Latest news from Qatar
Sara, the popular girl from work..
This blog post is about the girl I told you about earlier, the fifth member of our work team. Her name is Sara.. Nice name right!! :-) In Arabic, Sarrah means something like "the woman that makes people Happy".
She remindes me of Marry in "There's something about Mary". You see, she's a lot like that protagonist .. she makes people feel good about themselves, WAY good.. There is this thing about her I couldn't quite figure out, I'm guessing that she's a genuinely, genuinely kind-hearted person.
It's like she believes that everybody is entitled to have her full attention regardless of how unhappy she feels at the moment. She can't help it but to smile and be nice to others even if her heart is aching with longing to a dear close family member who has just passed away last week!
It amazes me how able she is to see beyond people's appearances.. she assumes good in everybody else! and when they let her down she keeps on doing her thing without a single pause of regretting the time she "wasted" on people who doesn't deserve her.
The thing about her that I have never came across in other people, and believe me I know A LOT of people, is how honest she is!! Can you believe it!! She's both HONEST and NICE!! It's like she is as honest as Simon and yet she leaves the impact of Paula.. There is something about her criticizing skills that find the way to people's hearts without coming anyway near their ego.. She's just incredible..
There is this project I'm working on with her these days, a work thingy.. She's always pointing out my mistakes to me in a way that makes me feel soooo thankful!! NEVER irritated or anything like that I swear!
Finally, after praising her up there, I should be telling you that one day when we were busy working on something she looked at me with her full-of-words eyes, and paused for a second or two then said " You know Aisha, you remind me of myself"!! I'm not even kidding I swear!!!!!
OMG so the last paragraph of Sara's post is about me!! How self-centered is that!! It's like I learned nothing from her!! *darrrrn*

Get a LIFE said
Aisha.... seriously??? i ...Aisha.... seriously??? i know i have a choice to read or not to read but must you share every intricate detail of your life with everyone? dont you have FRIENDS that will gladly listen to you? maybe sara doesnt want the whol world knowing what kind of person she is? maybe your brother in law doesnt want everyone knowing he's ill... these are things you should share in your inner circle of friends... not on a blog and not on QL!
sorry, just my opinion.... :P ppppth!

"Get a LIFE" ...I respect your opinion...I have my own though.. It's different, obviously..
Just try to ignore my blog posts next time :-D
No hard feelings whatsoever..

Get A Life ...First of all... someone who created a new Id just to comment on this thread should get a life first! pathetic..
If you don’t know the meaning of personal blog here it is:-
Personal blogs
The personal blog, an ongoing diary or commentary by an individual, is the traditional, most common blog. Personal bloggers usually take pride in their blog posts, even if their blog is never read by anyone but them. Blogs often become more than a way to just communicate; they become a way to reflect on life or works of art. Blogging can have a sentimental quality. Few personal blogs rise to fame and the mainstream, but some personal blogs quickly garner an extensive following. A type of personal blog is referred to as "microblogging," which is extremely detailed blogging as it seeks to capture a moment in time. Some sites allow bloggers to share thoughts and feelings instantaneously with friends and family and is much faster than e-mailing or writing. This form of social media lends to an online generation already too busy to keep in touch.[2] (Source : Wikipedia)
She can write whatever she want in it...some people even write their most personal moments of their life. How do you know that she didn’t take permission from her friend before posting her name in the public? Her Family is also happy that her friends offer our sincere prayer for the speedy recovery of her BIL..
Aisha is an old member ..(which I am sure you know very well). She got lot of real life friends with whom she can share her thoughts...but it gives great happiness for some people to update their daily incidents on their blog. She is not a bored person who got nothing better than to discuss her life with strangers… she is managing her home and her work very well…and also enjoying her social life well…
Creating a new nick just to give negative comments and unsolicited advice is not really appreciated here!

Wow..impressive...does such ...Wow..impressive...does such a person exist..
I never find it easy to point others' mistakes without being afraid of causing some hard feelings and I already have..
sometimes i just ingore the comment and move on which is not good from a friend to friend..
Aisha..honestly..you should be a writer...i don't know if it is Sara's personality or it is your writing skills..
It is absolutely your choice to write about your personal matters, and a busy body person like me would love to share it :D but you may consider how unsecure internet world is...having read your article and writinig skills..I am sure you are good enough to have thought of this throughout..
Get a LIFE said
Wsalaam Aisha... i am sorry, ...Wsalaam Aisha... i am sorry, to be honest, i thought twice about writing what i did. it just i cant get it, i mean i dont understand why people have to tell their whol life stories to strangers.. its not something that should be done in my opinion, thats all...
i really do apologise for being mean... its because i dont understand it... but do as you wish... ill bother other people about getting a life.. at least you dont moan about how your boyfriend is cheating on you and such things like others do!!!
take care
PS. i did not create this ID just to comment on Aisha's blog. i created to PUT MY OPINION (becasue thats free for me to do- according to all of you) about other people who seriously shouldnt be getting paid a salary to sit on QL when u should be working.

looks like you've found a mentor ...Aisha, looks like you've found a potential mentor. That is something that you should really be grateful for - as you can see from the comments above, most people are in disbelief. That's because having a great mentor (someone who you respect, can learn from and who who honestly cares to see you develop and is willing to invest in you) is a very rare thing. Treasure it and make the most of it.
Remember, the thing that most mentors expect back in return for their guidance and time is YOU doing great things.

Get a LIFE,.. when I read ...Get a LIFE,.. when I read this blog, I came to the comments to write my opinion and found you have written what was in my mind.
Aisha,..when u wrote about ur ill brother.I felt sorry for him, sharing the sorrow will reduce it from you. but when you wrote about ur friend,.. I wonder why,..what value or information that added to me in this PUPLIC blog??
I usually came here to read about what is going on in Qatar, activities, news, and also share feelings, but not personal stories.
This is my opinion about the contents of your blog. on the other hand, yes, you should be a writer, you have a nice attractive style of writing. try to write in general without mentioning names, it will be safer for you. and to be a write, you'll face many criticism. don't be offensive, and don't feel proud if you have a lot clapping for you like the audience above.
best wishes.
