After a Long Day of Work
Dears
Thank you very much for all your comments and understanding of our culture and admiring it, I would like also congratulate you all for all your life, since all of you have unique way of living.
In this blog I would like to talk about my job, my daily life and how I perform from 08:00am to 04:00pm
Every morning after getting dressed and having breakfast I get into my car and drive my brother who ages 10 years to his school then direct to work through Hebron city streets that are crowded with traffic in the morning hours since everybody is heading to his job.
My way to work through Hebron city streets
This is Friends of Fawzi Kawash IT Center of Excellence,in which I work as public relations and marketing manager, it is one of non academic centers in Palestine Polytechnic University, and aims to develop the information technology sector in Palestine specially in the south area.
Today I were out of my office as I had a meeting with my colleagues in Palestine Polytechnic University (PPU) to work on the publicity of the 3rd Palestinian International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (PICCIT 2010) that is focusing on research, innovation and entrepreneurship, and which will be held by PPU on March 9, 2010.
In this photo I am sitting between Wisam( left) and Ruba (right) members of the conference public relations committee. Wisam is the chairman of the committee, while I and Ruba are responsible of media coverage and other PR issues. so we meet to discuss ideas and to follow up the works of the committee during the committee’s weekly meeting.
I am mentioning the conference to focus on the non political aspects of Palestine, since International media usually focuses on political aspects of Palestine such as the occupation, the movements and the settlement…. , and ignores the events and initiatives that take place in other aspects such as technology, education and commerce, so I wish that the International media can draw attention to these events and convey to the world the technological level that Palestine has reached despite the occupation policies and practices.
After that meeting I had another meeting with Razan who works with me on writing a proposal for fundraising purposes
.
Finally, after a long day of work, my mother and sister surprised me with a meal of grilled chicken cooked using our firewood heater.
And in this photo my father and my brother in law are ready to eat the grilled chicken with me.
It was really a happy day, and keep waiting for more...

Hi Dear Eman, Your day is very interesting, in some points your culture is similar to mine!
Salam/ Hi Eman, I'm very pleased to see your post from Pelistine. What a fantastic daily schedule. I love Arabian foods. Please keep write always like this. Thanks
Hello Eman, Your work life seems very interesting and along with that thanks for sharing the photos. The grilled chicken made me feel hungry and the way it is made is very traditional. Here I can see that the grill is multi purpose you can grill and make tea simultaneously. Have a great day, Naheed
Well, I liked that, so I decided to write a comment. While writing the comment, Eman called me and I told here I was writing a cooment that she will read, and here we are. This is the comments, keep up the good work, and good luck. end of comment Wisam
Hi Eman, Nice to see your second message. It is as good as your previous message. I enjoyed reading about you. You are right, the media usually concentrate on politics and all the trouble that is happening there but from your message I am realizing that you are just living a normal life. The reason for media concentrating on politics etc, could be to draw attention to issues which could be improved. So people in Palastine may have even a better life in the future. I would also like to make a comment on your english. Your message is very well written and it is flowing really well. I wish my english was as good as yours. Even though I am living in in English speaking country, my english is not as good as I would have liked it. I am hoping that writing here will help me improve my english. Finally, the pictures look fantastic especially the food look lovely. I felt like coming and sharing it with you. That's all from me today. Looking forward to your next message. Wishing you a peaceful and successful life.
Hello, Emam. Your food looked delicious. I wonder if the chicken will be grilled just because of the heat from below. How long before you put the chicken into the oven has the fire been burning? - Well, I see that you've got so many comments, so I think you can't read and still less answer every comment. Thanks again for sharing your life.
Hi Eman! Your workdays seem very hectic. Thanks for the pics. That chicken seems very tasty. Bye for now!!

Hello Eman, your blog is so interesting. My english is not good enough so i can't express many things that i wish. I like your life style, and thank you for show us other images of your country.
Hello Eman, I found your blog so interesting I read it twice; not to mention that lovely chicken.As you said in your blog, Palestine is often mentioned by the media for political reason,forgetting that the people living there have expectation and hope for the future.The description of your job and family's life has given a great sense of normality. Hope to hear from you soon.:)

Hi Eman:) it's very nice to meet you.I really enjoy reading your blog.I would like to visit Palestine one day.I look forward to hearing some more..Love..milena
Dear Eman, It's so interesting the way you go back and forth between what seem to be two different worlds along your day. At work you deal with modern world with technological stuff, computers and academical life. Back home you deal with food cooked using a firewood heater. It's really very interesting. And I guess it must be good for you because you can get the best of the two worlds. The chicken dish prepared by your mom seems delicious in the picture. Besides, food cooked in a firewood heater tastes better. There's one in my home too. Thank you for your nice posting. See you around!!!!
Hi Eman, I like your simple way to describe your interesting everyday life. It seems that you enjoy your job very much and this is an important thing and not always happens this way. Thank you for sharing your pics with us. Best wishes. Cris
