Kathem as well...

A very touching song by Kathem Al Saher. It speaks to Lebanese and Palestinians as much as it to Iraqis.

Divide and Conquer, A very effective British/US Policy. Its latest victims: Lebanon, Palestine and Iraq.

Julia, Again!!!!

the Video clip of Ahibba2i.

Ghareeb.

Gareeb wakes up one Saturday morning, performs his morning prayers, and looks over his inbox for a few minutes. Then he dozes off on his couch. He Then hears a bird singing outside his window; the sound is identical to that he used to hear outside his window during the peaceful weekend mornings in his hometown in Lebanon. So for a few seconds, just a few, he gets snatched out of place and time and could almost smell his mother's breakfast....... Then, he just coldly smiles and tries to extend those seconds as long as possible, for he realizes it was just another dream.

I have been asked to post this website. again www.hirelebanese.com
It could help fellow Lebanese better their chances getting jobs.
Its definitely worth checking.

Moving On.

Life demands Changes all the time. Some changes are embraced with open arms (such as a great career move), while others are reluctantly accepted; we can't always pick and choose, I guess. But some must things tag along.

It doesn’t matter if I move from Dearborn, MI to Columbus, IN (An excruciating 6 hours drive, done three times in one month. But not so excruciating when you are on the phone, talking to people in Libnan half of the way.), some things can not be left behind under any circumstance.

Such as my very loyal, beloved and durable mountain bike; bought in 2000, I think. For some reason, I just can not leave it behind. Maybe because it was one of the first few things I paid for it with my OWN money. I was going to ship it to Lebanon or Dubai when I leave BTW. It is funny how we get attached to some of our belonging sometimes.

Then there is my drink of choice. Chai (Falet akeed) or Zhoorat (min eeden il hajje bi libnen). The choice depends on the day of the week, the weather, how I feel that day, ect. Not to forget, ofcourse, the tea pot (ibri2 ichai) just like the one we get in libnan; No american designs, otherwise it might taste differently :).. and finally, brown sugar ot (preferable, but essential)

One wishes that dragging roommates and some friends along could have been as easy.

Life goes on.....
