My Strangest Week C3

Chapter three: Mr. D and the earthquake
When I got the pink card, I knew that I have to do a presentation in the next day, but I did not know that it would be a SPECIAL one.
Monday in the library at 1:50 pm, my friends went to the class to meet the adviser, I stayed at the library with Mr. Gary to remind him for the topic of my presentation, but we were not alone, Mr. David Kerr was with us writing something, when he heard about the pink card he said (you are the one who got the pink card), I showed a sad face, Mr. Gary said (yes) then he started thinking about a topic for me, I notice that Mr. D was thinking too, Mr. D said (what about the life of a dirham), I was shocked I asked (what is that?!), both of them laughed, then Mr. D started explain it to me, about a journey of a pound like it fall in a river then someone found it etc, I did not understand it well, I looked at Mr. Gary and said (please sir don’t let Mr. David choice the topic for me), but I notice that Mr. Gary liked the idea, even though I was boiling of anger I accept it (my god is with me), (sure yes he is) Mr. D said I looked sharply at him (thanks a lot Mr. David, I will never forget that), Mr. Gary said (she will never forget that) all what Mr. D said was (ohmygod…oh ..my..god..)…if Mr. Gary was the who choice this topic for me I would not object, it’s not because Mr. D have something wrong, I liked the idea, but I was afraid that I wont be able to make it…. Mr. Gary is my instructor and he knows about my abilities…

My Strangest Week C2

Chapter two: Mr. H
Sunday afternoon… I was with my friend Maryam Saleh in the cafeteria waiting for our turn to pay for our lunch, when I notice that a colorful man coming toward us we call him Mr. H (Hawaii),I did not move I just ignored that and I looked at the counter when suddenly I saw a hand almost putting a small bag on my plate, I did not look I just hear someone says (can I put my bag here that you carry it for me), when I looked at the man I was shocked he was Mr. H, I said joking (no sir you I cant), (I thought that this was the end of this BIG meeting , I was almost moving when he said ( I thought that you will be a kind girl and accept!), I smiled –not at him- (sir I was kidding of course I will carry it for you!), he laughed… then (from which college you are?) he asked (I am not in a college yet I am in my first year at level 7) he smiled (that’s great, you may get in the general after this semester that’s really great!) My friend was ignoring him all the time but he asked her (you look like you are a good friends!) she said with a boring voice (we are just classmates) then she asked me in Arabic to leave, I felt that it will be impolite to leave the man standing there talking to himself, suddenly he said (congratulations then) I nodded (thank you). And this was the real ending of this meeting, the strange thing that I did not expect to talk to Mr. H at all, I thought that he is silly (sorry Mr. H if you are out there) but he was kind!... and smiling all the time… but it was really unusual for me to talk to him

My Strangest Week C1

Chapter one: It Begins
In Saturday morning I woke up with a smile on my face, it was like a holiday for me, I did not go to the university because it was a day for independent learning, I had a short conversation with my grandma she said that she will go to her friend home, actually I felt bad because she is the only person that I talk to in my house.
She went, and I started doing my homework, no one was in the house – except the maid-, it was so quite, I went to the internet, there my friend from brazil Marcela gave me an e mail for a guy from there, I did not want it at first time, but she said that he is a good guy.
I started talking to him, he was good in English that I thought that brazil is not his real country, then he started asking me to see my picture!!!...I told him that its impossible. And I told hem that I don’t talk to guys for this kind of reasons, then he wrote (THEN GO TO HELL)… I was so surprised about that, I blocked him and delete him from my list….

