::Asad Hamed | h2's Real Talk::

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)

I am full of shit, i agree. But the rest of the city is worse than me. Seen more than i expected, and i feel like talking it out. MCT has implemented the new NO SMOKING SHIT so that public buildings can be smoke free, even coffee @ your local coffee shack sucks to the extreme. I wonder where this person got this idea of putting up such a rule. If you go clubbing, the entire club smells of cold hype fusion oxygen until you realize that sweat is mixing with armpit and with that alone it creates a distinctive CAUTION!!!!! smell....
Muscat Daily and i think other newspapers printed out some weird *** story... It just caught my attention because i am assuming my company must be there!

They blacklisted 50 companies for some illegal sh** they were doing. As in if daddy has to do the illegal sh** to feed his family, let the man do what he can do. Business is business, nothing more, nothing less. I like the thought of Newspapers in Oman publishing whatever they feel like nowadays. Next they will be paparazzi's snapping pictures of famous locals doing wrong shit.
~101hustle~ came up with a new name for female hustlers, call them HUSTLERETTE, damn, i should talk to Oxford to fictionalize that in the dictionary. Get your money @ all means possible. I would love to promote crime, but crime in Oman is extending to some unique factor that even the law can not do anything about it. Yet one thing the law can do well is is stop you on the road and ask for your driver's license and vehicle's registration!

Was with DJ Moodz this past week, and damn, even though he is a dj who threw a well off Traffic Light Remix, i swear i almost mistook him for an electrician. He had his whole truck opened like he knew what the hell he was doing..... Dj making music and events is not close to dismantling a car/truck... A look inside the man's musical life while driving, hehe, Dj do not kill me for this by the way.




I need coffee, and Lil Wayne on lockup but he has songs coming out with Young Money, tell me how do you consider one a criminal when he can record a videos online. I think his cell got some Wi-Fi internet connection out there...... As in his Twitter account is still active? How the ****?


Do you Swag? How well do you Swag? Well Swagger Dead! If you still Swaggin' then you are nothing but an old downgraded skunk piece of Wh*** Sh**.
I still listen to Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg back to back everyday and my iPod plays the latest tracks all the way, not like the local fm stations who still be playing some old joints they had on the Billboard top ten when your parents got married....
I need someone to evaluate every insane garbage that comes out of my forehead as a thought. By the way, someone quit his job just because me and half the city had alot of Credit.
Nowadays everyone wants to be a terrorist, apparently blowing up things will get you famous and a front page headline and a sweet picture, call it being popular by self demand. Last week or so, some dude blew up a car in Times Square, New York, if some of you know where that is on the globe. (East Coast of USA, Please Google it.) and this one did it @ Karachi Airport.
 Chelsea won the Premier League this year, happy Samsung Bustards, Drogba was happy and sh**, anyways we shall meet them next year! Anyways Enjoy your days until the next blog

Friends, family, and all others who know me from far and near. I come forward to you with my face paled and heart broken, in pain, sorrow and totally embarrassed to say that i am 100% a COKE ADDICT. Yes, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Coke is in my body, mind and soul all the time. I sacrifice things for a simple shot of Coke. My family has stood beside but i think they have given up hope and are on the urge of either throwing me out the house or sending me to a rehabilitation.
As i sit with my laptop, writing this blog, i have Coke beside me all the time, i take it to work, got a few packs in the car, and sometimes even the police have stopped me on the road for driving under the influence of this so called drug called Liquid Coke.
It all started way back in Africa, but it was a one time thing, like during the weekends and special occasions, and over the years it has steadily increased to the level that if i do not have Coke, i think i might malfunction or stop in some weird kind of way!
My new boss keeps a pack in her office just incase i stop functioning while at work. I know it's loving and caring for a friend but i think it's getting way out of control.
Just last week i had 30 Cokes throughout the day. I swear to you, it will kill me slowly like the fire in hell.
What i beg of you, my friend, my sister, my brother, my love, help me get away from this addiction. I will die, and if you do not care for me, who will?


