A paperless world !

How come you write down the whole thing on a paper and retype it on the computer again,are you serious !

That question made me think of a paperless world on the future. This is horrible I can’t imagine my life with no papers,no pens,no printers and no more books. Definitely it is going to be a scary movie to me!

The thing is I was writing down some important points to help me in concluding my proposal and my friend was surprised why I’m not using Microsoft Office Word. But I have problems concentrating on online materials. It is impossible to me to do any editing unless I write the things on a paper and start adding or crossing information. I love drawing arrows to the top of the paper and copmlete the missing points, using the paper margins to link my ideas and more importantly to make some sketches whenever I feel that my mind has stuck.

I hate e-books. I can’t stand them. I prefer buying a printed copy whatever it costs rather than spending my time in front of the screen blinking my eyes and looking so exhausted and lifeless.I only read some articles or some of your posts and thats pretty enough for me to endure.

Last Monday I went to see Dr. Eyad and he shocked me by the fact that my eyes are so sensitive to the white color. Now I have to reduce the time I spend on doing researches or reading blogs with white backgrounds. I have to start printing my lecture notes on colored papers because reading anything written on white backgrounds could cause me headache and dry eyes. This only happens with the pure white. Thanks God ,all the novels I have are not so pure. There are slightly beige. This is so hard.White is everywhere. I don’t know how I’m going to focus on the white board at college. How I’m going to read those lines before they ovelap and I have to blink twice to read them again.

what I’m going to do is :

- Using the eye drops to help prevent dry eyes.

- Make anti-reflection eye glases

- Avoid white things as much as I can

Hopefully I’ll be feeling better one day…

what’s on

December 9th, 2009

Oh well Iam blogging again. It was a tough week and I’ve the worst mid exams schedule ever.And the next week would be worse for sure, 3 exams down and 4 to go. Iam up to my ears in work  :S

Today  picks from my life channel lol

- I’ve submitted one of my boring researches about plgiarism and copyrights and the next week I’ve to finish my proposal about the best books and journals cataloging system for my college. What pisses me off  is that I’m taking LIS as a general course of one hour credit and she’s making it a big deal. 50%  on the proposal! We don’t even have a book for this course. She enters the room,starts talking about herself as a super dr. and repeat this stupid phrase shhh children,then she leaves the room smiling.

-Teacher’s pets..whay don’t you grow up please ! you are so pethtic!.. I can’t bear the way you act all the day in each and every lecture. What I hate so much are those people who change their attitudes,decision to agree with a Dr.Those who curse their Drs and smile in front of them.Those who compliment a Dr’s hair,makeup,or whatever.Those who pull a chair for a Dr or holding a Dr’s files and books while s/he  holding nothing. And the poor student is so happy..Ugh stupid..

-  Everyday I  spend about 8  and half  hours at college. And when I come back home I don’t talk to anyone. I just head to my bedroom and take a nap before I wake up again and start studying ,working on my researches and assignments. I enjoy my time when everyone  goes to sleep. I don’t know why I’m being such a lonely person these days  but being with them after a long tiring day makes me so tense. My sisters sometimes don’t know when to criticise or blame me. They make things difficult, if not unbearable. A linguistics book,cup of lattee and internet at midnight are perfectly making my day.

- Why does a mosquito  bite my  foot not brother’s foot! It is so itchy and I can’t rub it in public places ..Ouch !

-My dearest brother came back home and he’s going to spend two months with us before leaving to New Zealand.But he wants to change everything in the house. He doesn’t like me staying up late out with friends,doesn’t like the way I’m dressing up. He wants me to be as he wants. This is what I hate about some brothers. They think they have the right to control you life  :side:

-I’ll disappear now till the end of  the next weekend. I have many things to do  :wave:

P.S: I dedicate this post to Anoud because…………………… :coolwink:

Pray for my uncle

November 18th, 2009

Mom has  just travelled to see my youngest uncle. It seems that these are his last days. He’s been sick for a long time. We had a strong feeling that he’s suffering from leukemia but doctors said that this is just 1% pssoible. We doubt them because here in Saudi Arabia they never ever tell the truth about these cases. They always avoid telling the truth. I want to know why did they lie to us? I mean, we all want to see uncle Khaled but Mom is the only one who could find a seat on the flight today. If they told the truth from beginning, we might have the chance to travel and spend Eid with him.

