New Super power

Alaa Abdelhaq — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 08:55:26 +0000

I wish I have a super power that give me the ability to change my mind and body state!
for an example:
After waking up early morning and going to job and having my cup of tea and sitting behind my computer to start coding.
I close my eyes and start state control.
Then I choose the following states:
Mind : Sleeping for 8 hours.
Body : working normally as If am awake and able to work and talk to people.
after 8 hours a trigger is pulled and I back to the normal state.
and whats nice about this power is that I can remember every single thing I did from work and any discussions made!
Then I can leave to home very happy for sleeping another 8 hours!!!

Why humans cant have such powers??

Why 99% I’m not gonna marry an Arab girl

Alaa Abdelhaq — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 16:09:14 +0000

I started to feel am getting old in age, life is getting boring everyday.
I may started to feel lonely and started to feel the need for a girl in my life.
I need some real descent relation in my life, that may be translated into marriage!!
I know am crazy but yeah marriage!!!
So whats next? start looking around for candidates!
reality hits here!!!
No candidates
Why?
I’m an average Jordanian Muslim guy, my family too. we are neither
rich or poor, we are in the middle, and being in the middle is so hard, you wanna
move up and forward and you cant look down, and you cant step back at any cost! even if the cost was marriage itself.
Honestly I cant marry Jordanian girl, cause she and her family will swallow me like if I was a panadol pill.
Truth hurts I know!
but Why not a girl from here? I will tell you why:
1- One of her parents if not both, are greedy.
was asking some girl what is the “MAHIR” your family requires?
she said maybe 3000 JD plus the “JHAZ and shitty stuff” , I felt am talking to some merchant owner! or you can say a prostitute!! yes prostitute sorry!!
2- 90% are narrow and old fashioned minded.
3- Shallowness.
4- Brain washed.
5-Incapable of making decisions.
Girls are 2 types, either a puppet or a master of other puppets!!!
6- Not welcoming the idea of salary sharing.
7- Most of them don’t have a goal in life or dreams but to get marry and have children!
8-they say they ambitions, but when you ask her what is your dreams, she just shut-up.
9-They want to live like their mothers and grand-mothers, they are not thinking to break the cycle and search for different life.
10-they dunno the meaning of adventures.
11-they want to be equal with men, they study go to universities and work as men, secure good positions and some times they own businesses, but when it comes to marriage, they hate equality , how ironic.
Believe me I have millions of other reasons!!

I was so crazy to think of marriage.
I came back to my mind and I will never think of it again!

My post does not apply for all girls, am not stereo typing here!
but majority are

I will appreciate sharing with me your thoughts.

That’s it!! enough!

Am so sick of being here living here everyday!! dealing with this shit on daily basis
dealing with nonprofessional people all the time! working with no quality people!!!
professionalism is missing from our life! in the street in work in the mall at any place you may go to!
customer service is just a word we speak!
day after day I become more disappointed about the whole situation here, I cant see any hope for the future
for this country to get better!!
as long as the majority here had no quality we will never change or get better!
for an example and believe me there are millions of them, if I started to talk I will never shut down!

Went to Reebok with my friend at Mecca mall to buy some stuff, so at the cache a girl working there told us that they are missing the serial number of this item so she cant provide us with price!!!
then with confidence she said please come tomorrow in order to have it we will have the price ready!!!
What the fuck r u talking about!!! come tomorrow! the item price is 75JD not 2JD from Abu 3abid store!!!
I told her noway we are coming back! call your stupid managers of you to get the price!!
then she said our HQ is at Dubai!!!
So what call them!!!
she found it easier for us to come tomorrow instead of calling her stupid managers at Dubai!!
fuck them man!! I regret the moment I went to buy something from there!

OK different story, recently am looking for a car, so I went to Opel to see their cars, while am there some of their cars does not seem like brand new, so I asked the guy working there,
are all cars here new or there are some used cars?
then he gave me the “Dawaween” look with the “dawaween” accent said “Inta sho ra2yak?!??!”
I replied am very sorry thanks for your support see you later.
he didnt even try to say anything and left away!

I worked in many companies in my life, and am wondering how the hell most of them secure good
titles and salaries!
the hell they don’t know what they doing!!! most of them have no quality and not even close to professionalism!
Am not asking for perfection but at least something normal!!!

here you cant work like normal people!! I really wish to have a real job someday with a real smart people,
people who are looking for change looking for future, not people living in a daily basis chaos!

If you want to eat at any restaurant here in Jordan either low or high class, service sucks all the time, from the moment you pace inside to the moment you leave

Seriously I don’t wanna live among this community no more,, I really dunno how to break through?
please don’t tell me to try to change it, cause its a hopeless case, it’s a lose-lose situation!

Am so sad it was destined for me to born and live here, am so sad!!
really this is enough

Advices for freshmen seeking jobs

Alaa Abdelhaq — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 08:10:14 +0000

Where to go where to work and what is the best for you?
let me talk about myself here,
I studied Computer science as my major and banking and finance as a minor.
while studying at university you keep on dreaming that you will find the perfect job
directly after you finish as you carry a computer science degree!!!
then reality hits!!!
the Jordanian market is fully occupied with people holding the same degree, and the salaries scales are very low!
you get confused and lost, is it fair to work for 180JD ?? is this what I spent 4 years for?? just 180JD!!!
that is not enough for me to go and come back from work!!
was computer science the wrong major I went into??
then I decided to change my stream after reading books for months while sitting home, and all in vain!
sales sales sales we will pay you good, you will get extra money as you work harder, and you will meet with many people!
Thats good i guess, screw programming and all software companies who’s wanting to suck my blood!

journey starts here,
at first I didn’t care whether if its a big or a small company! I just cared about money!
so if you are a freshman search for a big company not a startup one, even if they pay less, the reason you will get to know many good and stupid people.
from people you will have the chance to learn from their experience, just avoid stupid people
you will learn to be more disciplined, and you will in many cases understand how business runs the company, you will understand the structure of the company, and you will know exactly what you need to do to improve your title and salary, plus it will increase your chances to get interviews in other companies.
at first I was happy new work new experience, but! after this i start to feel numb this is not what I want this job is killing me, sales for losers! its the job for people who is not willing to do anything about their lives, after a year its the time to search for a better job, it must be sales again cause I am 1 year late on IT field
here you will have the choice to continue your life with this job or just stop and start again!
I was stupid not to stop here!!! Always stop when you hate the job cause your life will be a hell!!!
I decided to search for a job out of Jordan and it was sales also!! I had the chance to work in Dubai with a very big bank, as we agreed in the contract I will do something I like, but after I got there it was totally a different thing but I stayed!!!
always make sure the contract is clear and fine, and when you start the job and its different than the contract directly stop and leave!
time is precious really, i just realized this lately!!
after spending another year I reached a point in which I couldn’t take it anymore, so I decided to back and start a new life a new Job faraway from banks and sales!
my station got sensitive and critical here, I need to improve it now!
so as my major was computer science I guess I need to come back to it, as the IT sector got bloomed within the past 2 years.
so always stick with the major degree you get cause you spent 4 years from your life to make it!
so the best thing was is start studying the market and companies with my IT peers.
always ask your friends and people with experience and always avoid your mother and father as they will never understand what the hell is going on!
after asking and seeking I decided to go in the WEB stream, and I will learn again PHP, searched the web for the best books; got it; and start learning like if I was a freshman
Always have faith in what you are doing, and if you have the willingness you will make it for sure!
I wont talk more I guess this is enough
Thank God I came back to my major, now am a senior developer with a very big company called maktoob
