Where should I start, I have a lot in mind… I have so many thing i want to yalk about…

Let me start from last night… my brother’s friend had an accident right in front of our house at 1:30am, he was dropping my brother when a huge speeding car came from no where and hit the poor guy really hard, they had to tow the car, its nothing but a piece of junk right now, we were scared to death, thank god they made it alive, they are both fine, it was a crazy night. 

So I didn’t sleep last night, I haven’t been sleeping for while, I don’t usually sleep that much, in some how, I can go through my day fully energized with 3 or 4 hours of sleep, I’ve been like this for years, 3 hours of sleep a night for weeks is totally fine for me, but this week I was really tiered, and I really want to sleep, but I can’t.

 After being in a bad mood for the night, I got a phone call from my dad telling me that there is a 90% chance for me to cancel my trip to Jordan in March… what? But why? Ok we’ll talk about this later. Now that put me in a really bad mood… 

Later on, my friend stopped by to take me with her to the pharmacy, she needs to get her daughters some meds, they both have cold, fever, coughing, poor babies, they are sick.On the way, she told me a story about a friend of ours, she got divorce FOR THE SECOND TIME, and when I asked why? The answer was  

–NASEEB…. 

And that’s when I blew up 

-What??? NAEESB??? What are you talking about?? she had some concerns about this guys even before marrying him, and later, she divorces him for the same reasonss she had problem with?????? this is not NASEEB, THIS IS STUPID, this is another BAD CHOICE she made, and you are telling me NASEEB…

-Mai, every thing in our life is Naseeb, god only know what’s going to happen to us. 

-What on earth are you talking about? Naseeb is when someone dies, when someone gets cancer, when something happens out of your control, not when you make bad choices and you treat your self by saying Naseeb!!! She had issues with the guy before marrying him, and when I asked her why she is going to do. Her answer was so simple “I will try to change him when we get married, some men are like that”… what??? You don’t marry someone because you think he will change!! How can I love someone and want to marry him and at the same time think about changing him??? Seriously!!! 

_Ok, why are you so mad? Calm down. 

-You know what. I want to go home. 

We went back home, I had a friend of mine waiting for me over there, picked her up, and went to another friend’s house to have some hookah since it’s Saturday and we are all off the next day. 

I got a phone call from a friend, and OH MY GOD, girls can be extremely silly, every 2 minutes they would disturb my call by doing STUPID things, I don’t understand, why are you doing this again? What are you trying to show exactly? You don’t really miss me that you can’t wait for me to finish my phone call, and you don’t act like that usually, so what’s that???

Any way, I had to finish my call in an impolite way which made me really mad, surprisingly I controlled my self from getting mad at them, because I’ve never been good at getting mad at people, I don’t know why, I guess that’s just me. 

I tried to have some fun, the hookah is just delicious, and the music is on, the girls were saying jokes all the time, I actually had fun.

I called my friend later on to apologies for the stupid incident, I hate doing that to people, it’s just weird, and I’m not used to it. 

I’m done with my crazy talk… I hope tomorrow will be a better day.

You so cruelly let her go and turned your back on her and what you had shared together.

So why does she still care? 

You have punished her for loving you, for standing by you, for having faith in you and in you.

So why does she still care? 

You have turned what were very pleasant memories for her into a nightmare of doubt by relegating them to the past as, “having a few laughs”.

So why does she still care? 

You have taken her best friend, her confidant, her lover away from her.

So why does she still care? 

She wishes she knew… but for you, about you

She still cares.

This is a very interesting interview of Bill Gates with the awesome Jon Stewart.

Jon was asking Bill Gates:

Whats F12 button for? LOL  i don’t know, do u? :)

Enjoy the interview ;)

Savor each moment presented to you.

Make certain you’ve taken the time to watch the sun both rise and set, and have allowed yourself a moment to enjoy the night light’s, game of hide, and seek as the moon and stars peep out of the darkness. 

Stop to appreciate the new blossom on a flower as its beauty unfolds and colors the earth. 

Be silent and listen to the songs of nature as they greet you. Learn that music of the birds and creatures around us are a gift of mother earth. 

Smile at the people about you. Be aware that none of us exists within a vacuum and that who we are, what we do and what we say will have an impact on someone every single day.

Not knowing the who or when doesn’t mean it does not happen. 

Learn that what is bad passes as swiftly as we believe does what is good, and that holding on to unpleasant memories even after the trying moments have faded, only prolongs the pain and postpones the healing.Learn to forgive, even when it’s difficult to forget, and let it go. In the end your peace will be much more real and lasting. 

Search until you find something good about everyone you come in contact with during your day.It becomes easier with time and practice and soon you’ll see the positive in each person long before you find their faults. And somehow the weaknesses, even in yourself, will seem not so great. 

Take a moment, even when there is none, to listen to the voice that speaks within you. Let it guide you towards your center and point you towards your future. 

Learn to like who you are. We are none without our bad points, but don’t allow yourself to focus only on those. Without day, there would be no night. Without cold, there would be no warmth.Without both the good and the bad in each of us, we would exist only as an image and not a real person. Allow yourself to be human. An ever evolving person, but one with many facets. 

Love fully.

Love freely.

And never regret the emotion.It is the most fragile, yet is the strongest; of the threads that weaves man’s heart.

