Monthly Update: March 2012

As you all know last month, I didn't really give you guys much of an update because I had gotten the flu and since I didn't get it in such a long time, my whole body starting with headaches which eventually became migraines, runny nose and so on. Enough about that, I'm so glad to get over that. Thank God for giving me the strength to overcome the flu.

Anyways in case any of you hadn't noticed, I have added a couple of updates on my web links.

There is a TEDxUOWD link and that is something I would like you to click on and like the page if you can. It's a Facebook page and I'm just doing this for some of my friends and also for my university. It requires your Facebook login. If you don't have Facebook, you can register on their site.

Moving on, in addition to that, I have also continued watching Pretty Little Liars and lately they have just released "A's" Decoy, which is Mona. I would highly recommend that everyone starts watching that show. We all want to know who "A" is, right? I know some people don't agree with me.

Also in other news we've been having a couple of sandstorms hitting the middle east followed by low visibility and then followed by hot days and even some rain in Abu Dhabi. On March 25th 2012, it had rained so much to the extent that they had to cancel the Formula One Racing Event. Now lets hope that we get some rain in Dubai, because we need a break from all this sand and heat. Just give us some rain :P

Expect another update on March 30th and a couple on April 12.

Blog Issues:

Dear Guests,
                     I am experiencing some technical difficulties due to loss of internet access. Also another reason Why I'm not blogging is that I also came down with some sort of a nasty cold/flu. So I won't be updating my blog until all of these issues have been resolved!
Thanks for reading.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE :D :D :D :D

Dido Update: Info On Her Child But What About The Album?

Dido Updates her Facebook account and explains to us about the name of her child. Unfortunately there is no news about her new album :( but there is some info about her new-born child :)

She says:
"... Happy 2012 everyone! I hope it's amazing for you. Thanks so much for all your lovely messages and birthday wishes too. And for all those asking where stanley got his name - we chose stanley because it's been my absolute favourite name from back when I was a teenager and then coincidentally it was my husband's too! And his middle name william is after my dad. See you all very soon. Love, didoxxx..."

Dido Update: She Gave Birth

I had recently just signed in on Facebook and I got an update from Dido's Facebook page. This is what she said:

"...I wanted to wish you all a very happy christmas. I'm ridiculously excited about stanley's first christmas this year! :) Hope you all have a brilliant one and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in 2012... Love, didoxx..."

 So also in case any of you didn't know, it's also Dido's Birthday :) :) :)
Also judging by the comment, I think she has already given birth to a baby boy named Stanley as well, since their going to be celebrating his first Christmas together. And I think she's also going to be releasing the album extremely soon in 2012 *Fingers Crossed* :)

Update:

 Wikipedia has actually updated their website and this is what they wrote:
"...In February 2011, Dido posted a message on her official website, explaining to fans that she would not perform at the 83rd Academy Awards because she was pregnant and was expecting a baby with her husband Rohan Gavin. Dido gave birth to her son Stanley on July, 2011..."


So it's official that she gave birth :) :) :)

If Two Can Keep A Secret:

Here is an interesting show to watch, it's called "Pretty Little Liars". The story is based on 4 girls: Hanna, Emily, Spencer and Aria (it starts from left to right - look at the picture above). This is about 4 friends that join together after many years to face an unknown person by the name of "A", Who threatens to reveal every single one of their deepest and most darkest secrets. So these girls are trying to unravel the mystery between "A", who also murdered their best friend.
It's a very good show to watch. In my opinion, this show has a twist to it, you need to use your logic to find out who is "A" and what his or her's plans are.

You can watch it on these links:

Next Update Coming Shortly :)

So Many Things To Do, But Where Is The Time?

