New Semester Boooooooos

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Mon, 7 Mar 2011 00:57:00 +0800

This New semester is driving me out of my world and am focused on improving Hanzi(Chinese characters) which is the dark side of my Chinese. Most of the time I hardly hand write Chinese characters bcoz I type it and i get the character without stressing myself…computer made life more easy.

I feel a lot of pressure and am kinda relaxed rather reviewing books or studying for the next week exams. six exams …….thats too much and none of them is in English。The most difficult is the Library directory which is like searching for documents from the Library web using codes to find the exact book out of more than 300,000 files. i don’t know how I will do it, neither my classmates are trying to help so I consider it as FAILED.

As part of my plans for this semester am trying hard to practice adobe premiere, its tooooooooo complicated but the moment you understand and practice a lot, you wont regret it. Its fun and I really enjoy playing with it while am pushing one step forward to my dreams. I wish I started practicing as early as last year or even before that, now almost all my work is on adobe either photoshop or Premiere. Last week I met TV program producer who really encouraged me after viewing my work and even suggested me on doing it as Hobby rather than studies or classwork. He said, the more you enjoy doing it the better you understand. I agree with him at some point though I would enjoy more if it was in English….sometimes it happens, I don’t understand the Tutorial book or either what the teacher might be explaining but that wont stop me from studying. I like being challenged, it will only make me committed and understand better…I Hope things get better especially my feelings which am not with at the moment, am far away from family, friends and community. Sometimes things go wrong and if you dont have good friends or family to give you the courage you need it really hurts, and its painful. You wont realize how important they are until you are far apart, no one can replace them bcoz they know you more than anyone else you could ever meet or live with……and for me sometimes I feel the pain, at some point it hurts me

Lunch with The Somalis....

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 02:39:00 +0800

Alxamdulilah! i just dont wanna complain anymore, and am thankful to Allah(SW) to errythg he gave me. Monday back to classes and am excited people are coming back to school feeling fresh as ever. Still i havnt done any of the Homework i Mentioned on my last post, its on my mind every midday that i wake up out of my bed but i never do it......I cant concentrate and the other thing is i havent installed my Video editing software on the new computer, i have to wait until my friend who have the crack comes back and help me install that...
Yesterday i went to meet four new Somali guys studying another University in shanghai, two of them just arrived here and wont be staying here for long probably till the end of the semester. I had so much fun with them and they were really funny especially when one of them tried to get back change from Public bus driver. in Shanghai most bus routes you can either use transport card or coins so, no one is operates except the driver who checks whether you paid or not but the Somali dude didnt had two coins instead he inserted the machine ten kuai note and was asking the Bus driver to give him back change which ofcourse they dont. I tried to intervene and explained to the Dude what he should be doing but he was very optimistic on getting Back his money....in the end we reached the destination and dropped off.
After little chat with the guys we went to the Mosque for Friday prayers manshallah it was beautiful atmosphere seeing people from all walks of life praying while others listening to the Imams speech. What i didnt realized my days in shanghai are the large Sudanese community based here, they are alot, students, business and some even Hold permanent residence....I met one of them and he told me he been living in these city for the past 20 yrs and thats actually long period of time compared to the Africans living in the city. After the prayers we went to have lunch together and bought large amount of Bread from halal market infront of the mosque.....The guys are from Mudug (indho waa ina adeeradaa) are they dont seem happy here bcoz of so many things that i myself had huge impact on my life.....when first you arrive here things feel different and for you to interact with the mainstream wont be easy unless you have friends who been here before you and that can easily help you relief some of the stress you have. I gave them advice and told them what they should be doing and what they should avoid, Most of the Chinese are friendly and welcoming and you cannot Judge everyone for what one person does so i told them to make friends with the Chinese students and only that could help them improve their language......when i was language student, I never get tired talking to the Locals and even now i always have chat whenever i have the Time and opportunity...Well i hope they can find ways to interact with the locals.
Damn and am feeling split Headache, Hergab is teasing me walahi and in China doctors dont prescribe medicine for Cold so they tell you to drink alot of water and take have Good rest. i was sleeping half the day and will be sleeping the same tomorrow, i Hope i will feel better before Monday.

