As a Jordanian I have strong passion toward Falafel by birth and recently it became a weekly habit to eat Falafel at least once a week and like most Jordanians who owns KIA Sephia I put Al-Qudss’ Falafel on the top of the list, Fouaad Falafel downtown comes in the second place as a favorite Falafel place although I do not go there that much, for easy access and almost 24/7 Falafel I do not mind Abu Jbarah restaurant 2nd Circle and the story of over complicating the falafel sandwich started there.

Two days ago I went to second circle aiming for 25 Sandwich for the hungry family and because each one have his own customization for falafel I had to write it down, some of them did not want Tahini salad but Arabic Salad, other wanted some red pepper, some wanted some extra pickles; so far things were just fine as we are used to customizing falafel sandwiches,one size fits all does not work with falafel and in fact falafel businessmen are used to to give the consumer the liberty of customizing the sandwich for free with big smile but let me rephrase it, They were used but it seems they are not anymore.

If you are not a Middle Eastern then you might think that my family complicating the order but they are not, customizing falafel sandwich has always been normal and most importantly FOR FREE.

So I went to the cash, paid for 25 sandwich and I hand the customization list once I went inside to the Chef and he compared it with my chit he started to explain their new algorithm of counting the cost of Falafel Sandwich; instead of asking for Super Falafel or Extra Falafel you have to mention to the cashier how many customization per sandwich you want to have, for example the default ingredients of Falafel Sandwich is Falafel (Of course), Hommus, salad (Arabic of Tahini) and some pickles but that how it used to be and now if you want add any item to the default one you have to pay 5 piasters although they do not mention the amount of that add-on, although this isn’t a good thing but it might be acceptable especially with the price inflation but the ridiculous thing is that if you ask him not to include Tahini and instead you want some hot pepper and extra pickle they will count them as TWO extra items although it is just one as you just excluded another.

So next time you go to Falafel Showroom make sure to bring your Scientific Calculator with you and maybe soon we will hear about Falafel customization for dummies, Customize your falafel at ZERO cost CALL US NOW or maybe we should start doing Falafel at home.

I realized that

1. Voluntary work might turn into business
2. Keeping the spirit of voluntary work while doing business is impossible
3. closing your voluntary work circuit by opening a business needs funding
4. hunting for investors is hard but drawing their attention is easy

I have also realized that

1. I did not buy a lighter for quite long time, Sorry guys for stealing your lighters
2. getting busy helps in quitting smoking
3. girls are mean *I realized that before and I’m emphasising it here*
4. blogspher is biased, a very untrusted source of news and information
5. When inviting someone, you should keep your doors open and the same if you are visiting, check if their doors are open
6. There are plenty of ideas to make money without leaving lovely Jordan, but they needs money too
7. That Turkish taught Syrian the secret of serving good meals so we better hunt for Turkish rather than Syrian, Tamam afandem?

I just love Mahjoob

I’m a believer and I do believe in miracles, my laptop is back to life with the generous help of Toshiba Jordan – SMS Group, they replaced the mother board, the keyboard and planning to change the HDD TOO!

I really have no idea how or what happened to my laptop, first two keys weren’t responding at all so I thought it’s just the keyboard and the day I went to SMS the LCD died, again I have no idea why would that happen, I have strong faith in Toshiba Tecra laptops and having a keyboard issue might be because I use it heavily and maybe my big fat fingers and again maybe.

Anyway, Today Toshiba Jordan called me telling me that my laptop is ready now after replacing the keyboard and the mother board and they told me that they’re think that my H.D.D is dying too so they ordered a new one from Toshiba Europe and meanwhile I can use my laptop.

Toshiba Jordan – SMS Group, You saved my life once again THANK YOU guys and WELCOME BACK SASHA

Sasha was a good friend of mine, we used to spend the day and night together, Sasha served me well and honestly I wasn’t expecting such news from Toshiba Service Center about her condition.

And the beast shall be made legion. Its numbers shall be increased a thousand thousand fold. The din of a million keyboards like unto a great storm shall cover the earth, and the followers of Mammon shall tremble.

Goodbye Sasha, Goodbye my good Tecra A8, I will always remember you.

I have been a flickr member since 2004 and a pro member since 2005 with total payments of $99.80 for their pro account, I used to love and respect flickr because they have that solid identity of photographer base, a place where you you can upload your photos and receive comments from good photographers, a place where you can view seriously professional photo streams and enjoy socializing with photographers at the same time.

Recently flickr decided to go video so now it’s a photo and video sharing website which to me means they lost their identity and my passion to them, honestly flickr now is just like any other Web 2.0 bubble that we are witnessing.

I understand that they needed to expand their market and community but does that mean adding video to their service? I wonder why they did not launch a new website and kept flickr identity safe.

seems like social networks rise and fall just like nations and I believe flickr is falling now.
