Egypt Needs Blood...

Egypt needs Blood !! Yes we do, need alot of blood, okay we all know the whole story of the blood bags and the contamination and Hani Suroor and the Whole Haydeleena Company problems...

Well move one every body go and Donate please, it's really needed, for all those whom are healthy and sure that ur blood is clean , go and give a quarter of litre, either in Red Crescent (EL Helal el A7mar) Ambulance vans, or in Resala, or in nearby hospitals, anything, there's a great shortage of blood, and it's our turn to give some...

Think of all the small kids and adults, whose lives are on the edge and really need a drop of clean blood....

If you're going to the Cairo International book Fair, you'll find the Red Crescent Ambulance vans there, people are really friendly and nice, i went yday and donated with a 1/4 litre of my blood, i hinted that i suffer anemia and everything , they gave me sum juice and some drops for blood pressure, they measured my BP and did a small check, and i just did it...

So enjoy buying books and saving kids, what could ever be better:)

Please whomever going to donate, come here and tell me how it went, and tell everyone about it we need alot of donations, i asked the guy in the Van and he said they only got 60 bags since morning, and it was about 4.pm i mean that's not much, for the enormous number of people visiting the Fair...

Go for it, every month, do it once it's good for your health...it's not bad as long as you're healthy:)

Your clean blood will be running in some other person's veins saving his life..

So, am getting my first Taggg lool...

I found out by coincidence checking Blue's blog http://bluelue.blogspot.com/ that i've been Tagged!!! it's about how ur handwriting expresses you and stuff , well as much as i knw ya3ny :D..

my handwriting doesn't look clear here, but here it is ;)

Wanna pass this Tag to mmmm Sou, Kady,Zakzook , Ayman and Sarah:D

Pheeeww! finished my exams yday, and omg i just got all of my four subjects in just one week!! that was so hard on me, plus my flu, anyway glad i finished, my last exam was so bad i did really bad, i was unlucky on that exam, i lost my lectures papers in some hassle in the car between friends and alot of papers:(
So i had to study from some old notes that i got, but they weren't worthy ...

Yalla, the most important thing is that i started my last mid-year vaccation, which is affecting me greatly, feels i've grown up , and the count down to graduation started:)

Today i woke up early, went to the hairdresser and came back i dressed and went downtown (Wust el Balad) there was something different today the weather was so beautiful, it was sunny with cool air but mainly warm, there was a vague calmness in the streets, one can rarely find down town calm like that, i could hear the birds singing and the lovely voices of trees branches shaken by the cool air....

People were smiling, i saw lots of tourists , and they seemed happy with their walks, some were looking up a Cairo streets map, some were just wandering or having light brisk walks...

This atmosphere cheered me up, felt peace around, that's not a feeling u easily get walking down Down town, but it happened!:)

Am so lonely these days, all my friends are still having exams even my sister and brother, so everyone is busy and am left alone;) i like hangin out on my own much, especially when am down or when i go shopping, but 2day i wanted to stay a bit in Costa cafe` for a while or go for some ice cream or anything, all my friends couldn't come:(
And so i went on my own, but came home early, felt i need someone to talk to , not just wander aimlessly, and so i came home and went to bed:)

So, so far my vaccation is boring but am looking forward to complete my volunteering work at the "Egyptian Centre For Women's Rights" http://www.ecwronline.org/ and hopefully we'll be able to launch the Anti-Sexual harassment campaign inshAllah, i stopped working for a while because of exams stress, but am willing to complete and be as Rebecca who works there call me the "small activist" :D
I would love to be, i believe that Actions speak louder than words, i don't like to criticise my country all day and night and watch everything falling around me and not join in making it slightly better, as much as i can, and with all that i can offer, but what i can't do is the continuous blame and criticism to the regime and the political situation, all my lamenting wont result in anything, that does'nt mean am happy with it!!! Not at all but i believe that change comes with work, organized group work, and individual work, All for one and one for all, indeed why not??

I browse blogs everyday that people are blaming lamenting and criticising and i do believe we need that so much, we need people to show us the flaws in our country, but don't you think that just criticising without offering solutions or even taking parts in those solutions is such a sad thing, that's making people loose hope in any beams of change?

I myself get really depressed and annoyed and believe me it never stirr the feelings of change as much as feelings of despair...

Ghandi said "Be the change that you want to see in the world" so this old quote we all know needs to be implemented....

Anyway, am just trying to avoid focusing on the flaws,and to take as the negatives as a pushing power to stirr winds of change inside of me , yes me!

Action,action,action, all we need is individuals taking actions on their own and believe me change is coming and it's soon:)

So, back to my campaign and my charity work and my projects for the neighbourhood (cleaning garbage yards) :D and so on, from time to time i stop working or thinking about that part of my life, but am so eager now to go back with all my strength....

My plans for this Mid-year vaccation is a visit to Sharm el-Sheikh wohooooooo am goin Sharm ohh god, it's the first time, am really ashamed of myself, that i went to London,Paris and Dubai , and never been to Sharm quite embarrassing lol

Wish u all a lovely winter, enjoy the cold, the rain,and the falling leaves, before it will be" Falling leaves , flowers bloom, winter's gone summer's soon" i change it between seasons hehhe...

Songs am listening to: Do you ever think of me by Antony Costa
My Soul pleads for you by Simon Webbe
i also recommend Moorea by Gypsy kings am suddenly obsessed with their music, the Spanish style they got is lovely:D

that's all for now, c u next time, take care lol. looks like am ending a program or something, i've written much today and i have no idea if anyone will be reading all these hallucinations !! Rabena ma3ako :D

Taj Mahal..

So, yea Taj Mahal...i love it, lately i've been obsessed by anything that's Asian actually, and i've always admired Taj Mahal, seriously it's just lovely:)

Situated in Agra (India) once the capital of the Mughal Empire in the 16th and early 18th century, Taj Mahal means "Crown Palace" one of the most beautiful architecturally preserved tombs in the world.

Described by the English poet sir Edwin Arnold " Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passions of an emperor’s love wrought in living stones." It is a celebration of a woman built in marble and that’s the way to appreciate it.

On the banks of river Yamuna, Taj Maha was built by the fifth Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his second wife Mumtaz Mahal which was a Muslim Persian princess .She died while accompanying her husband in Burhanpur in a campaign to crush a rebellion after giving birth to their 14th child. The death so crushed the emperor that all his hair and beard were said to have grown snow white in a few months.

When Mumtaz Mahal was still alive, she extracted four promises from the emperor: first, that he build the Taj; second, that he should marry again; third, that he be kind to their children; and fourth, that he visit the tomb on her death anniversary. He kept the first and second promises. Construction began in 1631 and was completed in 22 years. Twenty thousand people were deployed to work on it. The material was brought in from all over India and central Asia and it took a fleet of 1000 elephants to transport it to the site. It was designed by the Iranian architect Ustad Isa and it is best appreciated when the architecture and its adornments are linked to the passion that inspired it. It is a "symbol of eternal love".

As a tribute to a beautiful woman and as a monument for enduring love, the Taj reveals its subtleties when one visits it without being in a hurry. The rectangular base of Taj is in itself symbolic of the different sides from which to view a beautiful woman. The main gate is like a veil to a woman’s face which should be lifted delicately, gently and without haste on the wedding night. In Indian tradition the veil is lifted gently to reveal the beauty of the bride. As one stands inside the main gate of Taj, his eyes are directed to an arch which frames the Taj.

The colours change at different hours of the day and during different seasons. Like a jewel, the Taj sparkles in moonlight when the semi-precious stones inlaid into the white marble on the main mausoleum catch the glow of the moon. The Taj is pinkish in the morning, milky white in the evening and golden when the moon shines. These changes, they say, depict the different moods of women.

The Point is Taj Mahal expresses the devotion of a lover, and the sincerity of the man to his woman, i mean it's like a fairy tale but it was true...
I don't believe that now in This world we're living there's a man who would be so devoted to his woman while she's alive, what about after her death??

The symbol behind the Taj is so pure and sweet, it's the love that will never die, that will never end , that will stand still even facing death, with pride and sincerity..
The architect is like an obsession with women's nature, the veil the moods the colours and jewelry everything that's feminine everything she was...

Love is not words, not some lovely moments, it's a life time story The Taj expresses this in every single detail of love in the ultimate state of loyalty and passion, the sadness the Shah had for his lovely wife, gave him afterwards the power to build her the Taj, and to immortalize the love they shared...

I believe myself that such love is gone from our world, with every man thinking of himself and every woman is needy and spoiled, hard to find a couple sharing an enduring love and totally devoted to each other...

It wasn't a legendary fairy tale, it was for real, such man existed centuries ago, i know he wont exist again...as such passionate love became a story am telling now lol..

I dream of visiting India one day (along with other Asian countries tht i wanna visit ;) and when i do, i will visit Taj Mahal inshAllah, to witness the symbol of true love even in my life, maho mayb2ash mafeesh real love aw 7aga men re7to lol...

Taj Mahal, "a Tear drop in the cheeks of history" Rabindranath Tagore http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabindranath_Tagore

Talking about love while my throat is sore is not good, am really ill:( n i got one exam left inshAllah, and then the Last Mid year vaccation is here...! kol sana wne7na taybeen:)

Teddy on my Bed, sitting next to my pillow

Dearest ever, Teddy bear

We spent the most lovely days together dear remember? the day i got you on the 14Th of June? you were at the top of my cute box waiting to be kissed and hugged, you looked so cute dear, i cried when i saw you...
We shared lots of memories, and you were always between my arms and next to me on my bed, since i got u i didn't sleep alone...
Remember our trip to Alex? when i gave you that sun bath at the balcony? u enjoyed it so much, and my grandma liked u too;)
Remember when we went to Pousy on summer days, u were my company on such sad nights, when i used to hug u and cry, u used to comfort me with your soft fur and ur sweet little heart "someone special" and so u were to me...
You were born and made in China, bought from England and sent to Egypt...
I know you got tired dear, but i gave you so much pampering and cuddling...
remember when i took u lots of pics on my mobile, and showed them to everyone? remember when i used to whisper you every night before i sleep and tell you wt's worrying me, you were my connection to my soul somewhere in the other part of the world, or maybe i thought u were...
I loved you so much Teddy , and i still do...My bed without you looks cold and different, i just wished to keep you with me safely till i give u back...But not all we want happen Teddy dear..
Since i got you. you were always in my bags wherever i went, next to me wherever i slept, and in my heart if i ever left...
And you'll still be in my heart, but ...you gotta go back to your box, there's not point of you being next to me in bed, or in my hug at night...oh yea u also u used to like sitting with me on my rocking chair remember dear?
But, you have to go back, if it was for me i just want u near and dear as u've always been, but it's not a matter of choice Teddy...
I love u sooo much Teddy, right now you're on my lap for the last time, i'll give u your last kiss and "Big Hug" and then you shall sleep peacefully in the box again, till God only knows where will you finally settle...
Love u from all my heart...may you sleep peacefully and may be you'll witness another story somewhere...but for me the story just wrote it's End...
Bbye Teddy, love u 4ever..x

Yours Engy...

The Knight's Fantasy...

The sky was wearing it's black viel

Plane and wide like a starry field

I was lonely and sad

Crying so bad

Something came along and touched my hands

It was a breeze coming from another lands

Lands of Love,Care and Passion

I heared a harmony i know by heart

That was my knight he felt my sorrow

He came along and Filled the hollow

The hollow in my little heart no longer exits

He made it an ocean with morning mist

Candels and Roses, Honey and Horses

A fantasy i was living or chasing an illusion

No more conclusions

I opened my eyes, and felt sun rise

The knight left me and my nights

And inside my eyes it was the dream's lights

This thought is really dear to me, i wrote it when i was in high school, i was about 17 at the time, i don't have the original copy of it, i gave it 2 someone dear to me to keep it, i hope it's still there...

this thought was like a prediction, some of what i said happened to me, that shocked me later when i read it, anyway i changed some of the words i dont remember...and i still like it.

Dedicated to a Knight...

when i was young, i used to look at the stars and wonder how my life will be after many years...
I used to count the stars and ask myself what will those stars witness me doing in my life, i used to think of my life, my family, my job, my university, and never had a clear vision of my future, i just let it happen...

Days passed by, and my future came and what i've been wondering about became my everyday life..don't know if that was what i really wanted for myself...but i thank God on everything..

I met people i never thought i will, i made things that was a far fetched dream to me, when i was in school, i used to stay in my class in the break and look to the horizon in front of me and say one day i'll be free, i will be able to fly, go everywhere and do everything, but i will never loose myself, the one i admired and liked so much, from inside...

Looking back to my life then...it's really changed, what i never expected happened what i never wished for occurred..

I don't know if time went back ,what will i choose, but all i know that i don't have much regrets..
Time run fast..u barely catch your breath from one incident to other passing your life, and you never know what's next...You see minutes of your days dwindling in front of your eyes, cynically enough you do nothing about it...you just watch..

I miss that little girl, who used to dream for herself, for her country, for everything, when she used to look to the horizon and dream of a better tomorrow, when she used to laugh from her heart to cheer everyone around her, when she used to watch the Nile from her back seat in the car and feel she wanna hug it's shores dear to her heart...

She still got those dreams, but she doubts everything...

I miss little me....