Life of A lazy School boy

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 01:51:00 +0800

Am kinda getting lazier than ever, i dont feel like doing anything just sleep all day only to wake up in the evening for Food and browse the net all night long. I havent changed my Bedsheets for three weeks now, the sheets color changed from white to brown and after a week dark brown with loads of Bacteria spreading to its Strongest. My clothes everywhere in the room even on top of my Desktop computer not to mention the shoes turned upside down beside my books, i dont think am doing enough for myself but what can u do when find yourself in life circle....The same shit everyday. am not worried about my Future Bcoz i belong to God and my destiny will ever remain in His hands so am just trying be better of myself and since my expectations is from above, i got to do what i got do.

Next week, am back again to classes that sometimes i feel idiot sitting alone in a corner while my shineys classmates eat Qashin and fart in the ten meter room....and worse, the freaking cold wind slicing your skin like mdingoes. I dont think if i will finish the Homework on time but will try my best to finish the important ones and you know what, gonna copy the ones give me mentalmopia..
On saturday was Historic day for Egyptian and for the Arab world as people Celebrated after Mubarak stepped down after being Qatil for three Decades, after 18 days of Demonstration of standoff where Hundreds were killed and more thousands wounded Mubarak resigned....i watched the whole egypt episode and i was wondering what will happen and when will Somalia bring down Al-shabaab Gangs and Clear the Pirates from terrorizing the ocean....Inshallah as we all Hope one day we will walk freedom.
Tomorrow inshallah, am Going somewhere i have no idea what its with a teacher who speaks Arabic. He called Phone yesterday and explained to me something which i guess has something to do with Somali language but am not sure, I think its some sort of Cultural Exhibition. I hope he call me in the After Bcoz it will very Difficult for me to Wake up before midday...

The dhaanto dilema.

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Wed, 9 Feb 2011 17:18:00 +0800

Busy days again, no enough time to update u guys......This week was Hell on earth in shanghai, chinese new year and fireworks from all directions none stop 24hrs.....it was deafening and explosive but amazing when u look at the sky at night.....walahi sometimes it feels like war zone. anyway its over now and people getting back to normal...
In two weeks the school will open again and will have our exams on the second week after opening so i need to study and finish loads of homework with this two weeks. two class i doubt if i will pass bcoz its very difficult to understand and it has nothing to do with my courses, am assuming now that i already failed those two courses i can atleast concentrate on others.
in less than 60 days my passport will expire and the worst can happen if i dont renew it in the coming which am Hoping i will send to the embassy so they can extend for me though dont know he they will but they confirmed me when i called them few weeks back.....am too lazy even things that will have impact on my life, damn u tarahson.
My new computer installed everything and now running, am just happy how things worked bcoz i was worried about the cables that i was missing but thanks to gyula for helping me with everything....i appreciate dude. i will install all the Video and Picture editing programs with in this week and start working on the advertisement project that is still unfinished....kate was asking me about how we edited the the documentary we filmed last semester with collins, she said its great and she wasnt expecting us to be that kinda professional but you know hardwork pays....she dont know he we struggled to finish that project, it was the most difficult short we ever filmed .......hehhehe, and even collins had lost valuable items when were filming at the Train station....imagine all the crowd...anyway am happy how the result came out.

Today i performed dhaanto dance in multi-cultural even hosted by another university, i recruited my friends and taught them the moves and how to dance with the beat.....its awesome and the crowd enjoyed....thanks to you guys who helped make it happen.....imagine we won the third price out of 10 countries and you could see calankii somaliya oo ka lulaya shacabka hortooda....i was so excited and want do more for dalka though its in mess right oo dadkii dhan dagaal iyo gaajo leynayo hadane just wanna prove to the world we still here.

