I finally arrived in Doha now what?

Hello Chubby

It is nice for me to know that I am not alone regarding my job hunting situation.

My hubby keep on reminding me I have to be patient and just keep on applying.

sounds like you have been around a lot .. thats nice in a way :) guess u shud be comfortable settling in out here for a while .. as long as u can keep yourself occupied ..

about applying for jobs and not hearing from anyone .. well i very well know how u feel .. ive been applying all around for more than 3 months now .. got only a handful of calls .. the standard waiting period would be a minimum of 1-2 months .. if you are lucky you shud get things happening for you by sometime during the first month .. inshaAllah it will for you :)

one suffers for somethin only because they feel it entirely by themselves .. do not let things ppl say affect you .. they're not worth it :) .. you know who you are and how things are in your life .. so live like that .. About the looks here well thats pretty usual .. you will get used to it by and by .. am sure most expats have felt this at some point of time .. you neednt worry .. take it easy ..

have a wonderful time during your stay here in Qatar .. wishing you all the very best .. cheers ..

life goes on ..

Hello Novita77

That will be nice. Sounds great. Oh! my life is getting better and better ;-)

How do I send you a personal message?

There are some woman groups around Doha.

1. Ladies Tuesday Group. The next meeting would be on the 6th of Nov. It would table top sale. You can just turn up at 9.30am, pay QR 20 for the refreshment, and had a look around whatever they are selling.

2. International Potluck Meeting ... meet once a month. Most of the time in Al Jazi compound. The group ran by malaysian lady call Hasnah.

3. Expatwoman.com

This site have a coffee morning here and there ... usually once a month and ran by a lady call Nadene.

I am an asian and married to a british. There are loads of mix marriages in Doha.

Drop me a PM if you interested to come on the 6th of Nov, i can meet up with you in Ramada :D

How about that?

Azee

Thank you. I am glad to be here.

Hello Scarlett and Mariam

Sounds good. I will just do your suggestions. Yes I am bymyself a lot. It was funny the other day there is a lady I met at the coffe shop. She asked me if I am using "QL" I did not know what it was and now I am hooked.

Hello Again Everyone

I just got back from dinner. Rydges was great and good service from the manager at the restaurant. Can't sleep now got tooooo much to drink.

T_Coffe_or-Me

So sorry, pls forgive me for not writing your sign on. To be honest I have not seen anybody's profile yet I am just happy receiving replies. I didn't even know you are Indian. It does not matter to me. I have lots of friends with different nationalities. I was in 7 countries in two years and keep on living in a suite case. I am so glad we can settle here in Qatar.

So friends then?

welcome to Doha :)

Usually, a smile does the trick, with women that is. I don't give a damn about looks as long as people maintain good hygiene. Anyways, good looking women have the lowest confidence level, IMHO. MS-three you are welcome at QL.

Means I'm a white dude who loves asia...

Oh and the PI too

she's constantly getting hateful looks and comments from other women...that's certainly not fun! Women are quite different than men..we have a need to form friendships with other women...tough to do when everyone looks like they want to cut your throat...Otherwise..all she has is her husband and he works a lot...so she's by herself..

ms three. why u care about people so much? i can imagine people who made those comments. and they dont seem like u shud care them in my mind:)

that you were a mail order bride..say this...

Ohh noooooo...it was the other way around..I ordered HIM...and he is WELL worth every penny!!!

That should shut them up..or shock them enough to walk away before they catch their minds...

Also...get used to the men staring at you..that happens to everyone...

Welcome to Doha!!

I answered so many questions of MS-3 not once she took my name like she did for QS, amigo and jasskat.. is it coz my profile says i am a Indian

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.

No worries .......there r a lot of free spirits lurking on QL who I'm sure would make happy:))

Life is too short and if u r not living on the edge then u r taking up too much space.

Hello Jasskat

Yeah, I will ignore them from now on. Thank God most men here are good. They give good remarks and mostly friendly esp at the mall.

Afganistan is on the top of the list thats why it became your default

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.

HI Amigo66

No I am not from Afganistan. The system picked it up somehow but I have no t change it yet. I have been travelling around for so many years that I do not have anymore home. Hopefully Doha will be my 2nd home. Home away from home.

Hello Qatarisun

that is a good advice. I will keep it in mind. I do not talk to him about it but he does sees my reaction sometimes and kept asking me what was wrong.

If those people made those comments just by looking at you, then you already know what kind of person they/he/she are.

Be proud of who you are and what you are and don't let petty nasty people you don't even know get you down.

Welcome to QL, it's a lot of fun and a great place to meet nice people :D

tra la la

I dont think her hubby is so naive he might be knowing about it... the best thing is not to be bothered about all those remarks n glances n go on with your life

u do or dont do people will still talk ... so why ruin your life trying to please all just concentrate in pleasing your hubby

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.

doha is a bad place to be alone and also bad place to be with someone.

Atleast I have not seen people passing remarks on women in public here in Qatar. May b in private I dont know. Ur profile says u r from afghanistan.......cool....still miss Kabul and Wazir Akbar Khan....lovely place.

Life is too short and if u r not living on the edge then u r taking up too much space.

and try not to show your frustration to you husband.. if you will put in his mind that something wrong with you being married to the white guy, he might start thinking the same way.. you know.. IMAGE is everything.. so be cool, and do not pay attention and never talk about it to your hubby...

lol thats a good one we all luv icecream too

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.

ok I thought I could claim the points for ice cream he he he.

For each reply you get 1 point and each new topic 2 points... its just to show who is active n who is passive dont worry about it

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.

What is the point system is all about here? It says I have 8 points. Sorry like I said I am still new

Yes I have heard about that term too.

Some people think marrying white is like marrying a $ sign or a meal ticket but that is not the case. We fell in love for real as in "he had me at hello" ha ha ha and he calls me his true love ;-)

why not to keep your head high and be proud and happy of all this beauty?and same for your hubby because this beautyful rose is only for him.

:-D

cheerssss

Hello Qatarisun

If I write here what they say I will probably get kick-out here but here are some of them "whore, bitch she is probably good in giving him blw jb she act like she is the most beautiful here and so on.....

like i said i will get used to it and ignore them...

do you realy hear nasty remarks?? hard to believe, it's not that I don't believe you, but it's strange, because i never heard that anyone would complain about anything like that...may be i am wrong.. but if it's true, so we got another issue here in qatar, which is really sad...

yeah and about "looks".. they give them to everyone... that's why i got my Abaya, and get wrap-up every time when go to "over-public" place..btw, my buddy said: "Oh My God! why did i get it for you???now you attract attention even more"...lol

thanks so looking forward to see your full family soon lol

contact Ram in QL. he is very a nice guy, guitarist, photographer and alone here. he will take you to bidda park ;)

Oh dear, my heart goes out for you!

Others opinion about you shouldnt be your reality! Let them think what they like to think. Put it this way, they look because you have someone or something that they dont have. Just feel beautiful...think beautiful and look beautiful. To hell with them!!!

Dont lose hope. In time you will find a job that suits you.

Stay happy and well!

"Life is tough, but I'm tougher!"

i work for the white, paid in white $$ and stay next to white....

F' around white the white, drink the 'white' beer, watch the white movies.....

i am yellow inside out.......

if you cannot take it, leave it !!

Dont worry about those looks ... very soon u will get use to it

Welcome to Qatar

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.

"I do hear nasty remarks everytime I am with my husband."

Why care about their remarks. Just give it back to them in return.

I'm white on the outside and yellow inside...
