Looking for a movie...watch "AVATAR" تبحث عن فيلم ... اءتفرج "على أفاتار

What to do on a weekend in Jeddah... hmmm..
Well, my family and I have a tradition. A movie night. Its a trend really since I was a teenager. We used to rent a movie every weekend, gather all together and watch. Remember the VHS. That trend continued even with marriges, kids and all. I, as you are probably aware by now is a movie fanatic. In montreal I didnt even care if I ever found someone to go with me to the movies or not. Most of the time I went alone on intended. I love movies so much I didnt want to be destracted, wispered to, or pay attention to anyone. I just wanted to watch the movie. Now any one who ever lived in Jeddah or is living in Jeddah have creative ways to get the new movies. Let me just say thank god for the internet or we would have been watching movies only if they came out on DVD or excuse me now I have to start saying Blue ray.. wich could mean months and months. I am sorry I just cant wait all that time.
This weekend the choosen movie was AVATARand it was such an exciting choice because everyone was waiting to see it. It had needed preperations.. the right dinner.. the right drinks.. and the right snacks... It was a great hit! cant wait for the original DVD.. opps Blue Ray to come out to add it to my collection of movies in my liberary.. yes its a keeper for sure...

The lonely film "UP IN THE AIR" George Clooney amazing! فيلم مؤثر عن حياة وحيدة فوق السحاب مع جورج كلوني وأداء مؤثر

I just finished watching this movie Up In The Air
and I have really enjoyed it. Anyone who is on the move sometimes we feel like we are actually living in airports and I used to say it "Riding the plane to me is like taking a bus at a bus stop" I don't see the lines anymore and the procedures and the lines seem so natural to go through. I am automatic.. heck most of the times my bag was unpacked because I am flying again soon. Is it a lonely life.. yes just like the film portrayed. Anyone who is looking for a new good story in a film. I think will get it by watching this movie. I thought that the pace of the film would be slow but it wasn't.
It really hit my interest when you listen to all the stories of the people that are being laid off... the stories are real the fears were real... the need of hope was real...
All in all a superb movie worth all the good reviews and nominations that it had received.

Fun Lilliy Cooks "Chicken Noodle Hold The Soap" from Rachael Ray

This is the recipe from Rachael Ray's Official Website:

RECIPE DATABASE
Chicken Noodle Hold the Soup
Serves 4
Submitted by
Rachael Ray
Yum-o! Family Friendly
on 04/04/08
Ingredients
Salt
1 rotisserie chicken
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2-3 carrots, cut into matchsticks
4-5 ribs celery from the heart, cut into matchsticks
2 small zucchini, cut into matchsticks
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound extra-wide egg noodles
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup flat leaf parsley, chopped (about a handful)
1/2 box frozen peas, defrosted (10 ounces)
Preparation
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat for the egg noodles.
Discard the skin from the chicken and remove the meat from the bones. Shred the chicken meat with your
fingers or two forks and reserve.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with the EVOO, about two turns of the pan. Add the onion,
carrots and celery to the pan and cook until the veggies begin to get tender, about 3-4 minutes. Toss the
zucchini into the pan along with some salt and freshly ground black pepper, then cook another 2-3 minutes
until all the veggies are tender.
While the veggies are cooking, drop the noodles into the boiling water and cook to al dente, according to
package directions. Drain the noodles and return them to the pot they were cooked in. Add the butter and
parsley to pot and give everything a good toss to melt the butter and coat the noodles.
Add the shredded chicken and peas to the pan with the veggies and cook until the chicken is heated
through.
To serve, spoon some noodles into bowls and top with the chicken and veggie mixture.

I am a fan of her daytime talk show which airs ( KSA 18:00) on MBC 4 before I started working I love her recipes like she says "Figure Friendly" mostly Chicken and Turkey in the ingredients.. since I have been off this week.. I take small breaks when I rest my mind and I like to take it around the time of her show is on and I got this recipe out of it so I am going to try it.. it seems very healthy.. and " figure friendly" with an extra health value with the added zucchini.. will get back to you on this one...
This coming clip is actually an interview with Michael Buble on Rachael Ray, Its actually a fun interview to watch..

added: mix the pasta when done with a mix of Kenors Thyme and Vinegar use it as your seasoning.. we made this yesterday for dinner and its DELICIOUS that is if you are a Veggie fan and the other thing is I made the chicken breasts in the oven wrapped in foil seasoned only with black pepper then forked it.. its very healthy try it..

Nickelback - Rockstar

This is one of my favorite songs as you can see from my previous post I am very into rock songs I just really enjoy them... I love the way they have placed other singers to lip-sync in this video.. these are the lyrics.. if you want to sin along as well..

MADONNA - 4 MINUTES TO SAVE THE WORLD JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE HQ

I am a big fan of Madonna and Timbaland.. just look at her as energetic as a man half her age.. She really proved that age has nothing to do with it.. I do acknowledge that money has A LOT TO DO WITH IT!!!! but still she puts a lot of effort to keep on top of the game.. I like watching her always and she has always been a good entertainer.. always has a fresh look and a new sound. I still remember my first cassette of Madonna and my father shouting every time I place it that the words are very inappropriate but I didn't care Madonna was cool and till now she still is.

Cloud Number Nine.....

