no comment

i received an email inviting me to participate in a poll and instructing me what to vote exactly for all questions... without getting into the details about the subject or the answers to select, my comment is that, a poll is to get opinion of people individually, not that a certain group sending mails to show that they are the best at the end... i checked the result and, as i expected, i found that the majority is for the answers selected on the mail, but i know also that this is a fake result.

when are we going to stop to act like that, thinking that the more votes we have, even if not true, we win and we are the best!!!


i went to buy tickets for the next football match of egypt. it was crowded but people were standing in lines, there were officers to make some order.

when will i see the lines every where (metro station, tickets office... )


i attended a concert of Wust El Balad at el Gomhoreya theatre. it was the 1st time for me to enter this theatre (i wanted to attend other concerts before but couldn't cos of time). i was impressed from the place, very beautiful and impressive. i didn't imagine it like that.

if u haven't been there, u should go once.

EGYPT vs COTE D'IVOIRE

it was my 1st ever football match to attend live, but not the 1st time to enter a football stadium.
i was impressed. overall it was a nice experience though i'm not a big fan of soccer. it's totally different to assist a live match than to watch on tv. u don't feel bored at all, u hear all kind of cheers...
i was in the 3rd class cos there were no tickets available for the 2nd, but i didn't feel that there was any difference. we went earlier but already at 4pm it was so crowded to enter. the electronic gate didn't work or was too slow so they opened the normal gate, but this was en exception.

some of things i liked:
when the national antheme of cote d'ivoire was played, some people were whisteling (which i didn't like at all) the guy beside me, stood up for respect.
at some moment, some guys made bad signs with their hands for the cote d'ivoire fans who were seating under us, but other guys told them to stop it.
hearing the cheers and making the wave (i've experienced the wave thing before).
holding my big pink hand and waving.
and of course.. winning :)

some of things i didn't like:
the big screens don't show the match during the play.
they start the match without a notice.. after few seconds, i just noticed that the players are playing.

a nice surprise

i was chatting with a friend and asked me if i would like to go to volunteer and i said yes i can, then he made me to join conversation with another friend and after a while, i discovered that we were in the same school, and that i was responsable of her team (jk) in an activity at school (jtc) about 6 years ago...
wow, time passes so quickly. i still remember her and the team, they were 10 girls in 1st preparatory, i was in 3rd secondary, 1st time for me to be jk in jtc and it was a difficult team...
so after all these years, finding out what she's doing in life (now in univ) and what she turned to be, makes me so happy.
it is difficult to see directly what we do to the youngers and what effect we make in their lives, but sure everyething we do directly or indirectly affect other lives ( even writing in a blog :) ).

ordinary day

i wake up early to go to work, i just can't believe how i managed to wake up at 6am though i slept around 2am (it's too late for me).
my mom thought it would be very cold and told me to wear heavy cloth.
my friend called me just before i leave home to tell me that she might be late a little so that the bus driver waits for her. she managed to arrived on time. we talked all the way to the work (in smart village). it reminded me the old school days when i used to take the bus but the trip was longer. spending time on the bus make u do a lot of things, sleeping if needing to sleep, read, talk, even play (when i was little not now) or sing (when going on a trip). even riding the car with friends gives time to know them more.
i arrived at work and it was nice to meet people again after one week off, also it was nice cos some were travelling from work and arrived.
one hour left and i'll be leaving which is good cos i don't have something else to do today.. that's why i'm posting here :)
sometimes just the small ordinary things can make the person feel good.

old letter

i decided to arrange a little in my room, to get rid of old things i don't need... and i found this old letter, i wrote it about 6 years ago... i don't remember why i wrote it, i just remember that i've received an email from a friend that was send to me and other people, and a discussion began. i don't remember what was on the email but here is what i send as a reply. i thought to share it with u so hear it is.

Hellooo everybody

the last few days i kept receiving emails from u so i decided to say my opinion though i don't know all of u.

