Happy Thoughts

My baby sis had a baby girl :)

She was born premature, 7.5 months into the pregnancy. Due to some complications they had to get the baby out. Al-Hamdellah everything turned out well. “حكمة الله بكل شئ”

My sister is such a brave woman. Especially the last two years, she’s been through a lot. There were moments, that I wanted her to scream out and cry, just to let out the frustration, but she didn’t. She held herself together in such an amazing poise, that I know many people in her age wouldn’t!

This little lovable creature is in our house now, she is so adorable and small. Her head is smaller than the palm of my hand. The diaper looks like it’s wearing her and not the other way around!

The most important thing, is that both the mother and daughter are fine. And that of course makes the  now double aunt happy :D

This baby is going to be showered and suffocated with love and affection :* She already has us all wrapped around her tiny little fingers.

I had a hard time getting used to the idea that my sister is married, and that’s nearly three years ago! And now’s she’s a mommy ;P When she tells her daughter “ها يما” I’m like “yeah she really did have a baby”.

I guess the feeling will sink in, when both my neices grow up and start talking and calling my big bro and lil sis daddy and mommy!! :D

Just A Story

Once upon a time, an employee left her old company for a new one, regardless of the reasons why. The old company decided they want her back and make an offer. If you were to imagine the offer, assuming she left because of the money and the promising career opportunity, what would the offer be??

Come back with your current position and salary!!!

Assuming that this employee still has her job, why would she go back?? Given the fact they called her through her supervisor and not the manager!

Wouldn’t that employee feel insulted??

What about the hired employee who’s been working there for over a year as a replacement for her!

She couldn’t ask for better team mates, she asked her supervisor, she would come back if  they told her to do so, because she owed them that much. That’s the only reason.

She had to ask, do you absolutely need me back in the team, she asked for their honest opinion.

Her supervisor advised her not to but had to ask her for her answer.

Her answer was: NO

Good Employee

I guess with the new year, comes the reflecting of the past.

I lined up some new year resolutions in hopes for me to follow them.

Looking back at me as an employee …

You know I am a damn good one and you know why … I don’t make a big fuss …

Show up … do my job … go home … that’s it …

I have a personal problem, all I do, is sit on my desk with my grumpy face minding my own business till the working hours are over … don’t bother anyone with my issues …

Working hours, come in and leave, rarely do I come in late!

Sick leaves, in my working history, four years, only took one and that’s because I couldn’t get up…

I get along with my team mates …

I don’t spend time socializing, true I’m totally retard in that issue, still … don’t see me here and there .. roaming around … you want something from me, you’ll find me at my desk … or the computer room ;P

And all that comes natural … because I don’t know anything else …

It’s like seeing someone always eating chicken … why not meat .. because they haven’t tried it … yet …

In my yearly appraisals, I’m reasonable, take a look and then sign. If I get to go on a course, I go, if not, then khalas …

Don’t make big fuss or issues …

I want to try something different this year …

I’m not saying I’m not going to do my job, I just do not want to jump overboard … extend myself …

I want to take a day off or come in late or leave early at least once a month :)

When I have nothing to do, that’s exactly what I’m going to do nothing, no need to try out new solutions …

Who said resolutions have to be about making things better, well I can think of it this way … this year, I need to loosen up more …

So how to be a bad better employee ideas are welcome :)

Because by now, I think it’s pretty clear what gets you up the corporate ladder … and remind me again, why I want to do that!

In a single day, many things happen, the good and the bad …

To me the bad always seems to stick around longer!

It isn’t hard for someone to be rude! Do people think that being insensitive is somehow an achievement or strength??

Why not try the other way around and see how they hold themselves together??

I truly believe one of the hardest things, is “كظم الغيظ“, when every part of your body starts shaking and your cheeks are burning hot … somehow you manage to be the bigger person, and the other one, well trots about oh so mighty like they won a battle, justifying the behaviour to themselves … let them be, because Allah never lets a good deed pass by :)

Before I lay my head on the pillow tonight … I remember the good things …

I had the chance to do something mean, but I didn’t … though I wanted to …

And finally … totally kicked ass in tomb raider, three hours of playing after so long :D Loving every bit of it so far, at the edge of the boat … last save … preparing to knock off some bad guys ;)

My plans till the end of this week, include, continuing doing the minimal.

Something I have to do, I will postpone …

Something I must do, I will think about doing it ;P

Yeah all part of my life changing decisions, me first ;)

Sad Auntie

sad-statue2

My niece does not like me! I want to cry :(

I went to visit them at home … my brother handed her to me and I was excited … I’ve only seen her through glass windows and mobile pictures … I carried her twice and she cried both times -I’m tearing up-

wAllah she made me think something is wrong with me, like I’m possessed, do babies sense these things! I felt I had demons surrounding me and that scared her :(

I was going to cry … why doesn’t she like me … once someone else takes her, she quietens up!!

