The place of all envy and evil!

The gym!!

If God wants hell to be horrible - he should make it a Gym!
It's where all the skinny girls parade their hot bodies yet complain in front of fat people about how much weight they've gained. It's a place where your old high-school clique comes back to life, with the athletic ones doing their work in the front and kiss the trainer's ass making all the loosers jealous, and the loosers are in the back struggling with those damn push ups loathing the fact that they have bad genes.

.....and as of next saturday i will be the proud owner of a one month gym membership.

blast from the past

Last night i went out with a few people from the LC in Alex, it was nice to remember the good old times. I am really proud of them this year, they are doing well - best LC in NLDS an all ;)

It reminded me of the days when we were all having the time of our lives, the time when AIESEC was so much fun and friends and hard work. The great times we often forget.
We are all going out again tonight which i am looking forward to.

So here's to my gang, my peeps and most of all my friends!

The Menu

Sweet corn Salad
Molokheya
Tomato Sauce
Rice
Chicken with Soy Sauce
Minty Feta Cheese Pie (yum!)

housewives aren't that free

I have always wondered what housewives do all day at home - don't they get bored?!
But i have recently discovered that over the course of the last year of living on my own i never have a boring minute at home. There's always something to do, enough things to fill my free time outside work. There's always something to clean, something to re-arrange, something to re-do. Now add a husband and a coupla kids - and i don't know how they manage!

It's good to be home back in good ol' Cairo for some time now - no travel plans - just home sweet home. This week is my fall cleaning week - i am trying to figure out what i have not thought about cleaning before and am doing it.
I am also brainstorming menu items for Thursday - i am planning to have some people over for fetar - but i still have to invite them :P

Am thinking, stuffed vine leaves and lasagna. But i have no clue how to make lasagna!

Live from Sudan

I am in the Sudanese capital Khartoum. It's really interesting and more african than i imagined - should go out and explore with Thea tonight.

But here's why i wana go home so bad:
1) I am a stupid-ass who did not take her vaccinations - so i am scared shitless now
2) I want to drive my new car
3) Being back home means that ramadan will be over sooner
4) I can be as lazy as i want at home and not move from the couch
5) Airline food sucks ass
6) I have only a few weeks to say farewell to all the good fatty food - so i would rather be spending them in a place with good fatty food like Egypt.

Today i rejoice!

After reading megan's post about sexual harrassment, i was really frustrated. I do not get harrassed a lot lately - probably because i avoid the streets as much as possible and because i try to cover-up as much as possible, and basically i just ain't that hot.
Not get harassed a lot means it's down to twice a day - mind you

Megan is absolutely right - men in this country are more pigs that anywhere else. But it happens to ALL girls, not just foreign girls.
So Megan if it were up to me i would make the punishment for sexual harassment chopping off something that men hold very dearly.

However, i think my days of sexual harrassment are over! Which is why i rejoice!

As of yesterday i am the proud owner of a brand new minty green Fiat!

I hope my new best friend will help me limit those horrible harassments down to 2/week!!
Am i beeing too optimistic?
