I've Been Tagged!
1) Are you happy/satisfied with your blog with it's content and look?
At the moment, yeah I guess! I want to change some things but maybe later! Need time!
2) Does your family know about your blog?
No. I want to remain anonymous (if that's possible!) as long as I can. I prefer to keep it that way.
3) Do you feel embarrassed to let your friends know about your blog or you just consider it as a private thing?
My friends don't know about my blog. It's private where I can write what I want or about how I feel, whatever issues I have, etc. Besides, most of my friends don't write/read blogs anyway!
4) Did blogs cause positive changes in your thoughts?
I think it's a good idea to read blogs that tickle your interest. Everyone has a different opinion, point of view or perspective that they want to get across. It's interesting to know different views from complete strangers apart from your group of friends or family. I guess it gives you a basic idea how the general public thinks!
5) Do you only open the blogs of those who comment on your blog or you love to go and discover more by yourself?
I mostly visit the blogs of those who have left a comment on mine. Sometimes, when I have time, I visit random blogs just to check them out! If you visit me, I'll definitely visit you!
7) Did you try to imagine your fellow bloggers and give them real pictures?
Hmmm.. sometimes I guess, but then I get a headache and give up!
8) Admit. Do you think there is a real benefit for blogging?
I write what I feel and people comment on it. Not bad!
9) Do you think that bloggers society is isolated from real world or interacts with events?
Some bloggers only write on the news of the day and I think a lot of us read those posts. I don't think we're cut off from the real world. In fact, blogging tells you more of what the public really thinks instead of believing the other media. You can't get more real than that!
10) Does criticism annoy you or do you feel it's a normal thing?
Constructive criticism is good. Argumentative topics will draw criticism anyway. Bullshit criticism to just annoy me... you can kiss my ass!
11) Do you fear of some political blogs and avoid them?
I hate politics. It doesn't generally interest me. But then again, politics is a necessary evil. What I really hate is when politics mingles with religion. Very bad combination. Unfortunately, it's the truth. Religion is misused to get things done and that's sad.
12) Did you get shocked by the arrest of some bloggers?
I don't know of any bloggers getting arrested! What did they do?
13) Did you think about what will happen to your blog after you die?
I guess it will die with me!
14) What do you like to hear? What's the song you like to put its link in your blog?
Music is life. My all time favourite song is "I love you, I'll kill you" by Enigma. If you haven't heard it, get it now! I'm sure you'll like it!
15) Five bloggers to be the next "victims"?

Ok, here I come:
1) Are you happy/satisfied with your blog with it's content and look?
Yes I am! I was bored with the classic Blogger layout, so just a week or two back, I kept my patience with coding and used a new funky-ass template. I love it!
2) Does your family know about your blog?
My younger sister knows. Sometimes I don't know why I had to tell her because I had begun self-censoring but now, I couldn't care. It's my life and it's weird if my family can't relate to stuff I write. So well, she knows and I don't want anyone else to know - especially the cousins - or else I won't be able to bitch about them LOL!
3) Do you feel embarrassed to let your friends know about your blog or you just consider it as a private thing?
Nope, I'm not embarassed since I'm the same in person (all the philosophical blah et al). But I choose the people who I give away my blog address to. Besides, mine is not a 'commerical' blog. I write for myself, not for others.
4) Did blogs cause positive changes in your thoughts?
Well...some YES and many, NO! It got to a point where some of the negativity induced by some bloggers was getting to me and I decided to quit, since life has its own issues already. I didn't want to increase them intentionally. But a lot of blogs have been wonderful (such as Freedom Glutton, Seraph, Arab Lady, 3anooda and many) because not only do I relate to what they write but they are wonderful humans too.
5) Do you only open the blogs of those who comment on your blog or you love to go and discover more by yourself?
I always visit the blogs of people who comment on my posts. But I love random blog shopping (for free) :P I think non-UAE blogger community is a lot better and sane.
7) Did you try to imagine your fellow bloggers and give them real pictures?
Never. I don't feel the need to.
8) Admit. Do you think there is a real benefit for blogging?
I started blogging to get over my uncle's death. Surely, blogging has helped a GREAT deal. I got to meet a few people and also, it keeps me in the habit of writing regularly.
9) Do you think that bloggers society is isolated from real world or interacts with events?
Nope. On the contrary, I think blogging is more dyanamic, updated and real.
10) Does criticism annoy you or do you feel it's a normal thing?
I don't mind criticism at all. Well, constructive criticism, that is.
11) Do you fear of some political blogs and avoid them?
I avoid politics because it's full of shit. People act like they are know-it-all and seriously, I wish blogging changed SOMETHING in that regard. I stay away because I don't have the patience to argue and these days, nobody wants to listen. They only want to brain-wash you.
12) Did you get shocked by the arrest of some bloggers?
I couldn't care...
13) Did you think about what will happen to your blog after you die?
It will die with me but hopefully people will pass by and relate to what I have written till now :)
14) What do you like to hear? What's the song you like to put its link in your blog?
I hate such questions because I can never pick the RIGHT song at such moments. Right now, I'm listening to Hussain Al Jassmi (local singer, from Sharjah) so I'm going say his name. He's brilliant!
As for tagging...it's for anyone who wants to do it :))

