Materazzi, Again!

2006-12-19T23:38:00.000+03:00

Yesterday I was watching TV, it was late and I was going to bed when I saw this on MBC. It was this sport program "sada almala3ib", and they had some news on the famous incident occured in the 2006 world cup final match, Zidane's head-butt!

Mustafa Ala3'a, the show presenter was saying that Marco Materazzi is about to publish a book with all details happend between him and Zidane which resulted in the famous accident. He will write in detail and in exact words what went between him and Zidane. The book contains around 148 vulgar words and it will be translated to 4 languages.

Now the most important part is, Mr. Materazzi decided that all revenues from this book will be given to the UNISEF!

IS THAT POSSIBLE?! selling a book which is full of shamful swearing then giving the money to a charity?!!!

here are the pictures which I ENJOY looking at;

Zizou, Nous amour vous

PS. I love Fishy 8<

Please tell me it's a joke!!!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read it in the newspaper. 80 RATS were found on a Saudi airline plane going from Riyadh to Tabuk! apparently they were in one of the passengers BAGS!!! lool I saw snakes on a plane 2 weeks ago and when I read the article, I immediately remembered the movie!! I mean HOW ON EARTH did that bag pass in the first place?! can you imagine urself sitting on the plan and suddenyl! a huge rat comes and jumps on your face! lool wallah this is bad! so if we list "some" of the items which make us "adore" our Saudia airlines, it would be because;

-Your flight can be delayed and cancelled without any further notice!
-Our flight attendants are too busy, this is why they are RUDE all the time, you SHOULDNT bother yourself and ask for anything from them, they will simply, ignore you!
-Your seat can be taken by another passenger, when you arrive late to the airport and you find that you can't print your boarding pass, say good bye to your flight!
-In Ramadan or Hajj days, don't dream of travelling domestically with Saudia, save your time and energy and travel directly by your car!

na3taz be 5edmatikom - crap!

Randomationz!

2006-12-15T18:23:00.000+03:00

-As some of you already know, I had a crappy weekend..thanks to my beloved headache, I couldn't leave home. I went for 15 minutes to have dinner with the guys on Thursday then I had to go home again. The problem is that no matter how many panadol tablets I take, the pain remains! However, I'm much better today..7amdella :p

-Today, the "overrated" LBC program star academy starts for the 4th year. It's the time for the Lebanese channel to make millions of dollars..rezg alhobol 3ala almajaneen!

-My friends are going to Egypt in the Hajj holiday, I'm still thinking whether to go or not. Personally I don't like Egypt although the guys promised it will be fun..we'll see what happens :)

Ruby is in Town!

2006-11-28T14:19:00.000+03:00

I got a dinner invitation from my friend to their new resturant openning in Al-Andalus Street in Jeddah. Ruby Tuesday is a franchise American resturant. Main competitors are Chilis and T.G.I Fridays.

Ambience was good, reception was nice and the food was yummy, specially the starters. The thing is, within this category, dishes are almost the same. It's more of the brand name and your brand loyalty. I'm not a Chilis fan although they serve great food..maybe because in the weekends you need to line up for an hour to get a table! T.G.I is good but I don't like the service. I had a good first impression with Ruby Tuesday, hope it lasts!

I would give Ruby a 9 out of 10!

ياجماعة الخير...ممكن دقيقة؟؟؟

2006-10-23T01:18:00.000+03:00

I'm writing this post in Arabic, so he/she can get whatever i'm gonna say.

لاحظت اليوم و خلال تصفحي لبعض المدونات السعودية اختراق مدونة لأختنا فوف

شخصياً لا أعرف من وراء الاختراق و ان كنت اتمنى ان كان يستطيع قراءة موضوعي هذا. الكل يعرف أن الانترنت ساحة واسعة لطرح جميع الآراء..صحيحها و باطلها..حلالها و حرامها...وسواء كانت هذه الآراء في صالح المجتمع فتكون آراء بناءة أو تكون ضد بناء المجتمع فتعد من الآراء الهدامة...

من خلال قراءتي لما كتب في مدونة فوف من قبل المخترق الذي دعا نفسه 020 لاحظت انه حدد لنفسه هدفاً باغلاق عدد من المواقع الخاصة ببعض المغنيين و المطربين..

اخي المسلم 020..انا شاب مسلم من المملكة العربية السعودية و اتمنى ان تمنحني خمسة دقائق من وقتك لقراءة ماكتبت..

اولاً: انا من المتابعين لموقع الاخت فوف لمدة تزيد عن العام على ماأذكر..و لم اصادف ان قرات شيئاً يغضب الله أو اساءة لديننا أو لعقيدتنا..

ثانياً: قد سبق للأخت فوف أن هاجمت الكثير من المدونين ممن يسيئون الى الاسلام و قد كانت من السباقين الى الدفاع عن دينها فجزاها الله خير الجزاء.

ثالثاً: الا توافقني أخي العزيز بأن اختراقك لموقع هذه الفتاة المسلمة الغيورة على دينها، فيه شئ من الاجحاف و الظلم؟ يقول الله تعالى في محكم تنزيله: (ان بعض الظن ائم) فقد ظننت باختراقك ان موقعها حقير و مسئ للآداب، هل قرأت ماكتبت ياأخي حتى تظن بها هذا الظن السئ؟

رابعاً: لماذا هي دون غيرها؟ صدقني بأنه يوجد العديد..العشرات من المدونين الذين يستحقون من فعلته ليست فوف!!

خامساً: اذا كان هدفك اغلاق المواقع الفاسدة لقطع الطريق على اصحابها و قطع دابر الشر، فأنا مستعد لتزويدك بعدد من المواقع الفاسده فكراً و مضموناً..

أتمنى من الله العلي القدير أن ينصر المسلمين و المسلمات و المؤمنين و المؤمنات في كل مكان و زمان..

