day 27, so tired

I am so tired of doing this BEDA thing, it's exhausting, I don't think that I'll do it ever again.

I need to start working out again, I used to work out almost everyday, but for no reason other being a lazy bum, and having the most missed up sleep schedule doesn't help either.

I was so happy when I heard that Kendra is going off air, I hate her so much, but then I found out that her Play Boy fellow Holly is taking her spot with her new show, and I was like are you fuckin kidding me.

I ran into this video on youtube and I loved it so much. chick it out.

day 26, hair cut

I need to get my ass to the barber shop and get a hair cut, it's wildly long, I like it but it requires too much attention, and I am not in the mood to spend more than 2 minutes on my hair.

Yesterday my aunt flew back to Jeddah after spending a couple of days in Riyadh on a business trip, it was such a lovely couple of days.
I love my aunt, she's like a mother figure to me, I love how independent, successful, ans strong she is.
On the first day I was trying to avid being alone with her, because I was sure she will ask about my school situation, and that is the last thing I want to talk about especially to her.

The next day on the to the airport, politely she asked me about it, and after telling her all about it, I was glad she asked, I felt kind of relieved, she took a heavy load off my chest.

day 25, street fashion

I believe that money doesn't buy style, you don't need to buy a Louis Vuitton shoes or purse to look good and stylish, not that I have any problems with LV.
That's why I love street fashion sites, it proves that you don't need to spend a fortune to look stylish

one of my favorite things to do in my spare time is to brows street fashion sites, this is a list of some of my favorites:

hope tomorrow's post will be a little better.

day 23, Confession

As long I have nothing to talk, rant, about, I'll make a serious confession.

Yes I love a good chick flick, here's a list of some of my favorite:
1- He's just not that into you: The only bad thing about this movie is the person I watched with, what a bitch!!
2- Twilight: this is one of those things that I know it's so bad but for some unknown reason I can't hate it, I love this movie, and I think Kristen Stewart has alot to do with it, I love her, I think she's one of the most beautiful girls in the world, and she's not that bad actress, wont say she is great, but at least she's not bad.
3- Notting Hill: I love me some Julia Roberts, and I think by now it's clear that I have something for the Brits, I like Hugh Grant, but I think he made the stupidest mistake in his life by cheating on Elizabeth Hurley with a prostitute!!
4- Mean Girls: I talked about my Lindsay Lohan obsession, and the movie is a good one.
5- The devil wears Prada.
6- The Proposal, Just like He's not that into you, the only bad thing about this movie is I watched with the same bitch.
I love how pretty is everything in that movie, from the clothes to the cast, and the scenery, it's just like looking at a pretty person.

Believe it or not I still haven't watched the king of all chick flicks, The note book.
I guess I am waiting for the right moment, maybe a slumber party :p
If you have a favorite chick flick please share it with us.

day 22, Iphones are cool

I just posted the post for today but for some reason it's not showing, I hate glitches.

with all due respect to BlackBerry and its users, I think Iphones are way much better.

I do have some experience with jailbreaking and unlocking them, I jailbroke one without using the home button, it doesn't work on that phone.

My friend gave me his phone to jailbreak it and unlock it, I was up all night messing around with it, and try new ways to do the task. and I am having way much fun with it, maybe a little more than what I should, I just hope I wont brick the damn thing.
Bricking an Iphone is when it becomes useless, that could happen if you did something wrong while trying to jailbreak it.

day 21, the zoo

At around 6 P.M out of boredom I decided to drive to al Tahlia street to get a cup of coffee, but holly crap I got way much more than I bargained for.

I know that things can get a bit wild there on Fridays, but today, or at least when I went there, the place was like something similar to a zoo, for a second I felt like I am on a hunting trip in Africa.

I feel sorry for every girl was there, the guys were like some kind of a hungry predator desperate for a prey, they attacked every car with a female in it, regardless of how she looked, or how old she was.
At least 50 cars were following 2 poor girls in a taxi.
Let say hypothetically that I was interested in the girls and decided to chase them, the chance of me even getting close to taxi car is very slim because there were at least 25 cars trying to get to the taxi.

I am not saying that I don't hit on girls, but not in this retarded, animalistic way.
I rather doing it in a more subtle, classy way, and I rarely hit on someone in a car.

day 20, running out of topics

it's day 20 of BEDA and I am officially running out of topics to talk about, but I am not stopping, I'll try so hard to finish BEDA, I need a self steam boost, I am that insecure :p

Today I had the most unnecessary, pointless conversation I've had in a long time.
I was at a restaurant ordering dinner for my family, and some guy cut the line "as usual" and I asked him to go back to the line, and he told me that he's in a rush and he needs his food ASAP, and I was like wow, we all need to get our food ASAP and asked him again politely to go back to the line, and he eventually did.
It seems a lot of people have problems with understanding the concept of staying in line.

