Romana's words

Sexual Harrasement - What Would You Do?

2009-10-22T14:15:00.002+02:00

My title is loud and clear I guess... For the past 6 months, a guy has been passing whatever free time he has by sexually harassing me. I did what any logical person would do, I blocked him; but he was far too persistent to let the fact that his email was blocked stop him; so he would create a new account, getting more and more creative with his addresses. It would be romanaass@yahoo.com*; Butthummromana@yahoo.com* etc.... And every time I block him, he simply re-surfaces with a new account. So i took a more extreme measure, and simply closed down my account that he was sending those emails to. And you would think that would stop him? naaaaah. Very hard working this dude, he's not that dedicated to his job btw. So he got my new address and took it to another level. Upgraded his style to sending me videos... of him...masturbating! Good thing with stalkers is that they eventually slip up without knowing so. He also used personal info about me, to spice it up. He knows my name, where I work, my cell phone number, where I travelled... and he would send an email with an info, in the subject line to guarantee that I would read it. Oh, i forgot to add this piece of info, I now know who he is. I know his wife. I know members of his family. I know some of his friends who would love such a piece of hot gossip about him.

I still didn't take any action... I keep thinking of his wife and family. Never in my life did I want to be known as a home wrecker, even though it's not my fault that the poor girl is married to sick unfaithful bastard; but being in the society that we are in, news travel fast. Can be to your benefit or turn to your worst enemy.

Imagine your father hearing that you sexually harass people in your free time? The shame? I don't think that he has thought it through. And he probably doesn't know how his slip has contributed to revealing his identity. I have replied to one of his emails. Two words. His name and Family name. After a couple of emails, he started sending me videos of girls, trying to throw me off poor thing. If he only knew. You know, I am prepared to forgive him if he voluntarily revealed his identity and asked me not to let it out. I probably wont take any action against him if he was honest with me. Enough damage has been done as it is. Do you think I'm being too lenient?

So tell me, what would YOU do? I need to read your thoughts to get different perspectives. Something will be done, but what will it be?

I'm So Pissed!

2009-08-16T08:32:00.005+02:00

Sunday morning, August 16, 2009, 8:33AM.

I'm in a stage in my life where I'm content. Strong relationship with my family; good, actually no, great friends; Work: will complain in a sec; goals for this year are mostly ticket; so الحمد الله.

Now my complain about work begins:

I have a great boss, one who I learn quite a lot from, even to the simplest of things like grammar; and I do love working for my company, we have a great team and environment; but I'm such a baby when it comes to things that I categorize under "betrayal" (I wont elaborat on the "betrayal" incident, don't want to go into one of those moods and ruin my day).. See, I know that I tend to hang on to things way past their expiry date, but I can't help it, I know it's not good for me, I know that it's not very mature, but I can't help it! I've been trying to teach myself the art of letting go, but my stupid subconscious doesn't seem to register anything I ask from it! So the result? One of two things, either feel like crying (told you, I'm a baby) every time I remember that situation, or get so angry I want to rip some body's head off! How stable am I? haha. But you know what shares those two extreme emotional states? The word Unfair.

It is unfair that I work for 5 managers when I was hired to work for one and guess what, get the pay for working for just one!
It is unfair that some of those managers assume that it is my work to assist them, and even take it for granted, when I only do it out courtesy not obligation!
It is unfair that some of those managers don't see your best interest at heart, and treat you as they want; a friend when it suits them, or a professional manager when it doesn't! And I'm supposed to accommodate that?
It is unfair that despite all of this, I still feel like it's my job to accommodate all of this shit, why? So I wont lose my "Efficient Professional" image that I've worked so hard to build.

So where does that leave me?

It leaves me blogging about my feelings, rather than taking action.

I am so pissed!

Libyans & Their Crazy Driving!

2009-07-22T17:00:00.020+02:00

Last Friday, woke up at 9am and decided to go and get fresh bread for breakfast from the bakery on Gergarish St. right after Al Emary market, and found the following:

The thing that baffles me, not that there's an accident at 9am on a Friday morning when the streets are virtually empty, no, but its the fact that this accident happened as a cause of making a U-turn?!!! as you can see from the pictures, the driver must have been accelerating for this kind of damage to happen, and the car is a Mercedez Benz, obviously an older version when companies used to make them much more stronger! so how can someone accelerate with a U-turn?!?!?!!

I couldn't take pics of the other car, which was a Toyota mini van, because the cops were standing next to it and didnt want to arouse their interest!

Why do they drive to recklessly in this country??? It's a daily battle with them I swear to you; you never know when they're coming to get you! According to the Tripoli Post, there was an estimate of 2,138 fatalities due to road accidents!!! and guess what, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) Libya has the second highest number of road accident in the Arab world!!!

Shell is doing "Road Safety" awareness videos, posters, bill boards, you name it, but do you think anything is sinking in???

I get so frustrated when I drive here that I, more often than not, want to beat the sh** out of them! I really can't let go and forgive when driving; if i had a gun, I kid you not, we would come first on the number of road accidents in the Arab world!!! See what a nice girl I am? at least I'm being honest!

Be safe and careful, and preferrably gun-free! hehehe

Would you like a drink?

2009-07-15T23:11:00.007+02:00

The best thing man created was those mobile phones with cameras, I can feel PH cringing at my inaccurate wording! hehehehe but my very old Nokia N72 with its 2MP for a camera is always there when I need it! all it takes is to slide the lid down for the show to begin and taraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa , for your eyes only (does this phrase remind you of anything!? hehe) & CHEERS!

Evolution!

2009-05-27T13:11:00.001+02:00

In a world such as ours, where technology is upgrading in a rate that we can’t get our heads around, where you can practically get anything online from the things that clothe you to the things that feed you to finding your soul-mate(it’s been known to happen!). We’re in a world that is capable of doing anything, of course, living in certain countries either gives you carte blanche to such facilities or wipes the memory of the word “carte blanche” from your memories the way Will Smith wipes memories with that device of his in Men in Black!

But why is it that I would rather be a in a place stripped from the word high-tech, in a place where I know that the tomatoes I’m eating are freshly grown and not are a result of an over-fertilized greenhouse? Or the mint that I’m having in my tea is one I picked from the small square behind my house I proudly call my garden rather than those foul smelling mints we buy from the market. I swear to you, they don’t even smell like mint anymore, they smell like they’ve been watered by sewage blended in rotten eggs soaked in fish guts that were fed dog shit!!! I put out your appetite, eh?! It wouldn’t have been fair to the mints if I did not do my best to translate my disgust, and trust me, I’m not doing them justice!

