Quote of the Day

2012-01-24T09:29:00.003-01:00

"You can't control the things that happens to you, but you can control how you react to them"

More than cleverness we need kindness

2012-01-18T11:56:00.005-01:00

I'm sorry I don’t want to be an Emperor, that is not my business; I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone, I should like to help everyone if possible Jew, gentile, black man, white, we all want to help one another, human beings are like that.

We want to live by each other happiness, not by each other misery, We don’t want to hate and despise one another, In this world there's room for everyone, and the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone, the way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way, greed has poisoned men souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goosed up us into misery and blood shed.

We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in,
Machinery that gives abundance have left us in want,
Our knowledge had made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind,
We think too much and feel too little,
More than machinery we need humanity,
More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness,
Without these qualities life will be violent and all will be lost.

The airplane and the radio had brought us closer together, the very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all.
Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men women and little children, Victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me I say, do not despair, the misery that is now upon us, is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress, the hate of men who will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people will return to the people , and so long as men die, liberty will never parish.

Soldiers don’t give yourself to bruits, men who despise you and slave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do what to think and what to feel, who drill you, tight you, treat you like cattle, use you as canon fighter, don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts, you are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men, you have the love of humanity in your hearts, you don’t hate, only the unloved hate, the unloved and the unnatural.

Soldiers don’t fight for slavery, fight for liberty In the 17th chapter of …..written, the kingdom of God is within e, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men, in you, you the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness, you the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure, then in the name of democracy, let us choose our power, let us all unit, let us fight for a new world, a decent world, that will give man a chance to work, that will give you the future and all ages security.

By the promise of these things, bruits has raisin to power, but they lie, they do not fulfill their promise, they never will, dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people, now let us fight to fulfill the promise, let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance, let us fight for a world of reason, a world were science and progress will lead to all men's happiness, Soldiers in the name of democracy, let us all unit.

These are not my words and not my speech, though I wish they were, (I will change some words a little here and there) but keep it's amazing core and solid message as is, it's an inspiring speech that I have been listening to over and over again all morning, which I think is taken from a movie or something. I decided to share it in written so one can sense the power in each word, to remind us during this time of need of the things that matter in this world that we are living in for a while now, and to be able to evaluate and realize what is need to be changed within ourselves.

Lyrics in French:
et toi, aujourd'hui ai je encore le droit de croire en des choses qui n'existent pas?dis moi comment faire pour comprendre tout call ya a des moments ou je ne sais plus quoi penser

Lyrics translated to English:
and you, now I still have the right to believe in things that do not exist?
tell me how to understand all this
It is a times when I do not know what to think
not lost in oblivion, not to let time pass
but I see everything Author degrade me no respect
I say it like that, life is one long struggle
tell me how to understand all this
and you, is that one day the world will move? That's why I wanted to say that
tell me how to understand all this
tell me what is your hope in this life
kiffech n'dir tell me to understand all this (in arabic)
tell me kiffech n'dir bech tehfim kul chei (in arabic)
If you do not understand that life is a challenge
for us the days are alike, suffering us to survive together
tell me how to understand all this
believe me, it is love that will save us
love is the hope that in this life
believe me, it is love that will save us
believe me, it is love that will save us
Gouli kiffech n'dir bech tehfim kul chei (in arabic)

Quote of the Day

2012-01-12T06:58:00.002-01:00

A part of an artical i was reading about Gurbaksh Chahal

A big turnoff is … when people approach me and say, "I have a million-dollar idea and it's going to be amazing." They think just an idea will make them millions. That's not the way business really works. It's about executing the hell out of your idea — better than anyone else.

2011-11-29T22:32:00.005-01:00

Rock my bed and hush me to sleep

Let me dream of pink ribbons, white roses and butterflies in me

Make me believe, for once make it real, or should I forever preach it's not for me

So many faces, so many ways; it's all the same

I can not reveal...

I'm numbed , mute and deaf, I only can see, but like never before, i can not reveal

It will yield beyond miracles for me to believe, please make it real, this time for me

I love to rum, jump and climb.

i will climb every big tree there is, i love the rush i get, the excitement of being someplace that not a lot has been at, and i enjoy being on a higher place for a while, even if it's for a short time, further away from the ground, looking at things from a different perspective.

Today we went to climbat, it was fun and amazing...i would love to take this thing seriously...i need it.

The Prophet

Kahlil Gibran

28.8.2011 - 12.9.2011

And a reader said, Speak to us of this book.

And she answered, saying:

Though it had few pages within, and too many spaces of emptiness.

It was difficult to read, with one mind keep wondering into the deep.

For even it yields its words, and you shall not want if you but know how to fill your minds.

**************

Some of you might say "is it worth to indulge one self in"?

Ay, i become fascinated by such book, for fascination it to humble to describe.

**************

And people of blogsphereland, what have you in these blogs? And What is it you guard with fastened posts?

