To diet or not to diet

Is the ultimate question for every girl!

I hate dieting, I really hate it. I never tried it actually, I can’t imagine myself preparing low fat meals everyday, I dont even know how to cook!

As Two and Three know, I’m an unemployed lazy 24 years old lady who does nth in life but going to Uni, going out, eating, drinking lots and lots of soda and sleeping. Oh God, this is the best environment for anyone to gain weight in no time. I hate to do any kind of sports, you can hardly walk in our streets, and I love food; meat in specific, and I can never get used to the diet soda’s taste. This is the dilemma I’m facing right now for the first time in my life . I never thought that a day will come when I will need to do sth to lose weight.

Help! anyone?

Perfect vs. Human

The thing about hangovers is that not only alcohol causes them but anything in excessive amounts does. I’m suffering from a mental hangover, been thinking a lot recently,  about everything.
A lot of people strive to appear perfect, we all know that the state of perfection cannot be reached by humans but a lot of people try to look perfect. I hate rude careless irresponsible people who say and do things without giving either any prior thought, I can bear having to talk to them for a while because I believe that, even though they get on my nerves big time and even though talking to some of them can be degrading, they are harmless. What  I cannot bear at all are people who think a lot about things and plan every single word they utter beforehand, I just can’t deal with similar people. Those who live by a handbook are almost never real or sincere, they gather a couple of principles that look appealing while applied by others and try to apply them to real life situations, they mostly fail or fail to be convincing.  The reason behind that is mostly fear and no self esteem or confidence, People who feel that they can never be good enough while being themselves, people who feel that they need to look perfect so as to make others like them,  people who believe that they need to be cheerful, happy and funny 24/7, people who keep going on and on about how confident they are, people who end up lonely and friendless, stupid people.

Striving to become a better person is good, suffocating the real you to save yourself the embarrassments you could cause yourself is bad and pathetic.
I love a lot of people, non of them is perfect, if I wanted perfect and planned reactions, words or actions I would’ve befriended a dictionary, but that is not what I want. I’m imperfect, just like everyone out there, I have very bad and annoying habits and traits, but the bad comes with the good, the beautiful with the ugly, if we were to focus on everything that is bad about people we’d end up being  a bunch of lonely cave-people, but we were all born imperfect just like each other, we put up with each other’s bad traits because we love the good ones so very dearly, and with time, what we thought were bad traits become things we cannot live without, things we wouldn’t trade for the whole world.

I’d choose a stupid mansaf-eating, soda –drinking faisali-cheering human over perfect anytime of the day.

The Truth, Anyone?

An electronic Saudi newspaper that states that the “scary snake-looking baby” is a real baby whose mother was a drug addict, that the baby is “deformed” because of the mother’s addiction, and that in fact this incident took place in KSA and not Lebanon!

A Doctor says that the baby suffers from a case of ichthyosis fetalis, a rare disease only 100 babies around the world were diagnosed with.

The video is uploaded on Youtube and titled as : Happening in Al Amal hospital, Amman -Jordan. The same video is uploaded on a very popular Jordanian forum, with the video, a disclaimer stating this incident took place in Al Basheer hospital was posted.

This is becoming really confusing, I still insist that what the nurses did was horrible, whether it took place in KSA, Lebanon or Jordan. I just hope it didn’t in fact take place in Jordan, even if the nurses were Jordanian. How can figuring out where this had happened be this hard and confusing, ugh.

Mohammed Hassanein Haikal

Brought to you by One

I was watching this man’s show; Mohammed Hassanein Haikal, on al Jazeera TV just now, I read some articles for him before and I watched a couple of interviews with him. I always knew he is an intelligent arab journalist; but never thought that he is that interesting.

Im not so much into politics but I found myself watching him now, he has a great way in gaining the listeners’ attention, and the most incredible thing about him is that he is over 80! This guy has brains in his head more than I ever did, and more than anyone I know does. His show is a weekly show I guess, every thursday 10pm our time, I strongly recomend watching it.

