على مهلكم يا جماعة

Khobbeizeh - Wed, 11/19/2008 - 19:21
حادث مؤسف إستوقفني مساءً في طريقي، سيارة خرجت عن الطريق بسبب السرعة الهائلة، وإصطدمت بعامود ثم تدهورت وإنقلبت. لم أستطع إلتقاط صور جيدة أو معرفة أي شيء عن السائق بسبب رفض الشرطة، بالرغم من محاولتي إقناعهم بأنني أفعل ذلك ليكون هذا الحادث عبرة للناس، لكن كان الرد: ظب كاميرتك وروح من هان، مش ناقصنا، بلا عبرة بلا حكي فاظي! يلاَ، مش مشكلة! لكن المهم أنّ العبرة تقول: في العجلة الندامة وفي التأني السلامة. تأكدوا دائماً من أن قيادتكم سليمة، هادئة، متزنّة وحذرة

Bye bye TRL, I’m old…

Moey's - Wed, 11/19/2008 - 11:31

Beyonce opens and closed the last TRL, TRL was the flagship television series on MTV that featured popular music videos. TRL was MTV’s prime outlet for music videos as the network continues to concentrate on reality-based programming. In addition to music videos, TRL featured daily guests. The show was a popular promotion tool used by musicians, actors, and other celebrities to promote their newest works to the show’s target teen demographic.

I used to skip school for the top 10 @ TRL, now it is gone. I just found out (I don’t have TV in my new place yet, and I don’t need one for now), TRL was canceled, last show + special three-hour finale aired on November 16, 2008, at 8 p.m.

It is gone

+ Loft.

This is for  [ Sar7an ] ! Poor fella’s been naggin for me to update this “ghost town” of a blog; You see, it’s not that I ran dry out of topics or I stopped observing people but I do not feel like sharing details of my life to just every single Tom, Dick and Mary out there.. knowing for a fact that a lot of them are fucked up psychos lurking around to cause damage…. BLINDNESS <– 3ama !

What brings up MJ’s topic now? Well, You Tubing takes one places you know; search a topic and something else pops up and I never heard of this VITILIGO skin disease before and I am doubtful honestly speaking, I mean him - her - whatever it is having this disorder because of all the ops. he underwent throughout shababo (his youth). I am not a fanatic, I don’t really care if he’s Black, White or Red as a baboon’s ass - excuse my language - I am rude yes I know, but losing your nose just for the sake of wiping any “Black Race” traces is dumb man!

A coupla videos I watched and though I’d share with you folks, especially since he - she - it is back on the news now with the law suit against him.

At the end I would like to say:

” LEAVE JACKSON ALONE “ <– LOL

You actually like your job… because I do

Moey's - Wed, 11/19/2008 - 02:29

As an art director working in advertising, we’re hypocrites most of the time when it comes to liking our jobs, we actually like our job.

No matter how much I bitch and moan about my job, my boss, my co-workers, my client and the long hours I work… I actually really like my job. I like what I do and will never actually leave the advertising business, because the thought of having a “real” office job filled with spreadsheets, meetings and whatever else people do in real jobs, makes me want to cry and I’m 100% sure that throwing paper-airplanes in those offices would not be considered funny at all.

Enjoy a lovely morning remix

Divide and Conquer: when your friends fight

The Diary Sequel - Tue, 11/18/2008 - 18:48

So what happens when 2 close friends who are also in the same social circle have a falling out? Often times their selfish human instincts put them in a competition to get people on their side as opposed to the other or even as opposed to staying neutral.
So what do you do when 2 associates of yours get in a fight? It's really hard to stay out sometimes and you could get dragged in whether you intend to or not, especially if they make it everyone's business by going around talking about it to everyone.
Do you side with whoever you think committed the least wrong? or do you favor loyalty and stick with the person you're closer to despite the fact that deep down inside you thought it was his/her actions that were unjust to the other person?
If you happened to have a problem with one of the 2 individuals that's completely unrelated to the fight would you capitalize on the situation to go against that person at that moment and justify the other's claim of innocence? People do this subconsciously all the time, just watch The Hills and you'll know!