I am a big fan of Colbie Caillat, I love how simple and organic her music is.
Realize is one of my favorite, it reminds of some very good times, I love a song that reminds me of a situation, whether a good or a bad one.
I am one of those people who have a soundtrack of every phase of my life.

day 19, Dreams

I had my share of strange, weird dreams, to the point where I think I can write a book talking about them.
But it freaks the crap out of me when I dream about someone I know, and a couple days ago I had a dream about an ex-GF, and that shit freaked the shit out of me to no limits.

I was up all night "as usual" and went to sleep at about 5 P.M, so I just woke up, not a good feeling at all, I just had lunch at 11 P.M.

when I was in the States I lived by my self, the thing I loved the most about living solo is how quite my house was.
One of my pet peeves is noise and loud people, and in our house there are 10 people living, we are not a loud family but naturally 10 people make noises, I am being annoyingly sensitive about it.

On Monday a Saudi student died in a fishing accident in Akron, I have a lot of friends in Akron, it was about an hour drive from where I lived, this is very sad.

day 18, New Kitchen

What a busy day it was, the very kind of busy.
The kitchen people were working all day installing it, and it's not completely finish.

It looks fine to me, but I wish if I can tare the whole thing down and design a new one.

day 17, Dear sleep, where did you go?????????

I've been awake for a very long time, I need to sleep, sometimes I feel so stupid that I can't fall a sleep that easily, how difficult it could be to lay down and close my eyes.

My A.D.D is preventing me from blogging right now, we are having people over and some times I can't multitasking.

day 16, I want a karaoke machine

I love karaoke parties, I used to go to one almost every weekend back in the States, I am not saying I am a good singer, actually I am a very bad singer but who cares.

One of my hobbies is interior designing, I am not a professional by any mean but I love reading about it, watching pictures, thinking about color combination, and new ideas for flooring materials and things like that, to the point that I have a rough image of my house that I will build one day.
I helped designing a kitchen in our house, even though I couldn't do all the ideas I had in my head, mainly because either my mom didn't like it, or time restrictions, it's not finished yet but in a couple of days I hope it will be, I might post some pics of it in here.

I am running late I need to go somewhere, beside I have nothing interesting to say, how lame.

day 15, I hate reality shows

I am half way through BEDA, that's exciting.

Today my brother was watching Keeping up with the Kardashians, and I couldn't even finish smoking my cigarette, I had to leave the room, my IQ dropped to very critical low levels by just watching about a minute of that shit.

A couple of days ago I slammed a door on my thumb, even though it got better but it still looks bad, and it hurts like a bitch. It's not a good feeling.

I miss having long conversations in English, talking in English makes me feel good, it's a weird feeling to explain, I miss the States very badly :(

I noticed that I have more to say when I am down or sad, the sadder I am the more creative I am, I heard sadness is the strongest source of creativity, not saying that I am having a blast at the moment but I am starting to get used to it.

day 14, RIP Vittorio Arrigoni

I spent all day thinking about what to write about Vittorio Arrigoni, and I still don't have much to say about this hero.

In a time when faith in people is lost, in a time when you assume the worse in people, people like Vittorio Arrigoni and Rachel Corrie give you hope in humanity.

They are people who gave their lives to humanity and fairness, they didn't have much in common with the people they fought for, but they believed in equality.

Vittorio was kidnapped and killed in Gaza.

I feel so incompetent writing about those heroes, and I am planning to write a better post once I collect my thoughts.

day 13, COFFEE

I have 10 minutes to blog before it's 12.

My day had a very rough start, woke up with a very bad headache, called the driver to get my regular large coffee from dunkin donuts but he wasn't home, and what made things even worse he took my beloved car, and when he got back I was so excited about finally having my precious cup of coffee, so I decided to take a shower, and when I got out, I found out that my father sent him to do something with my car, so it took about 4 hours till I got my cup of coffee.

day 12, Lindsay Lohan

Today I watched Mean Girls, I've always loved this movie, and I am a big fan of Lindsay, but watching it this time was a little different, considering all the problems Lindsay is having at the moment from going in and out of rehab, and allegations of stealing a bracelet, and hooking up with the ultimate douchebags, all of that made me love the movie even more, and love Lindsay even more and more.

For some unknown reason, I always find my self attracted to girls with problems, the bigger the problem the more attracted to her I would be, I had a number of relationships, and most of the girls I've been with had some kind of a problem, not saying I don't have many my self, but having the thought that I could help someone or being supportive to someone's crazy, unrealistic ambition is so motivating for me. It beings the best out of me as a human being.

day 11, Epic nap

After not having a good night sleep for several days, yesterday I had the mother of all sleeps, it was glorious.

