Mothers crack me up when it comes to…


Share on Facebook

Job Interviews

Location: Our living room
Time: 11 something pm
Scene: Sister asleep in her room, mother watching Noor which is about to end in few mins, I’m on my macbook preparing an updated resume/portfolio.

  • Mother: Habibi, what time is your job interview tomorrow?
  • Myself: I have 3, one at 9 am, 3 pm the last one undecided yet.
  • Mother: YOU HAVE 3 INTERVIEWS AND YOU ARE GOING LIKE THIS? *mothers looks at me*

My hair is short and you can actually see that I’m kind of balding, blonde hair ends, I have an upper left ear piercings alot with my left ear, right ear and my right eyebrow pierced and my goatee looks like a kite. I’m planning to wear a white Blouzaat T-shirt that says “The high tax that humanity pays” in Arabic and GAP jeans shorts, along with my Adidas sneakers.

  • Myself: Yes mama, esh fee? Not like it is a big deal and the latest two piercings are new ma bagdar asheelhom! besakro…
  • Mother *almost fainting*: Keef!! Mama for job interviews you have to shave your beard and also trim your hair even though it is short and take off your piercings. Also, wear formal clothes and behave.
  • Myself: MAMA! I’m not applying for a job at a bank! I’m a designer, applying for a job as a designer at advertising agencies. DESIGNERS LOOK THE WAY THEY WANT!
  • Mother: Are you sure they won’t kick you out?
  • Myself: MAMA! IT IS NOT LIKE I NEVER HAD A JOB BEFORE, I HAD CONSTANT JOBS FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS! EASY CHILL!

Mother went babbling *akeed ma ra7 yen2abel… ma berod, mashkalji w 3aneed…*

I think designers’ mothers get freaked out. I mean, not all of us look different, but most of us do. It is required! you can’t be a designer and normal at the same time! and it is not like I’m in KSA or Iran, I’m in liberal Kuwait. Anyways I hope I like the offers today! too bad it’s only a summer job.

What do you think of designers?

Dating… online? Emmm?


Share on Facebook

Many people who tried online dating were exposed to the fact that the person they knew online is not the same person they met in real life.

My 5 groosh…

I think online hook-ups/relationships are no different than any other kind, dating a person you met online is just like dating a person from work. It is not any different, all relationships involve some sort of risk.

I’ve had online relationships, some failed and some didn’t, however that doesn’t mean Internet dating doesn’t work, what worries me is the anonymity which allows you to create any personality you want to be, some make it totally unlike themselves in real life and they could fool everybody if they want to.

It is all happening just because the Internet is the latest and most convenient tool of communication. People sometimes (example: my mother, your mother, his mother… mothers in general) think it’s a joke to find potential partners on the Internet.

Yet there are many married couples who have met their love through it (my cousin did…)

I guess arranged marriages do not work well anymore? I do not believe in them…

Update: I called the featured members off because everyone is having guest posts on their blogs. and I do not copy.