I won't talk about the picture or faith or God but about something that some people miss it, thinking. The person should try to think to understand even if he feels that by this way he keeps asking himself questions he can't answer them. Hiding away in life in general is not a solution, el donia mosh mozakra we as7ab we shoghl we bas.. I'm not saying that we should leave everything and just think but at least trying to ask some questions and find answers for them even if we don't find those answers is something very important for growing and understanding. we are not just people that follow orders and rhythm of life.. what life would be without philosophers and inventors? people zaman didn't believe what they were saying and didn't want to hear them so they were putting them in jails to get rid of them so no one will think and not thinking is the easiest solution but not the best one.
I must confess that i don't do this a lot of times and sometimes my dad asks me something very confusing and i don't know how to answer so i say ma3rafsh or ana mosh fadya to think about that issue but i know this is not the right solution and at least i'm trying to do it.

The other thing i wanted to say is 7oreyet el kalam. i know el kalam mosh beyenfa3 ketir cos most of the time what is done is done and mahma 2olt mafish 7aga 7atetghayar bas 3ala el a2al el wa7ed bey7ess enoh 3amal 7aga we maw2efsh saket men gheir ma ya3mel ay 7aga.. ana garabt dah we 2abl keda fi mawkef we 7asset bel reda.

ana asfa law tawelt 3alekom ketir awy fi el kalam,
bye for now

painting

my parents decided to buy tools for painting and to start painting. i'm sure that they won't do it much, but who knows.
my grandmother paints beautiful paintings. i think she inspired my parents to take this step and try for fun.
i used to draw when i was a kid, i liked drawing everything. i think i began first to color with crayola. i still remember my dad teaching me to draw a table in 3 dimensions (i was 5 years old). At school, each day or week one of the girls has the chance to go and draw a big painting with water colors like painters. one day it was my turn and i was so happy and excited about it, and i drew the famous table. i had the idea to color it green, and also the background i made it green but light green (putting more water with the color so it becomes lighter) and it was really nice but.... the teacher was angry and yelled at me cos both background and table were green, though there was a difference between the 2 colors and the table was clear. i was so so sad, cos it wasn't fair.
anyway after this period of drawing, i began to draw cartoons character (copying) and i was good at it though there is no creation in that. then i remember in the boring classes, i used to draw anything on the books (usually arabic books), small writings, small things.. etc
and now, i don't think that i take much time to draw, i don't know why. i guess getting old makes the person forget a lot of things... but i know this is not an excuse..
i think after writing this, i'll look for my colors :)

staying alone in the house, not knowing how should i feel. happy cos it is christmas? sad cos of what's going in the world? excited to see my friends? doubtful of what's next? i feel like too much things going on that at the end, i end up with nothing. very weird.
since last time i posted here, many times i wanted to write, about different things, but each time, i just kept silence.
i wanted to write about the last year, from my point of view, but it is difficult to write in few words a whole year. i had bad and good moments but i think that i'll only remember the good moments. i can't say it was my best year ever, but i know that i had great time and i'm thankful for it. the most important is to pass from one phase to another. when studying at univ or even at school, i know what i'll be doing the next year, but after this phase, it is like being lost in the middle, with too many roads to walk in. i guess that's the major thing. also starting my career and working life, and also my personal life.
i thought to talk about my hopes and wishes for the new year but i found that it is not about wishing that peace prevails or that no more disasters and people dying, or even that everything is just perfect. what i really wish for is that i don't lose what i've gained so far, friendship, love, family. maybe it sounds a little bit selfish, but i think that we can never stop the bad things from happening in the world so this time i wish for little things that i can do my best to keep.
i know that i did a lot of mistakes in my life, i wish i learn from them and don't repeat those mistakes and most important, i learnt that being honest and true is the best way even if painful.
so, now what? i think that i'll hit the publish button and that's it :)
i wish to everybody merry christmas and happy feast.
