Pics of a nice sit in Tahrir square





I just came from Tahrir and saw an amazing picture

the lights in the square were closed…that is why the pictures are very dark…and I am sad that I did not meet Alaamanal ... I am a big fan

There are citizens who say that the condition in this country will always be the same…and it will never ever change…

and there are other citizens who say that the condition in this country can be changed if they do something…so they planed for the sit in Tahrir square and it was nice that some people took part in an event like that…at least they have done something ...hmmm...haaa...fffffmmm...aha..but the condition did not change

These words are for you


You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.
Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
(from the song goodbye my lover by james blunt )

A mind like stone


I tried to explain to him that this is dangerous and could lead to accidents …and innocent people could be victims and die … well it started when I took the microbus to go home…and I sat beside the driver…he looked religious because of the big long beard and the way he was dressed…and I was looking from the window until a car drove across the street…and the driver did not see it…so I said “ be careful “ and the driver stopped suddenly to avoid the crash…all the passengers were very anxious …I was relieved…but then I saw what he was doing …he was driving with bare feet ( with no shoes )…holding the Quran with one hand and reading from it while he was driving…I told him that this is not right what he was doing…he asked me if I read the Quran…I told him yes…then he told me that he does not have time to read but only while he is driving the microbus...I told him that in this way he can not concentrate on driving…it is the same like talking with the mobile phone...and that he can make an accident…but he said that god knows our destiny and if something is going to happen it will happen and we can not avoid it…even if I drove with full concentration…but I said that we should do our best and the right thing first and then accept the end result …anyhow he did not listen to me and did what he wanted to do …and I came home safely

KFC needs your support



I can not believe myself…I ate chicken nuggets today…I am sorry …but I really like chicken and can not stand that anymore…I had to eat chicken…it was very delicious …as if I have not eaten chicken for 100 days or so…but thank god I made that step

Hany Academy


He is one of the best of them…hany …the last Egyptian in star academy…he is a hard worker…has an acceptable voice…enlightened and talented…behaves decently with the other girls in the academy with no hugs and kisses ( and we know why )…has a very nice personality and a good heart…but I fear that he will go out of the academy…why…because we do not have time for him…we have our tough life…and to call for him costs money and we barely have money…and what will I get if he won…nothing…he will maybe be famous …make an album or something …maybe be a movie star …and that’s it…but in the first star academy we have done everything to make this loser named Mohamed Atteya to win the competition…and what a nice model
for the Egyptian community he became…

I hate all of you


I can not stand that any more…it was like I was waiting for something like that to happen …to explode…yes…I exploded…because everything has a limit…and this was over the limit…and I can not accept that …
I wanted to buy the newspaper Sot El Oma ( I do not have a TV at home so I always need something to read while I am eating ) but the store in the corner of the street I live in was closed…so I went to the end of the street (500 meter) where I knew another store…but it was also closed…so I asked someone and he told me to go another 500 meter and I will find a bookstore…so I went there but he did not have this newspaper…and he told me to go another 500 meter and I sure will find someone …so I thought I will better walk this distance cause I already walked to that point so I do not need now to take a taxi …plus I will have to pay him 2 pounds and the newspaper costs 2 pounds so that will be 4 pounds…and when I finally arrived there ( it was in Tahrir street beside the metro station…by the way …on my way I saw a lot of young hungry and very dirty children sleeping on the street...and I will discuss this problem another time ) I found my newspaper…I gave him 5 pounds...the man told me ( in a rude way ) that he has no change ( although he sells newspapers and books all day long and actually has to have a lot of money ) …I went to a supermarket and returned back to the man and gave him 2 pounds…he told me “ no …2.5 pounds…”
I did not answer him cause I thought he was mistaken and I took the newspaper to show him that it is written on the newspaper that it costs 2 pounds but he suddenly took the newspaper from my hands and put it back on the shelves…first I did not understand what he did and there was a woman working with him that told me …” he wants to take a tip…give him a tip man”…I was shocked…I told him “ what…what happened to you people…do you really want to take 0.5 pounds more from an ordinary Egyptian teenager who is not a foreigner or a man driving a Mercedes car…the money is not the thing I am talking about…I can give you 3 pounds if you want…but the behavior what upsets me…the way of thinking…if you took from me…and from another person and from everyone who comes to buy something from you today 0.5 pounds extra …then there will be a catastrophe…this is greed…this is dammed unfair…”so I gave him 3 pounds but he told me then “ well…so you will not take the newspaper…I will not give it to you…”
Stop…at this moment my blood pressure increased immediately to the limit where I shouted to him so loudly that all the people on the street came to see the show…” what the hell do you think you are…are you insane…are you crazy man…I hate you …I hate you …” and then I looked to the people around me…" I hate all of you…I hate all of you …I hate all of you….I hate all of you" …and was going to hit the man but the woman stopped me from doing that and gave me the newspaper and took the 3 pounds from my hand…other people took me away from this seller while I was shouting “ I hate all of you…I hate all of you”…well maybe they thought I was crazy…well…honestly it was the first time for me to do something like that in public…but this incidence was an alarm…a critical sign of deterioration in this country…it is like there is no other thing left for us but eating each other like animals…and at the end…the newspaper seller won…and I was the loser ...and what I did was wrong

