This is what happened, i posted this in the womens section... then it went missing. I was shocked to find it in the jokes section. I wonder who got offended. To me it's always the sistas. Always complaining. Not willing to hear the truth. Lefame :rolleyes: This topic is not a joke, and it was not meant to be in the joke section. But thanks guyz liibaan and rudy you guyz, exactly know where i am coming from.

I can’t believe that some of you think I am bragging about my income. :rolleyes: How could you not see my distress? If I was bragging then I would have told everyone how much I make without anyone asking. That was so funny, I was laughing my head of when you said that sheherazade. "Just say: In igu filan, alhamdullilah. If they persist say: Yaahuu." Loooooooolz, @ Yaahuu. I was laughing my head of with tears, it reminded me of my grandmother who always says "yaahuu" with her kool accent. I like that "in igu filan" I will give that a go. "I hope you make even more in the future to get all the Gucci and (real) Chanel you need. Inshallah." Oh thanks castro, but how do you know that’s exactly what I want to do. Lolz I always thought how much you earn reflects on your car, clothes and home not how much is in the saving account. That explains why I am not good at saving. Guyz, once again you have underestimated me. It wasn’t just a summer job. It was a high paid job. Everyone knows I work in a supermarket and that I am just a check out chick. Well I moved on… and used my degree(i'm currently studying) to get me that summer job . The reason I was concerned about this was,.... what happens when I graduate and get a job that pays even more???? I wonder how many times I will get asked that. Already everyone is saying that I will make a lot $$$$. "New twist on an old theme, the "gold digger" used to be thought of as the young girl who chased the older richer guy. Nimankii Aqli bay nagu yeesheen, ma tiri? Xitaa they purposely foget their wallet on dates." Loooooooooooooolz That is so funny. Say what??? You having me on??? I was really mad when this guys asked me to top up his petrol, he goes: "babe, hook me up with petrol money". Not only once, but twice :mad: . I thought that was bad. Forgetting their wallet, that tops it all. I’m still laughing.

This is not a joke. Who put in the joke section??? :mad:

Warrior, Like i said, this topic is not about how much I or YOU earn. Plus i would have to use that currency change calulator for all nationalities of Somaliaonline. People think i earn alot, because everyone in my family is well known. (nationally and internationally). :confused: i think thats the reason in a way! All my siblings have graduted from uni, everyone is doing a degree or holding down a good job. I think it runs in da family.

*She is first in and last one out of EVERY Somali wedding *She has more dirac and dhahab than she can afford *She claims welfare while having five children under age 10 and a husband that works *She is fashion conscious *Starts, continues and never ends gossip *She gives you dirty looks (because her husband said: "daughter of Asho is pretty") so she feels threatened *Qabil driven and knows her connections, and if you ain’t the same clan as her prepare to be b!tch about *Uneducated, unislamic, and simply Illiterate (in english, somali and arabic) *Checks you out every time she sees you *She is way older than you, yet she tries to copy your style *If she ain’t getting any in the bed, Mr Ali in floor 10 can give it to her when she wants it and how she wants while her hubby is at work. (this soooo happens in my town)

No, this topic is not about how much you make or how little you make. Sorry, that’s not me. I don’t ask questions like that. I get offended when anyone asks me that as matter of fact. I’m in my late teens and I have grown up in a western country but I’m still a traditional Somali Girl. One thing I hate is when anyone asks me how much I earn. I now understand that this is apart of the Somali culture, which is to show of how much you earn. Is their a need to ask anyone how much they make??? What is your aim when you ask someone how much he or she makes? Do you ever get offended when someone asks you that? Who do you ask? When I had my full time summer job, everyone knew my income and if they didn’t they would ask. Fine, I was getting paid A LOT, never in my life have I ever been paid so much . A distance family member asked me how much I earn, when I told her. She was shocked :eek: . Shocked at the fact that it was almost the same as her income with four kids she received from the government as a single mother. She felt awful for being a housewife and knowing how much she can make and how young I am for doing that. Currently: she's gone job hunting Not only that, I got really ticked off when another family member asked me how much I make. Lets not forget this time I was doing my first year in uni, quit my job and was receiving government money (still am). The sad case was that they knew that, yet they wanted to be informed about my student welfare money. What got me thinking about this topic was, when this dude asked me how much I make :eek: . I mean he was flirting with me and all, and he knows it’s my summer job. But I didn’t feel comfortable. Of course times like these you are put on the spot and you have no option :mad: . Fine, I might send the wrong signals out to people. So what? My Louis Vuitton bag is real. So what??? I wear Gucci. If it helps, my Chanel bag is fake. The Dhahab I wear at weddings belong to aunt Fatima, and aunt Leyla who wear ten-meter hijab. That big ring on my finger...baby it ain’t diamond it’s Cubic Zirconia. I hate people who ask this question especially when they are: spinsters waiting to be married off, a married mother who rips the of the government(claiming she is single), a guy flirting with you, eeeeeeehhhhhhhhh lets just say anyone that asks. I would just have to include them in this category or simply classify them in another category. I just don’t how to say politely: "it ain’t your business how much I make". Distance family members tell it to the community or they want to know for whatever reason. I just hate the Green Eyed Monsters out there, envying me and dying with jealousy and this can create animosity from their side. Scary yeah... i know I want to break this tradition. I hate ppl asking me that. I don’t so why do you???

