Suns, planets and moons and the Just as you are!

Mark Darcy told Bridget Jones 'No, I like you very much. Just as you are.'
That's when her friends asked: 'Just as you are? Not thinner? Not cleverer? Not with slightly bigger breasts and a slightly smaller nose?'


In my humble opinion, there are 3 types of people, when it comes to feeling one's life is full; suns, planets and moons.
Moon-people need planets as a center in their life to revolve around; when there no planets, they feel empty and worthless. They put their whole life on hold until they find a new planet to shower with love and attention.

Planet-people are slightly better, yes they need sun people to revolve around, yet have their own interests and are capable of having a life of their own. They show their love, respect and admiration to sun-people but also admit responsibility towards moons.

Sun-people not only don't need other people to feel complete but also have the capability to spread love, happiness and sunshine to those who care about them.

Until a year or so ago, I used to be a hopeless moon. And coincidentally, I happen to always choose the wrong planets. And those planets made sure I always stayed a moon by killing any personal aspirations or ambition I may have. But I took the major leap I should have done ages ago and broke free of the mental chains and became a planet person. I have my own life, goals, hopes and dreams that are independent of my sun, but still, I need my sun.


Speaking of 'Just as you are' as Mr. Darcy stated, in the past, Planets have asked me to loose weight, grow my hair long, find treatment to get it thicker and give it more volume, change my glasses, get a tan,... etc. Some even managed to ask my to deal with problems I never knew I had, only to make me realize how full of imperfections I am, which, eventually killed any remaining self confidence.


Yesterday it hit me, that those wrongfully chosen planets, affected my life even after I have ceased to be their moon, anyone's moon, even now that I'm a planet myself, but those words they spoke for whatever reason actually leave scars indefinitely.

So now, a sun, that would , not only, spread his sunshine on me, but also have to deal with all those scars left by those looser planets. Sun, should unfairly deal with my insecurities caused by other people and meanwhile, love me just as I am. What the hell, I am such an unfair person!

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 ...
