A must drink!

Every day I must have my dose of caffeine or I guess I won’t be as productive as I want! My favorite is Starbucks drink; Iced-white mocha with caramel and no web cream. Its sweet flavored since it has white chocolate and milk in it, however, still it gives me the energy I need to wake me up. So each day I drive to Starbucks and my favorite part is the staff over there remembers my order so I don’t have to repeat it everyday. I recommend trying it cold with ice cubes in summer and hot in winter!

A special friend

Friday, 24th May, 2013

College life makes you spend more time with your friends and colleagues, during this time I’ve became very close to my dearest friend Rowdha. Her birthday is on 26^th May, so prior to her birthday I planned a birthday celebration which will take place at a fancy restaurant in Dubai and I invited our friends as well. I've selected Zuma restaurant for dinner, since I already tried it. I enjoyed the day with a great company and most importantly I enjoyed the Japanese delicious dishes we ordered.

Spa

My friend Rowdha and I share the love to relax and enjoy an entire day at the spa releasing the stress away. Therefore, I booked us an appointment at SensAsia Urban Spa at the Village on Jumeirah Beach Road. The treatment took 60 minutes however, we are free to stay after the massage to enjoy the spa facilities and drink a warm cup of tea. It was a day well spent and the spa was definitely worth trying!

The Great Gatsby 2013

The Great Gatsby movie which is based on a true story and a novel published back in 1925 written by American author. The movie was really great; it was about a young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and who played this role was Leonardo DiCaprio in the latest version released on 2013 among other famous movie crew such as Joel Edgerton and Tobey Maguire.  It is a drama, romance movie and the events started when the main character found himself drawn to the past and still attached and completely in love with whom once was his girlfriend but now is a married women. I found the ending a bit tragedy but the overall movie was very enjoyable. I recommend watching it!

RUSSO'S Pizza !!

The other day I’ve tried this new pizza place called “Russo’s pizza” at Jumeirah Center on Jumeirah Beach Road. What I can only say is that it was really good and reminded me of the pizza I ate at Venice!! The same Italian taste and crisp, plus, I liked the shape of the pizza as you can order the regular round shape pizza or a huge slice cut pizza. I’ve tried two different kinds of pizza vegetables and tomato mozzarella pizza, and I liked both. If you can’t visit their Jumeira branch then you should wait as they are opening soon at Sahara Center, Sharjah.

Red bull addict !!

Since everyone knows how much I love red bull, I have this announcement to all red bull lovers; there is new red bull in stores!! And I definitely recommend trying it. The new editions are silver, blue and red edition, and each one carries a different flavor of lime, blueberry and cranberry. It is the same energy drink for the same price but with additional flavor, my favorite was the blue and silver edition but I won’t choose any of them on a regular basis as I enjoy drinking the regular old red bull the most!  

Laduree's macarons!!

The best macaroons I have ever tasted are Laduree’s macaroons. They are the yummiest and most delicious, flavors are of all kinds and you will definitely like it, if you are into sweets and desserts. My favorite are: Vanilla, Pistachio and Rose. However, what I do like about Laduree is not only the taste of their sweets but also the gift boxes and packages as they offer a gift box for each season, for example, if you are willing to get someone a macaroon gift box soon then you should buy them the new summer edition which will be available from 23^rd of May at all Laduree’s shops.  

New Cafe!

I definitely recommend the new French café at Mercato Mall, as they have the most delicious homemade tiramisu cake in a jar! It is really tasty, light and well prepared. However, you can’t have it for take away as it made in a jar so you have to stay at the café to eat it. I say it’s worth the stay!   

Qatar for the weekend =D

Thursday, 9 - 11th May, 2013

Exactly what I needed for the weekend is just to go away, fly anywhere, and this is what I did! I went to Qatar with my older sister to visit my cousin Maitha over there. It was a great well spent weekend, it is my first time to visit Qatar and it was really different than what I imagined. I thought, it would be old and undeveloped, however, it was different with many interesting places to visit such as; Katara, The pearl and Souq Wagif.

Luckily, I went to all of them, what I liked about Katara was the delicious multi restaurants and the view of the sea around there. The pearl, is an amazing new investment project in Qatar, it includes all brands boutiques, various restaurants and cafes and rental apartments. I liked it because each part looks like a different country for example the marina view looks like France and the apartment view looks like Venice. Last but not least, Souq Wagif is one of the oldest places at Qatar, it is well known for its traditional garments, handicrafts, spices and souvenirs.       

First Job interview!

