A piece of my mind

Please take me dancing tonight ... I've been all on my own You promised one day we could ... it's what you said on the phone I'm just a prisoner of love ... always hid from the light Please take me dancing Please take me dancing tonight Stolen Car, Sting

Right now, I feel like an old joke. A joke that was funny 5 years ago but is now past it's expiry date. And they say, ask the best friend, he knows best. The best friend said give yourself time. What does an old joke have plenty of? Time! Lots of it! When old jokes fail to make you smile, they have nothing else to offer but the pleasure of their company.

Dear everyone... I'm taking some time off the blog, facebook and to an extent, my phone.. only for emergencies. I hope you understand! a toute a l'heure 

I've been on a very emotional ride, triggered by accident but grew tremendously over the past few days. I've been really stressed for the last year or so, but especially those last few days, the stress was becoming to o hard to handle, and then "that thing" happened and all hell broke loose. Like it was the straw that broke the camel's back. I just can't contain those feelings and emotions anymore. For the 4th time in 5 days, I sit there, crying in my car by the side of the road, how pathetic, right?! I'm aware that I am "banaked 3ala nafsi", watching videos or photos that I know will stress me even more, but it's an important sanity check to face yourself in the mirror and remember how small you are. I'm aware that I'm projecting my stress on all the wrong things but I just can't "Compose myself" in poise and courtesy anymore. I'm also aware that I probably messed up a great opportunity, but I myself am confused. ...

Warning: Ranting post ahead! We've established a long time ago that I don't obviously have the skills or capabilities to be in a relationship, so I thought, what the hell, I'll surround myself with friends... who needs a relationship anyway, right?! Wrong... or maybe right.. I don't know anymore. It never fails to amaze me how friends can drop you off their life and just move on 3adi keda. I might be high maintenance,  but I was always under the impression that you get back what you give. I would like to think that I am a good friend; I call to make sure your doing good but not too much that I suffocate you, I give you your space when you need it, I respect your privacy even if I'm itching with curiosity, I'm always there for you when/if you need me, I try to be a funny and entertaining person telling fun stories (who needs a depressing friend anyway). But it seems something I do is wrong. It really hurts when you realize that someone you considered ...

Venice, Italy Venice... need I say more? Whether with friends, family or a special someone, I'd almost pay an arm to go :) Canals , Gondola, Fine Arts ,  Carnivals and where one of my favorite movies take place. I was in love with Venice even before I saw "The Tourist" and seeing Johnny and Angelina in Venice made it even worse. And although I was never that much of a shoes person... her Ferregamo's were amazing! Here's to Venice!

Did I ever tell you how much I love musicals? They just make me happy. Loved them since I was a kid watching musical movies: "Sound of Music", "Mary Popins" and "My Fair Lady" with my cousins at our weekly gathering in my grandma's house. Then growing up there were "Grease" and "Saturday Night Fever". I think there was a drop somewhere in the middle which got revived with the newer versions of "Moulin Rouge" then "Chicago"...I love Chicago... loved it even more when I saw it live in London with Jaz and Mai.... no seriously, talk about Razzle Dazzle begad! Isn't life just a big show after all? Then comes my absolute favorite.. yes.. a happy-go-lucky... gotta feel good about life, the universe and everything... the one, the only... Mamma Mia! That was a whole new level of experience when we watched it live. We literally were singing and dancing in the streets of cold and gloomy London just after midnight. Peo...
