Living at Saudia Arabia

Now, I'll talk about my home, the warm sands that embraced my existance, the cool breezes of air that wake me up, the wild land that my ancestors tamed.

People from outside the arabic world who haven't been to the Arabian Pensuela devide into 3 types when it comes to their thoughts about Saudia Arabia.

Type A: They think we still live in the desert, riding camels and hunting wild animals,
where battles of honor take place using the sword and shield, and we ride on horses to faraway oasises and take a few drinks of water and continue our epic journey.

Type B: These ones think this is a land of terror and fear, where torrists roam the lands and people will do anything for money, a place where unknown people march through the street with guns to scare their oppoents, and the goverment are overwhelmed by the corruption it can't do anything.

Type C: This one's my personal favorite, the people that think the avreage saudi has 3 billion dollars because of oil, and we're all princes who have hundreds of slaves, we dress in colorful silk and there's people cooling us with large pink feathers while I enjoy my seed free grapes on my extra expensive pillow in my palace of gold.

The fact is, Saudia Arabia is none of the above;

Unlike what 'type A' people think, we have cars, computers, very advanced hospitals, and a lot of technology going on, although we're a little behind, we're still there, and 3rd world is just an insult to our great country, and we have plenty of water, 200,000 leters of water costs 3 dollars here, and the saudi citizen is the third highest citizen in the world when it comes to using water.

And unlike what 'type B' thinks, this nation is one of peace, a few hundred terrorists don't change a thing, and they rarely attack in Saudia Arabia, and corrupted this country is not!, there're corrupted people just like anywhere, but they're invidiuals, and I'd say we have a very low crime rate because Alcohol is forbidden, and drug dealers get the death penalty as they should.

And unlike what 'type C' thinks, I don't stick my finger in the gorund and get oil flowing, oil did infact enrich this country by much, however, it is not to the extent that most people imagine, there's alot of avreage people, making avreage money and living avreage lives, there're rich people, and poor people, like any place else, but the avreage is the avreage because it's what most people are, avreage.


So, as you should have concluded, this place is just lie any other place on earth, there's nothing special about it, it's just our home, sweat sweat home.

Being Seventeen

First I will be talking about what it's like to be seventeen.

I believe that people aging from 15 to 19 are at a critical point in their life, it's either glory or failure, white or black, at this very age, your destiny chain is handed to you, and the slightest change for better or worse will determine how years of your life will be spent, the first homework you skipped intentionally, the first test you didn't study for, the friends you choose, the pressure is tremendous! because my whole future is standing on my shoulders, my own family that didn't even become fates are also decided at this time, the weight is too much, but you can't put anything down! nothing is less important than the other, the thoughts that come to me about the future make my chest hurt, I feel pressed on to the ground, and.. I.. can't.. get.. up..

Time runs fast and you can't do anything, you can't be at two places in the same time, you can't do two things in the same time, but the calanders sheets keep falling, you can't make them stop.

Being seventeen is good, because life is good, just be at peace with your self and your family and friends, make balance between the present and future, and believe in god, then believe in your self, as a wise ruler of the once greatest nation said: "I have a hair between me and the people, if they pull I let loose, and if they let loose I pull.", have a hair between you and life and make sure it doesn't break, if life falls on you hard, relax and take a look at your life, if life gives you a break, take it and make something of it.

Now take a deep breath, hold it.. .. release it, and enjoy life ^_^