Taxi ( part 1 )


I hate taxi drivers…I am sorry but I have to confess that I hate them from the soul of my heart…every time I take a taxi to go somewhere I arrive to my destination with deep depression…and anger of course…and what happened today is normal for me because I face it every time I take a taxi…well we all know that if you want to know what is going on in this country…the news…the prices…the disasters and the rumors…you pick a taxi and talk to the driver on the way …ask him what you want ... but be careful…he will ask you also…he will know you from head to toe…but this is not the problem…the big problem is the final conversation with him…yes…the price…but let us first talk about the horrible journey with a taxi driver…

you show to him with your right hand to stop…well he will not stop…he will slow down…try to hear the name of your destination…and if he does not like it…he will continue moving…and here is the act that kills me…he does not say “ no” or“ sorry” but rather turn his head to the street in front of him …and that’s it…oh…and if you have luck…and there was traffic jam…well…good luck…you will never ever arrive to your destination....

ok…lets continue with my great events with taxi drivers…for instance that man today…he stopped…I opened the back door…he looked at me with an angry face and said…”come on my son…sit beside me…why do you sit behind”…I told him that I do not want to put the car belt…and that the cold air coming from the opened window annoys me”…he told me “ you teen-boy …if you are not coming to sit in front…you better go out of my taxi…I am not your driver ”…

I picked another one…he was in the middle thirties…told me the whole story of his life…his troubles with his wife…his children…his health problems and of course that he does not have enough money…ok …I knew…he will take a lot of money for that ride…after negotiation I gave him 2 pounds more than I actually wanted to give…

Sometimes I feel like a bottle ice tea standing on the roof in a supermarket…and all the taxi drivers pass in front of me …look to me…hear my voice …and if I was not their type…then they will not take me…but if they found a bottle or 3 to 5 bottles Champaign …I mean foreigners …they will take them immediately

on the way back to home…the taxi driver was listening to the worst singer I ever heard…Shabula is much better…and he had the tune to the maximum…I told him politely to turn the volume a little bit down…”what…you do not like him…blab blab bla”…he mad a move with his hand to give me the impression that the volume was lower now…but it was not…ok…and the cigarette in his hand…I wanted to tell him to throw it away…but better not to say…he will argue with me again…I already have headache…because of…bla bla bla…do I have to name it all…ok…lets go…the taxi was very dirty…and the smell is not better than the public bus and microbus…and he chose the way he wanted to go and did not want to hear any advise from me…and if I wanted to go to an inner street…he refused…and then the money thing…my advise...if you have an mp3 player...take it with you

But I am sure there are good taxi drivers out there…but where are they…anyone wants to take me for a ride

By the way…there were 2 fights with this taxi driver in the picture…first because of the money I gave him…second because I took a picture of him

Believing in ones self


Have you ever listened to a song and had the feeling that someone wrote it specially for you…that is what happened to me when I read the lyrics of the song"I believe in you" from the album Ancora…and ironically I liked this song so much before I knew its message…and because I listen to it every day I decided to know its words…and it was as if my soul is talking to me…summarizing the whole truth of my life in a song and giving me the motivation to accept life and to look for the bright side of it…people who know me will immediately say that it is a clear mirror of my life

Lonely
The path you have chosen
A restless road
No turning back
One day you
Will find your light again
Don't you know
Don't let go
Be strong
Follow you heart
Let your love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe, I believe, I believe
In you
Follow your dreams
Be yourself, an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you cannot do
I believe, I believe, I believe
In you.