Painful Video of Nurses abusing their positions

I am disgusted, angry and ashamed. I have no idea where to start, should I start by stating the facts? Posting the video? Or voicing my opinion and request?

People have been talking about a video of a baby girl who was born in a Hospital in Amman – Jordan a while ago. I only saw this video today, it is the most horrible thing I have ever seen in my whole life, it left me speechless, but I feel obliged to share this with you, and so I’m typing this.  

The following is a video of a baby girl who was born with ichthyosis fetalis, a fatal disease 100 kids around the world were diagnosed with.

Disclaimer: Please refrain from watching this if you suffer from health issues or you have a weak heart.

Video

The little baby girl isn’t what is horrible about the video, on the contrary, and regardless of her disease, she looked so angel-like, so weak and helpless. What is horrible about the video are the nurses, who shot the video, and their sick comments. The video shows a nurse holding the baby girl and another nurse checking her out and making sick, savage and disgusting comments, the ****ing nurses even took her diaper off to take a shot of her private areas. :s

The following is what one of the nurses had to say:

“Rajol 2ali!” = “ Robot” Followed by a loud laugh.

“Sawreeha haik, hay soura shakhsiyyeh” =  “A self portrait” Again, followed by a loud laugh.

In no time, the baby girl passed away.

I didn’t know whether I should share the video or not, for the late baby girl’s sake, and for her parents sake, it took me a while to decide that I will post it. Those nurses; Asma and Shifa’a should be taken to court, Al Basheer Hospital should be sued and everybody who works there should rot in prison.

I’m still feeling speechless, I’m not able to express myself for the first time in my life, the video left me in a state of shock, can anybody be this heartless and evil? Ya rabbiiiiii… This shouldn’t go unpunished, it can’t! I will do everything I can to make sure the people in charge, whoever they are, know of this, and so should everyone who reads this, please!

Asma and Shifa’a:

Where are Angels One and Two?

As usual, brought to you by Three

This blog had been deserted for a while now, so I took it upon myself to post as many entries as I can since the other two angels are busy right now, as for why they’re busy, well:

Angel number one:
Is busy thinking about life.

Angel number two:
Is busy whining about life.

Angel number three:

That would be me. My sister had a baby a week ago and she, her husband and the new baby will be staying at our house for the next month because , well, because my parents say so
I’m taking two courses this summer, and just this morning our house maids ran away -for the second time-, this time they carried a couple of things with them on their journey (Long story short, we found out that they have been stealing, and one of them had an Iraqi boyfriend, the other one had many Egyption boyfriends, the details are yucky, so anyway they ran away, came back the same day, apologized to my parents, cried and asked us to take them back, of course we did, so today they ran away again, I guess they came back because they couldn’t carry everything with them the first time )
My best friend will be arriving from Dubai this week, my other friend, who also happens to be a relative, has been staying over at our house since summer began.
My auntie came to Jordan for the summer two weeks ago accompanied with her husband and two kids.
My other Auntie came from Irbid and you guessed it, she’s staying at our place.
Another Auntie of mine (I have a lot of Aunties!) Came from Lebanon and will be spending the summer here.
To top everything off, I broke a nail today And in the middle of all the above chaos, I’m trying to preserve my social life, which doesn’t look very promising right now, nobody likes a person who has ugly nails.

But what are the above compared to One and Twos’ busy lives!

One and Two, get your lazy %^&$%^& here and post something on this blog or you’ll be replaced before you even realize that this blog is still up and running.

Lets Have a Baby!

 

 

 

 Brought to you by Three

When a new couple gets married people shower them with questions all day long; is SHE pregnant yet? Are YOU pregnant yet? Until the female gets pregnant, and then they switch to: Boy or girl?! And when she reaches her fifth month and the gender of the baby is known the question becomes : Did you choose a name yet? If the answer was no, usually people make the same lame joke, assuming that the person talking is called X, this is how the conversation would go:

X: Any name in mind?
Parents: Not really
X: You should call him/her X, he/she’ll inherit my (Fill in the blank with a good feature, please exclude sense of humor).

