How do you spend your weekend?

Have you ever have a job interview in a company and prepared to talk about your weekend.

Some HRM as a part of hiring strategy typically starts off by asking candidates about their weekend, it's a genuine question. They are not looking to evaluate your answers, but rather start to hear and understand who you are as a person.

Mostly I used to spend it with my family,  but not now as per the war in Yemen. 

Now I spend it on the Internet or other activities as also we don't have electricity now in Sana'a just a solar system for a short time. 

We hope the situation getting better

Weekend is the time to forget all stress related job that we have been doing since last weekend and concentrate on things which bring happiness to us like family and friends and entertainment or spending time browsing internet. And  to organize and to get ready to face next week.

How was your weekend?   

Mine was busy, busy!  In my weekend many things capture my interest and I love, in no particular order, organizing my weekly timetable, setting up my plan, taking photos, drinking Starbucks Iced Café Mocha in  Avenues Mall , staying up late reading books on my scribd library , and finding the magic in everyday things I do .

One more thing I like to do in my weekend is baking! Baked goods at Starbucks make me happy, and good lemon pound cake recipe  is my favorite and hard to find, but this one is close to the original one , I have the lemoniest lemon loaf recipe from Pinterest . I smooth  it with touch of lemon zest in between the layers balanced the pillow sweetness.The finished cake rather resembled a snow-covered hill, thick, gooey meringue icing like . You can find briefly about recipe here:

Consider me challenged!!  I’ve always wanted to do a gravity-defying cakes in my weekend, so it is FUN for me! And easy too!

Most importantly, I just finished up another post on my bayt.

Each one of us is full of problems and responsibilities, which cause psychological stress and depression, which negatively affects our lives and our achievements and even our health, which leads us to seek and try to get a happy ending to entertain ourselves and alleviate the pressures of work week holiday.

Is the weekend of the deadlines, which can take from which the largest sleep, so most of the people lost on vacation to sleep all day, instead of sleep early, to take advantage of their vacation days to wake up early, and do special activities.

It takes work a great deal of our time, in a way that moves us away from our families and sit amid our friends, or go out with them, where increasing gap between us as a result, which leads us to seize the weekly day of our vacation to fill this gap.

The holiday of the times through which we can discover new things, new places, and even new foods and different, and in the event of lack of time to book a trip or going to the beach, you can make up for it out of ran out of the house, or do discovery and experience foods new, such as cooking, for example. We can also draw up a blueprint to go with family or friends on a shopping trip, instead of burying ourselves in our offices throughout the week, and the commitment of the killer that we do daily routine

I spend my weekend to energize myself for the next week 

a)  by spending my time with the family(relaxing),

b)by socializing with friends and relatives(networking) and

 c)  Finishing all personal businesses so that I could concentrate fully in office work in the next week (ethics- no personal business in office)
