Im not sure how to start, so I will just start. Lately I have been watching a lot of anime, I cant help it. It seems like all I want to do.
Specifically im addicted to this really childish anime. You could compare it to the power rangers… Yet I can relate to it!
The concept goes something like this “ All kids have an Egg in their heart, the egg of their dreams, their would be selves” (childish I know)
So we basically have an Egg in ourselves, this egg contains what we dream of and represent what we want to be. In the anime, some children’s wants are so powerful that the egg comes out of their heart and hatches into guardians. (if your still reading I applaud you) Sometimes some children want to achieve their dreams so badly but just cant, mostly because they don’t believe in themselves, those eggs turns blacks, gets an X mark on them and becomes harmful to the children and in some cases others as well. In the anime those kids grow up to be goal-less adults walking through life without ever enjoying it. So its up to all guardians to protect children’s eggs and prevent them for turning black/ or save the black eggs.
Somehow this feels similar, Childrens dream, some of them shine, some of them fall and never get back up.
Back to the anime, there are 2 characters I can really relate to …
1st is actually the bad guy of the anime, An evil scientist that preys on weak children and causes their eggs to turn black, crushing them. His story was that he wanted to be a professor one day and create an amazing type of robot, He really wanted it, so his dream egg came out, but before the egg could hatch into a guardian, it was accidentally crushed by one of his failure robots, slowly due to time he was forced to give up on his dream due to societal and parental pressures, his egg never returned. I guess you can say failures are deadly if you do not know how to pick yourself up after one.
The 2nd character I can relate to is a stray cat like boy, who is so indifferent yet so not. Someone who keeps quite and keeps everything to himself because of the fear of getting hurt or hurting others. Someone who cant seem to place importance in himself yet places importance in others.
These seem like negative things for me to relate to, but I’m at a point in my life where I need something I can relate to, I need to understand what im feeling, because right now a lot of things to me just don’t make sense, and the more I question them, the more I get sting or at the very least a bunch of angry screams.
I know its all in my hand, but I don’t have the motivation to do anything about it, I seem to have lost that, along with reason.
Im not too sure how I am going to try to understand
I could be facing the worst reality check, but I don’t want to accept it. Why cant I dream, just for a bit longer?

Cracked this morning worst and weak
Tears roll down from inside my cheek
Strange timing
Oppurtunity knocks
Sun comes up, paradox
Don't ask me if I'm hungry
I'm not sick
Somethings tearing me up
Brick by brick
And I feel guilty
as I sigh
I'm feeling guilty
Why do I?
Cracked this morning
worse and sad
Or have I already told you that
Forget my plans to grow a vine
You wern't dressed to burn these thoughts of mine
Tears roll down from inside my cheek
Strange timing
Oppurtunity knocks

Don't ask me if I'm hungry

pardon me while I burstinto flames.
I've had enough of the world
and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burnand rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me...I'll never be the same!
Pardon me while I burst...
I need you to hear,
I need you to see
that I have had all I can take
and exploding seems like a
DEFINITE possibility to me.

Reflecting-questions-extermly random
Of late I have been asking people these questions that I have been asking myself, I never did tell anyone my answers but I am going to post some of them here now.
1) What are things I learnt from others this/last year?
Something I learnt last year is that always have a plan, making a plan only takes about 5 minutes, but it is the key to having a successful event, career, session, outing.
I learnt the importance of relevance and roles, everything in your life has to have a role, a purpose and if it doesnt then it shouldnt be in my life, or if it has a negative role it shouldn’t be in my life as well.
There is always a way to link A to B, I just have to find that link
2) What is something I want to teach people?
I want to teach people to never give up and to keep trying, I am a strong believer in second chances, mainly because I always get a second chance, and sometimes that is maybe all I need, a second chance.
3) What is something I learnt by myself?
I learnt I need to fail, I really did hurt to fail, It sucks that I had to fail really badly just to realize things about myself I didnt know, but I needed it, mainly because it made me aware of alot of things, also its because I need to learn how to deal with failure and how to pick up the lessons learnt and move on. Which I can be bad at doing sometimes
I learnt that I am not ready for alot of things, but I want to do them anyways mainly because I am not ready. I lost the fear of tasking on a task I know nothing about, because I know I will be able to work my way through
I guess for me these are the 3 main questions that I really felt like sharing.

Invested time
I will try to keep this post short,
I really want to thank all that invested time in me, All those late night cups of coffee and ice cream eating sessions.
Or maybe long phone calls or chats online. Cool chill outs at DQ, Papa Johns or Jasmis. Long drives or walks in the souq.
Or checking out good looking khabas guys.... It all means a lot to me.
So I just need to thank all those that invested time in me in 2007, before 2007 ends.

