No one to be tagged, I am like the last one on the blogosphere to do the tag..

koll tag wento bel se77a wel saalama

A suggested list for the fellow Egyptians

I think Egyptians should start doing the following:

1- Acknowledging bikes as reliable means for transportation. Also carpooling would not be bad.

2- Listening to the weather news, specially at turbulent times like fall, winter and spring :)

3- Reading other stuff than the newspaper.

4- Reading other sections in the newspaper other than sports.

5- Taking daily shower, specially if using public transportation

6- Giving a damn.

7- Gardening.


I think also they should stop doing the following now we are at it:

1- Littering

2- Smoking

3- Watching Noor

4- Complaining

Too late

I opened firefox in frustration in order to rant in the blog about some stuff that are bothering me. By the time I opened the New Post page, I cooled off and I am actually content. Are my mood swings too fast? Is Firefox too slow to keep up?

P.S: I am enjoying that everybody is fel sa7el. Seriously, the country is amazingly quiet, the traffic is perfect, and I am having good practice on my driving el7amdolellah. Actually el balad fadya le daraget enny 7assa enn mesh heya deh Cairo elly ana 3arfaha, and I sometimes feel as if I AM fe masyaf.

Mutual Friend: Deee

People who

There is a couple of stuff that total strangers do that totally get on my nerves for sometimes no justifiable reason. Here is a few:

1- People who are lazy to walk up/down the escalators. I don't know why people like to stand in the escalators instead of moving. I mean it is made to make things faster, not people lazier. w ba3deen if you are too lazy to move, please take a side so that others can pass.

2- Close-talkers:Buzz off will ya?.. begad i NEED my personal space.

3- Za7ma-creators: This includes roughly 80% + of Egyptians. But in general it includes taxi drivers who slow down in "the middle of the road" to pick up people,; People who go 3aks el etgah be dahrhom 3ashan they missed an exit, and even the annoying fact that we simply and genetically can not form a decent line to wait for our turn.

4- People who drag their feet while walking and make a "shhhhht-shhhht" sound with their sandals/shebsheb/shoes.

5-Pedestrians that walk in a narrow street with total disregard of the cars. They can actually see/hear a car coming from behind or infront of them and don't care to stop or move aside la7ad lamma el 3arabya te3addy.Tana7a keda w la mobalaah.

6- W aktar 7aga betnarfezny (w tewadeeny keda w tegbny) people who play songs on thier mobiles w homma mashyeen. Most of the time these are teenage girls w beyb2a ma3ahom mobile nokia w 3'aleban beysh3'alloh tamer 7osny or shereen. No one asked you to entertain the streets thank you very much. Kindly try headphones, and definitely you DON'T ever ever sing a long fel sahre3.

I am starting to believe that I am living in the wrong country.

An Oh Yeah Post!

I never saw that comming, bass Thanks To Inso, I am now fixated on Fairouz/Sayed Darwish

All day long, it is either Zoroony or Aho dah elly saar!!


Many thanks to you insomniac!!



Listening to (Duh!): زوروني كل سنة مرة

أخيرا

أخيراً كل مشاكلنا اختفت!

أخيراً كل الأسعار إتثبتت

و كل المدارس والجامعات إتزبطت

و كل السجون إتشمعت

و كل البلاد إتحررت

و كل الاحلام إلي كان نفسي فيها إتحققت

أي حد ياكل, يجوز أو يشتغل..

خلاص كل الأمور إتيسرت!

رجعتلنا الكرامة والقوة والمكانة
صحي الضمير ملنوم
و رجعت والأمانة


مفضلناش غير مشكلة
إن فلان ساب علانة
