SOMETHING

Coming today, I am thinking. Well, I guess I will just focus on making money. Hope it is soothing enough.

More money to enjoy. To live better. To be free.

I tried many things that i thought would have helped me feel good, but nothing really worked. Lots of disappointments. The only thing that proved important is to be on your own. And money facilitates your path along this way. And I chose that path.

Another today, I came thinking that I will secure enough money to do what I want and work the way I want. From my small house in fayd, or city apartment in zamalek, or small studio in new cairo overlooking new AUC campus.

Its was a very hard decision for me to take too, whether to have my own business or work for a big company, i chose the later. I think its stable, less stressing, rather than running ur own business and dealing with all difficulties on ur own, and be responsible for people u have hired and possibly their families.

I wish you good luck with your "something" and success.

Have u seen Schindler's List? a movie? When Schindler was starting his business he said that someone told him that having a good accountant is a must have thing. But you seem to be an accountant yourself, or at least a finance person, so i think u simply need to start earning money :)) U go girl!!!!

Interesting!

But I am not starting my own company. What I meant was to direct all my forces to make money, to be my main target and thus.... compromise! :)

Dont tell me you try to earn more money in order to compomise? If someone will accept ur compromises for the amount u have on ur bank account, then it doesnt even worth starting all compromise story and EVEN considering.

Compromise should be compromise like in a old books about Compromise :))


Reality is that u do need money if u dont want to compromise and just want to entertain urself, live better, be free.

We all want to compromise at the end, no matter how bitchie we are ;) So i wish you that, before its late.

ISLAMIC SHOP

Never thought I was going to enter this islamic store, or so does everyone call it in the area. Al-tawheed we al-Nour. It was quite an experience. I am heading to France this week so M. asked me for hunting pants that she can wear under her cloths in winter. She wanted them in pure cotton, and pointed me to this tawheed place. So, there I went. Upon entering the place, I thought I was transformed into this new world. A hive, except it is a lazy one. Only crowded. All the sellers are men with the praying sign on their forehead, some with long beards, the plupart majority wearing greyish short pants and weird colour shirts. You can't miss but feel that they all look the same. Of course, the sound of 'iza'et el coran al kareem' was screaming everywhere. Coran, ahadeeth, preaching, all what you want. So I headed to the women section, expecting the sellers to be women. Veiled women. Munaqaba women. Whatever. It is women section for god's sake. Never expected a man to s

WISH

...i would say how much i miss this presence in my life and situation. But I can't. ...i would say how many times i space out with my thinking in many situation and know that it would be different had this presence been here. But it is high expectation. ...i would have a home to go back to, feel supported and secured in the midst of any day-to-day encounters... knowing I have someone with him i shed off all my masks and knows me well without explaining. But proves impossible. ...i would play and giggle. dream and plan. progress and move steadily. according to god's plan and orders. soul level. supported by this presence. But it is hard. ...we would talk and talk. discuss and discuss. learn and unlearn. teach and receive. smile in awe. in appreciation. of one another's opinion and sharing. But is never attained. ...we would share share share. listen listen listen. understand and empathize. contain and hug to rest and include. silently affirm and invite to a safe shore to cry

CAN IT BE

I was reading Atallah's when I found these words. انا لا أشكو، ففى الشكوى إنحناء و أنا نبض عروقى كبرياء by Kamel el-Shinawy. Can one really live without complaining? I don't know if we can do that. Someone always tells me that you should know exactly where to direct your complains. Don't waste your time asking homage from the servants, go to the owner. Go directly to the source. He would know how to help, otherwise it is a waste of time. I agreed back then, but still had problems. Now I don't agree, and still have the same problems. I tend to conclude that these problems are my destined luggage that I need to get rid of but they are deeply rooted in me. I had to take a dive down. And yes, there is Boss, who isn't really a Boss. P.S. Some of the comments exchanged down here are meant to be funny. Nothing personal. Please continue with the discussion. My pleasure.
