Office Problems

 

Negativity

I have read the book Secrets it says when you send out positive or negative energy to the universe you will get back the same energy. The power of energy is somewhat real to me but I believe if you do something good something good will come back to you and I’m sure I’m not the only one in the world that believes in this.

Here is my issue I have a colleague that is so negative it effects everyone around here and since I’m closer to her I feel it more, she always looks at the bad side of things and has a negative outlook on everything we do at the company, new clients we sign and every little thing that happens I reached my limit with her honest to god its bringing everyone down especially me.

I want a way to tell her not to do this anymore but in a nice way where she doesn’t take it personally even though it is. PLEASE HELP!!

Personal Belongings

I like to drink my green tea in a big mug which I brought to the office from home and I have made sure everyone knew its mine. The issue is that this 20 year old kid doesn’t seem to understand that I do not like anyone drinking or touching my stuff (OCD) he did it the first time and I simply said “don’t use my mug please” but that didn’t get to him because yesterday he used it and make coffee with milk (I hate the smell of milk and coffee smell doesn’t go away when you wash it for the first time) so I said to him in a very polite way “don’t use my mug every again” his reply is what got me so mad “I didn’t use it I only drank from it”

I was so angry I thought why should I be nice “I guess your parents didn’t teach you to respect others” “you’re a disgusting human”

I understand that I should of let it go but these types of people that have no boundaries, like once I left my water bottle on the table and because he was thirsty and too lazy to walk 5 steps to get his own he drank from mine. That’s not all he is a very dirty disgusting person he once found an old chewed gum in his pocket and popped it in his mouth. The good thing is his last working day in June 1^st so I only have to handle this for less than a month.

 

 

A New Getaway!!!!

On Friday Morning we drove to Banyan Tree Beach Ras Al Khaimah at the time we booked we thought it was Banyan Tree Al Wadi Ras Al Khaimah and that’s what we searched but when we got there we found out it’s at the other Banyan Tree. It was amazing the atmosphere, the staff, the food and the cold beach oh my god was it cold by 4 pm we well I couldn’t go in. I loved the place a definite secret getaway not so many people where there.

We drove from Mirdif to RAK for about 40 minutes (we are not counting the 20 minutes wasted going to the wrong hotel) when we arrived at the location we had to take a boat to the hotel it was for about 5 minutes not long. The Day pass is for 200 AED plus 10% service charge includes towel, cold water, nuts and cold face towels. Lunch was pretty good not things I would normally eat but the pizza, Angus burger and the sweet potato fries were delicious.

I would defiantly go back at any time, next time I will book the villa with a private pool and stay the night because by the time I got home at 8pm I was dead tired slept on the couch for like 2 hours. Defiantly next time booking the night.

Your next staycation getaway!!

 

 

My Body My Island My Rules

 

I thought today I should share with you my daily workouts, here we go!

• Squats
• Lunges
• Burpees
• Wall Sit
• Walking
• Jogging
• Sit Ups
• Crunches
• Leg Raises
• Plank

When I first started these I used the 30 day challenges to see if I can do it and it worked perfectly, I loved the way I felt, the energy I had and  the amount of food I was eating which for me is a god given miracle to eat so much food.

Tip 1: If it’s your first time at working out try the 30 challenges at http://30dayfitnesschallenges.com/ pick 2 at first and after you have accomplished the challenge start with walking and jogging before you start new challenges.

Tip 2: Every fitness trainer or anyone in that matter would tell you do not push yourself its true don’t push yourself over your limit but do push yourself at finishing the goal you have set for yourself for that day.

Tip 3: Take a break 1 day a week I usually take Fridays because it’s when my whole family gathers at the house and we eat and eat and eat the reason for that is we all work out and our cheat day is my mother’s happy day she gets to feed her kids.

Tip 4: Always keep track of all the workouts you do download an app, make an excel sheet (my favorite thing ever) this will show you how well you did and it will motivate you to keep going.

Tip 5: Drink lots and lots of water and eat small portions meals. EAT!

Tip 6: And please make sure you have the right shoes on. Mine are Adidas.

 

It works for ME and do what works for YOU!

 

Here’s a thing I find strange!!

