Yoga!

hey guys!
Today, I had my first Yoga class. what is Yoga? Yoga is a Hindu spiritual and ascetic discipline, a part of which, including breath control, simple meditation, and the adoption of specific bodily postures, is widely practiced for health and relaxation.(Wikipedia)

So today we started with  half of sun salutation, this included downward dog, cobra, plank, runners pose, and the fold.

the Sunrise salutation

 

 

It was so much fun and it made me feel relaxed and I feel all stretched out. I hope to join a after school yoga class.  

Who i think is an educated person

Hey guys,
So in school we have been discussing what we think makes a person educated and who is a educated person, so I am going to tell you all what I think makes a person educated and who I think is a an educated person.

.

Who I think is an educated person

People might think that to be an educated person means to be able to read, write and do math. But I think that that’s not what makes a person educated. It is true people need to have those things to get through their everyday life but that does not mean that people that do not know how to read and write are uneducated. I think a person can be educated just by living life, by making mistakes and learning from them. Also, where they live and their life situation can depend on what they need to learn. For example,a little kid in Africa can live his or her entire life not being able to write and read yet they   can have jobs and go through life happily. It may not be the way that a person in the city would live but that does not mean the little African kid is stupid.  They learn from their everyday life experiences and by working with others and playing with their friends.

 For some people, there are different things they think they should know. I think Some things are number one for my life and then I think I  should have a deep knowledge about it and then the other stuff just have a some knowledge about it to get me through life and help me think in an open minded way. Things that I think are number one for my life are: reading writing, communication, math, religion and culinary arts (I want to be a chef when I finish school).  Think of my way of thinking about how I think of how important my education is as a letter T. The important things are the like the stem and the the things I think I should know just to be able to live life are the – part of the T. Sorry if its not clear….

What I consider important may be different from what others think is but in the end, I think every one is educated. Maybe not in the way they are expected to be but they have had experiances that they have learnd from and they are educated in that way. So that’s what I think is what makes a peson educated.

Poem

Hey people!
Sorry it has been a while since I posted any thing. So busy with school  and projects and stuff. When will it ever end. Anyways, I wrote a poem in the style of Emily Dickinson. I hope you like it.




A slash of pink
A swipe of silver
Some Orange patches on the way
Compose an evening lake
A little blue- slipped between
Some silk scarf  hurried off
A wave of rose
A whisper of night
That just makes out the evening late






So that was the poem, hope you like it.
I will post more soon ;)

Tour of Oman

Hey people!
I know its been a long time from the last time I posted stuff on my blog. I am planning to get back to posting more. any way so last week I went with my school class to The Tour of Oman. This year it was in Seifah which is down near Matrah(old Muscat). Sadly this years Tour of Oman  was not as cool as last years. It was really hot and crowded and I was hungry from some random reason. But It was good because I got to spend time with my friends and we had fun running on the beach and fighting over chips.

I took lots of photos on the beach, friends and the bikes and put them all in a collage.  I hope you all like it.

Hey People

Hey guys,
So this weekend you all probably know was thanks giving but sadly we didn't get to have a thanks giving dinner. We couldn't find a turkey  so no thanks giving for us. Any way I went to sleep over at my friends house where we ate junk food and watched movies. It was so much fun and me and my friend went on a sugar high.

so I am planning to have a poem up this week so keep your eyes open for it.... I still don't know what to write about so please leave a comment bellow about what I should write about. It would realy help me.

It Was Raining this Weekend!!

Hey guys,
So this weekend, there was a heavy rain, which lasted for three days seight. It was not so bad where I live, but in other places, like Matrah (old Muscat) and Wadi Al-Khod  got really flooded. Anyway,  am going to post a link to show you all what was going on in those places.
This one is about a girl and a boy that were swept away by the wadis.
http://www.timesofoman.com/News/Article-26119.aspx


I think some people here are not very smart when it rains. Lots of people go out in the rain to drive or walk in the wadis which is very dangerous, especially if they go while its raining, because weather and the wadis in Oman can change really fast. 

The Red Arrows

Hi Guys,
Last week, my class and I went to see The Red Arrows.The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, is the aerobatics display team of the Royal Air Force based at RAF Scampton. The team was formed in late 1964 as an all-RAF team, replacing a number of unofficial teams that had been sponsored by RAF commands.(Wikipedia)
It was Epic!!!!

