If you think that was it and “they” will actually agree on something in Qatar, then your wrong, prepare yourselves for another round of pleasant events!

Today started with an Arab league delegation coming to to Lebanon to meet with the rival leaders in a trial to come up with a solution that satisfies everybody, seemed impossible for me. Anyway I didn’t follow up on what happening during the day though, but next thing I knew was Ghazi Al-Aaridi on TV [...]

When I first read what Darko had to say in his blog about the incidents that occurred in Halba and resulted in executing 11 SSNP (Syrian Social National Party) fighters by the Future Movement militia, I was saddened by the fact that what we thought was part of the past is haunting us again…Today, videos [...]

Have a break! Turn off the TV, and don’t listen to the news for the next 5 minutes. Instead, play this YouTube video, that’s one of my favorite Lebanese music. It’s called “W Tmayali” (”Sway” in English) from an album called “Sabah”  (”Morning” or “Sunrise” in English) and it’s composed, written and arranged by Nadim [...]

We got used in Lebanon to jokes circulating over e-mails after big incidents, remember Fateh Al-Islam and the 2006 war jokes?This time I thought there will be no jokes circulating since it is serious, and Lebanon is about to fall off the cliff, but hell no! We the Lebanese are always able to make fun [...]

This photo you see above is shot by my friend Antoine Khater from All Day I Dream About Photography (ADIDAP) and titled “Give peas a chance”, he took it nearly 1 year ago on May 22 2007.Antoine is another Lebanese blogger who feels disgusted of the current situation in Lebanon. For that he launched a [...]

I live in Ras El-Nabeh, where clashes have been raging for the last 2 days, and thanks god today is relatively calm and under the Lebanese army control. But still, I didn’t go to work in fear of not being able to come back! Yeah feels like being under siege!So far the opposition has defeated [...]

No I won’t be cursing today, although I really feel like telling those ugly gangsters to go to hell and fight as much as they want there…Anyway just in time, while I’m hearing RPGs every few minutes outside, one of my friends sent me this set of photos. It goes pretty well with the current [...]

Today I would like to join Tantalus in saying FUCK YOU to each and everyone involved in today’s incidents in Beirut. And to those who launched RPGs I say FUCK YOU twice, since you made additional effort in fucking up the day.Also FUCK those who try to pretend they’re angels, while we know very well [...]

K-Lynn Lingerie holds annual lingerie shows at various places in Lebanon such as Faraya Mzar, Edde Sands, Oceana, and other resorts.And there’s no way you can miss one of these shows, because as soon one of these shows is held, you quickly start receiving photos of the event in your e-mail and before you know [...]

I feel frustrated tonight, I have just found that the videos site is not working! This is what you get when you keep on messing with the source code…! I’ll be working on it.Anyway, I’m publishing today a trance music file for a song titled “This is Beirut”. A small part of the file has [...]

Using the political situation to make an advertisement is one of the things that I would describe as “حربقة” (Clever in english), or shall I call that creativity..? Check their latest advertisement below.To those who don’t understand Arabic, the advertisement tells that Lebanese people have been celebrating and drinking Almaza since 1933 and kept on [...]

I came across this news article in Annahar newspaper today.The article is about a campaign launched by the municipality of Beirut to exterminate pests (roaches should be afraid now). It’s quite a normal news.But notice the attached photo, showing some personnels along with the head of the municipality taking a photo beside the vehicle to [...]

Although it is the third largest city in Lebanon, but I’ve never went to Saida and made a tour in the city until a few weeks ago. It might not be the best place in Lebanon but WOW, I was impressed!Call me an ignorant, but I really didn’t even know there was a gorgeous old [...]

Woohoo! Lebanon is getting into the traffic lights era!!You’re probably aware (or not) of the new traffic lights at some areas in Beirut, they’ve been installed even at places where you least expect traffic congestions to occur, that’s what I have noticed at some intersection in Sad El Bouchrieh.But you can still observe policemen at [...]
