The Happy Post :D

mabda2yan keda da mesh happy post 7'ales :D .. it's just there has been a looot of funny responses i got about a post posted a couple of posts back keda :D (ba7awel ma2olhash 10 marat )

The funny thing ba2a is that many ppl thought i was talking about them, some were surprised, some were like "eh da ", and some got offended. elly got offended dol ba2a ely da7akoony because it was a total joke between me and a friend and they really took it seriously and personally. I really didn't mean that w sorry ya3ni if anybody got offended bs most of the ppl who got offended didn't get the point. Anyway that's why it's funny for ppl cause kol elly 3la rashom bat7a came forward and called or made contact to know if i was talking about them cause i read what they wrote about a friend wla 7aga :Dtab3an mafeesh 7aga mn di 7asalet w I never wud 've known aslan.

It got hilarious ba2a for me when somebody thought i wrote that because sb did that to me and wrote sth about me and i read it .. LOL. ofcourse when i wrote it, it brought some memories of the sort, some of which might've been about me. But what really triggered this wasn't about me .. actually it was about a person "X" and they are not exactly my friend. I just happened to see sth offensive about them. As always i never thought those two ppl could know each other, bs they did :D it was like: that post is about "X" ? .. well yeah do you know them!! .. yeah used to :D .. :| .. tab3an they knew later that "X" isn't my friend bs still i refused offending ppl and we laughed about it and it was a joke w 7'alas :D ... well that person "X" is not really a friend actually i don't really like them anymore and i won't use the word hate just because i don't really care that much :D well they knew tab3an that the fact that this "X" is alive isn't really of interest bs my point was that i hate offending ppl and talking behind their backs.. i don't mean gossip, we all gossip (not like it's a good thing or ath) bs the idea in general sounds bad to me .. anyway tab3an ironically i found out that "X" was talking badly of me for some time now.

Anyway kol da bardo 3shan ba2a 2a2ool what really surprised me is me bardo ( self centerd, ana 3arfa), i didn't regret it a bit that i refused the idea of talking badly about "X", it didn't feel like it was for "X", cause i really don't care about "X", bs it's the idea in general. I mean, writing this reminds me that i've always been like that, i once said it to a person whom i didn't know very well, "mateshtemsh el nas". I didn't know that person 7'aaaaales he was a friend of a friend of a friend , ya3ni bebasata el rad ykoon wenty malek aw 7'aleeky f nafsek aw simply simply simply yenfadly, bs i never liked the idea. bardo i don't mean gossip, we all gossip, it's not a good thing but it happens. bs i don't insult ppl , sa7ee7 i make it clear i don't like them bs i don't insult them w i don't talk badly of them infront of ppl who don't know them very well. bardo for the ppl who got offended ma3lesh :D 7'erha f 3'eirha , ma3 en mesh kolohom yestahlo bs w malo :D

bs the funny thing is that many ppl thought this was about them .. you know you can try this for fun every once in while .. it was really an eye-opener n kol wa7ed 3la raso bat7a :D you just have to know what kind of bat7a to trigger. :D

P.S. ya reit bardo el nas matensanash beda3awatha 3shan el sana lessa ma7'lsetsh w ya rab kol ely 3ando mashroo3 yegeeb imtiaz :D

Dream... Dream, Dream, Dream!

I've been wanting to write about this for while now but basically i didn't have enough time.. and although now i seem very busy with exams and projects and all, i really don't know how is it gonna be about a month from now. And no, this is not another piece about graduating and leaving and missing friends , of course all this crossed my mind and is true but it's not what i mean.
Surprisingly this thought didn't hit me except a month ago or so, not the thought of graduation of course, it's the thought of possibilities. when i thought about it before it always had this positive, hopeful vibe to it, like i can do what ever! But now it seems a little bit complicated, what is this "whatever" that i'm gonna do. which one will i choose ? why will i choose it? Will it make me happy? will i be successful doing this " whatever " i chose !? it really seems very complicated right now, confusing as well. I've always had those dreams, they were like three dreams, and now finishing college there is one other possibility i can choose. When i was young i thought those dreams will go away, that they were just part of growing up but they didn't! I mean everybody had dreams, like they wanted to be a singer or a painter or a journalist. and when you finish your studies and that you're just free to pursue any dream of those. What makes it complicated is that how do you know what will make you happy the most? which of those you will excel in?
i always believed if you like what you do you'll excel in it! but which of my dreams do I like most! and if i answered that question a bigger complication is there, which is if i actually did that will i still like it? if you wanted to be a painter for example, Yes maybe you like to paint but will paint for the rest of your life, will you take whatever painting throws at you, will you just paint for the sake of painting, have you made a pro and con list and Accepted the cons ???
then comes the next argument, if you wanted to be a singer for example, well may be you like singing, but that does not mean you can really sing, does it?! and if you think you can really sing, are you competent enough? To stand out from all the others you have to be different and in a good i assume. You have to have something special! Do you have it ?

All those questions are just the, attacking me. They are even growing to be more bigger and more complicated. There always will be the very normal option which every body thinks about even i did when i chose this college. Applying what i've studied and working in what's supposedly to be my field. Of course this path also is subjected to all those questions.
I always liked possibilities, options. who doesn't? every thing we want in life we want it with more options and the more the better of course. And i've always knew what i wanted even with option , i knew exactly what options i wanted and which i didn't, or can do without . Now options just add a complication, adding more mystery and another insecurity to life. I don't hate those options yet :D I just want to make up mind and want an honest opinion.
I already made some decisions in my life already and i hope they are right! i just hope it wasn't just the safest escape :D
Well with all that said, i think it's not the first time i make a decision about my life, it's that options right now are many and they are kind of more important than before. Well again these might be the first Big and important decisions that will decide my life, but i think they will not be the last, even if i took any of those paths, there is no book to says what to do and where the road goes. so there will always be those decisions that i have to make but still i can not think of as many decisions and i don't think they will be for as many roads but there will always be a decision to make! We just hope the final decision is the right for us, it doesn't have to be right or wrong, it just have to be right for us, to make us happy and wanting to continue the journey, wherever the road goes, with all the obstacles and downs, and be ready for more and more decisions to make :D

Blogs!!

What is wrong with ppl ?! don't they know what blogs are? don't they realize they are on the internet ?!???
Well blogs aren't exactly a diary ? or at least that's how i see it. but i mean if you want to have a diary.. then have a diary :D have a notebook or have a file on your computer or have a one note document .. do what ever? but i just surprises me that ppl post stuff saying bad things about other ppl and they just don't think they're ever gonna find out?? What amazes me most ba2a is when they know the ppl they posted that about knew they said sth about them.. they are like " How did you know that ?!! " and they are very veryy surprised ??? what is that ? :D
i don't know what to consider that ? whether funny or stupid or juvenile or naive ??
well mostly it's just funny :D it's like they do not know this is the internet... which might be starnge to you but basically it means that anybody can see anything that you post on it :D
especially if it's on your blog :D
maybe this info was brand new to you ppl out there! but sadly that's the truth..
so face it :D
and don't be surprised the next time when you learn that sb knew what u said about them behind their back :D

N.B. exams ba2a da mawdoo3 tany!! ya reit kol el nas ted3y l kol el nas elly 3andaha exams :D
