Lost with movies

I have some bits and bytes to share it with you'll thanks to different sources I refer too.

Movies watched in theatres January - February 2009
  • Asif Ala Alezaaj (Arabic)
  • The Tale of Despereaux (English)
  • Seven Pounds (English)
  • Slumdog Millionaire (English)
  • Billu (Indian)

I lost interest in watching movies as I get board quickly or the events are too slow. It’s not catchy despite the script and performance is good/ outstanding. I feel I could do more things then sitting for 1hr 30mins to 3hrs 30min in front of the screen.


New Drugs
Drug addicts in Iran fiund a new drug, which is less costly comparing to opium, heroin and hashish, the new drug are Toads.

Why Toads are cheep? They say, they can raise them at home and most of the addicts are jobless.


Teddy Stoddard
Today, I found an email been dropped off by my friend titled 'Nice Story', its about Teddy Stoddard who was a troubled boy and the teacher who turned his life around and became DR. Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D.

It turned out, Teddy Stoddard or DR. Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D. is fictional character, but the story is wide-spread in different languages thanks to the internet revolution.


Train Ride
Three year old kid dorve the train for half an hour in NewYork and passed 7 stations before he was stopped.

Omani jeweller @ Alaswaq.net

Alaswaq.net part of Alarabiya.net written an interview about the creator of Deema ‘Jewels Whisper’, the Omani jeweller Shadya bint Salim al Ismailiya.


The article is in Arabic.




Brand Oman started to promote locally the 2nd Asian Beach Games, which will be held in Oman in 2010 for people to participate in the games. The games will include surfing, windsurfing, sailing, swimming, beach volleyball, beach handball, beach soccer, beach wrestling, woodball, waterpolo, triathlon, jet ski, and dragon boat racing. I just found out that Oman is part of West Asian Games Federation.

Boycotting in Discount

My some of my co-workers have boycotted Pizza Hut for Ghaza as its an Amarican franchise, but they eat from Papa John's Pizza and Domino's Pizza, that's when I got confused, they say Papa John's Pizza is an Italian franchise.

When I arrived home, I googled for all the three Pizza franchises and they are all 100% Amarican corporate . People boycott some and leave others, they don't do their homework.

Another thing, I have heared thet someone watched actress Freida Pinto, who acted in Slumdog Millionaire as Latika, that she isn't Indian, nor has anything to do with it; but it turned out that she is Indian actress and model, born and lived all her life in India.

They deserve such treatment

I never had a slitest thought I would say that, as someone had said someting to me in sercastic way, I brushed it off and continued with I was doing, I recalled the incident and I started feeling hurt, I never tried to harm them, what I did wrong to get such attidude?

I shock my head and said they desearve how certain person treats them with no respect despite been their own kids age & they don't daire correct the person or say a word.

Someone told me once, "you will see how they will turn against you, even if you were right or didn't do anything wrong", its true.

'Ana Muwaaten' is over

Some of AGCC has pumped their own cetizens to the extreem that they are nationals 'Ana Muwaaten', and they are privilaged and above all, as a result some of them not all became too boosted and managed to treate their naibours like trash.

but year 2009, the tables has turned against them. With the financial crises, UAE, KUWAIT & BAHRAIN nationals been kicked off from work because of that. Some UAE nationals been informed by ahmmm a BRITISH national, which made the situation even worst.

All I can say, the AGCC is becoming western Countries.

A stranger's smile

Just few mins ago, while I am waiting for my sibling to get off from work, one of the ladies who works at her organization was headed towords her car at the parking lot.

While I was twitting, I looked up and so her walking passed my car, she looked at me with a smile, I smiled back as I always do. She did an unusual gesture, she waved at me, and I waved back. I founded strange because we don't know each other at all plus she comes from one of the well known busniess houses in Oman. I know some of them who are down to earth people and some who are snobish, because they are their parents are so and so. I just found it nice from her.

In 2008 two channels from Fox group Fox TV & Fox Series been introduced, allot of entertainment. The reason is to entertain people & keep their mind off Ghaza, Iraq, Iran, Afighanistan and Pakestan. It is to keep them off war.

Hello

It has been awhile I haven't posted, the major reason I crashed my sister's baby laptop (hard disk), and too lazy to use my mobile as a mean of post.

I became Google reader addict, I understood why people stopped visiting their own blogs to read comments. It made my life more simple to read blogs and favorate news.
