Hysteria

Ever wondered where the word hysteria came from?

" The term hysteria was coined by Hippocrates, who thought that the cause of hysteria was due to the uterus wandering around the body in search of children. "

(In medical terms, hystero- means uterus)

LOL..

Today I realized that I MUST work on my speaking skills! I suck, suck, SUCK!!!

My friend and I want to volunteer in a hospital during summer. So we made some calls today.. We both sounded like little girls and we both didnt have a clue, but because I'm a bit better than her I had to do the talking.
The conversations went like this;

- alo el salam 3laykum
- wa 3laykum el salam.
- momken mudeer elmustashfa?
- el7een 3ndu break o bydawem el sa3a 1.

I called again ..

Schizophrenia

I have two selves.. my nerd self who wants to study and do everything perfectly on time, and my loser self, who just wants to have fun and never make any effort.
Well, my nerd self was doing a good job today until the other self jumped it and started ruining the poor nerd self's life. It was a tough competition. But eventually the almighty loser self won and here I am online, watching soap operas and planning for the weekend.
Now my nerd self is pinching me for allowing my loser self to control me! Or that's what they call conscience?
I dont know. I just want my nerd back =(

OMG..!

There was a new women-only coffeeshop open in a city here in Saudi. Okay I know that the city's one of the most Saudi conservative cities, and in one of the most conservative regions, but I was SHOCKED to read what I read today. I told everyone I saw today about it, I just cant let it go =

Subject of the topic
"مصيبة وطامة كبرى . . مقهى بنات في وسط مدينة ..."

Here are some 'interesting' comments I read;
1. والحريم على فكرة : " ما يعطن وجه ",,,

yay thanks!

2. لكن على العموم : لن يخرج له سوى الفويسقات الفاضيات .. وستجد لها الفاسق الفاضي .. ويلتم شمل ... على خايب الرجاء .

could you describe it better? =')

3. إلا يوجد قهوة في بيوتنا أعجزت النساء عن شربها في المنزل حتى تخرج وتشربها في السوق

^ Honestly that was one good perspective.. give it a thought =P

la7'6o ennu 14 pages all discussing this urgent topic.. I'm not saying that all members agree with that weirdo, some were very reasonable el 9ra7a o im not just being sarcastic or anything, God forbid, but wallah it's really really reeally saaaad to know that there are people out there still think that way! but as they say "الرجال ما يعيبه شي", and the girl's name is 3awra =\

Is it too hard to understand that الحلال بيـّن والحرام بيّن and that they should not mix between religion and traditions? That el 7aram & el 7alal applies to women & men the same?

That what one of them said is some kind of Gathf? Well, All I can say is Allaah y5arejna =P
