Google Tools Project Reflection ،,~

During this semester, we did different projects in MIS and one of them was about giving a training session on Google Tools for the class mates. Each student was assigned a topic to present about and mine was about Firefox with Gmail Add-ons. Actually, I have always heard about Firefox, but never used it. So, I was curious to learn the topic and it was really easy like any other searching browser, but the thing which makes it different from the other browser is the Add-ons. These are very interesting and useful application that makes our searching easier. There were many add-ons related to Gmail, and I downloaded the Gspace add-on which is in other form an online hard drive to store our materials. I explained it to my classmates, and some found it really interesting as i did =D. It was my first time to give a training session, so I was very nervous, but overall I’ve enjoyed searching, preparing and training.

I have attended all my classmates sessions also, and I really can say that I have learned many things that I didn’t knew about, which could make my searching easier. I believe that Google tools project must have been given to us from year one, so that we will know different ways of searching Google, which could also help us in our projects.

After all my classmates finshied their taining sessions, Mr.Tridib gave us a session on Blogs; which is apart of Google tools, and i'll be talking about it in details below.


One of the most interesting tasks I’ve done in M I S course is writing blogs. At first, I thought it would boring to keep on writing anything I do, just to complete 10 posts that Mr. Tridib asked for assessing -_- lol. But once I’ve started writing my weekly activities, I got used to it and felt very interested to share my daily life ^_^

Actually, I’ve stopped writing my diary after grade six, but now I feel that my blog is my online diary where I can express and share my feelings and thoughts again, that’s why I called it “my own world”. At beginning, I didn’t knew how to use the blog properly, I just knew how to post pictures and color the text ^^". Once I’ve found myself interested in it, I kept exploring the blog and learned new stuffs and ways to improve my blog. In order to make it attractive, I designed my own blog banner and profile picture + all the pictures viewed in the posts are my own captures, I hope you'd like them *,^’

Moreover, I enjoyed reading my class mate’s blogs, some were carrying useful topics and the others were entertaining =D. The thing I liked most about all the blogs included mine =D that each of us wrote in her own style without sticking with formal English language, which showed each girls personality in some ways, i believe ^_^

Since I’ve loved my own world blog, inshallah I’ll keep on writing and updating my blog =)

Jiu-Jitsu ~


What is Jiu-Jitsu?
"Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a martial art developed with the concepts of leverage and technique at its core. Because it is easier to dominate an opponent by using the floor to assist in balance and control , most of the training in jiu-jitsu takes place on the ground. Being able to dominate and neutralize a larger, more aggressive opponent is a hallmark of the art. This is achieved through ground control positions and leverage-maximizing technique.

What can Jiu-Jitsu do for you?
Jiu-Jitsu students develop a deep understanding of the mechanics of the human skeletal and muscular systems. Using this knowledge they are able to subdue an attacker without causing him injury, should they so choose. Acquiring these skills is not easy, and requires mental and physical effort on the part of the student. The rewards however, are great, and include massive improvements in stamina, strength, flexibility and mental clarity. In addition to this, social skills are improved as a result of interacting with individuals and the group as a whole.

،,

I know you all will be wondering why i am talking about this sport !
And it is obviously that i don't play it =D
i even didn't knew about it ............... until my brother "Ahmed" joined the Emirates Jiu-Jitsu Team In Abu Dhabi 3years ago. He won several medals and participated in indoors and outdoors matches.

On Saturday 12th-Dec-2009, there was a live telecast for his match on Abu Dhabi Sport Channel. We were so excited to see him playing, so i took some shots from the TV while his was playing Jiu-Jitsu, to show you how the real match looks like =pP:











Unfortunately he couldn't do it this time =( !
But no worries, inshallah he'll do it next time *_^

Last Friday . . . . .

On 11th of December morning, i woke up and directly went my room's window to see the weather, it was very cloudy and rainy. i wake up my mom and told her: "Let's go picnic toady mom!", she was sort of confused what i was talking about=D. Then, when she saw the weather, she got excited and asked my father to take us to DIBA AL-FUJAIRAH, and luckily he agreed =D

My sister was supposed to attend a class in her school from 9am to 1 pm, since their exams are near and they didn't finish their book contents, so here was our problem. Thus, we decided to get all stuffs ready and we will pick her and directly go to the picnic from there, we really couldn't miss a weather like this for any reason =D

After picking up my sister, we went the ALTHEID union Co-op, the weather there was wonderful with cold air moving around ^,^ we bought some snacks and drinks and went to DIBA.













