BEWARE! Bloggin is Not Safe! (7asbe Allah Wa Ne3m Alwakeel)

I have left the blogsphere for what seemed like a very long time since I was a usual blogger. The reasons were a mixture of work, being busy in life and that the Saudi blogging scene started to seem to me boring and worse and worse while time goes. It was noticed by the kind of posts and the kind of comments. Harassments on blogs and bloggers were just stupid.

I wished I had my identity anonymous, it is not.. But as time go by.. People started knowing me. And bloggers met up and it's not as anonymous as people think, even when were using screen names.

When i came back however -KUZ I LIKE TO WRITE AND I DONT VENT TO MY FRIENDS!- i had problems with getting a good layout.. still looking for one btw. But, i was introduced to a new set of ARABIC BLOGS and no, not the boring old ones, real nice blogs that i got addicted on reading! One was Mashe 9a7 and another was Fouad al Farhan and a couple more

As some of you might know by now, Fouad is now in jail for blogging. IN JAIL!! Jailed for having a point of view, jailed for gathring a bunch of banners for other bloggers to use, for some people who were jailed and he thought were innocent!!!

I pray for him to go back to his family safe and sound, I pray for all the terrorists to bomb themselves in their hideouts and let us live in peace and I pray for the government to give us a lil bit of freedom to speak our opinions! Even if it's just on the internet.

All of This reminds of when Farah (farahs sawaleef blog owner) deleted her blog. People told me that she was actually threatened the same way as Fouad was. And that they got to her father. I never talked to her about this before, kuz I thought it was just a myth. Now I am not so sure!

Let the Laziness Begin!

yeah, i'm gonna stay at home :D i deserve it after all this hard work.
my mind is set.
i just hope i dont miss my job,

Say Hello to the New Mrs ;)

So.. i'm a woman now? hehe, does that even make sense.. does getting married mean you've converted from (girl) to (woman)? so if u've never wed and ur 40 years of age, ur still a (girl)?? mmm.. interesting how living in saudi arabia effect on my way of thinking =P

okay, i cant believe i'm actually thinking this, but i want a boy.. i want to have 3 boys, and that's it. when i reach 45 years old. i get pregnant again and get a lil girl the we all spoil rotten! yeah i know it's so weird how one day i'm thinking i dont wana have kids, next day thinking about names !!there's a story behind everything with me.. so here goes;

i met this extraordinary woman in thailand this year, she's moms age. but she's so lively.. she works in the same teaching sector as mama. she has a successful engineer husband (ahem, dad!), and BAM they graduated from the same state uni that my parents graduated from, just a couple of years later!! how bazar is that!

this woman was so intelligent and had her own thoughts.. it was surprising to me as i always thought these women who were involved in the teaching sector were close-minded women who dont think for themselves.. (mom and her friends effected that way of thinking sadly) i met the woman in a shopping mall in bangkok.. we shopped together!!!! mom never told me this would look nice on me, what to get and what not! sheesh!! i think i got issues!! hehe..

we then met with her hubby, who was nice enough to walk around the mall with us and sit in each shop waiting for us to finish :P and her 3 boys (yeah u got me, i want to be something like her!) she was successful and interesting and fun and had her on head with her own thoughts!!!

my mom is pretty open minded and intellectual and well touted. but once she hit home, she started to become a copy of every middle aged woman in saudi.. she started copying wht her peers do and think. and i'm kinda embarrassed i'm saying this. i actually told her the other day, mom please when with anyone, talk about ur views on the community.. ur dreams, ur past and future.. ur thoughts on life.. dont just sit around talking about wht ur bros and sisters do in life (jobs), or asking question like who are u married to, who's ur uncles and how many kids do u have!! makes u sound STUPID when it's all u can think of in a convo..

can u tell i'm mad at her? it seems like i always am!

when my friends say their moms their friend, i used to wonder whats wrong with me!!! now i know it's whats wrong with momzy.. no wonder i got issues, *rolling eyes*

Why Would You Think I'd Change?

It's interesting how people think ur gonna change drastically just because ur moving to a new city, ur starting a new job, u've met other people or.. You're getting married.

i'll still go to the same place i work at everyday, i'll complain about the same systems and long work hrs. i'll curse the transportation system, i'll have my daily junk food lunches and wonder when will i start eating healthy. i'll still listen to my Ipod, go all the way to the supermarket just to get olives and cheese.. i'll still enjoy drinking Lipton's Ice Tea.. Getting together doing random stuff with my friends on Wednesdays, sleeping on the couch in front of TV watching my fav sitcoms..

why would mom ask me to go with her to her med aged cousins weekly gathering!! Oh yeah, so it's 3eed! They still need to get something in common with me for me to hang around them..