My mom wants to buy a piece of land just to start planting her own vegetables and fruit, you are what you eat no? And how can you know who you are if you don’t know what you’re eating? Just because it looks like a cucumber does not mean it is, it sure doesn’t taste like one! It’s like the taste is diluting! And hey, I do want to stay alive and healthy to see what the next generation is going to evolve to. Humans from the outside, and what from the inside?

Bubble Bath

2009-04-23T10:38:00.002+02:00

Every time I watch something romantic, or God forbid has love in it, I seem to open a gateway to a long lost forgotten chamber, and exhibit A ladies and gentlemen, is me actually giving up my toast (well not giving up, but it’s getting cold!) to rush to my room and type all this… it’s that feeling I get; you know when you get a hug from a four year old and the flood of warm feelings that conquers your body? Well, I’m running on romance people! And it’s beautiful every once in a while… it really is. It’s like I’m treating myself to a warm bubble bath :)

So dearly beloveds, treat yourself to a warm bubble bath every once a while, its more gratifying than that piece of toast I’m going to heating up in a sec!

Bundle of Joy

2009-03-17T08:52:00.000+02:00

I was driving down Gergaresh road last week and got stuck in Gergaresh’s traffic, which just a typical Gergaresh behavior, but I couldn’t help but notice when I was trying to practice what is known as patience, a Libyan father on the side-street, with his beautiful baby girl (the pink outfit gave her away :P) held next to his heart, smiling, proud, letting his friends shake her tiny hands and kiss her pink cheeks, practically parading her, and you can see his eyes twinkle when he’s looking at her, but I also couldn’t help but wonder, will the twinkling die as soon as his sweet bundle of joy starts talking? Will she still be his bundle of joy when she turns 18? Will the parade transform to one where he orders her to march out of his sight like that of a Nazi officer seeing a Jew?

Where does all that disappear? I often wonder, where did that twinkle fade to? Why is it when a girl grows up in Libya, she also grows out of her dad’s life?

I might be mistaken; maybe that beautiful pink baby will be her dad’s bundle of joy as long as she lives. One can only hope. But then again, one can only wonder.

Why do I have to sell my self?

2009-03-05T10:39:00.002+02:00

Life is a weird weird place... I just dont get it anymore... not that i ever did, mind you!

Everyone keeps telling me that I have to sell myself in order to succeed at work, inorder to be noticed, inorder to be promoted! I have to sell my values, exagerate the simple truth and paint a picture of myself that Da Vinci cant compete with!

Why do I have to auction my quality of work to see who bids the most on it and not simply be appreciated for my integrity and honesty?

Poeple keep telling me to play the "I'm going to quit" card inorder to get a salary raise?! How can people do that?! I have to threathen you to get your respect and get myself a higher pay?! what kind of twisted logic is that?!

And apparently, that's how it works everywhere... you have to always test your worth... and that's just sad... very, very sad.

2008 and my 2009

2009-02-11T21:25:00.002+02:00

2008 was one hell of a year. We’ll see what 2009 has in store for us. And here’s my list, between myself and I:

1- Be less nice to ppl I don’t need to be nice to in the first place
2- Lose my 5 KGs
3- Stop spreading myself thin for ppl who are not worth it
4- Listen to my gut feeling
5- Concentrate on what matters
6- Less talking, more listening
7- Try not to take everything so personally and lighten up
8- Try not to be so trusting, my back is decorated with stab wounds
9- Try to heal from those wounds and move on and let go, rather than just storing them in that
box in the back of my mind
10- Try to stop pleasing everyone but myself
11- Stop exaggerating my problems with myself

And the list goes on (u don’t want to know how much more of a psycho I am)… but I don’t know what else to add… see, anyone who sees me think I’m this confident, successful, see the half full glass kinda girl, and I am…. I am happy, I am confident, and Al Hamdulilah I’m content , but I’m screwed up as well… silly things tips off my balance… not anything, but stupid little things hurt me… and that tips off my balance… and I wish I could be hurt less, or just immune myself to the silliness. It would definitely help me in the long run, less frown lines!!!

I don’t like being hurt (like who does eh!) and I do everything in my power not to get hurt. I don’t do well with hurt, I’m just one of those people that collapses internally when hurt, of course no one is any wiser, because I don’t usually share, I just collapse with myself and I have me to pick me up… and that’s why I’m extra nice, that is why I spread myself thin, especially for my friends and family, because I don’t want anyone to do anything that would hurt me… weird self defense mechanism?! Things happens, and yes, I do know that hurt is a part of life, but I try to avoid it as much as possible… but see, I guess being over-protective only makes u less immune to hurt and no matter how well prepared you are, something always will sneak up on you when you least expect it… hey, I’m still raw… my wound is still fresh… so excuse the extra melancholy!

Okaaaayyy, enough drama for one day! But hey, it’s my blog, I’m allowed! :P I’m being cheeky, lol, did it work? Hehe

I’m listening to Travis’s “Sailing Away” , and will leave you at that :)

Gaza ... my condolences

2008-12-30T12:33:00.008+02:00

I can't even watch the news anymore... I don't want to see and hear about any more casualties, I just cant....

Can humans be so inhumane? How is that possible? Animals don't kill each other, and when they do, it's for SURVIVAL! Is that what we are turning into by 2009? Animals???

How can Husni Mbarak live what he did? how???

Are they trying to wipe the Palestinan's existence? How can the Arab leaders just sit and do nothing but watch Al-Jazeera, Al-Hurra or Al-Arabiya?! Is that all that can be done? Watch?!!!

Ya 7'sara ...

To blog, or not to blog

2008-12-21T02:58:00.004+02:00

And that is the question that’s been tormenting me for the past couple of months. Ok, tormenting is an exaggeration, cos I wasn’t tormented, but it occupied a lot of thinking space!

I love writing, now whether I have the knack for or it or not, is pretty much debatable; and proof for my debatable love is that you’re reading this now, cos I pretty much vowed that I won’t blog again, it stopped being fun, but never say never!… I re-read my previous posts and comments and will list what I felt:

1- Stupid for not proof-reading
2- A bit of a hypocrite
3- Different

Its either I’m a hypocrite (just a bit :P), or people have different convictions over time. I also sucked-up a lot!!! I hated myself… when I read some of my comments to some of the bloggers all I kept thinking, ughhhhhh bloody hell, can you suck-up any more! I was trying to be nice… and ended up all over the place! That’s my problem, I try to be nice to avoid hurting people’s feelings, and end up doing something I’m not content with. What does that say about me!?! I was not genuine. I just kept over-doing it sometimes, saying things that doesnt completely represent me as a person. I started this blog to be me, but ended up being a bit of everyone I despise. I'm not saying that I did not enjoy writing the blogs, or that the words written are ones that I don't approve of or feel like I need to detach myself from, no, I enjoyed every word and all the time spent typing and conjuring them :) and it was me all the way, I just can't help but think that romana today isn't the same romana that typed those words to the extent that I'm calling her a hypocrite! I think i have split personality disorder or something!!! :P

I don’t even know why I’m blogging again, a part of me does not want anyone to find out that I’m blogging again I just want this space for myself, but at the same time, I want my words to be read, laughed at, commented on… I just don’t want those compliments that we Libyans are so good at. I don’t want anyone to comment out of courtesy… I don’t want anyone saying they liked something so they wouldn’t offend me, really, no one owes anyone anything, so can we be ourselves in this so called anonymous space of ours?

