Wow.. It's been a really long time since I wrote here.
I decided I will write about my art, books I read, movies I watch. My opinions, my thoughts.

Let's give it a try

See you soon

London

Oh my God I really miss London. Can't wait to go next year.




Can't wait to go back to those hungry pigeons in the Hyde Park, and feed them. It was really fun.





Can't wait to go back to the Humming Bird cafe and eat from the best cup cake.





And can't wait to go to China town and be in the middle of the New Chinese year celebration. It was so cool with the dragon dancing between the stores and blessing them buy eating the vegetables in front of their doors.

So many great memories there. And I'm planing to go back next year to make new one.

Love you London

البحر

كم اشتقت إليك يابحر.
في الماضي كان الوصول لك سهلا فلم نشعر بغلاك
والآن بعد ان احاطت بك البنايات الشاهقة والعمارات الحديثة وسور الأغنياء البقية الباقية منك لم نعد نراك وصارت زيارتك تحتاج الى ترتيبات وحجوزات طويلة.

افتقد من عملي القديم منظر البحر الذي كنت اراه من نافذة المكتب كل يوم. حاليا اجلس في مكتب بدون نوافذ.
هل الحصول على عمل احبه في مكتب جميل ذو نافذة تطل على البحر خليطا غير موجود؟






















I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

التصوير الفوتوغرافي

منذ حملت برنامج لتصوير اللومو على جهازي الآيفون وأنا استعمله كلما أردت التصوير.
أحببت التأثير الذي يعطيه هذا البرنامج على الصور، ومنه عرفت عن كاميرا اللومو. وفكرت أن أقتني واحدة.
حتى وجدتها في متحف الفن العربي الحديث، ومعها كل ما تحتاجه الكاميرا من إضافات وأفلام للتصوير.




بدأت بتجربتها وانتهى الفيلم الأول. والآن ستبدأ رحلة البحث عن محل بحمض لي هذا الفيلم. المضحك في الأمر سابقا كان من الصعب ايجاد محل لإظهار الصور الرقمية. اما الآن فقد انعكست الآية.

حتى استطيع رؤية نتيجة التصوير، سأعرض بعض الصور التي التقطتها ببرنامج هاتفي المحمول.

أفكار ...أفكار

أفكار كثيرة تلح علي في الفترة الماضية

والفكرة الأكبر هي لماذا هجرت اللغة العربية الفصحى واتجهت للعامية؟

في الماضي كنت أتكلم الفصحى بطلاقة ولا أحتاج للتفكير في الجمل التي أريد أن أعبر فيها عن نفسي

لكن الآن أشعر إنني إذا أردت إيصال فكرة معينة بالفصحى أحتاج لوقت طويل حتى أستظيع صياغتها بالطريقة المطلوبة

لكن أعتقد أن لغتي كركوب الدراجة

لاتنسى حتى لو ركنت في الزاوية لفترة من الزمن

ما أن قررت أن أبدأ باستعمالها وجدت المفردات المحببة تعود للساني من تلقاء نفسها

والاقتباسات القديمة من الأمثال وأبيات الشعر المشهورة تزخرف الجمل وتضيف إليها

شعرت بلغتي كصديق حميم سافر ليعود بعد زمن

وكم فرحت لعودته

مادامت هذه مدونتي وأنا أدون فيها ما يجول في خاطري

فلأكتب بالفصحى

ألا يحق لي هذا؟

Room Decorating

I redecorate my room months ago, and still didn't finish.

I had a specific look in my mind, but this look really coasts money here. I was looking for a modern look in my furniture but it's really expensive here.
This look can be found here in Qatar in only two places, The One and ID Design, which I really like, but I am out of money now and still there are missing things in the room that I can't buy yet.

I am in a strict budget now, so I have to decide which is important to buy, and I am sure that a desk chair is more important that the curtains now, so I can use my computer and get back to drawing, I didn't do for a long time.





And I am planing this month to spend money really carefully, I found myself spending without controlling, and I will travel on my vacation to London and Praise so I need really tones of money to spend there.


I am planing too to travel to Japan on April next year, to catch up with the Saukra season, and of course if I am traveling I have to take someone with me, and I am sure it's gonna be my brother which I have to pay for his trip too. Still not sure if he can stay away from his family for two weeks, but I'm gonna make him. Evil me.


Still watching Gossip Girl season two and I am watching also Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which all my family is watching and I really want to know what they are talking about when they are discussing it. Still can't love the show as they do but maybe with time, I don't know.

