If I Had a Time Machine

Where would I go if I had a time machine?

To the future?
I'd love to witness what point technology reaches, but wouldn't bear to see more corruption in the world.

To the past?
I'd love to go to the past and live a simple life, meet famous people like poets, scientists, messengers and my ancestors. But I'd miss technology, mainly shower and internet.

NO easy hot shower/bubble bath/jacuzzi

NO KD450 job, four walls, office, and PC

NO playstation

NO ipod

NO Marina Mall, NO Marina Crescent, NO Chocolate Bar

same crowd, same 7:30 am direction, BUT NOT the same cars :)

Where would you go?

Wife Treated Like a Kid

“I have a husband who treats me like a kid”
A statement I just heard from a raging distant fellow employee. I don’t like her, but somehow I felt sorry for her. It isn’t the first time I hear such phrase from a married woman.

The question is:
If she is really a kid then why did he marry her; only to let her feel bad about it?
If she is mature, but is treated like a kid regardless, why would he treat her this way?
Is it because he likes feeling superior?
Is it because he is threatened by woman’s intelligence?

Only anti-men comments are welcome :p

A Man in the Ladies Room

While I was checking out my looks in the mirror before leaving work, I heard a loud man’s voice calling: “baby baby entay weinich? Ridday 3al telephone” meaning: “baby baby where are you? Pick up the phone”. I was horrified when I first heard it but it turned out to be a silly ring tone.

The lady picked up her mobile phone while performing her nature call and spoke to her darling hubby. What a silly ring tone.

- Baby equals the lady’s dala3 nick name that has zero relation with her real name.

- First time visitors: I know the title is misleading, but that is how I felt.

remember me?

Chocolate..The Ultimate Sin

I, Flamingoliya, hereby present you this post. My sole aim is to torture hungry souls who are sitting in their offices right now starving to death. I therefore, present you some delicious quotes I found on the internet.

Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands - and then eat just one of the pieces Judith Viorst

Chocolate: Here today .... Gone today!

I never met a chocolate I didn't like. Deanna Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation

This guy found a bottle on the ocean, and he opened it and out popped a genie, and he gave him three wishes. The guy wished for a million dollars, and poof! there was a million dollars. Then he wished for a convertible, and poof! there was a convertible. And then, he wished he could be irresistible to all women... poof! he turned into a box of chocolates. It's not that chocolates are a substitute for love. Love is a substitute for chocolate. Chocolate is, let's face it, far more reliable than a man. Miranda Ingram

Exercise is a dirty word... Every time I hear it, I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

cacao beans

It's not that chocolates are a substitute for love. Love is a substitute for chocolate. Chocolate is, let's face it, far more reliable than a man. Miranda Ingram

Nuts just take up space where chocolate ought to be.

I don't understand why so many "so called" chocolate lovers complain about the calories in chocolate, when all true chocoholics know that it is a vegetable. It comes from the cocoa bean, beans are veggies, 'nuff said.

I could give up chocolate but I'm not a quitter.

I am a serious chocoholic. For the serious chocoholic, chocolate is better than sex. If you believe that, you REALLY need to meet that special someone who can change your mind. If you HAVE met that special someone and still believe that, I REALLY NEED to know where you get your chocolate!!!

Don't wreck a sublime chocolate experience by feeling guilty. Chocolate isn't like premarital sex. It will not make you pregnant. And it always feels good. Lora Brody

who wants a dip?

Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. author unknown.

Man cannot live on chocolate alone; but woman sure can.

Researchers have discovered that chocolate produced some of the same reactions in the brain as marijuana. The researchers also discovered other similarities between the two, but can't remember what they are. Matt Lauer on NBC's Today Show, August 22

Ouija Board (2)

No this is not part two. This post is to inform you about the following telephone disappointing conversation that took place a few days after my Ouija Board post. It was between me and my Ouija partner.



I: Remember the Ouija Board event?
She: Yes! But I’m not quiet sure what took place that day.
I: Do you still have it?
She: Yeah, it’s hidden somewhere.
I: It’s when we talked to them and asked about my dead relative, and my future husband.
She: LOL. Did you buy that?
I: Well yeah! You saw the piece moving!
She: I was moving it!
I: No you weren’t! I saw your slight touch. You can never move it that way!
She: Well I did! But had the slight touch once you looked at my finger!
I: I can’t believe what you’re saying, you are kidding me. You don’t even remember the conversation we had with them!
She: LOL I do now! BLAH BLAH BLAH (she reminded me of details that I had forgotten)
I: GASP!
She: I tricked you. I lied!
I: YOU LIER! (Still doubting her and thinking this is another a new lie).
She: I did! I even fooled my sisters and my other friends!
I: Then why didn’t you tell me before! A lie can last for a day or two, not for several years!
She: I forgot!

