No H8 Lebanon

While going through one of the good and well-known Lebanese blogs; Beirut NTSC, I noticed one blog post. This post is a photo of a LEBIDAHO (Lebanon’s IDAHO | International Day Against Homophobia) poster that has been defaced (as the post stated). The campaign came after the infamous Mohamad Sibai article (it happened to be this way) and people (especially bloggers and activists) were still hyped about homophobia and such an [AUB] tragedy.

Gooey Heaven s’mores pie

I am writing this with a fork in my hand and a watery mouth. This piece of pie is an intense pleasure. It is gooey, it is heavenly, and it’s S’mores Pie. Even though I am not a big fan of marshmallows (for its animal source) but s’mores is different story. Most of the times when we spend a weekend or a night in my uncle’s house at the mountains, s’mores is necessary. Roasted either by the fire or by the old Lebanese village fireplace (sobya), we usually like to bring the night to an end with a heavy round of s’mores. Here is my last year’s vacation there [LINK]

“Tannoura Maxi”: MY review

I am not a movie reviewer and I’m not the type of person who wouldn’t skip a new movie int the theaters. This is my take on a Lebanese movie that got a lot of attention for misjudged content.

I watched Tannoura Maxi last Thursday. The theater was almost full and even though I got my ticket almost an hour and a half before screening time, the only seats I got were next to the wall at the 4th row from the screen. Well, the movie wasn’t being screened in their largest theater but still the number was impressive after the showers of negative review the movie has collected. Most of the viewers stayed the whole time, few left and one was not able to keep his mouth shut for the entire movie until he was fed up at around 15-20 minutes before the movie ended (and to make the matter worse, he was sitting right behind me)

Hypocrisy much?

It’s day 3 of my 3rd week without my laptop. I’m ok with it so far, in fact I’m feeling better. The laptop repair is done but I’m just waiting for my friend to give it back to me. I hope I don’t get back to my old head-glued-to-the-laptop-till-after-midnight routine. I’ll have to work on this.

Apart from that, Lebanese movies are rocking the theaters.

A forced detox

As part of my offline activities, I went to look for some new clothes with my sister but I couldn't find anything that fits my taste. Well, I find few, including this shoe that I've spotted a few days earlier.

I am writing this post from my mobile phone. This is the first time I use my mobile for posting a blog post. Why? Because I’m on a forced detox from my laptop. No, I’m ok, but my laptop isn’t. It is suffering from a hard disk problems but it is being fixed.