Unfolding Stories. Social Networking Moments

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Wed, 2 Feb 2011 02:25:00 +0800

Am having painful stomach ache and interrupting my comfortable position of watching The live updates of Egypt uprising
The past few weeks i was closely following with news updates from the Arab world which to me as Tarahson is very touching and at some point proves to me that media is very powerful tool. Imagine what happened in Tunisia and now is Happening in Egypt has been organized using Facebook and Twitter by sending tweets to people where to gather.
I have great respect for journalists not all of them but to those reporting from volatile areas risking their lives to share information with the world. i was watching Aljazeera and one of their Reporters was Talking about how the Authorities detained him and Confiscated their equipment despite being warned further arrest if he continues his work and after few hours later he was brave enough to update us on whats going on the ground not to mention those in Somalia Vulnerable to much more than That.
Actually in This country Fbook, youtube and most of the western social networking has been blocked but that couldn't stop me from watching the updates, there is very good site like youtube which i could say is much more friendly than youtube called youku. you can find almost anything, from latest news video clips, film trailers to Somali music Videos which i couldnt believe when i found on the site...But what might be difficult is the language because almost everything is in Chinese. Since youku does not have Live streaming of Aljazeera i turned my computer to TV and watch Live on youtube which i would not mention how am accessing for personal reasons.
I hope the Egyptian wont turn back after all those deadly protests just like the Iranians last year, and i wish them Victory.

Vacation To Sanya, Hainan

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 18:01:00 +0800

A lot of people question when i say am on vacation that am acting different to the fact that am spending loads money but honestly the places i traveled is quite cheap and amazing. i haven't spent so much, i dont have even enough money to buy myself the stuff i need for my daily survival its just few saving i made to change the environment. whatever might be am just having good time with some good people along the beaches of southern china.

Sanya, is a small island city in southern Hainan province of China, its popular tourist destination for both locals and foreigners, the weather is warm all year long with minimum temperature of 16. Few years ago I could only dream traveling places like this which is top spot for celebrities and wealthy people but now the son of Tarah had maybe once in life time chance to join the list.
Still i havent been to so many places but am astonished by the beauty of this small island, The Roads, Beaches and above all the Weather. What makes unique and different from other places are the Buildings, cuisine and mix of culture. I had the chance to walk around and see the communities, have a chat with them just to get to know them. The people here are happy and hardworking compared to Shanghai which is much developed than any other part of the and the country's Top commercial hub.

As i walked by the Beach i saw this young aged woman practicing yoga while enjoying the sun, i guess she is Hot and i was surprised to see such Boobs..very rare to find Asian women with Big bolla Boobs(she made my day) hahaha. The clean blue sea water reflecting the sun and those babes with bikini popping boobs would make you think wanna swim right away with my Jeans on... Few days away from the new year Holiday the beach was not crowded but still you could see more and more tourist arriving. The main street connecting the city center to the neighborhoods you could see lines of restaurants and Hotels puzzling with customers mainly tourists like me who came here to spend the short holiday period. The food is delicious and some how feels like Arabic but mainly locals. There are also western style restaurants worth to mention including one close to beach front, though is little expensive(not compared to other islands) imagine sitting less than ten meters from beach front while you enjoy sea food, listen to the breezing sea wave and feel relaxed.

The night life is great, most of the tourist go clubbing while other enjoy eating BBQ and have a walk along the sandy beach. My friends chose clubbing so i had to part of the team, we went to Club in the city center popular with foreigners and few Locals, Sometimes its funny how people go mad after consuming Too much just like one of my friend who has been drinking since 15....i was laughing the whole night and he was pissed bcoz i could only laugh every moment he falls on the ground or tries to talk to girls while they look at him in a strange way.
Imagine if we had peace in Somalia, i wouldnt be seeing this place as paradise on earth bcoz nothing compared to Home, the longest beach in Africa no one can doubt about that and our unique tradition but for now i can only enjoy other places.Everything is gone far beyond our expectation, i hope peace prevails in that part of the world so we could go back to places we used to call home

As am getting prepared to head back to Shanghai i will definitely miss this place, and i hope in the future i can get chance to come back but with Pocket full of cash....hahahha, not like now broke ass College student.

Poor Country, Poor Service.

