On this last day of Ramadan, I am blogging from my bed, to change from my desk which resulted in my boss discovering the blog, reading it and promptly blocking it! that'll teach me
So I am in bed, horizontal and relaxed albeit a little uninspired.
I am not sure how you're spending the last few hours of Ramadan but I know ALL are hoping to hear the good news that Eid is tomorrow, so that crescent better show it's face!
Third Eid in a row I am going to spend in the office and I am not very happy about it, I should be at home with my family eating Baklawa and hiding in my room when neighbours come to wish us Eid Moubarak, I say they come but in truth they race you to it in an attempt at collecting the hasanat the good deeds first, so they all come at once and invade your space whilst all you want to do is enjoy a coffee with cake quietly with the family. There is plenty of time in the day to go around to see people and wish them a MARVELLOUS Eid Moubark, just let me have my morning first.
Oh well at least I won't have to deal with this in the office tomorrow.
Let's just hope it's Eid, 'cos this chick can't take it anymore.
Eid Moubarak to all
Aaaaaaaaaaahh, le petit dejeuner le jour de l'aid. Avec toute la petite famille réunie. The best ever!
ReplyDeleteJe le passerai aussi au bureau. First time. Ca va être dur.

FIRST: am gonna change this email, cus dima yafda7 fiya. lool
ReplyDelete2nd: age is not a big deal :P, i think i can take care of a women like u.
3rd: i will run 100m for u. ( that is all i can do right now ) :P
@Dz-cheikh: sorry about x, it was before iftar :)
ReplyDeleteLes petits se foutent de ma gueule! maaliche!
@Soltan 1991: 100m is a good start, more training required, I am a runner you should know as Saode said, I run some kind of athon!
So you're not scared? you're ready for it? ;)
Dz chick: i will keep runing till i catch u, waraki w ezaman tawil kima ygolouha lmsarwa. :P
ReplyDeleteSoltan: to catch me, you'll need a time machine :) MWAH
ReplyDeleteDz chick: time machine?? all i will need is a rose on my right hand and a nice smile and u will be caught. :) lol
ReplyDeleteTime machine to catch me when I was your age :)
ReplyDeleteBut since you're so sure of yourself...a rose and a smile will sufice ;)
to catch u when u were at my age?? why would i need to marry a 20yr old girl?? rahoum ghir houma hna but none of them is smart and wise like u, i proposed bcus i see the women in u, nd i do like women in their 30s, lol so dnt blame me for wanting u :P
ReplyDeleteur just too good and too smart mashallah ( matedihach fi rouhk bezzaf ) :P
kilothons, you know those 3.5km that you run under 35 min :P
ReplyDeleteanyhow, to be continued ... now i can sleep ;) .
Don't worry manedihach fi rouhi as you say! my head didn't inflate yet!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how a 20 year old knows what he wants and sees what the 30 and 40 something fail to see! :)
I am going to sleep on it Soltan ;)
dnt worry sooner or later they will see what they r missing, that time it will be too late for them anyway. good night and sweet dreams future wife lol mwahh :D
ReplyDelete@ Soltan: you're still a little prince...you need to grow up to become a real soltan! I dont think a rose in your right hand and a nice smile will make our gracious dz-chick inflate and deflate...kiwwwwww...rak hab tetzawej? lazamlek sabat brillant!
ReplyDelete@DZ-Chick: don't inflate too much or it will happen to you what happened to the frog who wanted to become...
Don't worry for the x..I knew it was before iftar...
Yakhaaaaaah 7abou ybassiwk haha
ReplyDeleteSaha Aidekoum!
ReplyDeleteGo easily with the sweets...tcharek wa samsa wa makrout Al Louz!

ReplyDeletei knw a rose and a smile is not enough FOR U.. u deserve more then that. :) ( am impressed, usualy a rose with a pretty smile from me always work, i need to find other tricks... or maybe u just playing hard to get which u shouldnt do that with a soltan haha )
mm yeah if i find a lady like u i wont mind marrying her, i follow the brain nt the heart ya l3sal... not like u :P u said no to me just bcus of my email....

