A Comical Charade...
Back in November I decided to take a long break from blogging. It just wasn’t doing anything for me anymore. Instead of feeling better and more relaxed after writing my ideas, opinions, and complaints, it aggravated me. Frustrated me. People put me down continuously, and although Im a fighter, I can only take that much before I explode. Unfortunately I did run out of steam and energy. My words weren’t making a difference. I was dumb to think I can change the world!!! But after two months of hiatus, I decided to come back. Hopefully this time the posts will be different. Just to recap what happened in the past 2 months of my life, here are some of the highlights which I will write in two parts.
Part I
Nov 17 – Dec 6:
Work was getting far more stressful and exhausting. Tension between some of the US govt Leads and program managers escalated to a new high. Nasty words were being exchanged across the room on many occasions which made all of us in the vicinity very uncomfortable. I just couldn’t wait to get away. Come December and I started getting myself ready to meeting HUBBY after the longest three months. From waxing to plucking to shaving to scrubbing to doing my nails. I felt like I was getting married again. A bride on the verge of meeting her husband for the very first time, lol.
Dec 7 – Dec 9:
The big day arrived and after a sleepless night of packing, I finally made it to the airport. BIAP was as always a packed place with people pushing and shoving trying to get in line. Unfortunately, all the RJ flights on the previous day were cancelled and so they had to place all those passengers on the flight I was booked on. I was extremely flustered and so not ready to wait for the next flight. Fortunately, having been through this havoc many times previously, I had made the decision of purchasing a business class ticket instead which kinda holds a better chance of a guaranteed place on the plane. Arrived in Amman, checked into the hotel and the waiting for HUBBY began. He was arriving a few hours after me. When I heard that familiar knock on the door, I jumped and ran to the door. It was extremely comforting to be once again in HUBBY’s arms. Felt like another honeymoon ;-) Next day we boarded the plane on our way to AD.
Arriving in Abu Dhabi was just bliss. I was finally home. My mom apparently spent days upon days cleaning and renovating our small shell of a flat. The minute we opened the door, our mouths fell agape. It was like entering into a completely different place. I felt as if I was on a home makeover show. I LOVED IT. My mom on the other hand had ulterior motives. She went through all that trouble so I wont ever go back to Baghdad again. She made the place homier, livelier. And honestly, I was really considering not going back. December 9 was my birthday. Best part of it was being with HUBBY and my family. As with every birthday, all the kids (nephews and niece) came over to help me out with blowing the candles. And ofcourse with all the frenzy and the kids’ spits from trying to blow away the continuous flaming candles, I still managed to make a wish.
Dec 10 – Dec 19
The fourteen hour flight to Australia began. Two hours into the flight, and 2 still nox tablets, HUBBY was fast asleep. I on the other hand, watched about 4 or 5 movies and had a minor panic attack due to my breathing problem. An hour or so before landing, HUBBY wakes up only to look at me and say “Wow, are we there already? I didn’t even feel a thing!” No kidding!!! And there I was, bloodshot eyes about to kill someone. Arriving into Sydney was a huge disappointment at first. Weather reminded me so much of London. Dark, gloomy, cold and rainy! I couldn’t believe my eyes. This is supposed to be summer time! The only long sleeve clothes I had, was the denim jacket I had on!!! This is NOT good.
Our hotel was situated in the Rocks area. First day we walked to pitt street and checked out the shopping. If anyone was looking at us with a telescope from the moon, he woulda seen 2 zombies walking aimlessly amongst the busy shoppers. I was so out of it. Next day we took a city tour and visited many of the famous landmarks. That same day, we managed to do the Sydney Harbour Bridge climb. The whole process took about three hours. It was an amazing experience. The weather was still bad though and I literally froze my ass ontop of that bridge. One important and extremely vital footnote that no one mentions to you before the climb is “AVOID walking AFTER climb. YOUR LEGS WILL KILL YOU”. Yup, and so for the next 2 days, my calves felt like a 2 ton rock. I couldn’t even lift my legs without flinching with pain.
The Blue Mountains was somehow a waste of time since the weather wasn’t being helpful. There was fog and rain everywhere. Miraculously though, the sun shined on us the next day. Yaaaaaaaaaaay. We took a ferry and visited the zoo. We also enjoyed a cup of coffee overlooking the harbour. It was beautiful. Ofcourse no visit to Sydney is worth it without visiting the Opera House. I fell in love with that structure. I fell more inlove after listening to the story behind it. Sadly though, we had to leave Sydney and head to Cairns.
The hotel was amazing over looking the pier. We managed to do everything on our agenda. Visited Port Douglas, HUBBY snorkeled in the most beautiful reef in the world. I just sat on the boat watching him. I would have gone down too if it wasn’t for my panic attack regarding my breathing problem that I have been suffering from. By the end of our trip we were so ready to go back to AD and just relax. The jet lag totally killed us in Australia. On several occasions, I would take the opportunity of lying in bed while HUBBY checks his work emails. He’d murmur something like “Cmon honey, lets go out for dinner”. My reply was always “Ok sweetie, lemme just finish watching the Simpsons and I will be ready to go”. Before the episode is even finished I’d be already in la la land while still wearing my jeans, jacket and socks. Any attempt from HUBBY to wake me up and help me out of my clothes resulted in a few kicks where it really hurts, hehe. Poor HUBBY, he had to learn the hard way in not messing with my precious sleep!!!
I will stop right here. Part two will follow in the next post. Before I go though, I wanna comment on the changing of the flag. Its totally ridiculous for the parliament to pass that law. Instead of wasting time and money on what colour should go where and what the stars should resemble, they should figure out how to protect the innocent people that are dying day in, day out. The flag wont protect the school children that are becoming a continuous target of death. The flag wont bring back electricity in this severe winter that we are witnessing. The flag should be the last thing on their darn agenda. But do they care? Does anyone care? Its going to be almost 5 years, 5 years, and the Parliamental Charade continues. And it is a Charade. A Comical Charade…