Thinking out loud
Reflecting Back .. just some random thoughts
Sitting at my desk at work, counting down the days before the year ends, I am really thankful as to how this year has turned out.
Currently listening to Orinoco flow by Enya, work will end in about an Hour. After that I have a mid term and extra classes. Currently my schedule is over packed with alot of things to do.
Thinking back, the year was filled with alot of memorable occasions, more like memorable places or conversations that I can always go back to reflect on. When the year began the only 2 goals I set for myself are to get my license and to try and find sponsorship for university. I am sad to admit that I did not do both, however the time I spent doing alot of other things, to me right now I feel was well worth it.
Now my year is ending, what really happened last year shouldn't really matter right? Or should it?
I guess I should sit with myself on the 31st and have a big reflect ... I should probably use the eid holidays to set expectations and goals for myself for next year ... and oh yeah the license and the sponsorship are 2 of the many things I should do.
So hats off to a rocky 07 ... 41 days left for me to enjoy the year.

IC 2007
This could be long ….
My First IC Experience started with me waiting in the airport for 9 hours to be picked up by the CC (Congress Committee). Fortunately I had met up with the Sri Lankan IC Delegates and the You Can Brazil delegates as well, so the wait without food or sleep was bearable.
Being in Turkey challenged me in many different ways. It was mostly about self realization, coming to terms with what I am not capable of doing and how can I improve myself. It's weird because being at IC, I could definitely say that I was really frustrated and very happy at the same time. Frustration could have been due to some sort of cultural shock, but IC was truly an interesting experience. An over all "great" in my books.
Some sessions weren't very interesting, but some I enjoyed. My highlight of IC was meeting amazing people and having amazing conversations with them. On the last Day of the conference I had an amazing conversation with the current 07/08 VP X. It was one hell of a conversation for me to speak to someone who is so passionate about Exchange. That’s motivation stamped all over me.
The country that I felt in love with is Malta, The Maltase where just so easy to get along with. That is one new country I want to visit in the near future. I am also very proud of the Bahraini Delegation. I Think they really represented Bahrain in the Best Manner. A country That I also Admire is Germany for the efforts they are putting into expanding into the middle east. I think they are doing an amazing Job.
Of coarse this is no all I have to say about IC. But its just an overview of what my IC experience was like and what are my main feelings about IC.

If I could sing out a song right now for you, Just explain how im feeling it would be Wind by Akeboshi .. lyric are below
Cultivate your hunger before you idealize.
Motivate your anger to make them all realize.
Climbing the mountain, never coming down.
Break into the contents, never falling down.
My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve,
Sneaking out of the classroom, by the back door.
A man railed at me twice though, but I didn't care.
Waiting is wasting for people like me.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't try with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.
You say, "Dreams are dreams.
"I ain't gonna play the fool anymore."
You say, "'Cause I still got my soul."
Take your time, baby, your blood needs slowing down.
Breach your soul to reach yourself before you gloom.
Reflection of fear makes shadows of nothing, shadows of nothing.
You still are blind, if you see a winding road,
'Cause there's always a straight way to the point you see.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't try with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.
Cultivate your hunger before you idealize.
Motivate your anger to make them all realize.

July started with me saying goodbye to 3 amazing people. I guess this is the hardest part of AIESEC to say goodbye to people and to thank people about the effect they had in your life.
To John, Claude and Lyna, Thank you for the impact you had in my life, and good luck in the next steps of your lives, you have my support.
Words can't express my feelings towards the 3 of you.

June
The 3 days in June I would remember
26th June - First Day of Natco, Skipping the whole amazing day and going to the highlight of that day. For me it was receiving a recognition, I accidentally saw my name just before they where going to be announcing the final recognition and I had no idea that I was being considered, hearing all those amazing things being said to me and having the guys behind me whispering things to me clam me down .. It was great.
27th June - Second Day of Natco, our guest speaker (Amal) was amazing. Reflecting back on the day my only thoughts of the day where I am going to work on my presentation skills until they reach Amal's level and I will do my best a VP X.
28th June - Last Day of Natco, reality started to sink in today, I was extremely nervous about allocation of people into teams, I think in the end I got an amazing X Team, I said goodbye to a few X members but I'm welcoming in a lot. There are a lot of memories on that day, mostly ones of when I first start AIESEC. We ended the day with singing like mad, just one of those time I can look across the room and actually feel comfortable with the people around me.

