I'm changing my OLD Nokia 3001 I had for 5 years now.. though it's hard for me to do it, but its enough for me.. lately it drove me crazy. anyway, I was empying it from saved msgs..

Quotations in english, quotations in arabic, greetings, VIP, Da3wat (Prayers), jokes... sounds funny! and I found this particular msg I sent in 4/8/2006 to Maya, one... [read more]

A book of 611 high-quality pages, a red page cover (not the same as the original, too bad).. and in nice arabic font print. why? I felt like reading Orhan Bamuk now, his books occupy your... [read more]

Yesterday I was invited by my fiance's family out for dinner with my family.. We went to "Kapolski" a new restaurant that just opened in town.. The building looked very nice and the food looked and tasted great. The evening was just amazing with the two families sitting together and talking, it was fun.. What was really funny, and this is my point here, is that everyone who entered the rest. said... [read more]

a great book by Mitch Albom .. very recommended! easy language, direct, funny, smooth and a book that keeps running into your head even after finishing it.. I found it so similar to "The Prophet" by Giban Khalil Gibran , I mean the idea.. it is about love, life, aging, work, and other issues.. very nice book. I enjoyed it. My next book? ..mmmm..... I feel like reading in Arabic now... [read more]

I wrote this by the end of the first month after we met .. I would like to share that feeling.. though a lot happened lately and I wrote you many "poems" but this has the taste of the first sip of a good quality coffee :)   تأتي ضاحكا وعيناك تلمعان حضورك يغمرني ببساطة ما راحة ما تتغلغل الى نفسي رغم تعب الايام تسرقني من مساءاتي الى حيث انت تزرع في وجهي ابتسامة تبقيني الى جانبك   وها... [read more]

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary; When troubles come and my heart burdened be; Then, I am still and wait here in the silence, Until you come and sit awhile with me. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains; You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas; I am strong, when I am on your shoulders; You raise me up... to more than I can be. There is no life - no life without its hunger; Each... [read more]

وشمس تغرب في الافق تمحي اثار اليوم تحيل الصفار احمرارا مثيرا للبكاء بجمالية لا حدود لها تصفعني تنتزع مني تعبي وتلقيه ارضا، تداعب قلبي تدفعه بكل اختلاجاته الى حيث انت.   اقود سيارتي اسافر عبر الوقت والمكان اقطع المسافات بيننا اقف على عتبة قلبك تغمرني رائحة الالفة والطمأنينة احملها معي واغادرك.   يمسك قلبي الهاتف يرفعه الى حيث ينبض يود لو يحكي قصته لو يهدأ قليلا على راحة صوتك لكن... [read more]

A lyrics written by the famous Ahlam Mostighanmy.. a great song to hear to:   لفرط ما كتبتني كتبتني باليد التي أزهرت في ربيعك  بالقُبلات التي كنتَ صيفها بالورق اليابس الذي بعثره خريفك بالثلج الذي صوبَكَ سرتُ على ناره حافية بالأثواب التي تنتظر مواعيدها بالمواعيد التي تنتظر عشّاقها بالعشّاق الذين أضاعوا حقائب الصبر بالطائرات التي لا توقيت لإقلاعها بالمطارات التي كنتَ أبجديّة بواباتها بالبوابات... [read more]