Ha-Ha, how original!

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a carriage.

This is how it should always be, if you skip a step, or if you don’t rush into the next one then something’s terribly wrong with you.
Do people just assume that I want to have kids? I’m not saying that I don’t want to have kids, but it’s just that I can’t stand the thought of having my life pictured for me before I get a chance to realize what I really want, do I have to start picturing my wedding at the age of eight while playing with barbies just because this is the usual path people take?

Does a husband just assume that his wife won’t be able to wait until she carries his baby for nine months? Would he just assume that she will be willing to leave her goals, ambitions and dreams, place them aside and busy herself with baby-shopping? Or that she’ll be willing to dress like a tent for nine months? Perhaps he’ll assume that she’ll be eager to have her feet swollen, that she’ll sleep every night with the hope that she’ll wake up with a morning nausea? We’ll be carrying the baby for nine months, we’ll have to put up with all the back pains, the swollen feet, the nausea and the weight gain, and eventually we’ll breast feed the baby for months, not the father, not the mother in law and surely not our curious neighbours. Those people owe us to at least ask us if we want to have a baby, if we’re physically and emotionally ready for that, getting married does not mean that we want to have kids, or that we’re ready.

What? Do they get to take that decision on our behalf? Or does it come with the “advantage” of being someone’s wife?

This is the exact reason why most children do not get raised properly,  this is why a huge number of kids are physically and emotionally abused by their parents, and this is of course the reason why a huge number of kids are neglected. Most people are eager to have kids because that is what they believe they should do, because it’s the “norm”, they just do it, ignorantly and without thinking, people do it, we should too.

If you think it is “Haram” not to have kids, you should think twice, it’s “haram” + inhuman + savage + heartless + stupid to have kids you won’t be able to support, both financially and emotionally.

The thought of having my child ask me a question I do not know the answer to freaks me out, the thought of my child being ill and me not being able to take his pain away is disheartening, when and if I decide to have kids, I want to make sure that I’ll be everything those weak, lovely, innocent, saintly creatures would need, the doctor, the mother, the friend, the teacher and even the plumber, I need to make sure that I wouldn’t be doing them injustice by bringing them to this life and not being able to take care of them.

The second you become a parent, you’re a parent for life, you can’t divorce your kids, and you can’t go back in time, you take years to think a relationship through and it takes you a decade to decide whether you should order regular soda or diet soda with your meal, take a couple of hours out of your very fruitful and busy life to think this through, if you can’t do it (Most males would be thinking to themselves right now: Eh, what the hell is she talking about! Of course I can do it! Is she questioning my sperm?) So ANYWAY, if you can’t do “the parenting thing” then don’t have kids, you’ll do yourself, your kids and society a huge, huge, huuuuuuuge favor.

Mabrouk Jordan!

After almost seven months of voting, international and local campaigns , songs and ads 07/07/07 finally came, and with it came the declaration of the new seven wonders. To tell you the truth, I so wanted Petra to win, I did, with all of my heart, we kept voting all throughout the past couple of months, I witnessed the enthusiasm of the Jordanian people, the huge campaigns, but I still had my doubts. Around thirty minutes ago I was probably the proudest person on earth, Hillary Swank asked two kids from the S.O.S organization to declare the winner of the second place; Petra of Jordan. The reaction of our minister of tourism Mr Al Dabbas -our representative in Lesbon-  was so spontaneous, natural, real and touching, his eyes glowed with happiness and pride, the sight of Petra on the screen with the word “Mabrouk” typed up with the same font the Jordanian TV has been using for the past century and people waving the Jordanian flag gave me Goosebumps, unlike the sight of the representatives of China who were up on the stage seconds before our minister, they looked angry and scary! LOL!
Mabrouk ya Ordon!
This day can’t get any better, unless of course our  football team wins the match against Spain that is currently taking place *Fingers Crossed*.
