Back Again - For how long this time I don't know...

I’ve just not had the commitment to update my blog recently. I am hoping to revive my interests again at least to put an update every now and again. It seems in my absence quite a few interesting bloggers have called it a day or taking time out. What a shame, really.

Well where do I start…

I was back in Abu-Dhabi over summer and had a wicked time. It was the first time in years that all my family (brothers & sisters) were actually reunited and under one roof. Of course this time with the added pleasure of having my own family; consisting of my loving wife (E) and gorgeous daughter (Little M).

Little M loved it as she was occupied all the time. She went from a quite home of two to having nine to play around with. We took her to the beach for the first time. Initially, she was terrified from the sea and the sand but she enjoyed her time after that.

We had trips to Dubai’s Wild Wadi, City Centre, Souks, Restaurants and Sheesha Café’s. I was pretty much fed-up of Dubai by the time I was leaving.

We had a memorable trip to Al-Ain were my dad decided to take us the Zoo in mid-afternoon. I was gassed out just walking from the parking lot to the park entrance – it was ridiculous but we ended up laughing about it later. We drove up Jebel Hafeet and ofcourse my favourite part of Al – Ain was swimming in the natural springs even though I could only last about 10 minutes or so as it was extremely hot.

Times in Abu-Dhabi consisted of linking up with my cousin who I haven’t seen in 6 years – we were really close before and I thank him for showing me a good time. We had spent endless hours in sheesha café’s chilling, playing cards and ofcourse every Arab’s favourite pastime argueing ;o)

On the whole it was a much needed holiday to be honest.

Are you Green ?

I realised there are a lot of peeps out there that need some serious help in dealing with their insecurity, jealousy and envious issue’s. Seriously some peeps out there are so envious of the UAE’s development they can’t wait to post some slander. They skipped through all the colours and turn green with envy and jealousy.

Many people don’t want the UAE to be successful or at least not as successful as to eclipse their own country. They cannot deal with the fact that someone other than themselves is the centre of attention. Those poor poor souls need some help and even though I am no psychologist or Doctor, I’ll try my best:

1- Understand the emotion: Jealousy is usually a combination of fear and anger; a fear of losing something, and anger that someone is "moving in on" something that you feel belongs only to you.

2- Envy:Do not envy you have control over envy, so stop looking at what is not yours. Some people find it helpful to count their blessings or ask for help.

3- Communicate your feelings: Sharing your true feelings with someone without blaming them can create a deep sense of connection between the two of you and open up a dialogue about the path of your relationship.

4- Change any false beliefs that might cause jealousy. There are often false beliefs that underlie jealousy and fuel emotion. If you examine the belief, many times, you can eliminate the jealousy.

5 -Irrational jealousy usually stems from your own insecurities and low self-esteem. Address these issues first.

I hope this helps a few people otherwise just grow up.