Now why I felt different? I can’t really put my finger on it… but I didn’t feel it was me all the way… I loved the font Verdana then, I thought it was the most beautiful font there is, now I’m in love with Arial size 10, and as silly as this sounds, but that is change too… I wore more colours, and been wearing less colour than I used to and lots of black lately (not just to look slimmer :P) … ok, I’m being a bit morbid ? Hehe I don’t want to try and attempt to understand myself, I will just go with the flow … it’s much easier this way… it’s probably just a phase… but then again, life is a series of phases :)

Now that’s one long come-back post!

Eid Mubarak, Merry Xmas, and a very Happy New Year to you all :)

Now that's Talent!

2007-09-18T10:36:00.001+02:00

I love talented people, i just love them. Talent doesnot love me :( but hey, i learned to live with that a long time ago... ahh u know what, i'm bored and i dont want to make more of a fool of myself, so, lets leave it at, ENJOYYY :)

It's time for an update, dont you think?

2007-09-10T13:54:00.002+02:00

Hellos Hellos Hellooos

It's been a while!!!

usually when something remotely exciting happens in my life, a light bulb flashes and think " i have to blog about it", for some reason, the electricity wires in my brain were down with humidity, lol, it was only yesterday that my current circuit started flowing properly, and as u see, I'm blogging!

every Sunday and Thursday, mama has a lady who comes to help her out with the cleaning. the symptoms cleanliness are obvious, i come home, smell dettol on the stairs, that's how i know that Baheeja is over. Yesterday as i was walking up the flight of stairs, there was no dettol! so i came in, and said my hellos to my parents, and asked mama why did not Baheeja come in today?

and here's the story:

Poor Baheeja is the most clueless woman you can ever meet, really, she's not the vulgar type , or rude, or anything in that category, not at all, as a matter of fact, i don't like to see her when i come home sometimes, because there's so much sadness in her eyes, that can drown Little Miss Sunshine!!! but then again, she wouldn't have left Morocco and came to Libya to work as a maid if her life was all cheery now, would she?

she usually takes a cab to our house, drops her right where she wants, but yesterday was different. As she was approaching our house, she asked the guy to enter the zanga (whats a zanga in english?), but he didn't. He just kept going his way, away from where she asked. Apparently, he had something fishy in mind, because every time she asked him to stop, he wouldn't... dear Baheeja opens the door, and throws herself out of the car, just like in those Hollywood action movies where the victim jumps out of the car, rolls over, and stands, as if its a mundane-day-to-day thing jumping out of cars. Well its not a mundane-day-to-day thing!!! Baheeja is safe and sound Alhamdulila, but the impact was strong enough to nearly dislocate her hips, her knuckles were bleeding, and her sides were bruised poor thing.

and that's why???? probably cos that old granpa asshole of a cabdriver automatically did the Libyan math for Moroccans, which is, Moroccan = slut, excuse my french!

and it just frustrated me, she's such a good woman, i mean if she is the type that oozes sexual signals, i would understand, but really, she's not! it just made me hate Libyan men even more, because that's how MOST of them are, any walking female, is simply and merely something to bang, of course, except for their holy mothers and sisters, not saying that they are not, but u get my point i guess!!!

Isn't this sad? just tell me, can men be more retarded?

Now Baheeja had the guts to jump, those who are more timid, what are they to do?

now, my fellow male bloggers, don't account this as a hint of a insult to you, or start defending MAN in general. because the type of man who allows himself to be so , so, so, so, I DON'T HAVE A WORD TO EXPRESS MY DISGUST!!!

so that's poor Baheeja's story, and its probably the story of millions in Libya, we should make a support group or something from all those physical and verbal harassments.

my only question, WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO GROW UP?!

Dry Spell :S !

2007-07-22T10:55:00.000+02:00

since I'm very stupid, and very forgetful (i dont know how i get hired!) there will be no pics today, i forgot the chord to my phone! owww and some very very sad news, my Pc a3takom 3omrah! il ta3azi maftoo7a min il youm! honestly, i got the nuttiest PC in Libya! i had it fixed 2 months ago, lost all my pics, and all my memories, and now AGAIN! it simply would not start! how saddd!!! i took precautions this time, i had all my pics burned... so t3alamna!

so, i will try and give u a brief update..

I'm at my new job, I'm getting used to it, my boss is probably the nicest boss 3ala wajh il ard! so overall, i love it... i still need to learn a lot of things... and the girl who i replaced, taught me the most important things... I've honestly never ever seen a girl as helpful as she is, so THANKS DAMOON! yep, its her I'm replacing! its only when time passed i learned how much she did for me, and u have no idea how more i respected her after what she did... so Damoono, if u're reading this dudette, thanks babes :)

what else what else.... i missed blogging, with a passion! last Tuesday we had people coming over to congratulate me on my graduation... poor mom prepared so much food it lasted 2 days, i took pics of everything, but since i told u, my PC is officially dead now, i don't have any visual proof!

anyways, i gotta go now, i will leave u with the following, found it in my clutter the other day... u judge:

Two men were on a plane on a business trip when a Muslim couple boarded the plane and were seated right in front of them.
The two men, eager to have some fun, started talking loudly. "My boss is sending me to Saudi Arabia", the one said, "But i don't want to go...too many Muslims there!"
The Muslim couple noticeably heard and grew uncomfortable. The other guy laughed, "Oh yea, my boss wanted to send me to Pakistan but i refused,... WAY too many Muslims!"
Smiling, the first man said, "One time I was in Iran but I HATED the fact that there were so many Muslims!"
The couple fidgeted. The other guy responded, "Oh yea...you cant go ANYWHERE to get away from them...the last time i was in FRANCE i ran into a bunch of them too!"
The first guy was laughing hysterically as he added, "that is why you'll never see me in Indonesia...WAY too many Muslims!"
At this, the Muslim man turned around and responded politely, "Why don't you go to Hell?" , he asked, "I hear there's not very many Muslims THERE!"

