by najwa karam) This is not to mention the international hits they also use for "help".
So, do you see what happened here? The tune was "borrowed" twice with reference to the second borrowing and none whatsoever to the original english/spanish song (that is if it was the original one???)
...Look out for any more "borrowed" tunes.

Hospitals :<

Hmmm... although my operation is being done in an outpatient clinic bs its within a hospital setting.. and my last hospital addmission was NOT so pleasent :<

I still remember what had happened that day like it was yesterday.. Friday: september 16th.2005!! time: 8am.. I woke up feeling a strange pain in my stomach!! my abdomen was too hard!! upom knocking i heard what sounded like a brick inside my tummy :< and when i looked in the mirror i looked like a pregnant lady in her 2nd trimester!!!!

i wentback to bed.. but i couldnt sleep.. i couldnt stay still in one position without screaming from pain! faj2a.. ra7 kil shay.. so i went down stairs to have my breakfast, which was a chocolate fudge cheese cake nafs malat lorenzo yet better cuz home made ;p saaay7a imsaye7a bil microowave ;p (yuuMmmY abey!!)

Back.. feeling better ;).. much BETTER ;p
The old cartoons bit reminded me of elshanakil ow elsanafer (smurfs in english and shlumfe in dutch ;p) and sanafer reminded me of a funny story ;p

My uncle has a habit of buying used cars from family members whenever they think of getting rid of their old cars to buy new ones.. since he is a mechanical engineer.. and worked for sharkat elmowasalt and in garagat mercedes (spelling 3ala thamanat my bro ;p) fa he knows his way around cars and he can make an old one brand new, engine wise and stuff like that..

By the time my cousin turned 18, she had already graduated from high school and her dad kan tawa shary a 91 navy blue volvo from my other cousin.. he fixed it ow kanat an OK car, or so we were led to believe ;p.. anyway.. since it was summer and i used to sleep over my cousin`s all summer long ;p and she just had her driver`s permit.. we were allowed to go out in that car..

i remember the first time we went out in that car.. as my cousin (as a new driver ;p) was fixing the seat and the side mirrors and the rear view mirror.. i opened the head mirror.. only to be surprised by a pile of wires attacking my face ;p and the best part was that there was no mirroooooorr!!!
elmohim.. 6ala3na mn garage bet`hom.. ow 6ala3na 3ala elshare3 elra2esy.. lil asaf elsayara kanat 7ad`ha imkarbena elly law endoos feha 200 makanat tamshy asra3 mn 60 :p

we had so many adventures in sharshabel ;p yama ow yama kanat tengeful 3alena ow nen7ebis dakhelha.. and i cant even remember the number of times where it refused to start ;p

2 months after cruising around Q8 in sharshabel.. my cousin got a new car.. by chance.. it was blue!!! as blue as a sanfoor ;p hence came the name sanfoora ;p.. cuz it represented everything sharshabel was lacking ;p
kil ma ne6la3 eb sanfoora we have memories of sharshabel :p i dunno wut my uncle did with it ;p

2006-02-04T02:56:00.000+03:00

Since my last post made dwell on my long lost gift :< which was playing piano and key board.. My parents told me I started playing too young.. probably around 3..
There was a piano in my grand parents house.. it was right infront of you when you enetered the 9ala.. there were no babyat there except for me, so it was safe having that piano bil9ala:P , since all the other kids were 7 and over ;p my mom told me that I used to love sitting on the piano stool and hit the keys.. but she said she heard what I used to play and it was similar to songs or something close to real music.. and since I was their first born and still had no bros and sisters (no3 my parents mistansen iny 6efl elmu3jeza) my mom kanat wayed mehtama eb mawtho3 enny I play on that piano every time we were in my grand parents house..

