American Food

American food is usually related to the food that usually cooked fast which is fast food. When somebody say "let's go eat American"; it doesn't mean eat a person :) but it means eat fast food. American food has many kinds like Hamburgers, Hotdogs, Sandwiches, and other kinds of fast food. Personally, I like it and often I eat it once a week. Sometimes I cheat and I say "IN-N-OUT isn't fast food" because I love it a lot. However, eating such that food a lot will cause many health problems for you. It contains a lot of fat and it doesn't have what your body needs? 

This food is inexpensive and you don't need to wait for it long time. When you go to McDonalds, you will pay like $5 to get a combo meal. However, when you go to a good restaurant, which serves healthy food, you will pay at least $10 in addition to wait long time for the preparation! 

If I will compare the american food with my own food, I can find some similarities and differences. Some types of food in my country is really rich and has a lot of fat as fast food. For example, Sambosa and Mosaqaa are fried and have a lot of fat! Other types of food is really healthy. It contains most of body needs like vegetables, meet, calcium, ... etc. I wish I can find this food here in California!

Journal #9: Optimistic Quote

This quotation means that the person ,who is an optimist, has the hope and insistence to do whatever without hesitation or fear of fail. That person has positive feeling toward the life and take advantage of every opportunity . While the pessimist works in the opposite way. He or she thinks there are difficulties and problems in every opportunity. He or she is lake of hopeless. 

I completely agree with this saying. It describes the real feeling of a person who is either pessimist or optimist. Like this saying can be applied by trying to overcome difficulties and try to be successful in everything. Work hard and have hope to reach your goal. When you see difficulties and you don't try to overcome it, you will be pessimist and you will fail!

In general I am a optimist person. I have hope and ability to take advantage of the opportunity without hesitation or fear. As an example, before I came to US some people in my country said you will face many problems and you may not succeed in your study there and don't wast your time! If I'm crazy I would hear them and stay there. But I have hope and challenge to achieve my goals, so I took the advantage of the scholarship and I came here.

My Best Friend & Me

Can you live without friends? But I don't mean any friends. I mean friends who they are very close to you . Share your feeling, be your sensing, and help you to overcome life difficulties. I met a lot of people and I have a lot of friends but are all of them the best friends? No, they are friends but I can't say all of them are the best friends. 

One of my best friends who is Ali share with me a lot of ideas and thoughts. I met him when we were in the elementary school. From that meeting until our relationship still strong and hasn't changed never ever! We have the same goal in our life which challenge and face all difficulties in the life. Don't say "oh! I'm not lucky or I'm not a succeed person" just be strong enough to achieve your goal. We share the same opinion about politics and rules either in my country or in the world. We like sports such as: soccer, pool, bowling. Traveling and camping also one of our hobbies. We like action and scary movies. 

There are some minor differences between us. I like trying new food from different types. However, he likes just Saudi food which cause some difficulties for him when he travel abroad.

To learn about cultures I like listening music from different genres and countries. While he likes Arabic music. 

Your best friend will share a lot of things with you. Not only share you but also act as a part of you. Despite some minor differences which can't affect friendship you must keep your relationship strong and tight up.

Journal #7 A Superpower

When you have a superpower ability to do something unusual, you will be unique. Everybody will look at you as an abnormal person! They will surprise about your ability. Of course some them they want that ability to be theirs!

I know it is kind of dreams to have like a superpower. However, if I have a choice to have it I'll choose back in time superpower. What I mean by this is the ability to go back in the past and see how people lived in the old times. I really want see people life about 1000 years ago. How they delt with life? How the climate was? How thier food was? How their geograghy was?

Also I can move to the past and try to fix any mistake that I did. Not only my mistakes but also mistakes by other people I want fix them. I will move between present and past life. In the past life I will tell people about their fututre. If there is an earthquick, tsunami, fires, or any accident, I will tell people about it in advance.

Of course this superpower will be known by people. It will not be my secret becuase I want this useful for me and humanity...

Journal #6 Crazy talking animals

Have ever spoken with an animal? I know you may say this kind of crazy, but I believe that one day we will be able to talk and communicate with animals. When that happen, you will see people make friendship with animals hang out, work next to you in your office, or even use them in wars.

I can't imagine the situation when you set with your animal friend, co-worker, or classmate. You talk with it and also tell the jokes! When you go shopping, you will take your animal and ask it there if that t-shirt or jeans fit is OK for you! You may go movies with animals friends, Mr. Falcon, Mr. Hores, and Mrs. Dove. Also, you may discuss a topic or even political issues with them and share the ideas.

Now I have some questaions for Mr./Mrs. Animal:

What is you opinion about humans?

What are some changes you will expect them in the future?

If you have a chance to lead a country or city would you like to do this?

Hint...

I have a bird in my home country that can speak Arabic :) I love it and I missed it...

Journal #5: Music

Many people like different genres of music. They like music words, sound, special effects...etc

I like listening to different types of music even if I can't understand the words in that music. Usually, I listen to Arabic music and other music like English music, Mexican music, and Italian music.

Since there are many countries which they speak Arabic, there are many types and styles of Arabic songs. Egyptian songs have their unique style which differs from other styles like Saudi style, Morroco style, or Syrian style. 

I like Saudi style because its words, sounds, and everything are memorize me places, family, and friends. It also simulate our culture and life. Saudi singers like Muhammed Abdo, Talal Maddah, Abadi Algohar, and Kaled Abdulrahman are my favorite Saudi singers. I like Muhammed Abdo songs because he mixed between good words and strong sound. My favorite song for that singer is "Yogol Meen Adda". I like this song because it tell story about man who faced many problems during his life and he overcome it. This song give hope to live in my life in a good way with ability to overcome life difficulty.

Journal #4: Weather

Weather can effect my daily life. If the weather so cold I'll be very sad and inactive. I like clouded weather especially when it rains. When it rains, plants and flowers will grow in the desert. You can't imagine how the view of desert will be in the spring season.  In my home country I go camping with my friends or my family during spring. We stay there many days there and we enjoy camping there. Sunny weather is good also because you can walk and go everywhere without being wet as rainy weather. My problem with sunny weather is when become warm. Because I came from very hot weather in my country which look like fire in the summer, I don't like californian weather during day!

Journal #3: Old Fears

Many people have different fears from different things. Some of them still have it until now and some of them overcome it. When I was child between 3-5 years old I was afraid from many things. The worst thing that I was afraid from it was guests. Sometimes I couldn't sleep alone because I felt someone will come to my bed and hit me or even kill me! I saw in dreams guests and I woke up all night and walked to my parents room. After 5 years old the effect of this fear became lower and lower. My family helped to overcome that fear by telling me that isn't true and guests aren't exist. Now I want see guests LOL! I know it is kind of crazy but really I wish to see them during my life because I believe they are exist in our life but we can't communicate with them. I heard stories about guests from many people whom saw them but in my opinion that stories isn't true because I haven't seen them never ever.