*************************************************************************************

i personally think there will be a lot of Muslims in THERE!

anyway, here's another one:

A man is taking a walk in Central Park in NY. Suddenly he sees a little girl being attached by a pit bull dog. he runs over and starts fighting with the dog. he succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life. A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says"you are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: "Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl"

The man says:- "But i am not a New Yorker!"

"Oh, then it will say in newspapers in the morning: "Brave American saves life of little girl" the police man answers.

"But i am not an American!" - says the man.

"Oh, what are you then?"

the man says:- " I am a Saudi!"

The next day the newspapers says: "Islamic extremist kills innocent American dog."

*************************************************************************************

so what do u think?

UPDATE! lol

2007-07-12T14:33:00.000+02:00

3ala 7'ater 3yoonik ya Maysoon, im updating! lol so please, keep visiting!

I was coming home form work, and of course being in Libya means u're always subjected to a major traffic jam because some ass just refused to follow the rules, or just wanted to do his own thing, we've got lots of free-spirits in Libya, all wanting to do their OWN thing! now you see, if you have a small car, you can waltz your way, zigzag your way out, its dangerous at times, but passable! BUT IF YOUR A DAMN 6AN6A YOU CANNOT! YOU JUST CAN NOT! so that’s what happened, some ASS, and please excuse my French, decided to do his thing! and what a thing it was! i of course took some pictures! if it wasn’t for some guys, i think i would still be there!

Oh, something else OLD MEN SHOULD HAVE THEIR LICENSES REVOKED! AS SIMPLE AS THAT! im THE MOST sympathetic person on the face of the earth trust me, bs ba3d that day, I realized that we are in a country where no one wants to cooperate, or do anything to better their country, A dog eat dog policy. Ya Rabbi Nafsi o 7'alas! no team spirit whatsoever! Most of the old men driving where the ones that were the most stubborn, they just wouldn’t abide! Whenever they saw a chance they to escape, they would take it, causing more choas and jam as a result! I just hated them; I hated the selfishness in them. No one, and im not exaggerating, tried to cooperate! reffering to old stubborn men. It's your country, its your roads, you make it a better place to live it, my mom always tells me
الجنة من غير ناس ما بتنداس - ما بتنداس يعنى ما تقدرش تعفس فيها .

So how about living in a country with this lot?

Mr.6AN6AAAAA trouble maker!

1st attempt, those 2 guys had enough, so they turned off their engines, and tried to sort out this mess! it took them 25 minutes to think "i've had enough" how patient! eh!

thats the 3rd guy, if it wasnot for him, and the Mr.man with badla 3askariya i think, we would've gotten stuck till eternity! the previous 2 couldnot do anything!

Here's Mr.Man with badla 3askariya! THANK YOU 3AMOUUUU

35 minutes later, lots of sweating! uff!!o rawaye7! Allah la yshamemkom! He was able to set us free!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY IM FREEEEEEEEE, i keep dreading going via this road now, dont have a choice though!

Clutter , Memories...

2007-07-08T09:09:00.000+02:00

Good morning everyone, Inshalla you all had a lovely weekend :)

I was really bored on Friday, so I decided to rummage through my closet to tidy it a bit... I came across a box , on the lid a bold red "KEEP OUT", typical teenager! lol

It's been forever since i have last checked it, and reminisced with it! I have totally forgotten about my dearly beloved box, that I actually forgot it exsisted... God the things you let urself burry in your memories! So Ii took a look, everything chaoticaly in place as I last left it!

I found my letters, my cards, and then my clutter! I have a bad habbit of keeping everything and anything a friend has given to me... LITERALLY! I found a bunch of stuff, to anyone , they seem useless, to me, long forgotten memories... glad I found them, I needed a potion of happiness... I took pictures of course, how could I not?

I was telling my friend that keeping a blog is like keeping a newspaper, you should always have some material ready for posting! lol it feels good, hope im making a good editor!

Here you go, You all have a wonderful day :)

I have everything labelled, i know its minuscule,u could save the pic, zoom in, read,good resolution, dont worry, :)

Bunch of my letters, still have more... just a sample.. lol

my report cards!!!!

IM FRUSTRATED,ANGRY, PISSED OFF, AND SAD!!!

2007-07-05T10:28:00.000+02:00

I had an accident last Thursday,dont worry, all is fine, still one piece, some A** just decided to cross the red light, and boom, i was the vitctim of his negligence! My poor parents are stuck driving me to, and from work!

Yesterday i had to make them wait a little bit, was handed work at the last minute... so they switched on the radio, Libya FM, and listened to this "Sheikh" ramble on!

I JUST HATE WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO ISLAM, THEY ARE ABUSING EVERYTHING ISLAM STANDS FOR!!!

so here's this a**'** "fatwa":

1-A woman should never do ANYTHING without her husband, when he comes home, and goes to sleep, she should stop everything she's doing and go to sleep as well, she shouldn't sit infront of the tv with her kids and watch tv with them, damn the kids , she should rush to her husband وتنخمد معاه!!!

2- She should ask for his permission in EVERYTHING, even when she goes to pray. She must ask him "Dear husband, please excuse me, but can i go and pray?"

what the F****!!!!!!!

3- According to Sharee3a, if the wife is widowed, and has no kids, she's not entitled to anything but what al sharee3a states.If she was to be homeless and his family asked for the house, they can have the house, and she has to
"اتدبر امورها لانو الشريعة تنص على ذلك "

4- I SWITCHED OFF THE DAMN RADIO COS I COULDNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE!

I understand, totally understand that there are things Al sharee3a states, but then again, الدين سماح، معاملة،رفق،سلام not what this "sheikh" is saying!

so if a widow, who spent her life with her husband, sharing with him her life, her love, has to اتدبر امورها ??? she's just simply kicked out? What are WE slaves? sub-servants?Inferior?Secondary? Our mere existance is to fulfill man's every yearning sexual, emotional, spiritual desire? Is that what we are on this earth for!?! IS THAT WHAT ISLAM SAYS???IT DOESNOT!!! IT DOES NOT!

SO WHY ARE THEY MUTILATING IT? WHY?

you wanna hear latest "Fatwas" as well, some Saudi "Sheikh" حرم Barbies, why??? because when he felt up the doll whose made for 5 years olds, it turned him on, it enticed him, why? Because apparently Barbie's plastic made body resembles that of a woman's(DUH), so its 7aram to buy any barbies لانها تثير غرائز الرجل !!!!

WHY WAS HE FEELING A BARBIE??? WHAT ELSE DOES HE TOUCH THAT TURNS HIM ON??? WHO IS HE TO يحرم و يخلل?! AND since when has it become such a normal, day-to-day chore for someone to simply يحرم و يحلل? I honestly dont get it anymore??

please do notice that the previous "fatwa" and the next one are sexually related!