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 00:28:00 +0800

The past few days i have been searching the Somali Embassy telephone number so i could ask them if they renew the new E-passport, i found two numbers on their site but what surprised me was the number is personal contact and not the Embassy. i heard about the story of Embassies abroad being sold to individuals and i thought maybe these applies the same...(This is Africa) anything Possible. In the dead end and got frustrated about it i called Djiboutian friend who knew few Somali students in another city and asked him maybe if they can help me, after short while he called me back With the new number different from the one on the Embassy website.......Alxamdulah. Called the number and the Receptionist spoke Chinese(not surprised) asked if she can connect me to Someone who speaks Somali, the consulate(Listening to BBC and Probably Marqaan) but Honestly he sounded more Polite than the ones in Nairobi who act like they are working in UN head quarter....ugu dambeyntiii he told me to send The Passport and 500 through DHL but know what am Broke ass at the Moment and the Earlier the better bcoz my Visa Expires on April so I must renew before April or else i prepare myslef to be Kicked out
.The Days a head only Allah(sw) knows, I have so many unpaid bills until before April and i dont know how am gonna pay. The world is ruled by capitalist individuals who only care about their partners with same motive or background, everyone is on his own and that's whats happening but Hope with inashalah you know things go smooth. i wasnt expecting even i can renew my passport here, maybe back in Kenya or Indonesia which is the only Somali Embassy in Asia fulfills its Duties.

Flashing News

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Sat, 22 Jan 2011 04:04:00 +0800

Sometimes when am alone in the room watching the news flashing images of Somalia i just wonder how long can we kill each other and how long can we recover if ever it happens we unite. Today while watching the news suddenly there was Flashing breaking news on top of the screen, in Bold letters it read. "South Korean commandos invaded Hijacked ship, freed all hostages and killed 8 pirates"........and while that was breaking news the scrolling news bar at the bottom read, Heavy fighting in Mogadishu kills five. another read "almost half a million starving in Somalia" maybe this might sound normal to the ears of Somalis whom most of them witnessed or listened stories from families, but for young Somalis like me who desperately needs a place to call Home feels depressed. i just wish i can fully enjoy Somalia before i die, its such unimaginable how things are going now, Al-shabab, Pirates, corrupt leaders, and father of all Qabiil ruined our dreams, killed thousands and made millions refugees. I can only pray for those people left homeless, Starving under the scorching sun and no one to Help. Walahi this world is insane with Dirty minded people used by money and outside enemy ideas.
May Allah(SW) forgive us and Help Somalis. with Hope inshallah things will change....

Time Goes Fast, Even Faster when you Realize

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 02:10:00 +0800

The past few days i spent mostly in my room doing my own stuff and gathering information for the college blog that am running. its not easy to gather information in a foreign country that you have only lived for few years but with the help of Internet, time and patience things should be fine. few weeks ago i thought i was done but what i didnt realized before was that only one person cannot manage website. its like you are feeding society thats waiting for you to feed them with news, announcement and updates. i feel so tired and i cant wait till 28 to go on vacation, just somewhere i can be alone and do my shit feel hella good.

Today i went to the World Expo site, most of the building are demolished and the site looks like ghost town. few months ago inside the expo site there were more hundreds of thousands people lining up everyday waiting in long lines for hours to get inside the pavilions. now the Expo is over except few countries the rest were Demolished.

I bought new computer today, i looks nice and i hope my works will go smoothly especially the Video/picture editing part. as media student, one of the things you should have is strong computer and Electronic gadgets(Video Decoder, Camera) that you will need in your daily studies.....now i need one more thing to finish all my Homework done neatly and thats NIKON D550. its good camera and capable of so many things, i dont have to be to professional but atleast i can have good view of images and scenery which has been my biggest challenge........inshallah soon am gonna get one .

