I am not sure how new this novel is… what i know is it’s being sold in the big libraries in KSA… it’s about a woman named hind and the 3askar denotes the society keeping her oppressed or something.

Getting rude and disrespectful comments goes hand in hand with blogging. if anything it means that you are going in the right direction for you have triggered someone to attack you.

Apprently the [...]

What i love about the arrival of winter time in Q8 is the drive to the free trade zone… i would buy myself a yummy drink, go to where the flamingoes are, roll down the window and stare at them, listen to them chirp or tweet or whatever sound they make… I always fail to [...]

I have been decluttering lately when i dug into an old dusty box and found these! OMG! i remember how crazy we were about these when we were kids -and teenagers!- i remember going to from one Co-Op to another, looking at the little orange boxes sold in the kolaf store and trying to choose [...]

As i was waking in the Book Exhibition my eyes fell upon these little novels and i was instantly a 13 years old kid drooling over them. If you are a chicken nugget who grew up in the 90′s chances are you never heard of Takhtakh before. If however you grew up in the 70′s [...]

I have one sentence to describe that movie “Wa matha qe6ar el3omr”… I would have been happy to watch all those veteran action stars if there was an actual story worth watching… there is barely a story. Just a lot of shooting and bullets and bang boom and glittery names. Plus… my eyes hurt watching [...]

Remember my last post when i sought Vitamin D treatment in Q8? The day i recieved my test results i called almost all the pharmacies in Q8 searching for the Vitamin D Ampoules. They are brought in from Egypt very cheap by the way. None had them. One Pharmacy actually tricked me by saying they did [...]

Help! I am the biggest Salon Gobesa in Q8. If you follow me on twitter you may recall my epic tweets on getting highlights in a respectable well known salon in Q8 and how it went severely wrong. Now i am in desperate need of cutting my hair. Not just a trim, a good respectable [...]

As i opened my window and turned off my engine on a hot & suffocating summer night, waiting for the fuel station worked to bestow upon me his divided attention and fill my car tank with gasoline, i began to lose my patience. You see the man is over worked. There are a LOT of [...]

I am at work, i take my tooth brush and tooth paste and go to our bathroom, which sadly is shared between two departments, i squeeze a little paste on my dry brush and start brushing vigorously, looking around, trying to finish up fast before someone comes in… Why?

A year or 2 ago i began hearing women saying “Vitamin D and Vitamin D”… i thought what is wrong with women… kil yom habeen lohom habba… Vitamin D get in the sun o khalasna… especially inah No9 il q8yat imsaween tan… so why care about Vitamin D Deficiency? Read about the deficiency here… and then when [...]

Last night while we were in Caribou’s drive thru reading the menu…  this little fellow was reading the menu with us and jumped from one item to item b3d… we haven’t seen one in quite a long time! I think it’s this time of year again when they finally show up! Needless to say he [...]

There is a lovely store in Carnaby St., London, where a collection of amazing vintage fashion items are sold… You cannot deny the beauty of those items, nor the lovely shapes/colors/fabrics/designs, and the attention to detail is simply AMAZING… nothing like the mass produced clothing items we find every where now adays… Same thing in [...]

While browsing the shelves of our Co-Op i saw this Tang bag. I am not a fan of Tang at all but i thought it was strange to see a Pepper Shaker on the Front… i usually see fruits like mango strawberry… I pick up the bag wella it says ‘Lemon & Pepper’ EW Esta’3far [...]

1- If you don’t have to go out during the day… then DON’T. Period. Start  the outings an hour after the Sun has set. 2- If however, u have work/school/college to attend to… first invest in a good quality window film for your car. It is invisible, a bit expensive, but it protects your car [...]
