Dido Update: Dido's Pose?

About a couple of days ago, I had come across a page on Facebook called "Dido's Home" and there was a lot of information (in Spanish of course -Google Translate for some people if necessary) about Dido and one of the topics that I read about was about her pose.
If you look at the first picture on the top left, that's from her album "No Angel", top right, "Life For Rent", lower left, "Safe Trip Home" and lower right, "Girl Who Got Away".
Facebook Pages like "Dido's Home" and "Dido Latino America" have started talking about her famous pose and it almost sounds political, lol, I'm kidding. It seems people are finding more and more news about Dido

Dido - No Freedom Lyrics

Official Album Cover for "Girl Who Got Away"

No Freedom

Take it by your silence

That I’m free to walk out the door

By the look in your eyes I can tell

You don’t think I’ll be back for more

Try to think of a world

Where you could stay and these safe hands could go

Take your heart above the water

Wherever I chose to go

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No freedom without love

Even when you don’t see me

Even when you don’t hear

I’ll be flying low below the sun

And you’ll feel it all out here

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No freedom without love

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No freedom without love

Standing here in silence

The world in front of me

Holding you in my hand

And seeing as you’d see

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No love without freedom

No freedom without love

No freedom without love

Finals Are Over:

I have just finished my finals at last...Oh God, it took forever for the finals to finish. It's finally done and now I'm on winter break (I know it's Jan, right?) but I think it's like this because we're following the Australian system.
Now it's just time to site back and enjoy life for the next couple of weeks. Actually what I just did, was that the minute I finished my exams, I just packed my bags and just got in the plane and left Dubai and went on holidays :)

The minute I left town, you'll never guess who revealed her latest song.....It's Dido. I know I sound like I'm obsessed with her music, but her music has changed completely and plus this is her "Last" album from what I've heard from people.
Anyways, the new song is called "No Freedom" and it has been aired in London on the 11th of Jan 2013 and it was played LIVE from BBC Radio 2 at 11:30AM GMT.
I just heard the song on Youtube and now I'm going to share it with everyone :)

2nd Rage Comic:

Who agrees with this? lol. It's sad but it's true about the internet services. The internet services are really bad in the UAE.
Look, I'm now hearing that Etishitfuck is the government, but I find that hard to believe and the only point that I'm trying to make is that their internet services and their phone services are so horrible, I bet the people in the Sahara Desert have better connection than the people of the UAE.
I also know that if I had an option to change my internet service provider, I would but sadly, it doesn't exist here in the UAE. You have Etishitfuck and DU and DU is currently owned by Etishitfuck. This is how sad it is in the UAE and not forgetting that everything is around a trillion times more expensive here since we don't have taxes :P

Need A Good Laugh?

Here are a couple of jokes.....Enjoy!!!

Overbooked Flight:

In an airport boarding area they announced that the flight was overbooked.

The airline was looking for volunteers to give up their seats. In exchange, they'd give you a $100 voucher for your next flight and a first class seat in the plane leaving an hour later.

About eight people ran up to the counter to take advantage of the offer.

About 15 seconds later all eight of those people sat down grumpily as the lady behind the ticket counter announced:

"If there is anyone else OTHER than the flight crew who'd like to volunteer, please step forward."

............................................................................................................................
The next set of jokes were forwarded by Email from a friend of mine:

1. To commemorate the release of the topless photos of Kate Middleton, Royal Doulton will be releasing a Collector's Edition of two small jugs.

2. Seven wheelchair athletes have been banned from the Paralympics after they tested positive for WD40.

3. A mummy covered in chocolate and nuts has been discovered in Egypt ................. Archaeologists believe it may be Pharaoh Roche...
4. Just A Reminder to those who stole Electrical Goods in Last Years Riots....Your One Year Manufacturers Warranty Runs Out Soon.
5. "ITS A BOY" I shouted "A BOY, I DON'T BELIEVE IT, ITS A BOY" and with tears streaming down my face I swore I'd never visit another Thai  brothel!
6. Two Indian  junkies occidentally snorted curry powder instead of cocaine, both in hospital...one's in a korma.. the other's got a dodgy tikka!
7. The 100m final at the 2012 Olympics was just like another Friday night in Brixton. You heard a gunshot followed by 8  guys legging it!

8. In the first few days of the Olympics the Romanians took gold, silver, bronze, copper, lead and anything else they could get their bloody hands on.
9. Sailing results are in, GB took gold, USA took silver and Somalia took a middle aged couple from Weymouth .

