In the mood for some ranting?!

It is the weekend.. finally! I thought this week would never actually end! I mean, having three midterms on Tuesday, organic chemistry, physics and psychology -not a good combo might I say. I also had a midterm today, and an assignment due, so this week pretty much sucked ass!

So it was just a perfect timing for a good, i mean good, chick flick movie...and for that matter I chose to watch "The Lake House". One darn-good choice. Beautiful. Words fail me trying to explain how much I loved it.


However though, I always feel weird after watching such movies, 'cause it keeps me thinking about reality, and the real game. You'd enjoy watching the movie, but you'd still ask your-self, does that really happen in real life? Is there any successful true-love stories out there, somewhere? Or are we encaged in a cruel cold world, that doesnt spare you the time to love and be loved? I mean, living as a uni student, I dont even have the time to eat, or sleep.. how about socializing with people and meeting new friends? Will that change when I graduate? I don't think so. Its going to be the same ol' story, but in a modified form or style. I'd be just too worked up in my job to the point that I wouldn't have time to eat or sleep... or catch up with old friends for that matter.


So.. do we keep on waiting? Do we act in to the present? Or do we try to kid our-selves, by holding in to some hope that the day will come.. soon? Why do we try to be optimistic when it comes to love and relationships if some people don't even come close to having something? Is it because we are influenced by our friends who would probably be having a good relationship?

How about culture? tradition? religion? What is their say on this?

Too many questions to be answered, and I'll still be pondering...

Are you feeling the "holy spirit of Ramadan"?! Well I'm not!

The Holy month of Ramadan has arrived, and it came pretty early this year. I must tell you though, that it has been the worst days that I have ever spent fasting through out my life. The weird thing is that it wasn't that hard last year, considering that I was a first year student who is living abroad, but this year its very different. How? Well my friends usually ask me if I want to go swimming... boot camp... lunch maybe? and I'd answer them accordingly, but having to fast I'd have to quit these stuff for a month, so that my fasting would be easier and more "spiritual". Now that's when the crappy part comes along, instead of being considerate to my own circumstances and maybe ask to why I'm fasting or why can't I do a certain thing when I'm fasting, they'd jump on me, and act like they're trying to save me from starving myself out!

Any Religion is generally based on rules that certain believers obey; now the beauty of Islam comes along by giving the answers to why are we supposed to be obeying these rules... and believe me I'm not AT ALL offended when someone wants to show some interest in my religion and start asking questions, I do welcome any kind of inquiry at any time! Just shoot the question! BUT please ...oh please try to be at least friendly & interested when you are asking not surprised and taken aback!

Let me give you a simple example :) Now when people around me know that I'm fasting they'd usually ask me a type B question, rather than a type A, although the latter would seem more considerate and thoughtful:

Type A Question : Wow, you are fasting! I didn't know that! Can you tell me though why are you doing it?

Type B Question: Whatttt!!! you are fasting??!! wtf?! why are you trying to starve your self!

Now seriously, wouldn't you be offended if you were in my shoes??!! Being considerate is the least thing anyone can do!

At first I used to explain the reason to why am I fasting, after of course seeing the surprised and sympathized faces and looks, but then I just got fed up! So if you think that I'm starving myself, then that's what you WANT to believe, as for me, I'll keep on fasting, praying, reading my holy book "The Holy Quran", and not even caring about what you think of me as a Muslim.

Want to know why I'm doing this? ASK! But just don't be freakin' rude, that's all!

Now I feel so much better! Just ranting it out... so I guess that's it for today, hope you Muslims are all fastin' out there! "Happy Ramadan" as some of my "friendlier friends" would say that to me!

Take care ya'll!

A come back!

yesss.. I am BACK! What can i say, this vacation is coming to an end, and I got to end this ride...
and I should be back to the normal life of studying my ass off, then eating, then sleeping, then again studying my ass off. But I do hope, I'd spice the schedule a bit this time round... some exercising wouldn't be as bad!

