I'm very blessed last week, I managed to cheer two people with a very little thing. Even if you can't solve any problem, you can always listen, just listening builds a mount of relief in others, specially if they felt they could trust you with anything, they'll spill out all their thoughts of discomfort.
I'm happy I could be of use towards others. Sometimes God employs people to help others.. Was I that blessed to be one?!
One of the things I treasure the most, is when I enter a soul searching conversation, I mean when you start discussing something so close about yourself and start having an enlightened sight of ur attitude through the on going dialogue. Sometimes you find yourself telling others words you want to repeat to urself.
It's a little thing I did, I hope I'll b in the way of many others-in the positive meaning of the sentence-to offer more and more isA.
A personal reminder, always reach out to people who's in need for cheering, even if you are feeling down. Try cheering others, it'll eventually cheer you as well.

Movie Review For My Editor
I'm late..I'm late for my movie review which will be viewed by my new blog editor..hope it'll be good enough:)
I'm writing a movie review cos recently I go out to cinemas alot, actually I'm reminding myself to go out often. I've been on vacation for like 10 days, I went out alot. Anywhere in sweet alexandria, you name it..I've been there. Try watching the sunset in "el montazaah" amazing view;)
So back to the movie reviews- my editor said I'm a bit talkative now I'm starting to feel my editor's right-I've been to: Brother's Grimm, King Kong, Constant Gardner, Rumor Has it, Derailed and finally Munich.
I'll commence my review with "Munich", I won't get deep in details cos I want all people to enjoy it.I'll just state my opinion about it. The main core is about revenge, will u feel any pride or honour after you have taken back ur revenge?! and ofcourse the movie drives u into the huge dispute around..The LAND
The movie doesn't show arabs as barbarians, on the contrary they are symbolized in the most descent, generous and intellecutal forms.
Though you'll find lots of preaches so u role out what u don't like, there's also an unreasonable encounter between Israeli and arab active groups, where music solves the argument!!
I quote a line I liked the most: "It costs dearly..a home does".

The Rebellious me is back
The old fighter in me rose again. I came to a strange thought about being rebellious, What's a rebellious? someone who rebels on wrong deeds around oneself & tries to change it to the better? or someone who's just contradicting the habitual state around oneself to appear of unique character?!
Don't be over judgemental about the second definition of being a rebellious, trust me it happens all the time but can u give execuses for being of the second type?!
Me as a rebellious, started with fighting the domination trend and fighting my family to really understand my thoughts. It's such an isolating feeling when you reach out and noone's there to understand or even when they do, they tend to put u down..
Why don't they reach back? I think it all relates to the fact that they don't want to change their thoughts they were raised upon. When you enter an argument with elder ones, keep in mind you are fighting their years of experience too not just a thought or belief.
An amazing fact about me being in rebellion, I'm actually fighting things that directly affects others around me & not me directly but at the same time they necessarily affect me indirectly!!.
I learnt the great importance of being patient but be patient while u r a fighter not as a weak soul who resides in despair. I thank God for his merciful most generous gift of guiding me back to my strong high confidence feeling. I'm no longer stuck, I'm right where I belong..I am free:)
I think I'll continue talking about this matter in more details later on..

Little things matter the most
Do you realize the little things you say, these insignificant jesters you make daily unconsciously?
Have you ever wondered how that affects others?!
I notice such small things in people's dialogues mainly, it can also be some minor action. But what really inspires me is the power of words.
I have to recall this incident, one day, I was sitting in my room, then out of the bloom..my dad came & looked me in the eyes and said:"Sahar, u know that I love u alot,don't u?!", I found myself starring back and saying:"Ofcourse I do, I love u even more",that made my week actually, not just my day :).
I love smiling in children's faces as I pass by, yes it lightens my day too:)
A simple "I care for u", aiding someone u don't even know in the streets is enough to make any person's day. Do u give others a chance to do a little thing for u?! or u just don't expect it in the first place ?!
Care can be communicated in the form of presents, gifts and the like..but what really affects me is just true sincere words, words you surprise urself are coming out of u without involving ur mind, still mind u, choosing the right time to say such words is of great factor too..Have you encountered such moments?!
People in very long ragging struggles with people of worth-I've been in one within my family-have u thought of clearing the clouds with just a simple word or even a smile?!

My Brave Gfs
I have to share this about my girl friends, we are like seven best friends, we met mainly at high school & one of them I grew up with since kindergarten.
Each one of them is a unique entity in herself, each with an amazing view upon life & their goals. I got a friend who's a housewife, whom in my opinion is doing the greatest job ever & that'd b raising youngsters. My other friend starting her career at cairo, which is very hard for her, another is trying to shift her career by now, she has the kindest soul among us-she's the one I grew up with since we were little girls. A teacher who's not only teaching syllabus, she affects her students with her spirit as well. An architect with a very strong opinion about her work. And last but definitly not least, another architect who's pretty much like me, we definitly got our minds on one track, she's a dreamy person with an inspiring sense of art.
What makes them unique in my opinion, is that they are true to their principles and dreams, those things never change with time. They just keep them right ahead in their minds.
I foolishly grew a distance between me and them, I'm the only girl child in my family so these girls aren't just friends, they are my true sisters, I'm very blessed to have such souls around me, I wonder if I had a sister, would she be as close?!. I know I could wake up anyone of them in the middle of the night and she'd just give the best advice ever. Even when I'm not around you can be definite they'll discuss how can they cheer me up when they feel I'm down.
You girls are brave in your way of handling life. I cherish each of you. Always be true to your beliefs. Again, I'm very blessed to have such good characters in my life. I'll always be there for you girls with an endless love in my heart for each of you. You go girlfriends :D
So ask yourself, are you true to ur friends, principles and dreams?!, If not, reconsider It's never too late:)

The Reason
Well my reason for starting a blog relates to my constant thought of having a diary. Not like any diary,where I state my days-mostly boring ones-but as a constant reminder for myself of the happy moments I pass by in this life, so hopefully when I face some hard moments I'll have a quick solution and that'd b opening my blog :)
I am of small age, I reagrd myself as such..But still I think I've been through alot of mind shapping experiences, still there are more to come..I'm sure.
Tech talk?..yes, I think I'll include some tech talk in my blog..It's a part of my life too.I actually feel down these days cos I'm not that involved in tech talks. So, may be oneday my blog will be filled with lots of comments from people rambling on about some new language or technique..oh yes I'm a software developer, or so they say..I wonder!!
Also, who knows?! I might state something that can be of guidence to other people out there. Sometimes I get wise, I amaze myself actually at some moments.
Finally, I hope my blog will be of value and not some idea I found nice & didn't go on with it.