How come some people are ashamed of where they come from? They pretend to be someone they’re not or come from somewhere they only lived in for a few years and completely forget where they came from. Someone please explain this to me.

I am very very proud of where I come from first and for most I am Kuwaiti, Canadian and Emirati at heart the reason for that is I have lived in Kuwait from birth to age 7 then Canada until I was 16 then the move to UAE until I was 26 and back to Kuwait until last year now and finally Dubai at age 28. Living in these places made me who I am today but they are not what I am. I am me a Kuwaiti Canadian weirdo that lives in Dubai. I love these places they are my home they are a part of me, it’s strange when someone asks me where I come from because for me I’m from these  places, so I am multi-national I guess.

Kuwait – My Home – My Blood – My Life

Canada – My Home – My Childhood – My Athletic Years

UAE – My Home – My Family – My Endings

#MyKuwait

#MyDubai

#MyCanada

So back to these shameful individuals I ask you to explain to me why are you ashamed of your heritage, family, home, who you are and most of all how do you raise your kids in such a matter? Shouldn’t you be proud? Isn’t this what made you who you are? What are you trying to accomplish?

I just want to understand the logic these people have behind hiding who they are. Where you come from is what makes you the person you are today and tomorrow.

 

Singing off as proud as can be!

The Sand Pit Run (Post Event)

 

 

A record participation of 1,100 enthusiasts marks off the first season of this much-awaited event.

In an exhilarating environment amidst fun and cheer; Dubai’s Al Barari came alive with The Sand Pit’s debut obstacle run on April 17, 2015.

 

Conceptualized bearing in mind an aim of showing people that they are capable of taking on challenges by working together towards a shared goal; the event’s debut event logged in an impressive 1,100 number of participants including individuals and groups. As The Sand Pit Run flagged off, participants were seen cruising further and overcoming obstacles with team effort. The only event in the Middle East that’s focussed solely on an untimed obstacle run, the primary intention was offering a fun event rather than a competition. The entire event was buzzing with efficient comradeship as ‘Pitizens’ turned up in various costumes and realised their true potential in physical and mental abilities whilst having fun.

 

Speaking about the event; Firas Masri, Co-Founder and CEO of The Sand Pit said, “It is encouraging to experience the kind of support and turn around we received on our debut event. Our motive was to devise a bi annual sports event that is full of challenges both mental and physical but at the same time, an event that will make people achieve it together and not pit them against each other in competition. A winning streak when achieved with a team effort always feels more rewarding and conditions the mind better for real-life situations. We are happy that participants just let loose and simply had fun.”

 

UAE’s first ever untimed fitness challenge; runners in The Sand Pit worked together to overcome 15 obstacles ranging from crawling under barbed wires, a 4 meter slide into a water pit, a run on sand dunes, climbing up a 3 mtr wall to sliding on ice cold water; to name a few. With interesting titles, the obstacles like ‘Sub Zero’, ‘Into The Pit’, ‘Stride of Pride’, ‘The Ape Dome’, ‘Alcatraz’ etc. were designed not only to test mental and physical abilities but also encourage collaboration as opposed to competition in obstacles like, ‘The Quarter Pipe’, ‘A Friend In Need’ and ‘Walley’ to name a few.

 

 

 

Crimes all Around

 

I love reading about crimes in the newspapers from all over the world, as soon as I get to the office the first thing I do is open my web browser to Khaleej times, Arab Times Kuwait, Gulf News, The Daily Mail and The Guardian search for the latest crimes. I have searched serial killers and why they do what they do and mob families, my friends and family think I’m insane or that I should have been a detective maybe I was in my past life. 😛

After reading all these articles I get so scared to walk to my car or even walk to my house door at night, as soon as I get in I lock the doors even the my room door making sure all windows are locked. When reading so much about these horrific crimes you get to see how in the most random places and situations bad things do happen even in your own home.

Reading about shootings, rape, child killing because the mother was “mentally ill” or just a father that beat his son’s molester these stories makes you think what if? What will I do? How will I cope?  Will I be able to defend myself? I find this world to be so unbelievably dangerous but we can’t live inside our homes to be safe we have to get up and fight back.

