Materialistic Women and Families

Here is a piece of information about Emirati women and how they treat their men.

If the man is perfect (that's a rarity as woman always want more things and mafee shay e3jebhom!), he would get everything he wants and the woman would be always smiling or cooking or whatever and then telling her friends about the latest gift he got her, or where he took her last weekend. Yes, he should never forget the gifts, holidays, cars, etc.

Now this is my favorite part, if the guy is not really nice, like for example if he didn't get her a gift on a birthday or decided they're not going abroad in the summer…

Her first instinct would be to: spend his money, as much as she can, waste it right and left, she don't have really like something, just buy everything you feel like you want or you don't want.

This is getting so sick to the point that a father would come to his kids and be like "I'm not taking you anywhere for the summer, but I will give you a certain amount of money" The kids would be happy with that; they all should be slapped, father and children.

Everything is materialistic and kids are growing up with that, their parents don't want to spend time with them and therefore pay them for that time, when the time they would have spent together as a family is not something to be traded for money.

That would be a first instinct, if he didn't learn from that then come other kind of punishments that I really don't know much about, but I know if she knows what she's doing, she won't be stupid enough to, for example, kick him out of the house, no, she would be doing something more torturous such as talking to him, then talking some more.

Women drive me crazy, I swear. Just by the time you figure out how their minds work, yours stop working.

This might not make much sense, but I have to go back to my studies.

The red devil!



Whoever read Biz's blog already knows how crazy the weekend was (It actually was crazier but I can't say more about it here)

My almost favorite part was on the way back from Alain and the party we had in the car because of all the cars going to Al Ahli and Wihda team! We took few pictures but they were not really good and then decided we need to do something and join the party so we found some red baby balloons and whenever we see a car designed coming we open the window and throw some out. I know that might not have been a good idea for a highway but it was fun and I don't think the people in the other cars minded, if they did… they need to chill.


Al Ahli won and they played very well, we were cheering all through the game except for the few people who were with Wihda, and by the way, I think Wihda didn't deserve that goal they got, yes, they didn't and that's exactly why they scored a goal for Al ahli by mistake.

Note: I know this is a little late but I have final exams!



In the exam today, the teacher kept smiling and smiling and I just couldn't stop thinking 'Stop smiling, it's not funny, please leave.'

It's a red, white and blue world

That wall behind them is where we start the tour and it's an American history timeline


Then there're some historical figures and Biz wrote: "These men were welling to make a difference, they indeed made a change" Then there are some posters that were sent to us by the Embassy about America 24/7, they're actually pretty interesting.

THIS IS OUR KITCHEN and it's all HANDMADE by us, we did everything, painted the wall, made the kitchen cabinets and over from foam, drew the window and did the floor too, this part took forever to finish but we were so happy and proud of the outcome. Now if anyone wants a kitchen just give me a call. We also got some 'America food' mainly brownies and cookies and red apples and lemonade, plus this was a very good reason for us to get Starbucks and McDonald's every now and then. Few novels were also put on one of the shelves.

Then come the American map that I posted earlier, we also did it ourselves and thought it wouldn't come out okay but it looks so nice if I may say so.



Hollywood!! It's not clear in this picture! And some random pictures about the 'American culture'

Today when we went to university we found our gate broken and thrown outside because the whole festival is over, it's just sad that we worked so hard on it and now it's over. I'm sorry some of these pictures are not so clear, I might change them if I get any better ones.

Have fun.

In God We Trust



Every two years or so the university holds a global village kind of thing in which students from all the different countries and students associations participate and each do their own country.

Two years ago, my group did part of UAE and it came out great, and this year the made us choose between UAE and USA, we chose USA because when we did UAE some American students helped us, so we're going to help them. Also because we wanted to send a message to everyone about USA and most importantly educate the students about it.

I thought that some people might not really like that idea, I just didn't expect them to fight it this way – people are so stupid and ignorant.

It first started with students talking in the hostels about it, and then cuss words were written on our gate (a guard was put to make sure that's not done again). I thought it's all about students not being educated enough or open-minded to get it, but then employees in the university started talking about it. Two military vehicles were put in the university, one is like the first one from the UAE to enter Iraq in the gulf war or something and the other one was Sheikh Zayed's Allah yurhamu, and rumors came out that some American Military vehicles with American flags on them were parked in the university – some people are just too lame.

And when the American flag, along with all the other countries' flags were put in the university, and all around it, people really hated us.

The opening was last Monday and we were so proud and happy of the outcome, everyone loved it and Sheikh Nahyan liked it to the point that we got him to mark all the places he have been to in America on the map we made.

After that, it was open for everyone and got so crowded, and our corner had the most action and fights, students would come in yelling at us, to the point that I thought some of them would start breaking things, but then we would take them in a tour and explain everything to them and they would love it and thank us before they leave. I was surprised by how much people don't know about the US, and yet they hate it so much, some students went on to say things like 'we didn't know there were Muslims in America!' 'I didn't know there were Masjids in America!' etc.
The funniest thing so far is how so many students when asked who was the first man to step on the moon say 'the Saudi Sheikh Sultan…' he was not the first, and he didn't even go to the moon, they paid two billions for him to just go the space.

To be continued…

They lighten our days

A two year old and four year old girls heard their mother more than once say something like 'close the door before mosquitoes fill the house!' so once, they were playing in the background and their dad kept checking on them and doing something in the house, usually leaving the door open so he can hear them, but by mistake, he closed it once and when he came back out, the four year old said 'baba, you closed the door on us!'
Two year old: 'He thought we're mosquitoes!'



Same two and four year old were playing in a room while their aunt was praying.
Two year old to three year old: 'you farted!'
Four year old: 'no I didn't!'
Two year old: 'yes you did!'
Four year old: 'if I didn't, and you didn't, then it must me Aunt X!'

…Aunt X is praying.
Still praying.




A three year old girl and after her first day in school came back home and while playing with her dad screamed: 'baba! You're 7mar! (Donkey!)'

The father was so shocked that he just laughed because he knew she didn't mean it. It's one of three:
1. She didn't know what's a 7mar or donkey.
2. She love donkeys and it was only a way of showing her love.
3. She had an Egyptian teacher who told them calling someone a donkey in Egypt is a good thing.
