THIS SAYS IT
Time passes
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT.........
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. A girl friend is never farther away than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you...Or come in and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers, Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended family, all bless our life!
The world wouldn't be the same without women, and neither would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did d we know how much we would need each other.
Every day, we need each other still. Pass this on to all the women who help make your life meaningful. I just did. Short and very sweet:
There are more than twenty angels in this world.
Ten are peacefully sleeping on clouds. Nine are playing. And one is reading her email at this moment.

Omani Cuisine
Hello everyone! A friend of mine (Ahmed Al Yahyai -some of you might know him) and I started a new blog on FOOD. We usually cook over at my place every other weekend, so we thought that it would be cool to post our recipes online. All the photographs that you see are of food we actually made, no, I am not kidding, and yes, we're pretty good. :P Check out the Omani Cuisine here http://www.omanicuisine.com/ and feel free to send me any feedback.

My simpathy for Sadaam
His execution wasn't humenary, they brived him the right to complite his to testmony (Shahada) as a right of any Muslim to say it before his/her death, the testemony says:
but he only said:
[I testify that ] there is no god (ilah) but God (Allah), and [ I testify that ] Muhammad is the messenger of God.
but he only said:
[I testify that ] there is no god (ilah) but God (Allah), and [ I testify that ] Muhammad...

Sorry, to end the service
Hala picked up her cellular phone after it rang few time, a male voice came out of the other side of the phone and identified him self as the representative of her car insurance company.
Caller: Dear Hala, your car insurance and license is about to expire soon.
Hala: Yes, I am aware of that.
Caller: But us deeply sorry we will have to end your services with us and we are preparing the necessary documents for the transfer to another insurance company.
Hala: Why?
Caller: As you had an accident.
The above conversation had really happened few weeks ago with my relative, the insurance company refused to provide their service after she had an accident and the period of the service with it was only one year.
It seems that the insurance is not willing to take any risks and doesn't want to pay for the insurance.

Back with faith
I'm back with faith in my self, God, my love ones, etc.
Long time not been posting since I went on vication to East Africa, went to vist my relatives who I have'nt seen for nearly 20 years.
The wether was great over their, cool braiz, couldy in some area.
I came back after 18 days of relaxation then after one week, the holy month of Ramadhan greeted us and faded away after one whole month of peacefull in mind, bod and soal.
During the holy month, I was exposed with allot of Anasheed (Islamic songs) that I fell in love with.
