Cheer up =)

This post is a collection of things that cheer me up, if you ever feel depressed try one or two of them they might work =)....

  • Remember those days back when we used to have inboxes filled with colorful forwards? I got this one ten years ago, yes ten! And ever since it's been hanging in my room and always will. It's lovely give it a read
  • This oldie was played in my school reunion three years after we graduated. It was one happy day, it felt so good to be there again, and it felt even better to know that some of my teachers still remember me. They played the song while showing photos of us from KG to high school. It's a wonderful memory, but even if you don't have a memory connected to it. Once you here "Those were the Days" you'll remember your good old days =).

 

  • Milkshake! Nothing makes me feel happier. I'm sure no one needs a recipe, but just in case here are some 
  • Hallmark cards. As my favorite forward says, sending cards to people make you happy, but even if you have no reason to send someone a card, open Hallmark's website and take a look at the loveliness =).
  • Photos that hold good memories. Believe me, you won't be able to stop yourself from smiling at the photos.
  • Bubble baths. Well, maybe only if you're a girl =).
  • A good read. Reading cheers up any human being, because if you let yourself, a book will take you to a different world, fa away from yours. When you come back, you'll be full of energy, ready to enjoy yours again.
  • Playing with a puppy. Yes! They're our best friends, and best friends know best how to cheer us up =D.
  • Watching ballet. I'd rather watch it in the opera, but here's Swan Lake's Small Swans for now. Let the music take you away, watch how good they dance. It's heavenly, they really are swans :')

 
  • Chocolate. Nothing beats it, those who don't like chocolate (yes, they exist) are missing a lot.
  • Quotes about happiness. They're all over the web, but here's one of my favorites: "Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed."
  • Disney Characters quotes. I don't know about you, but I believe that these quotes are full of wisdom. This website has some.
  • Late night conversations with family, best friends, or a lover, this is so comforting. But sometimes we feel like we can't talk to anyone, that's when we need a different kind of conversation... keeping a diary.
  • Good memories, especially when shared with someone over a drink and a good laugh.
  • Remembering my favorite things, and everyone else's ;).
   

....And these are a few of my favorite things =)

The Legend of Osiris, Moral of the Legend

Image
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...
