  1. Kooleey Lol @ Old ladies.It's funny more then anything though wallahida. Jamelia Your sis.It is about self-image and perception.Sad too because united we would be much more stronger then in a induvidual Biij race.Alas I'm sure their individual struggle must get lonely.Especially if you've no one to share your prizes with eh? Rowda Walaashiis in highlighting the negative aspects it only prepares us and makes us wiser.The positive will always prevail lakiin in openly discussing issues that we feel are holding us back from blissful sisterhood(ok not completely blissful but as close as possible.lol)&how we can overcome them I hope we can become stronger...As sisters.Good sisters are all around us lakiin aslong as the shaydaan is around whispering in our ears then I'm afraid there will be alot of wrongdoing ma'aha? Anyways Rowda hadaad waqti heeshiid waxaan jeclanlahaa inaan maqlo ra'yigaaga oo ku sabsaan arintaan.In af Soomaali ofcourse Layla It is sad sistergirl and I know what you mean lakiin what I would advise you to do is to not keep trusting those that REPEATEDLY do you wrong.Ultimately forgive them but be wiser and distance yourself.They obviously dont have your best interests at heart sistergirl
  2. Jimca Lee You're right sis.I mean it does depend on who you befriend.My only regret is being so naive to some folk wallahida.Trying to help and assist them only for them to throw it right back in my face. My hooyo says it's my ajar and their dembi and she is right lakiin even that doesn't lessen the initial shock when the xaar hits the fan. "nobody ayaa sharafta kaa qaadi karo; your reputation on earth is the exact replica of the one you have ilaahay dhiniciisa" You're absolutely right walaashiis Ahura It's not a nice feeling is it?Especially when you kind of have that instinct at the pit of your belly and it turns out to be true.Istubid,istubid me.... "Those types of friendships start slowly but last a lifetime" I know what you mean.Sometimes in the midst of everything gone crazy in your life there they are offering calm,empathy,two beautiful ears(Masha'Allah)and a big arsed tub of value icecream "If you're lucky enough to have such a friend, you need to look after them" Here!here! Ibtisam Masha'Allah you seem wise walaal.Keep it this way lakiin my advice to you is dont ever assume that you are immune from being dragged into some random person's drama.You can be safe by not talking about someone or by being neutral when someone is complaining to you but even then the drama will still follow you.Some people get a kick out of watching others fall.Just watch out sistergirl. My sin is 'JUDGEMENT'.Problem is when it comes to looking at other people's situations I always use the motion of looking at BOTH sides of the story.Lakiin when it comes to my own situations I kind of run with what I've got.Sometimes ignoring someone when in fact they did not do anything to me and I got the wrong end of the stick.I'm getting better though alxamdulilaah.
  3. Hey gabdho.... I was watching the Tyra Banks show a couple weeks back and she starting talking about 'The Seven Deadly Sins of Sisterhood'.How sometimes instead of helping our sisters out we are usually our own worst enemies.How we need to stop negativity and competition and to support one another. Here are the seven sins that Tyra outlined... BETRAYAL MANIPULATION JUDGEMENT ENVY /JEALOUSY GOSSIP COMPETITION RESENTMENT Maalindhow I was chilling out with my two best friends and we were all just messing about as usual.Sida kale we were discussing our personalities and what our strengths&weaknesses were from each other points of view.One of my friends told me that she often worries sometimes as I'm too trusting.Ie-Sincerely trying to advise and help a sister who albeit fake smile assumes I cant be this selfless and I must have ulterior motives in trying to get her to trip.Bad thing is I always find out how petty they are too late.Baabah weyan walle.I agreed with my friends to a point too. I was much more naive waagi hore but I've experienced my fair share of b!tchiness,betrayal and backstabbing so I've grown wiser and much more cautious.(I hope)But alxamdulilaah as a 'betrayee' my former 'betrayers' have only made me stronger What line do you draw when it comes to trusting people? My philosophy is 'If you lie and cheat it aint nobodies loss but yours sukka!' I mean you go home with YOU at the end of the day and there's no point in trying to lie to yourself forget about anybody else.If someone lies to me then I'm not losing anything am I?I just wonder how they feel when they look at themselves in the mirror and kind of pity them.It's insecurity that is at the root of it isn't it? From my point of view Jealousy/Envy and manipulation is the worst and they're usually linked in with all of the other sins outlined.It's more ugly then anything on this earth walle.The things I've seen it has made grown arsed people do makes my stomach turn.Severing