I have so many things to do nowadays. First, the semester is finally coming to an end, this is the final week of classes and then we get Christmas day and New Years off, followed by 3 straight days of final exams (Which I've been studying like crazy for). It's just so over-whelming to be finishing the semester, especially during the cold days in the U.A.E. and then go celebrate once the finals are over.
Now moving on, also this autumn I found that there are so many interesting TV shows out there to watch. Some of them include: "Pretty Little Liars", "2 Broke Girls", "The Walking Dead", "Ringer" and much more. Also I found so many interesting movies to watch such as "Insidious", "Paranormal Activity 3", "Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol", "Tower Heist", "Hostel 3" and the list goes on and on.
There is just no time to watch all of these. It's as if this semester is too long and complicated, with quizzes and an increase in assignments. And where is the time to blog?  Don't worry it's not like I'm quitting blogging. I will continue blogging on a monthly basis and probably from January 15- January 25, I'll be adding a couple of updates as well for all 10 days :)

Now I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Have a Happy New Year

I will be adding another update on December 24th :)

December Post:

Hey everyone, how are you doing? I hope all of you are doing alright. Now I know I haven't been posting a lot on my blog. It's just that I have been really busy at the university. The next couple of semesters are going to be extremely hectic, so I won't be able to go and blog until they give us some days off.
Speaking of days off, it's UAE"s 40th National Day today :D :D :D :D

Happy National Day UAE :D :D :D

Here is a picture that I had photoshopped a couple of years ago....lol, now since it's national day, I posted this picture as my Facebook profile and a bunch of my friends commented on it....they did say some good things about it but they were also shocked, I might add.

Anyways I'll be posting another update in the middle of December, probably on a Thursday or Friday. I would also be posting a couple of music videos as well. Please check it out down below:

Here is a Chilled out remix of Dido's "Thank You" and a Soothing Dubstep of Dido and A.R Rahman's song "If I Rise". You might be required to go on Youtube to watch these videos, watch it. It's worth it :)

Just Hold On:

It has been quite sometime since I last blogged but I recently became really busy. First my university has started giving us a lot of work, so I barely have time to blog, in addition to my work overload, I have also mentioned that my brother recently got engaged. Other than that I also started watching The O.C and also Pretty Little Liars. So far so good, I seem to be quite addicted to these shows.
I will be posting from a monthly basis. So every month expect 1 or 2 updates until the Winter Vacation -January 10, 2012 :)

This post is not considered to be my post of the month....there is another one coming up soon :)

Etisalat's New Logo:

This is the new Logo by Etislut. Yet it's just saying the pure, bitter truth!

Most Disturbing Song Heard:

Today, as I was driving back home from the university, I was listening to Virgin Radio Dubai (104.4) and I was  listening to one of their latest songs or as what Virgin Radio calls it "Fresh Hits 104.4" and at first when I heard it, I was quite surprised to hear a song that had a 70's beat to it (Disco like, think of the Beatles, our parents used to listen to them back in their times).
I was also trying to figure out the name of the song until about a couple of minutes ago. At first I had decided to Google up the lyrics that I heard on the radio and it goes like this "...You Better Run Baby Run...". I spent about a couple of minutes trying to figure out the name of the song and also so that I could understand what the lyrics were, I only heard the last minute of that song and I was curious to find out the name of the song.
So after a couple of minutes I found out the name of the song along with the name of the Artist/Band. The name of the song is "Pumped Up Kicks" and it's by "Foster The People" and this song is all about killing and death. What is wrong with Virgin Radio Dubai playing songs like that? I find that Dubai should at least ban this song on the radio and TV, at least then you know there are a lot of people listening to the radio, especially young children.
Are they trying to get the children to start using guns and probably go shoot someone? Well excuse me, I think they should have the decency to just block this away from all the young viewers and crazy people out there. Who knows this song might even give someone an idea to go nuts and take a gun and go on a shooting spree like that incident in America a long time ago.


WARNING! DISTURBING LYRICS ARE BEING DISPLAYED BELOW HERE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ABOUT THIS. IT'S 18 & ABOVE. YOUNG VIEWERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE THIS!!!!!

Here are the lyrics of the song:
Robert's got a quick hand.
He'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan.
He's got a rolled cigarette, hanging out his mouth he's a cowboy kid.
Yeah he found a six shooter gun.
In his dads closet hidden in a box of fun things, and I don't even know what.
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you.

[Chorus x2:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

Daddy works a long day.
He be coming home late, yeah he's coming home late.
And he's bringing me a surprise.
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice.
I've waited for a long time.
Yeah the slight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger,
I reason with my cigarette,
And say your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah.

[Chorus x2:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet.

[Whistling]

[Chorus x3:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, outrun my gun.
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks you'd better run, better run, faster than my bullet.
Well who am I to judge what type of filth the radio stations want to display. I don't really care anymore. Let them get the sins and burn in Hell along with Etislut!
