Why me?

Why is it when you want something so bad, you only end up getting the opposite of what you wished for?

Why???????

To parquet or not to parquet...

That is the question being posed in our household today... I have to make the decision today. That's my deadline. I was thinking of mixing ceramic and parquet but that idea didn't last long! But today the guys in our new house are finalizing the flooring downstairs and they need guidance! I can't keep stalling anymore...







Anyone with parquet experience in Bahrain ... please help...



Some people tell me the weather in Bahrain isn't supportive of a parquet floor, its too humid, while others say its much better than cermaic or porcelain flooring, its healthier for the feet (huh?) or something along those lines...

What would you vote for?

Parquet or no Parquet?






Peace,

On L.I.F.E. and a key...


2008 will be the year I turn 30!!!

Where have all the years gone?

I don't feel 30, but I appreciate the little bit of confidence that age gives you.

I'm worried about the future...

The Future...
What will it be like?
What should I do?
How should I do it?
So many questions...
So little answers...
Wish I was a little girl again... I could just run to my mother's lap and hide...
She knows what to do...
I can just go to sleep...
But I'm the mother now...
I should know it all...
Life...
Life...

I love it...

Sword-wealding Head of State

On an official visit to Bahrain, President Bush honored us with his presence and asked us "to lend a hand of peace" to Israel. Awwwwwhh, the poor threatened Israelis, who so badly need our help. They are so frightened from the God-awful naughty naughty Palestinians who keep tossing fire-crackers at their parties and ruining the party mood.

Sorry Mr. President. You've got it all wrong...
You hold the sword so well. You definitely know how to wage a war or two, or three...

Let me remind you that Palestinians have been in diaspora for 60 odd years. They have been stateless across the globe and live in tents in the Occupied Land while the Israelis continue to expand their settlements on stolen lands...

Dear Mr. President,

How would you feel if you had to live in a tent all your life, rummage thru the rubble of your home, watch strangers confiscate your property, and kill you son or daughter for suspecting them of supporting their freedom movements?
Wake up and smell the Palestinian +Iraqi blood spilling everywhere, or is it only OIL up your nostrils?
(Operation Iraqi Liberation = OIL)
