I’m in my twenty somethings. I’m a daughter, a sister, a lover, an optimist, a believer, a fighter….I’m everything put into one. I am happy with who I am, and I appreciate the diversity life throws at me.

Where am I from? A little bit of everywhere. I was raised amongst people of differenet races, cultures and religions. I resided in my “home country” for a year, when I was five, and I now live in the Gulf country I was born in. Made sense? Probably not. Let me simplify, I’m a legal alien in a Gulf country that I was born and raised in. I barely remember the year I spent back “home”, but hey, a year is better than nothing.

My name, Jayda, is derived from the Arabic ‘jawda’ which means ‘excellence and quality’, it’s also Spanish for the green gem ‘jade’. I know, pretty cool name.

I’m a human and as all humans, I have flaws and over the years I’ve learnt to accept them. I am a student of life and I learn a new thing everyday; I’ve learnt that somethings are harder to attain but when in your hands, the experience is one that lives in you forever and shapes your true calibre.

I love reading and listening to music, they are some of the few things dear to my heart. I am quite sure that my passion for both will speak for themselves throughout this blog.

    gr8 u know the meaning of your name, i spent the early years of my life wondering what does my name mean :) , after i started reading by the age of 7 or 8 , sure mesh faker ya3ny :D , i searched in my fathers’ books, till i found it :D … when i read your “About” i saw a lot of things in common :) , i was born in my homeland, 7 months later, we traveled to the US spent there about 5 years, then wen to the gulf for another 3 years or something, the back to homeland :D … i love my homeland but i can’t stay in it anymore. Even i have a really good job with a really good salary, but there is part of me that want to fly away, rediscover the world :) .. may be it sounds soooooo childish,that is y i decided to not say it until i’m no child anymore :) … music and reading and religion are the most important things in my life :) , some of my friends call me crazy, others told me that i have lived 3 lives, 1 for reading, 2 for listening music, 3 is mine, but i say i think i’ve lived more than just 3 :) … during the past 4 years of my life there was another life dedicated to someone else, i hoped to continue this dedication, but at the end it is MAKTUB :)
    dunno why i’m saying this to you, online, and i don’t even know you, but your words were close to me :)
    hope u reach what you want :) , and KEEP READING, and listening to GOOD MUSIC “recommendations: souad massi, mozart l’egyptien, instrumental sufi music… mmm” if i remembered anything else will let u know

    Feel free to write anything or tell me whatever you like! I think we find refuge in telling strangers things that we can’t tell people we know, so like I said, feel free to unleash your thoughts on me.

    Adam is a really nice name, the name of the first human created – how special do you feel? ;)

    Thanks Fadfadation, I’m flattered!

    mmm, Adam…. may be it is not about how special do i feel, actually it is more about how weird do i feel :) , how did he feel as the HE WAS THE FIRST MAN ON EARTH, Yalahwyyyy akeeed kan fe 7eraaaa we 27sas bel 2ste3′raab men kol 7agah….
    was he a stranger?, was he trying to just find a home and shelter?? i’m all this everyday :) “even el 7amd lelah i’m not homeless :D ”. The more time i spend on this earth the more i’m sure i need more practice … who knows, would these feelings ever end, or just this is me :D
    BTW my name is not adam, my feelings are… :) MY NAME IS MUCH MORE UNIQUE :P
    THANKS A LOT FOR READING my comment.

    I agree with Fadfadation. Great intro. I’m Gulf raised not born too :)

  7. 7 Jayda February 28, 2007 at 7:32 pm

    Your name isn’t Adam? I’ll take your word that your name’s unique :)

    Juka, you and Fadfadation are spoiling me. My ego is the size of a watermelon now! Gulf raised you say? Howdy neighbor!