I learnt more about gays and soft ppl

Are you happy/satisfied with your blog with it's content and look?
Yeh but no but yeh but no but yeh...
Does your family know about your blog?
My husband and my kids know. Though my older one has repeatedly asked me for the site, but obviously at 10 she is way too young. My husband hates to read and only concession he makes is his BEEMER BLOG
Which suits me fine,because I am an extreme and opinionated person, and he is not one for confrontations.
My family? No.
I am the only person in my family who writes at all, and secondly most of my views have for too long frightened them,as I tendto question the system. As far as they know I am tamed and the perfect mom and housewife.
Friends? Other than the ones I have made here, none of them know. Everyone is so busy all the time, and the art of reading and writing is dying.
BOLLOCKS! that was supposed to preview not publish!!! I continue..
Do you feel embarrassed to let your friends know about your blog or do you just consider it as a private thing?
I consider it a private thing. A place where I can be ME, and not be judged or questioned with my past.
Did blogs cause positive changes in your thoughts?
Yes, I definately think so. A lot of times I have learned many new things. At times many photographs have touched me and lifted me up. Many posts have made me laugh out loud, and some have made me think on issues. I realise I am not alone, and it feels good.
Do you only open the blogs of those who comment on your blog or you love to go and discover more by yourself?
Mostly its my little group, whom I visit regularly. Then someone comments on my blog and I like to go visit their blog. Or in your case nzm directed me to you because of a certain post which touched me deeply.( and made a positive change in my life).
Did you try to imagine your fellow bloggers and give them real pictures?
Not really. The writing betrays the heart and soul. The face is but minor details.
Admit. Do you think there is a real benefit for blogging?
For me it has be cathartic and therapuetic. It has been a return to a medium which I put to rest out of my personal loss. But I promised a friend I would write again and here is where I began in bits and pieces.
Do you think that bloggers society is isolated from real world or interacts with events?
Not at all. Most bloggers are very in touch with everything.
Does criticism annoy you or do you feel it's a normal thing?
We all cannot see eye to eye, and sometimes another view lets us confront what we are afraid to say ourselves.
Do you fear of some political blogs and avoid them?
I do not fear them. But I prefer not to get involved with a discussion which burns our blood and we remain helpless and unable to do anything.
Did you get shocked by the arrest of some bloggers?
Eh? Who?
Did you think about what will happen to your blog after you die?
Have not thought that far.
What do you like to hear? What's the song you like to put its link in your blog?
I love music. I am never without whatever suits my mood at the time.
There are too mamy to name, so I will just settle for my all time favourite.Taj MahalTAKE A GIANT STEP

Thanks kaya! Took you some time, but you answered it! :)
School starts and we go mad. This year I have taken the added responsibility of picking and dropping my elder one with school.
So now the day starts at 6.30am and ends at 2am.
I may try to sleep on the weekend.
Damn! That's a big responsibility! I hate waking up so early in the morning! Hope your elderone appreciates what you're doing!!! ;)
