The Sweetest of Memories

25.05.2009....
One year has passed, one whole year!!
This wonderful day, an unforgettable day, a day that comes once in a lifetime. We were the stars that day, and by we, I mean GUC's class 09. It was like we had paparazzi cameras all around us, a day full of smiles and laughter. A day full of memories, memories of five years, five years that have flown by and without us even knowing. They're bittersweet memories that will last a lifetime. Those memories, the memories of our photo-shoot, will forever be carved in my heart. They're memories of an amazing day, a day to treasure. 

I owe a lot to my beloved GUC, I am who I am today because of the GUC. It's made a better person out of me, a hard-worker, an independent, strong, well educated person. I've learned a lot in these five years, I've enjoyed them at times, hated my life at other times, but all in all, I know that this decision was the best I've ever made in my life.  That day, is one of the many many things I owe to this wonderful place. The GUC administration drove us crazy at many times, but this event made me forget all the bad situations we had to go through because of them.

Spending a whole day of taking pictures in the GUC gardens with the nicest of friends was good. What was even better, was the celebrations, looking around and seeing everyone happy for us, celebrating with us. Taking pictures with our faculty members, with Prof Slim, with the T.A.s, all of them happy for us, proud of us was just amazing.  It's such a sweet sweet memory, I still remember the sounds of laughter, shouting and camera shutters......

Today, I'm just so glad that I'm still in my beloved GUC, that I'm still friends with the same people that made this photo-shoot as special as it was. I'm glad that I'm still seeing people as excited about graduating as we once were, that I still can see as many happy faces as I once saw during our celebrations. I'm glad to be in place that reminds me of the best days of my life, the place were we laughed so hard even during the worst times. I'm so happy for being part of this photo-shoot. I'm so so proud to be a GUCian, so glad to have made the right choice. 

I owe a thank you to the GUC administration, to the ushers, the photographers, our staff, to the GUC gardens and buildings, the security guards, and every single person who works in the GUC. They all deserve a big thank you for celebrating with us, for making better people out of us. For torturing us for our own good, at least most of the time =).  For making me proud of who I am, for giving me the chance to know people that I'm lucky to have known. For giving us the chance to learn and enjoy learning (again, at least most of the times=D), for making the memory of these five years that good....

The Legend of Osiris, Moral of the Legend

First let me say that most of the extraction of lessons in this post isn't done by me, but by the person who has opened my eyes to the beautiful myth. Yet I also have to say that when I did my own research, and read it from different sources, I found even more lessons to learn. And that's the beauty of it, with every time you read it you learn something new. So to the moral of the Myth of Osiris.... It's clear that the fight between Horus and Seth is a fight between good and evil, between what's rightful and what's wrong, between what's true and what's fake. Horus had an intelligent mind that lead him to fight for the truth. Seth had an intellect mind that made him able to give excuses for his helpers, to brainwash them, or to give them fake reason to fight his fake war. Horus, with the wisdom of his mother and a father who holds the truth had the sharp vision of a hawk. But what is vision to our ancestors? What is the eye of Horus? What does it stand for...

Egypt Uprising 2013: One Last Push

June 29, 2013 Tamarod Tamarod (Rebel), the public movement that has been collecting signatures for the past two months to call for early presidential elections with the aim of finding a legal way to topple President Mohamed Morsi, announced the final signature count in a press conference this morning. The number announced was 22,134,465 signatures. Mahmoud Badr, the movement's founder, made a call for more than 22 million people to join the protests tomorrow and stay in the streets until they bring Morsi down. He also announced that the president's legitimacy has fallen after they've collected a number of signatures th at is more than 85% of the number of voters in the presidential elections. Badr answered those who question the number by demanding early elections, saying that this was the only way to prove the accuracy of either of their numbers. The announcement was met with celebratory reactions among many Egyptians...   Support Since April 6 movement...

Who Voted for Shafiq?

After standing in a line with the Heliopolis ladies who were mostly voting for Shafiq, I came back home wondering why would anyone do such thing? The most popular answer I got from the ladies was in fear of Ikhwan. Knowing that the percentage of Christians here is more than in other places, and knowing that us, the ladies of Heliopolis, can never live the life of Ikhwan with what Azza El Garf says about FGM and sexual harassment laws, with forcing us to wear or not wear something (even the veiled of us), with having men control our lives, with having someone control our religious practices it makes sense to be against Ikhwan. And being one of those ladies, I too am against Ikhwan and anyone who mixes religion with politics. Now this takes out Morsy (although I know a few who voted for him), and maybe Abo El Fotooh for some. So then I asked why not Sabahy? And they were all against him because of being a Nasserist because they're families were put under great harm because of nationa...