Have you peace, the quiet urge that reveals power?

Tell me, have you these in your blogs?

Or have you only comfort, and the lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the blog a guest, and ten becomes a host, and then a master?

A Wolf at the Table

A Memoir of My Father

12.3.2011 - 27.8.2011

Ill just go straight to the phrases i usually underline while reading, there's nothing much to be said

- Before, i was afraid that i might grow up to be like him. Now, i knew that i already was. Because what he had done to Ernie i knew i could do to him.

- Riding back from the grocery store, i realized my father was two men - one he presented to the outside world, and one, far darker, that was always there, behinde the face everybody else saw.

- I kept to myslef that when i ate vanilla frosting straight from the can, i could feed God standing right beside me like a real best friend, watching and smiling and wishing he had a mouth.

- If i wanted ti be free of my father, it wasn't up to some man in the sky. It was up to me.

- The smile simply unzipped his face to reveal the darkness behind it.

- But maybe, a father is really a luxury after all.

- I was not my father.

Something i didn't have done in 10 years

2011-08-19T01:51:00.005-01:00

not being able to sleep, nothing new just the regular, then i will notice the first singes of sunrise through a small crack of a door or a shutter, i would head to the balcony in an instant, sit in the cold breeze and crumple up on myself and just gaze at the walnut tree, and release my thoughts...the slightest scene will provoke my imagination...and i would gasp for the deepest breath that i haven't taking in for a long time....and simply enjoy my own space of blank.

Ernesto Che Guevara - The Bolivian Diary
The untold story if his final campaign
24.6.2010-27.12.2010

This diary is dated November 7th 1966 till October 7th 1976, exactly eleven months after establishing the guerillas in Bolivia.The book is a diary he wrote during this period "on a small notebook and with the tiny and nearly illegible handwriting of a doctor", as described by Fidel Castro.

As usual I highlight lines that caught my attention while reading, thought while reading this book I have highlighted a few lines but some are differently strong words worth to ponder about.

- “ And every people that liberates itself is a step in the battle for liberation of one’s own people” Fidel Castro

- Nov. 7th 1966: Today begins a new phase.

- Jan.12-13th 1967: Marco’s feelings were hurt during the meeting the other day. His complaint was that I have criticized him in front of the Bolivians. His argument had no basis; however, his emotional state deserves attention.

- May 13th 1967: A day of burps, farts, vomiting and diarrhea – a real concert from our organs.

- Jun. 14th 1967: I turned 39 today and im inevitably approaching the age when I need to consider my future as a guerrilla, but for now I am still “in one piece”.

-Aug. 7th 1967: Today marks exactly nine months since I arrived and we established the guerrilla force. Of the initial six, two are dead, one has disappeared, two are wonded; and I am suffering from asthma with no idea how to overcome it.

-Aug 8th 1967:This is one of those moments when great decisions have to be made, this type of struggle gives us the opportunity to become revolutionaries, the highest form of the human species.

-Sep 19th 1967: A sign of the times: I have run out of ink.

- Oct. 7th 1967: The 11-month anniversary of our establishment as a gurrilla.

Che Guevara was captured by US-trained and run Bolivian counterinsurgency troops on October 8th 1967. The following day he was murdered and his body hidden. Che Guevara remains were finally discovered 30 years later; in 1997 and returned to Cuba.

One's hope to reach, touch and get closer;
for its unscheduled emergence, with no doubt made me pause, gaze and wonder.
The delight flow, beautiful colors and a warm feeling,
how can it get any better?
A step closer, and a sweet murmur bursts into sensations…
I'm breathing, elevated, distracted by uncontainable smiles
I reach closer…….sweet silence and a beat.
A touch of harmony lingers still,
Though it now fades away….I shut my eyes to get even closer.

ooooo so much fun and much more to come :D

It's Hard

2010-12-17T14:00:00.000-01:00

I have discovered what might be that fact about Jordan, which i have never noticed before. In order to be happy in this country it's going to take you a lot of effort in juggling, because wherever you turn everyone is watching you, having a judgment, opinions, too many questions and interrogations from whoever and anyone!!!! And it’s depriving joy, and just ripping of one’s moments with a stare of nonsense curiosity or that’s the least I can state what it is.

Is it hard to smile in Jordan?
Yes it is.
Sawsan….I realize now when you tell me it’s hard.
Samira….I get it now when you hate it.
Mohammad….I’m aware now of why you where so envious.
Ibrahim and Rasha…I understand now why you have to be away.
Mona and Rula….I can relate to how different it is.
To myself….I lost the perception I had.
We are basically not a happy community, we are beyond doubt not satisfied with what we have, for that we have either learned to fool ourselves, or just detained in us a sickening feeling of resentment. I’m surprised by this realization that struck me today, and it’s taking a lot of effort to push it away and remain on the positive side of things.

I usually don’t notice peoples reaction and facial expressions and this is all im getting for the past few days…and it's ugly.

