She don’t want NO gym

27Apr07

Here’s what Shaden did, she paid for a one-month membership in a gym and went only once. I’m not proud.
She’d rather walk in the outdoors everyday, anytime. She dislikes gyms, she thinks they’re so…artificial. I agree.

Free Abdul-Mon’em Mahmood!

26Apr07

Another journalist and blogger was arrested in Egypt! I can’t believe it, how threatening words are for some people (AKA oppressing regimes). Egyptian security forces arrested Abdul-Mon’em Mahmood, who works for Al-Hiwar channel and is also a blogger while trying to leave the country.

I’ve been busy lately, can’t find the time to write a proper post. My heart goes out to the families of Virginia Tech’s victims.

The Best Stuff in the World!

24Apr07

What do you think is the Best Stuff in the world?

Living in a Husband’s White Dishdasha

21Apr07

I’m sick of detergents commercials, especially laundry detergents. Why? because they always involve a mother doing her family’s laundry, sometimes kids’ laundry and sometimes her successful husband’s white “dishdasha”. When is this gonna change? the stereotyping of women as housewives in commercials, who’s biggest dilemma is pleasing their husbands and making his clothes whiter than [...]

In Jordan, robbery has a style, everything does. Usually, it involves one or more men and they follow one of the following two methods:
1- they enter, they physically harm the poor guy in charge of the shop often with a special kind of hammers called “Shakoosh” by Jordanians. It’s the most used weapon by thieves; [...]

مسيحي ومسلم (تاكسي ستايل)

16Apr07

كان يا مكان اليوم وأنا بتاكسي…

على الصبح وكعادتي ركبت تاكسي وحكيتله “على الدوّار الثالث” . بس اللي لازم تعرفو انّي لمّا دخلت قلتلّه السلام عليكم! والظاهر انّها كلمة سحرية متعارف عليها بين سوّاقين التاكسي. يعني يمكن لو ما حكيتها كان السوّاق اعتبرني فاسقة وريّحني من لسانو.
أنا: ما حكيت اشي بعد السلام عليكم بس عطست! وحكيت [...]

Homosexual Scraps

14Apr07

As homosexuality in the Arab world is beginning to crawl out of the closet, Islamic authorities are up for a new challenge to clarify Islam’s stand on the issue and direct the audiences to behave in a politically correct way that doesn’t contradict with the Islamic teachings.
Two years ago, a gay wedding in the UAE [...]