The two past weeks,they were giving him red blood cells but unfortunately,there was no repsonse. They also tried bone marrow transplantation but It didn’t match. This is so sad to see someone you love is dying and you’re so helpless. I keep thinking of his oldest and only son,Ahmad (who’s only 9 years old) and his little 4 daughters, Sara,Raghad,Noreen and Anwar . Loosing their father at this early stage of their life is something so hard(allahom la e3tra’9). I can’t imagine my life without the funniest and the kind man in the family. He used to embarrass me and I just laugh. He used to hug me while we’re sitting together and telling others how seeing me made his day.

The last time I met my uncle was in August in a resort and he was showing me all the weird round things on the surface of his skin because of leukemia. Everyone meets him, loves him from the first sight. When he sees the whole family sitting together on a big feast. He cries out of happiness. I took a picture for him 5 months ago when he was looking at my Mom (his oldest sis) and listening to her while she was talking about their early life before they all get married and suddenly he kissed her forehead and cried. That was an amazing shoot for the best uncle I have.

Please pray for him :(

Childish behaviour

November 15th, 2009

Me, standing in peace in the corridor when Ms….. came and talked to me and one of my friends(friend1). Another friend joined us(fieind2).

Friend2: Ms…… I’ve something  to tell you about khulood

Ms……: Well  :!:

Me: smiling

Freind2: Hummm I’ll not say

Me: Come on say whatever you want. I want to know too

Ms….:  :!:

Me:  waiting her to say something

Friend2: You know before Khulood and (friend1) became close friends, I was (friend1) bestfriend.

Me:  :O

Friend2: She’s not her bestfriend I know that I’m (friend1) bestfriend.

Friend1 wasn’t there when friend2 start acting like a child. Thoug , she’s not (friend1) bestfriend at all.

Ms….: Khulood is one of my best students,my best friend and the sweetest girl I’ve ever known

Me:  :$ :$ :$

Friend2: I’m sweeter than her  ×.×

Ms….: humm well she’s the sweetest girl I’ve ever known

Me: again  :$ :$

Friend2: :@ why ?

Becuase she’s that brown silky loose hair. I can make it like her. Or because of  the hot pink lipstick she’s wearing. I also can do the same.

Me: :O :blank: :side:

Ms….: No No its not like this you’re so special and you do know that ;)

Friend2: ok Ms…. Khulood has a lecture now let her go

Ms…: Ok my dear khulood see you later I don’t want you to be marked absent

Me: Ok i’ll go and see you some other time

This is stupid. Really stupied. How come she dare to say that !

Does she hate me this much or so jealous of me !

First of all I’ve  known (friend1) since the first day she came to our college. Second, me and (friend1) spend too much time together because we both junior students not senior as (friend2). Moreover,me and (friend1) talk alot on the phone,meet at weekends and have alot of secrets.

I didn’t like the way she linked Ms… opinion about me,being the sweetest girl with my appearance !  For godness sake ! she’s a MOTHER for 3 kids  :O can’t she think and act her age !

I used to sit and talk to her as a friend. I do respect her and ask about her pregnancy. How strange it is to be acting like that at this age and status !

I just laugh everytime I remember her face expressions while comparing herself with me. Seriously I’m not that much pretty to be arrogant or something like that. I’m so shy and quiet girl…

I’m so thankful that I’m acting my age or sometimes more than my age but not less as some people do  :angel:

Hopefully, she don’t come across my blog and read this post. Definitely,she’ll kill me lol

Get married

When are you going to get married?

Everytime I meet one of  my friends ,who got married at the age of  17, she asks me this stupid question. First of all,If I am going to get married I’ll let her know. Secondly,this is not  a question to ask to one of  your bestfriends. Besides, didn’t she get bored of me smiling at her face and saying no. Come on I’m just 21 !. If its said once or twice I might consider it a slip of a tounge,but repeating it as many as we meet this is what I can’t understand. Usually, we meet at weekends and this question have to be asked every weekend. Oh God I feel that I’m gonna answer her next time right after I opened the door for her. Instead of saying”Hi” I would say”No I didn’t“   :silly:

Some people throw silly questions at your face and they don’t think of the impact of those questions on you. I’m not only talking about marriage issue but many other things. People have  to be a bit sensitive to others. They have to choose the suitable words,question in a suitable time and for suitable people. I know that some of them do it intentionally and some of them unintentionally. For both cases, It still  humiliating and so embarrassing sometimes.

