One of the most annoying things about working from 9:00 to 6:00 is trying to figure out what the hell to order for lunch. There aren’t many options that are easy on your wallet, healthy enough to eat often, and yummy at the same time.

Fortunately though, there’s a new place that ticks off all three of those things. 3asrooneyeh is a ka’ek place near the Shamali Gate of Jordan University. They have a large menu, and their ka’ek are the whole-wheat Lebanese style, as opposed to the one we use in Jordan.

You can thank me later :)

Here is their menu:

They deliver, you can call them at 06-535-42-49

The serenity of sitting outside in the summer with a cool breeze and the chirping of birds.

Was missing around with Instagrm, here is my day:

Hahahahahahahaha. That is the most brilliant thing I have ever scene.

What is “loyalty”?

Is it about the colors? Is it about the fabric? Is it about the pictures? Is it about blind acceptance?

It’s not. Loyalty is about thinking. It’s about feeling. It’s about wondering. It’s about wanting. Loyalty is a thought-process, something you add to and remove from.

So what do the colors of the flag of Jordan represent? From Wikipedia:

“The flag of Jordan, officially adopted on 16 April 1928, is based on the flag of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The flag consists of horizontal black, white, and green bands that are connected by a red chevron. The colors stand are the Pan-Arab Colors, representing the Abbasid (black band), Umayyad (white band), and Fatimid (green band) caliphates. The red chevron is for the Arab Revolt.

The seven-pointed star stands for the seven verses of the first surah in the Qur’an, and also stands for the unity of the Arab peoples. “

In light of Independence Day, it’s the perfect time to highlight a Jordanian talent. Alaa Wardi is a musician currently living in Saudi Arabia. He studied music at the Department of Fine Arts at Jordan University, and continued his studies at the SAE.

What makes Alaa’s music special is that he has the ability to play an entire song with no instruments. It is pretty cool.

My favorite part is the facial expressions.

Here are some of his songs:

This is my favorite of his songs:

My second favorite song is called “Garfan Bil Soudeyeh”:

Everyone is going over this remake of Nancy Ajram’s “Fi Hagat”. I enjoyed it the least because I can’t stand Nancy Ajram.