Coming up Mr. H

The Unsinkable Ship Part Two

Women and children were the first to get in to the lifeboats, but the builder of the ship found his way in on of the lifeboats, nobody seems to notice that….and the music band had been ordered to play music.
The captain ordered to send a helping messages, one of the ships responded but it was four hours far of the titanic, but the captain did not give up he ordered to send firework on the sky, he was shocked when he knew that there is no red fireworks that the ships use it to ask for help, they just had white fireworks so they send it… there was no respond….the captain remembered something written on the newspapers in the day that the titanic left the port (even the god cant sink this ship)…
The titanic started to lean, and the music band kept playing their music, the crew of the ship were ordered to keep guns with them just in case, but some of them used it when the situation got out of their hands.
Half of them were in the lifeboats but the rest of them were still in the ship, some of them prefer to throw themselves to the frozen ocean.
Suddenly the back of the ship went up on the air, and it started to sink in the dark sea, then a terrible sound came from the ship it was broken on to two parts the back of the ship sat on to the sea again, while the other part kept sinking in the sea…. The back of the ship sank after moments…. The sea went quite again.
Some of the lifeboats returned to that place to help some of the people. Then they saw lights they started making noises to let that ship know where they were.
In the morning, the survivors were really shocked about what happened to them a couple hours ago. It was unbelievable night for them; it was like a nightmare for them, a nightmare that they won’t be able to forget it for the rest of their life.
There in the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, the titanic is sitting without any move, with it was the life of 1500 people; it was the end of the unsinkable ship…


The Unsinkable Ship Part One

They where so proud about themselves too give this title to the titanic just a ship!
But they were wrong… completely.
When you see this ship you will just say WOW!...it was the biggest ship that had been built in that days, when you get on it you wont know if you are in a ship or a fife stars hotel.
When the trip began from England to New York, the people on it where so excited… when it started moving, she almost have an accident with a ship that was standing in that port, but nothing happen, some of the people started to have fear about what will come next…
After 4 days of setting out…The sea was so quite, but the people did not care about it, the rich people where playing there games and the poor one where looking for a shining start at New York, the ship was moving too fast because the builder of the ship wanted to reach New York as soon as possible, he ignored the captain of the titanic who was warning him, about the danger of going on a high speed, and he told him that this area is full of Iceberg that can make a REAL danger, but the builder did not even bather about that.
In that night the captain of the titanic was looking at the sea and said (In all my life I did not see quite like this).
On the bridge they were too guys looking for any clue of danger… after a while they saw an iceberg, they gave the warning, but the captain was sleeping, so one of his men tried to changed the way… and because it was moving so fast, he could not change the way in the right time, the titanic crashed the iceberg, and its bottom damaged badly.
The people woke up, and they knew what happened, but they go back to sleep because they are in the unsinkable ship.
The captain had a meeting with his crew, they knew that the unsinkable ship is actually a normal ship and it’s a sinkable one, they knew too that it have just two hours, the worst think that there is not enough lifeboats to all the people.
The crew woke the people and asked them to wear heavy clothes and go to the lifeboats. They tried not let them feel panic they said it’s just a normal thing and everything will be fine.


To Be Continued....

Brazil

I can guess that some of you are so surprised; maybe some of you think that I am out of my mind to talk about a far country like Brazil.
I choused talking about this country, because I really enjoyed knowing too many great things about this country, and I want to share what did I know with you guys.

It’s a really nice country, some people are confused about the capital of Brazil some think that it’s Rio de Janeiro, but actually it’s Brasilia.
But Rio de Janeiro have a really great view to the sea, while the blue sea and the special palm trees, I saw too many picture for that city and I felt like I was there.
Brazil had a very long story, they talk protégées because of historical reason, protégées people had arrived to brazil at the 1700s, and they took the natural people as there slaves, but every story must have an ending, so it become a REAL country after all.

This country is a free country; but you have to BECARFUL If you had the idea of going there, too many criminals are there, at night when you think to back to your home don’t take a bus, because even the bus is NOT that safe, so if you want to go home its better to have your own car (anyway the criminals are every where).

It’s the fifth biggest country in the world, and it have more than 200 million people, just in Sao Paulo there is more than 8.5 million people, and it’s the 10th biggest city in the world.

I don’t want to talk about this, but I have to….when we say BRAZIL we say FOOTBALL, “the Brazilian player are the best players in the world” some people says that but I am not with them, they won the world cup 5 times, in the last world cup I was with Germany, but they lost that was really sadL, I hate this team (without a reason), I was afraid that they may win and they did it.

