Judging the air...

I was not in hallucinating when I said this word… “Judging the air”… I meant what I said…

It was truly what is happening with all of us… people just LOVE to JUDGE others… crave for it… without knowing the truth about them… just being judgmental… as if they are “gods”... who never do mistakes…

People judge you because “simply” they cannot be you… they wish but they cannot… they try but they fail… so the simplest thing for them is to criticize and judge you… condemn you “guilty as charged”… to hang you for the smallest mistake… or for what they consider a mistake in their point of view…

They might even judge the air… judge anything that moves around them…. But they never think of taking a deep breath, check themselves and what they are doing.... or what they will be doing if they were put in the same situation as the other judged person…
I can say it’s a disease… disease of acting “gods” and assessing others….
If we really think of it from a different view… if we just stop, take our time and then see the truth about everything… if we really care.. or just judging the air…

Until the next blog…

Sadness and Sorrow

I AM SAD… ANGRY and FEEL SORRY….

I am sad because of unfair life… that makes us slaves to our needs… then suddenly it strikes us with pain and bitterness….

I am angry because it did not make sense to me that we loose such a good person like her… she was as young as a blossoming flower… live and full of energy… smiling to the world and spreading happiness around her… I only see it unfair that good people are gone… and we only stay with the leftovers around us….

I feel sorry for all her family… friends… relatives… and whoever loved her light little soul… but definitely she is in better hands and in a better place than this ugly world full of lies and masks….

You were a real person… with good deeds… you are and will be missed….

May you rest in peace…. May God bless your soul….

WOW....!!!

Thought of just sharing my thoughts about this subject… and WOW you as I was WOWed last weekend….

I just came back from North Coast near Alexandria… I was invited for EMAAR event Sidi Abdel Rahman, their project is called MARASSI…

They were launching the beach and the compound… and they invited 12,000 invitees (top notch… crème de la crème in Egypt)

Let me describe the event for you, so you can imagine, or at least have the imaginary vision of how it was… and would love to read your comments later… I will not put my feedback.. I will just wait for yours….

We arrived at the location of the event, and we went to a huge parking area, where you cannot see the place from cars… the smallest or least car brand we were seeing was a BMW model 2006… which was considered OLD car compared to the unbelievable number and brands of cars parking in the parking slot.

We parked our cars somewhere far from the main gate, then we went on foot (a 5 minutes walking distance)…

There were two main entrances, one for home owners there and one for guests… we entered from the guests main gate… as soon as you enter from the gate, you are faced with a smooth tiles passage surrounding rich green landscapes and fountains, moving around the landscape in a serpent-like style… a golf cart takes you all through the passage and drops you off in front of a huge wooden gate that leads to the main lounge and changing area on one side, and to the beach on the other side…

We took our things and crossed the gate… two ladies and one man were distributing a give-away bag (high quality cloth bag) with Marassi logo on it in navy blue….

Then we entered to the beach… the moment we entered we felt like we are not in Egypt anymore… wooden stages on the right and left… on top of them lucrative seating areas in white square and rectangular shape couches and sofas… with glass and dark brown wooden tables in the middle of each seating setup…

At the back end of each stage… there is a bar that offers any kind of drink that you can ever imagine… starting from water and upwards till you reach Champaign and Baileys… in addition to food buffets continuously replenished with the best and most expensive food ever… just to name some of the food items… including - but not limited to – Caviar, Smoked Salmon, fish, pasta and ravioli stations, shrimps and calamari stations…etc… in addition to high end pastry serving Maracon and Marron Glassee all the time with pass-around trays with white glove butters service.

