Britney spears was the queen of pop, all of a sudden she dropped down and had a break down; her life was going nowhere but going down the road towards nowhere. I mean she was ever girls dream, and then when she had the problems that she went through she became a alcoholic and she had some behavior problems. it’s all because of her past boyfriend/husband Kevin, from the day she meet him tell the day she broke it up and had the devours. She got arrested and Kevin got the cassette of the children, and I think she got them back I really don’t know. But I’m telling you what I know cause that’s the last essay that I have to write and I got no I idea what to write about. Only that I saw Britney’s picture in a magazine right now and I was like done I have a topic to write about know hahaha! I tried my best :)

Pollution

Pollution is the biggest problem in this world these days. And its cause of all the smoke,factories and the people who don’t know how to Recycle that’s a huge disappointment really people must learn how to Recycle, is it so hard to just through a piece of plastic in a Recycle bin? Really that’s the problem that we face. People throwing plastic in an ordinary trash bin and Some Dolphins are died because of that stupid act, not just dolphins are in danger but so many different innocent creatures that live among us are in danger too. We have to stop this thing from happening by doing that you just have to Recycle that’s all. And the smoke from the factories, cars, burned stuff are making the ozone layer get thinner and thinner no wonder why the earth is getting hotter and hotter. People you have to think before you act and I think that’s the best thing that people will do for realizing all that and then act what you should act on. By throwing the right trash in its trash. For example, paper, cans, plastic, boxes in the Recycle bin, and from my opinion the other trash like food that is not needed must be feed to animals.

Abu Dhabi


There is so many places that you can visit in Abu Dhabi. People go to the kurnash to have a little picnic or a swim or sometimes people go jetsking. all of that is in front of marina mull, the marina mull is a place that you can all hang out in adults, teens and children. There’s a cinema and a food court and place that children would love to play in which if fun city, shops for people who loves to shop. Likewise there is another place called Abu Dhabi mull and some of the shops there are different from marina mull and people go there for a serious shopping day, and it has a billiard and a bowling area that have a karaoke place on the second floor so you and your friends can hang out and have a really great time. On the other hand the wehda mull, that’s a place that I personally not enjoy being in cause its boring sorry; there’s not many shops in it and I only go there for noodles house and its great, I love their food and their services from my opinion I’d give that restaurant a two thumbs up. Know let’s turn to khalidea mull and that’s a huge place to go too but you have to go to a restaurant called crispy-cream and there you will taste the best dame donates that you will ever taste.

Math <3 !


When I was in grade 10 I could care less about my grades, I used to fail in subject but never tell my mom; once I faked my report so I won’t be punished. But when I went to grade 11 I was so serious that teachers could even believe I am smart, when I was in grade 10 my average was 65% but when I went to grade 11 it became 84%. Even my friends saw the difference, I didn’t skip class nor cheat in my exams. I became the good girls as they say, they even began calling me *nerd* which wasn’t a bad thing I guess. My favorite subject was math, I can’t understand people when they say that they hate math; I love it when the teacher give us a problem and we have to find the solution, it’s just so much fun! When someone gives me a mathematic problem I immediately solve it, till now I remember all the equation and rules.

For the past 6 years we have been going to our island during the Midterm holiday. The special thing about it is that nobody’s is there expect for the members of my family; no can go there without telling us. We all gather there, and the girls sit together and the boys go play with the jet skies and motorcycles. For us girls, we walk around the island and listen to music and some would be talking on the phone while others play and do some stupid stuff. When we reach the end of the island we just sit or we can swim where no one could watch us, we have the greatest time. Once we saw a crab and killed it because my cousin was afraid it would eat her, and I was laughing it was just a small crab and she was so fat she would kill him not him! At night, we gather around the fire and laugh about everything (we always laugh at silly stuff); when we go their it’s not like here in Abu Dhabi where everything is modern, it’s completely the opposite but none of us would complain because it’s different and we got use to it.

iPods <3 !

