طبعا لازم ابدي بألف مبروك للكويت ال4 نائبات ونعم الممثلات عن ومن الشعب الكويتي

وخل اقول لكم ماذا يعني هذا الحدث التاريخي

1. اول يوم بعد اعلان النتائج رحت الدوام كالعادة من شارع الحب و شعري لمه الحين كشة وشاي حليبي بيدي والشاب اللي يمي قاعد اطالعني ويمكن اقول "الحمد لله والشكر" أو يمكن بس ملقوف- العاده اهني استحي مادري ليش ولكن في هذا اليوم رفعت رأسي واستمتعت بشرابي واستانست بالزحمة
شيبه من جديد

2. أمس رايحة الشاليه ووقفت عند فرع قطعتنا لأشتري احتياجات البحر البسيطة وصففتهم بالأيس بوكس و ركبت سيارتي وإلا الشاب اللي يمي يعطيني
thumbs up

استغربت لأن الشباب بفرعنا العادة اييون للتونك قبل الشاليه ومستحيل حتى يعملون
eye contact
لأنه
uncool
الشاب صار عنده الثقة ان يعبر بدون ما احس انه قليل ادب وكان متطمن اني ما راح اتظايق لانه صرنا كلنا كوول من جديد و عهد الاتلافية وحدس النفاقية ولى

كوول من جديد


3. لازم نوقف ونعطي سكوب حقهم لأنهم كانوا عنصر اساسي بكشف المتأسلمين على حقيقتهم
على راسي اعيال الجهراء

And I'm sharing my lover with the rest of the world:

Barack Hussein Obama

Definitely today is the day to blog, in spite of facebook messages piling up ;)

In general, 2008 has been good for me.

I feel good about 2009, for no reason at all.

The economic crisis has also been good for all of us. Lower emmissions, less consumption, and we can wear last season's, no problem.

My only real goal for the new year is to see Castro's Cuba (before he dies).

I will grow my hair again, and not miss a day without my day, night, & under eye cream.

I will make gluten free pizza.

And be a better friend.

Love,
Sheba

I remember the days in the 80s: when male bands would sit within the women-only weddings, when the photographers were men, and the groom would come in to the women's wedding with half his neighborhood, all his diwania friends, and all his relatives, and anyone else in the men's wedding that wanted to come along.

Towards the late 80s and early 90s: the weddings became more segregated, with men coming in the women's wedding for limited periods. Women, if they wanted to dance, would cover up their bare shoulders with a shawl.

In the early to mid 2000's: if the groom comes in with his brothers, that is considered avant guard (the excuse being: the bride doesn't want to cover up or wear her hijab); the bride's father even ceased to show up (an old tradition says that the father of the bride should not come in to his daughter's wedding, was revived). If there happened to be a male band to come in for a short time, or if the groom is sitting and a girl or woman decides to dance, it was considered shameful, 3aib.

This year: Men are allowed back in, band members are there for longer periods, celebrity male singers are allowed in for longer, the father of the bride is a vital part of the wedding, the bride wants to dance, the groom is cheering her, and the dance floor is filled with frolicking women and girls.

Is it a backlash against the oppressive laws put into effect by parliament in the past few years (like segregating the sexes in universities)? Or have we become less of social hypocrites?
