Saudi Byte ... From a Saudi Girl to Saudi Men

أنت منذ الصغر تتباهى بملابسك البيضاء، المكوية بعناية شديدة و بالغترة البيضاء

الغارقة في "النشاء" و التي تعطيك إطلالة جميلة و هيبة تدل على الترتيب و التأنق

و تبعد عنك حرارة الشمس الحارقة.

أنا من الصغر و في سن الشقاوة و اللعب "أتكعبل" بالعباءة السوداء التي تجذب أشعة الشمس،

و التي في أحيان كثيرة تجعلني أصل لدرجة الغليان ...

Movie Byte ... Mseebeh

Yet another short movie by my friend Basel ...

Movie Byte ... A Warmer Shade of Gray

After two years on the dusty shelf ... Abeer here decided that enough is enough :)

Here is my first attempt (with a group of course) to make it into the movie business ...




I hope you can enjoy it ... it was done in a rush with the efforts of only two members of the team in the final days (I was busy with moving to our new house) ...

More Here. I hope you can enjoy it.

Saudi Byte ... Internet Wisdom

الخلاصة

إن نظام ترشيح وحجب المحتويات المعمول به في المملكة يسبب قدراً ضئيلاً من الإزعاج لمستخدمي الإنترنت في المملكة، وأحياناً لا يسبب أي إزعاج، ولكنه مقابل ذلك يحمي الكثير من المستخدمين من المحتويات المؤذية والعدوانية التي يمكن أن تصل إليهم عبر الإنترنت. لذا، فإن نظام ترشيح وحجب محتويات الإنترنت سيتم الحفاظ عليه وتحسينه في المملكة مستقبلاً

ما الواجب تذكره عند التدوين؟

عليك تذكر شيئين قبل أن تبدأ بكتابة ونشر مقلاتك الخاصة بك:

إذا كانت مدونتك الإلكترونية عامة فإن بإمكان الجميع قراءة مقالاتك بما فيهم والدك، معلمك، جارك و مديرك الحالي والمستقبلي في العمل، وقبل هذا كله عليك مراقبة الله - جل وعلا - في كل ما تكتب.

يمكن العثور على أي شيء قمت بإرساله إلى شبكة الإنترنت حتى لو قمت فيما بعد بإزالة المادة الأصلية من موقعك الإلكتروني.

وبناء عليه ينصح بالتفكير بجدية في كل مقالة داخل المدونة الإلكترونية وكل تعليق تكتبه على شبكة الإنترنت، واسأل نفسك السؤال التالي: ماذا يمكن أن يحصل على سبيل المثال إذا كان بمقدور والدك أو مديرك في العمل الاطلاع على مقالك أو تعليقاتك في (أ) الوقت الحالي أو (ب) بعد 10 سنوات من الآن؟

Personal Byte ... The Embarrass-yourself- like-Rambling Hal Tag

hmmmmmmm ...

1- I love cooking ... in fact i dont just love it ... i am very good at it ... but i dont share it here because certain people do that all the time and i dont want anything to do with them ...

2- I wash my hands like 30 times a day ... sometimes i wake up from my sleep to wash my hands ...

3- I am actually considering hair implants ... or anything that would give me my hair back ...

4- I actually watch star academy ... but this year i dont have the time ...

5- I have the loudest sneeze ever ...

6- I was so lazy as a kid ... I never got a wound that needed stitches or a bruise that needed a cast or a band ... not one thing ...

7- and last but not least ... i failed more than 70 credits in university ... and i know that qualifies me to be really dumb but sadly i am not ...

there you have it ... tag yourself if u want to ...

Funny Byte ... Another common thing between Americans and Arabs

It's good to know we are not alone in this world.

Saudi Byte ... Red means stop

Just your dosage of regular shit from the kingdom of lunacy.

I avoid going out on V-day and the couple of days before it to stay out of all th fuss.

Thank God for the internet.

Adab Byte ... A Farewell Letter by Gabriel Garcia Marqeuz

Easy ... He is not dead yet ... but they say the great writer has health issues ... and he is in his bed now ... he wrote this letter ... which I would like to share ... I read it and I was Speechless ... If Marquez feels this way about his life , how should we feel ?


A Farewell Letter


If for an instant God were to forget that I am rag doll and gifted me with a piece of life,

possibly I wouldn't say all that I think,

but rather I would think of all that I say.

I would value things,


not for their worth but for what they mean.

I would sleep little, dream more,

understanding that for each minute we close our eyes we lose sixty seconds of light.

I would walk when others hold back.

I would wake when others sleep.

I would listen when others talk,

and how I would enjoy a good chocolate ice cream!

If God were to give me a piece of life,

I would dress simply,

throw myself face first into the sun,

baring not only my body but also my soul.

My God, if I had a heart, I would write my hate on ice,

and wait for the sun to show.

Over the stars I would paint with a Van Gogh dream a Benedetti poem,

and a Serrat song would be the serenade I'd offer to the moon.

With my tears I would water roses,


to feel the pain of their thorns,

and the red kiss of their petals.

My God, if I had a piece of life...

I wouldn't let a single day pass without telling the people I love that I love them.

I would convince each woman and each man that they are my favorites,

and I would live in love with love.

I would show men how very wrong they are to think that they cease to be in love when they grow old,

not knowing that they grow old when they cease to love!

To a child I shall give wings,

but I shall let him learn to fly on his own.

I would teach the old that death does not come with old age,

but with forgetting.

So much have I learned from you, oh men...

I have learned that everyone wants to live on the peak of the mountain,

without knowing that real happiness is in how it is scaled.


I have learned that when a newborn child squeezes for the first time with his tiny fist his father's finger,

he has him trapped forever.

I have learned that a man has the right to look down on another only when he has to help the other get to his feet.

From you I have learned so many things,

but in truth they won't be of much use,

for when I keep them within this suitcase,

unhappily shall I be dying.

~GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ~
