New Everything

God, it has been almost a year since my last blog and life has truly changed alot, especially with moving out to Abu Dhabi for work! Who would believe a Dubai girl would leave to a more conservative city and become part of its society, one which as locals from the city of Dubai discriminate against.



Many things to share here, but I guess in a new blog as per the below address:

Childhood Memoirs

As we age, we lose the enjoyment of life because of our daily stresses that run into our blood and mind making us more frustrated. With the noises around, we forget how easy one can balance his/her life to fully enjoy. To learn the technique and bring more joy to your day, you need to bring your childhood memoirs into your life.

True it is , that a kid's life is much simpler, not because it is, but rather his mind makes it so. A kid's real interest in life is to 'have fun' and learn as much as possible; and when faced with troubles, he cries rather than stressing over it, spending sleepless nights, and forgetting how easy it is to confront and deal with situations. As we say it in Arabic, a kid is "عفوي" and would be like an open book, thus all troubles will be dealt with on the SPOT! Also, a kid's joy is the result of simple things in life: friends, games, beach, candy, etc. Those would make his eyes brighten and maybe tear from joy, dancing and laughing around you.

It brings alot of happiness to my heart watching kids and playing with them. It is a motivation in one's life to work hard, and not to forget, to enjoy time with them, as they are precious. Also a memoir of my childhood always make me smile, no matter how frustrated I am.

Childhood is the only medication to today's busy stressful life.

Public Relation

When talking about dealing with people, then you are either talking about SALES or PR, the worst two positions you can have!

Ok Ok they are fun at times, but since ppl are the hardest to deal with especially with so many different personalities, mentality and way of thinking, this is a BIG PROBLEM.

It's been 2 months now that I am working with the PR. Not as I expected it to be, where I do the work rather than depend on an agency; but definitly is a hard task working with 3 agencies in different areas of the world and being effective.

But to talk about the fun part of PR: Media Training

With this type of training, you become smart in understanding people, their needs and wants. you also understand the mentality of journalist, thus not falling for their tricky questions especially off the air interview.

"Sir, do you think that Motorola is not doing well in this region?" then you answer, "No, I d on't think Moto is doing badly, etc.... " Whooooooooops you fell for it, and started your answer the way they wanted, rather than saying, "Moto is doing really well, etc..."

One advice I learned is, " don't feel the need to fill in silence, "

So our upcoming events are, WIMAX MEGNA in Dubai and WIMAX MECOM in Abu dhabi!

Let's see how I like PR.

Gulf Photo Plus

At last, am taking steps towards of interest rather than putting myself down thinking it is such a hard task to take nice photos. It turns out though, my pictures are quiet nice, but as I have never used Photoshop or any other programs to enhance my pictures, it looks at times dull. Now that I have learned a bit of much, I find that I am able to do a job as good as many others, but it'll take some learning!

Please your honest comment would be much appreciated as it would teach me how to better enhance those pictures. Especially those professionals, such as Mr. Doel! Also if you have any good websites I can learn from, that would be AWESOME!.