Finally Hiyari has a Website

2010-08-28T02:06:00.005-01:00

When i first decided to get a job in 2007 at Sahel Hiyari's, and being the selective person i was at that time towards the place i want to work at and the level i wanted to be engaged in, i searched tirelessly for any info on the web to lead me on how to apply for a vacancy at SHP.
Before then I accidently was encountered with the work of Sahel's by a 100 sqm project "Farah Kurdi Atelier" back in 2005 and I instantly fell with admiration towards his work and kept him in mind for years until I got the chance to apply, and at that time it was so hard to find any piece of information about him on the web, now after so many years finally Sahel Hiyari has a web site. That includes many of his mesmerizing works, like the Clinical Psychological Work Space which has the most brilliant outcome, though it had a very restrictive budget and Abu Samra Mosque that reveals the strict definition of contents in his projects to encompass the physical site and topography ,none the less the HS House; in which I had the opportunity to work on at its conceptual phase, again emphasizing on producing a dialogue between topography, architecture and creed creativity.

Working at HSP was the most satisfying experience I had went through, while being engaged with architectural elements on a discipline level of minimalism, in which ill always remember phrases like "less is more" and " an excellent plan creates a excellent architecture" and will always bear in mind the sense of excitement and involvement leading us employees to the status of "getting addicted to SH".
Finally said, exposing to this experience gave me the opening for a deeper examination and revealed my keen for hard interior. Thank you Sahel.

Anyway, one of the people I admire which I discovered recently and can’t stop helping searching for new things about him and his work Yousef Karsh, though he didn’t live during my favorite era that is the 1880’s through the 19th century, but he still had the chance to photograph many of the great and celebrated personalities of his generation.

Yousuf Karsh (1908-2002) is one of the masters of 20th century photography and accomplished portrait photographers of all time. His body of work includes portraits of statesmen, artists, musicians, authors, scientists, and men and women of accomplishment. His extraordinary and unique portfolio presents the viewer with an intimate and compassionate view of humanity.

Love in the Time of Cholera

Gabriel Marquez

Its a good book though i discovered that im more of a political reader, it dosen't take me as much time while reading fiction books.

Bellow are some lines that caughts my attention and are worth to share.

- "And when you do find one, observe with care" he said to the intern:" they almost always have crystal in their heart."

- the uproar of oil and motors from the bay whose exhaust fumes fluttered through the house on hot afternoons like an angel condemned to putrefaction.

- when the northern winds tore away roofs and spent the night circling like hungry wolves looking for a crack where they could slip in.

- He said that people who loved them to excess were capable of the worst cruelties toward human beings.

- Wisdom comes to us when it can no longer do any good.

- and realized that death was not only a permanent probability, as he had always believed, but an immediate reality.

- Crushed by grief, she prayed to God to send her death that night while she slept.

- dazed by the hallucination that it was he and not God who had been born that night.

- so close to her that he could detect the catches in her breathing and the floral scent that he would indentify with her for the rest of his life.

- Ariza did not feel either jealousy or rage - only great contempt for himself. He felt poor, ugly, inferior, and unworthy not only of her but of any other woman on the face of earth.

- He was going to turn it on, but she held his arm, saying:" I see better with my hands."

- "it is like a firstborn son: you spend your life working for him, sacrificing everything for him, and at the moment of truth he does just as he pleases."

- He would say: "You treat me as if I were just anybody." She would roar with the laughter of a free female and say: " Not at all: as if you were nobody."

- That me be the reason he does so many things," she said, "so that he will not have to think."

- God alone knows how much grief his heroic resolve cost him or how many bitter tears he had to shed behind the locked lavatory door in order to survive this private catastrophe. At five o'clock, instead of going to see her, he made a profound act of contrition before his confessor, and on the following Sunday he took communion, his heart broken but his soul at peace.

- Shocked by her sudden wrinkles, her faded lips, the ashes in her hair.

- She realized very soon that the desire to forget him was the strongest inducement for remembering him.

- "Tell me something, lionlady of my soul," asked Florentino Ariza.

- he did not realize that women can become adults in three days.

- "I don’t believe in God, but I am afraid of Him."

Arafat and the dream of Palestine,
An insider’s account Bassam Abu Sharif

It’s only a handful of books that I ever read but this one is one of the most interesting books of all.

As always I share lines that caught my attention:
1- Arafat never lost sight of his greater vision just because everything appeared to be falling apart all around him.

2- Qaddafi had implied that even if Arafat was able to secure a small patch of Palestinian land big enough to hold a single tiny tent, he should raise the flag of Palestine there.

3- It seemed impossible to us that any country would attack an area where the UN flag was flying. Yet that was exactly what isreal did.

4- I was the first Palestinian ever to enter the Buckingham Palace.

5- I will return to Jerusalem, as I am sure you would like to do, but the road to Jerusalem does not pass through Damascus, we must make our own way.

