It’s Getting Hot in Here

This scorching heat these days is becoming unbearable. I don’t enjoy the luxury of having a parking space at work and therefore, I have to park outside. Once working hours are over, the cars turn into blazing ovens. My hands, and my A$$ become extra crispy by the time I reach home. Thank God my car is not Black! You’d think that the heat subsides at night, think again!.

July is usually one of my favorite months of the year. Why? I was born in July. July marks the begging of the end of the year. Sort of a count-down since we crossed the middle of 2008. I will be applying for the Sheikh Rashid award for higher education achievement as soon as I find time to go to DXB.

Sheesh, though I am not married, don’t have kids, I feel I’ve been running like a beast in the wilderness. I am suppose to complete this paper before the 10th, attend a ceremony on Thursday at Shangri-La hotel Abu Dhabi, work on home improvement stuff since Mom is abroad, look for a new job !!!

Yes, I am on the look. I realized that I am way undervalued at my current job. I am not getting paid like I should be and believe me, life is not getting easy. Our head of department keeps teasing me and insisting that I should get married to have a promotion. I think he is jealous because of the fact that I am free like a bird. Who cares?! Plus, my mind is made up about this issue.

4th of July is a very special day in the U.S of A. every city, town, suburb celebrates the birth of an idea and flirt with the American dream as they watch the fireworks. Americans have a cool way of celebrating their independence day. They just know how to PaR-Taaay without the added FAT. When before celebration, you’d see houses decorating for the event. Flags flying on poles, events and sale in all malls.


We don’t have this here in UAE. . . . I wonder why. The only thing our BALADIAh is good at is the BATTANI style (3engash) lights that they spread around. Abu Dhabi suddenly become similar to Vegas. I hate the fact that Buildings have to decorate like a bride on her wedding night . Nages bass yelabsoon the building next a BISHT and CANDOORA. . . At malls in UAE, no form of independence celebration takes place, nothing, zip, nada, zilch, zero !
Westerns think that we are preparing for Christmas with all the lights flashing around on December 2nd. The lights idea is just stupid because it conserve LOTS of energy and it is not coordinated nicely. . .

I love my country but I hate to see careless people taking charge of independance day celebration on December 2nd.

One time in U.S.A. a friend of mine invited me and other to come and watch the fireworks from the Jacuzzi tub placed on the terrace of his place. I miss those days, I miss the U.S. and my friends over there I had the best 5 years of my life there.

Anyways, I should get back to that paper that I’m suppose to finish.
Enjoy.
