The main reason why women don’t like mama’s boys is because competing with the woman who gave birth to him just isn’t an option. For me, it is primarily because I do not see any ‘alpha male’ quality anymore. And I need to respect my man, knowing he can stand up for himself and for [...]

(WARNING: vulnerable post ahead!) I had the week from hell last week. It stirred up a lot of emotions, and I am not a melodramatic person, nor an uber emotional one. I am very compassionate however. and that is a downside. as I feel what people feel, and I get sad when they do, happy [...]
I dont think i ever had a new years resolution. ever. oh no wait. i did but never kept it :S by Jan 3rd I had already broken it and it felt horrible to betray myself like that. I like to be a person of actions, not words. And i did not keep my promise [...]
I CANNOT BELIEVE WHERE THE TIME HAS GONE! I absolutely can’t believe I turned 30 in December. I left my twenties behind. 10 years of my life. ZERO accomplishment. well not zero per se, but so many things I thought were something, turned out to be mere nothings, and so many things I wanted to [...]
the devil wears a pantsuit
Posted: October 23, 2010 in bla bla bla, life, observations, thoughts, womenAs I havent slept all night, I eventually gave in to the chronic insomnia and got up to entertain myself with a movie. Valentine’s Day, check. Prince of Persia, check. few other generic tv movies, check! this morning another tv rerun. Devil Wears Prada. and you know what, Miranda is the closest thing to my [...]
on marriage and men
Posted: September 20, 2010 in bla bla bla, damdoumization, men, observations, psychobabble, relationships, theories, thoughtsthis post has been brewing in my mind for a while. so has the subject. im an observant more than anything in life. well that, and an ‘inane chatter’ as a friend once put it. and you know what? I am not a fan of generalizing and stereotyping but I gotta say this whole heartedly [...]
10. nothing 9. nothing 8. nothing . . . you see where im going with this i presume.. I probably stopped planning since i was 20, i had just graduated from uni, had a 5 year plan ahead of me, my eyes on the prize as they say, and bam! my world changes drastically, and [...]
So I took my car to service today, and that humming annoying noise apparently was a bigger problem than I anticipated. so it’s a 2 day job, and I will be carless till midweek. it’s funny how it cripples our mobility big time in this country being carless. had I been in europe or the [...]
* I hate being sick, and non-winter flu is the worst! and funny thing is, no one seems to ask about you when you’re sick. its like *officer down! ok, we got 5364291 other friends to go out with* jeez people.. on a serious note. I hate fevers! i can tolerate any pain, except the [...]
high school personality patterns continue
Posted: April 20, 2010 in damdoumization, observations, people, psychobabble, theories, thoughts(WARNING: long psychobabble post ahead, purely my theories and mumbles) Isnt it funny how high school behaviour patterns and paradigms continue into adulthood and into the office environment? I think most people fully evolve by the age of 16 (child psychology suggests personality starts becoming consistent starting at the age of 5) I think by [...]

This relationship does not have to be of a romantic nature, and may be instead of a sibling one. It may occur when people have completely lost the intimacy within a [...]
January.. overlook
Posted: February 20, 2010 in bittersweet, damdoumization, feelings, inside out, people, relationships, thoughtsThis January was one big wedgie! I swear my life is one crazy rollercoaster and a series of dramatic events that I do not know how and why I keep coming across. But no complaints, I guess no one can do my life but me. and I believe that God knows my capacity, and wont [...]
* We had a long holiday for Eid and National Day, and i took the 2 days in between off so I can have the week off. I havent had a decent holiday since ever! (ever being December 07) the only days i left for a while were when I went to finish up official [...]
* TGIT! seriously, that was one of the longest weeks in history. well in my (short) history! its funny how happiness/misery sometimes can be a powerful time measurement unit! I wonder about the ancient times, before watches and sand clocks, how did they measure time when they were happy/miserasble? i mean we can say “the hours stretched forever” or [...]