A week away from Cold

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 02:09:00 +0800

Just added two of my good friends to my blog mailing list, Nuurkeyz and Indho. you cant imagine how much i miss you guys and i wish Liiban was familiar with computer nd stuff so that sometimes we could have some words. The moments we shared together back in Eastliegh is unforgettable and i hope we could meet again somewhere in life journey.
Today again am complaining about the weather but this time things getting out of control, temperature keeps dropping hour after another. around midday it was fine and i even prepared myself to play soccer but upon stepping out of room i felt the cold deep in my bones. imagine people living in alaska or The arctic, i feel sorry for them.
In the evening i was very Hungry and i didnt had food in my room so i had go out to eat, so i thought i had to pack myself with clothes so that i dont feel the cold wind. when i was dressing my friend was laughing at me bcoz i had to put on 2 jeans and 3 jackets which was not even good enough. i dont have act like an idiot just to pretend am not feeling while i have shit loads of clothes in my cupboard. dress up till you feel protected when you get sick people will only say sorry and the pain bugs you up. anyway am sick and Tired of winter and i cant wait when the weather will change.
Since its winter vacation and the school is closed its very boring to stay on campus, i decided to travel just somewhere warm and cheap. The flights are all booked bcoz in two weeks its the chinese new year so the whole country is traveling, like this time of the year, millions travel back to their homes so its not easy to find trains to the nearest towns or cities. I wanted to book early but didnt had enough money so when i got the money the ticket prices is overwhelming adn even could find booking until end month so i got one on 28th. i will travel to Hainan(small island near Hong kong), its warm with beautiful beaches. last year i went there too but i was too dumb to enjoy myself bcoz i didnt speak well in chinese and i was paranoid of everything. This time, Fully prepared and cant imagine i have even written down the places am visiting and How much money, time will i have to spend......am staying there for long just a week and will be back to shanghai.

Winter Break

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 02:46:00 +0800

Finally the semester is over and everyone is Heading back Home or Travelling around the country. The school will be empty in less than a week and already most of the language students traveled accept for those ones working or doing other stuff like me. Whenever I have holiday my mood starts bad, bcoz seeing all the students going back home to have good time with their families fill my heart with stress and Home sick. I desperately need to go back Home to meet my Family and friends whom I haven’t met them for quite long time now.

the winter break mean a lot to me, I have a lot of things to do this short break including big project I have been thinking of for quite some time. Its needs time, patience and ofcourse money which could be the barrier to the next level.

These year I have plans which I call navi plans, its all about my struggle in these insane world controlled by insane leaders. i want to atleast reach certain level till the end year of which am hopeful things will be much better than i even expected. when am alone my head spins with so many thought especially things related to my family and my future, everyday is a challenge and you have to struggle to reach tomorrow but the road is rough nothing is exceptional. although am still in college studying and dont know much about the real world am filled with everything from how difficult its to find job to the daily struggle of survival. sometimes i ask myself how am gonna find job and if i could find what sort of job?. these days professionalism has no means, anything that you are able and would generate some income for you is your professional.

so many stuff that I didn’t expected junked my mind

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Sat, 8 Jan 2011 15:44:00 +0800

The last couple weeks I got very busy, so many stuff that I didn't expected junked my mind. Today I got little time to update u guys but I don't know how am gonna write all that shit I have in mind, piles and piles.

Let me start with the new year, people went out to the city centre to watch the fireworks and enjoy the night life but the son of tarah stayed in his room watching everything on TV including the shakira tour. I didn't want to go anyway bcoz the weather killed me, freezing temperature and windy so I guess its was good idea.

This week I had to finish creating http://baoshancampus.blogspot.com/ blog for the campus students and fill with loads of information about the university and the surroundings. Its a lot of work which needs patience and commitment which I guess I don't have, am trying so hard but I feel very tired. i don't remember the last time I slept before 2am and now its getting worse sometimes I find myself infront of the computer at 5 in the morning. am almost done now just few things remaining and will gain the fruits, I enjoy doing it creating things that people could only dream of and that's what's pushing me to next level. Now I don't need anyone's help when it comes to blog editing or even using CSS/HTML codes and I should be grateful to those who helped me when I was in need. Though my blog is still not updated with most of the things that http://baoshancampus.blogspot.com/ has I still wanna add some few things within these which I don't think it will be possible.

Aden am still waiting for the name suggestion that u said u will send me email, soon I will have break and during these short break I wanna workout on your blog. Later around late febuary I wont be having extra time to do all these so let me know everything within the coming week.

