Missed you <3
I'm slowly going back to normal, though I'm still quite busy these days ^_^;;;

I gotta go to your journal to get my dose of Arabic >< hmmm maybe I should get me an Arabic book next. Btw, where is it exactly that you live? Is it the UAE or Saudi Arabia? Just asking 'cause I recently read a book entitled "The Girls of Riyadh." I found it quite interesting, and I learned a few things I didn't know of ^_^;

[renoa_heartilly]

waah i know what you mean -_- being busy while wanting to relax is the worst thing ever (although you end it with a feeling of accomplishment XD)

well i live in saudi arabia *_* but the culture of each area is different (something like how the different parts of india have varying customs even though they belong to the same country) XD
the book 'girls of riyadh' is a highly controversial book here *_* it has (and still is) made alot of critics write about and just recently the hype died down XD
i havent read it but i must advise you not to take everything in it 100% seriously xD

See, that's one thing I didn't get. I was sure it was gonna cause a lot of fuss, and I was surprised it was published and even translated! I wasn't really interested in the love stories themselves, but more in some customs. Though I do know about guys (in Jordan) who act somewhat as described in the book, I was more "fascinated" by how the whole dress code worked. It said that you wear the abayeh when you're in open space, but once you're inside a building, or in your house, even with guys that are not related, girls could take off the abayeh. I didn't know that, and it actually explained the (what I'd thought was odd) behavior of some persons I knew a long time ago ^__^ Is this true?

[renoa_heartilly]

yeah well it was highly praised and dissed at the same time xDDD

LOL I read it cuz my aunt wanted me to XD She sometimes teased me, that she was gonna look for a husband for me, since that's what sometimes happens in some Arabic and South East Asian countries ^_^;; I don't want an arranged marriage, thank you very much XD
What I kind of "liked" about the way it was described in the book, was that in the end, if the girl herself is convinced of wearing the hijab, then she doesn. Otherwise she is only required to wear it when in open areas. Though by religion it's a MUST, I somehow feel that a girl should get there on her own, rather than for it to be imposed on her. Or am I wrong?

Ok, I don't want this to turn into a discussion on religion. My friends give me a headache when we start on such subjects ^_^;; Some people just wanna push their own ideas on you, and can't find it in themselves to simply respect other people's beliefs (>.<)

[renoa_heartilly]

yes that's what matters the most XD if she wears it based on her own belief, then she will wear it forever happily *-*
its more like a way of life than a strict religious order (even though it is an order, it has been left simple and uncomplicated, and the decision to wear it in whatever way or another goes to the wearer herself)

lol its ok i wont go rabid on you XD i actually enjoy going into talks because i might learn something new from someone who thinks different XD
i could be wrong in some points, so discussing it might shed some light on my mistakes XD