هذا بريدي الخاص ياأخي المحارب الاسلامي و كما أشرت فأنا ممستعد لتزويدك بمن يستخدمون أقلامهم كمعاول هدم..فلنستفد من قدراتك و معرفتك في الطريق الصحيح..

The Radio People!

2006-10-18T10:50:00.000+03:00

I was going to work today and I left home a bit early as I needed to send an urgent email.

I turned on the radio to Panorama FM, and I was so pissed off at these people who has nothing to do in life but to answer silly questions! to actually bother to SMS and call at 8 am in the morning!! in a RAMADAN morning!! Saudi people (and I'm saying Saudi coz we all know that none of us sleep before 5 am)!! In fact, WHY would they listen to the radio while their home? I mean there are TVs everywhere..now we got TV in our mobile phones!!!

Yesterday night I was listening to MBC FM, they had this discussion on polygamy, lol there was this Saudi woman who said, I'm against polygamy! in fact, all guys who do this are 5laeejis..and at the end she said that she wants men to help their wives in house work (cleaning the house, laundry, cooking..etc). I know many of you girls will go like YEAH AND WHATS WRONG WITH THAT!! WHY DONT MEN HELP THEIR POOR WIVES BLAH BLAH BLAH...

Let me tell you something..we are NOT all the same, there are men who cant find time to PEE! nevertheless, cooking!! in normal days I go to work at 9 am and I come back at 7 pm!! sometimes I stay late up to 9 pm!! YASATIR :@

P.S. radio ppl, get a life!

Modern Thobs?!

2006-09-29T03:19:00.000+03:00

I was driving in prince abdullah's road yesterday when I saw one of the most famous thoub shops in Jeddah, lomar. I usually deal with another shop in Sari street but I thought I should try lomar this time.

It was my first visit to the place and to be honest, i was amazed. The ambience was nice, creative decoration and the shop was busy!! I selected two designs although i liked more..I thought I should try these two first..they told me your thoubs will be ready by the 25th of ramadan!! lol you can imagine how busy are these guys :P

Check out their site, lot of good stuff in there!

Cutie, this is one of the designs I chose! the other one is just normal :)

Simply WOW!

2006-09-19T00:14:00.000+03:00

Guys check that out.. I just got this by email today..AMAZING!

Some new business ideas are admittedly over the top. Here's one we couldn't resist – Dinner in the Sky.

Belgian Dinner in the Sky offers event organizers a new way to make their event highly memorable: a table, with 22 seated guests, is suspended from a crane. The specially built table is surrounded by chairs of the type usually found on roller coasters, with four-point seat belts. Hoisted 50 meters (164 feet) above ground, safety is a reasonable concern.

Safely buckled up and floating mid-air, guests can enjoy a meal or meeting, with three chefs, waiters, presenters and/or entertainers standing in an open area in the centre of the table. One of the company's first events (pictured above) was a dinner for 22 chefs, hosted by San Pellegrino.

Table, crane, logistic and security staff are available for EUR 7900 for an eight hour session, which can be organized anywhere a large crane can be placed.

Selling a thrilling edge and aerial view, this could be the next big thing for Sweet Sixteen parties and corporate brainstorming session. One for the events industry to look into! Just don't look down...

That is something!! hehe

I'm Back :D

2006-09-11T02:22:00.000+03:00

Okay guys, I'm finally BACK from both vacation and my earlier decision regarding blogging.

I started work on Saturday 9th. I came to the office early as I couldn't sleep proeprly in the night. As some of you already know, a HUGE file of pending work was waiting for me on my desk. The funny thing is that there was a note from my boss on the cover (can you imagine that?? they even put a COVER to the file LOL) as follows: WELCOME BACK, PLS START WARMING UP BY READING THIS FILE) signed by his name :P

My vacation was nice. I went with my friends, Rami & Mohammad. We went to Paris for 4 nights then we spent the rest of our trip in Dubai.

I've been to Dubai before for business but this was my first trip as a holiday. The city is nice, developing (ALWAYS DEVELOPING NO MATTER WHEN YOU WILL VISIT IT) and busy. Malls are WOW compared to our malls in Jeddah. However, the weather was really HOT and humid. Personally, I wont enjoy swimming in such weather. My two friends were having a blast in the swimming pool..pervs lol

In Paris, Mohammed wanted to go to the "usual tourist places" coz he never been there..so we went to Eiffel tower, the Champs-Elysées and other places.

P.S. I hope u guys saw what Thierry did to ITALY in our last match!!!!

2006-07-31T11:29:00.000+03:00

They loved each other..They were close to each other..They used to know about each others daily life..

As he got busy with his own life..and so was she..the distance between them has expanded..

In one night, where they were talking..he was shocked. He felt that he was talking to another person. Can this be true? Yes she is the same person..but to him, she was different..

He thought that he had an influence on her..and her life..a good one.He was shocked again..

He went home..sad and surprised..

She has changed..

Qana..Again

2006-07-30T12:12:00.000+03:00

The Engagement- ahmed & rima

2006-07-12T17:54:00.000+03:00

Finally, the night had arrived and of all the things that could go wrong, she is late!!! Swearing Ahmed ran his fingers through his hair and for the hundredth time looked at his watch, 11:30pm. Sweet Anger walked into the kitchen, saw Ahmed check his watch again and placed the glasses next to the sink.
Sweet Anger: Time won't move faster if you keep looking at your watch you know.
He turned to look at her, she was wearing a strapless pale gold dress, delicately embroidered with a deeper colored gold, the hem just above her knees, with high heeled sandals of the same color. Her hair pulled back slightly with soft curls falling over her back and shoulders, her eyes accented by hints of brown and gold, her lips a simple bronzed gloss