6- Our silence spoke volumes.

7- Trouble always follows you, Bassam. I replied "I always seek my rights, not problems".

8- The opening session of the summit was like the opening session of all Arab summits-elegant words were spoken in elegant speeches, meaning absolutely nothing and suggesting nothing practical at all.

9- “Someone who does not goes for what he needs, will remain forever in need".

10-The United State's policy regarding disputes between the Arabian Gulf countries was one of nonintervention.

11- " The U.S. decision is war. No initiative to stop the war will succeed. God help Iraq.”

12- Sharon and Lieberman's plan to force a great number of us living in the West Bank and Gaza strip to leave. Such a move would enable the isreali government to annex 52 percent of the West Bank and 57 percent of the Gaza Strip before bringing in Jewish immigrants from Latin America to colonize these confiscated lands.

13-I hope you keep in mind what u has said before the siege: Survival is Victory.

14- This is not the first time. Sharon has already tried to assassinate me 18 times, and he will no doubt continue to try. But i am not an easy target.

15- All was accepted as long as isreal claimed it had the right to defend itself; but we Palestinians never seemed to have the same right or it would be seen as terrorism.

And Finally…
16- "Our people are mighty. We will hold firm, establish our state, and raise our flag over the walls of Jerusalem.”

A firolicious moment

2009-11-08T02:30:00.000-01:00

Is just before sunrise when the world is empty, quiet and breezy. Laughter can by far be heard in every corner. So many things happen in that moment of relief, fun and amusement.
A moment that is interesting and beautiful, when only angels kiss, wine is drank and the moon is fed with the sweetest embrace of a nonbeliever.

nothing to do

2009-05-08T19:30:00.001-01:00

when i have nothing to do, i do alot of brain storming this is what i think of:

1. WHY dont we laugh when cutting onions instead of crying, why cry, why couldnt it be any other fume that makes us laugh.. that will be cool

2.where ever you go there is these warrning signs of the UVB+UVA sun ray and giving us directions how to apply sunblocks and how improtant it is to wear your sunglasses and they had recentlly come up with this pill that you take in the morning to be protected againts the rays, so WHY dont they invetnt this kind formula they just spray it in the Ozone layer and protect everything from those dangerouse rays...cool though
all thoughts are reserved wa 3alama musajlah and ay latish yo3tabar mula7ak min el-qanoon

3. the word هلأ (now) where it originates from and i figuered it out:
في هذة الساعة ---> هالساعة ---> هساع ---> هسه ---> هلأ
that could be such a correct analization

- Practising painting and sculpture was part of Aalto's architechtural design process.

Were as he mentoned once "The painting and the sculptures are a part of my method of working, which is why i unwillingly see them as as seperated from my architecture, as if they could express something beyound it...they are for me branches of the same tree whose trunk is architecture."

- As Aalto extends the rational methodology to include psychological factors, he also identifies nature and its processes as a valid model for nature standerization:

" Nature, biology, has rich and luxurious forms, with the same principles of cellular organisation, it can creat billions of comdinations, each of which represent a definitive highly developed form. Man's life belongs to the same category. The thibgs that surround him are hardly fetishes or allegories with mystucal eternal value: morethan anything else, they are cells and tissues, living beings like himself, building components that make up human life." *

An unveiled post

2008-03-19T08:38:00.002-01:00

Its weird, stupid and irrational when a girl decides to put on a hijab just because her boyfriend thats promising her to propose for marriage told her to wear the it first, if the hijjab is so important to him why did he love a non veiled girl in the first place, and if he did and loves the girl dose it make any difference if she wore it or not, and if it dose why dont he propose first and then she will commit to hijjab, so many girls wore it for their boyfriends sake hoping that they will propose some day and in many cases the boyfriend turns his back to his so called love and her sacrifices, some girls stays wearing it out of shame to take it off and some just removes it putting an end to the boyfriend and hijjab at the same time, ofcourse some remains wearing it out of satisfaction.
Its so weird when a girl dosent pray and isnt religious starts wearing the hijjab, you find her boyfriend, husband, parents, friends, teachers or even the whole world so proud of her, just because from the outside now she looks like how god wants her to be, isnt praying more important than wearing the hijjab, now how could people be happy for her, while they know that she wore it for a stupid reason and that reason is way far from wearing it for God.