Now here's another "Fatwa" for you:

If a guy is sitting in a cafe, and he leaves, then a woman sits in the same place right after he leaves, when his chair or seat is still warm its considered "zina" cos "sexual intercourse" has taken place! As the woman sat right in the man's warm seat?!!!!

I AM GOING CRAZY!

WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO???

Islam, my condolences...

Things to do when ur co-worker goes on Vacation!

Caring about things that dont really matter!!!!?

2007-07-01T10:36:00.000+02:00

It's a bit outdated, but i wrote this a year ago, when all the fuss was still fresh...i tried to be as objective as possible... read on.

All my friends and some of my family always tell me, "You should write a book"... I often Wondered, is it cos i use language better than they do? or because they just bid me well, or is It cos they are just being supportive and I want to hang onto anything that could encourage me into accessing my dream... I often wonder....

But, let's say i did decide to start such a huge step... what would i write about? i would be another "cheesy writer", putting their feelings into letters, publish them for other people to read... what else would i add to this miserable thing called "world" ? there are some people who looked death in the eye, and didnot write books, and here i am, thinking of writing a book cos i had a stupid row with my mom??? is that worth hundreds of papers to-be typed? the expenses that would come with it? i mean really, think about it... what have i got to add...besides my feelings and thoughts?? im just another peorson. i would love to be that miracle, or genius that would add some flavor to her book, making it a best seller, ok, lets not aim too high here, i would settle for having people reading it and thinking its good enough to buy.

So here i am, trying to find a topic to write about... and nothing really...i mean nothing of real worth.should i tell you how my day went by? or should i discuss with you my point of view on some of the hot topics discussed nowadays? probably start with the "The Vinci code" that's a good topic to discuss... but i will fall in to some category of people, i wont be introducing anything special... some people find it crossing the lines, and some simply don't... that's what it falls into in the end of the day..personally, im with the latter part of people... im not a very well-read person, so i won't offer any philosophies about Christianity or any of the topics dealt within the book... i can't just say something when i am not sure about...

what i can say is this: he wants to write the book, because he found some hardcore evidence supporting his findings ... so why is everyone so against him and his book? people are making a big deal of it, making the common,ordinary people such as myself, who aren't all acknowledged about everything there is to know, think, why are they making such a big fuss?

God gave us freedom to express anything we want right? so let everyone express it, if someone thought something, no matter how trespassing he is to religions, or human rights..its his problem... its his own and only opinion, and if there are other people who support him, then again, it's their own and only decision to do so... the media is just influencing us to believe things in exaggerated terms ... ok, what if what the discussed topics in his book turned out to be true... they are not God to say that those events aren't true... where they there with Jesus Christ if he married or didn't marry Merriam the Magdalene? the old testemant was written 400 years after the death of Jesus Christ! so where they there? are there any live
eye-witnesses? No, but there is historic evidence that leads us to believe things people interpreted, and lead us to believe those interpretations, according to their views and beliefs...

Isn't that what's happening now? Just waves of thoughts, and ideas flowing into our brains, that are induced by other people... practically we are not thinking for ourselves, we are thinking what they want us to think... so??? what are we thinking exactly?

so, he wants to write, let the guy write...remember the fuss that was made by the caricature drawings of Prohpet Mohammed?? Muslim countries boycott danish products... their embassies were closed down..yada yada yada, for those who prefer etc, then, etc etc etc... and then? what is the use? there is a limit not to be crossed, there should be boundaries in life, that is true... cos then we would be living in the wild....a guy, drew some stupid things about the Prophet of Islam Mohammed, if that's what he thinks deep down, and then put those drawings to reality, like i am doing now, putting my thoughts on paper, or a "notepad" in my case to be precise... so what? its his thought? if others agree with him, then buy the freaking paper and laugh with him, those are against him,then simply dont buy the paper, one person's thoughts doesn't embody the Prophet of Islam in some lousy drawings... he already thinks it, what has changed? the riots? the burnings? the aggressive response he found from the Muslim world? is that what he was seeking? and what did the Muslim world achieve by all this destruction? not one damn thing, they just made those who didn't give a damn, give a damn, and those who didn't buy the paper, buy the paper... so, again?

Let alone some good old-fashioned reputation about Muslims, let alone what the world already thinks of us, all those irresponsible acts lead the world to believe that we are terrorists, why couldnt they just object peacfully like the Christians did on the topic of the "The davinci code" ? what did they achieve? defend Prophet Mohammed? He doesnot need defending... if someone who has a right frame of mind, he would simply search the net about him, and they will find out who he truly was, a divine person... common, u r reading this through the net, why dont you do some simple searches about him? what it will take 15 minutes of your time to find out who this person was? other than just copying the thoughts of other people into your brain??

I just dont see why people fuss about unimportant stuff when there are more serious things in this world than a writer who says that Jesus Christ had a wife, messing with Christianity and what people believe, or some Journalist who portrays the Prophet Mohammed in such a demeaning way... there are some serious epidemics in this world, that needs our attention more than those read, and watched so called problems ..

People are dying for God's sake; people are suffering, real, flesh and blood human beings are being tortured. Live and breathing...suffer... and we give our undivided attention to articles, books... and people are dying... is that what the world has come to? caring about things that dont really matter?

Collection! lol

My feelings, My thoughts, Myself…

2007-06-28T14:40:00.000+02:00

I used to write, write a lot, it was my way of letting me out of me… as silly as those words sound, but writing was a way I could express myself without anyone judging me…without anyone grading me, without anyone telling me, Romana, this isn't right… the fact that I chose to spend my time, my space, typing away on a WordPad means it’s the right thing, for me. I don’t want someone telling me this isn’t right… im not a kid anymore, I know im not a proper adult, but im old enough to make my own decisions, ones I can truly call mine. I miss writing, I miss letting go, I miss the satisfaction of it all, I just miss forming words into sentences, and say "I wrote this" I miss it.

I'll share this with you, I've always wanted to be a writer… I don’t know what else I have to add to the world, I just know im another different person… yes I am but a mere population statistic to the world, but I matter to my friends, to my family, to the people I communicate with, to the people I share something with no matter how trivial. I do exist, all I have to do is write and let you know that I DO EXIST…or else u wouldn't have known, I would've been a statistic to you too.

You know what I want to do? I want to apologize to all the people I've hurt during my life, we all do it one way or another, passively, actively, it's not the way, it’s the result… it is done… it is true the intention is what matters the most, but when someone is hurt, can we stop and say " I did not mean to hurt to, it wasn't my intention to hurt you, it's not my fault" or rather say " im so sorry I've hurt you" and stop there, and ask what was the cause of hurt…why was I the reason to ache that someone's heart?

