PLAY?! (adults only)

2008-03-16T10:02:00.000-07:00

If you are feeling energetic a little bit, or even love playing. So now it is your turn. It is time to play! If you think that you grew up enough to stop playing. That is what is required, adults to play the game of pretending. Pretending that you are a real Egyptian citizen.yah! Are you ready? But first of all as every game must have its own rules .so it's time to set rules...If you agree to these rules, then you are gonna to click on the button of start, seem hurried? Slow down we are just at the beginning. To be areal Egyptian citizen as in the game, or more accurately to pretend that you are, you have to leave all your wrong habits and trivial traditions away. For example: you will have to walk on the pavement as a good citizen. I know that is hard for you and you aren't used to do so, or it maybe be shameful for you to break your own laws that requires going in the opposite direction of everything, just to save your uniqueness from being distinct…also remember no more horning your klaxon .if you are gonna to complain that all people do so,, you have to catch up with them, as" the world is developing by us" .And if there is no traffic congestion ,you won't do so. So it is the government responsibility to solve this problem and then you obviously won't touch your klaxon. What such a wise man? I apologize to you for this disorganization but you have to commit that if you won't get more babies to this life -if not to save us from this congestion and overpopulation, just to save them from living all their lives horning their klaxons too-,I guarantee that all these problems will be solved basically. and if you are saying that you are a poor citizen don't have the luxury to buy even a little car and you have no choice but to get in the crowd transportation like ordinary citizens .ok then you get it to yourself .Do you leave your seat to a lady , old woman or old man. or you take a seat regardless of that sign saying that this place is reserved for the old ,and insist seating pretending not to see them screaming from pain. Holding your seat as if you are going to take it home with you! And please don't scream in my face saying that" isn't it the equity you call for? Women equals men, you claimed that, then you have to bear the consequences, Isn't it your fake liberty you always seek? Aren't you always trying to get out of male society domination and live without restrictions on your own lifestyle, then go ahead but go away from me and don't annoy me with your trivial talking". No sir. You are wrong, you misunderstood what equity means. It doesn't mean becoming senseless .it means not to make something banned for her and obviously let it is allowed and ok for you. It means not to make your wife a servant for you, cooking, cleaning, make you happy and cheer you up whenever you want and you don't! Raising your children and they are also yours! Serving you as "se sayed" without any appreciation or grateful words .Of course, she doesn't wait something in turn for her effort but just self recognition. We as women didn't ever call for considering us invisible creatures, we are calling for no more "sye said'ages.we won't be "Amina"any more. We have our entity as well.sorry, back to the game rules, also no more throwing trash in the streets, don't tell me you don't. Remember no cheating in this game. Yes it is pretending, but that doesn’t mean pretending to be a liar. Simply, it is pretending the truth we seldom confess. Again you are going to complain that there are no rubbish baskets in the streets and it is the responsibility of this sleepy government that seems lives in other planet but of course not ours! I would tell on the behalf of it, you when you pay the governmental taxes, talk about what ought to be. When you do so, then the government would be able to live us in luxury and provide these baskets easily. You may accuse me iam with government, but I swear iam with the right. If you unfortunately get sick of the game's rules, they are not finish yet and the list is long to a degree you can't ever imagine. Get sick of your self first. Realize that you aren't areal good citizen...stop tricking yourself anymore. Repeat your calculations. Maybe be you realize that you were wrong.Then change is supposed to be the next step otherwise you will be eliminated from the game. The game of life…..and sorry to announce that

Game Over!!!

But if you follow game's instructions from the first beginning, then congratulations, now you deserve to be called a real good citizen …but wait you are nominated to the next level! There won't be ever enough of rules but the challenge is that whether you decide to go on or just take enough …it's your choice to win against your self or to just give up and surrender. Are you ready? And for those who don't want to play correctly, playing request is still pending if you change your opinion and get back to your conscious...May I say welcome back?

Are you kidding?

