I was passing by the 5th circle few days ago, they were shooting a video for a lot of police women there. I thought they were doing it for one of the local TV programs. But today I figured out that it’s something else.
Now, it has been a month after Her Majesty Queen Rania launched her first video on YouTube. Today the 4th one has beeen launched with the sense of “24″. Take a look on the video that shows by itself that we are way beyond stereotypes, it has really good effects.
For the second year, I’ve decided to work so hard to submit my new idea for my “take 2″ of Queen Rania National Entrepreneurship Competition (QRNEC). Well, luck was not by our side last year to be one of the first 3 national winners but it was an amazingly amazing experience that is worth the second trial.
Zina, Hadi and I were very ambitious to make it. But the lack of experience was one of the main reasons that we couldn’t make it for. I believe that it was a brilliant idea and an applicable one, Self Service was a dream that I will keep dreaming of until I see it in the real life, unnecessarily done by the Self Service ex-team.
The third video of Queen Rania on YouTube has been added an hour prior to writing this post. But for me, it’s the best out of the three video. Simply it shows how much Her Majesty is interacting with the people who are commenting or responding by videos on her videos.
This time it was mainly about Arab women, and for me, her reply on the comments was very convincing. Well, again an amazing initiative. Let me go to start thinking of a response while you are watching it; the response needs a lot of work this time apparently.
I heard about a band that’s called Akher Zapheer more than once. I didn’t have the chance to listen to any of their songs, but the other day I was watching a part of Al-Arabiyah news and they had a reportage about that band at the end.
Akher Zapheer as I got it, is a Jordanian band that plays the Underground music with Arabic lyrics. Basically I didn’t know if they have more than one song, but the one I heard its name is “7ob Ayam Zaman”; and it’s a good one up to an extent.
While I was surfing YouTube, one of the videos was very marvelous. It was showing a home that has essentially 18 bedrooms with an ocean view and 22 bathroom. That is Donals Trump’s home which has a big price tag with $125 million. This home is located on Palm Beach and it’s the most expensive in the US.
Sometimes I feel like I care about people more that caring about myself. I always wanted to do something that keeps my touch in the society and I’m still trying.
Few months ago, I was talking to a lot of people about volunteering and how much we lack volunteers in Jordan. Most of them was like “yes, you are right. We hope to find somewhere to volunteer at”. I thought that it might be the miscommunication between the organizations that need the volunteers and the volunteers themselves. So I started to look around for those firms that need the volunteers in order to organize information so I will be able to get back to people with some helpful information.
As I was planning, this morning I was very proud to introduce our new blog LOUD SIGHS, which will definitely be an extraordinary platform for you guys to express yourselves and to discuss all the issues that matter to you the most.
Loudsighs.com is another trial from my side to change I have done this website and video within one week, I wanted them to be some sort of different replies on the video of Queen Rania that has been published on her page on YouTube (but UNFORTUNATELY IT HASN’T BEEN ACCEPTED FROM THE MODERATOR OF QUEEN RANIA’S CHANNEL AS A REPLY), though I hope that this initiative will work as expected.
A list titled (Power 100, The World’s Most Influential Arab, Rank list of 2008) has been published on Arabian Business website. I was taking a look on the list but there are some comments from my side on it:
The name of my favorite Lebanese director “Nadine Labaki” is there in the 5th place. Nadine, the director, was the director of 2 of the most successful movies in the Arab world. “Al-Bosta” and “Caramel – Sokar Banat” in addition to the amazing music videos she has done for the artists especially Nawal Al-Zoghbi’s one “B-3ainak”.
As a part of its new natural history series, The BBC screened remarkable footage of penguins flying. I was watching the video on YouTube, and it is very convincing but the problem that I knew that it’s BBC’s April’s fool before watching the video:

Last year on the 1st of April we all read about the new invention of Google’s staff, the one that helps you to connect to the internet using the TOILET! Definitely it was April’s fool.
Today, I have received an email about this year’s fool from Google. It was more creative and Google AdSense was the target. But what was it?! Here you go:
“We’re happy to announce the launch of AdSense for conversations, a new type of monetization solution that “puts the ‘context’ in contextual advertising”. Now, in just a few simple steps, you can begin displaying ads that are relevant to the topics you’re discussing – in an unobtrusive screen above your head”