Sweet: So Ahmed, any idea where your fiancé is?
Ahmed: I have no idea Ash, she should have been here hours ago. I don't know whats taking her so long.
Fo0f walks in, wearing a slinky long black backless dress.
Fo0f: Are we relocating the party to the kitchen now??
Sweet: The hubby to be is worried…
Fo0f: Did you call her?
Ahmed: Its dead, I cant get through.
Stepping in front of Ahmed, Fo0f straightened his tie,
Fo0f: Stop worrying, it’s a special night, she'll be here when she's ready.
Patting the tie in place Fo0f and Sweet walk out the kitchen, leaving Ahmed alone.
Sweet: He needs to chill.
Fo0f: Its just nerves.
Sweet: Is everyone here.
Fo0f: I think so, Princess freaked out because she thought she saw a mouse.
Sweet: Well? Was it?
Fo0f: Hmm? Oh we didn’t look.
Sweet: Nice.
The door bell rang.
Sweet: I thought you said everyone was here.
Fo0f: Could be Rima.
They walked towards the front door, only to stop as three people came in, Bored, Insane and Farah…

The party was pretty much a success, if you don’t include the fact that hostess hadn’t arrived yet. The princess came especially for this party from Kuwait. She wore a simple emerald dress, the allure lay in the silky fabric of her floor length dress and in its bold color. Her light make up, gave her features the task of showing their beauty, no embellishment was added other than her smoky eye make up, her hair was left to its own desire, cascading in a shimmering brown mass down her back. Mystique, Taqwa and Foof we're chatting on a sofa on the far side of the room, while Sweet Anger and Princess were discussing something near the windows overlooking the pool. Ahmed was talking to Bored and Insanity before moving in the direction of the kitchen, Farah, having been in the bathroom fixing her hair, saw Ahmed as he entered the kitchen. Smiling to herself Farah decided to make things slightly interesting and followed Ahmed to the kitchen.

Ahmed, who was busy filling a bucket full of ice, didn’t hear Farah as she entered the kitchen, she closed the door and walked up behind him.
Farah: need any help?
He turned to look at Farah as she lifted herself onto the kitchen counter, he leaned against the fridge in front of Farah. She was wearing a corset styled white dress that offered and inticing view of her legs.
Farah: So where's the blushing bride?
Ahmed: Your guess is as good as mine
He stood straight and was about to move, before Farah blocked his path by lifted her leg, pressing it against the fridge.
Farah: Shouldn’t I be congratulating you?
Without a second thought she tugged on his tie bringing him closer to her, seeing as the bucket was between them she took it and placed it behind her on the counter. Tugging on his tie a little more she pulled him till she had his lips pressed against hers, Farah tilted slightly to one side opened her mouth and just as Ahmed put his hands on her shoulder to push her away in walked Rima, Mystique and Taq. Rima stood shocked, then regaining her senses turned on the spot and walked right out, Mystique and Taq simply stood gaping at Ahmed. Mystique, who was wearing a black mid length dress, that fitted tightly around her chest and waist and then fell loosly around her legs, accented by a simple ribbon around her waist, walked up to Ahmed, looked at him, then slapped him. Then her gaze setteled on Farah who was simply sitting in on the counter swinging her legs enjoying the show.

It took Ahmed a moment to snap out of the daze, she slapped me! that thought reverberated through his mind as he stalked after Rima. Rima, who was trying to rememeber where the hell the door was, chose the nearest door and headed out leading her to the back-garden and pool. The thoughts in her head kept fighting each other, How could he?! On our engagement party too?! Was he mad?! I should kill him!! No I should walk out and he'd never see me again!! Yes the guilt would kill him… oh but her fists wanted to pound on him.
He caught up with her by the swimming pool as she was standing muttering to herself…

Ahmed: Rima, don’t jump to conclusions let me explain
Rima: Do you think I'm blind, I saw what I saw, what?! Did you slip and fall on her lips?! Oh I know it was a friendly kiss…
Ahmed: I didn’t kiss her, she kissed me!!
Rima: Oh so now I'm a fool as well as blind, you had your arms around her.
Ahmed: I was pushing her away…
Rima: How could you?! How can you do this??
She walked to him precariously close to the swimming pool and started poking his chest, she was being torn by anger and hurt and she wasn’t leaving him unscathed.
Rima: You decide to play around on the day we get engaged, in front of EVERYONE!

Inside the house everyone was gathered near the windows watching the scene…
Sweet: Saudi drama!! Ugh
Bored: I don’t see you moving away from the windows.
Sweet: Hey I was here first, they just happen to be in the way of my view.
Foof: Someone should do something.
Taqwa: Enough has been done already.
Sweet: Talking of which, where are Farah and Mystique?
At that moment they heard screams coming from down the hall. Sweet laughed, while Princess looked at Foof, both of them trying to hide their smiles.
Bored: Cool catfight, someone hand me a camera.
Sweet stepped on his foot, twisted her high heels bruising his unfortunate toes.
Sweet: Oh sorry luv… I could have sworn I saw a bug. Someone should make sure no permanent damage is being done to those girls.
No one moved.

Ahmed: Your just being stubborn, you think I'd be stupid enough to lose you, everything we have and what we could have over a silly kiss that I didn’t want or ask for?!
Rima: Don’t even think to turn it on me. I loved you, I was going to spend the rest of my life with you.
Ahmed: Don’t start talking in the past, we still love each other, we're still getting married
Rima: I expect fidelity from you…
Ahmed: You have it!! Get it in your head. I'm yours I don’t want anyone else!!
She was quiet for a few seconds, doubts started to enter her mind, could he be telling the truth??
Rima: I saw what I saw Ahmed
He cut her off and scooped her up in his arms…
Ahmed: You know what Rima, cool off!!
And with that he threw her in the pool…

Back in the room, silence too over before it was destroyed by a few people laughing and a few gasping in shock.
Bored: That man is dead.
Sweet: Pretty much
Foof: You know whats really annoying… She spent hours on her hair and makeup.
Another burst of laughter filled the room…