Anyway… we passed this part and continued to reach the sand part of the beach (before that it was wooden stages and smooth black tiles)… the moment you put your foot into the sand you are faced with a huge square bar (again) that serves drinks… and beside it there is a spot that distributes branded towels of Marassi… with different colors, varying from red, pink, orange, green apple, navy blue, dark blue and more…

We took our towels and we walked towards the left… We passed in front of another couches seating area on the left and beside it there was a huge fully equipped and lit stage, with all kind of sound and entertainment effects… on top of the stage there was an impressive Brazilian show of 6 women dancing in glittering swimsuits and wearing feather on top of their heads…

I can tell you the music was really amazing, the show was impressive… not only this one…but all the shows that took place in that day… there was about nine shows all through the day… some are Middle Eastern singers and some are International…

We crossed the stage area at our left and reached the beach itself…. So crowded with people… again I want to comment on this one… the crowd was really a quality crowd… you can see people (especially women) as if there are coming out of VOGUE or ELLE magazines… all dressed in a fashionable stylish swimsuits… make up… jewelry (including diamonds, and may be some precious stones that we never heard of as they are rare to find)… the Gucci and Louis Viton bags are all over the beach… the Dolce and Gabana swim pack is there… Christian Dior and Chanel fragrance is all over… everybody is shining like diamonds… glittering like gold in style… no tacky or excess look there… and everybody is having fun.. either eating… drinking… watching the show… or just enjoy swimming in the pure light blue and turquoise color water with white soft sand sinking under their stepping feet….

We took the way to the left on a high ramp (like a small hill) were our friends (who were home owners) were sitting there… The view from the top is really relaxing… watching people dancing on the beach… some swimming… and looking at the horizon and with its dark blue line highlighting the sky and framing the view in a beautiful square… complemented with summer breeze coming from north wind…

The seating up in the hill was different… it was like big bean bags… when you sit on them you sink in a comfortable way that takes the body shape and holds it for you… The seating was under the shades of an off-white tent… covering many seating areas (about 4 or 6 seating areas beside each others, each one is in 6 bean bags, two tables in the middle, and 4 small beach chairs branded as Marassi)…

We left of things there and went back to the stage and buffet area, where we had our rich lunch and drinks.. we went back and upwards to the hill and took some nice photos with the horizon and sea view, then went for a swim… I can tell you the sea was really calm… waiting to embrace us within its gentle waves….

I can tell you we really enjoyed our time… the ambiance… the mood… the music… the dance.. the crowd… the food… the drinks… everything was amazing….

I actually told you that I will not put my comments… but I really could not hold them back… as it was really an amazing event… EMAAR set a different standard for an event… they went very far to please everybody and to do an event that will be the talk of town for almost ONE year… if not more….

It is really a LIFETIME event… that happens once only… the perfection level they reached in this event was really impressive… I really cannot find words to describe what I’ve experienced there… but all I can say… that everybody was WOWed… not only me…

Wish you were all there…. Until the next post… CHEERS!!!!

Blossoming Love

Like a flower blossoming in the desert... shining under the burning sun with its striking colour... inspiring wind to gently blow and cool the rough surrounding... touching its smooth Patel's... giving it what it needs from air breeze...

So do Love... it simply gives life - with all its rough dark edges - a different dimension... that inspires the world around it... bringing all the good meanings to life...

Love is like a sailing boat... it works by its "winds"... and to the place it is meant to be... but it also docks at the place it was requested to dock at... It is up to us "people" to decide where we want it to dock and how, and why... We are the ones to decide what we need to do with it...

Do we want to keep the sailing boat at the dock...!!! do we want to sail without stopping..!!!! do we want to nurture it with our emotions and passion... so it grows more and more and shine more and more...

Or we should just leave nature play its role... whether to shine it or to burn it....!!!

Think of what you need to do with this precious meaning of life...!!!

Cheers under the burning sun...!!!!

Whatever... I will accept !!!

Whatever happens... I will accept it... mainly because it was meant to be...

Whichever comes into my life... good or bad... I will embrace it... and I will take it as it will be...

It does not mean that I will not fight to get what I want... or do my part and share of life bargain... it ONLY means that I will accept reality... with its harshness and bitterness...

Accepting is part of life... if you want to live in this world... you just need to accept it as it is... try to change the world is a very good attempt of survival in principals and values... but accepting is the utmost flexibility and adaptability to life changes....

There is a saying that best describes it: "The reasonable person is the one who adapts to the world... the unreasonable is the one who tries to change the world... but progress is credited to Unreasonable people"

Yes we should change the world around us... if we have the GUTS and the WILL to do that... but sometimes you just need to accept reality... at the end of the day what happens to us is a mirror reflection of our actions in life...

