Arab vs Arab
» ‎ I'll Have One of Those

There is something that has come to my attention. Something I have noticed in the past, but was not too concerned about. Today, however, this frightens me quite a bit. It is the hatred we Arabs have for one another. When you live abroad, it is only natural to assume that people who share a common background will bond. However, this is not necessarily true and can be very untrue depending on where you are from. Not many people bring this up because it can make situation quite awkward, but...

Stepping Out
» ‎ I'll Have One of Those

I thought it was high time to write another entry to this blog. This time, however, I will try to discuss a matter that is prevalent in all societies and all human relationships. I call it "stepping out". Have you ever noticed that at times dealing with the people in your life gets really tiresome and can even serve to drain you emotionally. It is usually a situation that is quite difficult to deal with. For me, it has always been about tackling the problem head on, surging forward and...

Superficial? Who Knows...
» ‎ I'll Have One of Those

Gucci, Gucci, Prada ya ya? Today, I have chosen to write on the phenomenon that is the superficiality of the Arab. Those who may or may not have the means to practice what I call art of "showing off". Why does the average gulf Arab feel the need to prove him/herself via materialism? I don't think I will ever be able to understand this. This feature is one thing Arabs have in common with rich African Americans; the need to flaunt your wealth for all to see, using yourself and any form of...

Relationships and the Modern Arab Woman
» ‎ I'll Have One of Those

Interesting choice of topic no? Well, we all know that the modern Arab woman suffers from a warped mentality. We want to be modern, yet we don't want to let go of traditional values, the values that save us from being cheap...or like any other living breathing female on God's green earth. As you can see, there is already a conflict here in the psyche of the Middle Eastern, more specifically the Gulf Arab female. We all know that dating is socially unacceptable. You, over there, woman in...

Whose Loss?
» ‎ I'll Have One of Those

This is a matter I have wanted to discuss for quite a long time now. The French embassy in Bahrain is an inept disaster area. First of all, let me just be frank. These people do not want us anywhere near their countries; or at least that is what we are to understand from their barbaric and rather uncivilized visa application process. From their behavior, it can be concluded that they aim to make attaining a visa as difficult as it possibly can be in order to limit the number of rag head sand...

Indian Children
» ‎ I'll Have One of Those

In the papers this week there have been several reports on the deaths of an Indian brother and sister. There has also been much speculation as to the cause of their deaths. Today, the CID declared that it was, in fact, pesticide poisoning. The strange thing here is that yesterday's papers included a snippet on this stating that the father of the pair JUST realized that his children's deaths could have been linked to the fact that their neighbour had had his apartment sprayed the same day....
