high prices in arabia

2008-01-22T22:51:00.000-08:00

One of the main problems facing us today as 3rd world countries people is the raising of prices which is a hard thing to control by the governments add to that low incomes.

Most of the us earn like a 1000$/Month at MOST and the prices are crazy, a week ago the milk prices got high in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and people complained a lot and the government talked to the companies but nothing happened and it’s not the milk prices only, important everyday life products rice, milk, cheese, oil…you name it!! And the funny thing Saudi Arabia is considered one of the BEST case scenarios.

Countries like Yemen where the average individual income is 500$/month have even more higher prices.

Misery mounts amid Gaza closure

Worldwide anger over Gaza plight

Israel strikes Gaza during blackout

Gaza in the dark

2008-01-21T02:45:00.000-08:00

Gaza is with no power now!! Because the Israelis cut the fuel and yesterday there was no more fuel to power the generators so starting from yesterday Gaza have no power at all!! The sad thing is our so called Arabic governments didn’t not do anything not even help the Palestinians with fuel (and we are the most producing nation of oil)!!! And we as people can’t do anything since our governments are supported by the US government it’s ok for them to dictate us!! God HELP!!

arabs & video games

2008-01-02T22:25:00.000-08:00

Often People that Arab Muslims dint have a sense of humor or Arabs don’t know anything about video games.

For all of those who think that I’m sorry to disappoint you, but we do like video games and we do have comedy we’re not stiff insensitive people like the one you’ve seen on “THE KINGDOM” which pissed me off by the way and I’ve only seen the beginning of the movie where this old man force his son to watch that mad man killing people like if was an everyday activity!! And at that point I said “well I had enough of this trash”.

So back to video games, one of the popular video games here is “bomb building: Osama Edition” & “stick of jihad: sons of Allah”!!!! loooolz if you believe that then you’re very shallow, we have the same video games you have like Halo 3 (which was a big disappointment for me), assassins creed some of us have a Wii and some of us got the 3 ring of death (me I got it 3 times then I get a new gift 360 from my cousin) .

So please next time you think of young Arabs Muslim don’t think bomb and killing, think HALO3 and by the way my tag name is “thamood” if anyone wants to add me as a friend..

get rich...

2008-01-02T21:56:00.000-08:00

Like you see in the movies (which is taken from real life so it’s an endless circle) people tend to leave there countries in search for a better life.

Most of the west world tend to go to big industrial countries like the US or the UK because the chances of getting a job there is much more better than there countries.

Like that here in the Arab world we tend to leave our countries but where do we go to? Well mostly we head to gulf countries because that is where most of the work and money is focuses countries like the kingdom of Saudi Arabia the united Arab emirates are considered to be the US and UK of the Middle east and Arab world since they are wealthy and have a lot of chances to provide (but in a whole we are all still consumer 3rd world countries).

Old people

2007-08-02T00:39:00.000-07:00

I've discovered a funny discovery, as people get older they tend to fall asleep almost anywhere and everywhere, and they only place they like is the place where it have a good sleeping place?
now why? id it coz they didn't have enough sleeping when they were young?
do we get tired very fast when we get older?

oh yeah i had this question, that i have been asking around lately and now one answered me.

“although water have no color which means it's invisible why do rainy clouds look black”?

The Spanish tourists

2007-07-30T23:52:00.001-07:00

Maybe most of you don't know about this, but in the past month a small terror act happened here in Yemen which led to the death of maybe 7 Spanish tourists, now first of all let me say that I'm sorry for the Spanish families lost I know words doesn't mean much when you lose someone you love but words is all we got right now.

For years now everything was going ok in Yemen no more tourist kidnapping and no more killing people suddenly this group of extremist appeared out of no where, and yet they have the nerve to say "WE ARE MUSLIMS!!!" let me clear one thing, Islamic religion is a peaceful religion we don't kill people out of fun and I know many of you read on web sites that verses in the Holy Qu'ran ordered Muslims to kill non Muslim but that’s simply not true those verses had conditions in the past where executed now those conditions are gone.

I don't know where those people came from, but they say one of the planer for this attack was from Egypt (sure throw the blame on someone else) but still this is an act of extremist and misled people who thought they were doing the right thing.

Now I'm a big fan of conspiracy theories so sometimes I think "Oh maybe some outer force is doing this since Yemen reputation is getting better and is not considered a dangerous place anymore and someone is trying to make us look bad and make Islam look bad"

Once again so sorry for all the Spanish families lost and I just wanted to clear to you that this is not what Islam or Yemeni people are about, we are not savages and we don't hate no body.

talks

2007-07-30T23:29:00.000-07:00

Like I always do, I forget all about the English blog or whenever I want to write something I think like Mitch and say "what I'm writing is not good".

So what happened lately in Yemen, hmmm let me see not that much well some news paper editor who was thrown in jail coz the government accused him to planning to overthrown the government (which is not true but the way he had beef* with president in the past) but now he is out for the time being and don't worry freedom of speech fighters "He will be back….to jail".

