girls, keep your HEAD UP

Hola! happy friday :D 
I want to post a very special special song, that never gets old! it is "Keep your head up" by Tupac Shakur! its absolutely AMAZING, the words are BEAUTIFUL and it is nice to see a rapper speak in such a  way about women, usually rappers have a reputation of being very disrespectful to girls, refer to them as just materials or tools like their cars and houses and so on. and they also seem to LOVE to refer to us as the "B-word" and the crazy thing about this is, most of girls are OKAY with that?!? um excuse me? but I AM NOT JUST A TOOL. this is why I love Islam so much, people (who dont know anything about Islam) usually say in Islam is a religion full of oppressed women? uhm, unless you can go read the Quran and search for your self than you have the right to make such an assumption, anyhow, Islam is the only "way of life" that gives us Women so many rights, describes us as the most treasured ones, and the our Prophet said that "the best of you, are those best to your wives" and much much more, I love this religion for giving us the rights we deserve, and just because some Arab somewhere is not following Islam properly and take his wife as a prisoner somewhere does not mean it has anything to do with ISLAM. 
anyways I got a little off topic haha, but heres the song enjoy <3 

 this is verse one of the lyrics, for the rest of the lyrics click HERE

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots
I give a holler to my sisters on welfare
Tupac cares, if don't nobody else care
And uhh, I know they like to beat ya down a lot
When you come around the block brothas clown a lot
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
Forgive but don't forget, girl keep your head up
And when he tells you you ain't nuttin don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you you should leave him
Cause sista you don't need him
And I ain't tryin to gas ya up, I just call em how I see em
You know it makes me unhappy (what's that)
When brothas make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but keep your head up

Zumba!

Hellooooo!!! okay so I love to exercise, like the feeling I get it is a MAJOR stress reliever for me! Although I am not on the heavy side, it is still important that we all to exercise, being skinny doesn't mean you are "fit", fit is someone who is strong and able to do many tasks with out getting so tired quickly! so these last two weeks ive been going with a few classmates to a Zumba class which is held at the gym of my university! and let me tell you IT IS SOOOOOO MUCH FUN FUN FUN!!!!! it has a lot of hip-shaking belly dancing, Brazilian and Latino dance! all that. zumba originally is an aerobics class inspired by latino dance and international dance! every time I go there they always play this Moroccan song and the guy is like 'ANA WELD BLADIIIII" and im like moveeee over girls this is MY jam let me dance haha and the hour goes by so sososo FAST! your having so much fun that you dont even realize that you are actually exercising, and by the end of the class that is when you feel your abs your legs and hips, and you know if you can feel it and theres pain there than giiiiiirlll it is working! so c'mon ladies go to your local gym and sign up for classes, or your univesity or if you like to do it at home they also sell zumba dvd so you can gather a few girls and you guys can do it together but I still feel like going to a real class will be so much better!!! have fun and I hope you like my little idea! TC of your health and beauty both on the INSIDE and outside :)

Egypt Protest

Hello everyone, I hope you all are having a good week. however, it is with sadness that we sit at home while our Arab brothers and sister are dying all because this selfish president doesn't want to leave. im sure there a lottttt behind it, like yknow USA, Israel treaty and all that i dont really want to get into all that cuz i would not stop talking. at this point it doesnt even matter, if he does leave he is causing harm to the people of Egypt, to the arab world and to ALL of us. it connects us one way or another, there are people dying but its also very inspiring to see them all coming together as one and standing up for what they believe, may Allah bless them here and the hereafter. 
anyways, Id like to share with you guys this very disturbing video I found. 
let me know what you guys think if this whole situation 
XOXO-SL

Moroccan Arabic

Helloooo!!! it has been a while im missing you guys so mucho!! lol 
a quick update, my spring semester is going great so far! im on top of all my work everything is going well so far, hopefully it stays that way for the rest of the semester. 
anyhow I wanted to speak to you guys about the language in Morocco. 
just like other Arab countries, morocco speaks Arabic! however, Moroccan Arabic is not the same as Egyptian or Omani or Saudi or Lebanese Arabic. each country has its own words, slang and the accents. however, it seems like Moroccan Arabic is the hardest of them all, Moroccans can understand any form of Arabic when spoken, however most other countries cant understand us when were speaking. 
Moroccan Arabic consists of many languages in one, mostly Arabic (of course) but it also has french, Spanish, Berber and words from alot of other languages, this is mainly the reason why. 
each city has its own accent as well, you can pretty much tell the exact city a person is from by their choice of words and the way they say them. for example, someone who is from Marrakesh has a VERY noticeable "marakshy" accent, same goes for people from Casablanca and tangier and so on! many Moroccans also speak more than one language (aside from all the different kinds Arabic) most of time the second language is french, since french is the ultimate second language for morocco. there also exist Berber language, the Berbers are the original Moroccans before the Arabs came. and even with in the Berber language there are different kinds, like tamazight tashelheet and so on.

I found a video on youtube with different Moroccan dialects, hehe hope you enjoy :D
