Fajita Night

Last night was a fun night. We shared our Tuesday family fajita night with very good friends. Shared the joy of the Mexican night with them. It was a very impromptu thing and I feel they are the best! No plans, no expectations, just go with the flow.
We had some good laughs and spent time talking about what we have done thus far in our lives and what we are capable of doing. Its always healthy thinking positive and since most of us were going thru work hassles, it was very refreshing.
One of our friends mentioned how it was important that we learn something from the people we meet, be it the good or the bad, we need to learn something from that experience.
This morning I read, "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, so that you may know the good and acceptable and perfect will of God". What a beautiful verse to dwell on. Its not as much the worldly things around us that we need not "conform ourselves to", its in the renewing of that innermost thing called mind, where arrogance, envy, covetousness, selfishness, etc. begin. Thats what needs attention. That needs to be worked on and then gradually you will see that the will of God is so easy to accept. Whatever happens you will be able to accept it as you know it is the will of God.
I personally was very happy that we got to share another night with good friends talking positive. What could be better after a long day at work. How could I end my blog without mentioning how my husband does the best fajitas ever; he does the chicken and shrimp fajitas so well. He has not experimented with steak as yet. I do like the steak fajitas at TGIF very much.

NICKELBACK Concert

Last weekend, we travelled to Dubai for the Nickelback concert. It was held at the Dubai Festival City and was part of the Gulf Biking festival. Status Quo played the following day, but I am not too fond of them. The only song I like of theirs is "In the Army".

As for Nickelback, it was worth every nickel we spent on them. Every minute of the 2 hours that we spent there was worth all the trouble taken. We got to see Mr. Chad Kreuger in action. He looks so cute with his new look. His voice was mesmerising.

Daniel impressed the crowd with his drumming. I recorded his drumming for my son, Evan. The concert was more fun as we went with a bunch of good friends from Kuwait and Dubai. I will post some pictures from the concert and if possible some video footage.

Do not miss the Nickelback concert if it comes to your town, they are truly entertaining.

Have fun

I have come to realize.....

....that I have 0 tolerance for those who take advantage of me or someone else. Be it my seniors, my colleagues, my friends or a stranger. I just can't keep quiet and watch them do it. It keeps nagging within me to tell the person off.
Did you know there are people who actually enjoy taking advantage of others, they actually justify their acts by making statements like "oh she can afford to" or, "oh she has the time", or "oh she WILL enjoy doing it anyway". This attitude gets on my nerves, in my nerves and around my nerves.
To be frank, very rarely have people got away with acting that way with me. I am more adamant than a mule when it comes to justice. I wont barge an inch. I NEVER take advantage of a person or a situation, and therefore I feel all others around me should be the same. It drives me crazy to see otherwise. I am not being pompous when I say I am not that kind of a person. I may have a lot of weaknesses in me but this is definitely not one of them. Even when I ask a person for a favor, I make sure I somehow make up for it or do my bit in making that person feel good.
A friend of mine suggested that I butt out of things that do not concern me. I am trying to work around that. This world is such a strange place to be. You look around and you see so much of disappointments around you. No one really cares for your well being, no one is truly happy for you when you do good. You cannot count on anyone to be truly happy for you except your immediate family. Its a strange world out there.
I have a lot to change in me. I do not know where to start. Staying out of other people's cares and concerns should be one of them. My wish is to go into a shell. Be a quieter person. Be a non-interfering person especially when it comes to matters of others. Be calm and composed even when the world around me is falling apart. Can I be that person? I will blog a few months later to see if there has been any changes in me since I did this blog.