All my dreams of being the most favourite aunt in the whole wide world shattered into tiny pieces along with her screams and tears

I hate crying and people seeing me doing that, but I was going to break into tears … I just looked at my brother and said .. she’s about to cry .. she’s crying .. Oh GOD … what happened … why doesn’t she like .. boohooing my eyes out

Why did I think she’ll love me on the spot … that she’ll sense me … ohhhh, I’m sad …

I’ll let it cool off a couple of days and then try again, until then I’ll be shedding some tears, why am I being so GOD damn sensitive … is this what they call maternity feelings … argh … I just wanted her to smile and laugh for me …

I’m a sad auntie … maybe whatever magic you need to be around kids I don’t have it .. I spent it all on my brothers .. shit …

This auntie is sad … this auntie is listening to all Whitney’s bodyguard movie songs and tearing up … this auntie is going to sleep now because she needs to be early at work tomorrow …

why oh why ….

previously favourite aunt in the WWW wannabe :(

My Big Bro

My big brother and I were close since we were kids. I can tell tales of our mishaps and sneak outs. I know I always complain about them, but I love them so much. I can’t begin to imagine life without them. My big brother is a different kind of man, he has so many qualities that I hope whom ever I end up with has.

No matter how much I want to talk about him, I’d never do him justice.

When I have my crazy moments and get angry for no reason, he just stares at me. He has nothing to prove, because he’s sure of who he is. He does what he believes is right, even if all people around him think otherwise.

He’s so forgiving unlike me, I wish I had this in me. He doesn’t hold grudges, even if he wanted to. I wish I was like him. Life is easy around him.

He’s unpredictable, like the time I was walking in the exhibition and someone sneaks upon me scaring the shit out of me and there he was laughing, he spotted me from a distance and decided to give me a heart attack! and go on his way.

Now he’s a daddy and I know he’ll be a great one, because if he ain’t I’ll be there to smack him on the head and put him right back on track ;P

I have the greatest brother of them all!! My brother, my big brother…

I have a great brother who is different than most brothers…

I have a great brother because he makes me laugh when nobody can…

I have a great brother whose heart is so much bigger than mine…

I have a great brother that does not get upset nor mad easily…

I have a great brother that makes me cry tears of joy in spite the distance between us…

I have a great brother that has so many qualities that I wish were in me…

I have a great brother that I can never disappoint…

I have a great brother that all the girls wish they have…

I have a great brother that I can fight with then make up and totally forget the cause of our fight…

I have a great brother that I can say anything to…

I have a great brother that appreciates me as I am…

I have a great brother who will be there for me when I truly need him and could not do it on my own…

I have a great brother who tells the truth even if you do not want to hear it, he tells it because he wishes the best for me…

Me, his younger sister…

Me, who is realizing that there is no such thing as perfect, but people and things can be so close to perfection, if one learns how to look at and focus on the bright side, the good side…

I couldn’t ask for a greater big brother, I can but I wouldn’t ;P

I love you man

big-bro-and-me

That’s us in the cinema LOL, he wanted to sit near this wall so he can lift his legs. I wish I can say mine are the hairy ones on the right, but yeah, the mis-match brown trainings, blue socks and beige shoes … aha that’s me :D

Monsieur, you continue to amaze me … LOVE YA :*

Daring Thoughts

Have you ever made a deal and didn’t keep your end of the bargain?

Well what can one do in such situation …

I didn’t think you’ll be able to go through it, because you and I are so much alike ;)

Dare I say I felt safe in making that deal ;P

How much time has passed ever since

So much energy and life, I wish I can let my guard down a bit and be more free and trusting

I wish I can be you for a day

I’ll take the tiny steps and see where it leads me and I mean tiny little ones

One day, we’ll look back, laugh and applaud ourselves  … LOL aren’t we doing that already ;D

Happy Thoughts

My big brother and his wife welcomed a beautiful little angel. A girl. A perfect little sweet adorable amazing wrapped in pink cute girl.

I didn’t get to hold her, because they took her back to the nursery but we managed to see her through the glass windows.

She’s beautiful …

When  I looked at her, I was wowed, I kept thinking she’s coming home. We’re going to have an extra person in the house, running around, crying and laughing. Ohhhh, I’m going to spoil this kid senseless :D

My brother says, you’re going to love my kids, you’re not going to have enough of them

And I stubbornly say, keep dreaming

But he’s right, this kid already has me wrapped around her little finger

My brother is happy and his wife too, we all are :D

To having the first grandchild in our family, I’m loving it …

I’m an AUNT now, I feel a bit more wiser ;P