4 years ago a friends of mine that i love so much, got engaged, and wasnt to religious or didnt know much about islam, because she wasnt raised in an arab country, and her fiance that dosne pray asked her to wear it, and she just did, now i respect how much she loves him, but how rational can that be when a non praying guy ask from a girl to wear the hijjab, ofcourse she didnt knew infront of who she is supposed to wear or why do we wear it, and i talked her out of it, cause mainly i was pissed of from her fiance for wanting her wearing it and seeing him as a hippocrates and because she didnt know alot about islam, i talked her out of it and convinced her that there is always a right time to wear it, when she learns more about it, who to cover from and when and what parts to be covered, when she is totally committed to god from the inside, committed by her actions and praying daily then she wears it, a person must only wear it for god, and after i guess 4 or 5 months that girl was totally committed to god and wore her hijjab proudly and so committed to it.

for me i never accepted from anyone to tell me how to commit to god, i hate people telling me pray, i pray when i want to, i hate it more when they say "عقبال ما تتحجبي" i dont pray and you know i dont pray why should i wear the hijjab, and it disgust the most me when a guy ask from a girl to wear the hijjab when he proposes to her.

Another thing about hijjab and reasons for wearing it, one reason i hate and i find it both cruel for the girl and islam is punishing a girl by wearing the hijjab when they catch her with a boyfriend, for god sake that will make things even worse for the girl and for the hijjab, she will never wear it in a proper way she'll always find ways to over come it by wearing tight glittery cloths and layers of makeup, by forcing her; what did she learn? nothing.
no one preached her about relations and how to be careful and when is the right time and right person, cause her parents are to close minded to talk about something like that, so for her the lesson that was learned is she had been judged and punished for how she looks not how she acts, therefor her actions will carry on and if not becomes worse, because actions dosent matter any more as long as she looks Innocent.

How do you bloggers manage to keep your blog updated everyday?

i am finding it so hard, especially after i started to work i have no friggin time for it or anything anymore, everything became like a chores or homework...even eating meals is no longer a pleasure its something i just have to do and i hate it i love to enjoy a hot well cooked and presented meal so much....but im not anymooooore

sense months i had many posts to blog about, which many are not done yet but still didnt find the time to blog them, the only time i have to blog is on weekends and i spend it catching up with the rest of the blogs out there and believe me i dont follow many blogs as some dose...now part of it is my very slow Internet connection fault but even though after sitting for like 11 hours a day for 5 days a week, really i dont want to be anywhere close to a computer .... ,

and right now i feel really bad well not that bad but ekh life is suck, actually just now i realise you cant juggle everything together, one thing that makes you happy and satisfied takes the pleasure from something else and if you want to practice everyhing at once you will be like a chiken running around with no head...im just tired right now and upset, and sick
people im sick i dont get sick ever but i have been this past week...

i really dont want to start on the shower surprises im getting lately but hopefully ill get to shower today eeerggghhh

friggin taxis

2008-02-06T09:34:00.000-01:00

i had the worset morning ever with taxis, i stood in the cold for 30 min waiting for a stupid taxi to pick me up..i swear four empty taxi refused to stop, the fifth was too blind to see that 3 people are standing by the circle, waving thier arms really hard at him to notice us...he was searching for people bas he was too stupid to notice us, finally a taxi stopped, i asked to take me to wadi-saqra, and he refused, "walak my ears are hard as card board and my nose is bloody red, a 5 min traffic wont harm you you donkey" ofcourse i said that to myslef, and i just left the taxi, i know i have the right not to leave, but really didnt want to grow any angrier cause if i did i would probably raped him...ok after that i stood for another 10 min. and i finally found and empty taxi, that saw me and stopped and is willing to go to wadi-saqra but as soon i was about to hop in...he open his mouth and said i didnt stop for you, i stopped for the other girl....and i pointed in a rude way to the girl to get in, she freak out i can have a very scary face when im angry :s...at this point i was angry and decided just to go with the flow just to see how far this can get and blog about the friggin taxi we have in jordan, i gave up the spot i was standing at and decided to walk all the way to work, and after another10 min. a taxi stopped and accepted to take me to wadi-saqra, half way in the taxi i rememebered that i only have a whole 5 JDs, i asked the cabi if he had any change for it..to make the story short i managed to change the 5 JDs, when i reached my destination, the taxi meter reading was 1.05 JD's, usually when you are charged for that amount, a JD and 5 piasters and you dont have the 5 piasters the driver charges only a JD, but i gave him 2 JDs cause i really wanted to see how far and rude taxi drivers can be, and i was right not only he took the secound JD, he gave me back 80 piasters, which mean he charged me 15 piasters extra, i really wantd to box him in the face actually box every taxi driver in the face....one day when i have my own vehicle and im planning to get a bulldozer, i will run over every and each single taxi that crosses my way.

what the hell

2008-01-24T08:16:00.000-01:00

why would a 15 year old girl bother too much about how her looks are and refuse to go out to dinner just because her bangs are slighty messed up....thats too much...its too narrow minded, and i wounder why would someone or anyone put so much pressure on thier sleves to look good...like everyday the hair, the bangs, the eye liner has to be up to standards...ok spend some time working on the looks bas not the whole day for god sake...and at the end not going out because your bangs are not pretty, why would she compare herslef to twenty something girls and feel that she dosent look as good as the rest...walik you are only 15 its ok if you look like a wreck and anyway soon you will grow up and you will take care of your looks every single day so try to extend more days and enjoy it not botthering yourslef with secoundry things.

