Fantasized Reality

u know how u can hear a story and suddenly the world is an ugly place? well i just experienced that…baba was in reyadh for the weekend visiting family o he was telling us stories over dinner one of which has me sobbing till now..the story is long so i’ll spare u the details but here’s the part that killed me: a 12 year old girl has divorced parents, she doesn’t want to live with her mom cause she’s a “bad” person and she’s ashamed of her so she’s living with the dad..the dad doesn’t pay much attention to her and is very stingy..he picks her up from school every day drops her off at her aunts and doesn’t pick her up till bed time..one day the dad picks her up from school and heads straight home, he doesn’t have any food prepared and the fridge is empty, the girl goes to bed hungry wakes up the next day and tells her dad she’s starving and would like a sandwitch..the dad starts yelling at her! calls her ungrateful and actually pulls out a gun (not pointing it at her but lifts it as if he’s gona smack her with it)!!! the girls closes her mouth and says nothing..weeks later he dad travels and leaves her with her aunts…the girl begs her aunts to allow her to live with them and tells them the whole story and begs them not to tell the dad out of fear…are u in tears yet??

can someone please explain to me what an ugly twisted world this is?

if a girl doesn’t feel safe with her own DAD who is she supposed to feel safe with??

i can’t stop sobbing..i’m actually eb 7ethn baba right now sobbing..i keep thinking what a GREAT dad mine is and it saddens me that not many ppl have that..i LOVE baba i would DIE for baba cause i’ve never felt safe as i do when with him, never felt loved as much as by him and when i think of a girl out there who doesn’t have HALF of what i have i can’t seem to stop crying

ana eb 7ethn baba right now o maskeen adry ena ta3ab men el wazn ely 3alai bas i don’t want to leave and he’s not complaining cause he’s BABA :***

we’re enjoying om kalthoum which is not helping the crying but i wouldn’t trade this for the world

watching king kong with baba..i luv this movie..just consumed a brownie a la mode with 2 scoops o chocolate mousse royal ice cream: CALORIES!

so i’ve come to realize that my parents are just amazing! they’re freakin cool and strange and i like it..ok they can get on my nerves sometimes but they’re worth it therefore, i have decided to allocate posts featuring Mama o Baba..

Baba

Incident 1:

I was out with Mama o we were bel sal7eya, my cousin’s wedding was in a week and i decided to make a stop at al-arbash to check out an earring..while there i saw a pair of GORGEOUS diamond earrings worth 20,000 KD..i knew baba would say no but i thought i would give it a shot so i sent him the following:

Me “eshkether et7ebny?”

Baba “50 fils only”

apparently he knew i was @ al-arbash

Incident 2:

Baba has this couple he has been friends with for over 16 years, a few years ago the wife was diagnosed with cancer and she was having surgery to have a tumor removed…baba flew to the US for the surgery and flew back to q8 the next day..isn’t he the cutest thing??

Incident 3:

we were all sitting together last night and baba was telling us about this conference he just attended in qatar…while there, he ran into 3 women who used to work for him but he didn’t recognize them cause they were all bargoo3s now (neqab, burga3 whatever u call it)..they came up to him said hi and my dad says (bear in mind that my dad is AGAINST bargoo3s):

“tara alla amar bel setr 7ag el mara ely taften mo entaw chel7an o 7alatkom 7ala o emgha6een wyoohkom 3ala sheno?”

HARSH MUCH?

ok my dad’s not mean i swear he’s not and if u heard him say it u’d be laughing..well at least the women started giggling at his comment

i got this unusual comment from someone today “why are u always happy?” because i am! i’m generally a happy person, life is good or as i always reply “el denya 7elwa” we get lost but we find our way, we get hurt but we heal, we get kicked down but we brush ourselves off and stand up again (u see where i’m going)..with all the drama that i’ve seen and all the heartache i STILL believe that life is good..i can just listen to a song while driving o moody eta3adal 3ala 6oool..i smile and it makes me feel better..

i just realized that there’s no point to this post i just wanted to sprinkle some happy dust!

greet the world with ur biggest, brightest smile and it will smile back

i think i’m back

drama ALL around
