List your local Eid Celebrations in this thread.

Ramadan is flying by fast and I am shedding weight like a lil kid in Baidoa.

I am waiting for the end of the offseason to get back in the game.

[Mystic_Angel]

Aren't you lucky to be in baydabo???

I missed buur hakebo for the hollidays....oh those were the days..

[Luq_Ganane]

Dude,

I've lost about 9 lbs already.

[AbdiWahab252]

Luq,

Good lord, you need to eat a little more. I am down 5 pounds and on my way to shedding another 15 before the end of the month.

So whats happening in your hood ?

Mystic Angel,

I miss the holidays in Marka too.

[Luq_Ganane]

A/Wahab,

I don't eat Suxur, and I don't eat a whole lot of afur because my stomach can't take all that food one time, and I don't eat a casho. Plus the days are looong now unlike last time.

[AbdiWahab252]

Luq,

Is your future 'seedi' planning to throw a party in your hood ?

Is he bringing any popular singer too ?

[Luq_Ganane]

^^

I have a seedi?

[AbdiWahab252]

Luq,

Yep, The Muru + your favorite qabil) = get it ?


VA is the sort of place where you get seedis without knowing it. It happened to me and all of a sudden I am getting free coffees, warm welcomes from the rival koox at Doofarley Starbucks.

My mom gets a call asking if I had gone made and what drove me to this woman yada yada yada

Then I find out its another close relative of mine but since my rer are few in metroDC area, some folks thought it was me

Like every Eid, we are going to gather at this facility that we rent out, prayer will start at around 8:30 AM, followed by a khutbah, people swap gifts or share sweets, then everyone goes their separate ways.

I am planning on taking my nieces & nephews to Georgia Aquariam: the world's largest aquarium and its right in the heart of downtown Atlanta. Then after that maybe swing by for pizza and sodas.

Go home & take a power nap, wake up at around 5 PM, stuff myself with sweets & tea.

Then at nightime, we have a community Eid dinner at our masjid that we go to every Eid, its more a social gathering than anything else.

Can't wait!

Koronto,

I guess once u get married, the fun stops

[Koronto91]

Abdi,

Define fun?

I was never one of those people that go clubbing or go to a Somali concert on Eid, boqol ku soon baqti ku afur? Naah.

[Luq_Ganane]

A/Wahab,


LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL at the "Rival Koox at starbucks".

Naw man. Thats still a ways away. Lakin in due time you'll get your barris n helib ari

Yea man, the world of marriage and inlaws is amazing. Btw, are you one of those guys who prays the 12:00pm Salatul Eid prayers, or are you one of those super early after Fajr types? Its because of people like me the Masjids have like 10 different prayers.

[Luq_Ganane]

Koronto,

When was the last time you hit up Safari, or the halal Somali pizza place, or the donut shops in that little strip mall near Sunnah?

Btw, that lady at the Safari restaurant serves the best shah I've ever had at a somali maqayat

[Koronto91]

Luq,

Are you telling us there are people who pray 12 PM Eid prayers? On what planet?

Madina restaurant is by far the best in ATL, better than Safari...

Its on Memorial Drive, not far from Masjid Assunah and boooy do those reer waqooyi dudes know how to cook...

The halal pizza is the place to go if you want to unleash some bent-up verbal frustration, I almost fought a MJ, about 4 months ago, luckily I was stopped by my brother-in law. I haven't gone back since then...

[AbdiWahab252]

Luq,

I go early to get the best line and of course, I used to go parking lot pimping with Xalimos, Ashas and the rest. Time to reconnect with my community The best time to get a census of all available Xalimos is right after Eid prayers because both the Xalimo in the Luuq and Xalimo in the Party will be there.

My bariis and hilib is not far away inshallah. Its all about finalizing from the 5 candidates and working down to one. So far, I have got friends and family to provide free stuff for the aroos: Free cooking food for the nikaax (Mom's friends), Free DJ (buddy), Free Somali Singer (buddy), Free Photographer (Cousin), Free Decoration Services (Friend), and discounted ballroom (Friend).


Koronto,

U know I get more numbers and flirts from women in Ramadan than in any other month. I used to collect their numbers and follow up with them postRamadan.