ReplyDelete@dz sheikh: aside meant my races by kilotons
@soltan: well an offer is an offer where is my diamond? ;)
To all Saha eidkoum
Y'diroulek les problèmes! (détournement de mineur hahaha). I'm kiddin' hein.
ReplyDeleteP.S: Check ur inbox
dz-chick, can't you see? HE's the diamond :P .
ReplyDeletei'm supporting him in his quest ;) .
ybassiwek...means they will do you tremendous problems!
ReplyDeleteAwah you're not Algiers-girl anymore!
PS: I am out regarding the kilothons...didnt catch it yet!
@Dz sheikh: I USED to run races like 5ks and such and they re apparently reffered to s kilotons!
ReplyDelete@S: oh I know what ybassiwek means I think I drew a blank too many baklawat :p
DZ chick: diamond??? i will rip my heart and put it on a ring for u.. will that be enough for u??
ReplyDeleteSoad: tell her plzz shes abt to make a big mistake by saying nn to me :P
@dz-cheikh:
ReplyDeletekilothons is a porte-manteau term derived from kilometre and marathon denoting runs in the order of km (5k, 10k e.t.c) as opposed to a marathon which is fixed to 26 miles and 385 yards.
our now famous dz-chick has been known to partake in such activity, refer to: http://dz-chick.blogspot.com/2011/07/jp-morgan-chase-corporate-challenge.html
Rip your heart out! ouch that's got to hurt! ok just get me the damn rose :)
ReplyDelete@Saode: I might have a job for you ;)
thank you pour les eclaircissements!
ReplyDeleteKech thon alors?
Happy Eid for all of you guys:) Honestly speaking I have to study French and Algerian arabic to keep following you. It's like biblical Babel tower :-)))
ReplyDeleteHello DZ CHEIKH: Yeah starting to train for a small race soon, just to get back into shape post Ramadan!
ReplyDeleteAfter the amount of cakes I had today...hello fat camp!
Thanks Iurlana, I know that's why I try to always respond in English so people follow the flow but certain things are funnier said in Algerian...if you don't understand anything let me know, I can translate.
ReplyDeleteDZ chick: sorry i run out of roses, i gave them all today, and for my heart am keeping it, i need it to keep me alive so i can think of u lol
ReplyDeleteoh right, what's the offer ;p ?
ReplyDelete@Sultan I am flattered and thank u for ur kind offer :) mwah
ReplyDelete@Saode have u got any PR experience? U seem tobegood at it...
no experience whatsoever.
ReplyDeletei'm good at it ... from behind a screen lol.
so hanouna of you to think of me though :-) x
I'm afraid I'm with Irulana, a real struggle to keep up with the French/Algerian and the bits in between. I can just about do ok on the french (Je suis canadien) but the DZ arabic... .
ReplyDeleteWhat does 'diroulek' mean? 'dialect'?
btw... so lovely to see that a single lass can pull, even when said person is just past the legal age ;-)
Saode: frombehind the screen is good for me ;) just you carry on
ReplyDelete@ Formosa: am sorry about that! Will fix it :)
As for pulling, I always do ;)
Guys let's try to comment on English as much as possible or add footnotes cheers :)
so this is a behind the screen job ;) ? you want me to be your PR executive? is that it?
ReplyDeletei don't understand darja either but am quite happy to lend a slightly esoteric vibe to proceedings. footnotes would be cool though rather than force commenting in english since certain euphemisms can get lost in translation and also encourage laziness on the part of the readers.
rako mdayrin fiha hala lol...soltan ya soltan...I will call you Mcdreamy mena w jay...ma3andakch sahbak kima enta ynahi kalbo w y7oto fi khatem....

Saode: yes I want to put you in charge of PR, I don't pay very well...in fact I don't pay! :P
ReplyDeleteDz chick: good. seems like u did like my offer... let me knw when u ready, so i can come with gateaux (cakes) nd flowers.
