I'm back

It's been four months since my last blog.. quite sometime I know.. but I'm back.... or at least, trying to be back.

Umm, where do I begin?! Probably by listing a few irrelevant bloggable thoughts and thoughtlings:
  • Shrek the third... amazing.. especially the dronkeys , seriously, one of the cutest things ever. I still wonder how this movie is targetting kids, it's so adult-humor and it was so fast.. faster than you can catch all the lines in just one run. I plan to see it again soon, or better yet..buy the DVD.
  • Pirates of the Caribbean; end of the world... my favorite movie of 2007 so far. It's so smart and witty and as my dear friend calls it "film 7ashash". I mean seriously, you gotta be on weed on something to write a plot like that. Anyway, brilliant.. I highly recommend.
  • Babel... interesting movie.. leaves an impact and touches you deep down, but fades after a while... The soundtrack was amazing though. I used part of it as my ringtone.
  • Music and Lyrics... nice movie with an implied happily ever after ending... recommended but can be watched on the couch in front of the TV.
  • 300... not as good as I hoped but still, one of a kind.
  • Went to so many restaurants on my list those last 4 months: L'Asiatique, Abo elSid, JW Marriot Steak House , Charwoods, Fusion, Nile Bukhara, Cantina Laredo...etc.
  • I discovered I love Japanese Teppanyaki... tried it once at Sheraton Heliopolise and once at Fusion.
  • Costa Coffee have this amazing Lemon Frescato....my new summer indulgence
  • Went to Marina last weekend, had fun, but not my kind of scene... It seems I'm becoming more and more anti-social or something but the whole "where's the trendy crowd hanging out today?" is so not my style
  • La Femme.. a women only beach... the Mohajaba's dream come true... again was nice.. but so not my style. It was nice for a change but I'm not sure I'll do it again.
  • Met my friend Ahmed Nabil who's on vaccation from Australia where he's doing his Masters degree. Made my weekend!
  • Viva la Facebook... Old friends keep finding me. The highlight of which is Ahmed el Bakry, my friend since grade school , who I lost touch with we when we entered university. It's funny how you can talk to someone you haven't heard of for 9 years and can maintain a normal conversation as if you're resuming a conversation you had last night.
  • I went out on a micro gathering with the guys from school.. that was so nice.. we stayed out from 2 p.m till 7 p.m... I didn't want to leave.
  • Batouty got engaged...Tamer seems like a nice dude and he knows how to make her smile.. God bless them both. It was a nice evening.. I bumped into her old friends who I havent seen in a very long time.. I thought they changed.. they thought I changed , we all exchanged compliments and then smiled and left.
  • That's it for now....will update later.

P.S I wont be adding pictures to the blog anymore.. check facebook...

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 ...