Fo0f's Having Second Thoughts

you were nice, looked okay. had a good future, a nice view of where u gonna be. came from a good family, and had great sisters.

i met with u and u were.. sweet for a first meet.

i liked, and i thought, well Fo0f, it's time. there's no reason to say no. so i said yes :)

now, while things show more and more clearer, i realised. all the things i thought i didnt like are showing, i don't think they are enough reasons, but still. i cant help it. i can't sleep at night. and when i do sleep, i get nightmares! i wake up frightened! is that right?

i am so torn in the middle, between what people think, and wht he thinks, and wht my parents think.. yeah, no one even asked what i thought. i know one thing. Mr T is so happy i'm leaving.

what's happening. i dont know. what will happen? it wont be long and i'll know everything.

Happy happy :D

i got accepted!! total euphoria!!
yeah well, i kinda am happy not just because i got accepted. because i did after i throw the acceptence in thier faces and thinkin i was better than that.. then, realising i should take that offer that i always wanted :S but after the deadline passed!!

i didnt know my uncles in jeddah would be helpful. but i gotta admit, i luv uncle 9agar and wont forget his help! alsoo euphoria ;) luv u girl =X

to be totally honest; i am also happy kuz i'm watchin my fav show, numb3rs :D

The Kingdom

i been wondering why this movie didn't come out on April as promised. lol, they even changed the poster. this is something Hollywood should've done a long time ago, bring a reliable person as a consultant on the Arabs/Saudis.

i didn't see the movie yet (obviously) but now, i'm actually more interested to see it.

So.. The foof is back.. (we know already, get over it! :S) Random post

i cant believe i left this place, this was my safe spot! My so called haven. so yeah, i'm so dumping facebook *hmmmf*

i was really bummed today when i discovered i missed juventus second game back in seria A. Our ART subscription sucks! i heard Jazirah sport cost about 30 riyals a year? i bet Riyad has it *resentful of the idea of tv we need to pay for!*

so yeah, the game had 3 penalties against juve which is soo unheard of, and yet, they won! i cant believe how anyone can downgrade the best soccer team in the world. YES I SAID IN THE WORLD.

so nxt game is on 23rd. by that time i'd probably already forgot :P and i might miss it (yeah, right). i'm so into the italian league again. i so hope this aint the last season for del piero and buffon.. that might actually hurt me :(

today i'm being challenged on this dawre yabani game on PS2 which i always resented. you think i'm gonna win?? i'm playing Brazil that tells you i'm desperate to win, i usually choose Italia or saudia ;)

my new layout is in Itachi's hands, but since his new layout aint that kewl =P i guess this will do for a looong time.. dont get me wrong, i'm still searching for a "phunky" one ;)

you cant believe how much i'm enjoying browsing new blogs.. it's like i just started bloggin :D

oh yeah, we got DSL at last!! Now that's great news or wht ;) please do tell if u know of a website which broadcasts italian league football games.

Bleh.

Bleh..

This blog has come and gone, went on and off, seen happy times and not so happy times, met through ppl and got to know ppl, whom both i hate, luv, adore, respect and resent.. i NEVER thought blogging would have had an effect on my life. After all. I started blogging as a way to vent :)

As i come back today, after a long breakup with my blog, to complain, i realise i owed my blog too much. i wouldnt have become who i am without it. being good or bad, is not up to me to decided, but i know this much, i like myself much much more now. i've really learned.

so yesterday was crappy, yeah thats all i'm gonna say for the time being. blogging aint safe anymore, and ya'll know wht i mean..

Again, bleh.

New Type of Terrorism.. Hey, I'm Just Quoting Here ;)

They already did that before to my old TaurusChic blog! What can I say; at least they're keeping themselves busy.

Mixed feeling I got when I saw "Oil Cell" members on TV talk about how they wanted to blast the oil fields city of Ebqiq in Eastern province. I am happy they got caught. But it is scary how they already got busy schedules with lotsa activities.

I had a male relative who used to think that Al Qaida was actually doing Muslims a favor, and making "us" "powerful" and "respected", and this way "amreeka" –USA- will "fear us".
After a close relative died in al washam bombing 2 years ago, he stopped thinking that way.

7asbe allah 3alihom, allah yj3al 7eelhom beenhom.

When I was in school, one of my friend's cell phone was damaged and when she took it to be fixed, they gave her a temp phone to use. This phone had a recording of an above 18 girl to guy convo. She let me and another friend hear it, the other friend told her to tell the girls she actually recorded that to a girl who was not good with her, I asked wth should she claim to that, and she replied to make the girls scared of you, therefore, respect you!!!!

That ass. Her lies got her to lotsa trouble.
