Your Friendly Neighborhood...

Everyday when I go to college, I wish that I can meet someone I know (a special someone) from my friends on the way to college. Every single day I go I wonder will I meet her?!

Well I don't always go to college at the same time so I always thought this should increase my probability to meet her. And every day I wait, wonder, will show up in the metro station, on the next corner, passing the street...my hopes go high then...BOOOOM, nothing.

Then I thought why should I meet her when I am going, can't I meet her on my way back?!!

I thought that meeting her at the beginning of the day, would make my day but I was a bit desperate and I wished I could meet her.

And a new hope of meeting her anytime, anywhere, just a glimpse of her sight would -as I thought- would change my day.

Then a funny thing happened, ironically funny. I met...but not her -unfortunately- others, friends, people I know, even people that been long since I saw them just bumped in my way.

At first I didn’t appreciate that thing, and wondered since I meet those people why can't I meet her and I complained and miserabled my self by that thought and I didn't see the reason why did this happen, actually I didn’t even bother thinking of it...i saw people that hayed me from far that I didn’t even know that they know me!!!

Anyway when incidents like that kept repeating itself I was hit in the face by an unexpected fact...here it was:

Though it would've been great to see her and talk to her a bit, but the problem that I was hanging my happily day by someone special, that right...but that is freakily insane . Common we can see someone to make us feel good, but its even BETTER to see so many people that hay greet and talk to you that many. But even better to be surrounded by may people that cheer you up and you by that feel more accepted and that thought of "A friendly people in a friendly neighborhood…

Sure I can have a deer friend to meet every day but guess what, what if I know that if him or her just isn't here doesn't mean I cant be happy or that I cant meet new people or even renewing an old relationship. Funny that if opened my phone book to find hundreds of name of people that know me and I do too then I just want to wait for one of them too call as if I would erase the rest and just cocoon myself to that someone.

Now I m just glad that I see a friendly face in a friendly neighborhood…^^

We'll Meet Again...


I remember when my family first entered the cable TV to our house, I was about 11-12 years old. That is when I saw the Oprah Show on MBC 4. Though it took me 2 shows to realize I like the Oprah show, I started watching my mom and me. And my God how many times we wished we could be on the show, well we are from Egypt so that luxury wasn't meant for us, but we were still delighted and happy just to be able to watch her.

Oprah I want to thank you because you gave me the passion to reading, my first book I read was the Secret after you made an episode on it, you gave me a vision that I can reach what I dream of, an ability to pursue my dreams and believe in myself, though I sometimes lake some self confidence but I keep my eyes on my goal.

So I said I can inspire people as you inspired me and others. So I served in my Community church as a mentor and a preacher for kids and took courses to do that too and a lot of reading spiritually and self-help books, and my focus was and still just to tell them 2 things...God Loves you in many ways and aspects and tell them you are accepted as you, a great human no matter what you do you are loved. And whatever you want to do you can achieve just keep your focus.

I made myself a quote so that I never give up: " If there is a treasure, and you are truly searching for it, you will eventually find it "

I said to myself I want to be an engineer and you can get to engineering school, and here I am in it, now I am saying you could go to take a Masters degree from MIT or Caltech, hard and I know that but I will never give up I will do every thing in my power and will leave it to God's hands to direct me believing in his love to me and his guidance.

Oprah, I want to tell you that you were the sound to pull me out of depression when I fall saying I can't, you were the voice to keep me going and what you did on your stage to help others inspired me to do so and reached my half way around the globe.

On your farewell show you said you are responsible, and you are right I was rejected by people for many bad habits I used to do, though I didn't know but because you pushed me to read I knew and started to change for the better.

It took me years and hours of crying tears and blood till I finally saw the green leaves of the small seed you helped plant in me.

Yes, I am responsible for people's acceptance, for the energy and emotions I transmit, for the love I give, for my life and what happened or will happen in it. I can't say I can't, no I can, God give me power to use it, gave me purpose to fulfill and for that I am alive and you made me remember that

Now I am 20 years old, A changed educated and enlighten man, able to right what is on his mind, and think properly, though I wished to see you earlier, but every thing happens in life is for a reason and it happens in a certain time, in the right time, that is what I believe . You inspired me to change, change my mental health, my way of thinking, my priorities, even my way of eating and my body, maybe more but those are the most significant to me.

For that Oprah, I thank you, thank God for making you like this and for putting you along people's way including mine. Thanks Oprah

If you were wondering why did I name my article like this, Cause I don't like farewells, and I know for certain that people meet in heaven and there is where I'm certain I will meet you, that's is why We'll meet again Oprah…

I tried my best to write what I feel, hope you like it , I feel you deserve more but this is the best I could write for what you did to me. I wrote my feelings sincerely and truthfully no exaggerations.