Muhammad, every year i have some sort of goal, inspiration or a poem on The first page of my diary. Its always something to improve on or achieve. Diary of 2006 will include this beautiful poem on friends. Thanks for that.

This is nothing compared to what happened in my town, where a father did his own daughter while high on qaad and alcohol. :eek: Yuk, never marry a man like that. It was tragic; the girl was only 8years old. You couldn't imagine the familys crisis, the court case, the rumours and now..... he's holidaying in Somaliland. He runaway. What a bast!rd.

^^^ and other ppl names are a bit odd. Kenyan perhaps??? :confused:

I don't discriminate, but what happens if i get married to farah from hargeisa??? What are my chances??? and what about my kids aaaaah??? :eek: Na'mean jacaylbaro I'll stick to re-building xamar,,, and stay away from the HIV at the mean time (Since i plan to work in the health field) This is not to offend any somalilanderz here or elsewhere

I Always get asked, "so what is the HIV/AIDS statistics in Somalia"? My answer would be, "it's quite low since its a Islamic country and cruel punishments are given" I had no idea, AIDS/HIV exists in hargeisa. :eek: If you don’t believe me see article below. Now I know, I will not be going there. HIV/AIDS commission launched in Somaliland HARGAYSA, 16 Sep 2005 (IRIN) - Authorities in the self-declared republic of Somaliland, in northwestern Somalia, launched a national HIV/AIDS commission on Thursday which will plan and coordinate multisectoral efforts to curb the spread of the pandemic in the region. The commission would also design strategies for providing affordable and effective drugs to those living with HIV/AIDS. "It's real that the HIV/AIDS epidemic is in the country and already contributing to increased mortality, morbidity, fear, family disintegration, orphans, stigma and discrimination in our society," Somaliland's President Dahir Riyale Kahin said during the launch of the commission in Hargeysa, Somaliland's capital. "Denial of the disease serves as a negative fuelling factor of the epidemic and creates an environment of more stigma and discrimination in society," Kahin added. Religious leaders, women’s organisations, youth groups and UN officials -- including Christian Balslev-Olesen, UNICEF’s country representative for Somalia, and Leo Kenny, UNAIDS Somalia coordinator -- attended the function. Two HIV-positive people were also present at the launch. Balslev-Olesen said the campaign against the spread of HIV/AIDS must have the support of leaders at the highest level and commended Kahin for his initiative. He pledged that UNICEF would support the commission. Olad Omar, who is living with the virus, urged people in Somaliland to change their "negative attitudes" towards those who are infected. "I urge Somaliland’s president to take the lead by establishing AIDS clinics and counselling and testing centres in other regions. I also urge the rest of the population not to shun AIDS victims because that leads to stigmatisation and more suffering," Omar said. The president, who appointed 14 members drawn from governmental and nongovernmental organisations, civil society groups, the religious sector and the HIV-positive community, will chair the National AIDS Commission. It will have a full-time secretariat headed by an executive secretary, Muse Kassim Omar. The commission's mandate includes information dissemination, documentation, planning and monitoring and evaluation. The spread of HIV/AIDS in Somaliland has been partly blamed on poor access to voluntary counselling services, denial, stigma and late treatment. The prevalence rate in Somaliland among pregnant women aged 15 to 49 years is estimated at 1.4 percent. There are no precise figures on the number of people living with HIV/AIDS. Somaliland declared itself independent from Somalia following the collapse of the regime of Muhammad Siyad Barre in 1991. The breakaway republic is not internationally recognised.

