Little things

I woke up today and realized that , for no particular reason, I just feel happy and optimistic. You know the little random things that leave us happy and smiling? Many of those little things occurred in summer, and although I usually hate summer, I would say it was this one was pretty good. Let me elaborate:

Meeting old friends by chance; Viva facebook. I found, school friends, IBM friends, London friends, ITWorx friends and even my primary school teacher!

Reading a good book. Well this summer I read several, "The city of dreaming books", "Witch of Portobello", "Taxi", re-read "Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy", and finally the amazing "The curious incident of a dog in the nighttime"

Finding something I thought I lost; well first, I found my smile again and my belief in fairytales. I found a CD of mp3s and photos that I thought I lost.

Getting introduced to someone interesting ; I met so many interesting people. Some I heard of before, some came by surprise, and some even proved my instincts wrong. It's always fun to meet more people especially ones with a good story to tell, that leave you looking forward to your next meeting.

Traveling or planning a trip; Portugal and Spain, Marina (twice!) and a plan for a winter trip to Italy isA( ya rab ya rab ya rab).

Hearing good news about a close friend; my sister's IGCSE results were brilliant, everyone is having babies , two of my close friends got married, one got engaged and someone very special got back on her feet after a rough 6 months.

Random Events; picking up my bank statement to realize I have more money than I thought, getting some nice feedback about my stories, many people actually agree with me about the Ku theory, I'm back to cooking , I'm back to the gym (finally), Ramadan is on the door...

Ending this post with lyrics for "Good day" by Jewel

I say to myself
Self, why are you awake again?
It's one a.m.
Standing with the fridge wide open, staring
Such a sight, florescent light

The stars are bright
Might make a wish, if I believed in that shit but
As it is, I might watch TV

Cause it's nice to see people more messed up than me
I say to myself, as I smile at the wall, just let myself fall

It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be alright, cause I'm alright with me

It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gotta be

I shiver, shut the door
Can't think standing here no more

I'm alone, my mind's racing, heart breaking
Can you be everything I need you to be?
Can you protect me like a daughter?

Can you love me like a father?

Can you drink me like water?

Say I'm like the desert, Just Way Hotter.
The point of it all
Is that if I should fall

Still you're name I'll call

It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be OK, cause I'm OK with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be

As long as we laugh out loud
Laugh like we're mad

Cause this crazy, mixed up beauty is all that we have
Because what's love but an itch we can't scratch,
a joke we can't catch
God, but still we laugh

Get back in bed, turn off the TV
You say "It'll be alright baby, just wait and see."

It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be okay
It's gonna be all right, just wait and see
Its gonna be all right, no matter what they say
Its gonna be a good day, just wait, just see
It's gonna be okay, cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be okay...

Uh oh, I'm awake again
It's one A.M.
Staring
Such a sight

Well, at least the stars are bright

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...

When Love Died

Yes, love died, about a year ago. No body knows exactly when, but it was sometimes early September or late August. Can you imagine something as big as love dying and no one noticing? Well, people did notice, in a way or another, but rather they couldn't possibly imagine that love , could in fact, die! For some, it changed into other feelings; feelings that could have usually be confused with love - lust, possessiveness , compassion, familiarity, kindness, fear of loneliness or even instinctive protectiveness. But there are a few people who are still lost at see with the void that death of love left behind. They struggle to find meaning. They... Ah well,.. Here are some stories from these people: Scene 4 Greenwich Wednesday, September 4th, 2014 It wasn't very rainy that day, unlike the rest of the week, so Tom thought that today has to be the day. He stopped at Marks and Spenser's on the way to class to pick up some flowers and concealed them cleverly. The day w...
