Soundrack of life : going to work

Previously on soundtrack of life: intro, the ex, the workout , and friends.

--- Going to work ---

In the romantic comedy, the scene starts by her waking up , with a smile on her face, like she just had the most wonderful dream, then looks at the alarm clock and starts cursing and swearing that she woke up late for the millionth time. In a flash we see her all dressed , and ready to walk out the door. She walks to the tube station(call it subway, metro, underground ... whatever) where she meets one of her quirky friends and they take the tube . They talk while riding together till each of them reaches her stop. Leading girl then takes the bus for a couple of stops before reaching her office; it's the same bus everyday As soon as she steps out, she lights her cigarette and the driver (who happens to be the same everyday by pure coincidence) , always waves bye to her saying that she ought to quit smoking. She buys herself a cup of coffee from the cafe across the street from her office everyday, where the waitress knows her "regular" by heart. She crosses the street and greets the security guard while stepping in the building while she keeps staring at leading man cross the street. She slows her steps and walks towards the elevator while hoping leading man is fast enough to go up in the same elevator. Next scene, she's on her desk, looking at the clock.
Soundtrack: 9 to 5 Dolly Patron

In the drama movie, it's 6:00 a.m.; she wakes up right before her alarm clock rings, turns it off and gets out of bed. She goes to the kitchen and makes herself a cup of coffee while staring at the skyline from her high rise apartment. The sun is reflecting on the water of the river the runs outside and it looks like a good day. She takes her shower in a relaxed mood, dresses up and checks herself a million times in the mirror to make sure she looks right for the board meeting. She goes down the elevator and reaches her car in the underground parking only to realize she forgot her car key. She goes up again and while taking the elevator down again, leading man is in the elevator, her heart sinks. She tries to gather the courage to talk to him but all she could say is 'Indeed' when he comments that it seems to be a lovely morning. She drives to work thinking of all the things she could have said to leading man and wonders all the what ifs possible. She reaches her office, parks and goes up, greeted with a smile from everyone she sees. The scene ends with her in her office about to start the long work day.
Soundtrack: Everything by Jehro

In real life, she has no pattern as to waking up early or late, however she always takes half an hour from the moment she wakes up to the moment she leaves the house. She almost always goes down the stairs to find that the porter is just about to start cleaning her car and blames her from coming down early today. She is almost certain he does that on purpose but isn't bothered to do anything about it. She gets in the car and starts the daily dilemma of "bridge or tunnel" and later in the drive, she regrets whichever decision she took. Driving to work is the time for thinking, contemplating , planning and coming up with revelations. Occasionally, her "me" car time is interrupted by a phone call or two from her friends which she happily welcomes. Reaching work , comes the second major issue ; finding parking. But once that is sorted out by the kind 3am Sayed, she goes up to her office and starts her day. The next scene is her making tea in the kitchen , then sitting on her desk and starting her MacBook.
Soundtrack: World spins madly on by The Weepies

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...