After a few minutes, of trying to calm down, Ahmed walked into the bedroom.
Ahmed: Are you done yet?
Rima poked her head out from the bathroom her hair wet and when she spotted Ahmed he could have sworn he heard her growl
Rima: Get out! You son of a bitch I don’t want to see you.
Ahmed: I already told you, I didn’t kiss her, she kissed me.
Rima: Like you didn’t enjoy it!?
Ahmed: actually I was too shocked to enjoy it.
That earned him a wet towel thrown at his face.
Rima: and then you throw me in the pool! Are you out of your mind?
She walked up to him poked his chest and ranted forgetting that she only had a towel on.
Ahmed: Rima…
Rima: No forget it.
Ahmed: Rima…
Rima: This whole thing is off.
Ahmed: Fine.
And with that he picked her up and dumped her onto the bed.
Rima: Ahmed what the hell do you think your doing?
He took off his suit jacket, then the tie unbuttoned the first two of his shirt, he was taking off his shoes and socks while he was talking…
Ahmed: Since you want to break things off, might as well give you a reason not to. I do believe that actions speak louder then words to you.
Rima: Are you out of your mind?
She got up from the bed and was walking away towards the bathroom when he grabbed the edge of her towel and whipped it off. Reflexively Rima screamed in shock and tried to cover herself with her arms, but was helpless when Ahmed pulled her to him, digging his fingers in her hair and kissing her. She pushed him, tried to kick him but eventually stopped when she admitted to herself that she didn’t want him to stop. Her hands gripped the front of his shirt, and felt him loosen his grip on her hair, then felt his hand go slowly from the base of her neck to the over the curve of her spin. She felt as if his hands were burning her skin delightfully, leaving a trail of heat as it cruised further down till he cupped her ass. Her moan was smothered by his lips as kissed her long, hard and wet, till her mind went blank and only sensations ruled. She didn’t know how she got onto the bed again, but she was grateful she knew her knees would have buckled if she stood up a few moments more.
Rima: We should stop
Ahmed: Not going to happen.
Rima: I don’t want this.
Ahmed: Yes you do.
Which he proved when he heard her sigh his name in pleasure. His shirt joined his suit and tie as did his trousers. He trailed kisses over her body, touching her, and knew he desperately wanted to fill her. He kissed her mouth, before he joined himself to her, and heard her gasp in shock, in pleasure. He buried his face in her luxurious hair as he moved, his hands kept moving over her touching her, his finger tips touched, prodded, coaxed responses from her. He felt her getting closer to fulfillment, trailed kisses down her throat along her jaw before he bit her shoulder and lost himself in her.

Special thanks to:

One Small Thing..

2006-07-01T14:25:00.000+03:00

Today..I was going back to the office after I had my lunch break. The weather was pretty much HOT here in Jeddah as it reached 48ºC in the afternoon. I had that horrible headache and I wasn't at the working mood at all..in a traffic light I saw a bus of my old school. Excitedly I stepped a little to see the driver of the bus..and there I was shocked!! it's him!! 3AM HASANEEN!!!!

18 years ago I was playing with some friends at our school playground..somehow I felt and I broke my hand. Of course I was crying and all that, it really hurt. A teacher called the school's driver to take me to the hospital. It was 3am hasaneen lol he took me to the hospital and I remember how he used to tell me don't cry son..you are gonna be just fine..you are a big guy now! stop crying :P

When I saw him today..I got memories of my school, friends and my teachers. It's amazing that one small thing can bring all that..when I was next to the bus, I looked at him with a big smile on my face..he saw me but he didn't recognize me of course.

I want to be a kid again..

لندن - مايو 1989

2006-06-29T05:05:00.000+03:00

كان واقفاً على الشرفة متاملاً وجوه المارة.. صوت محمد عبده يصدح بأغنيته المفضلة "صوتك يناديني". لم تكن لفحات الشتاء القارس مؤثرة..كان في عالم آخر، كان في مكان آخر من العالم. جسده هنا و قلبه هناك

كان دائم التفكير، لم يتوقف قلبه عن السؤال عنها..كان عاجزاً عن اجابة كل هذه التساؤلات..كيف لهذا أن يحدث؟ أليس هو من يقصده الجميع عندما يعجزون عن حل مشكلاتهم؟ أليس هو من أجمع الكل على مقدرته الهائلة في تحليل شخصيات من يصادفهم في حياته و كأنه خبير في سيكولوجية النفس البشرية؟ كيف لا يستطيع الاجابة عن تساؤلات نفسه؟ هل كانت هي اللغز الوحيد في حياته و التي عجز عن حلها؟ كيف؟ و لماذا هي؟

كيف فشل عن فهمها؟ أكان غارقاً في هواها؟ أهي من أعمت بصيرته؟ كيف صدقها حين دلت كل المؤشرات على كذبها؟ كيف استطاع قلبه على منحها كل هذه الفرص المتوالية في حين تمنت الأخريات الحصول على فرصة واحدة ليحظوا يقلبه؟
كان فريداً بفكره..فريداً بشخصيته..كان يبهر الجميع بإلمامه بشتى المواضيع..كان يشعر بنظرات الرجال الحاسدة..كما كان يشعر بنظرات المعجبات من النساء..كانت النظرات تلاحقه أينما ذهب..بينما كان هو يلاحق نظراتها هي..هي فقط..

يعود لسؤال نفسه مرة بعد مرة..ماذا فعلت كي تخونك؟ ماذا فعلت كي تعاقب بهذه الطريقة القاسية؟ كيف لها أن تأتي بهذا القلب القاسي؟ أكان عبدالحليم محقاً عندما قال، ماكنتش اعرف ان العيون دي ممكن تخون بالشكل دا ولا كنتش اعرف ان الحنان ممكن يهون بالشكل دا....؟
أكان عبدالحليم يقصد سعاد حسني؟هو يعرف أن سعاد كانت حبه المجهول..التي لم يكن يدري عنها أحد...