Anyways, please as your driving towards my house, stop by the supermarket and get me a pack of Coke. haha, Coke addict....... Asad, and you almost believed it........

Coca Cola, Not Cocaine................

Just the other day, i was asked by one of my associates about the standard basic salary of a national, and i quickly replied him, between 150 - 200 OMR if lucky by the way. Ever wondered how people survive on such a salary and this is not even a part time, it is their actual full time salary. The people who plan these rules and regulations of the standard national basic salary to me is just simply pathetic and stupid. How can you work for 30+ days and receive such a salary for all the effort and hard work you have put in. I mean do all the employers think alike to give such a salary even though the company is a strong business within the walls of the country? How can the boss eat, sleep well, while his/her employers suffer to get paid a lousy salary at the end of a month!

I have seen employers who are willing to give their employees a balanced salary according to their needs, and there those huge companies who pay employees like they have money to throw. I have witnessed it with my own two eyes and i am not shocked to say but its very disturbing in some manner.
Look at it this way, most young Arabs would love to get married young and grow old happy with their family, and how do they do it with such a salary? Loans, i presume. So how can you live with credit all your life. Aren't you liable to enjoy the money you work for at the end of the day?
I once came across a decent person who was working for a undisclosed company, and he was in the transport department, driving the company truck for 28 days a month, and i politely asked him how much he was paid, and he told me 140omrs Monthly, then he broke his silence and told me that he has a wife and the his first born was already on the way! It's kind of a touching and saddening moment when stories like this come across you. If you evaluate the way this young man spends his monthly salary, then you do realize that he actually works for no damn reason at all.

Monthly Salary - 140/-
 basic expense  - 50/-
 transportation  - 30/-
2nd expenses   - 50/-
That's already 130/- spent for small expenses. There is no rent or clothing or for the child. Questions arise yet no answer can be found to such a solution. How did he end up in such a position? He has the right to quit that job and look for another occupation that will pay him better, but he decides to work there for a reason!
Now let's evaluate the company he works for. A well known company that makes more than quarter of a million every month and the number of employees does not exceed 35. Tell me, how much is the owner making on a monthly basis after all expenses are deducted and salaries are paid, with the highest paid employee is being paid 800/-?
If this company was to take 50,000/- to pay their employees, would that be bad, and this simple hardworking driver would get a proper salary and have the benefit of living his life in a proper way without struggling at all.

My final question is "Why be so greedy and watch others suffer?" Your the DAMN employer, give your employees a break and pay them a proper salary. Why should you eat and sleep well, drive fancy cars and dress well, while the ones you employee get the job done for you and get treated like the dirt on your sandal?
There are some employers out there who have the heart to understand their employees problems, but for the ones who can't and are ignorant, well remember that all people started with nothing and build something...

Developed under the codename "F10," the new 5-Series softens the harder lines of the previous E60 with more conventional-looking headlights and a cleaner front-end design. Despite new European pedestrian safety standards that are expected to drastically alter the design of many European cars for the worse, BMW has managed to maintain its classic twin-kidney grille design with the new 5-Series while simultaneously reducing the length of the front overhang. The BMW 5-Series offers high-performance driving capabilities in a sedan that can carry five adults in comfort and luxury.

The latest 5-Series will offer one eight-cylinder and three six-cylinder gas engine options. Two diesel six-cylinder models will also be available in certain Europe, with the most fuel efficient version being the 47 mpg (U.S.) 520d. The 258 horsepower 528i will be the entry-level model in the U.S. The range-topping 550i model comes packing a 407 hp version of BMW's turbocharged V8. As expected, BMW's 306 hp turbocharged inline-six will be available in the 535i model. A 530d model is also available -- featuring a 245 hp diesel engine. Fuel economy figures vary greatly to match the level of horsepower for each distinct trim level, but numbers begin at 28 mpg highway on the 528i, and drop to 22 mpg highway for the 400 hp 550i model. The next-generation 5-Series features an eight-speed automatic transmission with an all-wheel drive optional denoted by an "x" followed the numeric model name. The new 5 will also have Park Distance Control and an around view monitor system, similar to Infiniti's Around View Monitor.