I don't know when will we meet and see each other(on that day or any day before), but till then thanks Oprah for you help. See you Oprah :)

"يا صاحب ، لماذا جئت ؟"




سؤال من المسيح لتلميذه في بشارة متي 27 : 50 .عتاب .. يمكن ،توبيخ بحنان .. لما لا ،نداء للاستيقاظ .. جائز ،او ربما دعوة للتوبة في لحظات اخيرة ،كلام منطقي .. لكن سبب السؤال وهل أثّر علي ذلك التلميذ ليس موضوعي . لكني اريد ان اسأل لو كنت مكان التلميذ ماذا كنت لافعل ،بصراحة .. سألت نفسي ذلك السؤال والرد كان سريع ،سأركع عند قدميه ببكاء وحزن أليم وأطلب الرحمة وبما اني اعرفه منذ وقت طويل فأنا أثق في قبول توبتي ،لكن هذا العام سألت نفسي ثانية نفس السؤال وقلت اني لربما سلمت ابن الانسان اكثر من مرة .مرة ذهبت لقداس الصيام في احد الايام الاربعين لان صديقي قال تعالي معي لكني كنت أشعر بملل ولم أركز في القداس .ومرة كي أقف مع الشمامسة كي يراني الناس ،ومرات كي اتقابل مع الاصحاب بعدها .ثم جاء اسبوع الالام وسؤلت مرة اخري قبل البصخة "لماذا جئت" ألعلي احرج من اقوال الناس اني غير روحاني او ربما لرؤية هذا فلان او تلك فلانة او ربما لمجرد ان يجب ان احضر .ونفس سؤال وقت التسليم في خميس العهد او وقت الالام في الجمعة العظيمة ،لربما تعودت علي الذهاب واصعب وقت وقت أسئل عن سبب فرحتي وتأنقي وانفتاح شهيتي وقد تتوقعوا بماذا كان ردي .

لكني أتمني حقا عند اجابتي ان تكون بلا تلك الاسباب ،ولا حتي لخوفي من العذاب ،او من عين الناس ،او بحث عن خلاص .اتمني حقا ان تكون " ان اكون معاك " اتعشي معه وهو معي . يتكلم واستمع .. افرح معه ....

والان اسئلك علي لسان سيدي "يا صاحب لماذا جئت"

Concur…”The King’s Speech” (2010)...Deserves Best Picture!!

OK…Tom Hopper(academy award winner Best Achievement in Directing, “The King’s Speech”,2010), and David Seidler(academy award winner Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen, “The King’s Speech”,2010)…well done though I thought David Fincher did better OK maybe a tie. But anyway, Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush both did a great performance, but I’m not an academy award voter. Smile with tongue out

 

kings-speech-2

 

But that was what I think, a nice movie with great story and actors, sometimes it went a little boring but not to close it, and the ending was very nice and deep actually, when the king said his speech was touching with that problem with speaking he had. It showed that one can overcome any problem he has,, hard as it may sound but when you reach your goal or over come your problem it will feel so great and you will feel so powerful and proud of your achievement, just trust in God to guide you and trust yourself that you can make, and surround yourself with people you love is so important so they can help you when you feel down or weak.

and that is why I think it deserved best picture in the 83rd academy awards…it pointed to a problem facing a lot of people and sometimes me. Not Believing in one’s self. Great work by all cast to produce a fine motion picture like this.

Though my favorite movie in 2010 was “Inception”, never get board, I watched it about 5 times and watched it twice in the movies which I didn’t do except in this and Avatar, but Avatar because it was 3D.

Maybe I will talk about “Inception” in another post, till then believe and have faith in yourself, God created you to be successful, so all you got to do is faith and believe, ohh…and keep your goals in front of you all the time so you don’t get lost, and even if you did get lost, believe that you can get back on track and complete your way to your goal. Smile

Movie Night “IN”

Though you may think what is this name , or you could think not a good quote, but actually I’m saying it because that is what is really going on.

My friends and I suggested we get a movie and watch it in our friend’s house where there is a flat BIG screen a comfy place, and of course the best thing that no one else is here. Its just us, the movie, some games, and well…maybe a something else…I won this game...that was their losing face :D :P

Not some girls, although I would have preferred it, but no, friendship and funny words with a bit of silliness would do the trick for a fun day and night, rather better than with some girls Angel Open-mouthed smile

We had fun as if we were at the movies (cinema). Hope we do it again. It was really fun, some gags, and a good movies

But nest time I should remind them with some popcorn…come to think of it, how on earth didn’t I mention it before?!!

