What happens after everyone watches Arab Idol?!

What happens after everyone watches Arab Idol? Twitter is where they talk, and where they can express what they feel. People write about 1000 tweet in less than an hour. They talk, they say bad things, and then they say that Yusuf, and Carmen were great…

Let's talk about how they talk about Ahlam. There's a HUGE war between Ahlam, and the Youth of the Middle East every Friday, and Saturday night! They talk about her dress, her makeup, her jewelry, her voice, her husband, her kids, her airplane, her companies, and it got to the point when they talked about her maid! Ahlam can say some wired things every now and then, but she's still a human… They started to post some ''bad'' pictures about her. So I think that they're being very aggressive. But what can we say? She has to control herself a little bit, but people won't change!

Some of the tweeters stay up all night just to tweet about the show. Let me be honest with you and I'll tell you the full truth. I watch Arab Idol just to keep up with the gossip that will happen at the school in the next day. First period is about Arab Idol, whether we have an important subject or not, we will still talk! Arab Idol have become a big entertainment source for everyone!

Hassan's smile. Ahlam's clothes. Ragheb's kindness. Annabelle's dresses. Abdullah's excitement. All of these things will be the center of attention tomorrow. So…what will Nancy wear at Saturday night?

التوأم

كانت الساعة ٣:٥٠ فجراً بالتوقيت الشرقي لأمريكا. صحيت على رسالة من صديقتي تذكرني بموعدي الساعة الرابعة (اي أنه كان بعد عشر دقائق) لمقابلة بعض الطالبات اونلاين من خلال مكالمة سكايب للحديث عن تجربتي في الأمم المتحدة. كان الجو بارداً جداً، و الضباب يغطي الجبال التي عادةً ما أراها من نافذتي. اخذت وقتي و ببطء أعددت كوب القهوة الصباحية، و حتى لا أزعج زميلتي اليابانية في الغرفة، خرجت بهدوء للصالة. بين كوب القهوة السوداء الحار الذي انسكب هنا و هناك، و بين حملي للابتوب و الشاحن و الهاتف، جلست على الكنبة الخضراء الجديدة و فتحت حسابي في سكايب إستعداداً لهذا اللقاء الذي حدث قبل حوالي سنة، و حقاً لم أعلم حينها أنني كنت على وشك مقابلة أحد أكثر الشخصيات تميزاً (و حرفياً و فعلياً) تشابهاً في حياتي. قابلتهم بالصدفة من خلال ذاك اللقاء. من بين عشرات الطالبات الآتي شاركن في النقاش في تلك المكالمة، كان هناك شيءٌ مختلف لاحظته في هذا التوأم. اتذكر إنبهاري بهم و إعجابي بهذه الشخصية الرائعة التي إنقسمت بين شخصين بالتساوي. دائماً ما نقابل أناسٌ ننبهر من عقولهم و تفكيرهم منذ اللقاء الأول، و لكن هذه كان...

Two Days With Dad يومان مع والدي

*This blog post was written only two days before my dear father's accident -may he rests in peace-. *هذا المقال كُتب يومان فقط قبل وفاة والدي الحبيب رحمه الله Tears may express both happiness and sadness. A shaking voice can describe either fear or sorrow. A shivering body can describe all of the mentioned above. But what if, only if at one point in life, all of these emotions combine together to crash the human's body? What if our emotions can break our hearts in a second, then build them back again in the next? الدموع قد تعبر عن كلا السعادة و الحزن. الصوت المكسور قد يعبر عن الخوف و الأسى. الجسم المرتعش قد يعبر عن جميع ما ذكر بالأعلى. و لكن ماذا إذا، فقط إذا في وقفة معينة في الحياة، كل هذه المشاعر تجتمع سوياً لتكسر جسد الإنسان؟ ماذا إذا كانت مشاعرنا قادرة على كسر قلوبنا في لحظة، و إعادة بنائها في الثانية التي تليها؟ Goodbyes are meant to happen to everyone. As I grow up, I realize how hard they can be depending on whom I'm saying goodbye to....

"Glocal" at the United Nations Youth Assembly

Those who dream, will definitely achieve. The efforts we put into chasing our goals will be recognized. Our faith in God, and those long nights praying with so much hope in our hearts. The taste of accomplishment, that happiness, the laughter, oh and those tears of pure joy. Standing up for the right, and fighting for the good. We were all born great, but at the end of the day, it is up to us to realize that greatness and use it proactively. Nobody’s better than the other, we are made different so we can come together and join those differences together for our own good. If we’re the same, then competing will never get us anywhere, because “team work makes the dream work” according to a great wise friend of mine. Working hand by hand to reach the finish line will get us further and further in life. This past week, I had the honor to be the Saudi Delegate to the United Nations Youth Assembly, and this is the story of how this week t...