That’s all I have, I just want to know your opinions, is it good or boring, but I am really thankful that you red it thanks ^_^



A Very Dear Cat

Yesterday I was looking at my father’s library for some books, when I found a short and funny story.
It was talking about an old woman her name… (I forgot so I will call her Mrs. Lisa), she was a lonely woman who shared a flat with her cat Molly, this cat was the only thing that Mrs. Lisa have in this life, Molly had a habit, it was talking a walk everyday but in evening at 7 pm she must be at home.
One day this cat did not return in that evening, the old woman was so worried about her, she searched for her, but she could not find Molly.
After three days a message arrived at her flat it was saying (your cat is fine, but not for a long time, if you want to see it again, put 1000 dollars in a box outside your flat, and you will see your cat in the other day)
Mrs. Lisa wanted to call the police, but she was afraid that she will never be able to see her cat again, so she went to the bank and drew 1000 dollars from there; she put that money in a box outside her door….
In the morning when she opened her door, she did not find the box, but inside her she new that her cat will come back to her… in the evening at 7 pm Molly arrived, Mrs. Lisa was so happy, to see her cat safe again, but it was thirsty so she drank half a battle of milk, when she told the police about what did she done, they become very surprised, but she told them that this cat was really dear to her so she did that for her.

My First Day At The University

A new challenge of my story had began, with it I got in to a new chapter of my story, now I’ll start to face a hard long journey but at the same time I’m happy because I am in the university that I was looking for word to get in to it.

When I knew that Zayd University accepted me, I began to improve my English by reading stories that I download it from the Internet, getting in to English forums and talking to abroad people in the messenger. With that my English got much better. Then I waited for the 4th of September…

In the night before the big day I could not sleep, and I didn’t know why…
My father woke me up in that morning it was 5 am, I had a shower and I prayed…then I ate my breakfast.
It was 5:45 am when I got in to my father’s car… in the way to Dubai my father and I were talking about the university we talked a lot but I don’t know exactly what we were talking about…
We arrived there at 6:30 am it was so early to go there my father laughed at that moment and said if you get in there now they will say that this girl is so excited that she came so early, I laughed with him …so my father took me for a short tour around there, it was quit that morning.
Then at 7 am I was in my university, walking to the room that I will have my first class in it. There I met many girls they were so kind, when I told them that I am form UAQ they become very surprised I did not blame them, because I was coming from a very far place.
At 8 am I met my instructor Sir Gary O’Neill, he is a very kind sir and I understood every word that he said that day… with that I knew that I am not bad at English… at all.
Then it was my first break I went to the cafeteria where I waited for my friend, when she arrived we started talking about our first day and how was it so cool until that moment.
We started walking there, trying to know every single place, the university is much bigger than I thought … but I really liked it.
In my last class sir Gary took us to the library where he asked us to read some stories or books I really liked that idea because reading is one of my favorite hobbies, the first book that I borrow from the library was Brave Heart it was a pretty cool story.
2 pm was the end of my class in my first day, I met my friend at the cafeteria again, we ate our lunch then we stayed there until It was 4:30 pm I went with her to the bus but we separated because I live a little bit farther that UAQ.
I went to the bus, and I met a new friends there one of them her father in a friend to my father, I knew that from her last name.
On the way to my city my Mobil phone did not stop ringing because my grandma was calling me all the time, she was really worried about me….
7 pm I got in to my house… where I found someone waiting for me, she was my grandma… almost crying from happiness when she saw me… I was really tired I just sat at the nearest chair and drunk some water.
After 1 hour my father arrived and asked me about my first day I said, “It was really cool… but I know that it’s just the beginning” he nodded. I saw my brothers but I was not surprised when they did not greet me…. Well they are always like that, actually all the guys are like that; they don’t show their emotions at all.
When It was 9 pm I was in my bed reading the story from the library Brave Heart, it was really cool that I did not want to go sleep without finishing it, but I was sleepy and tired so I decided to finish it in the second day.
I closed my eyes and I slept immediately…after I had unforgettable day… in my long journey…. in my first day at the university.



Brave Heart

Brave heart…wow!
What a name for a story!
I liked it a lot! … I watched it on TV but not all of it … and I’m regretting that… because it was a wonderful one.
Thanks to Sir Gary I got the chance to go to the library at the first day at my university and red that story in one day…I know that you are out there sir so thank you!
And I am trying to find that movie to see ALL of it.

And a bout the story it was about a man with the brave heart William … the man that believed the freedom of his land… and fought for it until his death.

And I think that this story could happen in any place when the people believe about there right to be free!

That’s all.