Lama sert eb 3omr ilrawtha.. there was this thing where they ask you if you liked to play music and they do try outs.. I made it.. and I was chosen to play the piano.. not the key board.. THE BIG PIANO in the music classroom ;p I think wagt`ha my parents 7ad`hom iftakhraw feny.. so they went all out and bought me a piano!! its was amazing! it was black and shiny :) I played it all the time :)
anyway.. I continued being in the skool music club.. and I was the best if I may say cuz the teacher was always like "kids!! listen to jiji and look at jiji" (hey nanu, maybe thats why they made me eat dirt:p) and other kids would get jelous ;p until it was that day.. we were practicing our music peice, when the music teacher suddenly started screaming at the girl playing the tambourine and the boy playing the triangle cuz they were talking while the music was playing.. I used to like that music teacher, but the moment I heard her scream, I ran outta the classroom!!! I dunno what came over me?! I even started crying!!! kil shay 9ar faj2a! 7ata the poor lady tried getting me back in class and telling me how good I was and that she wasnt screming at me.. bs mako fayda!!! When I got home and saw my piano I remembered what happened in school.. and started attacking the piano with all the power I had in my little body ;p I even broke a white key and some black keys.. When mom and dad saw what happened and they already knew what had happened in school (noo3hom kanaw ma yajberony 3ala shay), they told me if I hated the piano for good they could give it to my cousin who was also into music, I said yes.. Since that time.. the piano was no longer in our house.. my parents gave it to my cousin.. and she still has it.. and its in top condition (after fixing the broken keys akeed ;p) as it was a top of the line piano ;p

After that incident, I stopped playing piano or any other instrument.. and everytime I see a piano I remember the horrible scream.. a3teqed eny te3aqadt bs ma7ad dara 3any ;p I dont even like touching music instruments.. my sis got a guitar a couple of years ago and I cant stand it.. I hate being n its presence ;p Dont get me wrong.. I STILL LOVE LISTENNING TO MUSIC :)

Nanu, its just you and me here ;p

Although its just us logging to our blogspot, I think its worth it ;p We`ve been checking every hour every day ;p talk about seeking perfection ;p

Anyhooo.. Yesterday I came across some of the old cartoons from my childhood.. and I started watching them (MaDeNaT ALNaKHeeL, SaLLY, ToM & JeRRY), as I was watching these cartoons I remembered how obsessed with cartoon I was back then.. Remember Bell Wa Sebastian? the kid who lost his mom and with the help of his dog he started looking for her all over spain? anyway, I used to believe if I let my mom go out with my aunts or if I had spent the night at a cousin`s place she would be kidnapped or something and I would have to go out and find her!! for that reason, I never had a successful sleep over from ages 4-6 ;p and even if I really did spend the night out, my parents would be expecting me to be back before it was even 12 am ;p (talk about being de3la ;p) and my uncles were always teasing me that if I wont behave they`d keep away my mom and I will be like Bell ow Sebastian.. and reaction used to be "but how will I find her?! atleast Sebastian had a dog, I dont even own a bird!" ;p
"mekey" ;p as in MiCKeY Mouse ;p and the pleural would be "mekeyat". Although all the other kids called it cartoons (not very common back then) or the MOST common term "bababy" min the cartoon pop`eye I believe ;p but no one I knew called cartoons "mekey" like my bro and sis used to call them ;p I used to be the laughing stock in school for calling cartoons "mekey" kids would gather around me and go like" hey Jiji wut is ka3bol?" and I`d go like "he`s a dog in mekey".. I still get some raised eye brows whenever people know that I call cartoons "mekey" ;p

So, what did you use to call cartoons?

Why do we always feel that whenever we`re sick or tired or goin thru surgery that we are the only people to have ever been in such situations?!
Last week my cousin caught the flue for the 3rd time in 2 months! ow 3ala golat`ha she is not supposed to get the flue cuz she simply never gets the flue!! bare in mind she is a doctor to be!! she called me telling me ina she is doin a blood test cuz she is convinced now ina she has no White blood Cells to fights away infections!! anyway she goes to the doctor.. she had her temperature taken and it was a normal 37.2!! was she convinced!? noooo!! her temp was only 37.2 cuz its cold outside and the atmospheric temperature is masking her body temperature! can u believe that girl!! 3ady its so typical of her ;p

I have a cousin who went to do lasek eye surgery, but the doctor told him ina he wont be able to perform it until he fixes the 7awal he has in his right eye! cuz he has loose occular muscles and thats wuts causing the mild 7awal (bilkuwaity 7awar ;p) anyway he did the operation to correct the in7eraf in his right eye.. he is ok now, all he needs is rest and to wait a couple of months before he could do lasek.. we all paid him a (sick person) visit cuz 7aram tawah 6ali3 min 3amaleya.. now listen to this!! he said something stupidly weird! he was sitting bil9ala ow dar madarah alla the family albums min 3omra kan sa3a lema the last pic he had taken! he says ina his neck used to be tilted (emayelha chena meste7y) before he fixed his 7awar and now his neck is straight!!! sheno hal man6eq elGHABY!! he 22 mafroth ekon fahim mo yahel!! I tried convincing him thats its all in his head and he has not gone out yet or even walked to check his demented theory! bs he was like NO I used to tilt my nick cuz I had 7awar.. now I can look straight cuz my eyes are fixed!! 7emddilla ow elshekir!!