2 years in Infocall!
Today the 7th of June 2007 I have officially completed working in Infocall for 2 years. For those who do not know, Infocall is the first and only company I have worked with .. So completing 2 whole years with Infocall means that I have successfully been independent for 2 years!
Thinking back, these past 2 years have taught me a lot ... I have been tested in so many ways ... and every time I was angry and every time I taught I could not handling the stress, the pressure or the problems I would stop take an hour to clear my head and continue. I have no idea what made me continue… It has been the toughest 2 years of my life and now sitting here my only thought is yes I have made it through 2 years, yes I can do this. I AM doing fine...
But I have to admit it has been an amazing 2 years, dispute the ugly side of the 2 years there where happy times and I did learn a lot, and I am thankful.
There are people that I just have to mention today ...
1) Roydon - An excellent Boss and friend
2) Mark - Exactly the Same as Roydon
3) Daryl - A fellow team member ... The person who I sit and trouble every morning ..
4) Rana - I knew better by working with you than I did in school .. I will miss you when you leave
5) Jomaya - I know you for 11 years!!!! we where in class together now we work together
6) Safiya - Safiya your an idiot ... but I admire your strength your a survivor .
Lastly
7) Shuhrah - Yeah your cool .. your completely different that what I thought you where
We have 3 new additions to the team Hala, Eman and Arif .. looking forward to getting to know these people ....
My Infocall team ... the people that see me 10 hours a day straight .... Im glad I got to know and work with you all ....

Reflecting Back
This post is just to reflect back on the previous 5 months of this year ...
It's June now .. the 6th month of the year which means that there are only 6 months left for the year to end ... How has the year been so far?
Lets Find out …
January - The year started with me traveling .. I was in UAE on the 1st of Jan ... I missed the birthday of 2 of my good friends, but I was forgiven ... I was actually Not looking forward to the year but that’s changed now... on about the 3rd of Jan I traveled to Thailand ... It was amazing and fun .. But I hated the shopping for clothes part but I enjoyed buying a lot of weird things! I'm glad I got to see Thailand.
February - AIESEC work had just start, I helped with the recruitment marketing materials and OC-ed for the Desert Rose conference .. I am sure that there where more projects I worked on but this is all I can remember at the moment. These projects/Events stood out.
March - Oh March is a month to remember ... Going to Morocco MENA LDS .. I will never forget March '07 ... and I also remember helping John (an AIESECer from Australia and one of the 3 AIESECers that manages AIESEC Bahrain on a National Level) search for students abroad to fill in our first newly raised internship here in Bahrain. Words cannot explain what I felt in march. Another person I have to mention is my mate Lyna .. I guess she added to the magic of March (and February ..).
April - I know that there where things that happened in April .. recruitment was going on, and Handled my own Mini training session. But you could say April was a resting period for me.
May - Another month that was crazy, It started off with me going to the Bahrain International Travel Expo (BITE) representing my Beloved Organization AIESEC , Helped an AIESECer called Aysha with the marketing Material for an upcoming conference and she and other AIESECers are organizing, Then there was the induction capstone conference ( this was a conference for the new AIESEC members) , the FAMA Awards which was organized by my friend .. It was fun to attend, there was also AIESEC E-Board elections taking place .. I ran for the position Vice President of Exchange (on a Local Committee Level) ... Running for the VP position was nerve wrecking, I was so nervous on the day ... but I so happy because I got it! Lastly .. the last event of May was the Youth Round Table .. This is some thing that my mate John has been working on for a while, I was amazed to see how an idea had been brought to life .. I got a lot of motivation from that conference ..
Now I await to see what June brings .. I have a feeling it is going to be an amazing month as well…

Morals, Morals and Morals.
I can't seem to get that word out of my head. To me morals and values are something are more big than religion. I dont know why but lately it's the first thing I think of when I get up, and the thoughts keep coming until I fall asleep. I dont know, maybe I am becoming religious without even realizing it ... well I have no idea, this is the only thing on my mind right now.

What should I do? What should I do?
Been faced with a lot of tough decisions lately.
should I do something that will make me happy or should do the things that others think will make me happy? I'm really an easy going person, but lately I have been have trouble with whether I should do the correct thing for me or do the "morally correct thing", and the correct thing for me may not be the best for other people. I hate lying or being manipulative, plus I was never good at lying may be a bit ok with BS'ing but not lying. A lot of people have been telling me if you want to live a good and peaceful life you have to lie a little, Take what you want in anyway possible. Should I lie and manipulate people to my will? or should I just be honest and straight to the point? All I do have in my life are my morals ... and if I abandon them now then what happens next. Life would be so much easier if I just lied but I don't think I would be fully content with myself if I did lie ... in the end it is my morals and values that I do stick by. How can I tell these people that I am not want they want me to be? what path should I take to find my inner and outter peace ....

