what to do when you feel bored???
By strawberry_shisha •
i been here in doha for about seven months now..though i did not experience culture shock (because i already expect what to really expect here)i still find it bit boring and life here is bit monotonous..i have nothing against qatar or the people here because if you would ask me, i prefer living here than in my home country..for an expat like me, i still see lots of restrictions and the life that i was used back home was one of the things i missed about..
anyhow, anyone out there could suggest any place or any activity here in which i could spend my spare time aside from facebook and QL..thank you very much guys..hoping to read an apt response..
I think you won't find it difficult to find friends there, it's only a matter of willingness to accept people, I imagine how it will be by the time I get to Doha, need to fight boredom as well...
Well...I wanna hav more friends too :D
hahaha..wish i can find one..
get a BF and he will take all ur free time..believe me;)if u wanna have more friends - inbox me.
go to road trip To Dukhan beach .. im sure you gona have fun ;-)
I would Suggest You One thing only....
DownTown

I cannot gurantee about my volunteers.. they might go after you ;-) you know Lawa is one of volunteer .. lol
Reminded me of Tom and Jerry cartoons (the dancing bear who escaped from the zoo), he used to hold Tom's hands everytime jerry switched on the music... LOL
I'm intrested too in attending courses for either cooking or painting...
The Lord does indeed work in Mysterious ways..
Khanan with his "beautiful" hair (as Tinkerbell says) and Rizks pining for just a single hair :O(
when ur in a 7-3 job, its really boring afterwards..

you know there will be an army of QL men waiting before you on the Corniche :-D
Khanan...lol... 4PM will be too hot for me to be at corniche...anyways enjoy your date, I mean wait...:)
This QLing thing really helps to lessen boredom...

gardening, fishing, doing anything in my garage, surfing in internet....too many things...

listening to my fav tunes when I get bored...
that would be a lovely idea..i just hope that they will really like it..are u new here as well?
thanks alot for the pieces od advice..that's the reason that despite of boredoom and droning life i have here..i'd prefer to be at home than to be outside though sometimes i really want to explore doha alot..it's just the culture here is very different we have back home..
So lets go for shisha
so kabayan can we create a group and invite them instead? to play with our native games? hahahahahahaha
yeah..i will just puff shisha
SS.. I can understand what you mean... but guess there isn't dearth of singles here who are in the same state of boredom looking for some good friends...may be you can look for some like them ..just be careful though (you understand what I mean)...:)
lol
thanks alot @housewife..i got it..
Strawberry, Check ur PM
hahaha..that's a very clever idea..we'll make them as our "pamatong'..lol
exactly kabayan... we can also play patentero with this people... how bout that?
@happygolucky: i have couple of new friends here but unfortunately they are all married so we seldom go out..if there's a chance for us to have fun and bonding, i always end up out of place because they bring their hubby's with them..
@housewife: that's pretty cool..where can i enroll myself?is there any crash-course here for that?
dokie :)
@baazigar: yalla..let's go shisha as long as the flavor is strawberry..:)
@lpagaling: oh kabayan you really reminded of the games we usually play back home..
I wouldn't suggest doing anything sitting at home, specially not in the evenings....also not be alone even if you go outside... the worst part of life is being alone and indoors... try making a couple of good friends...there is nothing better than having a chat, a laugh with some good friends.... even same activity sounds fun in good company. Happy surviving, I mean living...

@220v: hmmm...you get me thinking..what my passion is drawing..art to be exact..now i'm planning to do photography..i was checking the net for any photography lessons here in qatar..i'm very new here and i'm still learning the place..
nope... it's hard for the first time, then as you go along the way, you may used to it... it can sharpen your mind, too!(: it helps refresh my rusted brain though
hobby is something that comes within ur talent.. ask urself.. what is it that u enjoy doing and u have just left it half way?
@220v: hahaha..im looking for a new hobby right now that i can spend my spare time..any suggestions?
