I Know I'm Not Over You

I know I’m not over you… When I constantly check my phone waiting for you to text me When we go out, try something new and I pretend to like green-tea When I do my hair only to get your attention When I take some of the blame just to join you in detention When I put on a dress and uncomfortable pair of heels When we skip class to hang out, spend the day together and share meals When you say you want to talk late at night and I fight to stay awake When it takes me seconds to forgive you for a mistake When I make excuses about how I couldn’t find someone and ask you out...

Cheers To Ancient Times

Like a lightning bolt; striking me... Sending a chill down my spine Should’ve known you were forbidden… The creation of heavens; Mr. Divine So evident and transparent to the mind that you’ll never be mine I have given up; bowed, taken my hat off and resigned Should have been aware and alerted to every clue and sign Have ached for so long… Kept going back not once, twice, but nine Drank poison as I raised my glass to the sky, mislead, assuming it was wine Pretending to know it all, being part of your future… But I’m no Einstein A story of longing and surrendering… Of love and pain...

Beast In Disguise

Looking back at a story that never should’ve been written A book that was better off on some shelf beyond reach From a fair maiden swept off her feet by so called Mr. Right To Cinderella, yet before the “Bibidi Babidi Bo” Tossing rocks at my window, texting all through the night Talking about our future together; house, cars and a cat named Mil...

Social Media Officer @ Aie Serve

Well, it's official!! I'm now the Social Media Officer at Aie Serve!  A few weeks back, the position of Social Media Offier at Aie Serve was open and I directly applied for it. I was thrilled about my acceptance yet a little nervous and worried about it. I didn't want to let anyone down or not rise up to the challenge. But so far, it's been great - Still trying to manage everything. At first, I had to go over the history of Aie Serve posts so that I'd maintain the same post characteristics and type of writing. And about every Sunday, I check the Aie Serve calender and send a report for...

The Reason for Who I Am Today

I was asked to write an essay about a living leader who has inspired me... Here's what I had to say: The Reason for Who I Am Today It had been a long time with my hands on that window pane, staring at the world outside. The universe had been white and black for so long that I stopped sensing colors; bleached from all that was good and hopeful. Fell into the rabbit hole and was in wonderland; lost perception and voice of reason. Fought to stay because why face the world?? Why stand eye to eye with what’ll stab me in the back and get me on my knees?? Just when I thought hope was snuffed...

Dear Diary, University Has Started

Dear Diary, So, summer is officially over. It's university all over again and this year, it's going to be a hell of a ride. It's only been day one and I'm a bit worried. I'm a little troubled, but it's only cause I have a lot of things on my plate at the moment and I'm just trying to balance it all out.  Other than the fact that my schedule is a total mess and all over the place, it's pretty smooth so far. The only thing I'm worried about is the fact that my university is about forty minutes away and I finish every single day at around 4:00pm, if not, it's 7:00pm -_- I keep hoping that...

If I Had My Life To Live Over

If I Had My Life To Live Over - By Erma Bombeck (Written after she found out she was dying from cancer). I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded. I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire...

The thing is, I started this whole writing idea for myself. I needed an escape, and I never knew it would be into the world of alphabets and certainly not an online blog!

Fight For Your Presence

It’s at that moment, when the lights are all turned out and you crawl into bed. When you lie there with thoughts creeping from the back of your mind; rising to the surface. It’ll either make you or break you… A little bruised, slightly broken, and sighing as you retrieve moments and memories. Wondering whether to rest your head on your pillow and surrender to the comfort of this place, or if it’s worth waking up once more and going into battle the next day. But aren’t you still standing?! Perhaps slightly scarred; but what’s sunshine without a little rain?? And what’s a journey without...

UNAVOIDABLE LAWS -

Read this somewhere and it's pretty funny... Hope you enjoy it! =) These are the unavoidable laws of the natural universe... 1. Law of Mechanical Repair: After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch or you will have to pee.  2. Law of the Workshop: Any tool, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible corner.  3. Law of probability: The probability of ‘being watched’ is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.  4. Law of the Telephone: When you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal.  5. Law of the Alibi: If you tell the...

Sawa Ahla Group

Today, I felt like sharing a bit about an NGO that have recently got my attention; Sawa Ahla Group. I think it's for a really good cause and we do need such work in our community. The people who have founded it are so giving and committed to what they do; I do believe they'd get a lot of great work done. I think a lot of people go on in this existence and get so taken with what's happening in their lives, instead of taking a little time to look around. Life isn't all rainbows and sunshine, not even half of it. Just because your life have went smooth and all, doesn't mean others...

