S.O.S.

I am an internet addict..
and I don't know what will happen..

IF..
I don't have a broad band connection.. OR a digital radio.. at the NOW!!

Let them believe that girlies, Campaign..

I must be the happiest girl today, Cairo...
With the sound of The Lady "Om Kalthoum" wafting to my ears from the other room.. The weather is just FINE.. and I'm sitting to my little Blue babeh, blogging ;) ..
What else do I need?!!

Phew, it was a LOOOONG day.. and the pre-conference sessions, already are turning me NUTS.. URGH..
Imagine what they asked us to handle next time!!!
"If we could have a successful brain transplant between a man and a monkey.. What will be the changes in the monkey's behavior, if its going to be changed in any aspect... !!!"

They can't be serious.. YET THEY REALLY ARE..

hehe.. "What's to become of the little poor monkey now?!"
He got to be imprisoned in the devious, mean, evil, nasty humanly attitudes...
PITY you monkey monk!!


You should have joined us when we started that debate: Men are smarter than women.. NO COMMENT fellow men...
**Tada Tada Bing Bang Boom** It was a complete hassle believe me.. With the attacking females' side, and defensive males' one.. it was hilarious guys.. believe me it was..
Men were really ready to do anything, ANYTHING, just to believe that...
Let them believe that girlies.. LET THEM... hehe
He who laughs last *winks winks*


OK, apart from all that, I have an important decision to announce..
I will leave this blog as being personal.. No problem, friends.. Its going to take some time. But I think I can manage that..
Yet, I'll be telling you all about the HR development latter on, in a separate blog... I am already excited... just I wana have a proper blog name.. and I'll start right away...
So ANY ideas?!!

Goood Night Cairo..
Enjoy tonight's (Late Cartoon Show) program.. Ossama seems high, up to cloud # 9

Eeew, Cover Letters..

Eeew, I just lost the presentation I was supposed to handle tomorrow in the conference (had I mentioned anything about that before?!)
(O remind me later, OK?!!!)
(H-E-L-L-O any body listening!!! WILL YA!!)
(I can hear the echo.. :-( already, huh )

Anyhow, so as I am left alone all night to re-write the whole presentation OVER AGAIN!!
I think of making any use of this blogging thingy, and I'll share with some bits and pieces..

Cover letters are not optional. Employers expect them whenever you send, fax or otherwise transmit your resume. Its like your resume, a representation of you. You will want to make the best impression possible.


Types of Cover Letters:
* Letters of Application are the most common type of cover letter. These letters are
sent to apply for a specific position or to respond to a known opportunity.
* Letters of Inquiry are sent when it is not known if there is a position available. Use these letters to request information about the organization, available positions, and application procedures.
* Networking Letters are sent to get information, advice, and suggestions about career
plans and opportunities. Indicate if someone referred you to the reader. Be specific about what information or assistance you are seeking.


Important Tips:
1. Address your cover letter to a named individual. Address the letter to the Human Resources Manager, the Director, or to whoever seems appropriate in the organization to which you are writing.
2. Don’t waste your first paragraph by writing a boring introduction.
3. Do send an original letter to each employer.
4. Project confidence, but DON'T be arrogant, negative, or too humble. Instead of "I know my skills and abilities will fit into what your company needs." Use "I hope to use my skills and abilities to further the goals of your organization."
5. Your letter should answer the question, "Why should I hire this person?"
6. Keep it brief. Three or four paragraphs are sufficient.
7. Use simple, uncomplicated language and sentence structure. Avoid cliches DON'T send a cover letter containing grammatical errors, misspellings, or smudges.
8. Do keep your letter brief. Never, Never more than one page, and it’s best to keep it well under a full page. Each paragraph should have no more than one to three sentences.
9. Don’t depend on the employer to take action. Request action. Request an interview, and tell the employer when you will follow up to arrange it. Then, Do So. It is imperative that you follow up.
10. Be sure the potential employer can reach you.
11. Feel free to write a company a second time if a reasonable amount of time has passed with no response.
12. Inform the employer that you will call to discuss the possibilities of an interview and DEFINITELY follow-up and place that call.
13. Sign your letters, preferably in blue ink.


Follow-up:
Seven to ten days after mailing your cover letter and resume follow up with a phone call to inquire about the status of your candidacy.

*** Don't Worry, I remembered to back up this time :D ;D

Dear Whoever again,

Dear Whoever again,

Three months already passed, since I first had this blog and posted my first entry. Yet, still I hadn't made my mind: What's To Become of It?!
LOL, that reminds me with the drama "Pygmalion" by "George Bernard Shaw"!!

Shall I dedicate my page to politics and current events or religion.. Or shall it be science or technology.. Engineering or literature then!! I wonder..
In fact, I am not into any field specifically.. Its I like having bits and pieces from here and there.. Without being attached to a certain theory or ideology.. Moreover, I haven't had the proper response to show whether anyone out there following or not!!! May be I am too hasty or too demanding, I don't know..

So until I can figure out something innovative and catchy to an Egyptian blog, can't you help me with your wildest guessings, and drop in any ideas!!!

As for now, I gota catch my lunch..
C ya..


PS: NEVER dare to ask me.. Why all this FUZZ?!!
Cm'On, I just can't bear having a page described as: Personal..

Is it really Breaking!!!

After i read this breaking news on one of the Egyptian Blogs..
"This afternoon at Cairo University the Popular Campaign for Change held the third Anti-Mubarak demonstration in two and a half months"
I remembered this quote..

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.

Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

Your lullaby..

Fly birdie fly.. till you reach laughter in their hearts.. then back home, sing me your lullaby
I will spread my arms and close my eye..my dreams will turn as crystals in my hand, to shine the world and light for the blind
then open the window.. ya welcome sight..
come back birdie.. fill me with your lullaby
tonight I'll fly up high
till dawn, I'll dance stars in sky..
then hush me, hush my soul
tonight I will die.
at last I had my world, when I heard your lullaby..

I have some free gmail invits.. so if you want any, just drop by your name and email.. and I am going to send it right away...

Keep in Touch..

Right Now..

Stop for a moment and calm your thoughts.
Let go of your anxieties and look around you.
What do you see?
You see a world filled with beauty. You see a life filled with possibilities. You see dreams being born, being nurtured and being fulfilled.
Yes, there are challenges, sorrow, violence and hatred.
But more than these there is love, there is goodness, there is joy.

The future is uncertain.
And that means there is no limit as to how beautiful and joyful you can make it.
Yet what you have is right now. And right now is completely as it should be. It is your time to live.

Think of what a precious thing your life is and how truly blessed you are to be experiencing it, Right now.

Right now, any anxiety you may have about the future is only an illusion
Let it go, let it fade away as beauty and perfection of right now wash over you.
The best thing you can do for the future is to live with everything you have in the present
Right now, you are in a position to create real, lasting positive value for the world in which you live.

How do you do that?
By following your heart and being the YOU that is really YOU.
You may have wandered away from yourself. Now is the time to come home.
You know in your heart that you're here for a reason. The pain you feel is that purpose, that reason for living as it constantly aches to break free.

When it does, you'll be more alive than you ever could have imagined.
Breathe in the beauty around you, the beauty of richness of being alive
It is your gift, your fortune and your blessing. And it is yours to live, to experience, to fulfill. Right now.
