No cost cutting

As H1N1 virus has hit the world, Oman Govt instructed all ministries and businesses should have anti-septic installed for its customers and employees to use it to boraden the awareness and importence to reduce the spreading of H1N1 virus.

As the global crises hit the world and global cost cutting been happening, with H1N1 protection, no more cost cutting, more expence then ever.

No respect

Every time I try to give respect to men in my country, but I get desapointed by some men (not all)with the way they treat women as if they are no value.

When ever I go to buy boxes of packed water, men pass by without a curtasy of seening a woman struggling to pick up half her waight. Only the employees offer help. Its not menly for them to offer help, but it menly for them when women beg for their help. I belive looks plays a big role, pitite women don't need help from matcho or skinny men, women with long hight, skinny figure and fair skins like milky, walk like ghazals need automatic help.

The worst incident, when I visited an embassy, three men were sitting on two three-seated sofa didn't even care to get up and squize their bodies into one sofa and to let me sit on the other one, but insted they pretended as if I didn't even exists in the room, but they stair at me when ever my eyes falls on my phone screen.

Reaching to the peak

After months of struggle, I am reaching to the peak, I want to shout to the top of my voice, but I am scared for the craw to hear the joy of happiness and fly away to its master who sent it to spy on his behalf.

The master's vains will pop out from the news, as he expects me to struggle until death. he started shout like mad, and mumbles with words that may puzzle others, trying to act crazy so everyone fears him, until when they'll fear a monster.

Oh my load, protect your belivers and cast away the disbelivers to a land with no mercy nor peace.

Principles for Peace of Mind!!

1. Do Not Interfere In Others' Business Unless Asked

Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs. We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction. This thinking denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God. The Almighty has created each one of us in a unique way. No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way. All men or women act the way they do because God within them prompts them that way. Mind your own business and you will keep your peace.

2. Forgive and Forget

This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind. We often develop ill feelings inside our heart for the person who insults us or harms us. We nurture grievances. This in turn results in loss of sleep, development of stomach ulcers, and high blood pressure. This insult or injury was done once, but nourishing of grievance goes on forever by constantly remembering it. Get over this bad habit. Life is too short to waste in such trifles. Forgive, Forget, and march on. Love flourishes in giving and forgiving.

3. Do Not Crave For Recognition

This world is full of selfish people. They seldom praise anybody without selfish motives. They may praise you today because you are in power, but no sooner than you are powerless; they will forget your achievement and will start finding faults in you. Why do you wish to kill yourself in striving for their recognition? Their recognition is not worth the aggravation. Do your duties ethically and sincerely.

4. Do Not Be Jealous

We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind. You know that you work harder than your colleagues in the office, but sometimes they get promotions; you do not. You started a business several years ago, but you are not as successful as your neighbour whose business is only one year old. There are several examples like these in everyday life. Should you be jealous? No. Remember everybody's life is shaped by his /her destiny, which has now become his/her, reality. If you are destined to be rich, nothing in the world can stop you. If you are not so destined, no one can help you either. Nothing will be gained by blaming others for your misfortune. Jealousy will not get you anywhere; it will only take away your peace of mind.

5. Change Yourself According To The Environment

If you try to change the environment single-handedly, the chances are you will fail. Instead, change yourself to suit your environment. As you do this, even the environment, which has been unfriendly to you, will mysteriously change and seem congenial and harmonious.

6. Endure What Cannot Be Cured

This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations, and accidents that are beyond our control. If we cannot control them or change them, we must learn to put up with these things. We must learn to endure them cheerfully. Believe in yourself and you will gain in terms of patience, inner strength and will power.

7. Do Not Bite Off More Than You Can Chew

This maxim needs to be remembered constantly. We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable of carrying out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. Why take on additional loads that may create more worries? You cannot gain peace of mind by expanding your external activities. Reduce your material engagements and spend time in prayer, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind that make you restless. Uncluttered mind will produce greater peace of mind.

8. Meditate Regularly

Meditation calms the mind and gets rid of disturbing thoughts. This is the highest state of peace of mind. Try and experience it yourself. If you meditate earnestly for half an hour everyday, your mind will tend to become peaceful during the remaining twenty-three and half-hours. Your mind will not be easily disturbed as it was before. You would benefit by gradually increasing the period of daily meditation. You may think that this will interfere with your daily work. On the contrary, this will increase your efficiency and you will be able to produce better results in less time.

9. Never Leave The Mind Vacant

An empty mind is the devil's workshop. All evil actions start in the vacant mind. Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile. Actively follow a hobby. Do something that holds your interest. You must decide what you value more: money or peace of mind. Your hobby, like social work or religious work, may not always earn you more money, but you will have a sense of fulfilment and achievement. Even when you are resting physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God's name.

10. Do Not Procrastinate And Never Regret

Do not waste time in protracted wondering "Should I or shouldn't I?” Days, weeks, months, and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating. You can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future happenings. Value your time and do the things that need to be done. It does not matter if you fail the first time. You can learn from your mistakes and succeed the next time. Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing. Learn from your mistakes, but do not brood over the past. DO NOT REGRET. Whatever happened was destined to happen only that way. Why cry over spilt milk?

Grimm's Fairy Tales

Infected from the hospital

An eldary woman over in her 80's died after she was infected with H1N1 virus from the hospital.

The woman God bless was admited in the hospital for health complication, none of her family members got infected. It seems that the next room had someone who's infected with the virus.

Hammudi

Its an Arabic song performed by the Iraqi artist Majid Al-Muhandis, in his latest 2009 album.

'Hammudi' is a nickname for the name 'Mohammed', I dedicated the song to my beloved and favorate nephew, who I love so much and made our house more life then ever.

