My First Attempt In Making Pizza!!

It was just one day that the house was empty and I felt bored... that I decided to try my cooking skills.... even after watching my stepmum cook many times and learning a lot from her (she's a fab cook! :p )... I guess I still had my own style... which I was praised for, for my first attempt :p
This was quite a tiring job... but the outcome was much better than I imagined... I left the kitchen proud :p :p ! Lol...
Ofcourse I followed a beginner's book...
I guess the most difficult was making the dough... for the rest it was pretty easy and enjoyable...
well for whoever knows how to do the dough... the topings I put was just random... added whatever I felt would make it good... finally this is what came out of the oven...

I tried some and gave the rest to the others who were quite happy to have it...

hmmmm

I guess I'll visit the kitchen more often :p

What Are You Looking At??

Today we've gone to 7awasna to get some 9awaree'7 (rockets :p)... a name given to huge shawarmas. We basically decided to eat them in the car... we didn't go through a few minutes before we realized all those around us were actually watching!!! Every passer by turned his head to look. It's the first time I experienced something like this being shown so openly. And it didn't seem awkward to them to watch people eating. One of them Indians even pointed at us while talking to his friends...Finally we decided this was too much to be watched and went to park somewhere quiet... when we realized we were followed by an Omani guy who parked right before us in order to watch. Now that was an ultimate shock to me!! Yet my friends said this was nothing... if I go to university here I'll experience many things of this sort coming from guys over here. There my usual thoughts mapassed my mind. Have they nothing better to do? Or is watching girls eating that interesting to them?...I seriously thought how shallow could a mind get?...Maybe I'm beginning to know... cuz honestly... I've never seen anything like this before...interesting

Shabab (New Omani Singers)

Hectic days have passed and now it's hectic that they've passed. A few days ago during the exams I felt more relaxed than I do now. I'm somehow not looking forward to a long holiday.
I'll leave it at that however, let the days surprise me.

Shabab

I'm usually not a great fan of Arabic songs because they all usually have the same continuous beats and the same style in repeating words that makes them sound worse than nursery rhymes. But recently my friend introduced some Omani singers to me who've created a few albums and I realized they're getting better. I actually liked quite a few songs they had and realized how what they said was so true about Oman :p... and of course I was proud they were Omanies after all.

What I see sometimes from many around... is if they hear a few songs that don't impress them, they suddenly conclude all songs that belong to that language (I say language because gender is a different issue) isn't all that. And I do understand since I was like that myself. However, after listening to a few Arabic songs my friends labelled as their favs. I saw it was a shallow way to judge that such songs are and will always be crap. I decided to give them a chance. And I did turn out to like them after all. I used to hate such songs... cuz the Arabs really did the worst songs some time ago... now they're finally improving... so I hope the improvement goes on :)

I've a lot to say, but I guess it's better I update gradually... after all I've got all the time in the world now.

Been a While...

Sooo I guess I'll have to update after all... somehow I'm too scared to change the template of this blog and lose all my data :os... I'm gonna have to figure out how exactly it's done before I get on with it...

well it's been a while since I uploaded any of my recent artworks...

Nope!... it doesn't end here... dear bro moomad felt like fiddling around with this piece some time ago :p... and I must say he's done quite a good job...

Would you look at that!!...lol... I guess I'll leave him to fiddle with whatever he likes then... I really liked the improvement there :p

For the rest it's:

Dunno but I just liked this one!!

annnd lastly... another character...

All of them are just trials I'm going through to improve my character for my next book... The Exes II... I want to take out the anime look somehow and make it look more realistic... that I hope to reach somehow... (I wish JayJay was here to give me her opinion :( :(... I highly value it!!!... so JayJay, if you're out there please show yourself...lol)

Well... today I feel ....ok I guess... a bit preoccupied and ignoring it on one side... a bit moody on the other.... perhaps a mixture of feelings there... nothing specific...

well I hope you like what you see above :p...

exams are in a 2 weeks *panics*... (what in the world am I doing here?)

So that's it?... It's over?

Yes... Today was the last normal day of school... the last day I'll be carrying my bag full of books into that building again... the last time I'll be having lessons with my friends, the last time I'll be coming in the morning and leaving at 2 pm. The last time I wear this uniform!!!...
The last time I have to abide by certain school rules! ... it's the last breath of youth I have left...
now... I just feel different... and the difference I feel does not provide me with a peaceful state of mind...