A picture of The Red Arrows coming down together 

     

They made a heart which made all the people fall in love with that trick.

My school class and I standing next to the world great 

After the show, we got to meet the group and get their autographs. They were really nice. 

 I hope you all liked my post.

Kabuki

Hey guys,

`so today, I discovered what a Kabuki is.Kabuki is a classical Japanese dance-drama. Kabuki theatre is known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn by some of its performers.People all over would come to watch it for entertainment. 

I thought it was boring but that's only because I am judging it from my values. 

 So i found a documentary on it with some parts of a play. I hope you all like it.

My Friend 

My friend is my light on the darkest night 

A pile of gold and silver when I am poor

My friend is my diary who I can trust with all my secrets and will never tell. 

My friend is an angel sent from the heavens to live with me for ever 

Till the end.

Hey Guys,
so in school we are learning about Malala, a young teenage girl who got shot in the head for going to school. This week we were assigned to make a visual on a speech she gave or an interview.
I didnt have any ideas and i could only use ripped out paper which didn't help. I had other ideas but the paper only thing didn't allow me to do it.so hear is my Epic fail.

 

The idea was to put the symbol of equality and paint a background but I couldn't use that stuff so ya. plz dont judge.

Hey Guys,
Today I watched an interview with Malala. She has done lots of them lately so I choose one that I liked.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjGL6YY6oMs

I think that Malala makes some very good points about equality and about education such as how the Quran talks about how women and men are equal and how God told the prophet to read. Islam encourages people to learn.  

But I don't really understand why she is so famous.  There are hundreds of people that get shot on their way to school in Afghanistan, India, the US, and a lot of other places but none of them become famous. I think she has become famous  because she did a talk on what happened after she recovered which caused her to be nominated for the Noble Peace Prize.

 I also think she talks a lot about women's rights which really grabbed people's attention on the matter and made people think about it more. She also talks about how education is the key to peace.    

Hi people!!

Hey
Ok, I don't know why my fashion blog keeps posting stuff on this one. So I am still trying to figure out how to stop it.

Hey People,
So today I want to share with you all a very cool current event. it is about a professor who invented a new game called Food Practice Shooter.The game make children who hate vegetables want to eat them so that they can play the new video game. Most kids hate to eat vegetables so turning it in to a game will encourage them to eat, be healthy and play. I also think that if the kids mind is not on the vegetables  they wont really think about the 'Bad' taste in their mouth.

Hey People!! 

Sooooooo, last week as you probably all know was Eid. for people who donot know what Eid is:

Eid al-Adha, or "Festival of Sacrifice", is celebrated by Muslims to mark the occasion when Allah appeared to Ibrahim in a dream and asked him to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, to demonstrate his devotion to the Almighty.

Ignoring the advice of the Devil, who tried to tempt Ibrahim into disobeying God by saying he should spare Ishmael, Ibrahim was about to press ahead with the sacrifice when Allah stopped him and gave him a lamb to kill instead.

The story is designed to demonstrate how Ibrahim's devotion passed even the sternest test, and is told in similar fashion in the Jewish Torah and Christian Old Testament, where God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac.

So Muslims all over the world celebrate it. so Eid was on the 10th. ANY WAY.... on the first day of Eid, me and my family had breakfast of Nutiala , strawberries and whipped cream pancakes. 

Then I got ready to my dads side of the family's house. after over an hour of getting ready I my dad picked me up and we went to say Eid Mubarak to all my family. I got Eid money from all of my Aunties and Uncials.  
the rest of my Eid was spent with my friends in the park and malls. so that about it. I hope I didn't make you all fall asleep.

I Have A Dream 
Hey Guys!!

My class and I  have been listening to the speech by Martin Luther King Jr. He talks about his dream of what he wants the world to be. He dreams of people of different religions and races being able to get along, love, and respect each other.  He also dreams of a world were people would be judged not by the color of their skin but by their character.
In my visual,I combined my dream with Martin Luther King's dream. My dream is for people to be open minded and respect other people's beliefs. I also dream of love and peace and that there would be no war.

If you all wouldn't mind would you please comment and tell me what you see in the image of the tree. I would like to see if you see what I mean.
the link to the last part of the speech.
