Alive?

It feels odd reading my posts from 12 years ago! I teared up while reading and listening to classic music; it's quite a mood! What was I procrastinating? My Ph.D.! I can't believe I'm doing this now! 

Should I go back to writing crappy blog posts instead of writing research papers? I'm glad my academic writing is much better than my writing here, and thank God for proofreading and Grammarly!

Lightning in the Sky of Riyadh

The previous 2 days were so rainy and stormy. Whats more unusual is the thunder storm... the noise and lightning created a scary atmosphere. So a photo geek like me.. wouldn't wanna miss such moments ^^)

Here are the shots I've taken

Earth Hour 2010 ساعة الأرض

So in the end I did participate in this event !

although I believe everyday should be an Earth day.. but to be part of something with the whole family was kinda fun, and a good lesson to my younger siblings ;)

so my friends.. I'll share some of the moments.. in case u didn't see some on my twitter account , picassa , or facebook.. I brought the stuff here for your convenience :)

My Favorite figurines (Krauser + Shinigami Ryuk) are part of Earth Hour X)

I wonder what did the rest do ?

When u suddenly realize ..."oh..I'm so miserable!"

قبل شوي أقرأ مقال وانا في قمة ال "مالي خلق" وفيني النوووم

الموضوع يتكلم عن هرمون السعادة وكيفية الحصول عليه .. "حيث انه" ما يفرز إلا بالليل عند النوم ... يعني الي ما ينام بدري .. يروح فيها

طيب مو بس كذا .. إلي لفت نظري هالجزء

الخطوات السليمة للحصول على هرمون السعادة:

1. نم مبكراً ما بين الثامنـة إلى العاشـــرة مســاءً .

2. مــــــــارس الريــاضـــــــــة بشكـــــل منتظــــــم .

3. اجعل عشائك خفيفاً مع مراعاة أن يكون باكــراً .

4. النظام والترتيب, فالحياة في بيئــة غير منظمــة

ترهق الإنسان وتجعله غير سعيد ومشتت الذهن

يعني على كذا أنا نسبة هرمون السعادة عندي 0 % !!!!!

طيب وإلي يكتئب لما ينام بدري ! وماله خلق يسوي رياضة ... ومزاجه ياكل بالليل ... ومكيف نفسه مع الحوسة !!! هذا يصير تعيس !

بجاوب نفسي ... ايه أحس بقوة تعيس ! =_=

ألحين أنا عرفت سبب جزئي من الكآبة إلي إحنا فيها ... بس هل راح أسوي خطة عكسية !

بفكر شوي وبرد بعدين إن شاء الله ....

Master’s Degree in Social Media !

Birmingham City University can solve your problems; as of next year, it’ll offer a course in social media, encompassing social networking sites as communications and marketing tools.

http://bit.ly/M62ma

As a geek that's sorta nonsense and a waste of time...since what we're looking for is more technical !

but if you’re studying communications, journalism, PR or marketing.. I believe that would be interesting ! yeah why not..it's not about FB only..it's social networks in general !

I totally like how they're innovative and creative about their courses!who wants to study boring stuff anyways!

It's Jumana's Birthday !

so today is the day the world was blessed...:)

My rockin sis wanted to celebrate my graduation and my BD on one day... she felt it's more worthy it that way.. and I do agree.. since my graduation and birthday are in the same month , which make it so special !

I'm gonna talk less and share the moments with you girls....

and here are some shots I've taken ( @ T.G.I Friday's ... they were super awesome and friendly )

I love this Robot... and it would be the awesomest gift if I could have it :(

That's all :)

Google gives Nexus Ones away at TED !!!

A quote from the main article :

" Turns out that for the 1500 or so attendees ($6000 a ticket) at TED yesterday, each and everyone of them got a Nexus One from Google. Being that most of the attendees are influential, this may be a really smart move by Google. http://tiny.cc/XI6hj "

I'm not in a position to judge google's marketing strategy ! in fact I should be learning lessons from that move !

However, I can't deny the fact that I'm a n00b , trying to understand the following :

1- If some can afford the 6000 $ ticket and attend TED , but don't own a nexus one, it means they're NOT interested ! otherwise they can easily get themselves the device !

2-giving away such a valuable thing, really degrade the value of it !

giving nexus one to youtube partners was kinda smart , since they're already loyal , and aside from the promotional part , it can be considered as a reward for their hard work , u know they're sorta one team (I know they're already getting payed !)

Now, google, why do u give away such a huge amount of ur devices for FREE and refuse (delay) to sell ur product and gain money from many customers around the world craving for you're nexus one !

I kinda took it personal , it hurts me so much that google is giving away their devices ! are they that desperate !!!!! and why don't they sell it hear in KSA instead !

Saudis LOVE gadgets, just look at the BBs and iPhones around us !

P.s. maybe I'm getting the whole thing wrong, correct me if so, please :)
