Non-Saudi family members working

in a the news the labor office is targeting the increasing of companies hiring the family members of non Saudi  who came to work in Saudi,their family members are not allowed to work its stated in red on there residential permit.

I think its a great idea to actually approve them working as they are in the kingdom already, know the ways of life, traditions and its a great boost to business i think as it would be cheaper to hire,

I wonder why is it such always a big issue, since we will be getting the workers from outside the kingdom in the first place.

we seem always like to make the harder and more extreme rules in everything not only this case

they are coming with high fines and some time closing businesses due to that fact. and asking the help of the Ministry of Interior, why go so far when it can be as easy of getting a small system to organize that!?

one reason it said it will give a fair chance for Saudi women to get the jobs, my guess if there were to get it in the first place they wouldn’t be hiring non-Saudi’s.

plus, its always about the money, non-Saudi will work for less money and get more work done, a Saudi want more money and less work, before you jump and attack me not all Saudi are like that but most are, i have been there so I know what i’m talking about here.

I think its a great approach to have them work in the first place rather than not, tell me what you guys think?

 

ahhhh, that been said!

 

cheers

Challenging Myself!

i’m not going to start with the usual its been a while since i wrote anything…I guess i just did.

 

in the past months a lot has gone in my life,

moved from Khobar to Riyadh,

got a new job,

got married and divorced,

started a film production company with friends,

so yeah i have been busy,

 

as the topic say i’m challenging myself to go to the basic of writing a blog, and share my expriances and stuff that happens in my life or around me, most of you might not agree ith my ideas or thought, and i’m not here to teach you or tell you how to run your life, all i hope for is a comment or two, a person smiling while reading something i wrote. so the challenge is for me to write a blog once a week, i wont set a date as i’m not sure it would work in the first place.

 

so lets see how this will go,

 

ahhhh, that been said!

 

cheers

its been a while since I wrote about Women In The News,

and today I would share with you some of the news I found all over the internet,

but insted of empowering woemn, I would share thing that I find Unbelievable!!!

1. Woman call the Police and tell them she just killed her Mother and Brother click here

but she didn’t really kill them, she did that to stop her step brothers from marrying by force to a man she don’t want, they actually forged paper works by taking another women to act she is her to pass the medical test required before marriage!!! the police took the brothers into custody and handed them to the commission of Family disputes!!!

I wonder how is her life right now!!! and what punishment did the brothers get for forging documentation!!

yeah right, she is a woman!!! she has no right!!!

2. Saudi women are cheap now, you can have one for quitting smoking!!! click here

a follow blogger wrote about a new stunt, by selling Saudi women as she stated in her blog, to any man who would quit smoking!!!

interesting!!!

3. Only in Saudi a grown up woman would still need the permission of guardian to do anything!!! click here

Women in Saudi complain and just had it, since they can’t do anything with what they own with out the permission of a guardian, it has to be a family member a father, a brother, a husband or a son!!! now its not only government ask for that, even private sectors, if a woman wanted to study she need a permission!!! A 50 year old woman, can’t finish here papers at a governmrnt office, she has a Saudi ID with her photo, and she does not cover her face yet still asked to get someone who happen to be male to identify her!!!

as I said, ONLY IN SAUDI!!!

4. it was a night ful of action!!! click here

at a social gathering in Baha, Saouth of saudi arabia, few CPVPV with a woman!!! “yep its okay for them to work with women in the name of GOD!!!” asked Ms.Sua’ad Al-Mana’a to step down and not sit with the men, but after few moments they just left since no one did what they want!!!

I find interesting for women to work with CPVPV!!!!   halal for them, Haram for us.

thats it for now,

Ahhhh, that been said!

cheers

A matter of time!

I had a very interesting conversation with my father today, it was about women right to drive, and I told him I know for a fact they will be driving the question is when?! I told him about how satellite was banned by Islamic extremist, now most of the people on satellite are those Islamic extremist, I told him about mobile phones with camera how it was banned too, now it’s everywhere, so I believe that women driving is a matter of time.

My father told me that WE “Saudi’s” are known for something that no other countries in the world have,

I wondered what it was,

He said extreme opposition to anything new,

I said: I know that!

He told me: son, you have no idea how extreme it was in the past!

He then told me few stories that made see what he meant by extreme, it made all what we are facing now is just a walk in the park,

He told me that King Abdul-Aziz was about to get assassinated two times,

The first time by Islamic extremist because they knew for a fact that he used an alarm clock!!! Yes, an old fashion alarm clock, they thought he was using the underworld to make that solid object RING! Until the king proved to them it was not the work of magic they let it go, and they owned there own clocks!

The second time was again by the same Islamic extremist when they knew he uses a radio!!!

My father told me another story about a guy who lived on a farm, as he finish his work at the farm goes to his room at the edge of the farm and stay there for hours, the Islamic extremist in his area were not comfortable with the fact of that man spending long hours alone, they went to his room and searched and found what he was doing and killed him on the spot, they found a deck of playing cards!!! It was work of the devil they said and he use black magic!!!