I remember this song.. it brings the most wonderful memories .. I used to play the whole CD Bryan Adams " on a day like today" every time I went to the beach and on the beach... cloud number nine is my favorite on that CD
It was 1999..
I love the beach and the sea.. the sound of the sea is soothing and dreamy to me.. I love snorkeling there is amazing underwater sea life in The Red Sea that you can just get lost watching it underwater on a bright sunny day on one of the beach resorts in Jedd.. Sun, sand and water are my ultimate favourite things in the world.. The Red Sea is beautiful if you know where to go..
It was my weekend tradition.. we .. my friends and I get up early morning on the weekend and gather to meet at the resort for a day on the beach.. I used to pass by and get Hot Tamis ( its delicious afghan bread made on a stone oven ) , creamy yellow cheese, and a cooler full of soft drinks and water... we eat breakfast together.. then rest a little start chatting away and playing our favorite music with our sunglasses and sun blocks on.. then who ever wants to start scuba diving they would gear up, the rest slowly start getting into the water swim and snorkel.. I like snorkeling because I used to hate to gear up for scuba diving and by the shore you still enjoy a lot of the sea life.. then some head out to get lunch after we all settle .. the cycle is reapeated again.. by sunset we all gather up together and watch the sunset.. which is just amazing..
At night we sit around talk, play music dance and the grill starts going we have dinner and then gather our things, head home totally exhausted, clean up and have the most peaceful sleep ever still with the sound of the waves vivid in my ears and the smell of the sea calming me down..
I haven't been able to enjoy any beach or water activities in the past 3 years..
Now I finally feel that I am home again and some of those memories are becoming reality again..
So I want to share with you some of my pleasant time.

What Do You Do To Get Over A Break Up Other Than Sing " I Will Survive"

Gloria Gaynor Lyrics

Ok so I would like to see the difference between what women do and what men do?
What do you do to get over a Break Up? Why do you do those things? I want honest from the heart answers even the weird and crazy things you do, don't be idealistic be real!

Born To Be Wild-!! one of my favorite songs on my Birthday!!! to share with all of my friends..

This is the original song by Steppenwolf- Born to Be Wild- Easy Rider (lol..dont mind the 60s hairdos..)

This is the more modern version done by Hinder - Born To Be Wild - NASCAR on TNT

I think this song explains the way of life of anyone who is free spirited.. so I dedicate this song to any woman out there that has a sprit of being who ever she is and not afraid of showing it to the whole world.. saying THIS IS ME !!!!
I think my parents didn't quite expected me when I was born as their first child to be the way I am, I was and still am a handful-!! but I am who I am and my life was never boring.. so I am thankful for this life..

Fun Lilliy Weekend Woman Delight ( Men you can try it too get in touch with your feminine side)

I always from time to time when I am overwhelmed by work or life .. I try to make a whole day just for me where I just concentrate on my self and my enjoyments.. I try to break the routine.. usually I choose a whole weekend day to do it... that day I dont think about work or troubles.. I think about me and what makes me happy and work on some things to learn or relax.. usually after a day like that I reboot and feel much more energized to deal with the stress in life.. so here some ideas for the women and some of it also works for the men, so please try it too....

#1 GOOD Night Sleep
--------------------
So start with getting a good night sleep the night before..
- Turn off the alarm and the phone at night so you are not bothered ..
- Have a nice chamomile tea
- Place a candle light something like plain tea candles available at any IKEA or even a scented candle from The Body Shop or Aveda..
- Rub on some calming message oil I recommend Aveda Personal blends message formula which you can mix your own blend or any Lavender base Message oil or cream from your favorite products..


#2 GOOD Breakfast
-----------------
- Dont rush out to go out today make time and prep something for your self and enjoy it in your PJ`s with your cup of coffee or tea in your favorite Mug and sit back and enjoy it ..
- Here is a suggestion if you like fruits and oats taken from Shape.com its guilt free you will enjoy that you are eating something really good for you..

Apple-Cinnamon Compote With Toasted Oats

Choose the best buy of the day for your fruit compote, be it peaches, nectarines or apples.
( Note: I add to my oatmeal sometimes my favorite dry fruits or nuts too it keeps you feeling full for a while too )

Ingredients

1/3 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 McIntosh apples, peeled, cored and sliced into 8 wedges each
1/3 cup raisins


Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.

Spread oats on a baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes, until golden, shaking the pan halfway through cooking to promote even toasting; set aside.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon. Set pan over medium heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wire whisk. Add apple slices and raisins, cover and simmer 5 minutes, until apples are tender. Spoon compote into four individual bowls; top with toasted oats.

#3 Fashion is fun for me but read or look up whatever interest you and enjoy just dont read the news its suppose to be a fun day no sad news
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Style is important for me and I look at it as part of taking care of my self...

I thought this was interesting it was made in The Great Wall of China


Anna Sui to me is a fun designer I like some of her pieces:


# 4 Plan something calming to do
--------------------------------
-If the weather permits go outside for a while and walk around
-if not then choose something indoors a museum or window shopping dont shop because you want to do something calming
-if you dont feel like going outside then do yoga or pilate

This is Yoga for Beginners with Tara Stiles



#5 Enjoy your favorite Music and Dance around and just Celebrate Your Self
