With the increase the price of the soft drinks in all the petrol stations in Oman by 25% made me stop buying and swich to packet drinks.

Here is a call out from other sources about it:

The Muscatis: 25% increase in price of soft drinks

While I was away..

While I was away from the my journal, allot of things been happening around me, ups and downs and I'm still on the move of as the boat hasn’t settled to the shown that seem far away from the reality.

Someone said a phrase one day which I realized it's true:

Never Judge a Book by its Cover


The worst when you really think that the person is really good all this years and suddenly changes its characters and thinks that you don't know, I just sit at the Conner and observe the person and I don't comment, got the shock of my life when I found out that the person is deceiving everyone and think that no one will found out the truth.

I care about neither people who care about me, but never deceive me or the people I love.

The truth is out their and people just provide me the evidences and proofs of my doubts and I never thought to doubt about that person all my life.

One more advice I want to share with you’ll from my heart:

What ever happens in life that never goes as per our plans may be the best for us. We think/thought it is/was the end of our happiness but the truth is that it was the end of our miseries & beginning of a new chapter of peace and happiness in our lives.

To be 10 again!

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife turning back and forth, looking at herself in the mirror.

Since her birthday was not far off, he asked what she'd like to have for her Birthday. I'd like to be 10 again, she replied, still looking in the mirror.

On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to a theme park. What a day ! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster everything there was.

Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favourite sweets, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure!

Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, Well Dear, what was it like being 10 again??

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. I meant my Dress Size, you idiot!!

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is going to get it wrong.
SEND THIS TO WOMEN WHO NEED A LAUGH AND TO MEN YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT

A Life Perspective

If God was to grant you 70 years of your life...

You would spend:
24 years sleeping
14 years working
8 years in amusement
6 years at the dinner table
5 years in transportation
4 years in conversation
3 years in education
3 years reading
3 years watching television

If you prayed 5 Times every day, you would be giving God 5 months of your life.
Can't we give 5 months out of 70 years?
Let's all give God a minimum of 5 months of our lives

She comes to the phone after many rings, and the irritated husband says, "What took you so long to answer the phone?"

Marriage-(Part V)

The Silent Treatment A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper:
"Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said: "It is 5:00 AM.......wake up."

(Men are not equipped for these kind of contests. God may have created man before woman, but women think that there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.) :-)

Strange letter

There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job it was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God. He thought he should open it to see what it was about.

The letter read:

Dear God,

I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100.00 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension check. Next Sunday is Christmas and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?

Sincerely,
Edna



The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and ca! me up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.

Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter came from the old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened.
It read:

Dear God,

How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me?

Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift.



By the way, there was $4.00 missing.






I think it must have been those thieving bastards at the Post Office.

Facts: 7-Eleven

7-Eleven was the first convenience store to have television
advertising. The animated commercial ran in 1949 and had a
singing rooster and owl.


Hours of Operation

Way back in 1927, an employee of the Southland Ice Company
in Dallas, Texas, starting selling such grocery items as
eggs, milk and bread, from the company’s ice dock. In less
time than it takes to say 7-11, the convenience store was
born, and named for the hours it was open: 7a.m. to 11p.m.
When its "convenience" was noted, the idea took off and
competitors sprung up by the dozens. But 7-11 forged on,
extending their actual hours to 24 a day, but keeping the
original name.

They were the first outlet of their kind to operate around
the clock, sell fresh coffee in disposable cups, provide
self-serve soda bars, offer all major brands of soft drinks,
and serve extra large drinks. To promote all this, they also
became the first convenience store to advertise, producing
an ad for television in 1949 that featured an animated
rooster and crow, symbolic of when they were open.

Their 5800 stores in the U.S. and Canada, and a total of
25,000 worldwide, make them the largest retail convenience
stores in the world.

Out of all American retailers, 7-11 sells more cold beer,
cold bottles of water, cold Gatorade, fresh-grilled hot
dogs, single servings of chips, Sports Illustrated
magazines, USA Today newspapers and money orders.

The most Slurpees are downed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
(a notoriously cold place in winter) and Detroit, Michigan
(almost as cold); coffee is chugged down in record gallons
in Long Island, N.Y; Big Gulps disappear by the gallon in
Las Vegas and Utah; hot dogs are scarfed more in Washington,
D.C. than anywhere else, and nachos are the nosh of choice
in Colorado.

20-something

Being Twenty-something - they call it the "Quarter-life Crisis. It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realising that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like.

You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. You start realising that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognise is that they are realising that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job ... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't.

One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realise that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot don't seem as fun.

You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realise is that everyone reading this relates to it.

We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

Pass this to your twenty-something friends... maybe it will help someone feel like they aren't alone in their state of confusion...

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

It's really amazing when two strangers become the best of friends, but it is really sad when the best of friends become two strangers.
