Dear Diary, 'Sit Home & Spend The Day Online'

Dear Diary, Today was one of those ‘sit home and spend the day online’ days. I didn’t do much really, and what kept the whole ‘doing nothing’ act going on is the fact that I got sick and had to stay in bed instead of going out. That was a bummer! Though a lot of people think staying home is unbearable, I find it has a useful side to it! I mean, not only do I get a lot of time to work on things I need to get done, or practice a hobby that can be practiced in the comfort of my home, I get some time to myself. Just a moment to stand back and admire the road I have marched on and how far I have...

Love Knocks You Down yet Gives You a Hand ♥

“It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” Love Knocks You Down yet Gives You a Hand Love… What do we really know about it?! Such a powerful word can hardly be described and be given a meaning Letters filling my paper will never cut it It’s the widest of worlds out there and you’re still taking peeks from holes in the wall Watch out! The vision can get a little blurry Don’t look away, for some portraits will lead you astray That image out there have been painted by others A photograph taken in a life of utter pretending Love isn't that...

Graduation Speech

I'm pretty much awake and it's almost 1:00am - Everybody else at here is asleep so thought I'd post something. What you're about to read was my high school graduation speech; the one I never actually said. The administration chose someone "else"; someone that represented the school best; or so they think. And I never really stood up for it which from where I'm standing at the moment, looking back at that time, I kinda regret it. With the hope of having the opportunity to say another speech at my university graduation someday. Until then, enjoy reading what was never heard. We can finally...

Dear Diary, 1990's Cartoons

Dear Diary, Today, for some weird reason, I felt like reminiscing a part of my childhood. I had some free time so decided to watch a movie. It was Lion King, in fact I watched the sequel when I was done with the first one! Their's just something about old Disney films that made our childhoods worth it. I mean, now a days, cartoon is different and not in a good way. What happened to the spark that was found in Walt Disney classics! It was never just another cartoon to watch to pass the time! It was the characters, the stories and of course the amazing sound tracks! They had it all; an...

Dear Diary, "Always Leave Them Wanting More"

Dear Diary, It's been a while since I last posted! Not quite sure of the date, but sure feels like it! I guess this is what happens when you get caught up in life and it seems that you never find the time to log in and post something. But then again, it's always nice to take a break in a way that keeps readers longing for your next post. I'm not really sure about who's out there reading this, but still! =)  And as they say "Always leave them wanting more" - That's a really powerful quote and it relates 100% to human reaction. If you think about it, we always seek for what we...

Technology Bluffin'

Couple of steps forward and there I was on the platform of surrender; for my dear friend, I gave up once. After roaming this world and being star-struck by its mighty power and the thrown it settled on, I thought I’ll never talk again for it left me speechless. But, what was mostly breath taking was the crown above. So precious and priceless, seemed the world was nothing without it; and it was technology. My sign became vital and was on my knees looking for the answer. For technology could be on our side, but can even bluff us as it raises the bars. What was once a shield to protect...

Dear Diary, I'm More Than A Piece Of Coal

Dear Diary, Sometimes I wonder if I made a good choice when I decided to study engineering... I mean, did I really walk in the right path?? Don't get me wrong, I love studying to be an engineer; an industrial engineer to be specific but, I don't want to stop here. I have sooo many skills I have always wanted to invest in and sharpen them. I feel like I'm a piece of coal desperately trying to be something more and become something bigger. Growing up and walking this path - the whole studying to be an engineer - wasn't my only choice. It's typical jobs like...

Dear Diary, Sharing Old Poems

Dear Diary, Today, a friend came up to me and brought up some old poems I wrote couple of years back. I almost forgot about them. I had them published as notes on Facebook about three or four years ago; and that's how he knew that I had a whole new side of me behind that engineer he knew around campus. I think I've grown over the years and my points of view have definitely broadened. I no longer have the same style as before. Maybe you'll witness a glimpse of me, but I with no doubt have changed. I've always loved to write and express my feelings in words, but I've truly wanted...

Dear Diary, Change

Dear Diary, The other day I woke up to find the house all to myself; yet, at around 9:00am in the morning, there isn't really much to do. I went into the living room, sat on the sofa and starting flipping channels. Click, click, click...  I don't usually find something that interests me easily and most days I stick to certain channels I'm accustomed to. But for some reason, I found myself pausing my clicks and watching a movie; which by how the houses looked, what people dressed and how they talked, I could tell it meant that the event occurred in 1960's. After...

Bullets & Arrows ➶

I'm tired, all burnt out and decaying with every passing minute Word by word their blowing out the fire ignited inside of me Taking pleasure in destroying the spark I worked on for so long Locked in a dungeon with no way out; forced to listen to what they had to say Like poison poured in my cup while I turn away Back stabbed and locked behind bars; circled like a prey Haunted down; I have come face to face with my slayers Slaughtering me and peeling my skin slowly For they have lead me astray off my path Lost direction, lost my way, but most of all, lost myself Prisoner in mind and thought......

Energy Fair 2012

Dead Diary, Today, I attended something called Energy Fair that was held at Beil (Lebanon-Beirut). It was pretty amazing. I mean just imagine meters and meters of people who came together just to show what they have to the world! Innovation, creativity and breath taking ideas that simply blew our minds and introduced us to an infinite world of practical art, machines, and products. The work those people have done was amazing! A lot of projects stood out in terms of appearance while others had high effective and efficient usages! Some pictures I took: Bags that can charge your cellphone, laptop...

Dear Diary, Summer Is Here ☼

Dear Diary, Yesterday was my last final exam and today, with no further introduction, I officially start my 2012 summer! For the first time in a very long time, I'm actually excited about "summer"! To many, it might have been that time of the year where they can finally kick back, relax and enjoy some time off to clear their minds. But, not me... For as long as I can remember, I have been spending my summer in a house we own outside the city. I've hated it! I mean, the area there is almost dead! Feels like time stops just inside that house and that region while every where else people are moving...