Its been a long while since i had one of those, so here’s a thought! People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; succeed anyway. [...]
embracing that change is not always easy.. what are your priorities at this stage of your life?
this is a question for both genders. for the sake of the most effective birth control possible, would you get ‘clipped’ if you’re a man? or ‘tie your tubes’ if you’re a woman? Also, for the men out there, would you let your wives ’tie her tubes’ in the future knowing that it is a big deal, a [...]
how judgemental are you?
Posted: September 14, 2009 in damdoumization, people, psychobabble, theories, thoughtsno its not a quiz post. i tend to see the word as ‘judge’ & ‘mental’ to tell you the truth! i dont think i was ever that judgemental, except when i was younger maybe, i had my few moments. however, the longer my journey goes is in this life, the more relaxed and laid back i have [...]
* i always used to think people were gluttons for happy endings, but with every incident that happens i become more convinced that people (in our part of the world) CRAVE drama, whether its a car accident, a fire, religiously watching a soap opera, a public lovers’ quarrel, or even someone tumbling and falling in the street! we just have [...]
* its funny (not funny ha ha) how some people like to ruin things for others when its ruined for them! why dont people just leave others alone?! especially the happier ones.. karma is not be taken lightly people! * i read this sentence somewhere and ever since i did, its been stuck in the [...]
Deception
Posted: March 17, 2009 in bla bla bla, damdoumization, psychobabble, relationships, theories, thoughts, Uncategorizedthe psychology of deception is an interesting study, especially that of self-deception.. deception by general defenition is the act of convincing another to believe information that is not true, or not the whole truth. (brought to you by Wiki). (personally i believe hiding facts is just as horrible and hurtful as lying). Self-deception is the process [...]
* hypocrites must be, in addition to liars, my most loathed category of society. i dont understand how can one think something, and do another. or be nice to someone in the face, and then take their chance at bashing/offending them behind their backs, in the case im referring to, it was deliberate, & right [...]
change is the only constant
Posted: January 25, 2009 in feelings, observations, people, relationships, thoughtseverything else is variable.. i completely agree with that proverb. everyone changes at some point, i believe it happens at least once every 5 years of ones life, some change occurs in preferences, taste, degree of stubbornness, some qualities mellow out, others become more intense.. even if it was a very small change, it happens, personally, some things i liked [...]
crash and burn..
Posted: November 23, 2008 in bla bla bla, feelings, inside out, life, random, thoughtssometimes.. you plan something unintentionally.. its not like you plan it on paper and figure out all its details, just something you want to happen.. sometime in the future in a way or another.. you’re just taking it a day at a time.. all signs are positive.. everything seems to be heading that way.. then [...]
this morbidly obese economy is experiencing a minor heart attack.. or is it a major one? what bothers me most, besides that our jobs are at stake and everything is so uncertain. is that no one wants to tell you what’s going on honestly & clearly! either the decision makers in Dubai are in complete [...]
no not Body Odor! President Obama, first black president in the white house. will we finally see shades of gray?
4 words a man never wants to hear: “we need to talk” since usually they’re followed up by 4 words he knows he will hear: “this is not working!” 3 words a woman fears to ask: “what are we” since she will probably hear the next 3 words: “nothing but friends” (or in some scenarios “friends [...]
neither sweet, nor bitter, a bit of both : ) الذكرى المشؤومة لوعد بلفور sad memories of great people (4 year memorial today. may he rest in peace) warm memories of the start of my journey with spirituality.. sweet memories of reuniting : )
bla bla bla
Posted: October 20, 2008 in bla bla bla, damdoumization, life, random, thoughts, Uncategorized* i am somehow convinced that selfishness and selflessness are both really bad qualities.. i even tend to believe selflessness is worse! with selfishness, you at least get what you want, you might hurt people along the way, or lose some, but still, your goals are achieved, your possessions are ‘possessed’, and your wants and needs [...]
halloween is around the corner, well not quite the corner! but every year around this time i wish i can trade lives with someone else! just for a day.. a change of scenery, a diff set of fears and dreams, just living in someone else’s shoes for a day.. why cant we wear a costume [...]