يعود ليذكر أيامه معها..عاد لتلك الذكريات السعيدة..تذكر الليالي اللاتي أفضن بالحنان..تذكر همساتها له بأنها له للأبد..
تذرف عيناه الدموع..يسمع رنين الهاتف من الغرفة المجاورة..يجيب ليأتيه صوت الندم من مكان بعيد..عادت عيناه لتذرف المزيد من الدموع..ظنت هي أنها دموع فرح ..وكان ظنها خاطئاً

The Destiny

2006-06-05T20:05:00.000+03:00

He knew her since they were at the age of three, maybe before that. When does a boy get to know his neighbor girl? At the first year? Second? He doesn’t know. What he knows is that they were never apart since they have known each other. The whole village knows about them. Zainab, or Zooba and Abdulsamee, or Abdu. They begin to play from dawn until nightfall.

The years passed, Abdu went to the "Kuttab", a place where kids go and get religion lessons. On the other hand, Zooba stays at home with her mom. After the Kuttab, green pastures became open for the two kids to play in. they played in the cornfields and next to the pond.

Zooba has grown. She started to transform into a grown up woman. Abdu also has grown, the small kid became a man. How old was he at that time? And how old was she? He doesn’t remember. What he remembers is that period between his childhood and teenager's life. Abdu has finished his school at the village and started to pack in order to go to the city. He needs to work with his uncle there. Another person proposed to Zooba by contacting her dad. Zooba's dad agreed, preparations for the wedding has started.

He recalls every single moment of that day, when they met after the Fajr prayer, and the darkness surrounds the cornfields and the pond. He remembers how she appeared by the first light..half child and half woman. How he welcomed her gracefully as a half child and a half man.

-I'm going to the city Zooba.

-I know, Abdu-Will you remember me, Zooba?

-Perhaps, and you?

- Perhaps. How are you gonna marry Alhaj Younis? He is your fathers' age!

- It's my destiny.

- do you love him, Zooba?

-As I told you, it's my destiny, can't do anything about it.

-How about me?

-You are going to the city, and leaving me.

-You already left me! Aren't you marrying this guy next Friday? Or you forgot that?

-Forgot? See my "Henna" (a tattoo women used to put on their hands before weddings)

The Henna, her hands, legs, lips, eyes, the cornfield, the pond..he didn't intend to do anything..she didn’t intend to do anything. He was half boy and half man, she was half girl and half woman. The boy started to play with the girl. Before they noticed, the man started to play with the woman. When they woke up, they found few blood drops on Zainab's skirt. She went crying to the pond to wash up her skirt. He was crying and watching her washing her skirt. They both knew for sure that when her husband will divorce her once he finds out that she is no longer a virgin. In addition to her dad who would probably, kills her. They couldn't do anything but, crying.

The big night arrived. Abdu was with the kids watching the wedding. He was not dancing with the others. While Zainab was inside. Waiting for her fate. Time was moving very slowly. The drums are no longer playing. The songs are stopped. Fireworks discontinued. Everybody held their breath waiting for the red bandanna which announces to the whole world that the girl is a virgin. Zainab's father is waiting with the guests… Suddenly, a voice came to crack the silence..Congratulations!! she is a virgin!! Zainab dad is looking proudly to the red bandanna..the voices raise: Congratulations!..Fireworks are exploding again..Abdu fainted"

I remembered this funny yet embarrassing story happened to me few years back. I went to Makkah in Ramadan. I used to go with my friends to perform Umrah during this holy month. We were going with my car so when we arrived, I parked my car far away because of the crowd.

Usually in this month, everyone turns to be a taxi. Even private cars will be taxis because of the huge demand. So a car stopped as the guy saw us waiting for a taxi. We went in, I sat in the front and the three friends of mine were at the back. I started to open a conversation with the guy as none of my friends were talking. So I asked him as if I’m talking to an Indian guy (no offense to Indians but they have a known Arabic accent), Kam sana enta fe sho3’ol hina? (How long have you been here in Makkah?) The guy looked at me and didn’t reply. I repeated the question to him and then I said: Sadeeq? (friend?). I was wondering why he is not answering and later I knew why lol.

So imagine this, I’m waiting for an answer as I started to get annoyed (I hate it when someone ignores me :P)

Driver: ana min mawaleed Makkah 7abeebi..S3oodi zayye zayyak.
(I’m a Saudi citizen as you are..born and raised in Makkah!!)
Me: astonished (if you saw me at that moment, you will know how bad was it :P)
My friends: laughing their asses off..
Me: irritated and embarrassed..
Driver: smiling

If you were in my place..what would you do? :p

Well Done Hazar!

2006-05-12T15:24:00.000+03:00

While I was reading Okaz newspaper today..I came across this article..and I felt so proud of her..first because she is Saudi..and its a fact that we don't have much Saudis in advertising..in fact, the advertising industry in Saudi Arabia are dominated by non Saudis, Lebanese for example..

Now, back to the subject..Hazar Saleh Bogari has won an "OMNI" prize for her designs..she is dreaming to have her own creative agency on day.. Good luck Hazar! keep up the good work..

P.S. I'll try to post her winning poster..if any one finds it, please let me know!

I Swear! They Got Issues!!!

2006-05-06T14:39:00.000+03:00

Take a look at THIS

Man! This is Bad!!

2006-04-28T16:39:00.000+03:00

So dear bloggers, I'm back from my short visit to Bahrain. It was good for a change..wasn't that good as I expected.

We had a long seminar from 9 to 5..after that we had a chance to visit the "kingdom". so in the first day we went to this spa place..a very romantic, quiet and cool place. On the second day we went to a Mexican resturant, food wasn't great but it was okay..I liked the band very much :P

So we came back to the hotel around 12 midnight..one of my collegues decided to go to some place for a drink..I had nothing to do so I went with her..

As we were walking towards the bar..I saw one guy from our office...he was walking with someone "a russian hooker"..worth mentioning, this guy is married and he has kids. I heared a lot about this guy being such a womenizer and "stupid" at the same time..I never had the chance to travel with him before. this was my first and definetly the last!