2007-12-26T22:38:00.000-01:00

A whole years had passed in glimpse, a wonderful year in general, i remember how i had very high hopes and was so positive about it, and it sure was like that, it was a wonderful, crazy full of testosterone summer with my cousins, definitely a family year, the whole summer was spent with cousins and siblings from abroad and i was so happy that i had a chance to bond very well with my cousins that i haven't seen for ten years and shared wonderful times and great memories and nights that will not be forgotten.

Many of my best friends got engaged, married or fell in love (yay to all of them), and had lots of time partying for them, also i can call it the dancing year, i danced many crazy dances, thanks to Ala'a i had the most ever craziest dance. After that i got the chance to work at Sahel Al-Hiayri's (yay for me) its one big hell of a step, thanks to ahmad for always giving me wonderful ideas and making a difference in my life :).

I also met alot of colorful people through out the year, and made new friends besides getting the chance of meeting old friends i have'nt seen sense third grade, im glad for that.

though the past four months was kind of a roller coaster, with so many high and lows, where things i wanted it to fail but didn't and things i wanted to work out failed.

but its fine things could've been worse and things could've been better :)

8 is a lucky nomber for me, but i dont feel this way towards this year, my hopes are starting low i wish it will end up great, something opposite to this year where things started great and ended bad, for this new year ill wish for an opposite of 2007.

Happy new year everyone, happy 2008

i want to wish everybody a merry Christmas and a happy new year

Killing patients in cold blood

Authenticated Israeli Crime in Gaza: killing patients in cold blood

:Sam Armanda Reports from Gaza Strip, Dec, 20th 2007, PCAS (Source)

For the past 6 months Israeli occupation committed illegal and savage massacres against Palestinians. The committed actions (massacres) are flagrant and obvious violations of human rights law, four Geneva conventions and other international human laws and charters. Infants, old men and old women have been killed in cold blood. Yet Israel and its occupation forces say, “we are defending ourselves and own country!” Therefore, we ask a question! Are old men, old women and infants holding guns? Are they firing rockets? Are they…. Are they and are they! Wonders will not end bye the end of these words.
The more astonishing reality is the fact of those people in the following pictures. They are mostly patients with chronic diseases. They are being killed due to siege imposed on Gaza Strip. Israel is firing, shooting, and preventing them from having medicines and banning them from traveling abroad for medications.
Ironically, those patients are in serious health situations and they are spending their times in Intensive Care Unit, ICU. However, Israel is always rejecting their medical requests to leave for medications outside! The ready pretext made by Israel is, “they are source of danger on our state.”
Hence, we raise some questions with the help of patients’ pictures in Gazas’ hospitals. Are those powerless people able to bother Israel by blowing up themselves? Are they able to fire or short? Why they are banned from having medications abroad? Why Israelis reject letting medicines into Gaza Strip?
It’s remarkable that health sector has been rapidly and dramatically affected by the siege. According to the latest Humanitarian Situation Report of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) released on October 9th, 2007, fewer than five patients crossed into Israel/West Bank each day for medical treatment compared to an avera

ge of 40 patients per day in July. World Health Organization has indicated, though, that an average of 1000 patients used to leave Gaza for treatment each month prior to the mid-June closures. But now, all patients are banned to leave outside for urgent surgeries and medications!
The following pictures exclusively have been taken by Popular Committee Against Siege (PCAS). They are some of siege ramifications on health sector.

O.Kay, happy eid everyone :s

2007-12-20T09:10:00.000-01:00

i just dont love eid, i have my reason which are simply we dont do anything on eid, my eids ends at 10:00 am.
every year is the same thing, mom tries not to go crazy screaming at us to get up, and dress up before her dads( my lovely sedo, greatest man on the earth) arrives, and then oh shit the bell rings and its him, so we get up, greets him as if eno "man u came early and we where about to dress up", lol he stayes for like 5 min and leaves. then we go back to bed or just sits in the living room munching on the choclate and ma'amoul we got just encase someone decides to pass by.

Oh and morning breakfast, which is supposed to be either humus, topped with small meat chunks and nuts or sheep guts fried with onions " yummy yum yum"...but mom never serves it :s so while everyone get stuffed on eid and christmas from eating non stop, at our house we suffer from hunger.

and one stupid trip to Zarqa on the second or third day to visit our aunts. ekh

so that whats its all about. every year the same thing.

ok now the new eid tradition is sucking up to sedo weeks before the eid just to get more money out of him and it worked HAHAHA.

but i have to admit this year was the best thanks to the cookie party :)

ok im turing to such a complainer here on my blog ooops, more joyfull posts coming up soon, i guess ;)

today's observations:

2007-12-01T08:28:00.000-01:00

- 2 Rai kids :
nope these to kids aren't morroccans, these kids were wearing big gray coasts with "Al-Rai" printed in yellow on thier backs, when i saw the first kid at the King Abdullah Gardens stoplight struggling not to drop his newpapers, i wondered and assumed that maybe his dad got sick that day and he had to fill in his father's shoes, but 15 minutes later stopping at the first stop light after you enter Swefieh from the sixth circle a younger kid was wearing the same coat but was selling every newspaper that are seld in jordan, and he knew how to hold his papers in place. Now are the newpapers such "Al-rai", "Al-Dastour" and "Al-Ghad" are hiring kids to sell their papers. That would be so sad to be true. To have our national newspaper taking advatage of these little kids while in their lines and slogans they call for "childerns rights to have a safe and educated childhood"
I wonder.