Ama bilnesba ley ana; am doin lasek this sunday ow a9lan mikhtar3a.. ow ma3a salfa my cousin am startin to believe ina I too have 7awar or somthing wrong with my eyes! inshalla its all in my head, after all, we`re just one crazy bunch of folks ;p

The Dentist Visit

2006-02-02T00:13:00.000+03:00

I took my little sister, Tota, to the dentist clinic yesterday to get her teeth checked. It was no normal clinic. It is where the dentistry students try to learn how to perform dentistry in the mouths of those who volunteer. So there I go to meet my friend, who is a dentistry student, to check on Tota's teeth. Of course she was too shocked to learn from me that Toata had no carries :p ......hehe..those students are so eager to start attacking those carries. Anyways, Tota had one of her laughing fits over there. Those are dangerousely contageous! So, me, Tota, and Dr Friend were all laughing in her own cubicle. I mean Tota would look at me and laugh because she was confused how a friend, my own age, was actually going to check her teeth! I had to assure her that Dr Friend knows what she's doing for she is actually studying dentistry.
For a short while, I wondered why I didn't enroll in the school of dentistry. I would become a doctor with a speciality from the beginning of my career. I mean how hard can it be? I saw my friend, mashalla, in her blue top looking very professional. Suddenly, I heard the screaming and crying of the boy next door (or cubicle, whatever its called) . . . galby 3awarny, and I remember why I decidec not to become a dentist! I can never be a dentist. First of all, I can not stand causing pain to someone and continuing to do that while he's screaming!! I don't want to sound very compassionate or too nice, but how can I continue drilling in someones mouth while he looks at me ibkil 7iqd o karahiya?..who knows what he's thinking of doing as a revenge? Plus I'm not the kind of person who can spend her life looking into people's mouths the whole day . . and I generally don't like going to the dentist... bas chinny wayid 6abait feehum? That's just me, some people are able to be dentists and I salute them for that, really I don't hate dentists . . well, not all . .
Back to my actual story ... Tota was actaully making more noise laughing than the boy screaming with pain. The doctor in charge had to call my friend to "tell your friend not to sit with her daughter, she is making the child itidala3" . . . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . . . First of all DAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!! for god's sake how can Tota be my daughter!!! She's almost eleven and she doesn't look younger than that ... I'm 22 but look younger (supposedly)!!!! but still, of course I hate this doctor already for saying that, this means I'm at least 28!! thats to say the least, and I definately don't look 28.. PLUS Tota wasn't ga3da itidala3, she was laughing... I bet he was mi7tar cuz all his patients cry when they see him!!
bas I'm too mi7tarra to even continue the saalfa
.... there's nothing much important left except that it turns out Tota has two small sooosa's which Dr Friend has to deal with later in another appointment.

God!!! I still remember the first time I went to him so I could check my mistakes in a quiz, I had a pen in my hand which broke (min elklhar3a) while I was talkin to him!! walllllllaaa ekhare3!!! my supervisor told me that he has no problems with Dr.EVIL and he thinks he`s ok.. but asked me if i wanna change him,cuz he know taht all student hate Dr.EVIL..

I survived!

2006-01-30T23:56:00.000+03:00

I survived 2 more days of dawam!..I should probably thank those of you who da3ooly (only 2 ppl excluding me read the blog so far, I bet you've both prayed for me my dears, thank u, u know who you are). Anyways, and I was going to write all about it yesterday but it turns out the company providing my internet service was burnt up (or down?). Now its too late to say my salfa about dawam cuz its burnt too (i7targat ilsaalfa :P), too late for it.
On the other hand, let me tell you why the company burnt down?...You see jiji as you will find out thinks of herself as a 'gubbisa', and until now I have tried to convince her otherwise. Now I am the one convinced that it is true (sorry "hon"). Just the day after we start our blogspot the company burns!! what does that tell ya? Last year she planned on doing a lazec operation and just one week before her operation the machine broke. They had to schedule a new appointment after buying a new machine. Back then (being a total optimist as I usually am) I told her that this was actually her good luck since they're getting a new machine to use on her eyes....... you can figure out that I'm now doubting 'the goodness' in her luck :P...sorry again Jeejz.
I bought myself an internet card so I can use it since the company has not yet recovered from the burning. I'm also thinking of buying a new mobile phone (no relevence)? I'll have to think more about that one, or not?
.... to think? or not to think?
That is the question.