I am addicted to my iPod! I always listen to music, whether I am studying, playing or even just walking in the house. In fact, sometimes when someone talking to me I listen to music I just lower the volume. I love hearing songs, especially the ones I could relate to. My favorite singers are Beyonce Knowles, Jay-Z, Kanye West, The Beatles, Chris Daughtry, Green Day, Christina Aguilera, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Linkin Park, Maroon 5, Coldplay, Michael Jackson and many more but these are my top rated. When I walk in the mall also I listen to my iPod and when people talk to me I don’t reply because I can’t hear them and they think that am ignoring them. I always go and buy the new accessorize for my iPod, I just can’t stop. Also, I love buying all the latest electric devices; my mom doesn’t like that about me because she thinks it’s a waste of money but the good thing is that my dad think it good for the summer time. Every time a new iPod comes I go and buy it, from the old till the newest I have it all; but some of them I threw them because it got broken or it doesn’t work anymore.

My Favorite Shows <3 !





My two favorite TV shows are Ugly Betty and The Simpson. Ugly Betty tells the story about an ugly girl who works in the fashion world, and that she is surrounded by beautiful people. Its different than the rest of the shows because each episode is unique and the setting of the scenes and clothes are colorful which seems attractive to me. Also, what it do is that sometimes they bring famous people to act with them; such as, Victoria Beckham, Lindsay Lohan and many others. My favorite character from this show is Wilhelmina Slater which is played by Vanessa Williams.


My other favorite show is The Simpson, I just love it ! You can’t hate it, unless you don’t a sense of humor then that’s your problem. Also in this show the characterize famous people and make fun of them, they even make fun of presidents and they don’t just talk what happen in the U.S.A but what goes around the world and make it into animation and jokes. My favorite character in this show is Homer Simpson, I love how stupid he is; he always make me laugh at silly stuff and I always quote what he say even if it was a stupid thing.

Iam living in a horror #.#



Will right now all what iam thinking about ,is to stop the time,cause iam living in a horror of not having the good mark,because iam late of doing my blogs. So i think many of you sometimes have something to be scare from. Will like me,,my big horror is to imagine that iam died , and that iam now on grave, cause i don't think i would be scared from any thing in life except God, but all what i think thats afterlife would be scary , only if all my work was good, and i don't think its will be good , because world and life is getting harder to see and to stand it day by day.And i know some people scared from being out side his home, because then if he getout, he think that something bad will happen to him, will every thing is written by god its will happen but of course be aware of that, and every one have his own mistakes,but ofcourse he will learn from it.So there's no need to be afraid, cause life would be life, and being afraid isn't the solution, but being strong to give up your afraid, will thats the good life that u will be living in....without horror , soo watch out maybe there is something behinde you looking for you .

Being late in life..



will sadly that's my problem , i can't control on being late. Now adays we have to be in a hurry way,because time is running, and" time is like sword ,if you don't cut it , he will cut you".So helloo i have to get up, because now adays people getting ungry if u are late,if it's only just one minute .And if u want to have a good impretion , will don't be late. so sadly iam from the people who are being late, i dunno why,maybe its because i usually forgot , or its because i don't care (but of course i care), or its the concerns of life make us forget, or its just the time is running fast. will i dunno about that but i know that iam now late for writting my whole blogs, and now the sir would be angry, and he wont give my full mark,even that 5 oclock is the end of the day, and i hope its not the end of me. <3

Thanks!


Thanks for the class, Level 7! Best of luck on the EOC and in the future! See you. Kevin

Global Village

The Global Village is a perfect picture of really global village which is a big place contains many western and eastern products and shops. Also, you can find others cultural clothes, food, and products and you can know their Customs and traditions. In addition, each country which participates in this global village should do some folklore dancing to show people who came to see them what is their traditions and culture. The shops in the Global Village are divided to their country that they belong to. For example, if you want London’s product so you have to go to London’s wing and so on. You can recognize each of them from their entrance and the flag. Each entrance shows the famous thing that the country has and most of people know about it. Finally, I suggest taking us on a trip from ZU to the Global Village next semester.

School


School is the place where we all learn everything in our life. in school we learned reading , writing, drawing and painting. On the other hand, we learned patience and how to deal with problems around us. In school we learned that we mustn’t give up from the first mistake, but we should try to improve our skills in order to be better. School is where we learned that nothing is impossible to be done, everything is easy by hard working. Moreover, we recognize that life without friends is impossible, so, we made friendships with girls around us who are in our ages, we promise each other to be friends forever, to help each other and to be honest and never lie. School has a lot of benefits on our behaviors and personalities. Finally, teachers deserve all the thanks and appreciations from us for their efforts to make education more beneficial.