- Winter's black cloud?!!
Driving from the sixth circle to gardens st. taking madeenah st. i was overwhelmed with this large gray cloud right infornt of me in horizon, but its not one of those winters clouds that attacks suddenly a suuny day, its a sight that i always seen while i look at Queen Rania's st. either from al-jam3a bridge or from Markah bridge, where from these bridges my observations of poluted clouds rising from one of the bussiest streets in jordan was from parallel points, but for the first time a see it from a perdendicullar point, all the way fromAl-Kilo brige, a high black cloud spread all along with with street.
scray? yes it was , and with 3 hospitals on that street, one is a main hospital in the middle east to treat cancer "King Hussain Cancer Center", the other is a govermental hospital which is visited daily by thousands of patients and citizen.
Freaky!!!!

- Girls:
Why whenever girls run to hug her other girlfriend, they have to tilt left to right, over and over, as if they dont tilt its a sign of not missing each other for not seeing each other for only the past 12 hours.
I hate it when they tilt me , im fine with the running, squeaking, screaming and almost tripping on thier face but why the hell they tilt.

How high should i aim?

2007-11-22T19:41:00.000-01:00

Why whenever i aim for something i really want i always fail, or lets say its so hard and loosk so far to be achieved

- am i aiming higher than what i can reach?............i dont want to beleive that
- am i not worth it?.......................well i deserve everything
- do i think alot of myself?...................nope, i never did
- is it like this with everyone?................im sure things come so easy for some people

well there's a chinese saying thats says " dont wish for things so hard, becaue you might end up with something you dont want"

i say bullshit to that..why dont i get what i want and then decide if it was worth it or not, i dont expect things to come easy, i actually dont like when things come easy, but i hate working so hard for something i might not get, if i know ill get it at the end ill work my ass off for it...bas if there is a might in it...ill also work but not hard.

my first crush

2007-11-13T22:40:00.000-01:00

supposed to be tagged by "qabbani"

well every other half a decade i had a crush on the other gender, one i still rememebr with a large smile, one that never saw light, one that im so shy to tell ( allah yikhzini 3ala haik crush) and one that have been literarly crushed :)

but the one crush that is worth to be told, is my first crush, it happend long time ago i cant remember exactly how old i was maybe in kindergarden or firstgrade at the most. his name is Chester, he was one year older than me and he was my neigbour, i remember always playing almost everywhere, we did everything together...haik little adventures, getting ourslevs in trouble....jummping on the bunk bed and bussing my head open because he decided to push me off...and just being curiouse about everything around us.

What i cant forget about Chester is that he was my first to kiss, and when i say kiss i mean french kiss and when i say french kiss i mean the true meaning/technique of a french kiss. the first time we kissed was in a small walkway in the back of the building, we ran away from someone and was just hiding there, i dont know why we decided to kiss maybe we where too curiouse.

anyway because of Chester i grew up having an attraction to dark/african guys, and dreaming of that perfect kiss.
:)

ok people i would love to know about there crush:
1- other than your crush to red shoes, Roba i would love to hear your story, maybe to a saudi :)
2- Kinzi, im sure you have this wonderfull stroy that is worth to tell and that people dont get to hear so often
3-and i guess maybe a juicy story from the arab observer

9/11 moving on ( amman bimings & cancer)

2007-11-10T11:12:00.000-01:00

2 long years have passed, too much of ugly things is still happening to our family and only just little beautiful hopes are blooming...do you move? yes you do almost like normal like if nothing had happen.

2 weeks before the wedding another immediate family member lost the battle against cancer this time it was my 32 years old cousin a sweet mother of 4, she was the 8th person to have cancer and the 7th too loose her life, i was devastated when i first new she had cancer cause she was so young and we were not expecting it or atleast not at this young age, and when she died i was wondering and worried who would be next, whose turn to get cancer feeling that this is the worst that it can get, loosing every other year a lovable family member (aunt, uncle and cousin)to cancer, not ever imaging that something much bigger is awaiting us and this time is a different kind of cancer that will harvest alot of live in seconds and had not effected only my family but every family in jordan.

