4.6.10

Phet Panic Alert:

We just bought so much water, that we could start a water processing treatment plant. So much boxes, we could give a poor country and still remain with enough for another 8 weeks. At the Supermarket, the staff there thought we were insane. What the hell is going on! People are buying water for what reason again? Buy candles and buy food. Don't buy all the water, like your about to make a dam in your house! As in WTF....
Throughout the day, people are moving up and about like disaster is actually on the way, and by the looks of the forecast and the live images online, are just scaring people the **** out their senses.I took this picture this evening right outside a local supermarket. They are just taking heavy precautions to ensure that their business is well off no matter what!

You know that song, either by Black Eyed Peas or David Guetta - I Gotta Feeling, well i have a feeling that tonight's going to be a good night!
Throughout the day, the weather forecast had its own story, and the actual weather was telling another story. Oman people are simple calm down to earth people who like everything the easy way! Now take these people and put them in a natural disaster, and i swear they panic like someone told them we are headed for judgment day! I was at work and it didn't even start raining, and granny was already calling me and telling me to get back home!
You have to take an example, see when the Tsunami Cyclone/Disaster happened, the waves alone dismantled half the islands along the south pacific, yet they did not have a critical breakdown. And when it comes to Arabs getting wet, the drama begins again. 80% of the houses in Muscat are not insured, they are partially owned, fuck it, everything in Oman is on loan or some other kind of slow financial payback system, and our developing infrastructure was absolutely garbage, until the the first Cyclone bump and shook the city 3 years back, leaving the whole place fucked up!
  I took the pictures outside the house on Thursday evening at the time of Panic Alert level 2:


During this storm, i came to realize alot of things, one being the most important thing, was that Oman TV has the worst live broadcast of News in the history of television period. As in the newscaster actually had a real telephone on the desk, and it rang during the 9pm News broadcast, are they serious? All newscasters wear a small earpiece that allows them to get updated with fresh news from time to time during a broadcast, well this caster won, yes the very same one with the phone, as she was getting was headlining the news, i think she was getting info regarding the cyclone, and she totally stopped announcing the news and started nodding her head! ***** your on live TV, not in the make up room!!!! And they said in 2010, they plan to have all Oman Channels in HD (High Definition), HAHAHAHA, I think they should stick on whatever they have now, call it LD (Low Definition). And someone please tell them to change their website, it looks like a drunk HTML designer did it in a bar with an actual paper and pen, or should i say Notepad!!!
** I could not even find a proper logo of theirs on Google. (OUCHH)