I personally like to identify the mistakes made. My best friend could get in a fight with the most annoying person in the world but if I thought what she did was wrong I'd have no problem recognizing that. I try really hard not to let someone else's problem with a person affect my relationship with that person unless it's something that could affect me...like for example if stealing or psychotic behavior was involved (hey it happens).

Amazing online photo editing aka online Photoshop clone

Nekrif - Mon, 11/17/2008 - 15:48

I was browsing across the Internet into some directories …and it seems you want to hear me explaining myself?
No?

I found this amazing service called Pixlr, which is basically your Photoshop but web based and does everything like editing, adjusting and all your photo enchanting needs. Pixlr also allows users to use most of the standard keyboard shortcut keys such as “Ctrl O” to open an image, “Ctrl Z” to undo, “Ctrl C” to copy, etc. This speeds up the editing process significantly. Pixlr saves the files in either JPEG or PNG formats.

I have used this application so much in college, sometimes I just wonder how I get most of my work done with-out it. MS Paint is no fun.

I totally recommend this for quick edits as you can just enter the URL of the image and then you can go wild.

That bored made a small video

WOTLK

Nekrif - Sat, 11/15/2008 - 20:36

So yeah, I did wait in the line and no I don’t need one of those things … a life. To be honest Northrend isn’t all that and can get really boring and is over crowded when it comes to getting loots. First night I was on WOTLK there was someone level 82 72.The wowinsider blog confirmed some EU guilds finished the game so far, which kinda ruins the game and maybe the last in the series of WoW.

I got so many assignments and I doubt this is a good idea with university and all.

Firefox Addons I Can’t Live Without

Nekrif - Sat, 11/15/2008 - 15:30

Use at your own risk, remember backup your bookmarks!

To be honest, I hated Firefox with all my gut. Two years its been since I switched over and now I even keep a portable version in my USB (College is gay with no installation of software). Firefox has changed the way I browse in so many level and I am really loving every minute of it. In this post I will share the addons I cannot live without.

1. Stylish and GreaseMonkey
Both amazing addons with a very strong community input. I created a Userstyle which lets you make your FF tabs looks like the ones that come with Chrome. Stylish taps into FF to let CSS developers customize different aspect of the layout and content. While GreaseMonkey uses Javascript to add content to viewed pages.

Stylish Styles
 
1. FF3 Resize of toolbar = more space for browsing  {here}
2. Piratebay adblocker = No need to worry people thinking your watching porn {here}
…rest aren’t worth installing

Here

GreaseMonkey … Banana’s?
 
1. IMDB popular torrent search (only if you use IMDB) {here}
2.Blog Comment Identity , this is magic … I hated commenting because I had to write my name and url again and again … this helps {here}
3. Youtube Lyrics … I listen to a  lot of music and sing a  lot so this is handy! {here}
…Rest aren’t worth the time

Here

2. Web developer Toolbar
This add-on helped me design my current theme. I’m sure you all know this one so I wont go into details.
 

here

3. Foxmark
Sometimes I think what my life would be like without this… its the prefect add-on if you use a lot of computer with Firefox on them. For me it sync’s my Mac, Ubuntu, Windows and Portable FF bookmarks & passwords.

here

4. LivePR
The only reason I use Google toolbar was for the pagerank but since I want space over functionality this add-on is needed.

here

5. Open Location Box

Don’t you hate it when a website block the hyperlink or someone doesn’t hyperlink? this add-on solves that, you select the text you and right click ‘Open Location Box’. I set my one to open in new tabs.

here

That’s my list, if you have an add-on which you think is cool then please share it with me

My new reading addiction: The Twilight Series

The Diary Sequel - Sat, 11/15/2008 - 12:24

About three things I was absolutely positive.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him-and I didn't know how dominant that part might be-that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.


I bought this book last night and as of 10AM this morning I was already on page 260! I even got a full 8 hours of sleep. It's amazingly addicting, and considering I have finals in 2 weeks I have added incentive to keep on reading it hahaha.