Hey girl, so you went to oz? I am glad you liked the Opera House, it is beautiful indeed. Well keep the posts coming, as I like to read what is going on in the life of a courageous woman, well educated and traveled and living in the hottest place on earth at the moment. cheers.
Welcome back NIW, glad to hear that you're ok. I expected that you went on R&R since it was the end of the year but the length of your absence from the "Blogosphere" made me (and a lot of your friends) a bit worried. حمد الله عالسلامة

ya hala wo ya marhaba!
Dear NIW,
I'm so glad you decided to start blogging again. I read your for the first in either September or October and check every other day for an update. I want to apologize to you for the ignorant humans who were so negative in their comments. I have been very interested in reading your blogs, being an American woman and reading your blogs gives me more info on what is really is going in Iraq. Our government likes to make it out like they are doing the Iraqi People some kind of huge favor. Believe me,when I say that most average everyday Americans do not agree with what our government is doing there. And I agree the flag is not as important as human lives. Things like that happen here everyday. We hear more on the news about what is going on in Britney Spears or Paris Hilton's life than we do about Iraq. Or thr rest of the world. I personally don't think that the lives of celebrities should be more impotant than world issues. Like I said, glad to have you back I look forward to reading your future blogs. kaydi96@hotmail.com

Neurotica,
Thanks for the post. I always enjoy your viewpoint.
Dwitt
Hello
I am a Metis from Canada. I really have enjoyed reading your blog for quite sometime. Don't worry about all the mean people who post comments, the World is full of them. But there are also those of us, who enjoy your straight from the hip shooting of facts you see.
Welcome back, NW! I've checked your space at least every 2-3 days and was getting 'concerned.' As to reaction to any negative posts, it's easy for us to say 'ignore them' but I know it's a no-win situation for you. You give us your honest thoughts and reactions. The least we can do is say 'thank you' - or simply ignore you. The fact that we're here is a tribute. I welcome your return.
Sign me just a Texas fan.
Thanx to all of you. I do apologize for not writing, but I think I was in dire need of a break.
Kalipaus,Thank You. OZ Land was just beautiful, if it wasnt so far away, I would have definitely considered living there.
Usama, Happy New Year!Thanks for your concern. Im back, and hopefully I wont let anything deter me this time!
Buj!!!!!!!!!!!!Hey, did you visit il Emarat this Xmas? It was amazing, the whole place seemed very festive especially with the Eid. AD is changing dramatically!But I hope it wont reach Dubai's state...I prefer the quiet, family atmosphere of AD...
Hi Kathy, funny you say that about your news. I guess, us being here, we wanna know whats going on with the celebrities ;-). I know exactly what you mean about the media, but then again, too much bad news just makes you lose hope. In the 2 month period that I stopped blogging, I also stopped watching news believe it or not. I was fed up and depressed. And I think it did me good to get out of that negative atmosphere.
Olaff, it is a charade and it will continue to be one!Im not sure when will the outside influences stop. Its not only Iran thats meddling in our business, there are many who dont wanna see a settled Iraq...
Thanx Dwitt, Anon and my Texas fan (I never knew I had one) :-)
Anon,
I thought you were dead!!!
I already tried to figure out when you had died and what had killed you.
Anyway, it is very very very nice to have you back!!!
Hi Neurotica
So good to have you back blogging again. But how come you came this far south and didn't visit little ol' New Zealand!
Glad you had such a long break and a special time with hubby. Will be looking forward to episode 2!
The flag? What is it with politicians...it is a constant debate here whether to change the flag or not. What's the point? When everyone knows which flag represents which country and changing it only confuses the rest ot the world. And so many bigger things remain left unsolved.
hala ya neurotica!
yes i was there for xmas.. i visited AD and Dubai.. it was super.. of course Dubai is crazy and AD is calm.. i much enjoyed my stay in AD.. and prayed in the new Zayed mosque.. beautiful stuff.
peace always.

