Ok, I'm off to wordpress... Blogger/blogspot is for people who want to spend alot of time blogging and customizing their pages, which is totally not me!
My new address: http://brite.wordpress.com
It's identity is a bit vague... It contains Arabic & English articles.. I want to make two separate blogs for each language.. It'd give it more consistency.. I'll keep you posted whenever I made another one!

What can be said, what cannot be said
Hello there..
It's strange how people are scalable.. They're soo busy in their jobs, yet they have social life, they blog, they've hobbies.. We humans rock!
I wanted to make a blog about my life.. The thing is, I live in KSA.. and I speak Arabic, but for some reason I don't write in Arabic.. One of the reasons is,.. The chance of having viewers who like my blog would be more, of course.. another reason is, in my country.. English is almost a must if u want a job, or let's say, a nicely paying job.. Which is wrong. I have to learn English to have a decent life?! What environment is this? The country is called "Saudi Arabia", "Arabia" for heaven's sake! and we have cafes and restaurants who have English menus only, as a "prestigious" addition to their place!
No wonder why we're weak (in terms of knowledge, invention, power..etc).
The problem is, talking about negative things in Saudi Arabia, & in English seems like betrayal! I dunno.. I just feel it's awkward, why would I say something bad about my country to other people while its picture is already ruined! In the other hand, I'm not the PR rep for the country, why on earth should I care?
So, the solution is, I'll try to make the blog general, about the things happen in my life as a person in this planet, not as a Saudi.. &I'm sure we "humans" have more common things now than ever! Who doesn't know Cappuccino? Cola? Sushi? Rice? Pizza? Water?.....ok, skip the last one..
To be on common ground, I've to tell ya, I'm totally against racism/stereotype.. So let's try to be open and not prejudge this blog or hate its blogger because he said something you don't like.. If you don't like something, just say so. If you're Arabian and hated me because I didn't write in Arabic, I totally understand, I just want 2b more visible. And I won't focus on the crappy side of my country (there r many Saudis w\english blogs who do that if you wanna dig for them. I just don't like this idea, because already other media took care of that! and they're good at it!)
On my next post, I'll let u know more about my humble self and what I'm interested in, to let u know what to expect, or if you've any question/concern that I can talk about.
Salaam! / Peace!

Relocation
I've always loved the concept of relocation, going to new people, brand new experience..
This concept applies to websites, too.
So, I guess I'll leave to Wordpress.com. Will I post here anymore? maybe! till then, take care!
update: I moved 2 Wordpress! http://brite.wordpress.com
Bon Voyage!

Hello World!
Hi every1! So u r trapped in my blog?! mwahaha! let's spend some time together!
I hope I'll stick with this blog, I really need one to shout from! but I don't have time! I'm training in a company that squeeze you and then burn you! (well, not literally!)
I'm now Looking at a video for a guy called Yusuf Estes. Disclaimer: It's about religion, so be neutral, I like to talk to open-minded people who don't let stereotypes affect them.
Microsoft taught us these 'disclaimer' stuff!! :-)
ok, I'll catch up with u later, hopefully!