A study says that 53%of men believe that women take more than their rights and what they deserve…as soon as I read this, question jumped into my head. Are we living at the same country? Do they really mean Egyptian women? They should be mistaken. How come they are talking about Egyptian women, while their position in our society retards back. How come they said that women in Egypt took more rights than they deserved? Can you even count them to me? or May be they mean the Egyptian women experience more pain and difficulties more than their abilities ,they were always in the second place while they deserve to be in the first…and if we suppose that they are right and 53% of men think that about Egyptian women. Then what's about foreign women? The French, American, or British one .if we compared both of them, we will find that there is no way to compare. We-Egyptian women-didn't reach ever to this level. To the level that women are preferred in jobs than men or at least equal, to the level that we are encouraged to do something rather than disappointing us that whatever we did, we would remain in the back. To the level that we feel that we don't exist, and our place isn't in the kitchen serving men and they aren’t even grateful. Gender gap in our society began to increase .a little attention should be given to the women. They only need chances to prove themselves. No more restrictions are to be set on them while men are living the way they want, but women shouldn't! Why? Simply because they are women! Didn't you witness injustice like that? This society gives every right to the man, and uproots it from women. Remove restrictions from him, set it on her. What such a difference? On behalf of all women: To those who voted among 53% and to those who think the same. You don't know anything about women; you seem certainly talking about another woman, of course not Egyptian one. Trying to manipulate facts instead of facing them won't be the solution. Eventually a simple advice, get out from your limited thinking .Try to see others well as you see yourselves clearly enough that made you don't see the other gender, but only you. And if you can't, tell me to get you magnifying glasses. The prescription is pills of truth. And don't worry there is no side effects. But if you don't take them, all your life will be side effects of your poisoning thoughts!

The Road to the White House ,who wins?

2008-02-29T16:44:00.000-08:00

....
Day after day, American presidential elections launches anew turn, getting hotter than it has ever been. and the question of who is gonna to win still debated ,and sooner or later it would have a certain answer, but no one thinks what's next ,what we are waiting from this president! If this president would be Hilary.Obama.or even Mccain! beginning with Mrs. Hilary who has confused the public with her position of voting on American war on Iraq and later on she opposites it in contrast leaving all her previous principles she believed in and struggled for , that action caused in turn a lot of angry reactions not only from her opponents, but also from the people were supporting her, attacking her saying that she doesn't have a specific position,-and to say the truth she gave them the chance to do so-some times being in favor of something and later change her position and became strongly against it, ,How come Americans can choose her to be their president If she is now changing her opinion and confused us, so what is gonna to happen when the American people let her rule them?!? serious doubt is being cast on her ability to win the nomination. as in the case of Obama, he is the luckiest candidate to win in the presidential election, who un expectedly wins in most states till now though he is black, born in slavery ages, come from African roots and not from the elite, prove that American people not only black, trust him and believe that he can represent all types of people in spite of their roots, classes and colors ,and for Hilary Clinton ,if she wins ,she will be the first lady to take over and rule America. So either Barack Obama or Hilary wins, it will be a shift in the American history .still the debated question pending, who is gonna to win, Hilary or Obama from democrats' party or John Mccain from the republicans' party? It is hard to predict, as they are both too close to the top than it has ever been. Neither is now at all certain .But for us who wins has a totally different criteria. for us , who wins is closely linked to one issue, very simple and very complicated at the same time, and it is simply who is paying much more attention to Middle east issues, who is able to get out from Iraq with a little damage and try as possible to resolve what others cause with their stupidity as there is no longer time for talking and useless negotiations, serious action should be taken, who is gonna to know that Egypt won't ever let any country no matter how big and powerful it is to interfere in its matters under any pressure, even it is the US aid to Egypt or whatever else, who is understanding that Egypt isn't a puppet state and it has its own full sovereign entity that it is a red line can't be penetrated under any circumstances, we need a person can be able to put an end to the American-Iranian conflict, so don't be tricked, we-Egyptians- do care about the American presidential elections may be also concerning us more than the American people! The national vote will take place in November, the four, when the American people will vote around the country to decide not only America's but also the world's destiny. that is not to say that the American election should pass as its previous did, we should benefit from it and realize how democracy process reached there, proving practically that "democracy is better than breeding revolutions", let Egypt infect from this American democracy mania, we don't want any injection to get rid of it, but to the Egyptians less attention to politics, and less caring about what is going on in their country. There is a huge different between what is and what ought to be, realizing what is going on in our political arena isn't enough to reach what ought to be, the motivation to get to our potential democracy won't be found anywhere but inside us first, only when we believe that we can do something !

Along time pass since I heard the phone ringing, I don't know why I was so upset that day. Of course you know the feeling when you get up in the early morning. Sometimes, you don't want to talk with anyone or to hear anybody. It seems that you consider yourself still sleeping. But that day I felt so lonely .it is normal –sometimes- to be alone, but what is not normal is to be alone although you are surrounded by a big crowd. This day, I considered it would be like the last days, full of phone calls, and big banes, but in fact, no one talked. it seemed that I lived in an isolated land opposite the past.i turned to the phone as its silence extended abnormally for hours and hours, then I thought "well, maybe it is out of order, then I focused on my mobile, waiting it to give any ring or even amissed call, but my waiting seems to have no end and its silence increased, then I thought what if the net was busy as usual? Subsequently no one can call me."Ohh, yes.that is a good excuse" to let my mind calm, I convinced myself. so I turned to the door ,waiting a surprise or un expected visit from anyone as usual, but this reason also disappointed me, as no one came, I told me self it might be raining outside, but I didn't even try to look out from the window to keep myself still convinced that every thing is going alright .At the end of that day ,I learnt that you are the person who can make your life gloomy or rather satisfied ,you can make your life easy ,or make it complicated by getting angry from just trivial things ,,so you choose ,it is up to you