Just before shutting the phone, she said: “Oh and remind me to notify my sisters and other friends that I lied to them too. LOL”
End of conversation.


I am disappointed in my friend but am somehow relieved that I don't have to worry anymore about what could have come out of what we did.

Shaymz, wherever you are, sorry to disappoint you.

The Ultimate Gift

Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?

To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N’ give her wings - when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin’ helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her
That she’s really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
That it’s gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you -
Til ya know how she needs to be touched
You’ve gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N’ when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman
You tell her that she’s really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
That you’ll always be together
So tell me have you ever really -
Really really ever loved a woman?

You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
A little tenderness - gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin’ good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman...

Then when you find yourself lyin’ helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman
When you love a woman you tell her
That she’s really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she’s the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
That it’s gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really

Just tell me have you ever really,
Really, really, ever loved a woman?
Just tell me have you ever really,
Really, really, ever loved a woman?

Infidelity or Marriage?

Inspired by Aquamarine's post on men cheating in marriages; I’ve come to think of what would be a better hell, your man cheating on you or marrying someone else?

العشيقة أم الشريكة

Gentle Women

I just got this random thought while surfing blogs…
Why men are called gentlemen? Is it because they are gentle? Are they all gentle? What if the man isn't gentle? Why do we generalize it?
I know women are gentle. Are they called gentle women? Not as far as I know. Why aren't women called gentle women just like men are called gentle men?

Lets rehearse this,,
Ladies and gentle men
Gentle ladies and gentle men
Gentle ladies and men
None of them sounds good, hmmm
Gentle people
Gentle crowd
Gentle creatures
Gentle both genders
Hmmmmm
Hope this gentle post doesn't keep me sleepless tonight.

Bloggy Insomnia

help

النجدة ساعدوني

I can't sleep! It's past 3 am and I just can't close my eyes! I haven't drunk any caffeine I don't know what's wrong. I have to wake up in 3 hours. How am I going to go to work? akhaf anam bil sayyara.
I've been thinking of a new proverb that is "a blog a day, keeps insomnia away"
I will prove me right If I sleep after posting this.
I had too many marshmallows, laykoon they contain caffeine!!!

Eh ehhhh sleep flamingo sleeep

i need a bed time story.

twinkle twinkle little star, how i wonder what you are

المع المع كالألماس حلو النجم كالأقمار

/off to bed

Morning Update

I slept right after posting. "A post a day, keeps insomnia away" turned out to be a valid flamingoliyan proverb. Didn't hear both alarms, thus, was late for work. Thank God boss wasn't here! :D

Now excuse me, I want to rest my head on my dictionary and have a quick nap.

Imaginary Bloggers' profile (2)

I can't help it. I can't help but to visualize bloggers especially those whom I visit frequently. It is weird how I picture a bloggers profile just by reading their posts. I imagine some men to be skinny, some women with silky hair and so on.

I am obsessed. Have mercy dear bloggers and send me your pics. I was never obsessed with looks as much as personal info when chatting on messenger. But here in the blog world, it's entirely different. Blogs are more personal, open, transparent and honest. Nobody tries to lie or fake their character, only impressing people with well written posts and ideas.

Picturising bloggers reached the extent that when I'm in public I spot people and start guessing everybody's who. I can confirm it sometimes just relying on my judgment based on their blog character. I am sick. I didn't imagine addiction to reach this point. My therapy would be either quitting; a thing that seems impossible at the moment, or you fellow bloggers submitting your pics to me and ending my suffering :p

It would be nice seeing if my imaginary profiles match with the real ones. Sometimes I even change a person's hair color after reading their new post. I am pathetic.
I wonder if anyone has the same obsession, hence, I wonder what my picture would look like based on my blog. I hope it's not just a pink flamingo.

"blogs are windows of the soul" that is my newly found proverb.

Some people suddenly disappear from the blog world thanks to anonymity we don't know if it's death (la sama7 Allah) that took them away or just quitting. I wonder if anyone would miss me when I'm gone (please say that you will) :p

It's after midnight now; my inspiration visits at wrong hours. Good night.