Today looking and summerizing the whole 2 years i still dont know which is worst getting bombed or getting cancer, after the bombings 3 family members got cancer, the first was my mom but when i first knew that she had cancer i wished that she died in the bombings better than dieing to cancer, thats how much i hated cancer, how much i was fed up, thankfully now everything is great with her, the 3rd victim after the bomings & the 11th in totall is a second cousin of mine, he just started his battle only 3 weeks ago and hopefully will step out of it .
the 2nd one that i cant take my mind of him and his devastated family, is not a relative by blood but is related to me by marriage his wife is a second cousin also, she lost her little daughter Lina at the wedding bombings and just before the first year annuity he was diagnosed with brain cancer and he is struggling right now for his life.

Anyway as i said before (in my last year's post) i have not lost any immediate family members in the bombings but we were always in a fight with cancer... due to all this mess happening in the last 2 years and with other shit happening to me the only thing i lost was my faith in GOD.

its been now a week sense i started working at sahel alhiyari's office as a trainee, its been different than how i expected it to be, the first day i left in shock and freaking out cause they dont budge of the chairs, and they already are working for many hours, the office is really quite which is killing me at some times but in general in a weird way time flies really fast at that office but still too quit, i love how it is so simple and with not alot of things and stuff i love the fact its on the 12th floor and i love the little red bathroom.

Its becoming better and better for me everyday and still figuring things out how things are managed there, i started work at a point where they are finalzing this project presentation so its no interior or architectural designing for me and alot of graphic something (what im doing i cant dare to call it design) , well typically me i have to manage things and be kinda bossy well maybe i was too bossy, yesterday i was discussing about how everyone is doing a little of everything while we have to saparate our selvs into groups and each gruop get to work on one spesific thing, and that what happened :D and today i found a little note from a colegue adressed to me as G.M manal, ok a smiled at first, well alot. cause i love to be the boss. but really it happens naturally.

When little things turn big

2007-10-21T22:10:00.000-01:00

I tried to make this post formal but i cant its too personal. today at 7:00 pm my 2 wonderful friends that i love so much along with 2 of their german friends open their shop Blouzaat.
It was amazing, vibrant and alive.People where enjoying their time and where excitedly picking out T-shirts not knowing how to make a decision and choose one of the many creative designs and some were taking lots of pictures like they couldnt get enough of it, my best scene was when some was wandering around as if it was a little art gallery.
Every one got attached to the store and become instantly a part of blouzaat, everyone was satisfied happy and and enjoying the beat.
Blouzaat is not a regular store its an event where you can experience original art and much more, to me as an interior designer every spot in the store held its own individual vibe, i just fell in love instantly with the design when i first saw it.
I have not expected anything less from them; ahmad and mohammad, cause i know how passionate and determined they are towards their art, nether the less to mention falk and michael.

Blouzaat is a little store that turn out to be big.

im so hapy for you guys and i love you so so much.

i forgot to grab my camera with me so here is some pictures that i found so far on a fellow blogger's site.

visit Blouzaat soon you must not miss it.

story #1: i was at a salon and 2 girls walked in all covered up in hijab and the long shirt to cover up their figure, they started to beg to get their hair dont obviously they didnt have an appointment and after 15 min of annoying nagging they were accpected, so normally 2 hijabi's girl want to do there hair at a mixed salon, it will be dont in the hijabi section but nope the girls just stood there in the middle of the salon with bunch of men and took of their hijabs, and there hair done by men...

story #2: i was driving in my car, and ofcourse people become the rudest and with no morals when they are driving. The other day a stupid lady decided to park on the street and right next to the empty parking area, i horned at her so she could move cause there is a whole wide empty space, and after waving her hand to me to pass her and turning on her emergency lights; as if now with her emergency lights are on she has the right to park on the street, and me going crazy blowing my horn for 5 min, a passed the lady cause like i said people become the rudest while they are in their cars and i got the idea that she wont budge and i verbally insulted her.and i really dont understand like thers alot of poeple like that lady parking int he middle of the street or stoping on the wrong lane on a stop light and people just pass them and make a whole mess changing lanes but the dont horn or say or even kill the person that is resposible for that whole mess.

sorty #3: i no longer can blow my horn heheheh but not of blowing at the lady but because we were having a bachelorette zafeh all they way from jabal amman to el-rabeih, and this is a dream come true for my mom cause she hates how much i blow it at people, but i figured out that not having a horn in the car for tempered people is good cause it kinda control their anger. and my mom should not know that i rewind the horn

story #4: the other day on tv some channel were broadcasting live from macca and a shiekh was praying and reading from the Qoran and sobbing at the same time which made him mutter out the words in an unclear way, ok ok i know that that happens to some people when they read the Qoran or pray, but isnt the qoran supposed to be read properly and in a most beautiful way, so how about a shiekh that is reading in mecca on an important night like al-qadir's night and reading for thousands of prayers at macca and is viewed by millions from their houses have better control over his feeling and sobbing. to me this is how its supposed to be.