sibling's engagements/marriages&destroying friendships and in the worst form....Dividing people's famalies. Do you agree with me that the way to tackle this problem is to get to the root of it?I.e heightening this lack of self esteem that so many women suffer from?People need to value each other and most IMPORTANTLY love themselves for their 'uniqueness' more ma'aha? What do you guys think about the concept that it starts of from childhood?Lack of appraisal,observing and adopting personality traits from their own mothers ect? Anyways girlies feel free to drop your 2 shilling and talk about something you did in your past or if you were on the recieving end.Add any sins that you feel arent on the list and should be. Caano geel iyo jaceyl!xxxx
  4. Some woman(Arab)told my best friend whilst we were feasting in our lunch break "You look sooooo Somali!" We just stared at her like *Best John Maccah impression* YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS! :confused: Tis was a strange lunch break walle.... Anyway it's not the actual fact that a person is complimenting me that weirds me out it's what leaves that apparently somewhat 'generous' thinking space in between their ears that I just feel like stamping my foot in their &*% Merely stopping someone dead in their tracks by schreeching they are 'tall',or 'OMG you have curly hair!' or 'straight hair' is NOT a compliment to all those freakoids out there who assume so.Its a waste of time and it's called stating freakin' the obvious! ~EXHALES!!!~
  5. ^That show is rather erm...... aint it?First time in my life I see parents who break down after the first week of giving their children veggies and other decent foods as opposed to junk..."I feel so bad..I feel like giving up" Haaaaaaaaaye :confused: Laba-Xiniinyood, Inanta iyo hooyodeyd maa Soomaali bey yihiin?
  6. Caano Geel feel free walaal Soomaalinimo iyo walaalnimo weyan aka when you tell Faraxiin/Xalimoyiin to stay out but they feel much obliged to stick their slim noses in anyway.Lol.

  8. Girls... Post the lyrics for a song that best describes your current mood or a song you just happen to be listening to. Fantasia-Truth is. Ran into an old friend yesterday Caught me by surprise when he called my name He was a familiar face, from a chapter in my past Talked for a while, I smiled and then Said that he was seeing somebody and Told me this was gonna last Showing me her photograph And all the feelings I thought were gone Came rushing back to me at once Tried to smile and hide the way I felt But I was thinking to myself (Truth is) I never got over you (Truth is) Wish I was standing in her shoes (Truth is) And when it's all said and done Guess I’m still in love with you (Truth is) I never should have let you go (Truth is) And it's killing me cuz now I know (Truth is) And when it's all said and done Guess I’m still in love with you We reminisce on the way things used to be Shed a couple laughs, shed some memories Talked about the things that changed Some for good and some for bad Then he said good-bye and he paid for lunch Promised that we'd always keep in touch Grabbed my bags and grabbed my thoughts, walked away and that was that And all the feelings I thought were gone Came rushing back to me at once Tried to smile and hide the way I felt But I was thinking to myself (Truth is) I never got over you (Truth is) Wish I was standing in her shoes (Truth is) And when it's all said and done Guess I’m still in love with you (Truth is) I never should have let you go (Truth is) And it's killing me cuz now I know (Truth is) And when it's all said and done Guess I’m still in love with you Listen

  15. The one I wear almost daily is Provocative woman by Elizabeth Arden or Beautiful sheer by Estee Lauder.Lakiin in the morning when I get out of the shower scented moisturiser& my Vicky's secret body splash(only great thing I brought back from the US..Kidding)uun baa ii filan.FNothing beats that fresh out of the shower sweetness every morning.When you think about it perfume isn't a must if your Fresh N clean but it's become religious for us islaamo hasn't it?Lol. If I'm going out to a celebration or someplace at night then it's usually Babydoll by YSLorEscada Rockin' Rio ...Very fruity,pineapple-ly,tropical scents they are...My inner child comes out.(Thank God for family discounts,presents&being the only daughter!)Lol Lakiin I like to sample my friend's/cousin's/niece's fragances or hooyo's ol style stuff.Like Carolina Herrera or Bvlgari and who can forget good ol' uunsi? As for men if Mr Farax No-name is wearing Hugo Boss-Boss in Motion then holy mother of......He can have me! :eek:
  16. ^Lol nothing wrong dear.Hence my 'dreaming'..The closest I get to Japan is that lil Sushi bar on my way back from shaqo every week or so(Broke)
  17. Waad iga ficantahay walle...At least adigu nafta baa ka farkirta.Anigu I'll tell them I dont know cause I'm just too damn lazy to look for my phone!
