As all of you hockey fans know, Boston played against Vancouver in the Stanley Cup Final yesterday; it was my 1st time ever to watch a live hockey game. And boy what a tough and hard sport it is, I mean watching along I couldn’t help noticing that Hockey is a really extremely difficult sport [...]

There is something about Canadian mornings… The earlier I wake up, the more beautiful my morning becomes. The foggier it is outside, the yummier my coffee tastes. The rainier it is, the more tempting it is to go out for a walk. The cooler it is, the more refreshing I feel. There is something about Canadian [...]

Eman, you’re Arab, you’re from the Middle East, you DO love politics; you think you don’t, but you do. It’s a built-in feature, it’s there in you, that itch to talk and discuss politics, even if you’re far far away. Eman, as a Middle -Eastern, you’ll make politics part of your daily life, you can’t [...]

WHAT the hell?! I’ve been lying on my back for 30 minutes for NOTHING! does that mean I have to take another half an hour, without moving? In this cold room? inside this awful machine? Would I be able to do it? I could hear my heart beating like crazy, I could feel my cheeks [...]

Today Adam attended his last day at nursery. In September he’ll be going to SCHOOL, or “that place for big kids” as he likes to refer to it. Even though I tried to explain to him more than once, he still doesn’t quite get the idea that he wont be returning to this same place [...]

So a lot of people have been asking me about my “surprising” and “sudden” passion for football. The thing is, I’ve always loved football, I’m not obsessed with it though, I like to play it, and just love the whole world cup ambiance. So usually I’d rarely tune in to watch a football match in [...]

A few days ago I was thinking of how often we were getting sick here in Dubai. It’s been a year and a few months since we moved here, and I’m not exaggerating when I say, we never stopped getting sick ever since we set foot here. Starting with usual mild illnesses such as colds, going [...]
