at the moment im feeling like im trying to revive the dead............ this is one dead blogg...... where are all the people out there !!!!! anyway its still 2 weeks before Lacey Ward arrives in Beirut.......... so at the moment ill have to tell you about my New Zealand day life...... well here was my story today.........

	Today i was in town and at the lights i met this girl who used to be in the same year group as high school anyway we were chatting and we crossed the road and like when we got to the other side this person started laughing really loudly like hahahahahhahaa and we both turned around and looked at her and we were thinking "What the hell is she on about.........." and then she pointed at me and was like "Your Hairs on Fire !!!!!" and then they drove off.......... Well the other girl i was with was like "Shes really Fat............. we're not" well it didn't really make me feel better but you would think being really fat and ugly that she wouldn't be yelling out teasing my sexy auburn red hair..... anyway we sat down outside warrens bakery and she was telling me all about this business that shes just joined and stuff and she seems really good at the moment. Well im not sure but i think that really fat girl is the same girl that as i was walking home one night this car drove past and this whole carload of drunk people hanging out the windows were like "Praise the Lord for Lacey Ward............." Anyway im very very offended because 1. I am never ever ever ever ever !!!!!!!! mean to people about their weight !!!! i dont make rude comments to them.......... 2. Im never mean to people about wearing glasses......... in fact wearing glasses can make people look even more phyically attractive........... 3. Auburn/ Red hair is the rarest hair colour in the world.............. so it should be a good thing......i dont even know why she teased me about it Anyway the last time serge was going on about someone having blonde hair....... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i taught him a lesson....... i was like "oh thats great that you love blonde so much because i paid a lot of money and i've dyed my hair blonde.......... just for you" and hes like "NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOO" hehehehehehehe and then he got all upset going on and on and on about how much he loves my colour hair........ and in the end after torturing him i told him that i hadn't really dyed my hair blonde i just said that because he was annoying me trying to tease me about this blonde hair......... Oh !!! and i was in lebs at the ski fields and serge was like 'Check out that chick......." well she was one of the Russian Prostitutes that are sent to lebanon and like the guys can pay to take their favourite prostitutes out for the day.............. anyway she just had long blonde hair at the back..... and anyway later on i saw her.......... and she turned around and she had the ugliest face it was like one of those pug dogs like her nose....................... and i was like "Oh my god........." then i ran after serge to ask him did he see that chick turn around hehehehehhee and he had hehehehehhe Anyway next time if i see that girl and shes at the lights and im not with anybody and she says something about my hair, im going to run and open up the car door and undo her seat belt and try and pull her out of the car hehehehehehehehe then she can learn that as well as being very passionate lovers this red hair thats on fire can also give me a very fiery temper heheheheheh i could just imagine the look on their faces like they so wont expect me to go flying at them and pulling open the car door and trying to pull her out the car hehehehehheehe anyway so far thats my evil plot for revenge with her at the moment !

Can everyone write in and say there favourite places to eat in Beirut.

Serge wants to take me out for lunch the day when i arrive in lebanon monday 11th Feb but i dont know all the places in lebanon. Well if anyone knows some nice places in Zalka or near there then that would be awesome :-)

I wish i could promote this blog more....... all the people seem to have disappeared and left....... but hopefully they will return........ :-) As soon as im in Beirut and going to the night clubs and hanging out and doing cool stuff in the evenings then ill start blogging on the lebanese night life blog also :-)

A supposedly neutral group started the silliness when it plastered the country in "I Love Life" logos to promote peace and national unity. But the Hizballah-led opposition correctly interpreted this as a critique of it's culture of martyrdom of and armed resistance to Israel. So the opposition responded with it's own knock-offs of the "I Love Life" campaign.

Just when you thought that these cliches had been rendered meaningless to the point of absurd, the original "I Love Life" people have been adding more slogans to their billboards. They include "I'm going to work. I Love Life" and "I'm going to a party. I Love Life" and "I've got a class. I Love Life." The idea is to encourage people to carry on with ordinary life in the face of intimidation from opposition blockades and strikes.

Which seems fair enough, except that the "I Love Life" people continue to be dishonest and claim that they are a politically neutral group, when in fact, they are part of the political problem. If you have any doubt that the "I Love Life" campaign is in bed with the government and its Sunni, Saudi, and American backers, just ask yourself, who in Lebanon has the money to support a massive ad campaign that's gone on for almost three months? The billboards practically smell like oil wells.

So in the spirt of too much honesty, here's a top-ten list of slogans you will never see in a Lebanese political ad campaign:

"My daughter wants me to pay for her nose job. I Love Life."

"I've slept with ten of my college classmates and four Russian prostitutes, but I'll only marry a virgin. I Love Life."