Have a wonderful "changing the World" day !!!!

Knitting destiny

You will wonder what the title does mean!!! and you will think it is a typing mistake... but I really mean it... "Knitting Destiny"...

We usually say this sentence "it is our fate.. it is our destiny... it is meant to be... it is out of our hand... destiny decided for us"...

Do you really think it is the truth??? does destiny mean anything except a hanger of our actual knitting???

We are the ones who decide what will happen for us after... we knit for it... we take the steps that lead to the direction and final destination we reach...

We describe destiny as something out of our hands... and sometimes refer it as God's will... but again... we were given the brain and the decision to choose things.. to act upon... to take the steps that lead to results...

Destiny exists in our mind... we use it when we need... but it is us who take the steps.. it is us who knit it... knit the world around us... and reach what is - in fact - the consequences of our actions...

Some philosophical words that I simply write to remind myself and you that we are the ones who are responsible for what we get in life.... we cannot use the "destiny" hanger to describe it... and we need to accept such a responsibility...

Just being realistic :):)

Have a wonderful day!!!

Blessings in the world

I am blessed... blessed to have you here... in this special day... at this precious moment... blessed because of you....

Blessed with your care, tenderness and kindness... Blessed I have you in my life...

You are like the expensive pure diamond... rare to find and very precious to keep...
Your words to me today made me feel I am a queen... queen of the world in your eyes... talking about how precious I am in the world... and how I have to stay precious to myself and to other people....

Sometimes I see care and love in your eyes... sometimes i hear you shivering from sincere emotions... sometimes you are not brave enough to express what you hide inside you... but I know it all... I know what you are hiding from me.... I know that friendship is most likely to be... but at the end of the day... we cannot deny the truth... or else we are going to loose...
Loose ourselves in the ocean ... or even to the sky... loose our soul and heart... or just wait for an absolution forever... that will save our soul from vanishing within the ocean waves and the sky scales...

You were a wish and a will... that found its way to what it needs... you were a wishful thinking... you are a kind soul and a strong light heart...

You gave life a different meaning and a sweet flavour... that I was craving for... and now after I tasted this flavour... I am addicted to it... I do not think you will be out off my life soon...

You are there for me now... and you will be here for me always... I want you in my life and want to be in yours... lets keep our souls close... till the end of the world...

To my best soul mate ever.... mine forever...

A Message from the Sea

THANK YOU... for everything you've done to me... all of you.. you've been soo good to me...
I really enjoyed my time to the bones...

You know what!!! I really valued the time I spent with you... valued the moments we had together... I mean all the fun... loads of it...
Sometimes I am in high energy, but again... it was you who made my weekend... I was really happy... and sad in the same time... happy because you are here... and sad because you were not with me all the time (spending quality time with each others)... and you will be gone in a while...

It was a love-hate relationship between us... I was amazed with your care in the beginning and was furious about your careless towards the end... Yes I did my share of mistakes...
I annoyed you... but you really pushed the wrong button... and pulled the trigger towards my brain... the only thing you cannot fool.
So you went with me into the black hole... where I can manage to be evil enough to get my revenge back...
You were sometimes mean to me... may be with no intention to be so... but it was your "habit" that I cannot tolerate and I will not be able to change...

I do not and will never ask you to change... I will accept you the way you are... as I like you as you are... and if you change for me... you will be no use to me... it is you like you are that I like the most...

I know I am demanding most of the time... but as I take you as a package... you need to accept me as I am... I appreciate your patience and passion... your romance... and i am sorry if I made it hard for you... but I really have some values and beliefs that I cannot compromise...

You just need to live with them anyway if you want me in your life...

This is the way I am my dear.. and I am like everyone else... a full package with its pros and cons...

From my side... I take you as a package...with your pros and cons... the good and bad side... or simply if this package does not suit you... then you have a whole world around you to choose from...

I am who I am... and will stay who I am... will change only in one stage... and only whenever I feel I want to do so... for what best suits me...]

BUT.. you can always have a contribution in this change... in a way or another...

I thank you for everything and I thank fate and destiny that made me know you and see you...

With all the love in the world... I call your name...