Other than that, things have being very quite these days, nothing much happened.

I've discovered that everyone hates his job and most people don't like there current job no matter what it is, on the other side the people who are happy with what they are doing are two categories

One: the people who own there business, I have a friend who have a small computer hardware place and he is very happy with it and working very hard to improve his work (well it's his business so he really want to make it gr8)

Two: people who have the lowest pay, I surprised that those people are very happy at what they do, most of them cleaners and sweep the street for living, but still see the good side of life and smile and say "well leave in god's hands, and everything will be alright".

It's not like I don't have faith in god but look at the second type of people, we look and wonder, you have a lowest pay, don't have much money to save, bla bla bla, yet you find time to smile.

I wish I was like them.

Ok!!! People that’s it for now thanks for reading hope you have a gr8 day.

*for more info about "beef" listen to the Notorious BIG song BEEF.

Palestine: Hamas....

2007-06-17T22:41:00.000-07:00

Hamas was elected by the people because Hamas is the people, but the other countries including the US government (the leaders of the free world … or so they say) didn't want Hamas to win coz Hamas don't want to make peace with Israel and it don't even say it's a country (in case you're wondering we all say that Israelis are occupiers and they should just go away) but now the whole world is against Hamas because they fight for there cost and there right to have a free country !!!! What a controversy!! Why does the US put it self in the middle? Why interfere with everything going on in the Middle East!! Iraq, Lebanon and when it comes to Palestine the US government is the first one to support Israel? They want to force the Hamas government to recognize Israel and maybe in the end they will because they will cut the support out of the Palestinians and power and water but it's just gona make thing worse and raise the anger of all the people in the middle east and someday we might actually BLOW!!! (and it wont be a pretty sight)

back to square one

2007-06-17T04:57:00.000-07:00

It’s so hard to maintain 2 blogs at once; I have this blog and the other Arabic blog if you know Arabic (wana learn the hard way go to it).
Remember that old job that I’ve said I hated a lot, guess what? I’m back…they called me asking if I’m interested in going back to my old position so after a lot of thinking and the fact that I don’t have any source of income and I’ve been looking for a job for like 4 months I said YES!!!! So now I’m back to my old boring disk 90% of the time doing nothing except for web browsing.

So now what’s next? Well I’m still looking for a job that is more interesting than this, so for the mean time I’ll stay put.
Aarbic: Ma’a Al-Salama , in English Bye

we’re sorry

2007-05-15T10:58:00.000-07:00

Just got another “we’re sorry” e-mail from another company saying I didn’t get the job, now don’t worry I’m not mad or HATE life or anything, but I’m thinking maybe I can start (or at least) dreaming of starting my own business, so the first thing that came in mind is “Internet café” but then I began thinking “hmmmm there are an awful lot of internet café out there!!!” so now I’m trying to come with this idea of a place that people can hang in for “internet-books-coffee” but I can’t get a clear picture. The other idea was to start my “own-TV-show” but I’ll I need is a TV channel and writers and being famous (that’s not hard to get is it!!!) so in conclusion “are you sorry you quitted that last job?” and the answer is “Hell no I hated that job and hated myself for doing it”.

Sex in Arabia

2007-05-10T04:09:00.000-07:00

I was watching Riz Khan TV on Al-Jazeera international the other day and they were interviewing some lady who is majoring in “sex therapy” (major is sexology) the subject or the major of the lady didn’t bother me much but I was surprised from the calls she got and the questions she was asked like

“Did you get any DEATH threats?”

“Any dirty calls”

All of the calls assumed that we (by we I mean Arabs and Muslims) are some kind of stupid and very little minded people who would kill anyone who talk about sex or even say the word SEX!!!.

Talking about sex or sex therapy is not a prohibited subject to talk about (porno is another matter) but we do talk about sex and some of us (not ME) have some problems and must seek help from “sex therapist” so please guys don’t think that all of us are murders who want to kill and bomb building just for kicks just because we are Muslims and don’t let the media fool you with the picture of people using camels and living in tents!!!

By the way the lady who was doing the interview was wearing the vale and is a good muslim and i bet a lot of people in the west would say "HUH? can they do that!!" know what its isalm before you judege it.

you can go to Islam On Line maybe ask them a few quistions.

New prime minister

2007-05-01T03:35:00.000-07:00

What’s new in Yemen? Well we got a new prime minister which will solve all of our problems (or so they say) the new prime minister was the former minister of electricity and they say he is a good person (who will focus on the country’s interest and not his) but hey we all heard that before every single prime minister who came didn’t do much, well except for yapping and more yapping about NOTHING because we all ready know who calls the big shots in this country and it not the prime minister!!

And a few days ago they had this “investment-in-Yemen” expo thing, which is good by the way but is the government really ready to help investors here in Yemen I really hope so because our economy is very weak and out main source is oil which will come to an end in 2011 (and if it didn’t end blame the world bank report).
