Why do women cry easily??
A little boy once asked his mother ' Mom why do you cry'?
she said : I cry because I'm a woman.
The boy said : I don't understand.
His mom hugged him tightly and said: You ,my child will never cry
later on he asked his father, 'Dad why does mom cry'? his father shrugged and said : Oh all women cry for no reason!
The question bothered him, he still wanted an answer so when he grew up he asked a wise man.
Why do women cry easily??
And the wise man replied: Son, when god created woman he made her special. she was made to have shoulders so strong as to hold the toll of the universe, and at the same time so soft for us to cry on them.
She was given the ability to forgive and continue caring and advising even when her children would think that she is intruding.
God gave her the strength to keep going even when everyone turns away from her, and the big heart to care for her family, in sickness and in health, in good times and bad. She has been given the gift of unconditional love that she has for her children even if they hurt her.
she has been given the strength and patience to cope with her husband's faults and stay with him through thick and thin.
Finally, Go gave her tears. To use when ever she feels the need to cry, to let it all out.
My son do you understand that a woman's beauty is not in the clothes that she wears, or her haircut , or makeup. Her beauty is all in her eyes. The door to her heart and soul. where all the love lies. Through those tears you can see a big heart full of love.
To all the ladies out there.. Cheers!!!

Typical working day

7:30 my alarm goes off.. i drag my self out of bed right away.. i dont snooze, i think the snooze button is for losers .
7:40 Im in the kitchen making my coffee , and thinking 'GOD why do we have to work ..whyyyy!!'
7:45 I make my bed, start my pc till my coffee is ready..
7:50 Mug in hand, i sit and breath. I think that 7:50-8:30 am is the calmest time of my day. im the only one up. my phone isnt ringing , its awesome!!! i check my emails and reply to them. check my facebook page, forums download songs.. etc the whole nine yards
8:30 The fun is over . time to get up and get ready to leave . pick out what to wear and pack a light lunch and out the door i go at 9:00
9:45 I'm in line getting my latte from starbucks,did i mention that there is a starbucks right underneath my office .. 'happy happy joy joy moment' its great .. caffeine fixes at any time during the day to keep me sane
9:50 I'm at my desk. working on my 'huji' breathing techniques that i picked up from my yoga class ..
10:00 My day has just officially started.. smile yasmine smile
10:00 Is always hectic. i dont know why. staff members run in and out of the office .. confused for no apparent reason .. i sort them out .
10:00-10:50 Its mostly calm at this time, i look through what i have to do during the day and fix what ever has to be done for the days following
10:55 -11 Staff members back again. funny ones i tell you! some are loud , energetic, some are confused .. it could get rather annoying for me to repeat my self 70000 times for tiny little things that have to be done. God are people slow or am i a genius!!
11-19:00lets cut this short how about that, for the next eight hours ill be on the phone practically none stop. booking, confirming, cancelling, convincing, explaining , translating ...and and and...the list goes on till my throat is dry and my eyes are blurry.. and its 19:00
19:10 Im out .. note i can never get the chance to leave at exactly seven.. just cause some people dont seem to understand the ethics of business hours and think that we should be at the office around the clock. and whats worse is that they take their sweet time!! ughghhhh
by this time there would normally be two scenarios . eithere i cross the street in a zombie like state head to the metro, hop on it and almost pass out get out and cab it home, or if I were still feeling fresh i would make some calls and send some texts to my friends during the day (shhhh dont tell) and we meet at a bistro or a lounge to sit and recap about our days..
22:00-22:30 I'd be at home. chitchatting with my mother. checking up on my brother. and then excusing my self to go to bed since i cant keep my eyes open.
7:30am my alarm goes off..........

Dear ol' Montreal


Great city i tell u!
Montreal for those who havent visited it ,has the luxury of Paris (paghee) mixed with the fast pace of New York city... once you hit down town you'll understand what im talking about .. youll see business men practically running down the streets juggling their blackberries, laptop bags and starbucks lattes.. and us Montreal ladies are fully coiffeured from 8:am. in tailored suits ,louisvuitton speedys ..trotting along the streets in 4 inch stelittos .. most of us run out of the office to get a quick manicure in our lunch hours.. uhhh the things we do!
then after the shifts end for most its at 5 pm, in mycase 7pm.. thats when the make up is refreshed .. the hair comes down and the nite begins.. Montreal has the greatest Resatrants.. Bistros.. Bars ..lounges..patisseries .. cafes ever .. there is just so many!! and so many more are opening up.. u can please any taste and u always have something new to go and check out.. so many hot spots.. so many single girls .. yet not so many hot guys .. wonder why.. having a 'carrie bradshaw' moment here arent we now... lets just keep our fingers crossed that i do stumble upon my 'mr.big' in one of these places and boy will they get good reviews from me.. !!!
oh boy a new phone!!!!
im sooo sorry nokia :C ive been pulled to the dark side..im now a black berry user.. and i am.. liking it!!!! its the back berry bold.. with every easy access features that u could ever imagine and wifi .. so im all set and ready to go.. emails.. im's.. msgs u name it.. im always conntected dudes!!!! see i dont know if thats good though .. cause im always connected.. connected to work... home .. friends .. everyone!!!!! not a second alone.. i cant remember the last time ive actually turned off my phone.. ive fantasized abt it .. just to press that OFF button and have peace of mind for a couple of hours.. never gotten my self to do so yet.. hopefully soon.. ive had it on silent ..and vibrate.. thats as far as i would go.. and did decide to forget it at home accidently on purpose one day when i stepped out for a quick walk around my neighbourhood.. it was nice to begin with then i had to cut it short and go back just because i kept wondering who would have been trying to reach me...
*sigh miss those days where all u had was a beeper .. and then it was up to you to get back to the person and could make up any excuse for why you didnt call back and get away with it.. 'simplest one would be : i couldnt find a pay phone!! or i didnt have loose change' .. *sigh

My phone .. my life.. my agenda.. my secretary ... my planner ... without it i would fall to pieces!!!! not only am I sooo loyal to Nokia... but when its a Nokia QWERTY!! Im in heaven
i jot down notes.. i freelance whenever the little writer inside me wants to ... its just a fabulous phone to suit my life style.. ive heared comments as in it being such a big phone and it doesnt suit a lady.. welll not in my book .,, its solid .. steady trust worthy .. and my the bigger the better !!


face book!!!!! one of the things that has taken us by surprise and Im definit that you my friends as well as I and people all over the globe can no longer think of not being able to check their facebook page during the day... dont get me wrong I love facebook BUT what did we do before it emerged?? just like everything else in our fast paced life it has its pros and cons.. pros as in how happy I am to be able to get back in touch with ppl who I've lost contact with since I left my country fourteen years ago ..which i believe is the main purpose of having such a site.. cons on the other hand are people who use it for perverted reasons and needs.. even though such ppl would switch any simple clean site to match and accomodate their nasty needs .. ughhhhh im sorry but internet pervs just get on my nerves!!!!!!
oh another group of ppl that get on my nerves ... ppl that facebook during working hours!!!! no matter what u tell me ..its un ethical!!