Nice Mail i have got

2007-03-23T17:07:00.000-07:00

Once, a lady when having a conversation with her lover, asked:

Lady: Why do you like me? Why do you love me?

Man: I can t tell the reason... but I really like you.

Lady: You can t even tell me the reason... how can you say you
like me? How can you say you love me?

Man: I really don t know the reason, but I can prove that I love you.

Lady: Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friends boyfriend can tell her why he loves her but not you!

Man: Ok... ok!!!
Umm...

because you are beautiful,

because your voice is sweet,

because you are caring,

because you are loving,
because you are thoughtful,

because of your smile,

because of your every movements.

The lady felt very satisfied with the man's answer.

Unfortunately, a few days later, the lady met with an accident and went in comma.

The man then placed a letter by her side, and here is the content:

"Darling, because of your sweet voice that I love you... Now can you talk? No! Therefore I cannot love you.

Because of your care and concern that I like you... Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love you.

Because of your smile, because of your every movement that I love you... Now can you smile? Now can you move? No, therefore I cannot love you...

If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love you anymore.

Does love need a reason? NO!

Therefore, I still love you..."

Never take some one for granted, hold every person close to your heart, because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones."

Furniture shopping can be a lot of fun or it can be a nightmare, depending on your personality and preferences. Furniture is something we all need and can’t do without. For many, their home furnishings are an extension of their personality. They have to have antiques, or Danish, or Italian modern and nothing else will do. For others, furniture is purely functional: a chair is a chair. Others are not too concerned with style as they are with color. They want bright colors or muted colors. They want it splashy or they want it conservative. Some people are meticulous and have to have every item coordinated in terms of color, texture and style. Others just buy what they like whether they go together or not.

Here’s some helpful tips on getting the most value for your money, and choosing furniture that will work with your home and your lifestyle. You’re friends will be green with envy when they see your new look.

Once you’ve decided what would look good where, and how large of furniture you can purchase, you need to set your budget. Decide how much money you are willing to part with and stick to it

Make choices that will last you for years. Don’t choose trendy furniture that you’ll be tired of in six months. Furniture is a big investment, so keep your tastes in check and choose furniture that will look and feel good for years to come. You can add some trendy small ticket items such as vases or wall décor. Keep your furniture colors easy to work with. That way you will be able to do a room face lift just by changing out small ticket items, like pillows, ornaments, and wall art

Once you know how much your going to spend you’ll be able to decide on the type of furniture. Determine the type of use the furniture will get. Are you buying furniture for a family room or a living room? If your buying for a family room you’re going to want to look at furniture that’s built to hold up with high use. If your buying furniture for your living room, and it’s more of a show room then you might look at fancier, less functional furniture.

Be simple in your choices,TRY not to choose many complicated and too many strange things to let the others concentrate in ur design and feel comfortable.

Don't Waste your MONEY buying SECONDARY things,u have to let ur Main wanted pieces in the first stage.

Stress free furniture shopping can be accomplished with just a little bit of pre- planning. Now all that’s left to do is enjoy your new room!

Guess what is that??

Warning for all girls...real story

2007-02-09T06:42:00.000-08:00

IF U R A GIRL TAKE REALLY GOOD CARE & IF U R A BOY TELL GIRLS U KNOW TO TAKE CARE!! Today after office hours, I heard from my friend that there is a new way to rape women. It happened to one of our good friends.The girl left the office after working hours and saw a little childcrying on the road. Feeling pity for the child, she went and asks what happened .The child said, "I am lost. Can you take me home please?"&then the child gave her a slip and told the girl where the address .And the girl, being an average kind person, didn't suspect anything,took the child there.And there when she arrived to the "child's home", she pressed the door bell,yet she was shocked as the bell was wired with high voltage, and fainted.The next day when she woke up, she found herself in an empty house up in the hills, nakedShe has never even got to see the face of the attacker...That's whynowadays crimes are targeted on kind people. >>Next time if the same situation occurs, never bring the child to the intended place. If the child insists, then bring the child to the police station. Lost children are best sent to police stations.

this is the result of cheating!
