All for women!

This post may sound odd, but anyway im writting what im thinking.

Lately, all what the westrens are talking about is the "libyan women", ok i can understand that, but some how its becoming too much till it feels weird and susppicious. I mean is allthis intrest in women???!!! Aked fe 7aja warah.

Im a woman, and yes we need support but ive been in situations where i feel like there is something not right about all the women empowerment thingy!

Maybe im wrong, but its how i feel,,,, plz feel free to disagree :)

FREEDOM!
what a feeling! It cant be described in words.....

عاشت ليبيا حره
Long live Free Libya

Feelings

Strange feelings, feeling of happiness that Libya would be free soon, feeling of guilt that i wasnt a real fighter in this war, feeling of satisfaction, that i did what i can and was allowed to do.

Mixed feelings!

The Libyan Revolution journals - through my experience

let's start from the beginning, let's start from the Tunisian Revolution.....at that stage, we were like what's going on,,the concept of revolting in the Arab world was not common in our age, even protests were not allowed to take that huge effect, but i remember the day Ben Ali fled the country, we had my extended family over, and we couldnt believe that it is really happenning, that the people finally had a voice , and they really made him run out of the country, it was a great day for the freedom in the whole Arab world.

Then after that, came the Egyptian e3tesam in Tahreer square, this time we really believed that they can do it, if the Tunisians could, then the Egyptians can!....i remember we had AlJazeera Mubasher on all the time, even at work ( even our bosses were following it, LOL), we couldn't stop watching and cheering.....I remember there was a joke been told about us libyans at that time, the joke was : Tunisian telling Libyans to lay down so they can see the real men, the Egyptions.

to be continued

Libya, the 17 Feb revolution and what's in between

its been ages since i blogged or posted anything on the web except for the facebook/twitter status updates....but since the revolution that we've been going through in the last six months ive been thinking to write again, but every time i open the page i get stuck! and how cant i be?! cause what has been going on in Libya, in my beloved country got us all stuck.

ive been through stuff ive never thought i

would experience.

But its time to start writing again

Can we women ever understand Guys???

I really don't know the answer to this question, sometimes it feels like we come from different planets!

guys these days want to get married to women who don't work, who don't drive and stay at home, and i respect that ,,, at the end, everyone knows what he/she can live with and can't live without....but what really pisses me off ( mind my language) is, he gets engaged to someone who stays at home, with no connection to the outer world and in the same time he wants to be friends with female collogues!

This is what I call double standards, or I’m not sure what it should be called!

When I say friends, I don't mean the normal co-workers relationship of respect, i mean like real friends,.


Really, I don't get you guys!

Not knowing what to say

This happens alot to me, where i get caught up in situation where i don't know what to say or how to act, even though i know exactly what should be said or done, i just feel like i need to do more!.

my best friend's step mother had just died, she had cancer, who is his aunt in the same time.... and when i heard the news, i just got stuck,,,, what should i do now, what can i say to make it better for him, nothing i guess, but i know i wanna be there for him, but it's just hard.

he lost his mother to cancer years ago, and now his step mother,, it's hard for him and he's not the kind of people who shows his emotions,,, it's just hard!

God bless her soul and help him and his family getting through all this.

Changing Careers

I am at a point where i consider changing my career..... this didn't happen between a day and a night, I've been thinking about this possibility for months now, but i didn't take any serious step toward it.

but lately I've been contacted by one of the other departments at my company if i want to change my career and join their dept........at first i was like, emm this is a big change, i need to think it through, but come on till when I'm going to think everything through till the chance disappears.

but here is the situation, my current career is technical, and I've been doing it for 3 yrs now, and the other one is administrative.... why did i start thinking about changing my career is because as a girl in this field i don't have lots of option and i can't grow as fast as the guys, cuz all the work will go to the guys as well as the training.

I'm still not sure if i should take the step or not...hopefully all will be clear in the next few days!

wish me luck!

Chinese in Tripoli

Today i was craving some noodles ... so me and one of my friends (I'll be calling her S) decided to go out for lunch, and we decided to try out the new Chinese Restaurant in Gergaresh ( of course it was my idea, and surprisingly i didn't spend much time on convincing her..... well, she hates anything oriental, or we can say used to hate;) ).

anyway, we got out of work at 12, we spent around 30 min driving through the heavily busy Geragrish streets, we arrived at 12:30. The Place was nice, it's next to Ezmair Restaurant, and it's Called the New Chinese Restaurant, and for my surprise all the crew were all Chinese!! and they barely speak good English,,,, me and S had to guess some of the words they were saying , but i can say that the place was nice and the people there were nice.

they have normal menus and menus with pictures for people who aren't familiar with Chinese menu, i found that helpful.

the prices weren't that expensive but not that cheap as well.

We had a great time there.

Note: our boss must have been upset today, since both of us ( moi and S) were out for 2 hours instead of the one hour break :S...but SHHHH, don't tell anyone!

First Page

this is the first page ( post ) in my so little diary. nothing much to say at the moment, just playing with the layout and colors of this place!

i'm still using the basic theme and colors, but i'm looking for more dramatic look with more appealing colors .... and ofcousre i want that FREE, so this will take a while, since it will take me some time finding something cool and free.

now it's almost 5 and it's time to run back home.