Usually in school I knew the way I was to follow... simply cuz my job was to pass classes to reach where I am now!... and now that I've reached this stage... the road suddenly splits into several pathways I find hard to choose from.
I confess I am TERRIBLE in knowing my way... :(... I confess even more, I'm terrible in considering what others have to say about my way. So here I am... and for once, I don't want opinions or advices or lectures... I want information... I want to know where I stand now and what I'm supposed to do exactly... I want this laziness in me to go away and push me to figure out what I need to know to make my decisions and suit myself... I feel like a little chick trying to break off that egg-shell... the chances of it breaking depends on how much force the chick exerts on it... the force here would be reperesented by marks... the more marks I collect the greater the force there would be for me to break that shell... but breaking that shell would also mean a lot more... it would mean more challenging battles to fight regarding more difficult issues... that's when I remember some people saying... "I wish that having to study was the only problem I had"... making known that studying was supposed to be the least of problems... now I understand what they mean... and though I dread the future and the possibility of its outcome... I can just hope for the best and dwell on past memories I can cherish :)...

may all those who pass through the same stage next year find their way with less struggles and more achievements :)... cheers to everyone... and happy end of school day!!...

Make the Effort

Sometimes I wonder through thoughts far away
About how my life turned out to be
And though I'm not sure what happened today
There're things I would still just like to see
And try to think what I'm meaning to say
About what goes on around the world and me
Try to follow and think what I say
That I feel too much for anyone to see
My thoughts keep coming and then drift away
About the things that most of all bother me
I'm a girl of persistance and yet if you may
You would see that it's not always true to be
That I fret from the worst and I think that I may
Be wrong all along throughout my way

I have played my part and did all that I could
To keep the music playing and keep playing around
Yet sometimes I sit thinking that it could or it would
Stop playing the tunes and just seize that great sound
Just as one part can play like the other part should
But one part alone will just flow underground
Cuz then all the rest of the puzzle's just wood
And the rest of its pieces would hardly be found
It is hard to keep going this way, it's no good
Two players should play if the game is then bound
Otherwise the outcome has not yet stood
The test that was given to pass the first round

This Month

I've a lot to update somehow... will start gradually then...

Sawadi

last week or earlier Stella, me, her sisters and some friends went to Sawadi... it was my first time going there to be honest... but as we entered we saw quite an interesting sight.. namely many people walking around half-naked before the reception area :os :os ... I might've understood if they came from the pool... but this was more like old ladies wearing high-heels with only a T-shirt on and no pants!!... they left the hotel with their luggage and Stella looked dumbstruck wondering if they were actually going out like that...
Next we waited longer than necessary because they didn't want to give us a room we booked previously for 4 people because we were around 6... it was ridiculous since we told the lady we weren't going to sleep there... we just needed the room to leave our things and chill, but the woman rejected giving us quite an impolite scowl... *I thought why the hell was she there if she didn't like her job?*
anyways... after paying a few riyals extra considering the two other girls as guests... though if it was for me I wouldn't have paid :rolleyes:... we took the room and sat a moment trying to plan what we were going to do first... obvious isn't it? Straight to the Jetskis :p (again my first time).... we took two jetskis and the drivers had to sign... so it was Stella, her sis, her sis's friend and I who signed... Stella didn't know I did though, she claimed that she wouldn't trust riding with me because I speed too much... well here we'll see the scardy-cat actually turning wild a few hours later...
So I rode behind Stella who (without doubt) started off as slowly as possible... while her older sis sped up like there was no tomorrow ... one would expect my expression to be like >> :/ ... (I had the urge to take over somehow... but I left her to it and tried to encourage her to go faster...
yet behold, that was only the first try... I rode once with Stella and next with her sis... (and yes, there was a big difference :p...lol... at first)... next after going to the restaurant to eat... we came back again... back with new spirits... -perhaps full tummies make a difference- because there's when I saw Stella's new side!!... When I took control of one Jetski and she took control of the other...
The guy asked whether I knew how to ride and I said no, it's my first time... then he offered to ride with me and I said hell no!!... I'd prefer to go alone... he certainly didn't know me... I had difficulties starting that machine for a while until I realized I had to press slowly on the gas... and BAM!!... the motor worked and this time there was no mercy... lol... I experimented a little bit and changed speeds when I saw Stella speeding next to me asking for a race... a race... with Stella?!!... (you should've seen the grin on my face... thinking that even the slowest turtle could beat her...)... therefore I actually didn't speed as I would've... and there I learnt one should never underestimate!!... her jetski sped up like crazy!! I spent time wondering about what I just saw before I realized I was losing... and yes... I lost the first round...