Close-Up Commercial 2009 / Come Closer

COME CLOSER

Come closer
Come closer
Come closer to me now
Cant wait any longer
Come closer to me now

Ah hoo what you do to me X2

I can feel you in the air
When its like youre everywhere
And the world can disappear
Just as long as you are near

Your smile is my whole world
Come closer to me now
Ive waited forever
Come closer to me now

Ah hoo what you do to me X2

Now you got me in your spell
Its the best Ive ever felt
Feel you breathing in my soul
Cause I know youre heaven sent

Take all of my senses
Come closer to me now
Ive got no defenses
Come closer to me now

A hoo what you do to me X2

Scrubs

I really love this show, it's one of my favourite shows.

It was like the best until season 8 finished
But then why did they have to made season 9??



It's not Scrubs if JD isn't there people
Yeah the new characters are funny and blah blah but they are not JD

I love to see the messed up relation ship between all the characters

You could make a new show call it Med School, this can a be good idea, start a new show without destroying the old one

Well I bought any way and I'm gonna watch to the end
But if you didn't buy it yet don't bother yourself
Just stop until season 8

Ugly Betty

I am watching Ugly Betty these days, and I am feeling like it's my guilty pleasure.

Feeling a little shame telling my friend that I like this show, cuz it won't be getting to her really hard taste (which I totally like) but I can NOT watching it.

I think there is something about the colors and clothes that attract me to it, even though that I didn't like it that much when I first watched it.

I bought the whole seires from the net, and I am watching it again, and I think it's really better on DVD and on the BIG TV screen than watching it downloaded from the net on the laptop screen.

I reached the forth and the final season, and I think I will start watching Scrubs the ninth and the final season as soon as I finish this. Why most of the shows I like finished? This is sucks

Well have to go to work now, and still can't find the energy to drag myself to it.

Blogging

Didn't imagine that I'll love blogging, but since I had this app on my iPhone it really got easier and funnier.

Really love my iPhone, everything is on my fingers tip.

Picky Eater

Most of my friends say that I'm a picky eater, and sometime it's driving them crazy. One of my friends insist that I'm like kids, specially that sometime I spit the food I don't like.

Once I went with my Japanese friends to a Japanese Resturant. We wanted to try new dishes there me and my friend, so we asked the Japanese friends to order for us.
When the food arrived I start tasting it, and sitting most of it in a napkins, I couldn't stand it's taste. So when ever I tried anything new the Japanese friends stared at me and ask me "pass?". And when they see me swallow the food they smile.

Yeah, I know I'm a picky eater, but I think I'm better than lots of people I know. And in the same time I envy the people who can eat seafood, which I can't. I really tried but I couldn't stand it at all.

I heard once on TV that tasting food can be trained by tasting the same food for sometime, then you will get used to it. But I don't think this worked for me.

Until I can train myself to be a better eater, I will stay this picky person who starved most of the time for not finding suitable food for herself.

Thoughts

. Last week I had to take my cat to the vet, she was little bet sick and vomiting all over the place. She had to stay there for the night, and I went the other day to pick her up. They told me there she is OK, thank GOD.
I really missed her that day and couldn't sleep well that night without her by my side on the bed.

My friend saying this is a bad thing to attach this much to my cat, cuz we know she wont be here forever, but I can't help myself. After having her for 7 years I can't not to miss her.

. These last days I am getting depressed, and I don't know why. Well I know why but I can't talk about it. Sometimes I am having this thought, kill yourself and you will finally find the piece you were searching for all of your life.

. Yesterday I went to my friend's brother wedding party. Everything was perfect except the people there. I am wondering why this strange attitude to complete strangers you don't know. Girls here having this strange look, if they don't know you they will give you the look from up to down, still don't know why..
I know this is shallow, but when will be there the time that people stop being that shallow and stop looking at your bad brand or which shoes you are wearing today. This is stupid, grow up people..

. Today I am feeling sick and didn't go to work. I lost my passion to work, cuz I am feeling like I am a machine, they order the drawing they want and I am drawing them, without thinking at all. This made me sick of my job and I am thinking seriously of changing it. But when am I going to find a place that give me the same salary as here ??

. Getting addict to buy things through line, specially the netaporter.com, can't stop myself from checking the site everyday looking for new things to buy. My sister threading me by sending me to a rehab or cutting my credit card.

Everyone got the iPhone 4 except me, I really want it but I can't afford it now, I have other priority. If I am having it as a gift I won't mind, get the hint people. Other hint, iPad would be nice too.

