Today is my 25th birthday I am celebrating my silver jubilee at the moment, I just turned quarter a century old and I had to look back and how much I did so far

I am about to get engaged to a very nice lady, I've a job and still have hair, which
is pretty much good, after all there's no way that I can do everything I want in the time I want but so far so good.

After 9 months of work, I am finally taking a vacation for a week starting next Friday, this is my first vacation at my new work.
I am going to Syria while in vacation, this is not my yearly vacation, but it's my "Refresh" vacation, like clicking F5 on the browser I need to reload my self with the breath of my home city Latakia.

Yesterday I won Helper of The Month contest at vbCity.com
I've been a member at vbCity for more than 4 years, learned a lot
there, helped a lot too and found that helping others is a great way to
learn.

I am really glad being a citizen in such a great city.

I listened to many kinds of music like pop, techno, new age(my fav), rap...etc, but never listened to Jazz, I only listened to Jazz few time while watching TV and I didn't like it, and in general I can say that Jazz music is not popular in middle east esp when comparing to metal,pop, and rap.
Yesterday the a Jazz band came to Qatar and as one of the activities of the "American Arts" they were going to play a concert at Qatar Theater.
I got a free ticket thanks to my friend wadi3 and I said to myself what the heck I'll try listening to Jazz live maybe it's different, well surprisingly I enjoyed it a lot although the band was a college band but they were pretty good, and the idea I got from TV that Jazz only played by black people was totally wrong too.
But I couldn't help myself laughing at the plug-ins of the trumpet instrument, some plug-ins look like sewer cleaner, others like hats, I never saw this stuff before.
If you never listened to Jazz because of what you saw on TV shows then don't say no for such experience you may like it just like I did.