Will do…will do…till next time.

!!للبنات فقط

يُقال إن الرجل حين يتألم يكره، بعكس المرأة التي حين تتألم تزداد عاطفةً و حباً !!...
فلو خٌلقت حواء من آدم وهو مستيقظ لشعر بألم خروجها من ضلعه و كرهها،
لكنها خُلقت منه و هو نائم .. حتى لا يشعر بالألم فلا يكرهها..
...بينما المرأة تلد و هي مستيقظة ، و ترى الموت أمامها ،
لكنها تزداد عاطفة .. و تحب مولودها ؟؟ بل تفديه بحياتها ...
لنعدْ إلى آدم و حواء ..
خُلقت حواء من ضلعٍ أعوج ، من ذاك الضلع الذي يحمي القلب
أتعلمون السبب ؟؟
لأن الله خلقها لتحمي القلب .. هذه هي مهنة حواء .. حماية القلوب ..
فخُلقت من المكان الذي ستتعامل معه
بينما آدم خُلق من تراب لأنه سيتعامل مع الأرض ..
سيكون مزارعاً و بنّاءً و حدّاداً و نجاراً ..
لكن المرأة ستتعامل مع العاطفة .. مع القلب .. ستكون أماً حنوناً
.. وأختاً رحيماً .. و بنتاً عطوفاً ... و زوجةً وفية .. .. ..
الضلع الذي خُلقت منه حواء أعوج !!!!
يُثبت الطب الحديث أنه لولا ذاك الضلع لكانت أخف ضربة على القلب سببت نزيفاً ،
فخلق الله ذاك الضلع ليحمي القلب .. ثم جعله أعوجاً ليحمي القلب من الجهة الثانية ..
فلو لم يكن أعوجاً لكانت أهون ضربة سببت نزيفاً يؤدي – حتماً – إلى الموت
لذا ...
على حواء أن تفتخر بأنها خُلقت من ضلعٍ أعوج ..!!
و على آدم أن لا يُحاول إصلاح ذاك الاعوجاج
إن حاول الرجل إصلاح ذاك الاعوجاج كسرها ..
و يقصد بالاعوجاج هي العاطفة عند المرأة التي تغلب عاطفة الرجل ...
فيا ادم لا تسخر من عاطفة حواء ...
فهي خُلقت هكذا ..
و هي جميلةٌ هكذا ..
و أنتَ تحتاج إليها هكذا ..
فروعتها في عاطفتها ..
فلا تتلاعب بمشاعرها
و يا حواء،لا تحزني كونكِ عاطفية..
فذاك كمالكِ ومنتهى روعتك...
فلا تحزني......
أيتها الغالية .... فأنتِ تكونين المجتمع كله ..
فأنتِ نصف المجتمع الذي يبني النصف الآخر

Why do anime have fillers?!!

1098627735753I always wondered up till recently why on earth would anime and manga authors put fillers in-between episodes of anime releases on TV. It even reaches that someone will stop watching a certain series. Well a lot of thoughts and theories were put to this matter, and the result was acceptable in general, but from a viewer point of view not exactly acceptable. The theories were like that…some said because the just want to excite people more into watching the series and not just only get the manga release of that certain series, but that was answered people are already excited to see the anime since they saw it on manga, beside manga is a bit lifeless so no need for delay. Some said to let authors have time to transform manga into anime. But the answer they already have the time, maybe this theory didn’t come out of graphics pros but then again didn’t please all. Well the dealers said that the answer is quiet simple to give both the manga and the anime release the time to sell, or if not that certain item weather it is the manga or the anime will fade quickly. But I think each have a different fan.

I didn’t have the opportunity to ask an author why do they put fillers. But anyway everyone chose the answer that will make him/her wait for a while till the release he/she waiting for be released.

A note to all manga and anime authors, don’t put SO MUCH fillers in-between the series’ story lines, cause we(Manga and anime fans—including me—) get frustrated and a bit sad by the time it take to get back on track.

New Things

Well…I want to try a new thing. I have a blog..obvious enough…but I think there was more to the blog than just articles…technically I got this IDEA from Mark Zuckerberg(Creator of Facebook)…though he used his blog in a wired way in the movie “Social Network” ( if that was true) but the point that the blog just to tell people what I think..so I decided to get “Microsoft Windows Live Writer” and post things to my blog…and maybe get a diary to my private stuff. Experts say that diaries or blogs improves ones writing abilities…so will give it a shot and see what will come up…
