Boycotting


So somebody posted this on facebook with a reponse "What are we waiting for then?"
First thing first. All of the items listed above, EVERYONE in this world buys them. EVERYONE! You wanna get 7 billion people to boycott them? Really? Let's not talk about the whole world right now. Just Muslims. You can't possibly get the whole Muslim society to boycott the Israelis. YOU CAN'T! 

Yes, we can try to not buy all these products but somewhere along the way, YOU WILL BUY IT! There's no denying in that. 
I am a Muslim myself and I'm not saying that I am supporting Israel because what if the only food you have around you is McDonald's? What if the only coffee you can ever buy is Starbucks and Nestle? You not going to buy them and starve? You got to be realistic. There is approximately 1.6 billion Muslims around the world. You CANNOT expect this number to boycott them because the rest of the 5.4 billion people are going to keep buying them. And what is 1.6 compared to 5.4? 

Yes, we all can try but I am telling you, there is no way the whole 1.6 billion is going to go along with your plan to not buy these products because we will. Just like they say above, "you will use it". We cannot deny the fact that no matter how much you support Palestine, MAJORITY if this 1.6 billion Muslims are going to buy it. 

I'm not saying don't try, but be realistic.

Salam,

University

Hey guys! Finally have started school. It's Wednesday and I'm done for the first week. HAH! How 'bout that? Anyway, University life and poly is very different. Poly is like when you're about 3 or 4 years old and your mum is kinda feeding you but you also feed yourself kind of thing, you know. University is when you are 5 years old; your mother will tell you what to eat and you feed yourself. Well, at least that's what degree is like. I can't imagine people taking their Master's Degree and PHD. *Oh, and one of my housemate, the Spanish girl, sutdies PHD in marine sciences.* So, A LOT of self study which is honestly not what I am up to. I already have an assessment to do. Deadline is in 3 months and I have no fucking idea what to do. So, yay for me! And it's like 50%. I can't even... So I mentioned in my previous post that I have a housemate that already moved in before I did. For the sake of privacy, let's call him J. He's British and

The United Kingdom

It has been 2 weeks since I've arrived in the UK. So I toured a bit of London before coming to Plymouth.  LONDON I was a very boring tourist. Actually, I'm really not. My aunts are. They went to the usual places like Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, London Eye, Buckingham Palace, etc. Which is cool but I wanted to see more such as their business area; the Lloyd's Building and all. Places not a lot of tourists go, you see. But it's alright I guess, I loved it. The Changing of Guards at the Buckingham Palace was great. There's the marching band and all. Damn, I like that part best. Hahaha. It brought back a lot of memories.  We went to the Harry Potter studio as well. Gosh! I wish I could live there! It was AMAZING! I don't really know how to explain it to you guys. All the props, the costumes, behind the scenes, the drawings, models of all the buildings including the MAJESTIC school. Greatest thing I've ever seen. I can't even begin to express my feel

My Temporary Job (Esprit)

So I've found myself a temporary job, a part-time job at Esprit as a retail assistant. I've had a part time job before back in 2011 when I worked as a temporary payroll assistant. But that was working in the office, 5 days a week kinda job. Doesn't really feel like a part-time job. This, working as a retail assistant, working during weekends, with so many off days feels like a part-time job. I was really glad I found a job. This job. Though I kind of feel like I was downgrading myself. From an office person who should be still working at Senat Shipping got retrenched and started working in retail. Thought I wasn't really going to enjoy working as a front liner in retail because it is way way outside my comfort zone. I was wrong. It has been 3 weeks in since I have started working at Esprit and I am really enjoying it. I really do. Serving customers (fucking strangers) and other retail stuff (you know, folding clothes and such). So far, I have not yet encountered stu
