My love for rain

I LOVE rain! I love walking in the rain while the rain falls on my head and shoulders. I love the smell of rain. After it rains, I love to take walks outside and enjoy the wonderfully fresh smell ! I also love the way the earth looks after rain... the way it is supposed to look! Some people might complain about the rain... But me? No way! If I had to choose a season to live in, I would choose monsoon! I also love rain because of the rainbows. In my entire life, I have only seen 2 rainbows. This year, I hope to see more. In the monsoon I don't have to be scared of the sun! But unfortunately, in this part of the world you only get rain in the winters so if you urgently need rain in the middle east when it's NOT winter, you'll have to make do by just getting dressed for a walk in the rain and then stand under a shower with an umbrella.
I used to love a song when I was young called "Rain drops keep falling on my head". It goes like this:
'Rain drops keep fallin' on ma head
Like the guy who's feet is too big for his bed''



To check just how much you love the rain..do take this test.

I Love the Rain

Too bad I have to wait for a loooong time for Monsoon... Well, all is fair in rain and sun.

Cruelty to animals

25 years ago, Bob Mckeown stunned the world with an investigative report that showed that many wildlife documentaries were staged for the television cameras. They also revealed that animals often died during the making of the movies; all for entertainment values!

Make up is actually tested on animals! Would you believe that loads of innocent animals are dying right at this moment! The very moment you're reading this reading this ! The killing of innocent seals is taking place right now! Can we just sit back and watch this terrible thing considered a 'sport' ?! What have these innocent creatures done to us? Seal skin . Can you believe that people wear seal skin ?? How can someone wear something that once used to be a adorable, innocent thing like a seal ?

I'm not only talking about seals here . I'm talking about all possible animals that have been treated badly! Did you know in some places like Mexico or USA there are dog fights where people pay to see a large
dog completely injuring (sometimes even killing) a smaller, weaker dog! How can someone do that?!

Do you remember your last trip t the circus? I do. And I for one am not going to go anymore. I agree that I had an awesome time, but has anyone ever wondered what happens back stage? Well, I'll tell you. Animals get whipped , beaten , poked my sharp objects and even burnt ; just to learn the routine ! Secondly, the cages: more than half of the day animals that perform in circuses have to stay in cages too small for them. Lastly, circuses choose animals of a very small age because they're good for training. They keep them working in a circus for a long time and then when they think the animal is not useful any more; they let them into the wild. Most animals have been at the circuses since childhood so how are they supposed to know what to do? Most of them would probably die instantly !

Did you know that 18 foxes need to be killed to make one fox fur coat? And believe it or not 55 miks to make a mink coat!

Its not fair to kill these animals or torture them for our welfare !

If you are with me to stop this , join me and many others on this site..

Her Dream


Her hair in a bun,
Her head held up high,
As she thinks of a dream,
She gives out a sigh,

At her first ballet recital,
She lets out an excited giggle,
As she practices her grand jetes,
Her friends continue to mingle,

She imagines the crowd,
As this is her dream,
To be the best ballerina,
The world has ever seen,

As she walks up to the stage,
The music starts,
She dances with her soul,
She dances with her heart,

She dances with grace,
A beautiful sight,
At the end of the show,
The applause was filled with delight,

6 years from now there she is,
Living her dream, 
To be the best ballerina,
The world has ever see.

Why I Love Bahrain!

Bahrain is one of the best places I've lived all my life. I have made friends from all over the world. From Australia to Brunei to Switzerland to Yemen to UK to Holland and many, many more. All from different parts of the world, yet so similar.

I got to see the world famous Michael Schumacher race in the Grand Prix. I got to open up an oyster to find a pearl and it is now one of my most prized possessions. I'll miss not being able to go to Wahoo and The Lost Paradise of Dilmun  (both water parks).

I never knew I'd ever say this but I actually loved my school. The British School of Bahrain is the BEST school I've ever been to so far. I also love Bahrain for all it's restaurants. There's Sushi to Thai food to Italians pizzas to big, fat, juicy burgers, Lebanese cuisine and etc. There's this one place called Maya and it sells the most delicious food EVER. Everything has chocolate in!! Maya has 2 giant cartons in the corner of the restaurant and they are filled with CHOCOLATE!!!!!!! There are pipes connected to each of them and the pipes go all around the restaurant and eventually lead to the kitchen. Unfortunately, the restaurant has closed down and will be replaced by  a restaurant called Fat Burger that sells Fat Burgers. hahaha.

Another reason I love Bahrain is because the weather is extremely predictable except in the winters when sometimes there is more rain or wind. Another thing I've heard is that, in the summer, you can fry an egg on the bonnet of your car (although witnesses say it takes around 30 to 45 minutes). Bahrain also has the most exquisite history in the Gulf even though nobody really realizes it.

Bahrain is also very famous for pearl diving. There aren't so many places where you can go underwater and come up with something so valuable and beautiful. Bahrain has a stretch of untouched desert which is usually used for desert camping.

I definitely miss Bahrain but I'm so excited to be living in Dubai again :D ! I can't believe I'm going to meet all my friends again !
