Hi~ Ramadhan Kareem

I’ve been very busy ever since I made myself a prepaid credit card. Shopping online is so tiring and expensive, specially shopping from Japanese stores So now I’m proud to say I’m flat broke XD Zero! Waiting for my lovely university to give me that SR 850 so I can start shopping again~ Will post my stuff when they arrive.

And while we’re talking about money, let me forward this message to Arab National Bank: I hate you! Wish you bankrupt for the humiliation you try to exact upon your “forced” customers! If only your monopoly over retired citizens’ pensions could be lifted! Believe me you won’t have any customers left!

As usual, my brother nagged over my head to write something in my Arabic blog. Thus, I made a new category called “Ramadhaniat” where I will write daily during Ramadhan about the Iftar, the most famous Saudi Ramadhan show “Tash Ma Tash” and post videos from my YouTube channel. I might discuss one specific topic when it’s interesting, other than that it usually follows this pattern.

So recently, Panda, a very famous supermarket line managed by Savola Group, decided to hire Saudi women as cash registers in their Jeddah branch(es) as a start. The plan is to have 2500 women hired in an attempt to reduce unemployment. So far everything is okay, but Sheikh Youssef Al-Ahmad, aka that guy who issued a Fatwa to rebuild the Holy Mosque, issued yet another Fatwa to boycott Panda because it “demeans Muslims’ women by employing them as cash registers.” Well, I frankly disagree with what he said; having women selling on the street is what demeaning, not working in an air-conditioned and well-paid environment. It’s sad to see that some people are responding to such boycott without considering those who need the jobs. If you like to support Panda in their cause please join this page on Facebook.

That’s it for now, I’ll be soon writing a new post about one of my favorite shows: Layla
