It has been a very very long time since I blogged and I really miss it and miss all my friends and readers … I guess that when we get so busy with our work and life, we miss out on what makes us happy and things get complicated and it keep snowballing on us till we cannot change or it becomes so hard to do so …

Anyway … my long lost good friend Roba posted this great amusing article and I could not help myself

This is how I would have looked should I have lived in these decades …

Seriously; thank God the 80’s are over …

The funny thing though; I do remember the hairdo’s of the 90’s and I did look like this back then …

Too bad I don’t have a real photo of myself from that era … I bet I do; but I don’t dare admit it

This was so amusing … thank you Roba

Try for yourself … here is the link!

I could not believe it when I first read this ad, but there it was with all its glory staring me in the face …

so there you have it my friends, if you want a VAN … all you have to do is buy a TV

For those who cannot read Arabic; the ad says that you get a FAN if you buy a TV, but somehow the FAN turned into a VAN for my amusement

Enjoy!!

So today was my birthday … yeah yeah yeah … another birthday and another year has passed by and when I think about my birthday last year, it seems like a hundred years ago because so much has happened since then … but isn’t that what life is about?

This year, I spent a happier birthday than the year before and the day was full of warm wishes and nice surprises and did I tell you that I am loving this facebook? It is really cool how everyone wished me a happy birthday on my wall there and even though I could not be with all of these friends in the same location, somehow that’s exactly how it felt …

I received flowers and the family had a small party for me at the end of today … so all in all; I can safely say that today was really one of the good days, so I would like to thank all those who participated in making it a nice day after all

My sisters sent me this to my office and it was a very nice surprise … thank you girls

My nephew got me these beautiful yellow flowers … and they smell nice too

The cake

Mom got me one of her masterpiece as a gift … thank you mom; I love it

And there you have a full report … hope you enjoyed it

I guess it is no secret to everyone that I am too busy to blog and keep up with other blogs these days. I have been too darn busy ever since I started this new job, not that I am complaining because I like what I do, but I truly and utterly miss the blogosphere, and that’s why I keep coming back every now and then and I hope I will always find you there waiting for me … so please don’t give up on me just yet; there is still hope!!

Last week was a killer, with the conference and all those guests, for three days I came home around midnight and then had to be at work the next day at 8 in the morning; by the end of the week I was a wreck, but that did not stop me from sharing a lovely cookie party with my friends at Mommabeans house. That was one warm evening where we shared lots of fun, food and laughter.

The highlight of that evening was meeting teta bean, Madam Laila!
Such a warm nice lady who was extremely welcoming of all of us and said that she was a regular reader of our blogs; I had to take a picture to memorize this moment for years to come … thank you so much Madam for your kindness and follow-up to our blogs, please keep coming back!

Then we got some creativity out, but I was really too drained to do more than a couple and I learned that Jujubean enjoyed my duck and I say Sa7tein!!

Now, Valentine’s Day is around the corner and everything is already turning red … sometimes I see it as a silly occasion but other times I just feel jealous of all the love and lovers around and feel sad for being alone … eh! It is only one day in the year and it will eventually pass

Work has been really hectic and I have been running around … looking at the bright side; everything went according to the plan during the conference, my boss is happy and most importantly; the guests had a wonderful time and they all enjoyed their few days in Amman.

Internet is evolving and everyday there is some new technology or software appearing here and there. I wonder how we used to live and do things some years back; how did we manage without all this technology around us. Can we afford to choose not to enslave ourselves to this technology? Can we turn our backs and say we can do without? I wish we could be professional enough to trust people with their own time instead of regulating their days for them; this is the 21st century after all!!

Yesterday was one of the longest days I have ever had in a very long time. It started and ended without me even stopping to drink some water.

We have a conference next week and I had to prepare so many things and take care of thousands of details; and I will be alert and worried until the three days are over. So, next week will be very busy and full of events and actions especially that we have guests coming from all over the world.

Needless to say; I had to work late yesterday, but the problem is that it was my nephew’s birthday and I had to catch up with the rest of the family to celebrate with the young kid, because if I did not go and give him the present that he asked for, he will not forgive me or even talk to me especially that he asked for the gift and was waiting for it. He asked me for lots and lots of drafting paper, colors of all kinds and the alphabet in Lego style; I happily got him everything he asked for because it was something he could learn from now that he turned 6.

The family was waiting for me in the KFC on Madina street. Now if there is anything I hate; it is KFC; it is greasy and really yucky, but I was so hungry and hadn’t eaten all day. When I finally arrived there, my sister had had bought me a meal, I ate some of the fries and took some of the chicken, but I felt sick immediately and I don’t want to talk about what happened when we left the place and headed home

Any way; these are some of the photos that I took for Ahed (my nephew) in his 6th Birthday Party … Happy Birthday Sweetie

When I asked how old he was; he answered with style

Nice bike ha?

Even Mira participated in eating the cake

When I came home and checked my favorite blogs, I found this cute post on Roba’s and decided that this was a really nice way to end this long day; so here it is: me as an M&M … go get your own M&M character … yippee!!!
