I remember the time when I had a lot of free time…

I remember the time when I wished I had a cool fun job…

I remember the time when I thought life is stable and it was great…

I remember the time when I had time for friends and family to hang out with…

I remember the time when I believed that life was going my way…

I remember the time when I thought that I had all the answers…

I remember the time when my blog was one of the main essences of my life…

Then it all went down hill the day I stopped dreaming and faced reality. And oh, reality bites, but I try to keep that smile on my face every day and say, “TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE BETTER!”

I have been working like a dog this week. I even work after work till late at night getting stuff “done.” Why? Because I deal daily with LAST MINUTE people!

Sometimes I wish I was a house wife with 3 kids, being their boss, and telling them to shut up. That would release my anger on a daily bases!

Angry, Blah Blah, Ranting as usual!, They said what?, Whatever!

I am disappointed that Brazil lost.

I am no longer going to watch the world cup. I will go back to the same old routine of blogging a bit more often and answering people.

So how is everyone doing? Good I hope! I am same old same old. Nothing new or exciting. My brother is here now, and we will go to Toronto on Sunday to pick up his wife and daughter from the airport. They were in Lebanon for the month. So yaaay!! A CHILD in the house!!

Hair sticking out form the fear!

Also, now I am wearing contacts. The pain and struggle to put those suckers in. On my right eye it takes a second, but on my left eye, dear Lord the struggle. So after days of struggling. I figured out that to put the contact in my left eye, I have to use my left hand. And to put the contact in my right eye, I have to use my right hand. Why wasn’t there a manual for these stupid things!

By the way, I can see better and I don’t need to spell check!! However, grammar will always be a struggle for me. You know, being an immigrant and all. “Me no speak English.. !” 

So that’s is the 411 on my life so far. I am almost done my course. 2 down, 5 more to go and I will be get my PMP. Maybe then I will reach higher ranks in life!!

Just for a day and re-hired tomorrow morning! Isn’t that the highlight for everyone’s Monday morning eh?

So, during sessions at work, I have to move my friggen computer out of the place that I usually work in because they need the big huge room. So, I move equipment back and forth. So annoying and I feel like I am in Office Space the movie.

Therefore, this morning, I was at work around 7:30 am, alone, and I wanted to move my stuff back. I moved everything, and lastly was my computer. Which is one of those iMac’s 27inch crapintoshes. You know what I mean. So, I was walking, moving along and I got close to where I was going to place it, and bam, I hit the side of it and it scratched it and left a long running mark of scratch in the top right hand corner. Little piece of glass fell on the table, and my heart stopped!

It STOPPED!

I didn’t swear, I didn’t say anything, but I was like IT’S MONDAY!! AND I SPENT ALL WEEKEND WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY AT HOME!

So I put the computer down, I turned it on, and I thought to my self, I can live with this. I will keep this as a mark for MOVING ME TOO MUCH!

I went around saying oh crap, oh crap, oh creap! PLEASE! NO ONE GET MAD AT ME! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!

Then the boss came and I told her, “Please don’t get mad at me!” She said, “Why, what happened?” So I told her and she said, “It is still under warranty and maybe they can do something.”

I said, “I can live with this..”

Then later at noon, the other boss was telling the other programmer to let me break his code before we release it. I then jumped in and said, “I can break stuff!! Look at what I did to the computer here!”

He said, “what did you do!!”

So I showed him and he said, “I am calling you duck tape Mona from now on.”

I was like, hehe.

Later, I told the ladies that I got an Optometrist appointment right after work, and one said, “That’s so ironic after what you did this morning!” I laughed.. hehe.

So, I went to the Optometirst, and remember guys when I wrote that article about a month ago saying that I was promised a cute guy? DAMN RIGHT I WAS! And the funny thing is, he was not Arab, but HE LOOKED 100% Arab! Impossible! He was dark skinned, dark eyed, had all the Arab features one would think about, but he WASN’T! Weird eh? And he was not Latino.. which made it seem ever weirder! He then told me, “Do you know so and so from my home town?” I said, “No, I am from this city.” He said, “I swear you two look like sisters.”

Ok!!

Anyways, so it turns out I am more than blind. I am blind near sided and far sided. The dude said that maybe I should get bifocals because you guys all know, I am 20 years older than my age and I am withering and dying as we speak. The other suggestion is I wear contacts and buy cheap reading glasses on top of that that will help my eye strain and I can focus more.

That’s how sad my life has become. I need a new job where I don’t stare at the computer screen all day and smash crapintoshes!

Blah Blah, Funny, Random Thoughts, Ranting as usual!, They said what?, Whatever!

I love, double love, triple love, quadruple love getting emails from people, especially ones commenting on each of my posts saying, “You are not rebellious!”

Some of you really love to put that sour icing on that moldy cake!

What did you expect? A blog about some badly raised, unethical, backstabbing, two faced, living a double life Arab girl? Sorry, I suggest you guys unsubscribe from my email newsletters and RSS if you were “thinking” that. I can’t offer that. I am a lazy girl, and I can’t bring my self to act with such fakeness.

I am not rebelling against culture, or made this blog as a secret diary. I could care less most of the time who reads it or it is up to standards to the rest of the world. I am not writing to satisfy anyone. I am writing for anyone who wants to read what I have to say. That’s all!

Objects in the Mirror are Farther than they Appear

If I describe to you how bad some Arab girls I knew in the past are, you would think I am lying. I knew girls that slept with more guys in a month than people in the Western world did in their lifetime. I think Sex in the City is a joke to them when they watch it.

I am not like that. I was not affected by the people around me. This Western life did not even rub its effects on me, and I have no reason to defy the way I was raised. I choose my own path in life. I even confronted some of those girls and told them, “Aren’t you afraid of diseases?” But obviously, they don’t care or ever think about it because their parents don’t know or even bother to discuss such issues. They assume they don’t need to or ever need to.

It’s a scary world out there, and so many Arabs, especially girls, have this perfectly innocent façade that they portray to the world. Some had abortions, some have diseases now, and some even ran away from their current life thinking their Arab traditional families won’t haunt them anymore.

I think some of you guys need to wake up and stop emailing me your crappy excuses. I am not what you excepted, and I will never be. And I am quite satisfied with being 29, single, and not having a possessive demanding fakely traditional Arab man in my life.

Oh, and if someone asks me why wouldn’t I go for a non-Arab one more time, than I will go to your house, smash down the front door with my long ancient Arab battle sword, and make you fall on your knees and say, “MONA!!! I WON’T GO ON YOUR BLOG SAYING SUCH A THING EVER AGAIN!”

I got a car and I will drive to your house anywhere in North America and demand a 3 course dinner! But if you live in South America, I demand hot Latino guys waiting for me to stare at as a compensation!
