Today I went to school to get some stuff done before the semester officially starts.
I kind of have a knack for meeting quite.. Strange people.
So I start talking to this girl, and she goes on about how she needs to do some Valetines day shopping..
Wait, here? In Riyadh!?
"Ah! Who's the lucky guy!?"
She looks at me all shy, and says: "My cousin! People don't approve of us seeing each other since he is my cousin and a year younger than I.. But one can't help what's in one's heart!
And the best thing about our relationship is that our parents are okay with it.. He even comes with us on vacations! It's great!"
And no, they're not ma56oobeen (engaged). I asked.
Hold on, did I miss something?
Was there some announcement that overly liberal parents were allowed to exist in this shit-hole?
I know it may seem strange to some people that cousins are dating.. But you have to understand that someone out right declaring their love for their Valentine is completely unheard of here!
She shared all that with a complete stranger!
I honestly cannot get over this...
We're Saudi, for God's sake!
Falling in love is 3aib!*

*I was being sarcastic. Get off my case.

ROTFL@ "We're Saudi, falling in love is 3aib". Classic line.
Roses are red, violets are blue, some poems rhyme, but this one doesnt.
:|.
lo0o0l
v.day = depression day..
i think i'm gonna go get me an inflatable valentines day guy for tommorow only ;P
Hi ubergirl, you rock. It's encouraging to see a Saudi girl blog. I thought the Religious Policeman was the only Saudi who blogged, but now I'm discovering them. :)
Found you through Ozmonsta (Saudi?)who left a comment on my blog.
Good luck.
Valentines day is kinda stupid, its just a consumer driven event. On the subject Zeyad mentioned about Saudi bloggers, i find them quite interesting because Saudi Arabia is such a closed country to the outside world so its nice to hear what people living there have to say about it. I'd love to visit, seems like an intersting place. PLus I cant wait to go on Hajj someday inshAllah
men dont deserve our love o bss!
My cousin told me that at her college on v/day you get t3ahud (d-merit/sanction) if you wear any red.
Alahh will be pissed!
Hey :D i'm writting this at school!!! yaaay awal marra njeeb internet bmadaris irya6'!
nice post by the way :D
Al-johara
Dearest:
Saudi or none saudi...it's not 3eeb to fall in love..it's 3eeb to use it in a bad way!!...
Like Sex and stuff...bas 3omro makan 3eeb...put this in mind :)..
Love you
:D really? congrats johara !!!
Zeyad there is a Saudi blogs blogcounting blog with like a hundred Arabian blogs.
Why would Arabians care about Valentine? It's originally a pagan fertility festival, did you know?
Lol. Oh god. I remember my sister telling that she thinks my cousin has a crush on me. Regardless of whether it was true or not, I can never see my cousins as more than sisters.
First of all, I want to clear something up:
Valentine's day does not depress me. It honestly doesn't. I don't need a man to make me feel happy! V-day is just another day in the year.. It only means that Hallmark's making a bit more money today, and that's it.
Zeyad: Thanks! :)
Shy: Trust me you do NOT want to visit Saudo Arabia!
Jason: That's offensive to alot of Muslims, you know.
Rimyoleta: Please allow me to quote.. Err.. Me :P: "I was being sarcastic".
Thomas: Everyone cares about Valentines now. EVERYONE.
Thanks for your comments, everyone!