I know this is non of my business whether this guy cheats on his wife or not but when we were in the car hidding to Dammam (we came through Dammam and then we drove to Bahrain by car)..his wife called from Beirut..and I could see how happy she was.. talking to him. I saw how he talked to her...with his cold voice..and he was saying stuff like i miss you and i love u..I mean what if she knew about his affairs? what would happen..
the problem is that this is not the first time nor the last..this guy used to harass our female collegues!! and they used to kick his ass all the time!! I told you he is STUPID!!

ahhh..I really hate these kinda people..I really do!

Away..

2006-04-22T11:07:00.000+03:00

I'll be away for couple of days. I gotta attend a seminar in Bahrain :)

I'll miss ya all.. see ya soon ;)

Lessons of Life

2006-03-13T16:57:00.000+03:00

Here is an email I got..nice read :)

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life. He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.

Moral:

Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later.

Once in the Hospital..

2006-03-09T20:03:00.000+03:00

Last week I went to visit my aunt at a hospital..she had troubles with her knees..

I arraived there at 20:30..I sat next to her bed..and had a little chat with her..she was so happy and delightful because of my visit.. :)

At that time..three of her friends came in..I went to the other room so they can sit with her..

While I was in the other room I saw a portrait picture of a woman on the wall..it was a young woman, in her mid 30's..she had this ambigues and confident look..behind her, a view on the beach at sunset time..(BTW I'm into art, calligraphy, paintings...etc so bear with me if you find this a little weird, :P)..the picture was stunning..It might not be that amazing to others(otherwise it wont be hanged on some hospital's room!!) but I just found it beautiful..

when I saw that woman's face..many things came in to my mind..I rememberd many things..I rememberd her..I rememberd my dear friend..I even rememberd my ex!! I thought of that woman on the portrait itself..her name was Salma..I knew that because there were few lines under the portrait..(the text were in Arabic..below is a translation)

عيناك البراقتان اعطتني الدفء
ثغرك البسام اعطاني الأمل
انت..كل سعادتي
انت..سبب وجودي
سلمى..في ماذا تفكرين؟
سلمى..بمن تحلمين؟

your shining eyes gave me the warmness..
your gorgeous smile gave me the hope..
you are my happiness..
you are the reason of my existence..
Salma..what are you thinking of..
Salma..who are you dreaming about..

(Special Thanks to my friends, bloggers, collegues whom wished me a happy birthday..yesterday 9th March was my 28th BD :) thank you guys!)

Khalidah..

2006-02-22T09:53:00.000+03:00

Since I'm a single guy who lives alone.. I used to have these late dinners (that happens when my dear wife, Rimyoleta, punish me and leave me with no food :P)..so I used to go to Mcdonalds at 2:00 am because its the only place which still open at that time..

So once I went to Mcdonalds and I found this 6 years, cute Afghani girl ( I thought she was a boy in the begining!) standing there in the drive thu...she was standing there and staring at the cars..she didn't approach to my car or anything..she was just looking..The girl is so cute and she is so innocent..I noticed that she was looking at me so I looked and I smiled..she kept looking and she didn't say anything lolI took my Quarter Cheese meal and I gave her a small fries and told her to eat it..she took the fries and went away..

When I came again in another day, I saw her right there looking at the cars in the drive thru again..this time I decided to talk to her..I said hi..keef 7alek? (how are you?)..she gave me that look..and she went away :P

Yesterday, there was another story :P I went to Mcdonalds and saw her..I smiled..she approaced my car and surprisingly, she talked!!!! check out the conversation we had:

Her: you again? you came yesterday! and before yesterday!! you come here everyday (she tried to show that with her hand :P)

Me: (I was really shocked lol) No that's not true..I didn't came here yesterday..I came last week remember?

Her: (she said something in Afghani, I don't think she liked what I just said lol) No you came here yesterday..I saw your car!

Me: Okay okay I was here yesterday (I wanted the conversation to continue :P) tell me whats your name?

Her: Khalidah

Me: What are you doing here ya Khalidah?

Her:Working!! Don't you see that?

Me: Working? Where is your parents?

Her: at home

Me: Why they are at home? you are the one who should be at home!

Her: (didn't seem to understand what I just said)

Me: Do you have any brothers and sisters?

Her: yes I have one brother here in Jeddah and 3 sisters in Afghanistan

Me: where is you brother now?

Her: Working!! he sells towels at the supermarket's parking lots..Enta aish esmak? (Hey what's your name?)

Me: Ahmed!

Her: your car is nice..(she approaced to the car and inserted her little head to see the car from the inside) :PAfter that my order was ready..I gave her the fries as usual..she told me that she bought a hamburger a while ago..I smiled and told her it's okay..have this fries with you..we are friends right? she smiled.I left the place with so many questions in my head..I tried to imagine how Khalidah's future will look like..how she would remember her parents after what they have done to her..That's really sad..isn't it?

Why they would do that?

2006-02-18T01:53:00.000+03:00

Everyone of us has friends. We look after our friends, we defend our friends and sometimes we fight for our friends. Friends do fight and they do get in conflicts with each other, but at the end they are still friends..they love each other, they adore each other and they would always be there for each other..at the end all these fights and conflicts become history.

Now, the purpose of my post is that there are certain things which I don't understand in friendships..and I thought of sharing these things with you..I might find some answers..

Why would our friends hurt us while we have nothing but love to give them?
Why would our friends give up on us while we were there for them when they needed us?
Why would we worry for them while they don't give a damn about us?
Why would we insist in having them in our lives while we are not part of theirs?
Why would we cry for them while they are laughing at us?
Why would we spend hours thinking about them while they wouldn't waste a minute to think about us?
Why would we neglect our beloved ones and run after people whom never thought of us?
Why would they come at first while we come the last?
Why would we always forgive instead of forget?

The list continues and I don't have a single answer..

Sorry guys but i'm taking a break due to some personal problems..i shall be back soon inshalla :)

Ya Waaad?!!!

