Fight it out, or understand it better!

Been having a conflict with someone lately? Here's a psychological explanation as to why. 

Basically what this means is that everyone has a set of beliefs. A belief is a set, strong perspective on something. These beliefs help us understand the world and our surrounding better. As human beings we all need these set of beliefs to feel more at ease. For example, imagine not having a belief about something, for example, let's say you didn't have the belief that schools were safe for children. What feelings does that provoke in you? Take a moment to think about this.

Currently, majority of us hold the belief that schools provide a safe, nurturing environment for our children to read, write and learn new things. If you didn't believe that schools are safe, you'd probably be a very anxious parent not wanting to send your child to school.

When we don't have a set belief about something, it means we are uncertain about that particular thing. This uncertainty leads to unpredictability which in turn causes anxiety.

Now when you are arguing with someone, or are in a conflict with someone, its solely because your beliefs don't match. Therefore, both of you are trying hard to hold on to your beliefs because psychologically your minds are trying to protect you from that feeling of uncertainty and anxiety.

Therefore, next time your in an argument, end it with the conclusion that both of you are entitled to have your beliefs and if you cant convince one another, its better to just drop the subject.

Hope that helps! Happy Arguing!

Red Lobster Restaurant Review! :D

So here's my quick review on Red Lobster Qatar.

Food:
Since it specializes in sea food, the sea food items at Red Lobster were very fresh and light. However, I ordered a pasta, and found it to be on the bland side, for me, I would've liked a little more salt and pepper in there, basically more flavor; So the pasta wasn't very impressive.

I would rate the food, on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest) an 8.

Ambiance:
I liked the atmosphere and the feel of the restaurant, it was nice and casual. It wasn't very uptight or posh, not to mention the alive lobsters who greet you at the entrance. However, it wasn't your regular TGI Fridays either. Although, I would've preferred more comfortable seating, I'm not a fan of booths and bench seating.

I would rate the Ambiance a 7, only because of the immense hype that Red Lobster's opening caused, I was expecting a little more extravaganza.

Staff:
The staff members were extremely friendly and co-operative, they were smiling and welcoming.

I would rate the staff an 8.

Price:
Now for some reason, there was this hype around Doha that the Red Lobster is slightly on the pricey side. To my surprise  it wasn't at all. The food was economically priced, I mean for a dinning experience like that, and for an international restaurant, i felt that the prices were just right. I paid around 50 riyals for one meal.

I would rate the prices an 8 as well.

Overall feel:
Overall, I liked the dining experience at Red Lobster. However, due to all the hype that was created about it, I had very high expectations which it didn't fully meet hence, overall I'd rate Red Lobster a 7.5.

Happy Dining! :)

Dating in Qatar! Coming soon!

My take on Dating in Qatar! Coming soon!

Sales in DOHA! Ridiculous!!

So its that time of the year, when celebrations are on the go! Its starts with Eid, followed by Christmas & Christmas holidays, backed up by New years, and as soon as the month of Muharram finish's weddings kick off! in the midst of all these celebrations comes... (I'd like to imagine a drum roll here)... SALES! WOO HOO!

There's nothing more exciting for me, and most girls, boys, men, women out there to find something below half its original price! How exciting is that? Its like you go on a crazy shopping spree, come home feeling satisfied because you know the moneys been well spent! As opposed to, you going on a shopping spree, coming home tired and grumpy, and realizing you've gone over budget? uh-oh!

Like, the point is, who DOESN'T like sales? There's something about spending the same amount of money but getting more goodies in that same amount which makes you feel like you've achieved something! *mental image of a man sticking a flag on the top of the mountain* LOL!

Now this brings me to the sale at Max! Its no wonder people are sprawling in and out of that shop like things are being sold for free! It wasn't until my mum and I saw the price tags on some of the items that we were, how do i say this nicely? Absolutely shocked, horrified, and astounded! LOL, items for 5 riyals?? I mean, FIVE? wait hold on, how do I emphasize this, its like, buying a vegetable, no in fact its like buying a packet of crisps!

The sale at Max is absolutely ridiculous! If you haven't been to it, I suggest you get there ASAP! The things you get there are usually up-to-date and trendy, the quality isn't that bad either, and when its being sold for the prices of lemons and crisps, i mean, why wouldn't  you want to?

However, I must warn you, the lines at the cashier are long as hell, and the shops are pretty much crowded day to night, and you may have to make an extra effort on finding the right sizes, BUT, when things are this cheap, a little labor would go a long way!

Happy shopping! :)

ps: Max stores are at City Centre Doha, and next to Family Food Center  at Al Rayyan.

OH! and personally I prefer the Al Rayyan store, just feels like they have a lot more variety, since its a lot bigger in size, don't know for a fact though. 

Hot and Cold, Qatar.

Winter blues? Not where the sun shines brighter!

So I've just come for a little vay-cay to Qatar, and to my surprise while majority of the world is either half frozen, or fully frozen, Qatar is relatively pleasant.

In fact, the weather here is SO pleasant that i don't even feel the need to wear a cardigan, and I'm mostly slightly hot in and around the house. However, the funny thing is, that the Qatari citizens have acclimatized to this weather so much so, that they cant stop obsessing over how cold it is here? LOL! It's quite hilarious to see them obsess over the "coldness" of the weather.

Want to enjoy good warm weather during the winter months? without having to travel down under? Qatar could just be that one place! 

progress. YES!

awritey then! i think I've got IT! WOHOO!

 

Still figuring it out

Hello there my lovelies!! Lets get started shall we?
