Bakbooki or Mbakebka is a Libyan traditional dish,it is simply macaroni/pasta with runny tomato sauce.It is loved by almost everyone,even foreigners who try it for the first time. The only thing I and any other Mbakebka eater hate about the dish is trying to eat it when hot,you always have to wait at least 10-15 minutes to start eating it,this is due to the sauce (margga). Bakbooki is a fast and easy dish to make,it is always the backup meal for any Libyan family when there is no time to cook something fancy.
To prepare Mbakebka,you must have pasta,any type will be just fine,tomato paste,tomatoes,hot water,spices,potatoes,carrots,chicken,and chic peas.Its up to different people weather or not they want to add mushrooms,peas,sea food. First of all,slice some onions and add some oil,then put the pieces of chicken,all this is done in a tanjra over the oven. Add the spices (bharat,filfil,salt). Slice some fresh tomatoes and add half a can of tomato paste,mix everything together,you could add some garlic to give the whole thing a kick.Add water to the half or more,depends on your family.You keep that for about 15-20 minutes over hot fire then later comes the potatoes and carrots as they don't take much time to get ready.Add the pasta,it should take about 7-9 minutes then its should be ready.Pour the whole thing in a huge bowl (gas3a). Instead of pasta you can use Reshta (reshtat burma/reshta mbakebka),or rice (roz mbakbak). Enjoy and get your tongue burned!!

17 OF FEBRUARY
seventeenth of february is the day when rebels in all regions of libya started the revolution. This day was the start where many young men sAcrified themselves so that we can live today.
Every year people will celebrate in this day , so that to make those who lost their chlidren in freeing libya become proud.
I myself enjoyed that day , as i woke up in the early morning of last friday which was seventeenth of february , i read quarter of the quran for those who sacrified themselves for us , then after a few time i went with my friends to pray in the mosque, the mosque was incedible people were dressed as if it was the eid and even the way the situation was as if it was one of our eids. As we finished praying , we decided to eat dinner in my house and then to go to alshuhada square .
As we reached there we started to wave with our flags ,we spent most of our time waving. for sure we did other things like singing the national anthem for more than one time until i almost memoried it.
at about 9 pm that friday the situation became realLy excited, where we where given balloons so as to write the rebEls names in our family and then alLoW them to move in the sky. I actually didnot have any rebels so i wrote tHe name of my friend who died in the revolution.
At about 11 pm my friends and i were really exhauStEd so we decided to go to our homes.
in conclusion, the seventeeth of february is a day that all libyanS will celebrate in every year SO as to make the parents of all who were killed in freeing libya become proud.

What I want to do after 10 years.
What I want to do after 10 years is to be a part of the ministry of youth and sports so I try and add new sports and hobbies to the country or care about unpopular sports because not all people play football,basketball and all those sports that include a ball or running , there other people who play other different sports such as skateboarding or mountain biking and allot of other sports that are missing in this country.
This way the youth will have things to do in their spare time this will let them avoid bad things such as smoking,drinking or wasting time in the streets and let them look forward to championships or tournaments maybe this way they can make their country proud of them .

Gay Rights In Libya
It's not okay to be gay ; you can call me 'narrow minded' or what ever you like but I'd never believe in a man-man relationship .
All the respect they're having , the appreciation they're getting is a bit awkward when scientists develop in many fields like aviation , biology & electronics are never mentioned , while gays like hairstylists and fashion designers are known globally .
In a country like Libya , this would be the weirdest thing ever ,were a muslims give gays rights ! lets start with the marriage , how can it be legal to have a man-man marriage ? Who's going to play the wife's part ? If a problem goes on between the couple , who's going to 'divorce' the other guy ?
These kinds of marriages are prohibited by Islam , Allah & even in the Holy Quran it's forbidden for two men to get in an affair .
In Libya , we youth gets prostitutes with no legal actions ,when Jack Daniel's is sold cheaper than water , when Mariguana is given for free (5 leaves for each citizen) , when another Vegas is built in our enormous desert , that time can ask for their rights
In the end of this , Allah might have brought gays up to this world for a reason that we'd never know .

UFO

There has been many phenomena all over the world that excited people to know more . one of these phenomena is ufo. UFO is an acronym for Unidentified Flying Object. Any airbornevehicle or phenomenon that cannot be accounted for by qualified, experienced investigators using modern, accepted equipment and methods is classified as a UFO. Although UFO's are often attributed to extraterrestrial life or technology, no conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial origin has ever been made public. In fact, very little evidence even suggesting extraterrestrial involvement has ever been recovered, other than eye-witness accounts of unusual acceleration and maneuverability not possible by current human technology. Despite the lack of evidence, many people choose to attribute any unexplained celestial circumstance as the work of extraterrestrial intelligence.

Death Response
Death is an unfortunate event that happens without any warning. It may cause you losing a very close person to you. Feeling the loss is even harder than thinking of living with it.
The moment you get the news of losing a loved one you feel like getting your heart stepped on. Just after that feeling is gone you will start to think that it may be impossible to keep the your life’s same routine running because of the loss.
I have experienced what I wrote too many times. All the feelings may disappear after few days but you will still think of it going although you forget but you can remember, the moments , which gave you the thinking of having wonderful friends, and the moment and the feeling of the loss your life.
No better way of giving that person the true attention needed and showing him your true love than the Islamic way, where the person is carried on his/her friends shoulders and given his/her last ride to the grave , in a funeral procession. As God described in Quran you came from soil like particle and to soil shall you return. And also described in Holy Quran as we gave you the soul it shall return back .
Sp without any warning you may experience what I just described, that is death and we have to deal with it.
AbdulRahman Kahil G:11
