Originally posted by Qac Qaac: waraa Guys, let's face it man. mano la mano. if u really want the girl, u would go to her father and her family. don't disrespect our women and come behind their parents back. if u r attracted to her, go to her father next move, only noble men, does this. but if u want wasting time, that is another case. Qac, you can't just run to the father! What if the girl doesn't want you? Xoog miyaa sheekadaada? First you have to let the girl know you're interested, and if she's also interested, then and only then can you go to Odayga.

X, thanks sis. I just received this info too...luckily, it falls on my weekend off.. (and on my bday too ) Salaams.

Samir iyo iimaan sis...Allaha jannada ka waraabiyo. & may Allah give speedy recovery to other sisters who are wounded. Salaams.

The Shipwreck The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island .... He prayed feverishly for Allah to rescue him,and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food,he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened;everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "Allah, how could you do this to me!" he cried. (Comment; Plenty of people use such statement --- think again you should never qestion Allah nor object to his willing) Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied. It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly. But we shouldn't lose heart, because Allah is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground--it just may be a smoke signal that summons The Grace of Allah. Pass this on. You never know who may be in need of this today. ************************************ A man reached 70 years of age and he faced a disease, he could not urinate. The doctors told him that he needs an operation to cure this disease. He agreed to do the operation as the problem was giving him much pain for days. When the operation was completed, his doctor gave him the bill which covered all the costs. The old man looked at the bill and started to cry. Upon seeing this the doctor told him that if the cost is too high then they could make some other arrangements. The old main said "I am not crying because of the money but I am crying because Allah let me urinate for 70 years and He never sent me a bill." Subhanallah! We rarely thank Allah for these things which are indeed great favours. We ask Allah to grant us the quality of being able to thank Him much and remember Him always. ...From an E-mail.

Aah, neverind the name, I know she's sweet as ever ps, I think Qabyo3 (yes, Q3...so I heard) will be out in theatres before Q2 hits VHS... but hang in there.

Hibo, I'm also interested. But can you give us a brief outline of your responsibilities? Tx.

Gosh, Gabdho...no sad testimonials please. I'm looking forward to getting out of this place and finally enjoying life without the stress of exams & assignments... (or being broke) Sigh... Just a few more weeks of this.... & then some more schooling

LOL- I've seen enough ruwaayads, but I can't seem to recall any memorable quotes that haven't been mentioned before. I remember there was one quote I liked from Qabyo2 but it's not coming to mind now. :confused: Btw, any of you watched Cilmi iyo Caado? Remember the guy tuurta lahay & that song that he sang... Lugta dhibi dhibi, dhaqaaji garbaha, dhexda aan ku qabtoon isku kaa dhajiyee ... I was like 13/14 when I saw the riwaayad and that song still sticks to mind.

I give you a group of three. One is sitting down, and will never get up. A- Stove The second eats as much as is given to him, yet is always hungry. A- Fire The third goes away and never returns. A- Smoke Riddle me this.... 1-Until I am measured I am not known, Yet how you miss me When I have flown. 2-I know a word of letters three. Add two, and fewer there will be.

CK-- May Allah grant you a long, blessed life, filled with endless joy and good health. *Muah!*

I'm definitely not winning anything among this crowd of nomads. So I guess it's safe not to mention where I've lived too. :cool:

I'm at about your level of annoyance with driving. Just today, Aabe was saying I hope your license gets revoked..."gaariga aa aamana kaa helaayo"..(coz I misplaced an important paper that contained some important info) And I muttered....I hope so too! Back to the topic... This is weird, most of what it said seems right to me :confused:

@ CK I never attended dugsi while I was in Somalia, but I heard some awful stories from my friends who had the xperience. First time I was enrolled in a Dugsi was when we came to Kenya...and I never returned after the Macalin lashed me and my little sister, who were innocently sitting there, but apparently next to some girls who were talking during the subac. Anyone attended/ing dugsi while abroad? Some macalins do things as they did back home... it's disconcerting runtii. I've heard of a macalin whipping a child so bad, the child called the cops on him. Don't know if there's truth to this story, but it's not hard to believe if you've been in one of these dugsis. The macalins would use belts or cords on young kids who were born here and properly never been spanked by their own parents. That's just risky. Our macalin here, used to make us stand up if we got a certain number of mistakes in the subac, or he'd make you wash someone else's feet :eek: ..and lather lotion on for them..(not that anyone actually did, all you heard is the water running in the tub). I never liked this idea of his, and I still don't...but it sure made us more competitive more prepared for dugsi.

Ilhaan, I second DnD...ya is actually believe lakkadkaan???girl come on'....ma kan baa rumeesaneesaa..?? Ya well girls, what's new, I'm still as gullible as ever .. Lol@cake & apple pie together... you love it here that much eh. I bet that's Timmy's cake and McDees apple pie eh?
