LuLu's Bahrain: Stop crying, Start saving

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2008/01/stop-crying-start-saving.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. Stop crying, Start saving. 1 Treat yourself like another entity and pay yourself first. 2 Automate your savings. Direct deposit is one way of ensuring you get your money safely into your account without worry. Without it, I tend to second guess myself wondering if I’ve received all my pay checks and whether I’ve deposited them all. Direct deductions are a superb way to channel money into savings. 3 Pretend you didn’t get a raise. If you were prepared to pay full price ...

LuLu's Bahrain: Al-Wefaq's Lost Compass

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/12/al-wefaqs-lost-compass.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. أكد الشيخ علي سلمان في خطبته بجامع الإمام الصادق في الدراز أمس، أن «الانفلات الأمني لا يخدم المصلحين، بل يخدم من لا يؤمن بمنهج الإصلاح، ويخدم طبقة لاتزال قوية ومتنفذة وسيزيد نفوذها بالانفلات الأمني، وسيحقق لها مكاسب استراتيجية عاشت عليها عقوداً وستكون سعيدة بأن يعود. So where do we go from here? People in this country have never been so disillusioned. I hope we get over this leadership crisis soon. Dec 30, 2007, 2:47:00 PM. Only God knows where we can go from here....

LuLu's Bahrain: We're a million: Math 101

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/12/were-million-math-101.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. We're a million: Math 101. So recently the government made an interesting non-announcement in parliament. Apparently, according to a statement by the Central [dis]Informatics Organization (CIO) to parliament, Bahrain's population finally reached a million. Now, setting aside the question as to why we remain in the dark when it comes to official statistical figures of the CIO, something just doesn't add up. If we go back to 2001, the official statistics were as follows:.

LuLu's Bahrain: Who killed Ali Jassim?

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2007/12/who-killed-ali-jassim.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. Who killed Ali Jassim? I have to say that I tried my best to stay away from this issue, simply because as everyone else, I don't know all the facts. I don't know if tear gas can kill a person, and I don't really know if it was police brutality that killed Ali Jassim Makki. On 10 December 2005, Al-Wasat reported this about Ali Jassim:. This is really sad to read. Sometimes I wonder where we are heading or regressing to- especially as I've been away for 10 years. I total...

http://lulubahrain.blogspot.com/2008/01/dancing-bush.html

Political diaries of a pearl diver. Knowing me though, put your spoiler alert on:. For the opposition's open letter to Bush on the progress of reform, democracy, and human rights in Bahrain (don't ask me why it's in Arabic. maybe they saw the dance and assumed just a bitttt too much). You make a good point there. WHY is it in arabic? Jan 14, 2008, 8:44:00 AM. يمكن ما يعرفون انجليزي. Jan 14, 2008, 5:27:00 PM. Lulu and Ammar: it's a publicity stunt. nothing else can explain it.
