Gaza...Happy New Year

How shameful !!! For the fifth day Gaza is still under attack, a mercy-less attack,493 were killed and nearly 2000 wounded 200 of them in critical conditions, 40 kids are killed,8 women are killed..and still counting !!! and the killing silence is the response... how shameful indeed

Gaza suffers from a tremendous lack of medicals supplies,and when we talk about medical supplies this includes basic supplies !!! also a lack of ambulances and fuel and.....a lack of EVERYTHING !!! Civilians in Gaza are facing a real disaster,their lives are threatened each and every moment..their homes are no more safe,or probably their houses are demolished by Israel's frequent raids,there are no shelters,everywhere is now considered as a target.and the civilians are paying their lives for this war.

I am just sick of watching news channels broadcasting the atrocities in Gaza non stop,I am tired of seeing people protesting all over the arab world and world wide demanding peace and justice,I am sick of the Bla Bla Bla speeches that we see from time to time on the TV channels.The EU gathered in France to discuss the current situation in Gaza,meanwhile arabs were only preparing for a meeting "somewhere" "sometime",oh but I heard that there was a conference in Cairo,but till this time they've come up with NOTHING...as usual..and by the way I am not expecting anything but speeches and donations .. but history repeats itself

Tonight is the new year's eve, a very gloomy and quiet night,I can't even let myself enjoy doing anything,I can't stop thinking of girls who are the same age of me,living in constant horror at night,and don't have a proper roof over their heads,I can't help myself not to think of every single woman who lost her husband or her dad or her son... And how painful to see your life is getting ruined,and you're helplessly struggling to stay alive!! thank God SOME arabs decided to cancel all kind of celebrations and parties as a solidarity with Gaza..here is a glimpse of an article from TheJordanTimes newspaper:-

"AMMAN - Many New Year parties in Jordan have been cancelled over the past two days in a show of mourning as well as solidarity with people in the Gaza Strip. Hotels, cafés, restaurants, malls as well as Jordanian families advertised in newspapers announcing the cancellation of planned celebrations, voicing support for people in the enclave where more than 370 Palestinians have been killed and more than 1,700 wounded in continued Israeli bombardment since Saturday of the besieged coastal strip. The manager of two concerts featuring one Tunisian and three Lebanese artists said both celebrations were cancelled due to the tragic situation in the strip. One was supposed to have renowned Lebanese singers Melhem Barakat and Roula Saad at the Le Royal hotel in Amman. The concert was called off Monday before organisers decided to cancel another one at the Holiday Inn featuring Lebanese May Hariri and Tunisian Ahmad Sharif. "The hotel administration decided to cancel the party, then Barakat and Roula Saad agreed and asked for no compensation," organiser Elias Nehme told The Jordan Times yesterday. Hariri and Sharif's show was on till yesterday afternoon with the proceeds planned to go as aid for the war-stricken strip, he said, explaining that the final decision to cancel was taken later because "it's a shame to have a party while people [in Gaza] are dying" read more

Sorry Gaza,but this is only a little thing the arab nations can do to show some of their support to you..I wish we can do more,and I don't mean that we can't !!!! I wish 2009 will bring hopefully peace and hope to your people..May God Be With You All

This is a track by Yousef Kawar,called Gazzeh...all I can tell that this well-composed track is so true and sincere,I really got goose-bumps the min I listened to it....

Merry Christmas,Bouna Natale,أعياد مجيده

Merry Christmas y'all and happy holidays... I can only offer you one piece of advice..DO NOT STAY HOME !! I know it's freak'n cold outside,but do your best not to stay home !! except if you've invited too many people for lunch then it is better to have it home.. eat chocolates and sweets as much as you want,keep yourself busy and never try to think about anything but entertainment.

I love this year's decorations for christmas especially at HomeCenter it was cool !!Christmas trees are all over 'Amman's malls,stores and restaurants...,oh oh and this year my neighbour put a huge effort doing her christmas tree,and thankfully it is not over decorated !!I wanna have a tree too :( !! loool

P.S: a choir came to our neighbour's house and they started singing loudly "actually I didn't understand a single word" but the funny thing that our neighbour apparently were at the mass !! looool they missed the show...

