Myfitnesspal App



I started using myfitnesspal 3 or 4 years ago to maintain my weight and control the number of my daily food calories. This tool is really useful because I was able to lose 7lb in 2 weeks. Also, I can eat whatever I want as long as it is below the daily calories target. Also, you can enter your daily exercises and the amount of calories you burned during this exercises. This is very useful and great. Google shows many results and images from other people experience using myfitnesspal and changing their lifestyle. the app is available on iOs and Android along with myfitnesspal official website.

Child's Play 2


Yeah some of you may know it and watched it ^_^. Child's Play 2 is one of my favorite classic horror movies that was released on 1990. It is the second movie on the Child's Play sequel. I watch it yesterday and I enjoyed it. The funny thing is that I keep laughing when a horror moment come rather than being scared LOOOOL it is really strange how a human get used to scary things that makes it challenging for horror movies producers. They have to be creative and come with a new ideas to scare the viewers =D




Anyway, the movie is about a doll named Chucky continues stalking a kid named Andy, who stays with a foster parents because his mother was taken to a mental hospital due what happened in the previous movie, to possesses him. Chucky needs to do that so his soul will not get stuck in a doll body forever. Andy will get help from a teenage girl named Kyle, who lives in the same foster house, to get away from Chucky.

I rate this movie:
4/5

The Silver Chair


I finished reading The Voyage of the Dawn Treader the fifth book (in Chronological Order) of Narnia series by  C. S. Lewis. I liked the book very much. The author imagination is soo great. He made me go through this magical world and enjoy the fantasy adventure. I like how he described the beautiful nature and creatures of Narnia.


I started reading The Silver Chair once I finished the The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I will try to complete the series and enjoy the adventure.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader rating
4/5

Naked Empire


Naked Empire by Terry Goodkind is the eighth book in the epic fantasy The Sword of Truth series. I started reading this book yesterday i don't know how and I don't know when... I just find myself reading it. Maybe because I miss this epic adventure sooo much, but I feel the guilt of forgetting many things and characters... I read the names but I can't recall who is that!! this is really a problem... Nerd problem to be specific ;) 

I don't know what to do now... do I complete reading or should I start the whole series again? Should I read a quick summary from the Internet and continue reading the Naked Empire? Urghhh I am lost *_*

I can't read it if I can't recognize everybody  (T_T)

The Sword of Truth



When I look at my bookshelves, I feel that I want to read all my books at once. I've got alot of books waiting for me to open them and enjoy the amazing book smell and start reading. I miss The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. I fell in love with this series... I didn't finish it yet. The last book I read was The Pillars of Creation... then I stopped. Not on purpose... I think I read something else and I forget to complete the rest of the series. No I really miss it and I feel like starting the series over. I want to read it again from The Wizard First Rule and feel and enjoy the adventure from the beginning.

I Hate These Memories



Yes... everytime I look at these photos I remember the time my best friend was in USA with her father and brother... her father was diagnosed with cancer and he was there for treatment. I fully understood that she should be with her family at such times... but those times were horrible and I hate to remember them.

Sadly, Her father died few months after getting the treatment and getting back to Qatar. I don't hate death, I just hate the events that come along with it.

Unforgettable


This great TV show is about detective Carrie Wells who have a rare ability that makes her remember everything and can't forget anything at all... they says it is a gift, but she says that it is sometimes a curse... she use her ability to solve crimes and murders along with her partner Detective Al Burns. Every episode is a new crime. I like crimes shows because I like seeing and following up the investigation from the crime scene to arresting the criminal. If you like crimes shows, this is for you.

Rating 4/5

I watch Clannad long time ago and I am watching it again. Clannad is a manga and anime series about a high school student who meets a lonely girl and help her to make friends. Also, in his desire to make friends he get to know these friends more and more and helps them with their problems. It is mix of a comedy and sad events. It is a slice of life with some fantasy. I love the friendship in the series and they way everyone cares about another.

Clannad is one of my favorite anime series....

Anime rating:  5/5

Attack on Titan


Attack on Titan is one of my favorite anime series... I really love this amazing epic story. When I watch it, I forget about everything else... I don't feel anything around me... Because the action... the events...the drawing... the music... the story itself... everything gets your full attention...

I was sad when season one ends without figuring out where the giants come from? or what can humanity do to survive this hell?... 

I watch this anime over and over... and I can't wait till season two release... I hope they will explain more about the giants... it is really a mystery...

5/5

HWJN


I have been reading this fantasy novel by an arabic author Ibrahim Abbas. It is about a spirit or a goblin (I don't know what to call it in english, but we call it Jinn in Arabic) who falls in love with a human girl. As usual, I don't like to spoil the story by telling and talking about the story events and ending.

It is a big change and twist in arabic fantasy novels, because you don't find many fantasy in Arabic unfortunately, but this novel is a good start.

What I really didn't like about this novel is the dialogues, Although the story was written in formal Arabic language, the dialogues were in Saudi informal Arabic language.
Also, the facts about the Jinn world that was given by the writer in the book... I don't know if these facts were based on a solid knowledge and resources. I mean how you can tell if these facts are really true? How can I believe something if i doubt that it is true... that was really annoying...

This novel was translated to English and can be found in amazon.com.

Yes Please


Today early morning, I had to go to one government department to finish some personal requests and I thought it won't take long because I was really early and no one was there before me except for the employees, but this is not gonna happen and I was almost disappointed. I thought it will just take few minutes to get my request done, but the employee told me that it might take one to two hours!!

I told myself to set done and relax doing my favourite thing until they get it done, no need to rush. So, I took a seat and browse my ebooks I already have on my smartphone. Thank God I have some books on it ^_^. I picked one called Yes Please by Amy Poehler. It sounded interesting and I started reading which helped me relax.

This is really interesting, she was talking about herself and what she gone through writing this book and what difficulties she faced. then, it went on to her life in 4th grade and acting in school theater. After That, she was talking about her life in college. I don't want to get deep and talk about the details cuz I don't want to spoil it or anything, but I made it to 10% of the book and it was really good.

I stopped at 10% because the employee called my name and my requested document is done and I went to collect it from her. I like to read while waiting. It really makes the time fly and you wont notice specially if you enjoy what you are reading (^__^)

Anyway, the book is good so far and I am planning to continue reading it.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn


Currently, I am reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Actually I choose this book because it is very famous and I see almost all my reading friends and followers in GoodReads either read it or going to read it. I reached page 123 and I feel that I am really dragging myself through it. I don't know what is wrong exactly. I mean is it me or the book?? I really don't know. I like to read Amy's diaries parts they are interesting, but when I read Nick parts of the story I feel really bored *_*

He keep talking about boring stuff and describing characters in a negative way. I feel he is angry and full of rage. There is something wrong this guy and I am not able to figure it out. I will keep pushing myself to complete reading the book because I need to know what happened to Amy.


Something keeps telling my to ditch the book and watch the movie instead :D ... but I keep saying NO!
I need to give it another chance ^_^
