Mission Accomplished: Ku Refill

So I've been low on Ku lately, and I've been all sad and miserable and sorry for myself. And that's a really annoying thing; to be sorry for yourself. And since it reached that stage, I had to break the cycle. I took a week off work, although I genuinely missed Mostafa. Apparently, since I'm usually a high Ku person, the slow pace of life in summer wasn't doing me any good. I kept waiting for something to happen, anything, but nothing did. It was depressing but I decided to take things into my own hands and make things happen.

During that week off, I went shopping, went to a movie "Dark Knight" (which is absolutely brilliant and a must see for any Batman fan), read a book "Stardust" which I blogged about here, went on a girl-only day use , and worked out several times. (I think it's true what they say how when one works out the negative energy flows outside their body!)

All that was good, but what happened in the week at work following my vacation was the real Ku refill. Sunday was fun, Roger came back from Belgium (I haven't seen him in 2 weeks) and I finally saw El Kebeer after one month. Sunday was mostly catching u, hearing about Roger's trip as well as getting back in the mood for work. Monday, was cool. I can't remember anything especially cool about it though. Tuesday ba2a was brilliant, I got donuts on the way to work to celebrate Jaz's birthday. After we blew candles in donuts instead of cakes for a change. Then somehow by pure coincidence, we had a singing time. Karim was playing guitar, and the rest of us started singing with him. It was amazing, really! I mean, I hardly ever sing in front of people for we all know how amazing my voice is.. but I did and it was so cool. When Jaz left, the rest of us did the final touches for the surprise party we were having for her the next day. And the day peacefully ended watching "Notting Hill" on TV. That is such a nice movie, one that I underrated I dont know why, but seeing it again, almost made me cry. Anyway, Wednesday, I didn't go to work, since I had an exam (and did well alhamdulilah), then met the guys and we all headed to Jaz's house. We gave her a unique birthday celebration, all of us wearing white galabeya and singing "Ramadan Gana" and "El-Leila el- Kebeera". Mira and I actually did a crazy performance on "Kiss the girl" from Disney's "Little Mermaid". That night was something else, everyone had fun although Mai and I had the flu and a sore throat. Thursday was spent taking antibiotic and other medicines in bed and at night I went to my little sister's graduation party (more on that in a different blog post) then spending some quality time with my parents.

Result of the week... Ku refilled, lost spirit found and zeww is back!

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 ...