P.SBe careful of what you about say and the way you say it    :شقلبه:

I made vow to myself  that I won’t bother myself  with anyone starting from today. People are being so selfish and me, caring about them is ridiculous. Nothing stays forever,even our close friends change over the time. I only miss one and believe in one as my soul mate. Ignorance these days is the best solution to get rid of stresses in your life.  Having a cup of green tea,listening to classic music and reading a novel in my bedroom alone make my day. Well let’s forget about friends for a while  :ahh:

I have just come back from Jeddah. I spent a lovely time there and a horrible one in the plane. A philipino guy first hit my head with his jacket accidentaly. Then he placed his foot on my Abaya and I was about to fall on my face. :o mg:  that would be insulting hehehehe. Anyway, there was that Saudi guy who starts laughing at that time. I wanted to ask him what’s funny in that but I ignored him at the end.

I can’t write more I’m really tired and didn’t sleep well for the couple past days.. G’night  :love:

   It’s been long time since I wrote sth here. Well nothing interesting at all. I’m being such a busy head. Long days of studying. Alot of work to do. Many complicated theories to understand and various info to memorize. I’m taking 7 courses this semester. Some of them good and some are really baaaaaaad.
Applied Linguistics - Amazing. I <3 it
Sociolinguitsics – Not bad
Psycholinguistics – Interesting
Semantics – I’m in love with it :inlove:
English Language History – Booooooring
Work Ethic in Islam – uh uh uh what a boring and difficult course
Library Science Information – hehehehe i’m in trouble when it comes to LIS projects   :S
Not to mention all the quizzes and assignments we’re having   ×.×

 But I’d to set  a strict schedule,so one of my friends decided to make one for both of us. It goes like this:
waking up at 5:30 a.m
heading to college at 7:30 a.m
back home at 4:30 p.m
going for a walk at 5:00 p.m till 6:00 p.m
from 6:00 to 7:00 having a shower and praying
studying till 9:00 p.m
surving the internet till 10:30 p.m
Going to bed after a little of reading a novel or any book
and good night my long tiring day :silly:

   I feel I’m not myself anymore. Always thinking about college and exams. No fun in my life. No gatherings till midnight anymore. No more dancing or gossiping. uh I really miss myself. I want to find the true me. The girl who used to dance all the day and meet her friends more than twice a week. I know It’ll be a tough year but I’m hoping for the best..

  I’m thinking of getting either ipod touch or a new laptop these days but still can’t make up my mind  :!:

yaaaay :D

hello everybody

How r u and how’s everything going ?

After one month of hard working on my bedroom finally I’m done with it. The best part of this work is that I made everything myself. Painting the walls was so fun and uh putting my fingers deep down the paint  pail was such a delicious feeling. Here is my bedroom pictures..

Back Home

September 27th, 2009

tea-gsh2

Eid wasn’t what I expected. Some family problems ruined my holiday and I’d spent time outside home alone and aimlessly coz it’s my holiday and I wanna live in peace. And since our driver has travelled for vacation,I got some problems with my uncle’s wife. She’sss uh I don’t know what to say about her she’s so mean just like her daughter. I don’t know what’s wrong with her. She gets nervous everytime I wanna go out with their driver-eventhough it’s our car and our petrol- but still she copmlains and makes problems. The 2nd day of eid i was sleeping and when I woke up I found all my sisters went out for shopping. I asked Baba to go out  and he told me to get dressed and go with my uncle’s driver-and again with Baba’s car- when I came down stairs she yelled at Mama and Baba. Mama came running and she told them how could they allow me to go out like this-she means my Hijab- and continued nagging . This sin’t funny seriously when do people stop keeping their noses in my own life,especially my uncle’s wife, It’s unbearable they’ve to stop judging and lying.

Anyway I’m back home after that horrible holiday and enjoying my time. As one of my friends told me: Nothing like home-and yeah she’s right..  :silly:

I’ve  promised  earlier to post my bedroom pics-the one I made myself- but there’s sth I couldn’t find. I need a plain orange duvet. I checked most of the stores in Jeddah and found nothing. All what I found is floral or striped but this didn’t suit my bedroom..  :S

The picture above is for my green tea from Tee Gcshwender. I spent more than one hour thinking what flavors should I try. I bought two for diet and the other two one mixed with dried fruit and the other with ginger..