"All my friends are out of work or have moved to Dubai. I Love Life."

"I'm staying here. But I'm applying for Australian citizenship just in case. I Love Life."

"I'm staying here. And so is my Sri Lankan housemaid, because I'm holding on to her passport. I Love Life."

"I'm embarrassed to be an Arab, so I say I'm Phoenician, even though that civilization ended over 2,000 years ago. I Love Life."

"My husband has three other wives. Younger wives. I Love Life."

"My family has lived in Lebanon for almost 60 years but we still don't have citizenship because we're Palestinian. I Love Life."

"Foreigners keep screwing up our country, but we keep taking their money. I Love Life."

Hey Everyone !!!

Well i've joined forces with Kodder to breathe some new life and energy into this blogg. For the time being it looks like ill be your main blogger as Kodder has left us for Scotland.......

I guess you are all eager to know a little bit about me. Well my name is Lacey and I am a New Zealander......... (the country the furtherest away from lebs i.e if I lived any further away then i would be heading closer to lebanon) Im 20 years old and I think that im a really fantastic girl and hope that you all really enjoy my blog !!!

So your wondering "whats she got to do with Lebanon" Well I have the worlds most sexy romantic and wonderful boyfriend. His name is Serge and he lives in Lebanon and next month in February im moving to Lebanon to live with him.......... AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH im SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited guys !!!!!! well i've been to lebanon before but it was only like for a month and that was 2 years ago........... so im really really excited and nervous about moving there on 8th February 2008 !!!!!

I met serge when I first got my computer at 13 and was very amazed at meeting people from other countries well i met him in these msn chat rooms that no longer exist anyway serge and I have loved each other for 7 years now................ and we are very very close soulmates...... I think we are made for each other we are soooooo perfect and happy together.

Well one of the first experiences i had of lebanon was when i had just arrived and i met serge for the first time in my life... well his sister had come also to pick me up from the airport. Well i never realised that in lebanon they drive on the opposite side of the road and the steering wheels in the cars are on the other side..... anyway i got my bags and everything and serge opened the door for me to get in the car and I just stood there thinking "oh my god they want me to drive.........i've just had 24 hours of flying....... and i dont even know where we are going......." LOL so meanwhile serge and nairy were standing there saying "get in get in" LOL anyway eventually they realised why i was so hesitant to get in the car hehehe

Well i would love for anyone who reads my blogg to leave their comments and it would be great if i could meet some other people who are living in Lebs too. Anyway Love you all I must go now Byeeeeee

since I am no longer in lebanon, this blog needs new bloggers .
if you think you got what it takes please leave a comment.

hmmm... Beaches are coming back alive slowly now. but it will take a really long time to get back their full status again, most roads leading out of beirut(where most nice beaches are) are bombed hardly and no body would take a 3 hours road trip thru alternative roads and risking breaking his car just to go to the beach. Added on that that our beaches are really poluted from the oil that the criminal israel made it spill all over by bombing our main oil tanks all over the cost.
Thank you Israel alot, oh by the way we aren't the only people who are getting affected , syria, turkey and greece will soon join us.

okay, remember the first post? the 200,000LL entry? well its in here.
Orkid price range starts from 20,0000LL till 200,000LL. Of course you get jaquzi and stuff like that for 200,000LL. But even so its too much in my opinion for 1 day, for $80 you get a one month gym membership in the most luxurious health clubs that includes jaquzi , steam rooms and what ever you want.
On the other hand Orkid's location was nice (jeyeh), it was quiet and relaxing (good relaxing music unlike Oceana), the white theme looks good on it, Leather chairs, nice Pool.
There was even a model doing a photoshoot while we were there.
For the first 2 hours me and my friend were the only 2 guys between like 30 women, which was nice :P.And no, no strings no topless :P.
Its apparently a very luxurious "beach", my car in its parking lot was the worse car in there.There were new porches, new mercedes, new range rovers I felt kinda outa of place.
But if you have some money to spend and you don't care go there and relax.
(the food is cool too :) ).

I don't know what Oceana is, its not a beach, its not a resort, its not a nightclub... its a mix of everything.
What I like about Oceana? the section for 18 and above, because frankly I don't like being around kids yelling and crying.Love the strings, topless, and hot women dancing and playing with fire.
What I don't like? the pool, its for hanging out and not swimming, my friend who shall remain anonymous wasn't allowed to swim because he was annoying the drinkers in the pool. You want to swim? you go to the not-so-sandy beach.
Food is okay there, they have crepaway, dunkin donuts etc.
so really dunno what to define it. But its fun all and all if you like to check hot bodies out. and Frankly that's what most people do when they go to the beach :P.
