Festival flavor

Last Thursday I came back home after long day to start my weekend by dosing off on the mattress while watching a movie.

I woke up when I felt someone entered the room, and it my sister, she gave me multiple choices of what to do at night, either go downtown to the festival or late night movie, I told her what ever convenient.

She decided after I woke up to go to the festival, for me it was a way to get out from home, and I thought what will I do there. We arrived and went to the global village where they sale products from various countries, I went to have two cups of Moroccan tea (more of a sweetened green tea).

Then we headed to the Omani cultural village, which amused us, seeing the culture different regions how they dress up, products, etc, even seen the old taxi models (the donkey). Also how people react, specially the expatriates and tourists.

I have to admit, this journey was more of fun then 1st time, still we didn't watch the laser and firework shows, as we busy enjoying the lovely surroundings and atmosphere.

You are my inspiration

After posting my previous post, I set looking around and trying to find a new thought to write about, then it clicked me, I should browse the people I am following on Twitter, they are somehow part of my inspiration too, and I can't deny it too.

Allot of bloggers switched to tweeting because of they interact more with their followers (readers), some still blogging and get quick responses via twitter, and Facebook is also a slow motion.

Writing

"I use notes to take ideas out of my head. I will never use them the next day – they will be useless"

The above quote of Paulo Coelho, which I came across while browsing his Tweets, that's what I am actually missing in my blog, flow of thoughts been wasted and sharing it at the right moment, by writing them down when it pops up in my mind. My today's thoughts becomes unfinished and useless the very next day and meaningless too.

Thank you Paulo Coelho for you lovely thought.

I didn't meet the criteria

Since last two weeks, several people asked me if I'm attending certain workshop, I said "No", until I met someone and told me he'll forward the email to me and I couldn't remember his name to drop him a reminder.

The weekend passed and I finally met the director and he asked me if I'm attending the assessment, I said "No", he responded to me that the candidates are chosen under based on certain criteria and I fell short of one.

I saw the group of candidates and most of them I knew and was with them for the last two and half years, I felt a bit of disappointment not been part of them.

All that motivating me to work harder to meet that criteria, I may not be with them but I want to make sure be part of the next group, maybe also been blessed to focus on what's more important.

R.I.P. Whitney Houston

While I'm on my way to work, i logged in to my Twitter account @ShulaB to read the early morning timelines and to pick up few qoutes to share it with my fellow BBM contacts, i came across the news of the death of Whitney Houston, a legend whose life got messed up after her marrige to Bobby Brown.

She was one of the best singers I came across, her voccls were unique.

Back to blog

Since my last farewell post, the number of visitors tremendously increased, and still increasing, i didn't my infamus blog will be famus for some readers. I want to thank each reader visiting my space.


So i decided to return to write in my blog but not as before.

Farewell

Dear Readers,

I have decided to end my journey of writing in my blog. It started in year 2003, when I moved back to my country after years of been away.

This I shared allot of things, and yesterday I initially decided to temporarily end expressing my feeling, but now I feel i should permanently end it. My posts are generally negative more then positive, and I feel that is not me. I have allot of topics and thoughts to write, but when I start typing, my post is short and I get lost in the middle of the article.

I do have dreams, I need to reassess them. I am on Twitter, my user ID is @Shulab. It's temporarily open for everyone who wants to follow me.

All my previous posts will be deleted in future, after I move them to another private blog.

I will miss this place, but I believe it's the best decision I ever made in year 2011, During last 10 days of Ramadhan.

and finally Eid greetings to everyone.
