Soundrack of life : friends

To know where this post comes from, read the intro , the ex and the workout .

----Friends----
In the romantic comedy, the friends are the core of the girls life. She's on the phone with them while at work , goes out with them after work, they represent her alternative family; giving her advise, cheering her up while she's down, and go love her regardless of her awkwardness. In fact, they are equally as awkward as she is; the gay small time fashion designer by day Broadway dancer by night, the acupuncture therapist and her husband who writes crossword puzzles for a local newspaper and her best friend, the nail spa owner who is as hopeless in relationships as she is. The usually meet after a situation, on a round table, with drinks, hilariously making fun of their problems. And when she (leading girl) has the core crisis of the movie, they play the inevitable role of the selfless friends and gather all their savings to send her on the trip of her lifetime touring Italy to get over her problems/ or get her a one way ticket to where the leading man is so she can say sorry/ or even will all go on a short weekend to a ski resort for her birthday. The scene ends with leading man always crashing their hopes and dreams; goes over to Italy to bring her back home/ she boards the plane for that distant location as he drives to her house/ or even meets her on the way to ski resort so she leaves her friends and goes away with him. Although they're broke now (after spending their savings on a plan that never got accomplished), she dumps them on the single sight of leading man , they give her the "Oh, how cute!" look as she and leading man hold hands and walk down the road. They love leading man cause he makes their friend happy.
Soundtrack: Days Like This by Van Morrison

In the drama, friends are not an essential part of her life. It's mostly family, her sister/mum/ cousin is her best friend. There are the occasional coffee meetings with the girls from work/ or the long walks along the coast with a friend who lives outside town but the main friend is a family member. The friend will always call at exactly the right time when she feels desperate and in need of a friend, she'd typically wonder where leading girl has been all week and complain that she doesn't return her calls. They agree to meet at the mall where they talk about the problem at hand. The friend gives the practice advice that is not always feasible as it lacks the human-emotions element. However, the friend plays another important role in a different scene; when the leading man needs to know a piece of information to surprise the girl/ finds out a dark secret and needs verification...etc, it's always the friend that sorts out that matter. The girl gets angry that her best friend told a secret to leading man since she's more of the "if he believes that then he doesn't deserve me" type. But since all's well that ends well, she forgives the friend once it works out with leading man.
Soundtrack: I'll see it through by Texas

In real life, you have all sorts of friends; the ones that make you smile and those that make you cry, some that cheer you up and some that intend to hurt your feelings, some that you feel you have nothing left to talk about and some that you just can't get enough of. In real life, the same friend who has been selfless enough to make you happy blames you for it and then say they don't feel like explaining. In real life, even friendship is something that you have to fight for, it is not for granted and its not easy to maintain. In real life, you pray that your best friend's husband starts liking you. In real life , you pray that friends still like you when you start showing your depth; the confused, vulnerable and imperfect self. In real life, no matter how much your angry with a friend, or hurt by their actions you still remind yourself of all the nice things they have done for you. In real life, you thank God for every phone call or sms you get on those lonely nights. And in real life, you appreciate the friends you get,and love them, just the way they are :D
Soundtrack: The remake of Sayed Makawy's El Leila El Kebeera or Sayed Darweesh's Ya So7bageya sang by you and your friends

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...
