Ironic

An old man turned 98, he won the lottery and died the next day!
Is the first line of Alanis Morissette song "Ironic", which I used to sing with my friend's in our teen years. I never knew that this would be the story of my life!

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face


and then my favorite bit is:
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
But that's been the usual in the last 5 years to the extent that I have immunity against being disappointed about it! 


But life never sees to be ironic, today was special: I went to a meeting supposed to meet a mid-thirties early-forties lady who I spoke to on the phone. But to my surprise I met this gorgeous guy instead.. gorgeous be7a2 rabena ya3ni! The most handsome guy I ever met. Pleasant surprise, right? I can't wait to go home and google him. I go home, google him, unmarried (check), career (has been checked already), education (check) but wait... age... uncheck.. 25 years old! I would like to mention I'm 31! I could have sworn he was 33-34. Yalla ma3lesh.. back to not being disappointed while admiring 30 something married men!

LOL...Yeah, we're supposed to be used to this much of disappointment already...My favorite part in that song is:" It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife."

And you've met your 25 years old spoon today :D

@Unknown... yep.. my 25 year old spoon! The visual is just hilarious :)

@Lasto... Murphy oh Murphy! I used to think I can conquer him you know! But then I just gave up :)

@Anonymous... Thank you! No, begad thank you, a well needed boost for my currently deflated ego. Life is just "ironic", what else can we say! God bless you.

if i said u are a normal girl, then i'm depreciating you. believe me, you are a rare jewel, and you deserve a rare man, which is not me for sure!, and i'm sure you'll find him someday. i feel jealous when i say that, but WALLAHY i wish you find him. i'll be so happy if you are happy :)

i'm here because of your eyes, and i'll stay around here for you, so please don't stop posting in this blog.

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
