About

Who am I?

My name is Mona, and I go by the internet name Rebellious Arab Girl. I have been living in Canada for over thirteen years. I call my self the world traveler with a unique history. I am originally Palestinian from a town near Acre (Akka) in the northern part of Palestine. However, my parents were born in Lebanon due to the 1948 war in Palestine. I was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on December 23, 1980, where my parents worked for many years. I have lived in Saudi Arabia till I was eleven years old, and then moved to the deep south of USA where I lived for a period of five years. In 1997, my family and I immigrated to London, Ontario Canada, and I call it my second home.
.
I have great interest in technology and the internet world. I have a Bachelor of Science, Major in Computer Science, from the University of Western Ontario. I am a computer programmer and graphics designer, and I worked as one for six and a half years. I took a year vacation from the working world, and as of September 2009, I got a job again. This time strictly as a Computer Programmer creating web applications. Time to venture back into work ranting and having fun!

Why I made this site?

I made this blog back in 2005 on my 25th birthday. I made it as a safe haven for my personal thoughts and an open diary for the world to read. I write about various issues and thoughts in my daily life. I question many aspects of my life and the culture that I live in. In the end, I am who I am. I am an Arab girl who loves to write and express herself for the world to read.

How I made this site?

I use Wordpress for a backend, and I created the template from scratch. Also, I used Photoshop for headers and other graphics. I am a CSS, HTML and PHP expert. If you need any help, contact me and I will try to find quick solutions to your problems.