The Lost Symbol

So finally I put my hands on the last novel by Dan Brawn, The Lost Symbol, but of course in Arabic.
I got this novel like month ago, but my sister start reading it so I had to wait until she finished with it.
Now I can wait to start reading it, just hope o find the time to finish it ASAP, cuz I have lots of things to do between getting ready for the exhibition I'm having in the end of this week and preparing for the new one that I'm having in the beginning of the next year, which I'm hoping it will be at the same time as the Asian Cup in Doha.
Oh, and there is also my brothers wedding, which I didn't find a dress for it yet.
Ok @_@ I think I have to start reading it now, or I'll never finish it.

Everybody is free Music Video (sunscreen)

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '97,

Wear sunscreen. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term
benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis or
reliable then my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice....now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, nevermind, you won't understand the power and
beauty of your youth until they've faded, but trust me in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of
yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous
you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future, or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra
equation by chewing bubblegum.

The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind: the kind that blindsides
you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts; don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is
long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive; forget the insults. (if you succeed in doing this, tell me how).

Keep your old love letters; throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people
I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of Calcium. Be kind to your knees -- you'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll
divorce at 40; maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself, either. Your choices are half
chance, so are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body: use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it; it's the
greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance...even if you have no where to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions (even if you don't follow them).

Do not read beauty magazines; they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents; you never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings: they're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in
the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but what a precious few should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps
and geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you
were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.

Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old; and when you
do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children
respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse,
but you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you are 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia;
dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal--wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts, and
recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me, I'm the sunscreen.

This is one of my favorite speeches
When I'm ever feeling down I listen to it

A Whole New World

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear

That now I'm in a whole
New world with you
Now I'm in a whole
New world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath, it gets better

I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back
To where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter

I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole
New world with you

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

Painting

I'm preparing right now for my second personal exception.
I choosed the theme "My Little Planet" for it.

I was always adored the little prince who lived on his little planet with his rose and three small volcanos, I always wanted to be like him, so this was my theme.





This is one of the painting, I start working on it in the Eid day, and I had the idea when I was napping that day. Me and my cousin wanted to paint something together but I ended up working on it by myself.




This is another one which I started last year and still didn't finish it. The girl's face need more work, I want to change her hair.




This one here is another version of another painting "Bubble Head", but here I added origami papers in the BG to give it more colors. I like it, but I think I should put more papers. I will put more later or maybe the next painting.

All the paintings here are in progress and I'm still working on them. Hope to finish soon.

Coloring With Copic Markers

I always wanted to try coloring with Copic Markers since I bought that tutorial book when I was in college. And at that time sure I couldn't try them, cuz I was only a student with a simple allowance that barley enough for my daily needs.

When I became a working girl ^^ I could afford them and got them with every thing else, like their special pens and papers.

I had to try them many times and read many tutorials to get them right. But they really worth every penny and second I spent on them.

They are like the greatest coloring markers ever, and I can't wait to try all the technique I read about in the tutorial book, but now I don't have the time, but sure in the future I will.

I want to make more videos like this one, so I went the other day to buy a tripod, but the one I liked was little expensive =_=

And buy checking this video you will notice that I am a lefty. I love being a left handed, but when I was a kid it brought lots of troubles in school. I don't know what is wrong with people here thinking that the only good thing is the right one @_@. So the teachers used to yell at me trying to force me to write with the right hand, saying that the devil is writing with me when I am using the left hand.

But for sure I didn't believe them, and didn't do what they asked me to. I grew up in a family half of them are left handed, my Grandma, my uncle, and half of my sisters and brothers are left handed.. what is the wrong here??

Still can't understand them =_=

The Witch and the Swan Princess

So finally I attended the play yesterday. ^^ FINALLY

After all these months and listing only to the music and seeing pictures, and order tones of stuff from the internet, finally the project came together as this huge play.

This play is the first play that use the 3D screen in the middle east and in Qatar, and I hope after this play people will think more of the theater and start respecting it more than before.

I wanted to attend the rehearsal but unfortunately I didn't have the chance, and all my friends said that I missed a lot. I felt sorry >_<>

I attended the play with my sisters and cousins and friends, we screamed, laughed and clapped for every scenic in the play. It shows Abdullah's big effort in it.

I can't describe it enough, I felt like I am watching a disney show or something.

Can't wait for the DVD, and I already bought the sound track CD.

أعلان مسرحية الساحرة والأميرة البجعة

So the AD is finally here, please people attend the play and support Abduallah in his project.