Feelings are abstract; they've been teaching us that since primary school, as an example for the word "abstract".
Often than not, one of my ex-friends and I would have this argument "I did not say anything to hurt u, why are u hurt, I did not mean to" she'd say, and I'd tell her " but im hurt, I cant control being hurt, I am just hurt" can you control being hurt?

God I miss her.
I usually write down lines from movies, cause I simply fall in love with them,
"She's a great person, she's just not great with me" I can't remember what movie that was in, but that’s how I best describe my relationship with my ex-friend. She is a great person…….

"I did what I had to do, because it was the right thing to do that is all. Now we are all ordinary people, but even in an ordinary secretary, or an ordinary housewife, or a teenager, can within their own small ways turn on a small light in a dark room"
From the movie Freedom Fighters.
It is a beautiful movie, an extension to my "what would you do if you where in their shoes???" post. It says it all. It’s a true story. If you can get it, please do, I guarantee you will love it as much I did.

Im typing this from home, I want to share it with you, share my feelings, true feelings with you. Hey you got to see my emotional side!

You take care, all of you, everyone who has you in their lives is lucky, and you are lucky because you are in their lives.

What does my desktop say about my za3ma,this is my work PC!

What would you do if you were in their shoes?!

2007-06-27T09:57:00.000+02:00

Racism, how does one start writing about this world-wide dilemma? I’m only going to stick to the borders of my country though. I know that I’m not the first person to attempt writing about it, and some would probably say I’m repetitive and unoriginal, but I DON’T CARE!!! Because every person’s thought counts, and ever person’s feeling, IS ORIGINAL!

It hurts; it literally hurts me when I see how people with black skin are treated
as an inferior race. Who gave the white race an upper hand? Why would color only be the judge of that person’s entire life? Allah created both the black and the white that way, why should there be any difference, but in the obvious color difference? It’s a simple why! No hidden depths in this question, not a deeper meaning embedded beneath it, just, WHY?

How would you like it if people ordered you around and treated you like dirt?
How frustrated would you get, and how insulted would you feel if you have
to shut up and take in, because almost in all cases your job depends on it? How would THAT feel??? I don’t even want to know how I would feel; just thinking about it makes me mad, how about living it, EVERY, DAY, OF, YOUR ,LIFE?

I know that all these words are practically gibberish, life a blank cheque, but there is not much I can do, words with no action, to me it’s a moral epidemic. I just hope this blank cheque of mine makes someone think what would they do if they were in their shoes?

I’ll leave u with an excerpt of Robert Kennedy’s speech, “On the Mindless Menace of Violence” written after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King.

“Some look for scapegoats, others look for conspiracies, but this much is clear: violence breeds violence, repression brings retaliation, and only a cleansing of our whole society can remove this sickness from our soul. ““For there is another kind of violence, slower but just as deadly destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions; indifference and inaction and slow decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colours. This is the slow destruction of a child by hunger, and schools without books and homes without heat in the winter. “

Could they be any Dumber???

2007-06-25T17:15:00.000+02:00

Please please read on and see HOW DUMB AND STUPID THOSE PPL ARE!!! I just loved those answers, made me wonder what the hell where they thinking when they responded, or asked those questions!!! emm, i guess they werenot thinking! lool check'em out... Maysoon, hope those will cheer u up as well ...

Daar El-Teleel---> AMAZING!

2007-06-24T16:46:00.005+02:00

On the 1st of June 2007 I went with the company I previously worked for to Daar El-Teleel, right after Sabratha.It was for work, Repsol's Family Day out... I went there for face-painting, the children's of course... I didn’t know I had painting skills until that day!!! I had never done anything like it before, I always thought it was such a responsibility...a kid would ask u to paint a helicopter for all I know on his face, what the hell would I do then? Anyway, I took the risk! It went perfectly well, no helicopters were requested, plus girls were the mostly my audience, so flowers, hearts, girly pink related stuff were mostly on demand...looolIt was a totally new experience recorded in the diary of my life... and I really wished the day would never end! The place was so beautiful, the beach so blue, its like those beautiful photos of beaches in the Caribbean... don’t worry, I took pictures...

One of the reasons I went was the kids, precisely kids from the orphanage... they made my heart ache, honestly... I hate seeing people in distress, how about innocent little kids?! On the contrary to what everyone told me prior this day, they are so polite and well-behaved, as a matter of fact, they were more well behaved than the rest of the Libyan kids... I honestly wished I could adopt them all and end their misery... Balek Inshalla when I get married, I will make this step...
You have no idea how much joy you can be filled with when you spread a smile on their faces, or be a part of a beautiful memory to kids who see nothing but hardship everyday... to be a part of their lives, even for some hours, was an honour, and a privilege.

Anyways my darlings, plz check the photos below... and hope u will pay the place a visit... and plz note that those pics where taken in a cloudy weather, so just imagine how beautiful this all would be in a clear day filled with sunshine...

oww see how beautiful

Hotel view from the seashore

Dont you just want to stay there?

Hotel Entrance

Lobby, all marbel

It's amazing how well-taken care of this place is... super clean, simply, not tacky like some of the "wannabe buildings" in Libya... its just to the point... a nice hotel, 4 stars,good service, beach, swimming pools... its just a lovely spot to check... i recommend.. =)

Chivlary IS DEAD!

2007-06-21T08:18:00.000+02:00

I always prided myself for being a Libyan girl living in Libya...why you might ask? Here’s the answer, cos guys here in Libya are always there for you if you got into trouble, whether you know them or not... if you had a flat tire, accident (La sama7a Allah), in a fight, or any sort of help that needs a strong hand of a man. However, apparently guys are getting sick of being the brave, courageous and oh-so-helpful!!! The pic on the left is that of my car's flat tire... my friend and i were together, and we thought to ourselves, we'll do it on our on, it's not that big a deal...we will change the tire without Mr.Male's hand... I parked in a zanga, turned off the engine, opened the trunk, took out the tools, and rolled our sleeves up... i always thought i was a strong girl... and i thought i was until the damn screws didnot want to get unscrewed, i tried and tried, and tried, i shifted my whole body's power to the right, to the left, NOTHING!!! all my attempts and my friend's went down the drain, so we thought we would resort to Mr.Male for a hand, me all in awe of their physical power... BUT U THINK SOMEONE STOPPED!!!! All they did, LITERALLY was check us out, and leave, check us out and leave, CHECK US OUT AND LEAVE!!!! can you believe it... Romana looking all helpless like a cute puppy and u dont come and help her??? THAT'S YOUR JOB, they're supposed to be our knights in shining armour! so i am here to announce, that the thing i prided myself for ,is apparently dying.... im sure there are some guys who would be more than happy to get their hands dirty for us girls.... but coincidentally that day they were taking the day off... so my dear sisters of the world, im so so sorry to say out loud, at the top of my lungs, CHIVLARY IS DEAD! Seems like the bad and corrupted cells in their brains are taking over! Good qualities and manners are so extent, that im so afraid of what's going to happen in 2 to 5 years... bil 7ag ya 7'sara....