With a population not more than 5 million people including locals and all foreigners, i came to recognize this! Every young self esteemed person would like to have the ultimate package which is owning the coolest car, dressed better than a Pimp, loaded with cash, and of course knows all the girls. I just laugh when i see people like this, because not everyone can be famous in Oman, let alone it be Muscat, but reality speaking why someone is never that too well known is because everyone gossips.
MCT people gossip so bad, they make the movie "Mean Girls" look like an expired production movie trailer. And thanks to facebook, nowadays its even posted there. I can give a list of names of the people i know who like to show off and try to be at the top of every single one's agenda and really at the end of the day, they only qualify to be full of shit.
The way i see it, the only people who deserve A-List celebrity fame are those who do good, have talent and showcase their talent. Music artists like Mista Q, DanZak, AKD, SG, Yung Starz. Dj's who bang the sound into your ear like Dj Z3E, Dj Moodz. Models which i do not know of any, actors who also i do not know any at all, or sportsmen and women of all kind, i.e Fatma Al-Nabhani, and Ali Al-Habsi, and so on.
So who is the next celebrity, hehe. Time to laugh, even my close friends like to get on the spotlight, smile and act like they are a million dollars walking! You know what, please i beg you, do not get a life, stick to yours, and yes you might be popular today, but what about tomorrow and the day after.
"I criticize people because they behave like lame ass people. By the way if you ever made a more than twice and one sucked! Believe me, its because people just did not want to show up. If your business does not sell, but your always in Left Bank handing out business cards, then thats just absolute insane. I swear i wish i could give names of people who do shit like this but really i do not want to be called to the police station for no reason at all. Been there 3 times in a week in March alone. For the ones who think they are smart, and have it all, well good for you, the others who have nothing, but an empty glass, and a 50 Baisa change hanging, then please exit because you suck!
I take the opportunity to sometimes analyze people and what i see is just funny at times. Actually i can tell you, one of the most famous people in MCT is the Nawras guy on his Bicycle doing stunts. Everyone knows him, and he might have more recognition than you.
You know what, keep it low, if you are rich, and want fame, then please go to Milan or Hollywood and let the paparazzi get a hold of you. If your broke and love fame, stick to the F***** protocol and shut the F*** up. If you think you too perfect! well, that's just it, You are not?

I think you have heard about it, or maybe been a victim of it, but it still does not enter my freaking head at all. The word "7assid", the evil eye as how the local Arabs call it, simply means envy but with a custom touch. People keep telling me that shit like this is true, ghosts are real, yes, ghosts are real, and Casper the friendly ghost is not some super fictional character in cartoons only. This is how i'll break it down to you, if you ever do something, and people congratulate you, then they envy you! Of course they fucking envy you, Dude you just bought a car worth 200,000 Dollars, and they are still suffering from the recession that was like 2 years back. Nowadays everyone gets jealous for even the slightest thing. If your better at him/her, then they wish you bad, and maybe even get hurt and alot of drama that comes attached to to it. Well, me i do not believe all this shit, and yes i call it shit because if someone wishes you bad luck, then he must have a reason, and if his reason is just plain envy, then to hell with him.

Arabs have this thing of congratulating people for everything they do, even if they just get a simple haircut or buy a can of soda. (Yes, this is true). They also say that when you buy a car, you do the slightest thing, people are always ready to say something that might make you crash spiritually!

My words are simple, all this comes and originates from the Eastern African countries, and really to me, it's all bullshit, because if you fail, then do not blame others but yourself. Take for example you start a business, and when you do not do good, how the hell can you say that its because people are wishing for you to fail, damn right everyone is against you because you have decided to take a step forward and people never like to be left behind, but this the shit so face it and deal with it. That's why we say "In God We Trust, In People, Cash Comes First".