Summer is back!
I not sure if I should jump in joy or sulk and curse. Although the heat may be excruciating one can't help but be happy. So many pool dates have been set, and many more to come. The fridge seems to be stock pilled with Ice cream and the Air conditioners are all on full blast...
Cursing the fact that I have work and university but hey my goal this summer is to have fun ....
Imagen ... taking over the living room ... I got resident playing on mute on the television ... Bleach playing on my laptop ... the AC switched on... full blast ... the room is not too bright but not too dull ... just laying around enjoying the fact that I am wasting time .. eating Ice cream while wrapped up in a blanket.... to me that sounds like a fun dream .. add some music to the background .. Drive by incubus ....
Sigh* that would be so cool to do this summer ... apart from pools and ice skating ... just relaxing ..

Imagen ... taking over the living room ... I got resident playing on mute on the television ... Bleach playing on my laptop ... the AC switched on... full blast ... the room is not too bright but not too dull ... just laying around enjoying the fact that I am wasting time .. eating Ice cream while wrapped up in a blanket.... to me that sounds like a fun dream .. add some music to the background .. Drive by incubus ....
Sigh* that would be so cool to do this summer ... apart from pools and ice skating ... just relaxing ..

im loyal to coffee bean and tea leaf
4 months into this year have gone by so fast! University is out so been hanging out with my mates every night. We have made it our personal mission to search for the best coffee place here in bahrain. And .... we found it! " coffee bean and tea leaf " is the best! serious that place is amazing! Its so addictive that people could suffer from gluttony! God bless the creators of that company. What took you guys so long to start up in bahrain! And forget that the coffee is great, the tea is great also! I love you coffee bean and tea leaf .... you mini heaven on an island ... sip* hmm thats what i call good coffee

" I am sad to leave this wonderful team but change is a fact of life , we do not get where we want to get without change. ".... Then left the greatest Manager I have known so far in my professional career. I have only had 2 general managers so far and both of them where extremes. One you couldnt help hating and one of them you couldnt help loving. We had celebrated when the one we hated had left and saddend for the one we love. But like he said change is a fact of life.... But excuse me for being a pessimist at the moment but i know that with him gone you can say we are pretty much screwed. Damn the office politics ...
But going back to my G.M leaving ... reminds me of the few people i will have to say goodbye too very soon. I dread that deeply. My good friend is going away to study. I honestly will not be used to having her not around. we practically lived in each others houses since grade 7. prob the hardest good bye. Unsure if she'll be back during summers tooo.
I also would have to say good bye to 3 other people too. one of them is a person who i have come deeply to respect. The other 2 i admire alot also.
I dnt think any of the people i have mentioned in this post actually know that played an important part into developing me into the person I am right now. I feel like I know the greatest people in the world and I had the oppourtunity to sit and spend alot of time with them.
very soon il be saying goodbye ... I hope the goodbye list doesnt increase...

Sessions
Sessions for the MENA LDS where great, But the sessions that i will be mostly remember are the Bridging the Gap session and " the secret " I wish much more time could be allocated to these session!
Bridging the Gap is very important to me! Alot more than people know it! I aim to break down as many stereotypes as I can! Even my own personal stereotypes! And the MENA LDS really helped with breaking those stereotypes! Not only did I find that I had the wrong opinion about a certain group! I found out that they also had a wrong opinion about me, and personally it meant alot to mean to find out I myself have developed stereotypes without realizing it! and im glad I am now aware of it and when ever possible I would like to " bridge the Gap " between groups, countries or individuals. It is that important to me.
Going through the session "the secret" just reminded me the importance of being positive in any situation! And i generally am a very positive person but sometimes you just seem to forget that and concentrate on everything bad that has happened! But honestly I would rather say how fascinating after something bad has happened, then say why me! Why because your a much happier person when your positive then negative! If you manage to lose your money, and will in deep shit when you go home but your positive then your happy and when your happy you feel like you can take over the world (metaphorically speaking of coarse) or in simple terms deal with problems around you more easily. That is what the session "the secret" reminded me about. (although I can say I was a bit hesitant to apply the think positively idea in the begining cos I was an idiot I later on did and I worked well)