Old Days...Good Laughs

Oh My God !!Last night I laughed for nearly one hour non stop,that I got really tears in my eyes.Don't ask me how or why did I remember those guys!! (by the way youtube is such a bless).anyhow I just wanna leave you with the first clip of the play "il salam ya salam" by the Jordanian trio Nabil Sawalha,Amal Dabbas,and Hisham Yanes. I truly love comedy shows or whatever you call them..umm comedy stand-up shows..aaah whatever !! I think they've stopped their shows long time ago,I wish they could do it for only one more time :(

It's not just about "immitating" presidents and kings or well-known figures..it is more like being sarcastic toward the pathetic political issues we face over here !! They were really good at delivering laughter to the audiance not only for the sake of "laughing" only,but also to highlight some former events that maybe the younger generation didn't witness... SIMPLY I love this kind of arts.

this is a clip of Nabil Sawalha "Pope John II" & Hisham Yanes "Yaseer Arafat"

and this is part one of "al salam ya salam" comedy show

Grumpy

Today,I am officially grumpy,I mean it..and here are the reasons *serial of events* :

1. I woke up this morning ,the weather is so so so cold..and I spent more than an hour dressing up
2. Today I have only two lectures,one of them was canceled 3 days ago due to the elections,and the other one we didn't have any idea about it until we arrived to the university today..
3. I was asked twice by the security for my ID,and couple of guys were helplessly trying to enter the university but the security didn't let them in
4. Everybody was busy,worried,afraid,stressed,and acting like james bond,oh and all on their cellphones talking and screaming
5. I tried to go to my lecture's hall but obviously there was NO lecture,because they used it for the election stuff..SO MY ONLY LONELY LECTURE IS CANCELED!! how lovely

6. I met my semi-frozen friend and we were REALLY angry,why don't they just tell us that there is no lectures..WHY ?!
7. We went down to the square "square il tejara" it was dreary and all were just acting fake..Fake..FAKE
8. I left the university by the main gate,and the same thing,guys were trying aimlessly and two police cars were near the gate,by the way one of them was Audi A6 !!
9. I didn't vote at all,and I don't regret it at all..I just wanna see what is gonna happen after they form the board...who knows I may change my attitude??
10. I was supposed to catch some sleep ,but I couldn't because I talked to my sister in the UAE for a long time on MSN
11. Has anyone noticed that today is Thursday?? and certainly I have no plans for this weekend.However,I really wanna go out somewhere..anywhere!! well except cafe's they are just as boring as staying home
12. Last night I watched Grey's Anatomy's finale (season 3) and I was sad because of what Burke did to Cristina,I mean she is a practical woman c'mon,and she is so dedicated to her job,and he knows that quiet well,I believe it was so "drama" what he did at the wedding..and leaving her was a mistake..a big fat mistake indeed
13. The weather is so cold..I wish it was raining instead of this windy day

انتخابات...انتخابات

بكرا بإذن الله انتخابات الجامعه الأردنيه..طبعا هاي أول مره رح أشوف فيها شو يعني انتخابات مجلس طلبه على مستوى جامعه,ومن بعد العيد انعجقت الجامعه و صور و بطاقات و دبكات و شعارات فتاكه صراحه إشي "بقشعر البدن" يعني بتحس رح تنقلب الجامعه و تصير جامعه خمس نجوم أو إنو مثلا يعني القدس رح تتحرر بكرا الصبح .... سيدي ما اختلفنا الله يقوي الشباب الطيبه

يلي عرفتو مؤخرا إنو ما بيصير أنتخب حد من خارج الكليه,طيب السؤال يلي بطرح نفسه كيف بالله بدي أعرف إنو هاد المرشح محترم و عندو مبادئ و رح يحسن الوضع؟؟؟ سؤال طرحته على أحد دكاترتي بالجامعه خلال "نقاش" داخل المحاضره عن الانتخابات , و إنو أنا المفروض روحت و سألت عن الشخص المرشح " إذا أنا مهتمه في الموضوع" طبعا لو أنا مش مهتمه كان ما كتيت عن هالشي, طيب سؤال يطرح نفسه مره ثانية أنا من بين خلينا نحكي فرضا 3 آلاف طالب معي بالكليه كيف بدي أعرف عن أفكار المرشحين؟؟؟ بقولك أحد الطلاب لأ في الطالب الفلان الفلاني حكى عن أفكاره... طيب متى كيف وين؟؟ برضو أنا اللازم أسأل و أهتم...... سؤال يطرح نفسه للمره الثالثه في حد عمره سمع بكلمة "تنظيم" ؟؟؟ أول شي لا في تنظيم في الشكل و لا في التحضير و الله أعلم بكره إذا رح يكون في نظام في الانتخابات أو لأ... انا كإنسانه بدي أنتخب مفروض الوضع يكون سهل عليّ مش العكس "هاد إذا جد بدكم انتخابات" أنا مش مضطره ألاحق بالمرشحين و اعوانهم مشان أعرف عن شو بفكروا..يمكن صعب تجمع كل البني أدمين في الكليه مشان تحكي معهم بس في أساليب و لا الشغله على الإسم و الأصل.. يعني القصد ممكن توزع أوراق بتحكي عن حملتك ممكن على لوحات الإعلان تنزل عليهم..و أفكار تانيه يمكن أبسط من هيك ممكن تساعد و تخلي الناس المش مهتمه تهتم . يعني متلي سنه أولى لسه ما عندي هل المعرفه الكتيره بالجامعه شو أعمل؟؟؟؟ غريبين نحنا فعلا