And why I always love the wrong person ?! ..
Why I always cry a river of tears ?! ..
And you don't even think about what's going on me !! ..
'till when I'll be waiting for you ?! ..
Can you come again ?! ..
And can you feel my only pain for you !? ..
~ I always fake a smile with the people I know ..
But how can I fake a happiness for my heart without you ?! ..
~ where's all your promises for me ?! ..
Where's your arms to me hold me again ?! ..
Where are you ?! ..

And if there were hundreds of people with me ..
But you're not with them ..
I'll feel lost ..
All alone ..
By myself ..
~ can u give me one reason of living ?! ..
I can't handle it anymore !! ..

Is that will be like a miracle to forget ?! ..
Is it harder than that awful pain inside me ?! ..

Can't clear that love ..
And all the sun-rise on my life ..
Can't open my eyes again for someone else ! ..
And all that winds that came to take me away from you ..

Who is the rich??? & …. Who is the poor??

Once upon a time, there were a very rich man who went with his son in a journey to a poor country to show him how poor people are living.

They stayed for several days in a farm that a poor family live in.



When they were coming back to their home, the rich man asked his son: How was the journey?
The son said: It was excellent.

Father: Did you see how poor people are living.
Son: Yes.

Father: So, tell me… What did you learn from this trip?


Son: I saw that we own one dog…….. and they own 4 dogs.


We have a pool of water in the middle of our garden……. and they have stream without end.




We use lanterns to lighten our garden…… and they have the stars glister in the sky.




Our courtyard ends with the front garden…… and their courtyard extend to the horizon.



We have a small area to live on it……. and they have areas exceeding the fields.



We have servants to serve us……. and they serve each other.



We buy our food……… and they eat what they cultivate.


We have high walls to protect us……….. and they have friends to protect them.



The rich man was silent. Then, his son continued saying:
“Thank you Dad, because you show me how poor we are”


Kids <33 !


Every Friday we go to my grandmother’s house, the best part of going there is that I always go and play with the kids. After eating launch I go and let the nannies change the kids clothes and let them wear their swimming clothes, then we all go out outside and let the kids go and play and swim in the pool. I think kids love it when someone who is older than them is playing with them, because when I was sitting with them while they were swimming they always show me that they could jump in the pool and I act like I am shocked so that they think it’s something that only them who can do it but it’s actually a silly thing to do. After that, we go and watch some cartoon then when it’s time for dinner the nannies bring the kids food and I keep on eating from their foods because the food is more yummy when you steal it from someone. And that how I would spend my Fridays, just playing with the kids and at night catching up news with my aunts and laughing at silly stuff.

Cupcakes <3 !!






When I don’t have a lot of thing to do, I spend my afternoon baking cupcakes with my adorable sister. We start by making all the maids leave the kitchen so we would be alone and put some music on and start baking and having fun at the same time, after the cupcakes had been baked we decorate the them with colorful toppings; such as, colorful cream, m&ms and small chocolate balls. When we are done and we look at the kitchen overall we notice that we have done a lot of mess, we know that our mother would kill us so we let all the maids to clean and say that the kids did this; but when my mom asked them they said that it was me and my sister because they were afraid to lie to my mom. And in the end, my mom yelled at us while my sister and I kept laughing at her which got her even madder.




I have searched U.A.E to find a shop that sell these monster cookies cupcakes, and I'm still searching; I have only eaten them while I was in London which we made the hotel receptionist to do the search and bring for me, when I saw eat I didn't want to eat them because it looked so cool. But then my borthers ate them and i regretted not eating them.

The internet's effects


The issue of the internet’s effect has been a topic of argument for a long time. Some people believe that it’s useful, while the others think that it’s damaging. However, in my opinion, the internet is a double edges weapon; it has become an integral part of everyone’s life, although it has some damages. In this essay, I’m going to talk about the positive and negative effects of the internet. These positive effects are: using the internet in the educational and commercial field and communicating with other people, while the negative effects are: becoming addicted to the internet, healthy problems and watching bad things.


Now, let’s begin with the good effects of the internet in our life .First of all, it’s widely known that the internet has been used in the educational process. The internet is considered one of the largest information bases. So, students and teachers can get any information they need easily and quickly .If you are searching for any topic, you can find thousands of researches just by writing one word. Millions of people worldwide use the internet to share information. ”71% of students use the internet at their primary source for their last major project, and they also report accessing online study aids” (www.pewinternet.org). Therefore, schools and universities are supplied with the internet. In addition to that, the internet has been used in the commercial field. Many companies use it for offering their products and services; the consumer can get whatever he want just by clicking the button. Also we can use the internet to communicate with the people all over the world. You can talk and see your friend directly even if he is in other country. I think that the internet has changed the world into a small village.


