Looking forward to the future

Hey people,

I am so sorry for the absence but I have been trying to rebuild my life. I am doing OK and I have news for you. Firstly, I am not going back to Iraq this year, maybe the next, however, I am not sure.
Secondly, I have applied to both Ajman University of Science & Technology and The American University Of Sharjah, The Department of Architectural Engineering, and was accepted in both thanks to the 95% I got in my final year at school.
My picture was published in the newspaper for being one of the top students in my school AND My graduating party was amazing, I don't think I have ever felt that proud.

Finally, I am going to Jordan on 9/7/2009 for two weeks to spend part of the summer there.

I love you all and THANKS for supporting me.

Yours,
Raghda

Roses for you

Hello my dear friends,

I am happy to read your comments and even happier that you still check my blog even though I stopped blogging a long time ago.
I wanted to tell you that I have achieved many goals during these last three years and I shall keep doing that in sha allah. I wrote a small article in a book called '' Iraq Then & Now '' by karen Dabrowska & Geoff Hann. I read a lot of books that helped me to improve my English language, one of those books was ''The Secret'' which I liked a lot.
I have another important thing to say, I might go back to Iraq soon. I don't know if it will be safe and happy but I do know that I'll go back a different person and I will hold on to my hope and pray for the safety of my family. You probably want to know why we decided to go back to Iraq again, well to say the truth, things aren't working well here with my dad's job and with this late economic depression we decided that its time to go back. I know it is selfish of me to say that I liked living in the UAE but can you blame someone to feel happy of living in peace like a normal person?? anyway I just wanted to say hi and sorry for not letting you know how i was doing.

My wishes to you all.

Raghda

Words From Raghda

Hello dear friends,

I am OK and still reading this blog. I am going to the university next year :) I just got my IELTS score yesterday and it was very good, I am so happy. And I am so sorry for stop blogging, maybe one day I'll be back again. This blog was and still the best thing I have ever done in my life. Don't forget me. I love you all.

My memories are fading away...

"I wish there is some thing I can do". This sentence I have been repeating a lot these days. Every time I ask about the situation in Iraq I become angry and sad because there is nothing I can do. I wish some one can tell me what can I do to save what is left in Iraq.

I have left my house, my room and my cats that I know nothing about any more. When we left we didn't take every thing in the house with us because it is impossible, that house and every thing in it is a treasure, It was built 35 years ago, and now It is going to be looted just because it is empty and there is no one to protect it.

Some members of what is known as national guards are checking every house in Hay Al-Jamia, where my house is, these days. Do you know what will they do if they find an empty one?? They close the roads leading to it, bring a lorry and loot every thing in that house. That is what about to happen to my house and it's 35 years of memories.

This is the army that the American government and the Iraqi government are helping to build, they brought every criminal, thief, and looser gave him a gun and send him to the streets, the new army together with the armed militias with the help of Iran, are destroying the country.

If the people who suppose to protect the country, are the ones who are destroying it. What future does Iraq still have???

Happy Birthday To Me

I am proud

Hey,

I just got back from Syria three days ago.I spent the most wonderful week among my relatives and family, I felt that I am in Iraq.I saw many nice places and had so much fun with Najma and HNK.I cried a little when I said good bye but I am fine now, at least I had the chance to see them.

I watched all the Iraqi football games and felt so proud when we won Asia Cup.I saw the Iraqis celebrate in Syria and Dubai, I never thought that I'll see them happy again.The Iraqi football brought us back to life.I want to say congratulations to our champions, and I wish you, our brave Iraqi football team, the best luck.

Happy and sad

Hey,

I am going to Syria the day after tomorrow to see my family, I might stay there for a week or two. I am happy and sad, happy because I am going to see people that I haven't seen for a year, and sad because I feel like I don't have a home any more.Iraqis can't go any where, it is like they don't want us in this world any more...

Raghda

I just want to carry them...

Hi

I am Back

Hi my dear friends,

It has been along time since I wrote any thing in this blog, I apologize for that, these last few months were too hard for me.My grandfather's death, (may his soul rest in peace), school and final exams.I thought many times in saying good bye and close this blog but I couldn't, I love this blog and I love u.
I did great in my exams by the way, I got 98,3%.It was hard to study in these circumstances but thank God I was able to do it.
What else can I say, hmmm, Iraq...
There is no Iraq any more, it is gone just like my life there is gone, but who knows may be it will back again one day, I look forward to that.

I am tired of getting sad, so let us stop here.

New cats coming on the way. See you then my friends.

Prayers for my dear grandpa. I hope he’ll be ok wherever he is.

Raghda.

No comment

Friendship

I think they are going to jump at some thing, I wonder what it is??

I love those cute white kittens

What an Eid!!

Today is the first day of Eid, the day which used to be the happiest to me for years till the war started and there were almost no Eids any more, but this Eid was the saddest, I waked up at 9 am and was shocked when I knew that Saddam Hussein has been executed at 6 am on the first day of Eid, what is this? Couldn’t they wait for a few days till the Eid ends, I know that Saddam has done some bad things and I even don’t like him that much but he was the president of Iraq for 35 years, the man who could make life in Iraq possible and he shouldn't be treated like this.

I left Iraq to keep my self form getting hurt but it seems that it is not working because I am still hurting deep in side...

Sorry for the sad post but I had to say some thing about Saddam's execution, but even so I wont forget to say HAPPY EID.


Yours,
Raghda