I had dinner at sushi yoshi for the first time, what a pleasant restaurant that is. I love it.
I have noticed that there are not so many Riyadh restaurant reviews blogs out there, so I am thinking about starting one.

day 10. SUCCESS

What a great day today was, the weather was great, the job interview went perfectly, I am feeling very good about the company and the people I met there.

After the interview, I was feeling good about my self, so I did what I always do in such situations, droving my car blasting the music as loud as it goes and singing with it, I was stopping by a red light and Bon Jovi's you give love a bad name was playing and I was singing with it, and the guy next to me recognized the song and started singing with me, he made my already great day even better.

After I got home I took my sisters and cousin to the kingdom mall, did some shopping, had lunch, and while I was waiting for my food I ran into one of my best friends from college, since I came back to Saudi Arabia I didn't contact any of my old friends, and I was avoiding meeting anyone, but meet that guy was very nice.

I love being busy but I am so tired, I need one of those epic half day sleeping days.

day 9, job interview

it has been a very busy day, I love it.
I have a job interview tomorrow, I am excited about it, I love job interviews, I was told that I am good in giving a very good first impression.
today's post is going to be very short, I just remembered to blog and I have to go to the airport in 5 minutes.

I love Adele so much, her new album is amazing, just like her first one.

day 8, Youtube geek

I am so deleterious right now it feels awesome, I've been awake for a very long time, way passed the 24 hours line, my body is so tired but my mind has not been as stimulated as right now in a very long time.

I love youtube so much, I spend at least 2 hours on it everyday, and don't worry, I don't watch cute babies or cute kitten or sneezing animals, I mostly watch daily vlogs, and youtube musicians.
this morning I watched a live concert streaming on there.
today I am going to share some of my favorite daily vlogs and tomorrow I will share some of my favorite musicians.
So lets get down to business, my favorite daily vlogs are:
  • CTFxC : this is a couple that has been making daily videos for more than 2 years now. Watching this couple daily vlogs is a ritual to me, I've been watching their video for about a year now and I don't remember I skipped any day.
  • Shay Carl : Shay is considered one of the most if not the most famous daily vlogers, he's such a good father and a good husband, and even though he has 4 kids, I love that he doesn't take himself that serious.
  • Daily Grace : By far, I think she's the funniest youtuber, she never ceases to make me laugh every time I watch her.
Some of my favorite regular vlogers are:
  • Catarific : Even though she rarely says anything interesting but for some reason I love her videos, maybe because I think she's fairly beautiful :p
  • Ijustine : She's one of the most famous youtubers, and she's expanding to hosting a segment on E TV, and she appeared on an episode of Law and Order, and her apple store dances is a must to watch
  • Phillip Defranco : I love this guy's videos.
  • Vlog Brothers : they make some of the most informative, intellectual videos on youtube.
The list goes on and on...

day 7, full house.

Apparently it's spring break, I had no idea such a thing exists in Saudi Arabia, so we having some family from Jeddah staying with us. which is fun, but the thing I hate the most when family visits is trying to come up with places to show them, we all know Rio is not the most exciting city.

When I was in the States I lived in a neighborhood where hipsters are everywhere, so there are many live music shows almost everyday, many art shows and pop up stores, I really miss the vibrant art scene, I really want to go to a live music show.

Today's song is by Diane Birch, I love her voice, and she sounds better live than the record, beside I love a sad, depressing song. enjoy.

day 6, movie theaters

I've been away from the blogging thingy for a while, and now I am kind of back into it, I wonder where every one has gone??
and I am still one day behind for BEDA, I need to catch up.

I really miss going to movie theaters, I really wish one day our society will be mature enough to accept the idea of theaters.
I don't like to watch movies on cable or DVD, I think I am a little A.D.D for that.
I think I can live without TV but will not survive a day without internet, I am becoming an addict.

Speaking of movies I will list my top 5 movies in no specific order,
1- Black Swan, don't get me wrong here, I like not because of the steamy love scene between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis :p
2- The reader, as always the book is better than the movie, but the movie is still amazing.
3- Blue Valentine, don't get married before watching this movie, you'll learn a lot.
4- Barney's version
5- The devil wears Prada, this movie is like my guilty pleasure.

Today's song is by one of my favorite bands of all time, I was fortunate enough to see them live twice, they know how to put on a good show, they were amazing each time, go ahead and buy the album, I love every song on it.

day 5: too late

So I totally forgot to blog today, my brother had friends over, and with all the talking and the ganging out, I forgot to blog, I'll try to post anther post before tomorrow.

I am having a job interview someday next week, very excited about it, kind of ready to start living a some what normal live.