Mashalla...now that's talent!!!

2007-06-20T12:11:00.000+02:00

I'm still pissed off, and im still hot (not that hot! lol the disgusting/sticky/angry/weather hot), but i thought hey what the heck... live with it o 7'las, no choice! (za3matik i reached a
ground-breaking conclusion! awenna!) so i was checkin my flash desk, wanted to clean it from all the clutter, and found the following... and everytime i see it, i go, MASHALLA MASHALLA MASHALLA 3ala il talent illi 3endah...check it out, and u'll see what i'm talking about...

From me to you, tra laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ( i needed loon fray7i sayfi shwaya)

ps: plz note that these are mere drawings, paint o 7'las, well that and the TALENT Allah has bestowed on him!

More chalk drawings from Julian Beever. Scroll down slowly and stop at each new frame. Incredible!!!!! Julian Beever is an English artist who's famous for his art on the pavement of England, France, Germany, USA, Australia and Belgium ..... Beever gives to his drawings an amazing 3D illusion.

People are actually avoiding walking in the "hole"

The image below has been taken from a wrong angle:

ROMANA ON FIRE!!!

2007-06-20T09:03:00.000+02:00

My dear fellow bloggers;

Yesterday at 9:30 pm, Tripoli Libya, electricity was cut off from Romana’s neighborhood, noting that it was more than 40 º C. The heat was unsustainable with ACs working, how about none?

Due to the insurmountable waves of heat, Romana’s brain cells were in a battle of Troy, and unfortunately a lot of damage was caused, and lot of our dearly beloved cells were lost!

A lot of sweat was shed, making it impossible for sleep to come Romana’s way, resulting in a sleepless hot sticky ANGRY night! To try and reduce the effect, Romana tried a variety of ways to make her night passable, for starters, she tried the old fanning theory, but that only made matters worse, as she was fanning herself with hot air. She then simply lost control, went to the bathroom, and literally hosed herself down with warm water! And it worked, but not for long, because as soon as the water evaporated, she needed another fix! Maybe having a shower would cool things down, so she did. But that didn’t have the long-lasting effect she was hoping for!

Conclusion: Itwas hot, I had NO SLEEP, Blood-shot eyes from lack of sleep! ANGRY, I had to dress up in the dark looking forward to the refugee of my office’s AC, BUT THERE IS NO AC!!! THEY ARE INSTALLING A NEW ONE! WHY!!! WHAT DID I DO WRONG!!! IM A VERY VERY NICE GIRL!!!!!! BOTTOM LINE: I’M IN A NASTY MOOD TODAY! SOOOOOO FREAAKKIINNG NASTYYYY SO BEWARE OF THE ANGRY AND THE RESTLESS ROMANA!!! IM ON FIRE! PUN INTENDED!

Memos of eternal love!!!

2007-06-19T13:04:00.000+02:00

za3ma shin saar fihom li those 2 lovers?? 7 years later....??? this is just a sample of the declaration of love in uni, u'll find them on walls, on cement (how they carved them is completely beyond me!) on tables, on trees... they all want to show the world they're in love!

Lebeeya, i know how much you miss Shalfuta, this post is dedicated to you... we raised 3 cats, and each one of them eventually ran away,... i guess they want to find their own way!!!(no we didnot torture them!is throwing them from a two-storey house balcony considered torturing? lol) i dont know..but its sooo heart-breaking.. our latest cat, we called him Kabambam , 2nd day of il 3eed il s3'eera he disappeared... we thought he'd be back by the afternoon, but apparently some cat whisked him away!!! That evil cat steeling queen (thats what a female cat is called apparently, or so google says!) so new rule in the house : no cats allowed!

So everyone, i share with you *drum roll plzzz* the cheesiest, corniest, tackiest, cutest, silliest,( im running out of comparative -est, verbs! ) pics u'll ever see, i present to you,CAT! *audience claps, i bow, blowing kisses to my beloved fans* im getting carried away... hehehe let me live my moment of fame! lol

My wonderful Friday!

2007-06-18T08:16:00.000+02:00

Heeeeeeeeeyyyy..Goooood morning everybody... Dudes and Dudettes <--- we need a cool name too, lol. I had the most amaaazing Friday, u know when everything falls into place, and nothing screws it up? well that's how my Friday was spent... my day started at 11am, where my friend and i had pre-planned to go to Saraya for breakfast, amazingly they are open on Fridays before prayer time. Anyone who lives in Libya and is reading this, try the Strawberry Melba, YUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMM!!! Here are some pics to demonstrate the yumminess!

BEFORE , OBVIOUSLY! LOL

AFTER!! LOL

I can happily say that i consumed more than my share of calories for the day! but u think i stopped?! lol, i have a sweet tooth, and often than not i indulge my cravings... :P so bye-bye diet! hehehehe btw, u will notice in my future posts inshalla that IM ALWAYS on a diet! lol... its as if i was born with some sort of a mental chronic disease called "i have to lose weight!" lakin beeni o beenkom, i do! one of thecool thing Libyan ladies always tell me when i complain about my weight is the following phrase " la la 3adi mashi fik il 6ool" how spirit lifting eh?

Anyway i blabbed enough; let me finish telling u about my Funky Friday. After we had devoured the fresh strawberry ice-cream coated with whipped cream and covered with fresh strawberries, we decided to have lunch! ok, so that you wouldn’t think im some sort of hybrid between a human and an elephant, we did give our stomachs time for digestion! and we talked for like 2 hrs... so wipe that shocked look off ur faces plz!!! o ehhhh mashi fiya il 6ool!

Our next stop was the new place that opened in Ben 3ashour, the "Food Court", it was our first time there... it was fun... they had quite a lot of choices, "Popeys" "Sub Marine" "Amico" (although in Spanish its amigo, but whatever makes them happy!) and another one that hasn’t opened yet... i wanted Mexican so i had Chicken Casadias and roasted potatoes... it was a very healthy meal, i was actually amazed when i saw they had roasted the potatoes with herbs, not fried them... and since i dont drink fizzy drinks (they're bad for ur bones, i'll elaborate more on that) it was quite a healthy meal considering it was under the "fast food" category...

I paid for Combo, so i got the Pepsi... didn’t drink it though, so dont start thinking im contradicting myself here! And since there's no juice available in their beverage list except juice from the kids 'happy meal' lol, i had that! yes, my inner child was screaming with joy! lol
we ate, satisfied our cravings for carbs and proteins, so we thought, why don’t we take a walk 3ala il Korneesh? and we did.. it was a sunny afternoon with a hint of breeze, the place was men-free (not 100% bs not enough to cause discomfort), so we took a stroll...

deeru roo7kom mashoftoosh the dirty water!