ReplyDeleteanonymous: hahah loool MCdreamy huh? u didnt see me yet, ( u will see me on my wedding day with Dz chick lol ) i've been told am way better then him on everything (specially looks, ''trying to impress DZ chick so she say yes''.) :P
lol ih 3andi sahbi kifi mais howa 3andou ch7al men galb mechi wahd bark! he will give u one today and grow 10 tomorrow ( ana ka3ba wahda. makch kifi ):P
Soltan: my experience with men is they're all talk and no action and am action before talk, we're just not compatible (me and men that is) ahhh well...So which kind are you? :)
ReplyDeleteget over urself hada lah, m sure kayen khir minak :D...awah madanitch wahed min kahl rass (algerien) ychabah fi mcdreamy especially the hair (ahhhhhhh his hair)....

ReplyDeletehanya
Hi Haniya: what did we just say? lol
ReplyDeleteTry to comment in English as much as you possibly can, we have non arabic, non french speakers who can't follow the flow of the comments.
So in response to your comment: no a not in an auto conference call, I was talking to my future-barely legal furture husband Soltan.
I am doing GREAT :) hope you're good and well miss. xx
haniya: ana manich kahl erass, ana byad. :P fiya 1.82cm. 3rid mechi smin bezaf, byad w 3andi cha3ri rtab mais mechi twil kima nte3 Mcdreamy. nd i dnt look like algerians. :P
ReplyDeleteDz chick: i like action thats why i proposed to u, cus i can see that ur an action girl :D, i dnt like drama. so i do what i wanna do.
Formosa: "diroulek" mean they do to you...
ReplyDeletewhat's in it for me then?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely nothing :)
ReplyDeletesurely, as a bankA you can see that this is not a very attractive proposition for me.
ReplyDeleteam not an altruist, and based on that ... am out!
seeing as you're both action-driven individuals, when can we expect to see some action between you and quote barely legal unquote soltan?
Pffff people do nothing for nothing these days! there was no such position in any case! economy is bad Saode! there is no work!
ReplyDeleteI am no cougar! ;)
embrace your inner feline spirit lol.
ReplyDeleteDZ chick: hahahah i dnt see a yes or no, ur totally ignoring me, :/
ReplyDeletednt worry i was just joking abt the wedding nd the proposal, it was a joke nd it seems u thought i rlly wanted to marry u, so u pulled urself out of the conversation ( typical algerian ). am not crazy to get married at 20yrs. so breath :P
Soltan: I don't know what to say, I am heart broken :P
ReplyDeleteBloody hell, I should hope I knew you were joking I thought that was quite clear! wasn't ignoring you baby I simply had no more retorts!
Chillax...
I am going to ignore that "typical Algerian" dig, I am nice like that...;)
DZ chick: :D i kind like the sound of baby :P
ReplyDeletei bet it sounds so good when u say face to face :P hahah
speechless and disappointed! you guys were joking? ;"(
ReplyDeleteAha :) yes baby!
ReplyDeletesaode: it wasnt a joke, :P but when i felt shes gonna say nn to me i made it a joke, i didnt want her to break my heart by saying NO to me :'(. ( i never cried for a women, shes a heart breaker.) :P )
ReplyDeleteDz chick: baby hadi not from ur heart. :(
Awww Soltan - it's from the heart baby...night night x
ReplyDeletesweet dreams, dnt forget to dream of me like am gonna dream of u
ReplyDeleteswet dreams
ReplyDelete*sweet
ReplyDeleteWhat is it here guys? a "Tronic-Love Story" or what?
ReplyDelete@Formosa: We will help you learn the Algerian colloquial language.
@Soltan: Rak Meragteha! *
_________________________
Meragteha: You are going over the permitted limits!
Hey,
ReplyDeleteIt seems like everyone is enjoying the end of Ramadan. Happy Eid to all.
Dz CHIKH: meragtha?? what did i do? till now am still good. :D
ReplyDeletedz... I'm really trying. but after 3 days in Japan, teaching as well as late dinners, its tough to understand anything.