Companies pay millions of money to seduce consumers into buying whatever they are selling. Good commercial is all it takes and products are sold. The supply of good men maybe low in your area, and the number of available females maybe greater and there you go adverstising the good qualities of your man,What did you expect? So true! Thanks for that Shirwac, now it makes sense.

Katrina, I know,...you say some guy is hot and the whole forum think you into white guyz :confused: its crazy. U understand atleast Alexus, lolz thats bit harsh gurl.

I am so scared to go to somalia let alone hargeisa.

Lexus, you are betta off helping the red cross, then moderating. hehehehe That is sooooooo funny! "seeing you grow on SOL" :rolleyes: hehehehe, Get my drift gurl Big-L

I'm a student, so i have to go to the hospitals to gain clinical experience. (in a surgical ward this time) It was my first week. I thought i will do okay, until i saw this hot young new graduate of medical school.(Distraction Identified already). He has been working in the ward for one year. He's blonde, 25 and hoooooot. All the students love him, all his patients adore him and he's just so good at what he does. Me.... I run away from him. But i will never forget that day when he went to lean over me to pick up a patients file in the office, we were so close. Tip: To find out if someone likes you, when you lean towards them... 1)if they move they don't like you 2)and if they don't they do like. (Gurlz, this is for the guyz) Walahi i have never seen any man made like that. I was dying for him walahi. It was quite unusual and everyone knew. In the hospital they call him "pretty boy". Walahi i became obsessed to the point i would marry him if he asked. Talk about love at first sight with a white guy. What is wrong with me??? It was only movie stars. You might be thinking what has this got to do with the topic???? I have a confession to make, the guy left last week (thurday at 4pm, how can i forget), i didn't have the chance to say goodbye, i was conviced he was gonna ask me out and convert. Me and the girls always talk about how smart, and how hot he was. Anywayz i lost him and thought maybe i should google his name. What do you know??? he happens to be the president of the medical student association. I knew what uni he graduated from and counted back the year he started. I don't want to say his name, he might google his name and find out that IT WAS me after all. Luckly alot of stuff came up... and his email was one of them. I find out that he is the organiser of the website for new doctors(new graduates) he is in his second year. His webiste job: aims to keep doctors in the country before they do one year here and go overseas. I even got his results on da net. I know his ID number He was ranked quite well . Long story cut short... I created a new email, emailed him confessing my love, and admiration for him. I should have saved the letter lol. Was i crazy or what??? i wrote this last saturaday i think the 10th. My name was "Amy" hehehe. he replied saying: "thank you, who are you". That was a strong dose of beauty for me, I love beauty and being intelligent tops t all. Now i feel so sad, i hope to see him one day. Yum Yum and Yum he was like brad bitt but HOTTER! Rudy, it might be some somali gurl you know. All ladies think the same. hehehehe There's a hint

Castro... its called "Good Looks" with good reference .

lol, I'm being honest LazyGurl . Lexus is not the only one, i'm sure i have a 20/20 vision when i just saw OG-Girl post something. (another attention seeker). I'm sure their is more. Jeez!

Lisa??? Hmmm! interesting!

lolz, i was bit shaky there. Walahi once i was chating (s.net). As usual i am in public and having a laugh until someone came to my luuq saying "you are______" i was shocked :eek: Was i in denial or what? That was scary. I never figured out what i said that made them realise it was me. I was having nightmares. Later on, i find out it was my sista's best friend who even confronted me in reality,.....once again i denied it.

Thats sooooo sad. What's worse is... this somali gurl here is locked for 2yrs and a half, and she is 24 now. *It's just been confirmed. Animal Farm, ask your parents what they did to somali women who went mentally ill in the civil war. Now thats really sad .

W/salaam Sista Red carpet rolled, Now impress us with you looks.

I wonder,... why i always become friends with gurls who stab me in the back, envy me, and gossip about other ppl. So unlike me,.... no wonder why our friendships never last. Thanks for that baashi, my aunt always tells me: "stop forming frienships with these ladies there are no good for you" It always happens to me, not my sista's. :mad:
