The Witch of Portobello..I could not agree more!

"Like all women, I'd dreamed of an enchanted prince, who would marry me, give me lots of children & shower attentions on my family. Like many women I fell in love with a man who'd give me none of those things, but with whom I shared unforgettable moments.", Athena

People think that women's only dream is to get married & have children, and given what i've been telling u, u probably think that i've suffered a lot in life. I've known other men who wanted to 'protect me'. What they forget is that, from ancient Greece on , the people who returned from battle were either dead on their shields or stronger despite their scars. It's better this way: I've lived on a battlefield since I was born, but I'm still alive & I don't need anyone to protect me", Athena

Law of the twins

I could never put it right myself, Gerald Weinberg Law of the twins which states that:
occasionally—particularly when one isn't expecting it—a significant event occurs. On the other hand, most of the time, no matter how much effort one expends, no event of any great significance will result. :)

Being Patient Vs Taking Action

Patience to me is when you keep tolerating a situation having a strong faith that something better is coming, these days I see it as weakness more than being righteous. It is a feeling of a built self-humiliation. People think that since you are patient that means you are too weak to stand for yourself, or may be cos you don't have a way out, you got no other option than Patience..back to that word I'm starting to hate so much.

Sometimes you can tolerate situations that break your soul bit by bit each day till you feel it will eat you alive, that's when you realize taking action is mandatory.

I don't want to be patient anymore, I want to build some courage to take some big steps. I don't think that anyone would believe that taking action questions my faith or anything. The star question now is when & how "big question mark".

A Prayer

Today I'm mourning a very good person I met in this life, an ex-coworker & a friend.
Please whoever read this please pray for Ahmed Abd el Aal, pray that God forgives him & that God bestows patience upon his family
I remember how great a person he was, I remember the little things, I remember how he used to cheer me up by playing games of minesweeper, I remember how he used to let me win............I remember a lot of things & I won't forget a lot of times he's been there for me.
Pray for a good person who left this sad life for a better one isA.
اللهم اسكنه فسيح جناتك
انا لله و انا اليه راجعون

And I Cook!!

Yesss, I cooked people. I made my very own first French Toast..all me. And to my amazement it tasted really delicious!!
I wasa afraid it might taste all eggy, but it didn't. I even added some cinammon & ate it with jam..yummy!
So all those who said I'll never learn how to cook, this is a hit to ur face :P
I'm over now asking people to make me breakfast, i'm all grown up :D

Borders

Borders is the name of the store i liked so much, it's easy to guess what that store sells actually. Nope, not clothes nor perfume nor make-up :P
Borders sells books :), I spent a lot of my mornings in California in that store voyaging through book shelves.

Yeah sure I checked the IT book sections & found all Agile & Ruby on Rails books. I spent a lot of time even at the children book sections. I miss that store.

I think if anyone thought of a perfect gift to present to me that'd b a book.
Actually it's like a family tradition in my family, whenever u love someone u should share ur books with him. My uncle gave me a very rare edition for Tom Sawyer as a present, now that was a real nice gift. I think I might give it back to Teeta, may b when she grows up & stop making stories about Dumbo the elephant :).