And the Oscar 2006 goes to...:-(

The Oscar night was fabulous…yesterday it was a long day for me…I watched it from 1 am to 6:30 am (due to time zone difference)…and it was worth to watch as the surprise of the Oscar show was at its end…ok…and I went late to college this morning.
Lets talk first about the stars…in my opinion the most beautiful dress was for the actress Rachel Weisz…

although she was pregnant in her 7th month but she looked so beautiful in her black simple dress and with light make up…Salma Hayek looked sexy in her blue dress…and Keira Knightley could have had the most beautiful dress of the night…unfortunately her jewelry looked artificial and cheap…and the worst dress was of Naomi Watts.











Sexy Frida










hmmm...not bad













What the hell is this Naomi...was you drunk yesterday...my grandmother have better things...she can give you one if you want...pssst...tell me...where have you found it...aha...i see...in the garbage...ok




Jon Stewart in his first host at the Oscar was for me a disappointment…as he was trying to make the audience laugh…at the beginning I had the feeling that he was a little bit nervous…but then he tried to overact to make the evening funny...but at least he was not horrible as Chris Rock in the last Oscar.
George Clooney was the star of the night…he was funny…confident and stole the attention from Stewart.


Ok…there were 2 surprises in this Oscar...see my predicitons...hmmm…actually one…because when I heard Will Smith presenting the movie ( Paradise Now ) in the foreign film category and saying that it was from the Palestinian Territory…and not Palestine…I knew it will lose…and I was right …Tsotsi won…but Hany Abu Asaad has done something I do not find any meaning for it...as if he wanted to be on the camera and to feel he has won in this category…when they announced the winner and he jumped from his seat…went to the actual winner – while he was on his way to the stage-and hugged him with happiness and joy.

And here comes the big big big surprise of this 78th Annual Academy Awards…it was when Jack Nicholson came up on stage and opened the envelope…then there was a 5 seconds of silence…and then I saw the big surprise on his face…his eyebrow went up…and then he said : and the Oscar goes to………………oh…….hm….CRASH….and all members of the film jumped from their seats yelling and shouting …as they deeply believed that it will go to Borkeback Mountain…well …we all know the reason why it did not :-(


everyone on this planet was sure that you will win...why were your hands shaking?

nice smile...nice performance...but too long speech



bravo...I hope you will not name your baby "oscar"

AlaaManal


Wow…Alaa and Manal…they are The Incredibles of this country…they gave me hope …I thought I was the only one who lives and thinks like that…but here they are…the new generation of love and peace…and other things…I am very happy for both of you…but here is a story

راجل و ست
من يوم ما وعوا على الدنيا
و هما بيشتغلوا على المركب
مع ناس كتيره تانيه
فى صيد السمك
بالشباك
بيخدوا اخر النهار
من رجال القبطان
سمكه واحده
يقسموها مع الناس الكتيره التانيه

الناس الكتيره التانيه كانت راضيه
ماعدا الراجل و الست
لأنهم كل فتره
بيشوفوا ناس تالته
على سفن تالته
بتشتغل اه
بس مبسوطه و متهنيه
اعدوا يلاحظوهم بيعملوا ايه
لأوهم بينزلوا البحر
بس مش عارفين بيعملوا ايه فى البحر
قال الراجل للست
منعمل زيهم
و نخللى الناس التانيه اللى معانا تعمل زيهم

قالوا للناس التانيه
معظمهم اقتنع
بس كان خايف
من رجال القبطان
شويه من الناس التانيه
قرروا يعملوا زى الراجل و الست
الراجل و الست نطوا فى البحر
و رجال القبطان بتتفرج
شاوروا للشويه من الناس التانيه
الشويه نطوا فى البحر
و رجال القبطان بتتفرج