2006-01-17T12:05:00.000+03:00

I've listened to a radio ad on MBC FM & Panorama. The ad goes like this:

Girl( in a boy-ish type of voice): shaghil mokhak ya WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!! (open up your mind, DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE)
another girl: Why?
Girl: So you can win SR 15,000!
the other girl: How?!
Girl: Send an SMS to this number xxxxxx and you will get a chance to win SR 15,000!!

The ad finishs like that..there is no name for this draw..no sponsor's name..no nothing. Now, what it makes me a little confused me about this ad is why the hell is this girl talking like boys? the term ya WAAAD is used MAINLY by boys here in the Western region, Now whenever I hear this ad I just turn off the damn radio..lol

If you haven't heard this ad, open MBC FM at anytime..and for sure, you will find it :S it comes 100 times a day I guess :S

For those who've been exposed to it, what do you think?

Brand's Loyalty

2005-12-29T09:53:00.000+03:00

Okay guys, sorry for not updating my blog for a long time. That's because I'm busy at work and I have a lot to do for next year..I'm doing this so I wouldn't get fired. huh ;)

Anyways,there is this story I heard from my fellow co-workers and it's about brand's loyalty.
Of course, all of us like certain brands. We buy them on regualr basis, recommend these brands to our friends and family and sometimes we cannot switch them to other brands. Here, at that stage we call that "brand loyalty".
This is an interesting story about brands loyalty..read it and give me your opinion..

Once, A very known company , let's call it X, was shooting a commercial ad. So everyone were there, the company's marketing managers, Advertising agency directors, casting (models for the ad) and others.

During the shoot, one of the ad director's assistants started to drink a Cola dink. And it was the strongest competitor to company X. The marketing manager saw him, then he sent one of his assistants to talk to this guy (who doesn't respect the idea that company X is shooting one of it's ad's and he is drinking a competitor's drink). Anyway, the assistant went and talked to him in a polite way. the other guy refused to stop drinking that drink (he said that this is his personal freedom and he can drink whatever he wants). Then, the marketing manager went to this guy by himself, and they had this conversation:

MKT manager: excuse me, your are drinking Y in this area which is not acceptable. If you wanna drink, you can go somewhere but at least don't show everyone of what you are doing..

Assistant: But I believe that this is my personal freedom and I wanna drink whatever I want whenever I want..this has nothing to do with business..

MKT manager: Listen, I'm paying for all this (he meant the shooting, I remember that it was like $300,000 only for the production). So If you are insisting, at least respect our feelings and don't drink this in fron of us..

The assistant left the location. company X STILL didn't pay the ad director part of his money ($ 20,000)!!

So..What do you think?

Joke

2005-12-08T12:59:00.001+03:00

My previous post was too long and serious..so I thought this one is much better :P

A stunning blonde went into a world wide message centre to send a
message to her mother overseas.

When the man told her it would cost $300, she exclaimed: "But I
don't have any money. But I'd do ANYTHING to get a message to my
mother".
The man arched an eyebrow (as we would expect) "Anything?" he asked.
"Yes, yes, anything" the blonde promised.
Well then ,just follow me" said the man as he walked towards the
next room, the blonde did as she was told and followed the man.
Come in and close the door" the man said. She did. He then said
"Now get on your knees".
She did
"Now take down my zipper".
She did.
"Now go ahead, take it out ...." he said.
She reached in and grabbed it with both hands...then paused.
The man closed his eyes and whispered
"Well...go ahead"
The blonde slowly brought her mouth closer to it...and while holding
it close to her lips, tentatively said...

"Hello, Mom...can you hear me?"

Steve Jobs' commencement speech at this year's Stanford graduation

2005-12-07T10:39:00.000+03:00

Very interesting….A good read with many lessons.

Stanford Report, June 14, 2005

'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple
Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the
finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be
told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I
want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just
three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed
around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why
did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed
college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She
felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so
everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his
wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that
they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a
call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do
you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out
that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never
graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers.
She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would
someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that
was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents'
savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't
see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no
idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending
all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to
drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the
time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The
minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't
interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor
in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food
with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one
good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I
stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be
priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction
in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every
drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and
didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy
class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif
typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter
combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful,
historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I
found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But
ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all
came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first
computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single
course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or
proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its
likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped
out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal
computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it
was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college.
But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them
looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect
in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life,
karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all
the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky - I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started
Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years
Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion
company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation -
the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got
fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew
we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me,
and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the
future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did,
our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly
out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was
devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the
previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as
it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried
to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I
even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began
to dawn on me - I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had
not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And
so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was
the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being
successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less
sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods
of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company
named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my
wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature
film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the
world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to
Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's
current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from
Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it.
Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm
convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I
did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as
it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,
and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great
work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you
haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the
heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it
just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you
find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each
day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made
an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in
the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my
life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the
answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change
something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever
encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost
everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment
or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only
what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best
way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are
already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the
morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know
what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of
cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than
three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in
order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell
your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them
in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so
that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your
goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy,
where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my
intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the
tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they
viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it
turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with
surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I
get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to
you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely
intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die
to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever
escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the
single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the
old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too
long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry
to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be
trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's
thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner
voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and
intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.
Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth
Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a
fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought
it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before
personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with
typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in
paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and
overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and
then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the
mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a
photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find
yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the
words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they
signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for
myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

Warnings of a Flu Pandemic

2005-11-13T10:09:00.000+03:00

What is the "bird flu"?
Bird flu is an infection caused by avian (bird) influenza (flu) viruses. These flu viruses occur naturally among birds. Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not get sick from them. However, bird flu is very contagious among birds and can make some domesticated birds, including chickens, ducks, and turkeys, very sick and kill them Wild waterfowl can also be responsible for the primary introduction of infection into domestic poultry

How is avian influenza spread?
Certain birds act as hosts of influenza viruses. Infected birds shed virus in saliva, nasal secretions and feces. Avian influenza viruses spread to susceptible birds when they have contact with contaminated nasal, respiratory and fecal material from infected birds.