ReplyDeleteBut do you realise that Google translate makes absolutely no sense out of any of the Arabic?
I think it is all secret girl talk but - yes please help me ...'learn the Algerian colloquial language'.
ok.. help me with one thing ... "..I am no cougar! ;) " What's the allusion to a cougar? Just someone with sharp claws and a fierce growl?
Algerian is not translatable on any dictionary!
ReplyDeleteI will teach u as much as possible but am sure you've picked up a few words no?
A cougar woman by definition is a women of over 40 who exclusively pursues younger men I think there is usually a difference of 10 years or more .... So you see I don't qualify! Phew
Ah, a veil is pulled away from my eyes.
ReplyDeleteSo... is the age difference for a cougar absolute or relative? just trying to work this out... 20 plus 10...
Still having trouble with some other words, for example how is the number 3 pronounced in the following...
"dz-chick wakila raki conference call m3a rohak" ?
by the way, aren't you at work and didn't you nearly get yourself fired for blogging away the company payroll?
ReplyDelete(for me it is time to sleep....)
Age difference is definitely relative,why d'u ask? :)
ReplyDeleteThe 3 is hard to pronounce we spell it with a 3 because the 3 looks like the Arabic letter for the sound, it can alsobe written with a double AA
Am blogging from ze smart phone!
the age threshold for cougar is fuzzy(some say 30s others 40s50s), BUT given the age difference you definitely qualify in this case.
ReplyDelete@formosa: check it out on urbandictionary to get a better understanding.
I would only qualify according to your description or that of Urbandisctionary, which remains reative! And of course the fact that I like them older than me!
ReplyDeleteEid Bouteflika! Not Mubarak, nor Ben Ali or Kadafi! :)))))
ReplyDeleteDZ chick; i think u should be called a milf not a cougar. cougar is a women on her 40s and 50s nd still looking good, milfs r in their 30s. lol thats what i knw :P
ReplyDeleteCannot believe I started this myself, not a milf, not a cougar, prhaps I should be called Dz-Chick!
ReplyDeleteSoltan: you were right! you're very cute ;)
Dz chick: i prefer dz chick too. i was right?? did i say am cute?? :P
ReplyDeleteNot per se...but you did in your own way! it's your bedtime now baby!
ReplyDeletethis is getting out of hand ... DZC you're leading him on now tut tut tut
ReplyDeleteAM NOOOOT! I like him! :P
ReplyDeleteI am also very bored right now!
do u rlly think i will be able to sleep while thinking of u?? ( i did get the msg by the way!! )
ReplyDeleteanyway have fun you guys :)
ReplyDeleteOk let's not start rumours here! lol
ReplyDelete"....the fact that I like them older than me."
ReplyDeleteReally?!
That's good and very useful for me to know. :-)
Flirting has gone pandemic :)
ReplyDeleteformosa: oh yeah? how so? :)
"how so?" duhhhhhhhhhhh! (normally i hate those american idiosyncracies but .. oh pEERRLEEeaaaaaaaZZZe!)
ReplyDeleteSaode I swear to god!!!!!
ReplyDeletethat's you being irritated or clueless? ;)
ReplyDeleteAre these these the only options? ;P
ReplyDeletenight x
you're a bit of a tease ya zilla :P
ReplyDeletegood night ∑
DZ-Chick has gone nuts *(rahate fiha)...we need to put some order here...it's like I am the owner of this blog...
ReplyDelete'How so?'
ReplyDelete[saode: I disagree, it is a perfectly valid, wide-eyed, innocent question:-) ]
dz- suppose that you had said the opposite? Something like'. .. cannot bear a man to be anything except lots younger'.
But either way, its all part if the therapy profile.
Keeps looking better with each new thing you add about yourself.
@Saode: not teasing...just reciprocating hamless flirting
ReplyDelete@Dz Cheikh: you're playing Moderator not Owner, and what's wrong wih me having a bit of harmless fun...
@formosa: If I had said the opposite, we would not be even having conversation and I wouldn't have realised you were older than me although I had suspected that.
