GIRLY THINGS
Last night i was thinking how hard is been a girl, i am not complicated at all but if i go out i want to be perfect and girls you know that is not for free (maybe if u are Heidy Klum or Valeria Maza), i am not agains the natural beauty but a night out is a different thing.

Let´s say i have to go to a wedding ... the nightmare starts like this :

1.- First of all pick the right outfit, the dress needs to be "perfect", right desing and colour, it don´t have to make me look fat, small or pale (and i am not fat, small or pale but the wrong dress can do miracles). Time : 5/6 hours

2.- Next step is check if i have the right shoes to match with my perfect dress, if i do, great; but if i don´t means hours and hours of more walking. Time : 5/6 hours

3.- With a perfect dress and a perfect shoes ... i need the perfect accesories, the best dress can be ruined with the wrong accesories. Time : 1/2 hours

4.- After this i think is time to go to the spa, at least 2 weeks before if i need, so i can have a haircut and highlight (i hate the smell of hair chemical products in a party). Time : 2/3 hours

5.- One or two days before the party ... spa again, this time for wax and manicure and pedicure (this is every week, not only for the party). Time : 2 hours

6.- The day of the party i have to take a nap early, i am a 30 years old girl and i need charge batteries before go out ( i hate drink a red bull). Time : 2/3 hours

7.- Get up, take a shower and start with the hair, i can do it by myself so i don´t need the spa again ....Time : 1 hour

8.- Makeup ... Time : 30/40 minutes

9.- Get dress ... Time : 10 minutes

10.- Accesories, last makeup review, perfume ... Time 10 minutes

11.- BIG PARTY : 4/5 hours

In conclusion i have to spend more than 20 hours preparing myself to go out, get drunk and come back home in 4/5 hours ...

It´s official !!! I am getting old if i complain about this, numbers 4,5,6 and 11 i really enjoy but the others are a big headache for me, lucky guys same haircut, same face and sometimes same suit with different tie.

NIGHT OUT
As part of my vacations i decided accept an invitation to go out tonight with old friends who used to work with my 10 years ago.

The date was set at 8:30 p.m but here nobody is "on time" so i went at 9:30 and guess what ?? I was the first one there !!!, Anyway, we had a great dinner and chit chat, after that everybody was with that mood to go party and get drunk, and in that moment is when i felt like something it was different about me.

I did not have the party mood ... Am I getting old ? Been in love is changing me ? Why i don´t want to do things that i loved before ? Is living in Doha affecting me ?

I fight with my feellings and i went to this Karaoke Bar, just to had 2 drinks and try to excuse my odd behaviour ...

Mmm ...

- I am 30 years old, maybe my body is not strong as before (i don´t believe this one, i still can wait the sun with a bottle of wine)
- I am inlove and i am missing my man, so i don´t want go out without him because i feel guilty (yeah right, i don´t believe this one either, i used to have fun with my friends before)
- I am not going out a lot in Doha, Rydges and Garveys are not the best places to be (they are almost the better there), maybe i think every place will be like those and that is why i don´t want to go out again.

After 1 hour thinking finally i found the best reason, places here are not like Rydges and Garveys, here are worst, plenty of teenagers (16 - 24 years old), some of them trying to make a move with an older girl and maybe have some free drink, i don´t flirt anymore, no way i am in love and i am 30 years old i don´t want this anymore, i prefer stay in home with my man and watch a good movie, go out with him or with friends, get some drinks and have a good conversation.

I am going out tomorrow night again with my best girl friends from high school, that will be really nice, we always have a great time together and i hope the kindergarden won´t be around us ...

BACK HOME
I get home from Doha 2 weeks ago ... i thought it will be nice come back and see all the things that i was missing, now i can´t avoid compare everything with Doha, anyway some things never change and this is a list of 3 things that i love and 3 that i hate in my little town.

LOVEEEEEEE
1.- The weather ... september is so beautiful, is still sunny in the morning just in case if I want go to the beach (but no, I don´t want go I am a capuchino skin girl after 3 months in Doha), 25 degrees at nightime, perfect time.

2.- The food !!! I can eat the dirty meet (as BF sayd) everyday and is so cheap, rice, beans and po** chops just for US$1,00 (i did not try that place i went to the US$2.50 one, which is still cheap and soooooooo good).

3.- The taxi, lots of them, 5 or 6 in my corner everyday waiting for someone to pay only US$1,00 to go somewhere, and yes !!! only US$1,00 (the minimun rate for 10 minutes driving).

HATEEEEEEEE
1.- The politicians, we are in elections time, electing new President in October, the number 10 in the last 5 years, is so frustrating see all the candidates, one worst of the other ... i don´t even know half of the 17 candidates, crazy to see how they make fun of the people´s hope. Arghhhh i am already mad again.

2.- Driving, if we think drive in Qatar is crazy because the traffic, i invited you all to come and drive here, no traffic at all but every road has a big holds (like a volcano´s mouth), so you need 6 eyes and driver skills to don´t kill yourself, i always prefer take a taxi ....

3.- MACHO MACHO attitude, yeah i know ... coming from a latin country i used to deal with this since a was born, but nope i don´t, all woman deserve been treat with respect (maybe same as Doha, lol), here is so hard when the average is 10 woman for 1 man ... and what is the normal excuse :

- It was her fould, she kissed me !!!
- She is not my girlfriend, we just have a son/daughter together
- It was not me, it was my cousin (same face, same body and same car ... RIGHT !!)

And the macho macho comments :

- You have to stay in home, i will go out with the guys (and the girls)
- Why you get drunk, you are a lady !!
- Don´t go out with that top, i can see you boobs, change it or we stay in home !!

I can writte about the macho comments forever, but maybe that will be subject for another post.

From my latin country,