Pepper spray in your purse, take some self-defense classes, speak out when you see something not right and please if you’re a teacher just take a second and look at your students and make sure all the kids feel safe in their home they trust you they will speak out if you give them that chance.

 

Love always and stay safe!

#MyDubai is the Old Dubai

I have been in the UAE for more than 13 years I have seen it grow from the ground up. #MyDubai is waaaay different then this Dubai. My Dubai was Jumeirah and that’s where we hung out not Downtown not CityWalk not JBR and not Dubai Mall what we had was Mall of the Emirates, Palm Strip, Markato, Madinat Jumeira, Marina Walk and maybe once a month we drive to Abu Dhabi for some shopping back than AD high end shops would have the new collection before Dubai, and now its Dubai than the rest of the world.

As we grow we change I guess Dubai is the same I love what it has come to in the past few years all the other Emirates followed Dubai not only that but most of the world is now competing to be better than Dubai to be Dubai. DUBAI IS A LEADER. Shaikh Mohammad Al Maktoum has places Dubai and the UAE on the Map. I have always admired him the way he thinks and developed Dubai from ground to Burj Khalifa.

Celebrities come to Dubai for a holiday, Dubai is been talked about by so many music artist in their songs. The reason I’m talking about Dubai today is because since I came back it had changed so much and I only left for 3 years, it’s amazing to me and to the rest of the world how a city became so marvelous, became one of the top cities in the world. That’s what #MyDubai has grown to be.

Once you go Dubai you never go Back!!

A latte for your skin!

 

Each ingredient will be found in your pantry right now unless you’re not a coffee drinker, if that is the case just head to the nearest supermarket and get some ground coffee beans. This recipe has been recommended by Dr. Oz, and personally I have tried it and it works perfectly.

 Each ingredient has its own character but together they are powerful.

Sugar is exfoliating and encourages growth of new skin cells and actually helps the skin look younger.

Coffee,The caffeine helps bring blood flow into your skin and reduces inflammation, redness, and cellulite.

Honey helps hydrate the skin and seals the moisture into the skin.

Olive Oil is high in vitamin E, a key nutrient for skin. It will help your skin look and feel more supple and help moisturize and nourish dry winter skin.

 

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Ground Coffee
• 1 Cup Brown Sugar
• 3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
• 2 Tablespoon Raw Honey

 

You don’t have to use the Raw Honey it’s not a must for the coffee scrub

Instructions

1. Combine the ingredients in a mixing bowl until thoroughly mixed.
2. The texture you are looking for is moist sticky grains. You do not want it to be too runny (add 1tbsp sugar until the right texture) or too dry (add 1tsp olive oil until the right texture).
3. Be sure the honey is well incorporated into the mix.
4. Place in jars and enjoy!
5. Use in the shower after washing as a scrub to remove dry skin, reduce cellulite, and revitalize body and mind.
6. Store it in an air tight container

 

Note: This is a body scrub, not a facial scrub.  Facial scrubs are composed gentler than body scrubs.

 

Sometimes I wonder how people can change in a split second….

 

 

 

I don’t see or feel that I have changed at all in personality except for the things that supposed to change in life as you grow older. I don’t like people (guys mostly) that still act and talk same as they did when we were teens, and let’s not forget following those chicks on the street or malls. GROW UP my friends I am asking you in front of the “world”. I know someone my age still acts and talks the same and someone younger talks and acts as if he\she is in their 30’s.

This post isn’t about these people it’s about me of course. Sometimes I think I changed and sometimes I don’t sometime I just want to be a kid and play in the park. When I talk all grown up I get so proud of myself then chick boom my family makes fun of me. Being the 5^th kid out of 7 you kinda get lost in those convos they have and no one listens to you so what choice do I have other then yelling my point across and they think I’m yelling at them.

I thought by the time I’m this age I would be totally different, I thought maybe something inside of me will change not only the outside (even though I still look 12 on the outside). What can I do to change ME? I don’t want to be all work all the time, I want something else something I can call MINE….

MINE!!!

That will never happen for me… I must always share or learn to let go.

Set it free if it comes back it belongs to you…. YEAH RIGHT !!! Bunch of Bull….