On the other side, the internet can cause negative effects if we use it in a bad way. Some people spend a lot of time using it, so they become addicted to the internet. The researchers say that 6% of the internet’s users in the world are netaholics (
www.droob.com). The best example of these netaholics is my friend “Amal”. She uses the internet for 15 hours daily even if she is in the class. So, she gets low marks in her exams. The second bad effects of the internet is the healthy problems. Using the internet for a long time causes back pain. It is also harmful for our eyes. Finally ,some children and teens watch bad scenes, such as violent scenes, and they imitate what they see. So, they became as violent as they favorite characters, and they harm themselves and other people.


In conclusion , as we have seen above, the internet is useful and harmful at the same time. It’s useful because we can use it in educational and commercial fields and it helps us to communicate with other people. And it’s harmful because some people become addicted to it, it can cause health problems and it teaches children and teens bad things. However , I believe that the choice is in our hands, we should exploit this great technology to develop our country. I can’t imagine our life without the internet.

the seven ancient wonders of the world

Many of us know the seven ancient wonders of the world , and it’s the Giza pyramids, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon ,Temple of Artemis at Ephesus Mausoleum of Maussollos , The Colossus of Rhodes and Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia. But for the seven wonders of the medieval world has not agreed never to this day. There are many lists of proposed, which includes different groups of the wonders of the world and this one lists the most agreement between the many. It contains the buildings that were built before the medieval period, such as: Stonehenge and the Great Wall of China and the Roman amphitheater in Rome, Italy and the cemetery of Alexandria in Egypt and the ancient city of Petra in Jordan and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and Hagia Sophia in Istanbul in Turkey and the Chinese Temple Nankink .

Don't saddden

Once upon a time, an unemployed man wanted to work as cleaner in Microsoft Company. The manager summoned him for an interview. At the end of this interview, he told him that he is accepted to work there. And he asked him to leave his E-mail address to send him the contract of employment. The man answered shyly: “But…… But, I don’t have an E-mail and I don’t have a computer“. The manager surprised and he said: “ If you don’t have an E-mail address, you aren’t worth to work here”

Then, the man returned to his home desperately, because he was poor and he had nothing except 10$. Then, he began thinking what he can do with this money. After deep thinking, he decided to buy some strawberry boxes and he roamed around the city to sell them.
When he saw that he could double his capital easily. So, he repeated this process 3 times until he went back to his home with 60$.

He noticed that he can earn a lot of money by buying and selling the strawberry. So, he started working daily from the early morning until the midnight. Therefore, his profits increased … and increased more.


After one month…. he bought a small cart.


After five months…. he bought a truck.


After one year…. he owned a big fleet, and he used it to carry costumers’ orders.



After five years… he became one of the most famous importer in the USA.


Then, he determined to insure his big company in one of the biggest insurance company.
The insurance employee asked him to write his E-mail address . The man said:” But…. I don’t have an E-mail”. The insurance employee was very amazed when he hear that, and he said: “ You could build this big company, although you didn’t have an E-mail……. imagine if you had an E-mail what would you be?”

After deep thinking….. the man laughed and said:
“ I would be a cleaner in Microsoft Company”


The moral is:

( Don’t sadden if you don’t have something you think that it is important…… because if you had it, it might cause more sadness)

Coffee prince



I have seen a lot of dramas, and one of the most greatest dramas I have seen is “Coffee prince”. Coffee prince is a Korean drama which talks about a girl who looks like a boy. This girl is a hard worker, she didn’t complete her studies in order to help her mother and her little sister. One day she met a rich boy who likes to play all the time and spending his family money. When he saw her, he thought she was a boy because of her looks. A lot of situations happened between them until they got along and become friends. The boy start his own work and she was working in his coffee shop. Things got twisted when the boy started to love her, but he denied it because she is a boy to him. When he finally accepted the idea of loving a boy, she confessed to him her true gender. The boy got mad because he really suffered from this love. But his love was stronger and at the end they got married. I really liked this drama because it was really funny and showed the complexity in love.