Welcome back, Neurotica. I, too, was worried about your extended absence and had been checking your site daily. It's good to hear from you again.
Sharks are the last bits of solitude our Earth holds absolute in referential dependency. The only comfort we have as adults are the time honored winds of connected species. When the nature of chaos is relevant in wisdom shared in childhood games... In the wisdom of profit... the hardest work was not putting those toys away, it was the turmoil felt playing with them. If money can turn a Man into a Shark then our solitude bound in the permanence of our inorganic environment... Children are the only people working on this planet.
...We could trust and identify with nature..... You're leading me to believe we are not surviving in an Immortal state of bio-chemical stasis and it is actually 2008? Evolution is for Babies. Repeat after me, "We are living in Bio-Chemical Stasis." Can we keep Dogs? Because you all are rolling in your vomit babies. *SLAM*
NIW,
Glad to see you back. Some vacations require a vacation from the vacation, no? I spent 3 weeks in Florida in December and was so glad I still had 2 weeks of recovery before returning to school. We drove from New Mexico. The drive home took FOREVER! I'm sure once clinicals start, I'll wish I were still on the road...oh well.
Always,
Melanie
Hi NIW, i am so glad to read your blogs again. i was really worried on you. Next time you decide to come to UAE, if want, let me know and i will invite and you and your HUBBY (i am very goood in making Iraqi Masgoof fish).
yummy masgoof.. yum yum
can you make masgoof with stuff other than fish?
btw, i had to wait 3 hrs for the masgoof to be ready at al bait al baghdaadi in dubai.. and it was worth it, the best fish dish in the world!

All I can say NIW is,"OMG it took that many relatives to blow out your birthday candles!!??" ( Solo ducking thrown objects) :D Welcome back, Solo
Hey NIW, I think you're being a little pesimistic about the flag. All those problems you listed that they should be working on aren't going to be fixed quickly. That's just reality. But, I believe that a simple flag could speed up the process, if unity is achieved.

Hey Buj, last week i had Masgoof at Samad Rest in Dubai......... u should also try it.
QUESTION IS?????????DO THEY DO ALSO PREPARE !!ALL THE OTHER DISHES MENTIONED;EARLIER BESIDES JUST MAASGOOFF FROM "ABU-NAWAAAS" ST "SHAARI3-ABU-NAWWAAAAAS" PLUS BAAAGGILLAA & SHALG3AAM? ALL THE KUBBA SORTS & MARGA & DTHOULMA & HARREEEESSA & SMEEED ????MY FRIEND SAYS???& OR SHOULD I SAY ASKS???

I'm just rewriting her posts in different words. Adaptive communication provides a contingency for reproach. Limiting volatile complex with a Ping-Pong styled assortment of meaning maintaining the readers focus. A focus'd reader progresses in thoughts rather then in action and in that respect less children are left dead in the school yard... No matter what Betsy Ross wants there favorite colors to be. Even if Betsy Ross plays dumb while nerves twist into bloodshed that could be prevented. Comparison yields understanding. If you are playing dumb in order to test an unreasoning hypothesis can I be angry when the Wicked Procreate? Unless emotions make you feel powerful? Maybe you could destroy a Thanksgiving dinner for a euphoric High... or something? Fiends are irresponsible. Bottom line.
salaam Alaa, thanks for that!
where is this restaurant? I'll definitely try it next time.. is it better than al bait al baghdadi? is that even remotely possible?!?1
Hey NW,
Just curious. When the Lancet Report came out in 10/2006 you expressed misgivings about it. However you said:
"I am absolutely outraged at the outpour of people disputing these numbers!!! I mean extremely disgusted. I dont care who committed these crimes, but the numbers are correct."
Now that the report has been exposed as bunk, do have a different perspective on those who denounced it?
Welcome back, NIW!
HOW ABOUT!!?? THE OTHER LISTED DISHES ARE THEY A REGULAR FEATURE ON THE REGIONAL-ARABIAN-IRAQI-PENNINSULA-MENU-TABLE OFFERED AT THE"BAIT AL-BAG3DAAADI" REST. & OTHER VENUES& ;??!!OUT & ABOUT ALONG THE GOURMET TRAIL INCL.THE DESRT PUDDING "DATE-DESERT" KLAIEEEETCHAA" & H7AALLAWAT-TAMMUR" AN OILY RATHER HEAVY DELICIOUS DATE PUDDING MY FRIEND RECALLS ????!!ARE THERE LOADS OF RESTS.

Welcome back Sis.
We missed you and missed your wonderful blog.
What you had before was great. We are looking forward to the 'new' Neurotica blog.
Don't let anyone get you down Sis. You are swimming against the current, but still moving ahead.
Keep up the good work.
Welcome back again.