Eid = Family

The only thing I love about Eid celebration, is the family gatherings.

I feel single people who leave their parents and go away from them to celebrate the Eid in another country for enjoyment is not acceptable. They don't think that maybe its the last time they will spend with their parents? Maybe one or both of them will go away to another life?

It is just my opinion, after seening allot of parents give their children the freedom.

Act/ Seek/ Score

Act that you ill, to seek attention and score the goal by people beening on your side.

The window

I am looking at the window, trying to find something that attracts my attention, either a plant or person or car, anything that in motion, which is uniqe or has magical feature.

Life is all in motion, be part of it but don't let it take you away from other's life. Jump from one cyrcle to onther one but don't forget others behind, include them.

With love

Fallen in love with someone unknown, its just a fentacy or it isn't.

    A FAKE AMERICAN QURAAN  

Above: 'The True Furqan'

The new AMERICAN Quran:

a dangerous trick A new Quran is being distributed in Kuwait , titled 'The True Furqan'. It is being described as the ayats of the Shaytan and Al-Furqan weekly magazine has found out that the two American printing companies;'Omega 2001' and 'Wine Press' are involved in the publishing of 'The True Furqan', a book which has also been titled 'The 21st Century Quran'! It is over 366 pages and is inboth the Arabic and English languages... it is being distributed to our children in Kuwait in the private

English schools! The book contains 77 Surats, which include Al-Fatiha, Al-Jana and Al-Injil.. Instead of Bismillah, each Surat begins with a longer vesion of this incorporating the Christian belief of the three spirits.

And

This so Called Quran opposes many Islamic beliefs. In one of its ayats it describes having more than one wife as fornication, divorce being non-permissible and it uses a new system for the sharing out of the will, opposing the current one. It states that Jihad is HARAAM.

This book even goes as far as attacking Allah, Subhanahu wa Tahala!

All this is poisoning our children at approx. $3.

Brothers and Sisters please make sure you forward this email to as many people as possible so that we can stop this dangerous trick.

Please tell everyone you know and may Allah reward you.

Eid Rush

H1N1 takes away Muscat Festival

because of the H1N1 virus been spreading fast in Oman for over 1000+ been effected and 13+ death, the govt decided to cancel Muscat Festival for the year 2010.

Now Oman will be dead after taking the happiness from it and the turisum will decline too.

What to say, better be safe then sorry.

Get up and pray

The count down has started for the last 10 days of Ramadhan, its 22nd of Ramadhan and near to the Laylatu Alqadr and near to Eid Alfitr.

Trying my best to perform more prayers during the last week.

Habitak Wedhi Ghaltah

Love takes you away from reality, flying up to the world of fantacy, but it can crash you, temprerory or perminitly, depending on how high you flew.

Love is normal, but some people get addicted to it, as to extend they search for it at every conner of the reality.

Love is love, as long as it an inocent. Love or loved may vary from person to another, you are healthy if you love or in love, but may kill you if it becomes an obsetion.

"Yes I loved you, and it was a mistake".

Domistic workers and Ramadhan

"Oh my God, all the shops are closed."

"I was hungry and all the resturents are closed."

"I can't drink when I am out or I will go to jail if the police catches me."

The above qoutes are from the domestic workers, who they experiance their first Ramadhan in Oman, they insisted to go out on Friday, on their off day, despite been worned that all the shops will be closed because of the holy month.

They thuoght everyone was just joking, No eating nor drinking was not easy for them, specially having hot weather.

Now, they counting the days for Ramadhan to end, to get back their freedom of drinking and eating their home food in day time with their fellow friends.

I walked out of 'Funny People'

Yesterday, I was invited for Iftaar (breakfast) at Shang Tai resturent, had a great meal, which was fullfilling and didn't feel stuffed like I always felt since the first day of fasting.

Most of the food, which is been cooked in my home and other houses I invited my self to have Iftaar was too havey because of the amount of oil is been used in most of the meals, which I concider it unhealthy.

back to were I stopped, after the Iftaar, my sister and I decided to go for a movie, we drove to the nearest cinema, and bought two tickets to watch 'Funny People', which started 10 minites after arriving to the cinema, before we purchased the tickets my sister said she didn't come across the movie's ads, even in the TV, and so am I, we knew its a comedy, that's why we chose it.

We set at our located seats and the movie started rolling, 40 mins passed and we walked out of the movie, after spending 6 Omani Rials for sexsual commedy comments of 'C', 'F' and 'D' from begining to end, its Ramadhan and where are the athority for letting such movie to run all over the country during the holy month? Does the athority understand the English language or they just sense phisical sexual content not the verbal content?

I don't think people will react much or make a big fuss, as most of people won't go to cinemas in Ramadhan.'

Woke up with happiness

I am happy to be alive, despite the nightmare,
I am happy to be breathing after a short death,
I am happy to be happy, because nothing worth getting sad.
I am happy that you visted my journal,
I am happy for to read this post.

Enjoy every moment of your life, as if you'll die tomorrow. Don't forget performing your prayers at it time.

The 10th

The H1N1 virus had ripped off the soul of a man in his mid 50's and became 10th victum in Oman.

The silence before the stome

A year passed and I don't know what to say, to accept it or not, it's hard to accept the shocking truth.

One year passed and it gradually started to uncover one of the worst nightmares ever that I have been dreaming off, I always get up and always say "It's just a dream" and now its a big fat reality, which I don't know how to handle it.

I have been advised to handle it with care, despite doing it I find another bomb shell hidden somewhere else waiting to explode.

Allot of bombs been exploded, allot of people started to investigate but no one wants to say a word.