It has been an interesting ride though, meeting up with the rest of the family in Syria, catching up with old friends in UAE, resting off from the study stress that has been on for eight months on a row of full torture! -but then who said a uni life would be easy?

Maybe I should be better off now, I'm not really in the mood of blogging anyway, I just felt sorry for this poor haunted webpage! Hopefully *crossing fingers* I should start blogging from now on.. so lets just hope :)

*Listening to "Message for the Queen -Tyler Bates"* -Thanks Fatoom, Now I cant get the tune off my head! But nevertheless, its a masterpiece, created with perfection. You should all look it up and listen to this song!

Adios My Invisible friends! Catch you later...

Pursuit of Happyness

well..well! what can I say, I didn't actually stick to my word when I said I'd write more often in this nearly empty web page. Okay so maybe it was partially my fault, but honestly, I had a pretty rough week and wasn't myself for a couple of days... However! I am back on my feet right now, and damn ready to blog! ohh yeahh! *getting overly excited for no reason*


You'd probably know now what am I going to talk about, and yesss its a movie review! you see, when it comes to movies I get very picky to that point that I can just start criticizing and never actually stopping! There are two types of movies -well at least in my dictionary- there are movies that are solely for entertainment, and movies which usually have some hidden lessons for us to learn from, and THAT ladies and gentleman, what I get attracted to, a lot!


"Pursuit of Happyness". . . well it IS the movie to watch! I have watched it over and over again, and each single time, it gets me, it is such a Beautiful movie! The best part of it, is that it is based on a true story, where a fairly unlucky man, struggles in life, in order to be happy, to be satisfied with himself, to stand out in everything, and after all to afford a comfortable life for his son and him.


I learnt a lot from this movie, because it showed that everything in our lives is based on Happiness, its the core of everything. If you still don't believe me, lets apply an example based on questions, and by the end of it you'll see exactly what I'm trying to point out here:


Q: Why are you studying soo hard in your university, and aiming for high grades?

A: So that I can have some self respect, and maybe a really good job.



Q: Why do you need a good job?

A: So that I'd have enough money.


Q: Why do you need the money?

A: To afford a good a house and a car maybe.


Q: Why do you need the house and the car?

A: So that i can live comfortably, and satisfied with my-self.


Q: Why do you need that?

A: Because when i reach self-satisfaction, I get over-whelmed with happiness.



Now that is something right there!! I don't mean though that money can buy happiness, but it does bring self-satisfaction, and with that a person can feel happy in a way or other.

Each person has to "pursuit" happiness in his/her own way, some people can be happy while reading a book and eating some chocolate, other people are happy when they are going on a cruise in the pacific, its just a matter of who likes what, and who enjoys what. What matters really is to be happy and fulfilled in oneself.

I guess that's too much rambling for now, but I'll try really hard to keep up with this thing, because after all its the only place where i can truly express myself -my opinions -my thoughts..

Peace out people!

An Introduction..

Well hello there!

First of all, I would like to welcome you, to my humble web page, and I hope you'd enjoy the visit!

Now that's out of way, I want to actually talk more about what am I going to discuss in this space, because I' neither a writer nor a poet, but I find it easier for me to actually voice my thoughts, ideas, rantings through writing more than just discussing them with a friend or two out loud. I do believe it would give me enough space to explain my-self, and of course, to a larger mass of people.

This blog, is going to be mostly rantings, rantings about experiences that I had and value, or maybe discuss a movie review that I found remarkably beautiful. I could engage in to some controversial topics that needs to be discussed and mentioned. However, this IS the first blog that I ever had, so I would greatly appreciate the over-looking of some immature and innocent spelling and structural mistakes, you see my only excuse is that we ARE only humans.

I'll try to up-date this thing every once in a while, maybe a lot nowadays, because its summer, and I have absolutely nothing to do!

So adios my friends, for now, maybe I'll think of something interesting to talk about by the end of the day...

P.S. I -AM- looking for a better title, but I'll just stick to this for a while!

Peace!