My father also added that smoking was banned and whoever caught smoking would be lashed in the city square

Alarm clock, Radio, telegraph, Women education, Television, Satellite, camera phones and now women driving, it’s only a matter of time!

Ahhhh, that been said!

قصيدة …..فلجا الفهيديه الشمرية بسعود الصعيدي

this a story of my Fathers uncle, rare these days to find such a man

googled the family name, i was amaized ^.^
==============================

سعود صالح الصعيدي من سكان مدينة حائل رجل اتصف بالشهامة والمروءة وانكارالذات والفزعة وكانت لدية سيارة شحن وانيت فورد
ينقل عليها البضائع والركاب بين مدينة حائل وما حولها من المدن والقرى واكثر ما يكون طريقه بين حائل ومدينة جبه
وذات يوم بينما كان في جبة واذا بالشاعرة المعروفة فلجا بنت مطلب الشمريه (ام شيحان) خارجة من بيتها على قارعة الطريق تحمل فوق رأسها تنكة تمر (صفيحة مملؤة بالتمر) عائدة بها الى بيتها فتوقف عندها ولم يكن بينهما سوى معرفة عادية
فقال لها اين تريدين يا ام شيحان ومالذي معك؟؟ فقالت له هذه تنكة تمر كنت اريد ارسالها لابني شيحان بالكويت ليفطر عليها في شهر رمضان لكن سيارة الشحن التى تذهب للكويت فاتتني ولعلي ارسلها مع سيارة اخرى اذا تيسر لي ذلك قبل دخول شهر رمضان
فلما سمع كلامها هزته النخوة والمرؤة فقال لها ضعيها في ظهر السيارة فقالت له وهل ستذهب الى الكويت قريبا قبل رمضان او سترسلها عن طريقك ؟ فما زاد ان قال ربما ونزل عن سيارته ووضع التنكة بالسيارة وقال لها اتريدين ان ترسلي لابنك اي شيء اخر ؟ او تقولين له شيئا ؟ فقالت سلامتك فودعته ودخلت بيتها
ومن مكانه توجه الى الكويت ليقطع مايزيد 1500 كم بسيارته من اجل ان يوصل التنكة لابن هذه العجوز التى تريد ان تبر ابنها بهذه التميرات في شهر رمضان ولم يحن المساء من ذلك اليوم حتى وصلت الرسالة الى صاحبها الذي ارسل لامه هديه من ملابس للعيد
وتحرك سعود بسيارته عائدا الى جبه في اليوم التالي ولم يخيم الظلام حتى طرق سعود على ام شيحان الباب وسلمها هدية ابنها والخطاب الذي يحمله منه فكادت ان تطير من الفرح والذهول وهي لاتكاد
تصدق نفسها فقالت تمدحه:

راكــب الــي لا شــرود ولا عـــزوم……مـنـوة الــي لا ركـبـهـا مـــا يـنــام

خشمهـا مابـه نفـس بـس الرقـوم……زاهـيـات مـثـل بالـبـنـت الـوشــام

حـلـو زولــه مــع رهـاريـه الـحـزوم……مخهـا زيــت ولا خـلـق بــه عـظـام

لابـو صالـح كاسـبٍ كــل السـلـوم……طيـب قلـب وخـف نفـس واحتـرام

ابـــو صـالــح مـــا يـنـبـه بـمـعـلـوم…..ياخـذ المفتـاح يركـب بــه شـمـام

ابـو صـالـح مـنـوة الــي لــه لــزوم…..منـوة المقصـر ومـنـوة مــن يـضـام

مـا يطيـر الحـر مـن عـش الـرخـوم…….والـحـد يــا مــا تـسـاوى بالقـطـام

ابـوصـالـح مـاكــرٍ مـــا بـــه ثــلــوم…….حافظينـه مـن خـوال ومــن عـمـام

اجعـلـك تلـحـق هـواهـا كــل يــوم……..يجـعـل عـمـرك جـديـدٍ كــل عـــام

فكـك الله مـن الحـوادث والـصـدوم……….وفـكـك الله مــن خـرابـه والـعــدام

مــن رجــال ٍ مــع مواجيـبـه تـقـوم………و لا يقوم القصر الي ساسه هدام

المـراجـل ساسـهـا قـــو الـعــزوم………..والمـراجـل مـثـل لمـبـات الـظـلام

والرجـل مـا ينومسـه زيـن الهـدوم………و لا ينومـس كـود فعلـه يـا ســلام

وختمـهـا ازكــى صـلاتـي دب دوم…………للنـبـي الهاشـمـي سـيـد الانــام

friends levels!

We all have friends,

but some friends are closer then others.

In the past few weeks I tried to see the levels of my friends, I found out not all are truly friend.

Friendship these days are all about benefits, and what they can get out of your friendship.

The true meaning of friendship is lost!

I’m just glad I have few true friends,

Some friends become enemies, some just gone into thin air.

But true friends are always there, I’m thankful I have a few, few meaning less then four.

Hope u all know who si your true friend is

Ahhhh, that been said!

Cheers
