Hey there.. I don't why I'm doing this, maybe because I'm absolutely unoccupied and oughta things to do, and I saw many people write down their thoughts and ideas, so I said, what the hell, I'll do it and see what others have to say about it.. Like an experiment :)So, what should the first blog ever be about.. A little about me would be good as a start. So here it is:
My name is Mohammed Ghassan Mansi, my friends call me "DiDo", nickname "DiDo FRGT/10", male, date of birth march 23rd 1984, Jordanian/Egyptian, muslim-suni, straight, smoker, not an alcoholic, father is Jordanian and my mother "god bliss her soul" was Egyptian.
PC gaming addict! Favorite games; Prince of Persia franchise "ever since the 1989 version", Need for Speed franchise, Tomb Raider franchise, Resident Evil franchise, Assassin's Creed, BIOSHOCK "love this game!!", mmm.. There are many more, but these are the basics.
Music.. Will, I don't like a certain genre, as long as I like the lyrics and the music, that's good enough for me. You might have noticed from my nickname that my most Favorite artists are "Dido Armstrong" and "Linkin Park", other favorite artists: Alanis Morissette, Evanescence, Eminem, Metallica and Enrique Iglesias.
Back to me, I was born in Kuwait, lived there till I was 6, then we moved to Jordan when Saddam invaded Kuwait on August 2nd 1990. Actually, there's a funny story here, we were on our way to Jordan the day before Saddam invaded Kuwait like every other year "Summer vication", not knowing anything about that matter, once we reached the borders we heard on the radio that Saddam invaded Kuwait :) how lucky is that :)
Anywayz, I got my mid/hi-school education there in Jordan, and I also got my B. Sc. of Software Engineering from the University of Petra in Amman on June 2006, with a very good rating :) Then, I started my journey of job seeking for nearly 6 months with no-luck, decided to start looking somewhere else, so I moved to Egypt, got my Egyptian nationality, started another journey of job seeking for 3 months, then my elder brother managed to get me an interview in a software house called "BMB-MS", and they hired me "finally :)". Worked there for 6 months, developed a great software that I'm really proud of, it was sold to huge corporations "EBIC, EMAAR and ETISALAT", and I had the chance to offer tech-support to other great corporations "Vodafone and 3 Chefs", I've gained a great experience there, but I had few disagreements with the manager, so I quit :)
Afterwards, my elder brother sent me a visa to the UAE, stayed there with him for 3 months "the BEST ever!!" seeking a job "yes, AGAIN" with no-luck "AGAIN", since they only hire people with at least 2 years experience "and I only have 6 months!!", said goodbye to my brother and his lovely family, came back here and re-started my journey of ".. will, you know what" had some interviews, but nothing so far.
That's about it "so far", and I know I said at first "a little about me", but believe me that's not half the story ;)
P.S.: Surfer Girl big fan
