Rush

I haven't been updating you guys with my personal news for a while now.
So much has been going on yet nothing much has happened... it's funny but weird...

After joining OpenCraft, life has been taking a faster pace, giving me a pleasant rush in my blood making life more interesting. I've been exploring alot of roads.. both physical roads and roads in my life...

At work, the good news is we won a really interesting proposal, which I have worked on (yeaaaaaaaay won my first proposal)...I'm sort of handeling several aspects of the project, some of which I have never done before and some I have. It's really challenging in an interesting way which makes me want to do my ultimate best.. I also have the best two coaches ever.. Rady and Karim; my managers(Thanks guys!). I'm learning so much alhamdulilah. So that's been keeping me busy for the last month almost! And here's another interesting blood rush!


As mum always called me "shawar3ageya" which has not direct translation so I will just leave it this way for those who understand it. I've been actually abusing this name these days. Now that work is around 20Km from home, I try to go around seeing different routes and combinations possible to go home in the shortest time. The other thing, is that recently I had several errands to run in new Cairo, so I've been exploring roads and getting lost in the weirdest places! I like the fact that however much I feel scared when I'm lost, when I actually reach my destination, an overall sense of satisfaction that I managed to find my way.Another blood rush!

I changed gyms, I joined a new ladies-only gym which turned out to be really good. I also got back on the healthy/limited portions diet so I'm back on the loosing weight track again... That's another rush!

Took my family out for mothers day.. we went to this amazing Lebanese restaurant in the JW Marriot. It was really cool. And speaking of restaurants, I finally tried steak@ charwoods and went to Abo el Sid! I've been wanting to do that for ages! The next on the list is Asiatique i guess but anyway.. I've been going out a lot recently .. another exciting rush!

And then, there's the other rush.. the one that actually matters.. the one you feel when you get an overall satisfaction with your life especially when you've been down for so long... A particular rush that one likes to feel and hope to keep on feeling for a long time... it might be because of all the changes, or any other reason.. or.. it might just "be". I'd stick with the "be" and hope it lasts!

الفرق بين الطبخ على نار هادئة والطبخ السريع

 لاحظت إن بقى لى فترة كل تدويناتي إما تتحدث عن الحب (أو عدمه) والمشاعر (أو عدمها) أو تدوينات حزينة نكدية بتبني جو من  الكآبة العامة اللي محدش لا طايقها ولا ناقصها اصلا. فقررت بيني وبين نفسي أني مش هكتب حتى يكون عندي شئ خفيف وظريف أكتب عنه. المشكلة للأسف اللي وجهتني هي أن كل اللي بيدور في بالي دلوقتي إما الشغل ومشاكله اللي مبتخلصش أو حوار المشاعر اللي قلت إني مش هتكلم فيه، فقررت أسكت. بس النهارده وأنا في العربية مراوحة البيت من الشغل جائت لي فكرة قلت رغم إنها بتكسر شوية القرار اللي فوق إلا إنها تمشي مع فكرة خفيفة فممكن نعملها إستثناء فكرت في قد إيه "الإعجاب أو الإنبهار" بشخص ده عامل زي طرق الطبيخ، فيها السريع واللي على نار هادئة والللي الواحد يقعد يجهز فيه ويستنى عليه في الفرن إنه يستوي، مبيستويش. طبعا أنا محبب عليا أقول "الحب عامل زي الطبيخ"، بس من ناحية، أنا لسة من كام يوم بقول إن الإعجاب محتاج كثير علشان يبقى حب أصلا، ومن ناحية تانية حسيت إن الجملة مستهلكة جدا من قبل النكت القالشة.    أنا كنت طول عمري بميل للطبيخ السريع، زي طريقة "ستير فراي"، في...

Reflections on tolerance , intelligence and beauty

Tolerance I find it really interesting how many people who claim themselves open-minded , sophisticated , cultured and well-read would use the word "tolerance" to justify socially unacceptable behavior or ideologies. They would claim themselves tolerant to different religious/spiritual views, to taboo topics, eccentric friends ,...etc and even preach the more reserved about tolerating and accepting others. Yet, these very "tolerant" people would not even remotely accept a conservative or religious person. A girl I know , to prove her so-called tolerance would always preach "Guys, you should always be more tolerant. Take things easier. The world is very diverse and we should learn to accept each other. For one, I learned to cope with things; I even lived with a gay flat-mate when I lived in the US and I have friends of all faiths." This same girl, when talking to me about my own brother would still say "I can't stand how those so called religious...

Privacy Issues

Last night, I was having dinner with the OC gang when Mardini decided to pop the question that everyone seems to be talking about these days, "who would you vote for in the presidential elections?". When it was my turn to answer I said "I don't share my political opinions" which apparently threw some  off balance. Meyo and Zei understood perfectly well and gave me acknowledging looks that they respect my "no share" zone. Toulan on the other hand, at first, gave me the raised eyebrow for a minute then said "Ya zeww, ya3ni you share everything but don't share your political opinions". Naturally, he was referring to this blog. The thing is, everyone has some issues they consider private, yes, even me! Maybe to you readers, it's  natural to assume one's romantic life is private or that one's thoughts and feelings are private. For me honestly, these are not an issue. I mean, privacy, like everything else, is relative! To me, 3 ...