So my profile is looking better huh! that's a positive assessment Doc :P
(short, waiting 4 flight to leave b4 180km/hr typhoon hits airport)
ReplyDeleteYeah, picture is pretty good, not just what u say about self but what gets revealed.
Moi je dis: Atlag'ni manich 9adek !
ReplyDeleteSorry for people who don't understand. What I said wouldn't have the same intensity in english
Whatever I have revealed about myself seems to have struck a chord with u!! How interesting!
ReplyDeleteHope ur safe, that typhoon sounds scaryyy
To anonymous who I assume is dz sheikh, am sure Soltan knows he's a bit below the age limit for me, we re just having a laug!
Dz chick: i smell jealousy in here. :P
ReplyDeletejealousy: if ur old enough for dz chick just show urself, am sure u can beat me on age. cus it seems dz chick dnt like younger men, so just show up with a sweet tongue nd u will win. :P
It's not DZ-Cheikh. It's S :-)
ReplyDeleteteaaaase! btw, was expecting you to comment on my special choice of word :P (to check whether it is fitting or not)
ReplyDelete@formosa: yeah sure, aren't we all innocent at heart? ;) .
Poor Little Amir he got stuck in his pencils...
ReplyDelete@DZChick: of course it's your own right to enjoy harmless and harmful kidding...not my problem...eventhough I would worry about bent bladi...by the way i guess I am bit older than u ...respect lady!
@S; we got the little prince hhahaha
Ah Ya Dz-Chick...you got confused...now I am sure that you won't recognize my writing if I don't sign...leghram eqayed eslatane!*
ReplyDelete_____________
* Love ties up kings and queens!
Saode: Yeah you're the one to talk!! and yes I did notice the use of "zella" your Algerian connection is serving you well.
ReplyDeleteDz Cheikh: Thanks for caring...but as it's all hamrless fun, all is good.
Perhaps I should publish something soon to change the subject from Soltan and Dz-Chick!
Tout a fait dzc...but it's fun to talk about soltan and dzc no!...
ReplyDeleteYou can either write about Eid, or about Libya...or ...
Something on Lybia would be good! ...or.....???
ReplyDeletesharing the cake!
ReplyDeletewhat? i'm a tease? teasing whom? it's all in the name of the PR campaign!
ReplyDeleteand who's got cake?
I am not sure which cake is Dz Cheikh talking about!
ReplyDeleteAre you PR'ing for me?
for maself! i might spin off from here and do my own blog.
ReplyDeleteThat would be cool, what would write about?
ReplyDeleteabout myself obviously, got so much to share with the world.
ReplyDeleteAnd we (not the royal we) would love to read all about it, we are all a bit voyeuristic
ReplyDeletelol je plaisante. i get more creative in commenting ...
ReplyDeleteMe think so too :) send me the tune!
ReplyDeletehahah you mean i better stay here and carry on PR'ing for YOU!
ReplyDeletethere's no new tune yet, i'll see if i have some time over the weekend to come up with something.
Precisely! :) I need to write something new over the weekend...I feel my fingers itching!
ReplyDeletelol good night
ReplyDeleteSalam, Hello..
ReplyDeleteWhere r u chick? we're still waiting for the new post of September....September I will remember...(Paul Simon's song)...
I am here, having a brilliant weekend...I will post something soooon
ReplyDeleteI just can not imagine with strong your blog greatly that saved me! Thank you “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” - Mark Twain
ReplyDelete150 comments?? How overwhelming!
ReplyDeleteThis post also marks the full coverage of your entire blog up to date (12/10/2012)in no chronological order.
You have stimulated me over the past few weeks which might result in withdrawal symptoms and potential harassement on your Facebook page and twitter account to supply my dosage!
THANK YOU so very much dear DZ-Chick for this fabulous blog....great discovery, you have even kept me away from books (hhmmmmm thinking of it, you are a dangerous lady)
I am certain you will meet your prince charming, unsure of he will come in an Algerian coating.