Check the following! i didnot think people slept in parks here! but i have proooooof!!!

They're alive don’t worry! i know they look like still bodies laying on the ground, but that's what we all look like when we're asleep! the pics aren’t all that clear, but there's not much you can do when u're sneaking behind a palm tree, bending forward, a hand clutching the tree and the other the mobile, with the force of gravity pulling you to the ground all the while trying to steal a pic for my blog ! Now that's a sacrifice right there don’t u think? With all the risks involved, what if they woke up and asked me what the hell i was doing ha?? ha?? ha?? and then kidnapped me and tortured me to death, and me refusing to say a word to keep my secret identity safe??? see that speaks VOLUMES about my personality,(looooool) you have courage, you have loyalty, you have speed (cos i ran zay lobna il saree3a when i saw them waking up) !!! ok romana, wake up!!! I’ve been watching too many fiction movies and cartoons!!! ok, back to reality!!!

next step of the day...

Around 5 pm, we went home, decided to watch a movie... we chose "Bobby"... and i recommend it to anyone who wants to watch something with substance and get goose-bumps upon hearing Robert Kennedy’s speeches... during the movie, we paused, and we discussed something... why is it that all the great leaders, the ones who cause a tipping point, the ones who actually create hope for those who have long lost it, are always assassinated??? Dr. Martin Luther Kind, Malcolm X, Robert Kennedy, Ghandi...and so much more....doesn’t that tell you what a creepy creepy world we're living in, one that cant sustain goodness, humanity, evolution of a human's spirit and beliefs? its just plain sad and distressing.
Nevertheless, even though we chose to end our day with something to ponder on, it was one of the nicest days in 2007 bil nesba liya... hope i emitted some of the happiness i had to you through those words and pictures...

cheerzzz everyone....

And may you have splendid monday =)

Jeel il Sobaat!

2007-06-17T16:19:00.000+02:00

I was just reading Lebeeya's latest post, and i so relate to what she has written!
I am the eldest of 4, a brother and 2 sisters, in that order. My brother was always a shortie little thing, so cute, and i always was the one to take the calls and decide what to play, with what games and when, especially since the age difference isnt that vast... only 1 year and 7 months, but i towered,was always a tall kid (ironic dont u think?! ohh it isnot ironic yet! lol u have to finish the paragraph and u will know why its ironic! lol)... tab3an i was always afraid my dearly beloved brother wont grow more than he did...which was quite short for an average young man... well little did i know... he didnot just compensate on the growth, he can give tips and bonuses now! i wont scare u now and tell u he's a gigantic 3 meters tall freak, no, not to that extent, but he just GREEEEEEEEWWW! Mashalla mashalla mashalla , tawa na7'dah b3een walla 7aja! and the sudden growth entailed FEET growth as well!!! 45, he's only 19 and his shoe size is 45!!!

You know how veggies are so abnormal in our time, everything is twice, and trice larger than its original size, all due to greenhouses (they really feed those veggies, dont they?!)That’s what i think happened to my bro... he probably invested his pocket money in 7'emet sobaat, and went there instead of his football practice or his swimming... i always wondered why he had so much soil and mud on his feet! lool naaah just kidding,just screwing with ya...hmmmmmmmmm, *romana trying to think* but he did have mud and soil on his feet!!! *romana shocked at this realization!!!*
that's the only logical explanation i can present for nowadays growth epidemic!
care for a more reasonable explanation? plz, do share!

ps: im still tall, not as tall as my once-so-short-bro, lol, but 173 is good for a human being dont u think?! lol

My Hands on the steering wheel, wind blowing my hair from all the speed, enjoying the warmth of the sun on my skin... UUFFFF...*ring ring* stupid mobile, let me finish my fantassyy!!!

Since im interrupted, let me tell u the the real thing...hair never blows away from my face,it actually blows into my face, getting stuck to my lipgloss, if you find a girl struggling with her hair and her hands on the highway with her windows open, and extremely pissed off, then you know who you're looking at!now lets go to the warmth of the sun...its never enjoyable! its either HOT AND BURNING my skin, or a little bit cloudy... so all those TV ads with hot girls in cars, il sha3er tayyer, basma 3areeda showing her super white teeth... its all just a , well-directed short movie! I drive, and i drive a lot, so if u think that maybe i didnot try, i did.. it just NEVER works! everything we believe is media induced anyway, what made me think in the first place that i can live my own tv ad??

My very first blog! weeeeeeeeeeooow!

Helloooooooos to everyone and anyone who reads this, if u read this now, u r the 1st person to ever view my page! U HAVE WON ...emmm, emmm emmm, nothing?!?! hehee, see the trick, ha ha? lol
im silly i know...anyway, enough of the welcomes and hellooosss, i will spare u the boring details of my monotonous-fun-free-over-stressed-life! But so i would be fair, i will type in a brief preview: im 22, newly (not wed! its so funny how newly is always associated with wed, hmm, it makes me wonder when i will be, wed!!!) graduated, working (hey i forgot to change the bold font, lemmie press the button) ok now that is better!
where was i???, yea.. okie... although im bored 77.567 % of the time (thats not an accurate statistic, i just want to sound smart!!!), im generally content with the way my life is going...vooooom voooom za3ma shino il 7aja ili my life has for its means of transportation??? ohh and im libyan! i guess i gave myself away! lol
Although im killin time from 8 to 5 at work, i still haaaaave, how many hours?? 24 - 9 = (lemmie get the pc's calculator, my brain is so mathematically dead) 15 hrs, ! well around 7 go to the sleep department, so 15-7 = 8 ( calculator again dont be fooled!!!) 8 whole hours! and unfortunately living in Libya doesn’t give room to lots, boredom kinda conquers all the free time i have left!!! but i honestly honestly honestly, like swear to God, i try my best to fight back, books, movies, chit-chats with mom (i spend a lot of time with her and dad), watching Russel Peter's comic shows... hey i will drift shwaya from my point, but everyone whose eyes are with me now, means u have internet, means u can Youtube it (everything is a verb now, goole it, youtube it (my creation, plz all rights reserved law sama7tom)), means check Russell Peter, cos anyone with a decent sense of humour will definitely develop a six-pack from all the laughin!!!

anyway my new peeps, gotta go and pee, lol, been drinking water since 8, and its nearly 2 now.. so u can imagine the size of my bladder... or no no, dont imagine, not a lovely sight!

should i proof-read this? ooowwwww cant, no time, bathroom, pee, ooowwww