The second round came soon... and having studied my opponent previously I managed to win this time :p... so that made us quits and engraved a big note on my head... I started wondering about Stella... and thought... perhaps I should be careful...:p..lol
Well next we went to the restaurant again... NO... not to eat... we don't have THAT much of digestion power... we went to play snooker before they closed... with one of Stella's sis's friends...
once more I lose in the first round and win in the next... it was like a pattern...

a few minutes later we just called it a day and went back home... yet... it is a day to remember :D... and it still remains a record in my mind... the first day I saw Stella show her wild side :p... bless you all :)...

The sk8er_girl :p

Alright... so it is that my friend's younger sister's crazy about skating boards... she's just offered to show me a few stunts someone captured (which looks quite difficult to do)... but the positions are amazing... as you see bellow :p


A bit above the ground... god knows where she jumped from!


Now that's a fine stunt innit? :p... (wonder how you did that!)


I'm curious to know what happened after this was taken... fell over? :p


Alright, the show's over... go back home!

That's sk8er girl for you... till the next show....

Bandar Rowtha

So it is that I haven't updated this blog for a while... my apologies to all... my computer broke down and I had to go use a different one every time I wanted to go online... nevertheless, back to business..

It was only yesterday that my class and I went on a yacht trip... that was a whole new experience to most of us... an experience I personally would love to try again which others rather not... that is because almost half of the class threw up on our way to sea... (sea sick is it?) ... I do admit the ride was quite bumpy... but to me that was the fun of it all :p... you see the yacht going unsteady and everyone trying to hold on tight to avoid falling over...
One of them however described me as a show-off just cuz I felt like standing and didn't throw up :p... now I wondered whether I should have play pretended to be sick just to please them :rolleyes: ...
although aside from that... since we were actually going to see dolphins, none showed up... or perhaps we were all too busy keeping steady to realize... it was sunny but there was a cold wind always blowing... so good weather all in all... and I did manage to take some pics that I could share here down below:


This was a different yacht... ours was a bit smaller (by the name of "Lubna")... however with the same kind of architecture as this one :D... (I just remembered I should've taken a pic of the yacht itself... argh... *smack* )


A rock that fascinated me... erosion has its effects :D... that shape's something...


Aboard the ship... meditating

That's just three out of a collection... but you get the picture anyway... after all it was fun and I did enjoy it all the way... I consider it the best trip we ever had :D... best and last I'm afraid... but all worth it :)

This Week's Work

Some are random and some are from my book... They're just simple ones I'm not exactly concentrating on especially when it comes to the coloring... I'm always concerned about getting their positions right instead... so far the progress isn't bad really... I was pretty happy with how the third one turned out to be... proportions are always a problem when you take nothing as an example... however, the overall result is close to the correct measurements I hope...

Tagged :)

Been tagged by Arabian Prince !
Those questions are a bit challenging... however, here goes:

Eight weird things about me:
1. That I could either eat endlessly or not eat at all when I set my mind to it.
2. That I could draw something for 5 minutes that'll turn out better than something I've been busy with for hours.
3. That I laugh or sing whenever I'm nervous or scared...
4. That I laugh at lameness BECAUSE it's lame...
5. That I could play an RPG game I like for days, non-stop... (and I'm not kidding) ... the longest I played was 3 days, only taking breaks for meals...
6. That I could read a book non-stop... the longest was a whole day, only reading...
7. That I could listen to music I like over and over a zillion times until I have enough. Then I wouldn't want to listen to it again.
8. That I could be extremely rude to people I dislike...