Senor Roy Gets A Call:

At dawn the telephone rings,

"Hello, Senor Roy ? This is Ernesto, the caretaker at your country house."

"Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?"

"Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor Roy, that your parrot, he is dead".

"My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?"

"Si, Senor, that's the one."

"Damn! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he die from?"

"From eating the rotten meat, Seor Roy."

"Rotten meat? Who the hell fed him rotten meat?"

"Nobody, Senor. He ate the meat of the dead horse."

"Dead horse? What dead horse?"

"The thoroughbred, Seor Roy."

"My prize thoroughbred is dead?"

"Yes, Senor Roy, he died from all that work pulling the water cart."

"Are you insane? What water cart?"

"The one we used to put out the fire, Senor."

"Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?"

"The one at your house, Senor! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire."

"What the hell? Are you saying that my mansion is destroyed because of a candle?!"

"Yes, Senor Roy ."

"But there's electricity at the house! What was the candle for?"

"For the funeral, Senor Roy."

"WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL??!!"

"Your wife's, Senor Roy. She showed up very late one night and I thought she was a thief, so I hit her with your new Ping G20  204g titanium head golf club with the TFC 149D graphite shaft."

SILENCE...........

LONG SILENCE.........

VERY LONG SILENCE…………

"Ernesto, if you broke that driver, you're in deep s##t."

 

Time Goes By So Fast:

For some odd reason I still feel like I'm on the 5th week of the semester but it's not true. It's the 12th week....Oh God, time is going by so fast.
Oh and guess what, we have around 15 days (excluding today) till New Years Eve :D :D :D :D :D :D
And also like around 10 days till Christmas Day and Dido's Birthday (lol, I think I might be too obsessed with her music, but her music is SO good compared to the other singers nowadays -I think she should sing with Katy Perry & Adele, right?).

As of January 5 2013, there will be no updates for a month because I will be having final exams and then on the January 10 2013, I will be travelling for a bit (not sure for how long, maybe for like 2 weeks or more).
There might be some updates maybe once I finish my exams (on the 9th of January 2013) but there will definitely be some updates as of January 30th 2013 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D 

Dido News: New Album News

Here are a couple of things that you might want to know about Dido's new upcoming album "Girl Who Got Away".

First is that the album is destined to released on March 4th 2013, but before that on January 31st 2013, her first single "No Freedom" will be released in certain areas (Probably in the UK) . The full version of her song "No Freedom" will be playing on the radio (probably around the world) on the end of December 2012, which is right now :)

Next on the list, Dido has just been voted as the sexiest women in the world by some magazine called "Glamour" in the UK. 

Moving on, Dido has also been filming the music video of "No Freedom" in LA. Her photos were recently found on an article based on the LA Times newspaper and the song has a cool car (A picture tells a 1000 words).

Last but not least, Dido has leaked a new song to the public as of the 14th of December 2012. The name of the song is called "Let Us Move On" and she is singing with a hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar ( I know he sang with Lil Wayne or something like that). Anyways the song is now available on her website (www.didomusic.com). I have posted the lyrics below, followed by a Youtube video :)
Oh and I forgot to mention that Dido will be releasing to versions of the song, the Economic edition and the Deluxe edition (just like her previous album "Safe Trip Home") and in the Deluxe album, there are going to be 18 songs (6 additional songs instead of 12 songs only like in the economic edition) and in this song Benny Bennasi will be making an Official Remix of her song "No Freedom" and also Armin Van Buuren will be making a remix of her song "Everything To Lose". Yes, that song is added in her new album (Thank God ) but "If I Rise" isn't added...I'm not sure why, though.

Dido – Let Us Move On Lyrics (feat. Kendrick Lamar) Lyrics

Dido:
Don’t wrap it up and go,
Or hide it behind the sun
Just give it to me as it is,
And let it stand
Don’t fly it like a kite, between the clouds
It needs no excuse, just bring it down

Chorus:
Let us that are in pain look upon it
In all its glory
Let us move on
Let us move on
This is short and it will pass
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short, and it will pass

Every voice that is lifted, river and some pain
Show us now, and let love not be chained
We should feel what we can stop let us be alive
Show enough, and we’ve done, now we can

Chorus:
Let us that are frozen get to see
In all its glory
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short and it will pass
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short, and it will pass

And let all that is lost be forgotten, and it will pass
So let all that is lost be forgotten
Let us move on

