I Declare Holy Jihad As Well

On spam that is. These comments keep coming from "advertisers" in wierd languages unrecognisable in Google Translate. This is the first time I deal with spam, I do not know what to do.

Ideas, anyone?

The Repetition In Eid

Don't you all notice that we repeat the exact same cycle all the time (except on very few occasions)?

You Come To Visit Them

Ring bell a million times before they open. Wonder which men's hands you must shake first and which women you are allowed to shake hands with. Sit down, yawn and feel bored. Refuse the horrible "coffee" they serve you. Feel bored again. Try and eat the rock solid ma3moul covered in mountains of grounded sugar. Feel bored once more. Help yourself to the chocolates as you leave the house. Repeat.

They Come To Visit You

Answer the door. Greet guests. Watch people talk about politics and market prices. Serve "coffee". Get told off for not holding cups in right hand. Hearing people talking about boring subjects again. Serve your personally made rock solid ma3moul. More talking, boring as usual. Hurry after guests with chocolates. Close the door. Repeat.

And While You're Enjoying Eid...

Eid Mubarak To You All

I hope you have used this month well, as it only comes once a year, and you may not be alive to see it again. I hope all your good deeds in this month will be waiting for you on the Day of Judgement, multiplied many times, and your bad deeds forgiven.

Eid mubarak to you all, whether it is tommorow or after that, and remember to be easy on the ma3moul. Even if it is from Zalatimo.

Night Of Fate (Ulqadir)

I have just woken up at 3 PM, I have slept from 6 this morning. Our mosque actually was really good at making a schedule for the night, and it sticked to it as well.

The night started with the usual ishaa2 then taraweeh. I prayed four rukaa2 taraweeh then ran off to the nearby falafel shop, to watch Bab il-Hara 2. But as it got too crowded, I had to wait for the break and then run to our house to continue watching. Luckily our house is quite close and I got there just before the adverts finished.

I found the house full of babies. About 5 babies were inside and it seemed my mum had offered to do the babysitting for all my aunties. So I had to continue watching Bad il-Hara while hearing screams of Leen and putting the always-awake Nadeen to sleep.

I ran back and continued a few rukaa3 of taraweeh so the total would become 8. After that I went to the falafel shop, which was now empty, to drink a bit of Pepsi to keep awake. I drank a bit too much and felt sick, but at least that kept me awake for a few hours.

And then I got terribly sleepy, and by the end of sohoor (which was horribly dry), I went back home to have my real suhoor and then went to sleep, waking up at 3PM. So, now that I have told you my night, what did you do in yours?
