Abracadabra, Wow! 

I like boys who have a geekiness to them girls who have nice wavy hair

I like the sun

I like  Egyptian “winters”

I like my family

I like tanned skin and bright eyes.

I like soduku 

I like books

I like acceptance

I like studying J

I like laughing out loud and meaning it.

I like serenity

I like words

I love the world.

Today I got a phone call telling me I was hired.

In some ways, I love everything. Its less, its less of a thing to like, its less distinct, its less particular, I like things that I like but I love everything. There’s more choice in like, Cos even the worst things have things you love in them. I don’t know what you mean about things I hate…

I hate feeling trapped

I hate knowing that I have a lot of growing up to do

I hate having to work to be able to live…

I hate the “grown-up” world

I hate distances.
I hate that I need to get away from here but in a way, I also sort of really really really love it .

I hate not knowing how to write a manuscript.

I hate people who don’t love enough. 

I hate this, wow...

sorry

I enjoyed doing that! I got the government job. I start on Sunday. I need to do some commenting. I have even more family coming today!

Dear You,

here

You are a star. Please love, don't just live.

Love,

Sara

Lauren's fill in the blank Friday!

1.  If I had two hours to myself today, I'd  go to the gym.

2.  If I could travel anywhere today, I would go to   Paris   .

3.      I can't pinpoint what would be      (is) my happiest memory.

4.  Sometimes you're     living       other times you're     existing .

5.  Beauty is     everywhere- you only need to have the eyes to see/find it     .

6.  I would be embarassed if anyone knew    I haven't brushed my teeth yet   .

7.  Love at first sight is    a miracle that doesn't necessarily have to happen to you   .

I think that's the cutest thing ever! I have found that through Selma! Is everyone doing the Playgirls Guide to Radical Self Love Challenge? If not, you have to!!

What I have written on the first page of my book is;

This is for me to realize the divinity that resides within me, this is for me to realize that I, myself..my self, am enough. I am more than enough. I am extraordinary. And this is proof.. 

 Do it and let me know what you write?

That Place

So my friend Nader and I went to the book fair today and ended up buying loads of...stuff including 7 vintage national geographic magazines!

We were having that talk about things that make you nostalgic for a place/someone/feeling you love but you don't know. I don't know about him, but speaking for myself;

here

Certain forms of art make me yearn for that place that is only in my head...a place that I don't know...that has no form or location...it's just a place that I know is better.
A lot better for that matter.

here

A place where I know I am going to be happier, my eyes would shine with life and my face just bright with positivity. But that place could be sad, too- because sadness was never a bad thing...I don't think sadness is a bad thing. Samson by Regina Spektor sends me there. It makes me want something that I have no definition for. And songs by Fairuz...the way she sounds has that aspect of utopia to it. Same goes for Kundera's words and how he uses the perfect combination of words to beautifully paint a detailed picture.

here

I think it's in all forms of art that people try to communicate- or manifest- that place they dream of, or that feeling to the rest of the world. And they try to do that in a language or through a medium that the rest of the world is to understand- or at least try to.

here

If only we disregard all things material and rid ourselves of the attachment to all things mundane..if only we realize the divinity within us...it wouldn't be so hard to understand then- only then.

January List

Things I have done in January 2010 that I have never done before:

1. Saw a Tanoura show.
2. Visited Nader.
3. Blood test. (for potential job)
4. Went to Mogama' el Tahrir.
5. Met a blogger friend!!! Who is an amazing friend indeed!
6. abdominal ultrasound. (that same job)
7. Went inside the great pyramid.
8. Drove to the Giza Pyramids.

So yes, I might get the/a government job! And I am happy I had done all those things during what I had thought to be a very unproductive month!! Maybe set a target of ten new things during tiny February! What the? Why is it February already?

My mum's side of family is sort of having a reunion here in Cairo during the second week of February..and my sister turns 21 on the 21 which I think is SO FREAKING COOL! haha 21 on the 21! February is such a festive month! My mum's birthday, my sister's, Menna's, and a couple of more friends' birthdays. PLUS Valentine's- does anyone else think Valentine's is overrated?

How was your January?