PERFFORMED AND PAID FOR MY SERVICE

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 01:55:00 +0800

The day was good but one of the most tiring days in my history. woke up around 6 in the morning, no shower, no breakfast and just brushed my teeth boarded mini bus waiting me in front of my building. i had two dance performance today of which one of them was 200 Rmb(3o$) for one hour, good deal thou and a present worth 15 dollars yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
i only had two days to practice with my rusted dance steps but things went right and committed myself to train hard for the sake of money.......coz i needed that cash.
in the evening i had to perform again an African dance with my fellow Africans, it was good but i had few misunderstandings with another girl from western Africa. she cant express herself in English so i had hard time dancing with them or even choreographing her, spent almost 3hrs with her showing her almost every step she been practicing for like a week......anyway the performance was for the new party which is organized by the school annually. This year everything was well organized and also had extra performance compared to previous years, Chinese students performed kungfu and something like traditional ballet which was cool. i filmed the whole thing and am gonna share some other but for now am off not even going to class tomorrow bcoz i wont be able to wake-up either.

2010 ENDS

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Sun, 26 Dec 2010 23:23:00 +0800

Just four days and 2010 is over. I had so many experience, interesting and joyful time but sometimes shit happens.......It was so much fun this year with lots of ji hui from different back but it doesnt mean i should be proud of it, doesnt make sense in the end.
I must be grateful to Allah(SW) from giving me the health and happiness that i keep enjoying, and am always proud of what ever i got ........
Tonight was my Chinese classmate's birthday, it was so much fun and as usual i met new people, some of them interesting to know them. we went to a restaurant thats famous with spicy food ( sichuan food) and am sure anyone who likes spicy will say the food is too spicy bcoz of the amount of pepper thats cooked with. the food was delicious and the atmosphere was interesting since i was the only foreigner who was there, most of the Chinese are very friendly and lovely. they always want to make friends with you, hang out and have fun with and thats actually why i like it.....we ate the food( very spicy for me) and since i don't drink alcohol they felt little embarrassed bcoz they like drinking beer with food but i was drinking my orange juice so sometimes it wasn't that good mood for them. we kept chatting and talking about different issues including jokes from Somali pirates in the end everyone had so much Fun.
am so tired but i have alot fo stuff to do, Homework(very crucial), do the laundry and practice for the dance competition which i doubt i can do tonight. i only have two days to prepare for the competition which will a huge impact on bcoz if i perform well, i would win good price which includes money, contacts and fame around the city. am not interested in fame bcoz its not something that enjoy alot, am into the money and contacts in the end that's what will help me improve my standard and also my future. besides am so tired i have to sleep.
my next post more info about something that will have huge impact on my life, its about my future, the first time and am willing to do it. i dreamed of it for so long and its time to do, i wont wait anymore ....probably next week or even beyond.

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 20:48:00 +0800

After few days of money stress nd broke Allah answered my prayers, i atleast i have money in my wallet. today in the morning i received a call safiyo and as usual she dont talk too much or even ask me about anything other than waxeysan shaqo ku laheyn iyo jabhad ogadenia she said write down this number. i was so excited and so excited bcoz when u dont have money in a foreign country you cant do anything, and i meaan it anything except being idiot in ur room. i wrote down the numbers and after less than half an hour i was in the bank withdrawing the few hundreds to buy medicine before its over. as i said in my previous post am very bad on sticking to my budget but now am serious on everything, will count every single coin that means no lots of going out with babes nd Buddies.