Normal Jiji day

2006-01-30T13:31:00.000+03:00

Since I had no choice but to get off my lazy behind and go to the hospital to perform my humanitarian duty, I realized its not gonna be THAT bad after all since the group I`m having rounds with are quite the fun batch if I may say.. especially elkuwaity ( if u know who I mean Nanu ;p). Well we started our first day in the hospital by running back and forth looking for our professionally LATE doctors (hathy elkuwait ow 9al 3ala ineby) bs 3ady after a whole hour of tamshe6 elmustashfa ba7than 3an doctoratna.. we eventually found her. She was an OK doctor so understanding of our situation being freshly back from our break ;p makawedat 3alena HWs.. and lil asaf she found out about my lying tendency; where I answer things wrong and I convince my colleges (and sa3at even doctors) that my answer IS the right answer ;p I dont even make any eefort trying to convince them, they just believe me (tahst why imfakra a9er wazera in the future).. Then after elhospital we had the useless lecture by the THE ONE AND ONLY Dr.Is_He_Bald_?
At night I took my lil` bro out for dinner since it was his 12th B-day (amooooot 3aleh hal ikho.. he`s the 2nd generation of me ;p)
Today our placement was to start a bit later than the day before (8.30 WOOOOOHOOOO!!!!), it was all normal until I saw some baby fluid madre secretion, anyway it was totally eeeew for me.. and those who know me; knwo how much I hate petients and how sick they make me feel (sorry bs hathy el7aqeqa) I asked the doctor to go sit and rest before I rejoined them in the rounds.. bs do people leave you alone if you were sitting in peace wearing your angelic white coat?! NO!!! they hafta come up to u and ask u all sorts of Questions like you were the big kohona of medicine!! One thing will surely put them off and will start the da3awat machine they have in their mouths (I`m not a doctor; am a trainee).. You will hear weeeh! khalas allah ywafgech ow ya7fethech ow yaster 3alaich ow entaw eelly nabeh min 3yal elkuwait let elkil nafskom... elaakh elaakh elaakh ;p Anyway.. I tried to rest for 15 mins bs 6ala3 ina feeling sick during rounds was waaaaaaaay better than having to at7amal 7annat elnass! anyway my cousin who is down with the flue for the third time in 2 months called me telling me ina she was coming to the same hospital to be checked by a doctor (chaykaw ina normal flue, bs she tends to be kinda 7anna).. the rounds were taking forever so I ditched the group for 5 minutes, went to see my cousin and rejoined them wala chena 9ar shay ;p
LONG BLOG? I know bs its comin to an end soon, dont worry ;p

The Beginning of the End

Today we started our final semester. I was so depressed at the thought of starting again that I forgot to enjoy the fact that its my final course (hopefully!). Usually people put on something new and nw3an ma yikshi'7oon on the first day....well u guessed it, not me :). I grabbed the first thing I saw in my closet, suddenly remembered I should take a pen...and some paper. I put on a sling bag to carry all the things that I realised I had to take with me. I reached the campus and forgot where I had to go so I had to call Jiji to check on that.
The only good thing about dawam is that you get to see ur friends. I saw everybody, well almost, which gave me a reason to be a happier student. Then of course all the comments have to start.."you cut your hair?".."oh, you lost weight!"..."you gained some weight my dear"..."what a lovely tan, how was Egypt?" and all the small talk we women are experts in. I got a comment which should make me happy "you lost weight"..everyone tries to get that one and I was the winner this time. Actually I've been getting that a lot lately and I'm not as happy as I should be about it because it is not totally true. I am actually back to my normal weight. I have gained about 10 kg during the summer and had to shed them off (automatically) since then. Thankfully, there is no diet.. its just my daily routine...... and probably my new rule for not eating except when I'm hungry, and when I eat I should avoid getting full ;)...(there you go, I've said my secret, even though I'm not sure I'm following it :P)
Anyways, when I returned home I was tired! I've been out for less than an hour :P . . . the thought of going back to dawam is enough to make one tired a9lan. . . hehhe, I guess today was a warm-up for tomorrow's full dawam 8-4!!!!!!!!!!! Id3ooly that I survive :s