صراحه و للأسف ما عندي أي فكره عن أي مرشح و بالتاي ما رح أنتخب ولا حدا.. و هاي مشكلة التنظيم و المرشح و حملته و مش مشكلتي... ليش إنت أحسن من أوباما و ماكين؟؟؟ انبرى لسانهم و هم يحكوا و ما ضل إعلان و نزلوا و ما خلوا وسيله و عملوها مشا يوصلوا للشعب و وصلت الشغله للعالم كله !!! يعني مش معجزه الشغله بس ليش هالحكي صار... لأنه كان في تنظيم..هاد من وجهة نظري و رأي و اللي صار معي

طبعا ناس بتقولك داوم و ناس بتقولك ما تداوم و محاضرات ملغيه و محاضرات لأ.. و في ناس بتقولك ما تداوم و الله لتقوم القيامه في الحامعه و طوش و الشغله فيها دم .. و في بقولك إنو كله إشاعات و ما في منه هالحكي . .مني و علي رح أداوم بس مشان أشوف شو رح يصير و ما رح أنتخب و إن شاء الله خير

هاي اسمها دبكه للناس يلي ما بتعرفها

Athens Protests

This photo is from ABC news' website for more click here

Protests,strikes and violence are all over Greece due to the death of a young boy by a Greek police officer and also for the bad economic hardship they face and the government's scandals since a long time.

Alexandros Grigoropoulos a 15-16 year old who was shot in Athens after the boy had allegedly tried to throw a firebomb at a patrol car,whose death sparked the riots back on Saturday December 6 , the lawyer of the police officer says that the death of the young boy was accidental and he was never been considered as a target,the bullet ricocheted off something solid before killing the boy.However,two policemen has been sent to jail pending trail,one of them was charged for murder,and the other one was charged as an accomplice to murder.

You know what?? all these events and news I see everyday made me feel mad and annoyed,people of Greece protest against things they don't like,defend their own right,refuse the hard and bad economic situations..THEY SIMPLY SPEAK UP !! regardless the riots and violence,but they do express their minds,because they're humans,because they believe in themselves,because they know their rights.One kid got killed by the government and the whole country got mad and protest against this un acceptable murder.Here hundreds of our innocent children are living under horrible circumstances,with fear,hunger,lack of water,lack of vaccines,lack of resources,or silently die....the unbearbale rising of prices,gas prices are the only thing that became lower,but nthn else did !! working two or three jobs these days won't help to improve your financial situations (that's if u could find jobs) ...and all of us are standing still,watching and commenting,that's it !! and that's how we are gonna be for ever...too lame.

Happy Eid folks !!

Happy Eid to you all..may this eid grants you all happiness..try to enjoy your Eid as much as possible (I know most of us have got exams) try to seek joy during this eid :)

That day I saw this cartoon of eid done by Osama Hajjaj.and Oh my god I really felt so bad for the sheep ...I love to eat meat,but after this incident..I don't think I will be able to taste it FOR A WHILE :P but I love Osama Hajja's works..

Enjoy you eid to the max...eat Ma'moul and Meat till you drop..watch tv..sleep.. play with you neighbours (wlad il 7ara) with beads guns :) make phonecalls..go out with you family..DO ANYTHING JUST TO FEEL EID FOR GOD'S SAKE !!!

I will leave you now with a very very very old and popular song,I woke up today and this song has been on mind since morning,I can't stop singing it loudly..searched on youtube and when I found it I couldn't help myslef...It brought me back to a very nice period of time when I was a kido :)
