Reflection on Google Web 2.0 Tools
During this semester, we have studied Management Information System course. The first project that we have to do was training students about certain subject from Google Web 2.0 tools. My training subject was about blog. Each student has to train the classmates on specified subject such as Google chrome, Google Docs, etc. Moreover, we also had another project were we have to use the blog in order to post in our personal diaries, videos or articles. The second part of this project was to use the Google Site in order to reflect on to what we acquired from the training session. Thus, I used Google Site in which I created more than 10 pages for Google tools. In each page, I attached screenshot where I explained how I am implementing the specified tool. In this post, I will demonstrate my reflection on Google Web 2.0. I arranged and ranked them from my best favorite tool to my least favorite.
After attending the training session, I was amazed that there is a tool that will help me to communicate with my friend in an easy way when dealing with files and projects. I frequently use Google Docs to import files related to my college projects and share them my group members. Google Docs have saved my time a lot as it is an effective tool to use for group projects.
I realized that Google Calendar is a useful tool to track my events. I use it to organize my events related to college base projects and my personal life. I also installed it in my cell phone. It is very easy to use.
In my point of view, Google searching is essential tool in my life. I use it for majorly for college and personal staff. I enjoy searching for cooking books and videos. Attending the training session enabled me to use Google search in more efficient way. For example, I learned how to search for certain domains. I also learned how to search for specified type of files such as PPT or Doc.
I deal a lot with emails in college and in my personal life. I enjoyed the features of Gmail such as labeling and filtering messages. After creating my Gmail account, I have switched from Hotmail to Gmail. I am also planning to use my Gmail account as an official email for my resume and other staff.
I used Google earth to view locations and building. It is an easy tool to use where you write the name of the place in the search bar and after seconds it will appear for you. Unfortunately, I do not enjoy using staff such as searching for location and maps even in my car; I have never used the navigation. However, what I liked about Google earth is viewing building or location in 3D.
I enjoyed using delicious as it facilitated me to store links in stacks and share it with my group members. This tool was very useful for me as I used it to share links about the industry project with my colleagues.
It is an easy tool where it enabled me to create a site. In reality, I do not enjoy creating a site since it takes a lot of time.
In my life, I have never enjoyed use social website sine I always thought that using social website is something complicated. After using twitter, I felt that it is very simple device to use and I really enjoyed using it. I also liked the way were we are able to retweet and share information with our friends. Moreover, I followed UAE News in order to track the news about UAE.
Although I use it to increase awareness about a specified topic for my project, However, I believe that twitter is much more enjoyable.
Although Google reader is beneficial tool; however, I do not enjoy using it.

My friend’s Baby Girl
On Thursday 17 May 2012, my classmates and I were waiting for my friend’s delivery, so at 11:00 Am one of my classmates sent for me a message to inform me that Rabab has delivered her baby girl. I was very happy and immediately I called my mom tell her the news.
On that day, we finished college early, so I went with my mother to Mercato in order to buy a gift for Rabab's baby girl. I was planning to buy for the baby girl jewelry, thus I went to Liala Jewelry shop in Mercato. I found several nice gold necklaces and bracelets for small babies. I was confused what to buy for her so I chose one of the necklaces. Afterwards, my mother and I went to the Patchi store to buy a box of chocolate. After completing the gift, I went back home. In the evening, I went with my mother and sister to visit Rabab in the hospital.

My Hobbies
A hobby is a consistent activity or interest that is undertaken for pleasure, normally done during one's leisure time. Engaging in a hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge and experience.
In my life I built my hobbies by practicing them. One of my hobbies is reading books especially stories. In English, I like reading romantic and fiction stories. On the other hand, I adore reading historic stories in Arabic. I also enjoy scanning cooking books in both languages Arabic and English.
To gratify myself and the people around me, I like to bake homemade meals and sweets. In my free time, I enjoy staying in the kitchen and baking delicious dishes. My favorite thing that I adore doing is making sweets such as chocolate cake and cheese cake. For the lunch, I like to prepare a mouthwatering salad with my own Italian sauce. I also enjoy learning new and different cooking meals. For instance, sometimes I surf through the internet for new cooking dishes.
Moreover, one of my favorite hobbies is travelling overseas. I like to travel to new places and acquire new knowledge about the countries. When I visit new country, I appreciate learning about the ritual and customs of the people living in that country. I adore staying in places where the weather is raining and cold. My dream is to travel to a place where I stay in a farm instead of a hotel so that I can enjoy the farm living.

One of the things that I really enjoys in my life is watching animals shows. Due to this fact, one of the fantastic shows in Australia that I adored was the Dolphins show. I was really amazed about the dolphins' reaction with the trainers. I also went to the penguins show where the trainers were responsible of feeding the small penguins. In addition, the park also included some interesting games and entertainments.