الراجل غرق
الست كانت بتعرف تعوم
بس سمكه القرش كلتها
شويه الناس اللى فى البحر
نادوا على معظم الناس التانيه
اللى كانت على المركب
رجال القبطان انقذوا شويه الناس التانيه
والناس دى كملت شغل
مع معظم الناس التانيه
فى صيد السمك
بالشباك

God be with you ...Alaa and Manal

Zefton we Tinon

The most enjoyable thing is to be in a public bus…but you have to be careful…because it never stops…you have to run …jump…hold…get squeezed…shout loud…hold your breath…and finally jump for your freedom
You will know the feeling of a tuna fish squeezed in the can…you will smell a nice cocktail of sweat of people who do not know something called deodorant or think it is better to keep the money for something more useful…if you have luck you will get a big beautiful animal like a flea…and if you do not have luck you will miss a fight …especially between fat ladies…and if you want to reach the door you better jump from the window…because of the friction you will cause when you rub yourself with people in the bus…and this friction can make fire…especially if you get accidentally in touch with an ugly woman who thinks she is beautiful…she will think that you wanted to rape her in silence…but she will never let you go ….you will be immediately executed



I can not believe I was in my lovely bus today…I am honore
















The lady standing bedside this man had a zoo…she gave him two of her animals...of course as a gift…he was happy…he always wanted to have a pet…a dream came true














And here are the two friendly creatures…Zefton

A Journey of Truth

I am well educated…enlightened…live in a very good standard…and was independent…my mother is a professor in the university…my father is an expert in economics…they trusted me…I was free
We met while preparing for the new television series …I was responsible for the interior design… he was very nice to me…charm…and handsome…we talked a lot…I was older than him…we decided to get married…but to keep it as a secret…cause he was not prepared…I was also not prepared for that step…I was in love…it was a beautiful time…we were meeting in two places…his father had an apartment which was empty at that time…and he had another one outside the city…we had sex…we did not use contraceptives…he did not care about that…and never asked me about it…we went out to many places…we had fun…he was famous…and (religious)…people liked him…and everyday I liked him more and more…
and one day a friend of mine noticed some changes in my body…she told me to go to the doctor…I made some tests…he looked at me before telling the result…he saw a little smile on my face…he told me that I am pregnant…and I am already in the end of the 2nd month of pregnancy…I called my husband that he is going to be a father…he was somehow shocked…he went to a wise religious man and told him about the situation…he called me telling me that we still have a chance to make an abortion without it being a sinful act …I was shocked…I did not believe what I was hearing…I tried to change his decision but he insisted…I was in a dilemma…then he changed…his attitude changed…his behavior changed…everything changed…my baby was growing and I did not know what to do…but I was sure that I will never murder my baby…I kept on thinking whom I am going to tell…and I had only my parents…I went to my father and told him the whole story…he could not believe that I have made such a big mistake…I told him I was dumb…I was weak…I needed love…and needed care…I thought at that time that I am right…and that everything will just be ok…after my mother heard my story she did not want to see me again…she did not talk to me for a whole month…until the day came…the day when I showed her a picture of my baby moving inside…she cried…she was moved by that picture…she hugged me…at that point I felt that I am strong again…we are one strong family now…we decided not to solve a mistake by a chain of other mistakes…I decided to have that baby…and I was confident and brave to start my new journey…the journey of truth

Hind Al Henawi from the program ( Sira We Enfatahet )I watched on FutureTV
After the show I read some comments on zavenonline.com to see how people think about this issue…some were against Hind…others were against Ahmed…
I just want to say that when you do a big mistake ….you can not turn back and prevent that mistake to happen…but try to find the best solution for it…Hind made a mistake…Ahmed made a mistake…we will never learn without making mistakes…and I think many of us have learned something…so we have to stop blaming both of them all day and night…we have to find the reason...it is not their own fault…it is the fault of their double-face society

Oscar Predictions 2006

The final countdown…4 days left for the Oscars…and what an event…every year I try to see the nominated movies before the Oscar show to try to predict who is going to win …but this year is different….because only one movie of the five nominated movies was released in Egypt…and the other movies will probably not be shown in theatre because of its shocking content…so here is my predictions for 10 important categories :

Best picture Brokeback Mountain