Is it possible to get the bird flu from eating chicken or eggs?
No -- if the meat is fully cooked. Cooking kills flu viruses in poultry, meat, and eggs. The bird flu virus can survive on raw meat from infected poultry. It is also unsafe to eat undercooked poultry or consume raw eggs. or lightly cooked egg products (such as runny eggs).
Proper hygiene -- hand washing and the disinfecting of all surfaces that come in contact with the meat -- is essential. It is also recommended to avoid unnecessary contact with live poultry. This includes markets where live birds are sold, as it is possible for the avian influenza virus to stick to hair and clothing, and it may also be inhaled

What are the signs and symptoms of avian influenza?
The symptoms of avian influenza in humans range from typical influenza-like symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, sore throat and muscle aches) to eye infections, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress, viral pneumonia, and other severe and life-threatening complications.

How do you catch bird flu?
People have caught bird flu from handling infected poultry and from surfaces contaminated with poultry feces. There are a few suspected cases of human-to-human bird flu transmission. This happened only after prolonged face-to-face contact. But bird flu has not learned how to spread easily from person to person.

General Advices
• Avoid contact with wild or domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks and geese. Don't go to farms or market places.
• Stop young children from putting contaminated objects or their own fingers into their mouths.
• Eggshells may be contaminated with bird faeces. Wash eggs thoroughly before breaking and wash your hands thoroughly after handling eggs. or as a general rule after handling meat or poultry
• Avoid foods that contain uncooked egg, such as mayonnaise.
• Wash hands, chopping boards and utensils thoroughly after handling raw poultry
• Separate a board used for chopping chicken from the one used for cutting cooked food, vegetables, or fruits
• Cook poultry at high temperatures. Cooking temperatures of 80°C or higher destroy the bird flu virus in about 60 seconds.

Nice article

2005-10-26T05:08:00.000+03:00

I saw this article in Asharq Alawsat newspaper by Badria Albesher..it's really nice

خواطر شاب

كانت خواطره على غير عادة خواطرهم، فهو شاب ملتح، لكنه أنيق المظهر، خطابه أيضا أنيق مثله، برز بتميزه منذ شارك في برنامج «يلا شباب» الديني. وفي بعض مقابلاته رأيته وهو يحاول أن يقود محاوره لساحة بيضاء لا تقليد فيها ولا تبعية، تدين الشر مهما كان جنسه، وتحيي الخير مهما كان مرجعه، لكن محاوره يلتزم بالتقليد الايدلوجي الأعمى.

أحمد الشقيري لم يقلد أحدا في برنامجه «خواطر شاب»، إلا أنه لم يبتكر سوى بوعيه رؤية للإسلام الجميل. صورة لإسلام حاول معظم جيله من قبله أن يجعلوه دين المظهر وليس المخبر، فغلب صوتهم وصياحهم للتأكيد على أن المسلم هو فقط من أطلق اللحية وقصر الثوب، ونسوا أن الدين المعاملة.

أحمد الشقيري تناول في حلقة كاملة من برنامجه موضوع معاملة الخدم، سرد فيها كل الأحاديث النبوية التي تحث على الرفق والعدالة مع الخدم، نزل بالكاميرا للشارع، وأخذ آراء الشباب والشابات المحجبات في صورة جديدة للاعتزاز برأي المرأة كمواطنة ذات عقل ودين، واجه الناس بالأسئلة السهلة المعتادة، لكنها جديدة على وعينا مع الخدم: هل تعطي خادمتك يوم إجازة في الأسبوع؟.

النساء كن الأرق في تعاملهن، فأكدن على حق الخادمة، وهذا بشارة خير، الرجال أكدوا أن اعتمادهم الكلي على الخادمة لن يسمح لهم بإعطائها ساعة في النهار ولا يوم في الأسبوع. وعندما خاف أحمد الشقيري من أن يترك الناس لهواها وعواطفها الغائبة، أظهر صورة من العقود التي تبرمها مكاتب استقدام الخدم مع مكفوليهم والتي وقعوا عليها، ليوضح أن يوم إجازة حق قانوني للخدم وليس منة من أحد، فهل تمتثلون!.

خطاب أحمد الشقيري الشاب، هو الخطاب الديني المعاصر الذي نحتاجه اليوم فهو الخطاب الذي يؤصل الدين في حياتنا كقيم وسلوك ومعاملة، بما أكد عليه الأنبياء كلهم. فالدين المعاملة. والدين هو الأمانة والصدق والرحمة والعدل ومحاربة الفساد والرشوة والواسطة، وإماطة الأذى عن الطريق، وستر العورات، وحفظ الأعراض، ونبذ الغيبة والنميمة، ورفض شهادة الزور.

هل سمعتم خطابا جماهيرا تشغله هذه القيم أكثر مما يشغله المظهر؟!. للأسف ما نراه اليوم في معظم البرامج الدعوية الإصلاحية، هي برامج أيدلوجية الأهداف، تضع قيم المظهر فوق كل شيء، إن لم يكن كل شيء!.

فالبعض يقيم الدنيا ولا يقعدها لو ظهر ممثل بلحية يقوم بدور شرير، ويعتبر أن ذلك تعريض بأهل الصلاح، فأهم علامات الصلاح مجرد إطلاق اللحية، وينسى أن المجرمين واللصوص ومروجي المخدرات وعصابات المافيا، وحتى الصهاينة من اليهود، أيضا يطلقون لحاهم، وأن اللحية في مجتمعات كثيرة مثل مجتمعنا هي مظهر اجتماعي قبل أن تكون مظهرا أخلاقيا.

بل ان أكثر ما يثير الاستغراب في بعض المسابقات الدينية للطلبة، هو انشغالها بأسئلة من نوع: ما حكم مشاهدة الفضائيات؟ وما حكم سماع الموسيقى؟ وما حكم مشاهدة البرنامج التلفزيوني طاش ما طاش؟!.
