Flat Tyre and PinkBerry?

I bet you've already guessed the connection from the title between a flat tyre and PinkBerry?

just to change the mood from the recent posts that I have blogged, I decided to blog about something happy, well almost.

You probably saw the ads in the paper about opening a new branch of PinkBerry in Muscat City Center , Oman.-located near Chili's restaurant &  the food court- and people are already going crazy over it, including me. I mean who wouldn't? it's Food!

I was so excited so I was speeding and got the flat tyre. faj3ana* much? 

here's the flat tyre pic

a flat tyre.. SERIOUSLY!

 and it was all worth it:

 TADAAA

sorry you might have to reposition your head to see the picture ! my bad I was too excited to eat than take a properly-human-like pix! maybe next time I'm going I'll take better pictures. promise. 

ok moment of truth, the two things are not connected by any sort and happened on two different days, I was just goofing around in finding a silly story to bring up pinkberry ! lol and regarding the flat tyre, it happened by accident from a nail on the street, so it has nothing to do with me speeding up. I was actually taking a turn when it happened. I was lucky because it happened just a minute away from home so I was safe and nothing serious happened.

Cheers,

*faj3ana: is a word used to describe how overly impressed & excited a person can be with something for the first time, usually used with food.

Egyptian Revolution sense of humor

There have been many jokes, pranks and stories after the Egyptian Revolution of 2011. Many have called it the humorous revolution for what the people of Egypt have carried out through the protests and their sense of humor in doing so. In this post I'll present several videos on which were done by Egyptians during the revolution and I thought they were hilarious. 

The first video was done by an Egyptian blogger and movie maker called Ashraf Hamdy (blog). His latest videos was about a recently famous internet activist called Wael Ghonim. (twitter). After his release from  prison and getting interviewed in a numerous number of channels he was accused of many things which was summarized in this video in a sarcastic way. The original video is in Arabic but I managed to find an English subtitled version.

 (Arabic version ) الحقيقة وراء وائل غنيم

The truth behind Wael Ghonim (English subtitled version )

Another video that I would like to share was a clip from a TV report done by BBC Arabic news channel (website, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook). It was a summary of what happened during the Revolution and the humorous parts of it. Unfortunately I couldn't find the video on their official Youtube channel, so the video was uploaded several times online by random people. I'm still searching for a subtitled version though.

So what do you think? I personally salute every Egyptian that went through these rough times and was able to make a joke out of it. I can't imagine how hard it must have been to fight claiming your rights and seeking your freedom.

This post will be updated with new video clips when I get more. please don't hesitate to share with me any video you think is worth watching.

cheers,

What democracy means to "Gaddafi"!!

Do you remember this special dude in the photo?

I just came across a really funny youtube video of  This dude who is : Muammar Al-Gaddafi , the de facto leader of Libya  and thought of sharing it with you guyz.

it was part of an interview conducted by Aljazeera channel and I'm not really sure when it was aired exactly, so here's the video :

I didn't find a subtitled version of the video so I'll translate what he generally said in it.

He basically was playing an Arabic language genius trying to explain what the word democracy really means. It means -he says- "demo-karasy" , demo as in dohama2 = meaning idiots and Karasy means chairs in Arabic. so According to him, the elected presidents out of democratic elections are basically idiots elected to sit on their chairs!

yes it sounds really stupid and it's one of the many "great" things this dude says! just youtube him!

quick update, I got this reply on twitter after I posted my blog which really is true and I couldn't agree more about it since Gaddafi himself was on the "chair" of power for over 40 years! the comment was via @3abdulaziz :

There's no-one who exemplifies his definition than him, he has been in power (in kursy) for more than 40 years!

cheers,