Monday, 6th May,2013

After applying for jobs at Dubai Career's Fair 2013, luckily I got my first job interview at ENOC. I had a class during the job interview time, however, I had to apologize and leave class to make it on time. When I first arrived there I was kind of nervous, since it is my first interview but after entering the conference room I was calm because I wanted them to get the first impression of me as a confident potential candidate. The job interview was short, about 15 minutes and the questions were direct and general and I was able to answer them all, plus I asked them if I’ll be having any training or development courses and they said that they do train their new employees during their first year. Well, I hope that I’ll hear from them soon or from any other company!    

Iron man 3

If you enjoy watching action movies then you won’t regret watching Iron man 3. I already watched the previous two parts so my expectations for this part were high and luckily, the movie was as I expected it to be GREAT! The director is Shane Black and as everyone knows the hero is Robert Downey. I liked everything about the movie except the fact it included a terrorist and talked about terrorism!

  

Field trip

Thurday,2nd May, 2013

I consider today the worst day ever, first I had no idea where are we going to visit as a field trip with the college I just knew that the bus is living at 8:30. So I woke up really early took a shower and went to college at 8:00!! But I was surprised when I arrived and saw no one from my class or my teacher. Finally, at 9:00 o’clock everyone arrived and we went to Dubai Ports at Jabal Ali.

We took approximately one hour to reach and I hated it, because of the bus driver driving and the traffic. Not only that, but also when we reached there the weather was really hot and sunny. They took us on a tour and later on we attended a pointless presentation! The only positive aspect of this boring field trip was the view of the huge ships at the port.

On her birthday!

Wednesday, 1st May, 2013

Finally, the day I was waiting for! After college immediately I went to party center at Jumeira to collect the balloons I ordered earlier and then went to my friend’s house after arranging with her sister everything. My friend’s reaction was what I hoped for, she was really happy and excited and the surprise was a success.

Later at night, I took her to Zuma restaurant for dinner, we order several dishes such as; tempura sushi, tempura shrimp, Zuma salad, grilled crab, sweet corn and vegetable noodles. I recommend every dish to all, it was really good and delicious. The surprise wasn’t done yet! After dinner while she thought we were waiting for the bill, the waitress approached our table carrying a huge plate of mix mini cakes while signing happy birthday to my friend!   

Dubai career fair

Tuesday, 30 April, 2013

It was compulsory to go to Career’s UAE exhibition at Dubai World Trade Center, since our teacher will take attendance over there. I thought it was a good idea since we are about to graduate soon and we need to start applying for jobs, therefore, I printed 20 of my personal CV and distributed them to several of private and government organizations. There were about 120 booths but I only visited few because of the crowd and time.

Some of the organizations required a printed CV, or an online form and CV attachment, or a right away job interview! I did all and hopefully will hear from them soon !

I need a break

Monday, 29 April,2013

I needed the day off from all of the work, projects and college stuff, so I spent my time at the saloon doing manicure & pedicure and then went back home to chill and stay with my family whom I don’t see much often because of my long busy day at college.

I went to tips & toes saloon at spinneys Jumeira, they are really good when it comes to nail arts and designs, however, I was too tired to wait for nail art so I just did the regular manicure and pedicure using their new summer collection “orange color”.

Project time

Sunday,28 April, 2013

I and my colleagues were gathering at Rowdha’s house to prepare for our photography project. The requirement is to take pictures of different fruits and vegetables which resemble the rainbow colors. The purpose is to encourage people towards healthy diet and the title of our project is healthy living. At first, we were brainstorming ideas and searching for well taken shots at the internet, instagram and came up with several more. Next, we went to Dubai Fruit and Vegetable Market to buy what we need and then we went back home to start cutting and preparing the fruits. Finally, I believe the results were actually nice and we took 200 photos to show our teacher Mr. Tridib during our meeting tomorrow.

Found was I was looking for!

Finally, got my friend a nice gift after spending the whole day searching while shopping. On each birthday I like to surprise her with something she likes and wants, this time, because of her rings addiction I bought her a bracelet and two rings from Tiffany & Co boutique and hopefully she’ll like it. If you’re looking for a special gift for a special person, then Tiffany’s new collection would help ;)

On a rainy day!

Saturday,27th April,2013

On a rainy day there is nothing more I crave than Al-Raslaan traditional Arabic food. It is the yummiest and the best and I never regret going all the way to Al-Awir area which is approximately 40 minutes away from my house, just to eat their fine food. I consider my Saturday as a well spent day, since I enjoyed a really good company and the best snack I could ever have. So if you’re looking for the best take away traditional Arabic food, then Al-Raslaan is your only choice!