Eight attributes of my perfect other significant:
1. Someone I can interact with...
2. Someone caring and understanding...
3. Someone with the same or higher intellegance level. :p
4. Has to be open-minded... and open for discussions...
5. Someone who respects me as much as I respect him...
6. Someone responsible and mature...
7. Someone who doesn't get influenced by what others tell him but rather thinks for himself.
8. Someone who trusts and is trustworthy.
(I guess those are the essential attributes... too demanding? :p ... well, course no one's perfect... anyone close to that will do :p)

I tag:
- Nabs
- Kazablanka
- Violet
- SteLLa
- X-nezitic

I met her.... Finally!!

Yesterday was as usual a day as always, I woke up without the slightest clue what I was going to do for the rest of the day. However after lunchtime I just couldn't stand sitting around especially since the net over here wasn't all that efficient... so I went over to my friends Jay and Violet.
After spending some time there we finally decided to go for a cruise in the car and pick up a girl. Yeah, a girl I was eager to meet some time ago... I guess the thought of my eagerness probably freaked the hell out of her I must say, she went extra home to get ready for me :os...however, if you ask me even without all the preparations she would've looked just fine. Sorry? Who was it?...Welll...Behold!! It was the one and only "Kazablanka!!"
Oh no, if some would've imagined I was awaiting a green monster with orange hair, you are by all means mistaken. It was actually a pretty girl that got in the car right next to me... yet within that girl was the humour of the Kaza you all know! :D ...
Seriously speaking.... who would come in a car and request all at once for the driver to play her new cassette? :p... oh you don't want to know what it played... never mind that.

All in all it was a lovely night I enjoyed! I'm quite happy now, after having almost killed Violet with my continuous demmands to bring her. Violet and Jay? Yeah, they were the audience in the back of the car...
It turned out well though and I'm glad to have met her at last :D... cheers to Kaza... and hope we'll meet again soon inshalla...

More Drawings

As much as I may bore you with this there are two more drawings I made I'd like to share...



pencil, pen, then water colors... hope you like them...

Listen To Your Heart

I was just in the mood to draw something new in paint again... the results were as follows:



This was edited in photoshop...



was trying out different effects... :



Somehow this one didn't seem too bad :p

Oh well... just the beginning I guess.... hope it serves anyway... :)

Relaxed

This was done 2 days ago... despite the relaxed atmosphere I was actually a bit stressed when I drew it... cuz I was supposed to be studying instead... but I know that under stress the only thing I could do is work on something I'm good at to get rid of it... once I'm satisfied and the stress is gone I'll complete what I started out with...
It may seem strange to some that the best drawings and sketches I've made were done in times of exams... or between finals... I've showed none here so far... until I find them in my computer I'll upload them here... as for now, I completed this and am pretty relaxed at the moment :p...
hope ya like it....

Relaxed's Steps... altered by Nabs..



Final result:



Much improved innit? :D... guess the added effects make all the difference, my thanks to dear Nabs once again ... quite the designer!... :)

You'll Pay/ Insanity

Yes, I made two drawings this week... the first was for practice and the second to express myself :p...
Although the first one took me much longer I somehow like the second one better...
Hope y' all like at least one of them anyway :p

I wish I were...

I wish I were a shining star
Emerging through the dark of space
I wish I were a burning light
Just shooting forms in lines of rays
I wish I were in lands so far
Where time would stop its timeless race
And yet I wish to live a life
Of harmony where music plays

I wish I were a heartless fool
Where deep emotions have no place
For if I were as she is now
I'd feel remorse from what she says
Of sorrows that arouse her pain
Or from tomorrow's evil case
Nothing will remain the same
Nothing goes and nothing stays

TripleTee

I don't even know what I'm trying to say here... it's as random as can be... came out of the blue... so i guess I'll figure out later :os :os ...

Not alone...

Yes, I was bored out of my mind and not exactly in the best of moods due to two things... 1. I still can't scan my drawings & 2. My photoshop program just won't work... so I ended up drawing this image in paint... yeah, the normal paint -outlining with the mouse... I must say it took me quite a while for the guy sitting in the corner... but the rest was pretty easy, nothin much to it... excuse the funky colors... hope you like it anyway....

No Fear

There goes another attempt on my old style :p... only I changed the way i used to color them... first by pencil then by ink and last by watercolors... I'm guessing it looks better than the previous ones only took me much longer to decide on the shadings... 'course some tips from dear nabs helped :D.... hope it serves....