  18. Lol you guys are cute. JB How goes it walaakiis? Legend this is not the first time I have heard this scenario.I'm sure it wont be my last neither. Anyway I think it will just take some time to get used to thats all. My group of friends are a mixed bunch(originate from South&North)and apart from the odd word here or there we understand each other all fine!Altho we do laugh marmar.One time my Xamaraawi friend said 'ukun' and my Hargeysaawi friend was like .... "Maa magac oo nigerian baa?Naa maxaad ka hadleysa...Ukun waaxay" Lol suffice to say we all learn from each other and whatever sounds alien to our ears(not that many words mind you)we deal with in humour.It should be fun!!!!
  19. My feet are frozen.....Hands are frozen...Places of my anatomy that I never knew were there are frozen....Even this keyboard could give Moscow a run for it's money!I cant wait for summer and all the possibilities walle. Seriously tho...Any holiday destinations that frequently feature in your daydreams? I feel like going to Japan and just stuffing myself with sushi.Closest to this in my menial lil' life is scrimping N saving and heading to 'Yo'....albeit paying ridiculous ££££ for kaluun oo aan bislayn.I wont knock it tho,it's delicious
  20. Aeronwen I get those kind of dreams too.I swear nothing is worse then waking up with that pain&emptyness that trailed on from the dream in the pit of your calool.When you think the person is dead and then realise it was a dream.The relief is immense too but then I remember how death is inevitable and how much of a fuuley I am. Chocolato iyo malab I know someplace where you can get a good deal on a inflatable Farax.Lol.....Damn if only life were that easy eh? M-M-Aqiyaar The boy is not me ku lahaa Lol.You just shot yourself in the foot there mate.Lol you look like the kind of boy in the suuq isn't afraid to tell folk if their hair looked funny or if they looked fat in those chinis or accidently had their nigis sticking out of their goono albeit shouting in front of everyone Lol(Painful memories) Anywho thanks for sharing that pic walaal.Your sis aka qalanjo qoor dheer is my H.E.R.O gacan iyo luug baan uu taagey
  21. Khayr It's obvious the problem doesnt lie with me.I can sit here and account the things I witnessed,assess,walk away with my views on my deen the same albeit slightly disappointed by of our brethen and move the heck on!So spare the unneccesary referrings to Shariah. If I remember correctly I repeatedly said in my 1st post 'the girls I met' or 'not all girls' for the people,just like yourself who ASSUME just because I am accounting on a minority I am throwing all Somali muslamiin women into the same frying pan.Maxaad ii moodey walaal?Qof oo maskaxyar leh? :confused: I know when to seperate opinion from fact.Islam is perfect lakiin some of it's followers may not be.Deal with it! -Islam requires and encourages women to dress in a modest manner to protect their modesty. Now heres the thing...it doesn't mean a jilbab is any better then a abayaad and hijab does it?They both do the same thing no?The girls I met said they preferred abayaads and hijabs because they were more comfortable then the jilbab but couldn't because they were afraid of what any said about them.The jilbab is becoming uniform in Somalia for all the wrong reasons.THAT'S MY ENTIRE POINT! Now tell me where I am anti-Modesty or anti-hijab? All it boils down to is frustrated assumptions.You need to learn WHEN to address someone,whether it is relevent to the opinion they expressed and be easy with the labels.I dont appreciate you speaking for me or assuming I ,if anything "believes that religion is Totalitarian therefore, it is bad for all people of Intelligent mind" Spare me it next time,no really I insist. Originally posted by Castro: quote: Summer heat or the scorching, unendless and constant renewal of the Infinite Torture of Hell. :confused: Atheer, use this fear tactic with those who have no knowledge of their deen. You'd have made one heck of a catholic priest. [/QB] Castro, I agree.I was shocked when I read that not because of it's content but I couldn't believe that he was actually asking me and awaiting a answer.Disappointment isn't the word....