I believe that Saudi drivers are the most ignorant, tasteless driver on earth, something drastic should be done to change the way some of Saudi men drive.
Because most of the drivers don't stop at stop signs, there should be a speed bump in ever intersection in town, which is so annoying and stupid.
Patriotism in my opinion is not a picture of the king on the car window, it's being a respectful person and respect the law and believe that the low should be followed not for fear of punishment, but believing by following them our lives will go smoothly.

day 4: Shoot me, FML

Just received an email that just killed the very tiny hope I had, time to resolve to plan B, oh wait a second, I don't have one, fuck my life.
I heard that there's always light at end of the tunnel, but it looks like I am in a very long one, and I am not even half way through it.

Stress and depression is bringing the worst of me, I am easily irritated, I am avoiding any form of communications with any human being, including my family, smoking like chimney, not motivated to do anything.

I can't stop wondering if I made the right decisions when it comes to my future career, if I could go back in time, I think I would go a totally different road, something artistic, mostly interior designing, btw I am not gay :p, it's not like I have anything against them.

it's 11:15 PM that means I need to finish this post fast and post it before 12.

today's song is by a band called Skeye, I love the leading singer voice, it's so angelic and pure, and let's not even start talking about the guitarist, he's so freakin good.

Cover letters suck

What a slow day today was, I guess waking up at 5 P.M is to be blamed :p

I am trying to write a resume cover letter, and let tell you it's not easy at all, especially if you have no practical experience what so ever, I've been a student my inter life.

Yesterday I cheated and logged to my FaceBook for few minutes, just to check on some of my friends back in the States.
I found out a lot of my friends are not good prankers, for April fool they changed their relationship status, and I was thinking to my self, dude you need to be more original, you did the same thing last year.

Yesterday I was catching up on some of my favorite blogs, and I was reading Mochness Monster blog, and in her latest post she talked briefly about tattoos and that kind of opened a door that I've been trying to shut close for a while now.
I am OBSESSED with tattoos, I love them, and if they were not against my believes I would have so many of them, at least half a sleeve.
When I was in the States I used to take picture of inked up people "after taking their permission" so I accumulated a decent collection of tattoo pictures.

Today's song is by a very cool band called best coast, the leading singer is extremely hot.
Their album is so adorable, their songs are relatively short, but I love its summer-ish feel, it kind of make me feel I want to be in California. enjoy

Music made my day!!

Day 2 of BEDA and still going strong,
happy April everyone, I hope March was kind to you, mine was the meanest March I have ever had.
March is suppose to be my favorite month of the year, after all my birthday is in March alongside a lot of my best friends, mother's day is in March, which is one of my favorite occasions, but my March this year sucked so bad, I hope the next March will be a little more kinder and a bit more considerate.
I know I should had written this on my last post but it just felt like talking about how March sucked this year.

I kind of lost interest in Grey's Anatomy, I've been always a big fan, but I think it started to get a bit boring and predictable.
this afternoon I was bored out of my scull so I thought why not to watch Grey's latest episode, and what a pleasant surprise that was.
Easily it made it to the top of my favorite TV episodes list, it was so good I watched twice, I don't want to give any spoilers out but if you haven't watched it yet you should do ASAP.

So I've been rocking the scruffy look for a while not, haven't shaved in about a month, and I don't know how to feel about the beard, a minute I would love it, a minute later I think to my self that I need to shave it right now, but it looks like it'll go very soon.

I should start having a notepad in handy at all time, because in a minute my head would be flooded with random thoughts that I want to blog about and then when it's time to write a blog, I would start thinking about the ideas I had but mostly I will not remember most of them.

In an attempt to keep the blog more interesting, I'll be posting a song that I like, preferably by an obscure artist who's is not that main stream everyday in April.
The first song is by a British band called Mumford & Sons, their entire album is fantastic, but this song happens to be one of my favorite, enjoy

BEDA and stuff

out of boredom, I am attempting BEDA this, if you don't know what that is, it stands for Blog Every Day in April.
So here we go.
Yesterday was my younger sister's birthday, she turned 5, she's hands down the cutest 5 years old.
her gift from mom is an Ipad, even though I don't think a 5 years can comprehend how to use one, but that what she wants that's what she's getting. so my assignment for today was to buy one for her, so I went out and start looking for an Ipad, but surprisingly couldn't find one in more that 10 stores I went to.
speaking of birthdays, my birthday is on March 20 and I always end up getting shit, because mother's day is the next day, so I always ask my siblings not to get me anything but get a gift for mom. I don't mind it though mom comes first.
I am finding everyday how dependent on coffee I am, I can't start my day without a huge mug of that black liquid.
My head is bouncing with random thoughts, I guess that's good for BEDA.
Until tomorrow, be safe