A poem by Tolkien

This is a poem by Tolkien from The lord of the rings, I just want to share it..

I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.

I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall ever see.

For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.

I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.

But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.

In summer every one go out and enjoy their holiday .In this summer , we went to shara mall with my parent and my uncles .The amusement part we have had ,we enjoyed our time in playing more than one games . Actually the place was very crowded , people like visiting shara mall . un fortunately we were the only girls in the mall were playing , it was a really embarrassing moment to us. The big deal we didn’t care of people ,if they were staring or looking at us we just continued playing and have fun. After we all feel exhausted on playing and starving as well we decided to eat dinner . My father asked us what we shall eat for dinner, I told him that I want to eat MacDonald’s . My father didn’t agree to buy it because I ate MacDonald’s at the lunch . So, my cousin said that she will buy MacDonald’s for me .when my father came to our table , I pretend myself eating another food . awesome our plans worked very much . You know even if i acts normally , my father knew our plan . My cousins laughed at me because I’m was trying to hide my food from my father . definitely It was really nice day . I enjoyed every second moment with my cousins . But the sad thing that we didn’t take photos for us or the mall .

The English language


There are many languages in the world , but only a few of them are famous, especially the English language. There are many reasons for that .
For example:
Many researches and studies had been written in English language, so everyone who wanted to study them must learn English .The second reason is that most of the media and T.V shows use English language . Also most of the people who use the internet use English litters to write.
I think that this language will continue in the future and everyone in the world will speak English by the time .

Children Games
All of us have a memory about his childhood games. In the past the kids used to play with each other simple games with stones on the flour . Most of the games needed simple equipment like wood or stones and a lot of cooperation . Nowadays the games are complicated with a lot of bad images like Monsters and half naked women!. Also they don’t encourage the cooperation between kids. So finally I think all the games companies should make a funny useful games only .

Traditional & modern engagement



Traditional & modern engagement
When a man want to get married his mother goes to any social accession like wedding or parties or just visits some families to see their daughters. When she likes some girl she tells her son and go to propose for their son. Then wait for few days until the bride’s family ask people about the man’s behaviors and every things. This is the traditional way of engagement in gulf countries. But in other side there are few families who let their sons to pick a girl first then marry her. Some people think the second way is better because the bride and groom know each other better before the wedding. In the other hand, most families prefer the traditional way. Because it’s our traditional and it makes sure that your daughter is safe with a well knowing man and save their daughter’s rights. So they get know each other more after the engagement.

I love my country
Who don’t love his country ? who can deny his loyalty ? . Learning to love your country don’t come from schools only, it something grow with you since your birth . I will show main two reasons we love our country UAE like caring and safeness .
The main reason is UAE offers us many things like health care and make sure everyone have a comfortable homes and don’t need anything so it gives us more than it takes .
The second important reason is the safeness. According to Ajman government news, UAE is one of the 10 safest countries in the world . So who can’t love this country!
Finally whatever the reasons I said there will be more and more. But the main important thing to have love for your country without thinking about the reasons.

The weather
Did anyone notice the smiling people in Arab countries and compare them with stern faces of gulf people with sulky mood. Always after waking up and dress up I go to kiss my mother a goodbye kiss and go to the door smiling. The moment I open the door the heat and the light of the sun took off my smile and I already start to feel angry and upset. Every time when I go back to home I feel tired and anxious even if I went to a short trip. I think the people in Europe countries are healthier and keep exercising because of the great weather they have. In other side most of us in gulf countries have high blood pressure with unhealthy bodies and hate to exercise. The main reason for that is five minute of walking under the gulf sun equals five minute in Hell.!!!!

Worker women
Many people argue about if women should look after the home once they are married, and not go to work. According to Qatar news agency, 85% of worker women in gulf feel happy even with the pressure and 80% of not worker women feel happy too.
Many agree with the worker women for many reasons. The main reasons are she can be independent also can help her family financially. Many people disagree because women should concentrate on their personal life more than their professional life . Also No one could do what mothers do, so mothers always must take care of their children.
In my opinion , women should work with taking care of their houses and never forget their children needs .

Arabic

For who was not there in Mr. Kevin class on Wednesday , we were talking about Arabic handwriting. I remember that I told Mr. Kevin that we can write one word in many ways, so I thought it will be useful if you see some examples. I leave you with some picture for the same sentence in Arabic..
It means ( by the name of God )
