• With censorship?

    In my post of yesterday, I called for some censorship from the government on what I percieved as a discriminating ad. I got a couple of comments as a reply to my post. One of them was from Nas who thinks that it is odd that I am the one calling for censorship – which…

  • Veiled women needed for Al Tazaj! – Blunt discrimination

    Yesterday I came across an ad in the newspaper for the ‘Al Tazaj’ fast food restaurant asking for employees to work for them in their branch in Amman. What caught my attention is their explicit request of ‘veiled’ females which I find as a disturbing blunt discrimination. I do realize that this happens on a…

  • Elissa and conspiracy theory mentality

    It is just funny how the conspiracy theory mentality works. It can be applied on anything, from a childish distrust of a person, to politics and nations affairs. One can see it clear in every Arabic forum. Usually there is a news or something to disucss. People start supporting or attacking the issue on hand,…

  • Trust…

    “I don’t trust anyone because no one can be trusted in this life. I have been burnt before from my best friend” “I have found out that my ex-boyfriend was cheating on me” “Men canno’t be trusted” “There is no real friends these days” In order to protect ourselves, we lose much enjoyment in life.…

  • The original sin concept

    The original sin inheritance concept of Christianity does require some faith from Christian themselves in order to swallow what would seem to be an unfair inheritance dictated by their holy God. Other people outside Christianity do point out the unfairness in such a concept of being born as a little baby while holding the original…

  • Stuck at work

    I feel tired. Work is getting more hectic everyday. 10 working hours a day is a bit too much to me. Thank God it is thursday. I can’t wait to go home and relax for a long weekend. I know that there are many people in the world who work much harder than me and…

  • Bosses!

    Some people seem to understand management and authority at work wrong. Being in a superior position to someone at work doesn’t mean that you have the right to control the person life and look down on him. Can a boss be a boss without having to remind people working for him of that every single…

  • Torn between principles and needs

    Yesterday, after a long time, I have met again by coincidence this sweet lovely girl who used to work with me. We have only been co-workers as we have much different ideologies, style of living, and way of thinking. But we have always managed to deal with each other in courtesy. We never had any…

  • Petra – New 7 wonders of the world competition

    Thanks to Batir for reminding us about the competition going on to pick up the new 7 wonders of the world. I guess that as a group of Jordanian bloggers we can do a lot to spread the word and encourage people to vote more and more. I have created a banner that links directly…

  • Lebnani

    I love this song of Ewan. The video clip is brilliant. It shows a lot of famous lebanese people either dancing, singing or just moving names of some who had left a finger print in the history of Lebaneze art. They are many. With every shot, we see happy dancing people. The lebanese people passion…
