This update will simply hold nothing but my ramblings about anything & nothing! because i just wanna ramble…

This Harry Potter box set was the nicest gift ever from my DAD, i have been contacting Magrudy for a while now concerning this complete set, & they used to tell me its out of stock PLUS out of print… but thanks to Kinokuniya, they receieved a full load of them a couple of weeks after, Kinokuniya should issue membership cards, im kinda neglecting Magrudy ever since the later opened in Dubai… have i ever mentioned that my dream job is to work for Magrudys? you can add two more dream places, Kino & Tarjem …. & nope i didn’t apply to any

& yes i bought a 16Gig iPhone 3G, no, i don’t need it, especially that i have a very similar phone, HTC Touch HD, which is almost the same size, same functions & both are touch screen.. so what was i thinking? well, i simply wasn’t thinking, i just wanted it… it happens to all of you right?…

That’s my brother’s way of playing Monopoly, he’s Hamtaro & I’m Bullet Bill (it even has a Wiki page!) … don’t even ask how i know it’s name!!



Now that Ramadan is over, I can go back to reading books… I have so many that I dunno where to start from… I’ve planned to start reading the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter & the Sorcerer’s Stone... but as for Arabic, I am completely clueless… any suggestions?


Speaking of books, don’t you just LOVE it when your books shout “I’VE BEEN AGGRESSIVELY READ & ENJOYED” .. well i do … look at the textures! and just look at the red spine, SHANTARAM, it has been read twice, by me & my dearest Alwasl Girl… & if only i had my copy of Kane & Abel, the skin’s ripped off! (calling cousin N, if you have the copy & you’re not willing to read it, GIVE IT BACK, or else….. )

That’s so true, words from The Book Thief , a great read which i truly enjoyed, i 5′ed it on shelfari
And just before i forget, if you have a copy of Cecilia’s book, Thanks for the Memories, please take my word, DON’T READ IT, it’s boring… like so boring & predictable that i can’t believe i finished this book!.. it’s nothing compared to her other book, If You Could See Me…
Is it just me, or do you people become speechless & dumb found when someone gives you the like of this phrase :
“You actually READ books?! (la i eat them) but why? are you nuts?!… University books are more than enough…..Mash’Allah, good for you, but I’d never read books….etc”….
I’m 100% positive the majority of UAE national readers face such comments from people around them, and as sad as it is, the majority who have this mentality are EMIRATIES around me, not Indians, not Arabs, but Emiraties ..! seriously, whats wrong with this part of the world? are we enjoying the ignorance?.. we are Ummat Eqra’! books were not published for nerds & boring fellows, nor were they created to give you a pain in the stomach!… haven؛t you ever heard these words..
أمة لا تقرأ أمة لا ترقى
Listen to what these famous people of history said.. and think for a few seconds about our Arab world….

I am thankful that I come from a family of readers, and most of my friends are readers as well… having a book accomanying me everywhere has had a strong influence on non readers, i am glad that some people started to ask me for recommendations and became avid readers them selves…. trust me pals, by simply having a book in hand, you’ll make a difference…. and always keep this in mind and tell this to your children now or in the future…




Thank you for letting me know about ‘Thanks for the memories’. It so happens that I bought that book recently from an airport while travelling
now i am not even 0% motivated to read it
cute site and great job
add forum and publish it
advertise it and it will be success site
in my opinion passing thru life experience better than reading it in books
then you will feel, touch and live the issue
remember some people smile in your face but they dont mean it and others act normal but they carry alot of feelings for you
gad bless you
almshtaga.. Good luck with school, Hanat it’s you’re last year, do well if you wanna join a good uni.. & never mind shallow people around you… Shanataram is a nice book, ou should read it someday, but i guess one more read will tear it apart lol
Faith Allah ybarek feech

mabrook 4 the ipone .. .. but i still like htc
i remembered when some of the girls i now saw me reading in the class .. then she said to me ” do u read !!? .. i don’t like reading .. the school books are enough to read .. ” something like that …
i felt at that moment .. what happened with us .. ?!! why our people don’t like reading + don’t want to learn as if they are forest to .. .. ?
i feel that i want to read ur shantaram book .. .. cause u recommend many people .. to read it .. and cause of it’s eaten cover
school starts tomorrow .. :`( wish me luck this year .. & Da3awatcom all
lol Jinjal, how about you start with books that people keep on recommending? .. but before that, you have to find something that meets your interest, start with topics that interest you, 3shan matmleen .. & also, go for light reads as a start… novels like “a walk to remember” .. “if you could see me now”… “anne of green gables”…. these are very fast English reads .. as for fast paced Arabic books, go for “3ayza atgawwiz” … kash5a y’6a7k
ok , what can i read :/
I LUV books ,, kil marah awgaf sa3ah jdam el kitib wbl2a5er yftar rasiii wla a3arf sho a5eth w6la3 :S !

BTW, yesterday i purchased I-phone 3g S, white
but i don’t have a leather case

well said, friend.
without reading one is dead.
I remember that i was more happy when i used to read more books. come and see me now.. i feel forlorn, because i forsook my books for the sake of trivial reasons such as “stupid work”…
come and see my room.
it is messy but i don’t care as long as all my books are with meeeee.. they’re my babies. and i do cherish them so much.
books taught me a lot.
they accompanied me when i used to feel so lonely
they made me laugh until my stomach hurt
they made me cry so hard…
they made me contemplate the beauty of “thoughts”
نعمة التامل والتفكر سمة من سمات الانبياء