I never grew out of the young adult book section and Twilight fulfills all my vampire romance danger fantasies. I even get to indulge in super human capabilites like mind reading and Hulk-like strength.

What's more exciting is knowing that when I finish this one there are 3 more parts! That's right, this book is part of a series with the sequels titled New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. Also number 5 is currently in the works titled Midnight Sun. I haven't read a series since Shopaholic years ago. I would order the boxed set online to save me money but I'm just afraid I wouldn't get it fast enough. I don't think I'd be able to wait a day in between and I've already texted my reader friends telling them they have to get this book. Stephanie Meyer should totally add me to the payroll.


Oh, and at the movie theatre the other day I saw a preview of the Twilight movie coming soon!!!!!!! That reminds me I still need to go watch the Secret Life of Bees.

Guys don't hug your hijabi friends

The Diary Sequel - Fri, 11/14/2008 - 18:34
Everyone has different standards and I'm not judging anyone here, but most likey it's not ok.

I would accept such innocence from non muslim boys but when you're another fellow Arab Musim, you should really know better. You put us on the spot to have to reject your advance without seeming like an uptight snob, or just praying to God noone in the crowded corridor saw that.

I can hear it now: Oh my God did you see that?....what a hypocrite

I mean even tattooed biceps guy knew better than to offer more than a handshake and a tap on the elbow, and at least he's a pretty hot resident so it would have been.....not so uncomfortable....j/k

It doesn't mean we don't like you, we could be in love with you but still prefer that you just didn't do that. Now don't be surprised if the next time I run into you I act like I don't see you and keep on walking.

I fell right out of my chair and it sounded like a bomb

The Diary Sequel - Fri, 11/14/2008 - 01:08
One of the most empowering feelings in the world is when you work your ass of for something and actually get results!

For me this week was the real test. I had to demonstrate proficiency in the 5 main procedures we've learned all semester that actually have to do with my field. The past 2 weeks included lots of late nights and weekends in the lab to prepare for this and the whole setup is pretty intimidating. It's common that people will fail what's called a checkout.
Round 1 was on Tuesday and I was the very first person to get called in. I was nervous as hell when that timer started and fumbled absolutely everything. I wasn't at all surprised when I got an email later that day saying I'm going to have to retake one of 2 checkouts I had that morning (the other I passed with flying colors). I was pretty disappointed in myself that I walked to the dean's office right after to admit my mistakes through tears because I knew he's going to tell me to calm down and it's not the end of the world to fail one checkout (and he did). He proceeded to tell me stories about the times he messed up as a student, and this guy ran a very successful practice. Then we talked about cars.

This morning I had the other 3 which are actually much more challenging. I did lots of deep breathing and prayed that I wouldn't have any brain farts again when the timer started. You wouldn't believe this but out of nervousness I fell right out of my chair while performing retinoscopy. The chair hitting the metal sounded like a bomb went off and I freaked out everyone including my poor mock patient. My preceptor was compassionate enough to stop the timers and make everyone stop what they were doing and wait for me to collect myself before we all resumed. Afterwards we had a nice laugh.
I was refreshing my email inbox all day waiting for that email and finally got it around 5 PM. My scores were 92, 95, and 100 and I couldn't be more elated! I said alhamdulilah 100 times over. I was able to determine the prescriptions right on the money and my mistakes were more of little careless errors largely due to nerves. 7 hours later and I still feel like I'm on top of the world.
I decided I really needed a night off and do normal things. So me and my friend went and strolled the mall.........and not regular people mall but fancy, rich people mall. We figured it would prevent us from buying things when a plain shirt is equivalent to gas for a month. I was annoyed to see a pair of pants I paid 80 bucks for 2 weeks ago now on sale for 40.....oh well! I just bought another one in a different color. I bought a few things from the cheaper stores including new workout clothes from so that I don't have to do laundry so much and another vest which is like the funnest article of clothing to buy when you lose a lot of weight. The night ended with sushi dinner and my favorite banana tempura desert......all in moderation of course!
