Reflection on Google Practical project

This project is a part of the MIS course, its basically about creating a website that includes 10 topics of Google project which included Google tools and their uses. I learned so much from Google project and then to have these learnings forever I think its a good idea to do this practical project since its shows how much we learned from Google tools and it lets us experience it more often also it shows that we were aware of these tools when we attended lessons demonstrated by fellow students. 

Digital Music

I read this article and I wrote my review on it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8330633.stm

I am a music lover since a young age. Before 10 I didn’t have the internet to search for music downloads or listen to them online, so whenever I went to music shops I tend to buy a lot of CDs and cassettes randomly , when I listened to them I ended up liking two from all of what I bought and wasted my money on the rest. In recent years I began to download songs and search for artists  on the internet , and I found it useful way to save money and to know who’s your favorite artists, and  of course I always buy the CDs of the singers and bands that I loved their songs to support them.

Diet

Nowadays the problem of obesity and overweight has increased dramatically. Because of the pressure and stress of life people tend to  overeat and relay on junk food since they don’t have time to cook healthy food and of course other diseases follows that like diabetes as well as rising the risk of having heart attack and cancer . Losing weight isn’t a hard thing nor is it easy, it’s only about whether you have the determination and well-power on losing weight. First thing start with your food, try to balance your daily nutrition’s intake by eating good fibers like vegetables and whole grain breads and rice because it will make you feel filled up for a long period of time, eat lean meat since it’s better on the digestion system, drink a lot of water so you don’t mistake the thirst as hunger, get your sugar from fruits and the most important thing is to make a schedule for  your meals, so you should eat three main meals times and two or three  light snacks times.  

Accounting project

We had an Accounting project, an individual one. Although I didn't understand the case study I tried my best to solve it, but I really wonder why m I so bad at accounting? thank god I didn't join the accounting major, If I did I'll probably fail!!! but anyhow I managed to do it, but still I think its not going to be good. I also think that the case study itself is wrong, I don't know why the accounting teacher can't write a case study based on his way of teaching us, I mean the case is written on the book and we never read the book so thats why it seems difficult.

Dubai Silicon Oasis visit

On the 24th of November 2009, my group and I went to Dubai Silicon Oasis and interviewed the senior manager of the finance department, we learned a lot about the real finance work.

Cakes!

I love cakes so much! especially chocolate and mocha and strawberry!!

here is a recipe for strawberry cake that I use at home:

ingredients:

Dough:

2 cups of all purpose flour

1 cup of melted butter

1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar (to give a caramalized taste!)

1 teaspoon of baking powder

6 eggs

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 teaspoon of lemon zest

freshly chopped strawberries

Toppings:

1 tablespoon of custard powder

2 cups of fresh low-fat milk

2 tablespoon of sugar (you can adjust the amount)

Directions

1- first mix all dry ingredients together in a bowl.

2- in another bowl mix the 6 eggs and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and lemon zest to remove the smell of eggs.

3-mix the melted butter with the eggs and add the liquid ingredient to the dry one and mix together, until the dough is gooey!

4- pour into the pan and preheat oven to 250 F leave for 15 or 20 min, then let the cake out and keep it out to cool off.

5- the topping, in a suate pan pour the milk and add the custard powder and mix well before putting it on the stove, add sugar and one teaspoon of vanilla extract, put it in a medium heat and stir clock-wise direction and keep stirring until its thick then turn off the heat let it cool for a while.

Decorating the cake:

cut the cake in the middle and start spreading the custard, and add strawberry pieces inside, then cover the cake with the other half, pour all the custard on top then decorate the top of the cake the way you like.

Shopping online!

I love shopping online these days, I finally got myself a visa card!! I mostly shop from amazon for books I usually buy from sellers on amazon not from amazon store, because they sell the product cheaper and the shipping is faster too!! for example this is one of the books that I purchased!

I also like shopping at Japanese websites, such as Yahoo auction japan, I use the services of an agent in Japan they buy the product for me and then ship them to me of course the services is costy but I don't mind ~
