My Home Summer Job $$$

Summer and money. These two words are strictly bound to each other no matter what your plans are. Whether to spend money on traveling, shopping, investments...etc. Or to earn money like applying for a summer job. Or starting a temporary business…etc.

I was thinking before my vacation started about getting a summer job, but the circumstances didn’t really helped me getting one. Lucky me, I have a sister who got a summer contract with some governmental institution. She’s like a supervisor and a technician in the same time. She has to do all the hard work Like preparing the power points, the data shows, the food, she has to watch over the girls and god knows what else she has to do too.

One day she asked for my personal opinion on the introductory power point. I told her what I think. Then, I offered her my professional help in exchange of a favor I wanted from her. She accepted that and told me if she liked my work she’s gonna make a professional deal with me. my mind went like awww professional = $$$! I can't refuse that so I took the deal.

I made the ppt and she liked it. Then she offered me to pay 30 Rs. for every 10 slides I do. I was like .. WOoOW! A real profit .. I get to earn money of my own effort. I accepted the deal immediately I didn’t even bargain.

Until now I’ve made 6 power points and one design for a brochure- yeah .. this counts too ☺. And almost each one of them contains 15 – 25 slides. Well.. you do the math. :P I’m sure it’s 100 something -if not 200!! XD.

Awww.. I’m so happy and proud of my self. May this be the beginning of a successful career for me XD.

THE UGLY MAID!

Guess what bloggers?! I just came from my aunt’s house. She was having a dinner coz she has a new grandson. Don’t get so excited!! I didn’t wanna go in the first place coz I don’t actually care! I mean I don’t like children and I don’t really get along so easily with my relatives of my mother side. However, I was surprised this evening when I heard my aunt’s daughter in-low - (K) - telling us what she likes for her maid to be like.

She had two maids lately. The first one she was pretty in an acceptable way. When she came to KSA the first time, she was wearing this very tight jeans and a red tight short t-shirt exposing some of her belly. (K) was supposed to be upset, instead she was happy, but her husband wasn’t! So the next day, he went to the (este8dam) office, yelled at them n asked for a new maid n’ take this one back.

Of course, in order to do so, he must pay extra money. Poor cousin! ;P

The second maid –according to her sayings – was a disaster!!!!!!

From the very first moment she and her husband put their eyes on her, they opened their mouths and eyes widely in SHOCK!!!!! Guess what was the reason!

I’ll tell you what was it. (K) was shocked because her new maid is UGLY!!! Her husband was shocked, because he knew his wife wouldn’t accept her, which means the money he just spent on her is gone! I feel for you cous., I know how it feels loosing ur money!. x) It took his wife few moments to ask him to take her back and ask the (este8dam) office for another new maid. But this time she told him to write on the official papers that their maid MUST BE BEAUTIFUL or of an ACCEPTABLE APPEARANCE!!!!!!!!

Could you believe this!! She is unbelievable!!!!! I remember when I read this article in the newspaper about the Saudi government allowing the recruitment of maids from Afghanistan and the surrounding countries. The Saudi women weren’t soo happy, they felt threatened by them. They were afraid that their maids may steal their husbands from them!!

When I heard her story, I was laughing like everybody else. But in the same time, I was very upset! I mean ppl don’t have the right to judge other ppl based on their appearance. And she was talking about her maid like she is some sort of monster or an unwanted creature! Beside, she's came all the way leaving her country .. her family and beloved ones just to serve other ppl whom she does not even know. that should be considered before any master thinks about insulting his\her maid! she's here to help you in your home .. she's not a model to consider her beauty. Luckily for us, (K) brought her maid with her. So, my mom told her to call for her maid so we can take a look at her. To be honest, I hated what my mom did. I told them I’m afraid if she came I might burst into laughing, so plz don’t do that. But my mom insisted. When the maid came, I must say, she wasn’t very pretty! But she was acceptable to me. She just has this swollen upper lip like it was bitten by an insect. After she’s gone, they started to tell some jokes about her. I was really uncomfortable with that. I wanted to yell at them and slap that (K) on her face for the jokes she made and for the unreasonable demands. But I hold it together, and I managed to close the subject.

How cruel that could be?! I mean take a look at this:

عن أنس رضي الله عنه قال: " خدمت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم تسع سنين، فما أعلمه قال لي قط لما فعلت كذا و كذا و لا عاب علي شيئا قط"١

قال صلى الله عليه و سلم : “ لا فرق بين عربي و لا اعجمي إلا بالتقوى، إن أكرمكم عند الله أتقاكم".ا

it seems so simple, but in real life, we almost never pay attention to this!

SUMMER & GOOD MEMORIES

It's SUMMER everyone .. finally, we can rest! NO more studying.. NO more exams .. MUCH MORE FUN is waiting for us .. I hope..

SO HAPPY SUMMER FOR U BLOGGERS!

I'm telling u that, because me myself is having a rough time these days. But I'm trying to adopt by remembering and recalling good times, nice memories and LOADS and LOADS of TV-series and movies. I'm so addicted to these things. The funny thing is they are called ((TV))-shows, but I never open the TV except rarely, I have them all in my sweet precious laptop.
I had so much plans for this summer .. but I'm afraid I have no control on my life right now.. I just have to be patient. I hope by time every thing is gonna work for me.
The title of my post says "GOOD MEMORIES" .. yes .. good memories. They are one of my precious things that I have. That kind of things that gives me strength and helps me back on track when I get lost sometimes.

one of these memories is the day when my eldest bro. told me "I LOVE YOU"!

one day he called me, to check on me and the family - since he's a newly married man and apparently he does misses his family pretty mush, which goes against what he expected before he got married lol. we blabbed and blabbed and then we laughed and then he told me:

" u know what !!? I LOVE U .. and I love talkin' to u .. u makes me happy every time I do so.. u'r funny and easy to talk to".

I know this sounds like a boy talking to his girl friend .. but when I heard these words .. specially that they are coming out of my brother .. it meant every thing to me .. like the world to me!
that made me feel warm and content and most importantly.. it made me feel that I'm a good person.

I must confess .. me and him didn't really have this perfect brother-sister relationship in the past. We were like oil and fire .. dog and a cat!! suddenly, after his marriage, everything have changed! I changed .. he changed.. we became more mature and more peaceful. In our family, we're not used to show our love to each other. not by words , not by kisses nor by hugs! Beside, I have this idea in my head of me being waaaay too far of a funny person, despite what I hear from other ppl. So, u can imagine how something like this would make my day.

His wife told me once that he likes talkin' to me , he likes when I go out with them. she told me that before he does, but I didn't really go with it ..considering our shameful past.

A memory like this always brings the good out of me .. making me remember one of my utmost wishes in life .. which is to make every one happy. And knowing that I could do so to even to one single person makes my heart jumps of joy.
