Hello all, pretty cool, much frequent updates...lol... now that we have internet, we check our email every two days and we have decided to take turns updating the blog.. so somedays our blogs will be really short cause not that much to talk about... but atleast updates will be there... btw, leave msgs cause we def read them and appreciate them.
anyways, as the title says, missing the lakers man!!!! since we have been here, the only thing we have missed is family and friends... i used to love watching football, but dont miss that at all, but now that the lakers season has started, really missing the lakers... im more excited to check the scores of the games then i am to check my email..lol. but im glad to see they are off to a good start, especially with Lamar Odom being injured...
as Sabiha mentioned, last friday we had a bbq with all the teachers and their families there, and it was really cool. but the best part of the evening was that we had Camel meat.. lol... they bbq'd camel kabobs and I really enjoyed them. They definitely had a different taste to them, but meat is meat...lol. Being here in Syria, we eat alot more bbq meat then we did back home, its the safer thing to order i think when we go to restaurants... and the Syrian ppl love their french fries, every rest. we have been to has had fries, and it works great for me cause I am a potato and meat man!!! lol.
ALSO.... we watched American Gangster last thursday... yup thats right, last thursday, and it came out in the states on Friday..lol..LOL.. thats soo cool... it was a good movie... as sabiha has mentioned in a previous blog, there is a store here that sells movies, so someone we know picked it up and we borrowed it... pretty cool...
AND... we bought our first Shisha (hooka) today..lol about time huh...lol, i know... it took us two months but we got a really nice one today. We went out with our friend Ebrahim today and he took us to Damascus to buy a good quality one. So we bought everything... the actual Shisha, three flavors of tobacco, foil paper, coal, coal holder... the works.. and for much less then we would have spent for a less then deceent quality shisha back home.
Anyhow, thats it for now... will write more later.
take care!!

aww Jaffer, sorry you're missing your precious Lakers =(
Ed's pretty excited about the Celtics doing so much better this year, now that they have Kevin Garnett or something like that.
and guess what? tickets for the Lakers/Celtics game are $1500 and up! sheesh!
hope you're taking care out there!
Salaams Jaffer and Sabiha,
I have to say your blog is very entertaining and informative. I wish you all the best and pray you and the other couple are both successful in your journey towards Allah.
Salaams Guys,
Really nice to hear that all is going really well.. Also good job on the exams! Keep up the good work.. We are all really excited for you.. Inaya really misses her Chacha and Chachi.. she is growing up so fast mA.. we keep showing her pictures so hopefully she'll remember you guys!
I will send you some more pics of her too..
Lakers are the same inconsistent team as ever.. they blow out Phx and beat Utah.. then bow down to the Hornets.. but its fun watching them play as theyre trying to play a different style..
OK guys. take care and iA we'll talk soon..
Salams
Careful with the Shisha...it is like smoking 100 regula cigarettes all at once. If you can get non-tobacco fruit flavors, it is fine.
Say salaams to Sami. InshAllah I will spend more time in my next trip and see what you guys are doing.