In our way to there, the rain started falling, we were so thrilled to find a suitable place to sit and have our lunch. Then, we chose a place and parked our can on the side of the road and had our lunch while the rain was falling, it was a very nice feeling, i loooooooove this weather ^,^

After that, we went around the place a took pictures, i was so afraid on my camera to get damage because of the rain, but my cam is faithful, he was fine during the rain and captured nice pics indeed =D

it was a pleasant day, i enjoyed with my family a lot ^_^

I hope that this weekend's weather will also be cloudy and rainy, so i can encourage my mom again to go for another picnic, but this time to HATTA!
I really hope so =D

Did you experience being a BANKER only for 3 days ?!

Q: Did you experience being a BANKER only for 3 days ?!
A: Yesssssss, i did =D
HoW?
Let me tell you *,^’

It was a great opportunity to participate in DWC 20th Bazaar event for continuously 3 days. As we are students from Finance major, we were involved in College's bank which sells DAWS (college currency). We were the only section in Higher Diploma year 3 to take part in this year's bazaar. I was in branch # 5 near the student center with my two friends Sara and Shaikha, we worked during these 3 day for whole 6 hours, from 9am to 3 pm. It was a wonderful experience to deal with people and exchange money.


The best day for me in the bazaar was the first day, i'll tell you why :

The morning of 8th of December; which was the first day of bazaar, was very bad, since the weather was unstable and the whole booth including our selves were full of dust -_-. After i've finished my shift at 3pm, i went to the main bank for balancing the money.

Then, my friend IMAN arrived at 4pm for her classes, which she didn't attend =D so, she took me for a round in the college with her new car. After that we went for a quick shopping in the bazaar ^,^

At 6pm, my friend RUOOF came specially from Abu Dhabi to attend the bazaar, i was really happy to see her after a long time. She brought my birthday gift which was a purple hair clip created by her own, with a wonderful card
!













i was very glad ^^"
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks dear ^_^
Then, We went around the college and bought some stuffs, RUOOF loves balloons and i wanted to bought one for her, but unfortunately it was finished =(
but overall, i enjoyed being with her a lot ^_^

That's why the first day of bazaar was especial for me, i got to see my 2 beloved friends ^_^
but i was sad for only one thing!
i couldn't get time to bring my Cam. to capture the moments, as i do every time =(
i hope i'll do next year, INSHALLA =D

the Twilight saga . . New Moon ~


Yesterday afternoon, i went to Grand Mercato Cinema to watch the movie [ New Moon ].

The previous semester, i remember Mona Alawar; my class mate saw twilight which is the first season, and she was so fond of the movie that she kept talking about it all the time and on the MSN =D. So, i got curious and excited at the same time to watch this movie, and it really worth it.

When i knew from my friends that the second season of twilight is releasing during Eid break, i was so happy; there is no other time better than this to watch this movie =D

So, i planned with my mother and sisters to go to this movie. We were supposed to reach the cinema at 1:15 pm since the movie is starting at 1:30, but unfortunately we stuck in traffic and reached there at 1:35. We were so sad because we thought that we've missed the starting. But when we went to buy the tickets, the counter lady told us that the movie have not started yet and it will start at 1:45, we were so cheerful and went to the hall directly with our pop corns and nachos =pP

Usually the second season of movies are boring, but this one was fabulous ! Since starting till end, the movie was WaaaaaaaaaaaaaaW. I didn't get bored not for a single moment, i just loved it. I won't tell you the story, you better watch it =D

I knew from my sister that there are two more seasons coming for this movie, and i am dying to watch it from now =D lol

< did you guys realize that from the stating of my post till now i am just praising the movie !! i hope New Moon's director watches this post =D looolz

I recommend my blog viewers =D to go and enjoy this wonderful movie, you'll really have a good time =)

To get more excited =D, watch the trailer:

~ [ New Moon Movie Trailer ] ~

Before going, i advice you that if you haven't watch the first season, watch it before you go to this, so that you will be aware of why such thing is happening and who is this guy and so on *_^