Check Mate ♛

What if the ‘Happily Ever After’ isn’t so happy after all? Life is never a fairytale; those are no more than words written by dreamers What if Cinderella never made it to the ball? Sometimes the glass slippers don’t match; just a myth exchanged between readers What if ‘Never Land’ didn’t exist and you had to grow up? We can’t always fly “second to the right and then straight on till morning” What if Alice never stood up for herself and was lost in the universe swap? Sometimes we lose ourselves as we tend to fall down the rabbit hole with no warning And what if I told you...

Search For Your Heart ♥ - Part II

I didn't have a hole in my shoe, but I had one in my soul and in the reality I was living - the lack of satisfaction. I didn't starve for food; my hunger was even worse - I was being eaten inside out just because I never appreciated those little food crumbles, didn't want to eat my vegetables and refused to finish my plate. I didn't have a torn shirt, but I wasn't being the right person in what I had on either... Those watches, shoes and fancy clothes; meals and restaurants. Those do not set the person I am. Those do not give me an identity...

Search For Your Heart ♥ - Part I

( Inspired from 'Be The Change' Volunteering Event - Mentioned in the previous post ) Those innocent smiles on their pure faces. Those sparkles in their eyes that shined with hope They're not aware of it, but they reached out for me, lend me a hand and threw down a rope From falling in a well of utter materialistic interests and zombie like life, to having a clear vision of what's out there not just a vague corrupted site From worrying about not buying that shoes or bag, to seeing kids running around in clothes that God knows how old, but they’re alright They might...

Dear Diary, 'Be The Change' Volunteering

Dear Diary, Couple of days ago, I volunteered in an organization called ‘Be The Change’. I’m not much familiar with their work or activities, but I knew from Facebook that they were doing an event for orphans. At first I didn’t pay a lot of attention, but then I heard that one of my best friends was going and she encouraged me to attend it together and go through this experience. Eventually, I did go. I was a bit excited since it was my first time volunteering for orphans. It was pretty much a meal (Iftar), and of course it included before that activities and letting the kids...

Dear Diary, Photography Training

Dear Diary, A couple of weeks ago I submitted an application to gain several skills. One of this skills I applied to was photography which I got accepted to attend, and yesterday the workshop took place. The training was held at August 4 in Beirut at Zico House with Saad El Kurdi as our trainer.  I was suppose to be there at 10am, but clueless me didn't pay much attention to the location and got late due to discovering so after heading toward a completely different site. After finally arriving there, I was glad they haven't started yet. Definitely learned to read an...

يا من صنع من تراب

قد تكون ملك ذو عرش وقوة أو شخص ذات مقام ويعتبر قدوة  قد تملك أراضي لا تستطيع عينك من دلالت بدايتها ولا نهايتها تبتاع ما تشتهيه نفسك... مالك الأموال والغنائم على اشكالها  ولكن أنت يا عبد يا مأمور، ألا تدري أنك مجرد روح ترجع إلى خالقها في يومٍ من الأيام وتترك كل ما في هذه الدنيا من سلطة و ذهب و فضة.  فانحني و ودع هذا الغرور وحبك للماديات لأنها لن تدوم كثيراً؛ وأنت كذلك.  يا من صنع من تراب، الى تعلم أنك لست سوى رقم بين ألوف يماثلونك، وفرد بين هذي الشعوب،  و نطفة بين عالم كان كبره لا يقاس؛ غمئه البحار وارتفاعه السموات وما تلاها من فضاء...؟؟ يا...

Don't Judge Me

Don’t judge me because I can’t afford the things you do, buy the same brands at those fancy stores of yours, and dine in a five star restaurant. Don’t judge me all cause I made other choices, sinned differently, and didn't match your vision of what’s perfect. Don’t judge me until you have walked a mile in my shoes, lived a day in my life, and went through the things that I have... Don’t judge me just because I’m different...

Live With No Regrets

Life is too short to worry about all those around you who are waiting for you to mess up, slip and fall.  Let them listen to you as you talk in a different language, talk even though you have a diverse accent. Let them watch as you laugh as hard as you can, laugh till you feel like peeing in your pants, laugh and actually pee in your pants! Scream as loud as you can, scream till your mouth runs dry.  Dance even though you have two left feet, dance like there is no one there to judge. Sing like you have the voice of a rock-star, jump down the stairs, and dye your hair...
