You're so vain, you probably think this blogpost's about you

You're so vain, you probably think this "blogpost" is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this "blogpost" is about you
Don't you? don't you?


You casually walk into a room, and expect everyone's world to revolve around you. You sweep the rest of us off our feet with your smooth and cool smile, and then before we notice, we're tangled into your web. I'm not really sure how you do that, or if you do that on purpose in the first place, but I noticed the trend.It usually start by you being really modest, easy going and smooth, but you're probably smarter and better looking than most, so it grants you immediate access to our hearts. I give it to you; you are fun, interesting, exciting, smooth, cool and playful. And somehow, by being all that, we all show off trying to be on your good side. And while we, the random people around you, put the effort trying to please you, you collect all our efforts to get an ego boost. I mean some people like to be the center of attention, but you! You take it to the extreme; somehow, you manage to turn every situation to be about you; even the most touching to me. It's just too much you!

But you know what, I have you all figured out. I know the puppy face that you put on when you want some attention, and the cute smile you abuse when you're fishing for a compliment. I know exactly what to say to absorb your storm of anger and I know how to give you enough space to come asking for my company again. I know all that, but I still absolutely adore you. I guess I'm still trapped in your web after all.

You're so vain, you probably think this "blogpost" is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this "blogpost" is about you
Don't you? don't you?


But you know what,at least this blog post is not about you, it's about me!

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 ...