FRUSTRATION

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 00:56:00 +0800

Am so Frustrated, and am so tired of everything. i know a lot of people back home think am enjoying so much here but only Allah knows what i go through everyday. Life aint easy here, the most difficult part is studies. Courses that have nothing to do with your profession, books that you dont understand, Homework that you will never ever do in the right way, and understanding the social life of the college. i have tried my best and i wont give up trying but at the moment things not right especially studies which is getting more difficult. This semester i have video editing and Chinese calligraphy courses as part of my semester courses, i use adobe premier for the editing which i have never used before and again its in Chinese so understanding the words of which some of them have been translated from English is too annoying. i get used to Corel studio for video editing and photoshop for pictures, corel studio is not the same as adobe premier but almost have the same features. i have been using this program for more than a year which means it wont give me hard time finishing my Homework on Time but as most of the News media prefer Adobe premier we have to Learn how to use it and get familiar with all the features. i love though because it will make your works look more professional as long as you know how to use it.
The year is almost over few more days remaining, and am so grateful to Allah(SW) for giving me everything that i have without Him nothing could have been possible.
recently my biggest challenge is BUDGET, i dont have any budget and as college student who dont have part time job or any other source of income other than the scholarship its challenging. you must have budget and plans for everything and that means you must have guidelines of everything that you do but as for me i dont have anything except what makes sense to me. i spend money like aint nothing to me which is wrong perception, i hope am gonna change the way i spend nd make a budget at least maybe i can save few pounds every month.....if i dont do that then am gonna be broke every end month like now, am broke i cant even buy myself bread hehhehe.
Winter was officially announced yesterday by the local meteorological department, am not fun of cold nd snow. i hate myself when the winter season is approaching, you cant do anything and i makes me more lazy. i remember back in Kenya people use to complain about Hot weather, although its very Hot you cant compare to cold. i wish i could go back Home this winter vacation enjoy with my family and friends...tell all the weird stories i have in mind.....and meet my mum. i never thought i will ever miss my mum like this, i usually communicate with her but that is not enough and you wont realize when you are with your family how much you love and care about them until you are far away. The best part of life is when you are surrounded by your family not even best friends this days, people are getting stranger including myself.

Well it been almost a month since i wrote my last blog, and i have been very busy with studies. let me start with the exams but before that i wanna write this post in one of my Favorite(chinese) languages and i love the most .........hahhaah, i think am not annoying anyone.
最近我很忙，只有礼拜六的时间。上个月考过了半学期的考试，成绩不太好因为有些题目看不懂。。好友认识的案写不出来我真的很难过。我自觉得我的汉语水平还好不过考试的时候很难考，我考试之前准备了一个月时间每天下课后出学校外面的咖啡店复习考试的内容，没办法。我就想学中文，了解中国文化我知道不好容易不过我有能力过时间我会好的。我最大的梦想是会写全汉字。。。我希望到到我的梦想。
今天下雪了，不是怎么打得下但我真的爱不了雪不方便什么都做不了因为天气冷风刮也大。。。我下课后就回家了不想出去吃也不要了点了外卖就可以了寝室一直开空调我不太喜欢空调但没办法。我蛮喜欢上海很美还有交通也方便，两年后大学毕业那时不知道在这还是回国但我想技术生活在上海。

Football, people here play aggressive

noreply@blogger.com (Tarahson) — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 01:55:00 +0800

Today, The weather was Great so i went to play Football and when i say Football i dont mean the Football guys play back home, i mean something i call it wrestling football. people dress up like real footballers, expensive Nike shoes, good quality jersey and Full of energy to break a leg so easily. i have never been tackled before since i remember stated playing Football, people here play aggressive and any minute you can easily break bones or sustain serious wounds. sometimes we play as a foreign team but play against the locals whom some of them love playing Football and excited to play with us. they are so friendly and have much respect than we do but things get rough in the field. No one knows his position and no one knows How to tackle a player, its whoever has the ball and how you can get the ball out of his legs no matter which direction his is facing. even the foreigners, some of them never played before so they just wanna have fun but turns to a bad day for them.
Today i played for quite good team and i was playing in my Position(Central defense) not a good position to play but better than Forward and it happened one Vietnamese player tackled me with Full body, i mean he used all his body to tackle me while i was dribbling the towards the corner. i fell down and hurt my knee, it was very painful but i have to stay strong. This is something i get used to bcoz whenever we try to play its rare to comeback with out any injuries not broken bones if you are lucky enough. sounds like karate Football.
anyway i didnt Forgot to blog blog about the weird story i had to share with you guys, i hope am gonna find time tomorrow to post but its already late night, 3 in the morning now.
