Happy Birthday to My Dearest Father

Happy Birthday to my dearest Father today!  We love you so much! Get Well Soon! Lord please give my Father the strength to battle his illness. With your healing hands I know you will give him the courage to overcome his troubles.

...Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go ... Joshua 1:9

Summer Is Here

It's the start of the summer and humid season in Saudi Arabia.  Today we experienced a very uncomfortable hot weather in our place at Al-Khobar, added by the high humidity of the climate at 38% in the morning and 79% in the evening. The temperature rose at a staggering 40 degrees Celsius.  This is the beginning of the summer season in Saudi Arabia.  The coming days ahead is expected to be a hotter one.  

Renovation of Our Office

I will totally miss the set-up of my workstation in our office.  The  management decided to totally renovate our place which was built last 1997.  They decided to modernize the set-up of the layout and to design it with a more friendly set-up.  Here are some of the snapshot of my present workstation. Truly, this set-up will be a thing of the past.  I will post later in a few months after the renovation is completed.

   

My New DELL Laptop

After three years of using my Toshiba Laptop, I decided to buy a new one to catch up with the latest technology.  After taking surveys and interviews with some experts from different computer shops, I finally choose a DELL brand.  I bought the new machine from Jarir Bookstore in Al-Khobar and after some questions and queries I choose the model of Dell Inspiron N5010. The specifications are as follows:

Intel Core i3-330M Processor 2.53 GHz
4 GB DDR3 RAM 
500 GB Hard Disk
Camera - 1.3 megapixel
15.6" WLED TrueLife Display
DVD -RW
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium
1 GB Dedicated DDR3 VRAM
With 1 year warranty

The system is quite fast as I expected and no problems in browsing the internet.  And it seems I'm happy for the time being and I hope I will not encounter any trouble on using it in the future.

Shades of Inspiration - Life's Passageway

1.   Good to begin well, better to end well.
2.   You don't have to fight to be a man.  But sometimes you have to fight when you're a man.
3.   Do not trust appearances: they are often false.
4.   Seek somebody who communicates with you in laughters, because one laughter could turn a day into a joyful day.
5.   Do not interest yourself in wealth: it will disappear.
6.   Open your arms to change, but don't give up your values.
7.   Make peace with your past, so it won't mess up the present.
8.   Make every moment of your life be filled with joy.
9.   Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
10. Should you encounter a problem along your way, change your direction, but not your destination.
11. The very best we can give each other is our love, not our advice, and certainly not our judgement.

12. When your feelings get strong for someone, it's always wiser to stop for a while and give your heart a time to breathe, a time to use your mind, to weigh the situation based on reason and not on emotions.

Welcome 2011! A New Chapter of LIfe

Another chapter of our life will be open for 2011.  I'm wishing everyone a blessed, peaceful, and healthy  existence for this lucky year!  May God bless us all!

Peace on Earth Goodwill to Man!

To My Dearest Mother

Today is a very special day for our family.  A very special person is celebrating her 69th year of life which our Lord God had given her.  We all consider her the greatest gift God had given to us.  She is loving, compassionate, soft spoken, hardworking, and most of all kindhearted. The person I'm describing is no other than my dear mother.  I can no longer find any superlatives I can tell about her.  After raising seven children in her entire life, we are giving her back the special attention and care she deserves. I believe its our moral obligation to give her the love she had given us.  I'm a living witness of how my mother sacrificed her life to raised us to be a good and God fearing individual.  Without her, we don't exist here on earth. My only wish and prayers on her special day is to have God give her good health, stronger body, and more years to come of living here on earth.  To you my dearest Mom, Happy Birthday and I love you!

Merry Christmas

Faith makes all things possible,

Hope makes all things work,

Love makes all things beautiful,

May you have all the three for this Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

PEACE ON EARTH, GOODWILL TO MEN!
