*Maat was at the Marcel Khalife concert. I hate her for not getting me tickets. I was considering disowning her, but she got me Pepsi on her way home, so I reconsidered.

LOL @ "Hanine meen, sa7bet el kiosk??". My mom usually comes up with similar hilarious questions :)
you know, i remembered today about the whole conversation we had afterwards as Marcel Khalife played, she had her own theories about his name and origin!!
only i am keeping that conversation to myself to preserve presteeji, it's too embarrassing to share... fel akher de mama :))
Looool!! Can we help it if all good performers have weird names? You should've seen the looks on the faces of everyone in my family when I was going to Lena Chamamyan's concert last September, it was in Ramadan on of those family gathering days, so it was double the mock and triple the sarcasm! Btw, I just found out that Marcel is Palestinian last night, I thought he was Lebanese cause of "Beirut-Pictures in Black and White"!
marcel khalife is not a weird name, my mom is!!
i never knew he was palestinian!! according to wiki he's lebanese!!
anywhoo, ma confused him with noseir shamma, and assumed he was iraqi :)
and yeah, what's with the names... i can't wait to get baba's reaction when he hears of fayrouz kharawya :D boy will he have fun!
Marcel? Da wa7ed walla wa7da?
W Bey3'anni?
Rabena yehdeeki!
LOL
This is more or less what mama said, she said marcel is a girl's name... but WE made fun of her being a name specialist and all :D
