Everything I Wished For

I got a call from Ibda'a on Thursday, around 3:20 in the afternoon, where they let me know I was one out of three students who was nominated for an award, in the journalism category.
I was beyond thrilled, had no words and did an awkward jump where I let the entire room (which I was in) know that my dreams had come true!
www.ibdaa-awards.ae
It's exciting and more than that it's an honor just to be nominated, let alone win.
I'm going to try and update you on each day I spend getting closer to the award cermony, whilst interacting with my fellow nominees.
:)
And to all of those who prayed for me, love you and thank you!

The Life She Used To Know

ello,
My name is Desiree Jennings and I am twenty-five years old. I work full-time as a Marketing Communications Manager for a major Internet company. I am currently working to finish my bachelor’s degree in Finance and Economics this fall and hope to continue on to a Masters in Economics in 2010.
In my spare time, I enjoy running and training for races from 5Ks to marathons. I also lead a local run club, training beginning runners for 5K and 10K races. I am training for the National Marathon in DC in March and recently became a member of the Washington Redskins Cheerleader Ambassador team.
That was the life that I used to know.
On August 23, 2009, I received a seasonal flu vaccine at a local grocery store that drastically, and potentially irreversibly, altered my future. In a matter of a few short weeks I lost the ability to walk, talk normally, and focus on more than one stimuli at a time. Whenever I eat I know, without fail, that my body will soon go into uncontrollable convulsions coupled with periods of blacking out.
Each day is a battle to control the symptoms triggered by the flu vaccine and a reminder that my life will never be the same. I set up this site to tell my story and warn people of the neurological side effects than can result from vaccinations; especially knowing that in the majority of cases, these stories are seldom heard outside of immediate families and friends.
I hope everyone that reads my story will heed my warning and think very carefully, including watching my story, reading the information about vaccine side effects on this website, reading the vaccine package insert, considering the natural remedies for flu and H1N1 on this site, and seeking out consultations with the doctors found on this website, before making the decision to receive a vaccination.
Sincerely,
Desiree Jennings

Halloween is a sort of tradition at Universities in Dubai, and if you don't have a costume because you've been too busy doing something else/it was too expensive/you plain forgot ... then fret NOT because, it's simple to qualify as the person who came dressed as 'something'.
The following are the steps for how to be accepted in Uni during Halloween:
1) Wear Black
2) Mess up hair
3) Wear red lipstick( for girls), wear black lipstick (boys)[You'll can interchange as well]
4) Wear raccoon make up (for boys and girls... boys more)
5) Paint face white (if you want to be a tad bit different)
6) Add 'horns' accessory (for girls) and lots of hand accessories (for boys)
6) Pose with 'rock fingers' (Okay, I USED TO do this a lot, so just this bit is a little embarrassing) and make angry face
And you are done! 100%'Halloween' Friendly and ready to go!
Oh, you can say you are dressed as an Emo goth, who had sex with a vampire and/or devil!
Happy Halloween You All =)