Kendrick Lamar:
Like the waters and the open sea
With tribulation come over you say yes hopefully
And yesterday you could probably say there’s no hope for me
But today I’m overly dedicated
I’m posting via testimony for broken hearts in the city
You’re either crash-landing or planning on flying with me
Misery love standing behind his company,
Well, vividly I could see that your feelings would like to dwell
On our past encounters, reaching over the counter
Told me that it’s appealing to ṗop a pill less or down now
I heard emotions burn deep,
I heard when you fall out of love, the drop is deep
I heard when you see a thug that’s what you try to be
Git these burdens under my wings but I’m still free
Cause I can make the decision to let it all go away
Before I ever run astray, I looked you in the eye and say

Dido:
Chorus:
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short and it will pass
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short, and it will pass

Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short and it will pass
Let us move on
Let us move on
For this is short, and in the past
And in the past

Just 3 Facebook Covers That I Made:

Dido Announces Her New Album:

UPDATE: The Album Will Be Released On March 4 2013

Yes, It's OFFICIAL at long last, Dido has finally revealed the name of her new album. It's called "Girl Who Got Away". Wikipedia states that the album should be revealed in 2013, but Dido's Twitter page mentions that Dido is now listening to the final edition of her tracks for the new album.
So I'm assuming that the album might arrive on Christmas (Inshallah :D :D :D). If not, then it might arrive on January and Dido mentioned that once the album is released, she'll go on tour, though tour dates of where and when are not confirmed.
She might end up having the tour in London and probably different parts of the UK (Brixton? Maybe).

Also Dido's website www.didomusic.com has been updated with a new design and it has also been linked with her Twitter account.

And finally one of the people that Dido has been singing with is  Peter Agyagos. I'm not too sure who this person is. Rockceller Magazine says that Dido's new album has enlisted the help with A.R Rahman, Nelly Furtado, Shakira, Sister Bliss, Faithless, Rollo Armstrong and several other people.

Update: A preview of one of the songs from Dido's new album "Girl Who Got Away" called "No Freedom" has been leaked on to the internet. Members of the Dido Community have been reporting it, because they don't want to hear the song until the entire album is finished. Dido HQ has also removed the song and several links that it had been posted on (Youtube, Facebook, Soundcloud). It's best not to listen to that song until the album is released, but then again if you heard it, Do Not Spread it Around until the album is released.

The Album Will Be Released On March 4 2013

Traffic In The UAE:

There is so much traffic nowadays around the UAE, especially on weekdays and of course during the weekends. The traffic is just getting worse by the second. The picture above shows how bad the traffic is to get to the Dubai Mall, I was using Al Khail Road to get to the mall instead of the Sheikh Zayed Road.
This was on a Wednesday night, not a good night to go driving, especially when the light turns green, EVERYONE is literally asleep. WTF is wrong with those drivers. Either they drive on the road, or simply use public transportation. If you want to sleep, just go back home. Don't even leave your house, just stay in bed and sleep.
I would highly recommend that the Police come and deal with the situation or even call the RTA (Road & Transportation Authorities) to fix these problems.

I Would NOT recommend anyone to visit Dubai Mall during the weekends as the traffic gets much worse, no matter how early you go and they have NO parking at all.
Go to a different mall or whatever, just don't go there, this place gets extremely overcrowded.

Where Is The Time?

Over the past couple of months, I have been overwhelmed with a lot of work(both university and personal time). There are just so many things that need to be done and I have actually created a "To Do" list that is still incomplete. I have just started doing some of several items on my list, such as to watch a couple of shows, study for whatever subjects I have this semester, deal with my weight (which is still in progress), fix the damn internet (Etishitfuck is still giving me problems) and several others

Also in other news, I have finally reached my third year of University. I am so relieved to have reached this far, in life, I'm so close to graduation, but I never realized how much work the professors keep giving the students :/
Well, it is university and it's not school any more and I just have to live with it and face reality :P
It's a little too much at times but I manage to get them done in time and the classes are longer than before and a little more spread out. I had also decided that I'm going to learn a new hobby during the semester.

So far, I haven't revealed the new hobby yet, so everyone will just have to be patient. I plan to reveal my new hobby probably in a year or less.

Oh and I forgot to mention that I also got a new desktop PC because my other PC kind of died out, so it took quite sometime for me to search for a new desktop computer and I found one at the store and bought one. It's a customized computer that's pretty powerful....lets hope that it would last long (at least 3 or 4 years)
