A revelation

I've been having a couple of bad days lately, which I'm sure you all noticed. But.. and yes, luckily there is a major but. But, today I had a revelation. I'll walk you down my trail of thoughts so try not to get confused:

1- I woke up today and stood on the scale and saw a pleasant drop in my weight. Good start for the day.

2-You know how a while a ago I boycotted all hairdressers, and thought that I was standing up for what I believed in and made a whole big deal about it --> I was wrong

3-Knowing that all the people who I have been attracted to/had a crush on/been in a relationship with, were/are idiots(that was a conclusion based on a conversation with B, where we went through my romantic history and realized that what all of them had in common was in fact, that they are all idiots for leaving a magnificent person like myself)

4- A few years back, it was a ritual to have my hair cut or colored after ever relationship/crush that went wrong. I stopped practicing this ritual , I can't remember why, but I'm sure I had a very good convincing reason.

5-I went the hairdresser today and had my hair coiffured, nothing too fancy though.

6- Given 1, 2 and 5, I went home in a good mood, deciding to stop looking like a looser who sits in her PJ and put on some cool clothes and a dangling earring and then looked at the mirror and realized , I actually look beautiful. Well , not Charlize Therone nor Angelina Jolie beautiful, but Yasmine El-Mehairy beautiful. And yes, I can still pull it off...I AM BEAUTIFUL. (Call me snobbish, delusional , whatever, it's y blog, you don't like it, leave!)

7- Given 3, If I only fall for loosers, and I fell for him, that makes him a looser by deduction. Even though it's not his fault and even though he doesn't know I exist...but still.. humor me.

8- Deducing from 6 and having 7 , I thought that hey, I really deserve better than this. I really shouldn't be sitting at home thinking about how his day went, I should be somewhere nice and fancy being pampered.

9- Having just watched Sweeny Todd the movie (which I just only realized was originally a musical), and having the I-miss-London itch. I kept thinking how I'd just die to watch Sweeny Todd , Cabaret , Chicago, or some musical on stage.

10- Knowing 8 and 9, I realized, that I want a none-looser who would actually take me to things like musicals , gourmet dinners at the Ritz-Carlton or the Four Seasons , long walks by rivers (by it the Nile, Thames, Siene) , visiting museums. And that this is not going to happen by me staying here at home thinking how the day of some unavailable uninterested guy went.

11- Having reached 10 and reflecting on 4, I reached the revelation; tum tum taaaaaaa.... I subconsciously made up my mind to get over this crush, by actually going to the hair dresser.. so yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ... bravo zeww!

Having reached this magnificent revelation, I decided to celebrate by sitting at home in my PJs, eating Roz bil Laban and watching four more episodes of Grey's Anatomy but you know what.. I wasn't thinking about how his day went.. I was thinking about mine...so it's not that pathetic anymore :)

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 ...
