Ugly Betty

November 4th, 2008 · 4 Comments

I’ve been watching Ugly Betty since the very first season (season 3 is now currently being aired).  I loved the show from episode 1 and still do.  I am not much of a TV person but do enjoy shows which are funny, interesting and have some sort of moral to it all.  The show is [...]

Hmm I wonder

October 13th, 2008 · 8 Comments

I got tagged by Mama Mona to do this tag on the bloggers I wonder about.  She tagged me ages ago but I was super busy with everything else and didn’t have the time to post about it.  I spent two days thinking if I wonder about bloggers or not and realized I sort of [...]

Just thoughts

September 11th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I was thinking and just decided to post this as a rant.  I was thinking about women’s issues in general because of the Kolena Layla campaign (if I can call it that).  I love empowered women.  I tried to start blogging about great examples of Egyptian women a while back and got stuck.  I still [...]

August 27th, 2008 · 8 Comments

I absolutely loved this post on Noor Mania.
I watched a couple of episodes when I was back in Egypt, when I travelled back to Kuwait and tried watching at home my husband put his foot down and said “No”.  I have to tell you that he rarely ever says “no” and usually just fools me [...]

Being the geek that I am, I was looking for El 3ashera Masa2an website in search of more information on something I had seen. A powerful TV show like that should have a website right? Apparently the big folks at Dream don’t think so. I am not sure why? Actually I am [...]

Sometimes in the evening …

June 22nd, 2008 · 4 Comments

I turn on some music (Omar Faruk Tekbilek - One Truth Album), take out the coldest Diet Pepsi in the fridge and close my eyes and am amazingly moved to a different place in the world.  My own world, where I don’t change diapers, where I still have a high rolling career and where the [...]

Neverland vs. Wonderland

May 31st, 2008 · 3 Comments
