I added some explanation posts(okay just 1 or 2 :) ) and the tutorials are coming soon.

    Let me know what you think…I really hope someone would find it useful..

Web Designers and Developers might not find a problem since they can flip it themselves in couple of hours depending on the design itself.

    The other part of Arab Bloggers (the majority) do not have the enough skills to do such tasks. So we end up with:

    1. A very limited number of RTL themes that we see everywhere (especially Blogger)
    2. And the many many LTR (left-to-right) themes that simply don’t look nice with the Arabic content (although usually they’re very beautifull themes)

    The ideal solution I want? Is to convince all of the web designers and developers of the world to include an RTL version of their themes! :D We have to wait for that a really long time..

    So what can we do? communicate! We can share our ideas and skills to help enriching this poor space of the web. There are really beautifull themes out there and they will look even more beautifull if they fit well with our Arabic content.

    I will start hopefully before the end of this year to share my own tips and tricks on how to deal with the RTL side of the web. I’m not a guru, and I’m not a pro, but I want to share what I know and learn what you know. I have thought of naming this learning experience “RTL This”. What do you think? I’d love to know your opinion..

It doesn’t bother me actually since I kind of like it :D . But what’s bothering me about the Lebanese People is how divided, secatrian and full of false patriotism we have become lately. Even with the only thing we’re good at…partying!

    Last Sunday (First day of the Eid), we were simply starving at 11 PM. By chance, we went to” Dahab , Bchara El Khoury” (not the night club Gold, the restaurant version). We found out (by chance too) that there’s a “party” -of course-. Some guy on keyboards and another one who started to sing along with him. The guy was clearly drunk, but he was hilarious and did have a nice voice. The audience (us included) was happy and singing and dancing with him.

    The performer started to sing patriotic songs -of course- and the audience got more excited -of course-. Not because they loved the great country of Lebanon, but because he started to change the song for each region (Jnoub, Baalbak, Shmall, Jabal, Beirut..etc). So in less than a minute, I knew where each group came from.

    Not just that, I knew their political orientation as well..Yes dear reader, the “YEAAAAH” of the Lebanese Party Person comes along with hand gestures that might seem retarded to non Lebanese (even to me they are) where they declare which moron they support.

    And to be sure on how divided we are, the singer decided to mention President Suleiman and the Army of course..they didn’t get much “support” but when he switched to the song of the Syrian series “Bab Alhara”(I swear he sang it) the whole audience went crazy!! I mean WTH people!!!!!

    We claim we care about Lebanon but we don’t give a damn. We only party like hell!!

    Happy Eid everyone!

    The virtual and the real..

    Yes I still insist on categorizing them as two completely different lives…and I’m going to keep it this way.

    You see most of my “online/blog” friends are people I’ve never met..and I met the other few online/through the blog. My “real” friends are the people I know or met through these 23 years of my life. I chose the terms “real” and “virtual” simply because these are the terms used. But believe me…I have “virtual” friends who are to me..much more “real” friends.

    Why I chose to separate both? Simply because I can’t handle merging them together..here’s why..

    My blogging experience started in 20062005 with a lousy MSN live “space” that included nothing but photos and stupid diaries. I did because it integrated well with the MSN live messenger (what was I thinking :S). It was just a way to stay connected with my friends in Egypt when I left there…it was like my FaceBook page back then..

    Then I met the first blogger (gr33ndata)..and throuh his blog, I got introduced to the wonderful world of blogging.. By time, I began to write a bit more seriously..I remember the first post I was ever proud of (and still) ; it was a really pissed off post about “Sexual Harrassement” where I wrote about the first time I was harrassed..the incident that NO ONE knew about ..

    At this point, I knew that through the blog, I can talk about stuff I can’t talk about in the “real” world…I deleted the MSN space..and moved to blogspot; Simply because people wouldn’t understand…It might sound a stupid reason, trust me it’s not.

    You see, I’m a person who’s known as the “girl-who’s-always-lauging” (or La Vache Qui Rie :P ), noone ever saw me crying (I make sure they don’t).  Where in my blog, I’m free, I can be sad, angry, depressed, happy, great, silly, in love…etc without worrying about silly comments or looks the other day. People here are honest (sometimes too much :D ) and genuine.

    It’s true that I keep a line between both worlds..but at the same time I don’t hide them..most of you guys know my real name (it’s Layal :) ). I just don’t mention my blogging experience in “real” social gatherings. And most importantly, I don’t have my blog link in my FaceBook page, and I don’t have my FaceBook page link here…

    The interesting thing is that I mentioned in a job interview that I own a blog(didn’t give the URL though)..and it somehow got me the job I have now ;)

    I wrote this because I wanted to know if this is a common thing…or it’s just me..is your blog a part of your “real” life?