And, you’ve heard this before, never put it off. Never fail to tell someone special in your life that they are appreciated. It may not need to be said, but how gracefully if falls on the ears anyway, and how fully it embraces and warms the heart.

“The love of grandparents and grandchildren is often incredibly pure and powerful. I’ve noticed that most children who have known their grandparents grow up loving older people. They are like kittens that have been gentled and have learned to love humans.

I was talking to a friend, he was telling me how he grew up with his grandmother in the house with them, how great was that, he also told me how some people hate having one of the grandparents with them in the house… Weird!!

Children who haven’t had that privilege often regard older people as scary or, at best, irrelevant.

Believe me.. they have no idea what they are missing.

Grandparents provide gifts of caring, heritage, knowledge, self-worth, example, growing old gracefully, change, hope, happy memories and the gift of love and acceptance.

The life experience of being a grandparent often includes spending time with grandchildren. It is common to see grandparents and grandchildren together as many grandparents participate in their grandchildren’s activities and events. Some grandparents provide daily care for their grandchildren while some may be raising them on a full-time basis.

Being a grandparent is an exciting role that provides opportunities for creating lasting relationships that benefit both the grandparent and grandchild.

There is research evidence to document that caring adults can make a difference in children’s lives. Grandparents can be the caring adults who believe in their grandchildren and help them believe in themselves.

Grand parenting is a life state that most older adults will have the opportunity to experience. In fact, many will be great or great-great grandparents.

As a grandparent, they will have a variety of roles with their grandchildren, depending on how involved they will be with their grandchild and how they view disciplining of their grandchildren.

Regardless of the role they have with their grandchild, they will share their knowledge and wisdom.

The relationship between a grandchild and grandparent is a special bond which benefits them both.

Sometimes, the family is sharing the grandparents’ house and sometimes the grandparent moves into the family’s house or apartment. Maybe your grandmother moved in with your family because she was having trouble living alone. Or maybe your grandparents take care of you in place of your mom or dad.

Being a grandparent is a big job, but grandparents have a lot of experience. They raised and cared for your parent when he or she was a kid! And grandparents have been the heads of households since the beginning of time. In our culture- grandparents are looked up to as a source of wisdom.

I can’t imagine how some people can hate having an elderly person like the grandparents in the house, or even hate taking care of them.. I was blessed at the time I had the chance to take care of my grandmother, I couldn’t be any happier, I used to have the whole world in my hands when she used to tell me (Allah Yerda 3aleaki Ya Setti)… Teata… Allah Ytawel 3omrek ya Rab…

“I was the one who dumped him”, “I’m the one who left him”, “I’m a heartbreaker, nobody breaks my heart”, “when ever u feel he will leave, dump him right away”, “don’t let him be the one who leaves you”…Etc, words I’ve been hearing from girls lately, it just drives me crazy.

Whenever the girl is the one who left the guy, its ok, its her right to do so, and above all that he is suppose to try to win her back, but god help him if he was the one who dumped her because it didn’t workout for whatever reason, she will have nothing but hate towards him, he will be the worst guy on earth, he will be the one who never respects women, he deserves nothing but hate and disrespect.

Today I’ve heard a new trick that girls are following; “I’m going to win him back and after that I’m going to get revenge by dumping him this time”!!!!

Now to make it clear, I’m not against women, and I’m not defending guys, and girls, I’m with you all the way, but the truth is.. I can’t, not this time, really, it’s too much.

I’m not saying that guys don’t do that too, maybe they do, but I see it between girls more often, they get really upset when a guys leaves them instead of them leaving the guy, they get upset about that more than the fact they actually broke up.

I totally understand that it always hurts when we are told that the special someone in our life no longer wants o be with us, as it is hard to put an end to a relationship. It is the end of the world right? After you have been going out with someone for a while, even a short period of time, it hurts when they no longer feel the same way about you, as you do about them. A knife into your heart would hurt much less than this loss? And you think that no one would ever understand your pain?

 But can we please start dealing this as mature people, and stop being so narrow minded about it? Can we try to learn how to have healthy breakups? Can we try not to talk bad about our ex-partner behind their back and making them look like they are the worst people on earth? Can we try to LET GO and move on without making a big deal about who left who?

We all want the perfect everlasting relationship, but sometimes; relationships comes to an end, for what ever reason, it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, and doesn’t mean its your fault, things just happens, and life goes on.

My Dad is not an emotional guy. We can’t seem to actually get out the words “I love you”. Over the years at different times I have wanted to be one of those families that were free with their emotions. As I get older however, I realize that though we may not speak those words we show them in countless ways.

I was 18 when I had my first fall down, my dad had known this but let me ride with it, knowing I would rebel any way, I know that the family vacation they planned right when I had that fall down wasn’t a coincidence. We didn’t speak about my pain but I felt safe and was able to bounce back from the experience by the time the vacation was over.

When I finished my education in Jordan and moved to USA after my whole family moved before me, my dad was there for me again, he cosigned for my first car. Some would think this isn’t a big deal. It’s just a car, but I think he knew it was a new start for me. A symbol of getting on with my life.

I have learned over the years that love is sometimes unspoken. Love’s actions can speak louder than words. Unconditional love is often simple and unassuming. When you think about the men in your life, don’t think about the words they have spoken, but remember the love they have shown you in what they do and who they are.
