Spring break

Hi,

     Spring break has been my best time to relax since last year. It's the time where you can have some rest, forget about the school, and prepare for summer. There are lots of places I'm thinking of visit in two weeks. First place I'm thinking about is Arizona. Grand Canyon and phoenix is one of the best places I went to last year, and I'm hoping to relive that time again. Another place is Cancun, Mexico. It's one of the best resort for many students in the spring break. Because of the low prices and expenses people like to spend their spring break their, and I would love to. The last place I'm thinking about is lake Havasu. One of the best community for student who like to relax and also to have fun. That's the most three places I'd like to escape to in the spring break.

Advice

     "some people love to give advice - maybe even a little too much!". I start with a quote because it represent me. I like to give advices to my friends and sometimes when I see someone who might need one. The reason I'm doing this is because I had too much experiences in my life. Even though I'm just 24 years old, but my experiences came up early. That doesn't mean I never take advices. I always seek for advices regarding my personal problems. Usually I ask one of my best friends if it is personal. Sometimes I seek advice for many issues in my daily life, however, i rarely follow any of them. I'm commonly stubborn if it comes to decision about my life.
     I cannot think of any advice that I would call it "The best", but I surely helped a lot of friends when they asked for my opinion about their problems. However, I have given advices to four friends of mine regarding studying abroad. They are all now in the U.S. and the study is going well for them, even though I had poor grades last semester.

Optimistic

"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." - Winston Churchill
When you read this quote, you know it has a certain meaning in our life. It means that an optimistic person could find a solution for any problem. Whereas a pessimistic person would find a problem in any solution. I do agree with this quote. Usually I am optimistic and I see the good in any person and any problem. I rarely feel failed or defeated. I would try to make things right even when I fail, just the feeling that I get is enough. It applies in my whole life. For example, recently my file was put on hold by the cultural mission and that lead to take me out of the scholarship program. Now, I have to pay my tuition and my living expenses while I'm in the states. I'm still smiling, living my life like there is nothing wrong. Although I'm in a serious situation, but I know that by the end of the first entry everything will go well for me and I'll be able to retrieve my scholarship.

My Best Friend & I

Hi, today I'll talk about my best friend and how we have some similarities and differences. First of all, his name is Mohammad. He is currently lives in Saudi Arabia and have a good job as an instructor.
     As friends, we have a lot of similarities. one of them is our personalities. we have the same attitude and it's known in the family. both Mohammad and I are relaxed, easy going, and down to earth. we are very much alike in our beliefs. the two of us like the same food. Although we have a lot in common, we have some difference, which don't keep us from being good friends. For example, I hate naps, I have never took a nap since high school. on the other hand, Mohammad always has to take a nap when he come back from his work. One more dissimilarity is that I'm an outdoor guy, I like to go out and be active outside, but Mohammad likes to keep himself inside and just hangout inside the apartment.
Even though we have some differences, but that don't keep us from being friends. We have a lot in common, and that what help us in our friendship.

One of My Favorite songs

I have a lot of songs that I like and maybe affected my life, but the most most effective is the song "My Love" by Westlife. The first time I heard the song is 4 years ago. It affected my life because it was the song which made me realize that I'm falling for my girlfriend at that time. It's been so long since the first but every time I hear it, it brings back all the feeling and the memories of my past relation ship.

My Fears

Hi, everyone has something to fear. Personally, I'm a happy and non concerned person. But i used to have a lot of things that i was afraid of. The first fear is failing, i was used to be good person in everything, when i do something i rarely fail and this is why i was afraid of failing. With time i overcome this failing, because I already know that there is no success without a fail. Another thing I was afraid of is the future, I was always thinking about what is going to happen in the future. Losing someone I love is is the biggest fear i have. especially when I'm living in the other side of the earth. Although having this fear is rare, but thinking about losing my friends in the US or the others back home terrifies me. To face my fears, mostly I keep myself busy, try to have fun, and being outdoor.

My New Year Resolution

      Hi, today I'm going to write about my 2011 resolution. every single one wants to be better every year. For me, I have a lot of bad sides of me that I really would like to change and I'm planning to do it. First, my education. in the last five months I have been really lazy and I totally forgot my main purpose in United States. In 2011, I made a promise that I will make a change. Second, as a person, I hurt so many people that I care about. My true friends who were with me in the good and even the bad situations. All what I did is turn them down and push them away. This is the most important change I would like to make this year. Also I would love to lose some weight. I have done it before and I have lost more than 40 lbs but I need to lose about 20 more to reach my goal.
