Head of the Beach

Last Thursday, was a day where I experienced one of the greatest experiences in my life.

I went to ras elbar with my friends ALONE without any of my family members, without any guardian what so ever! I was my own guardian.

I will say exactly what I did that day, every single bit, so that I can always remember this day.

On Wednesday, I finish college at about 5pm. When we finished we went home and had lunch. Then my mother said she will sleep for a while and then we will leave Cairo and head to Mansoura isA. Then my mother thought it would be better if we left early in the morning, it when the sun is up. And so we did. At 4am, I woke up. We - me, my mother, my older sister and my younger brother - left Cairo at about 5am. We arrived mansoura at about 7:30am. I went home, freshened up for the trip, and went with my mother to a place me and my friends had planned on meeting at. I went at about 8:15am.

At that time, a couple of my friends and one of my friends' brother went to rent a microbus to take us alone without any other passengers. Then when they rented the microbus, they called us and told us to go to them...it was about to leave Mansoura.

The microbus left Mansoura at about 9am. We arrived at about 10 or 11am. Then we went to my friends shaleah. We freshened up, and decided to go have our breakfast. We went and ate "fool w ta3meya". We asked for 10 fool and 4 ta3meya, they got us 10 ta3meya and 4 fool, then they replaced them with the right order..the girls ordered some other things too. Anyways, in the middle of our breakfast, another friend came and she insisted on paying the bill of our breakfast; which was 14 L.E. I ate 2 sandwiches meaning she is to take 1.5 L.E. from me :D.

Then we went and bought some chips and sweets. We then headed to the shaleah because one of the girls was alone there.

At that time, we were 12 girls. We decided to play football infront of the shaleah. We played kilo bamya :D and splitted into two teams. One of the girls - the one that was very tired and wasn't able to come with us to the breakfast - was unable to play, and so she said she will be our referee. Then her sister said that she will not play as well. Then they where the referees.

I started off as the goalie. Well...I wasn't wearing my glasses :D. 2 goals where able to pass me, and thenI decided to wear my glasses :D. Another goal passed by me, and then I decided to know my capabilities in the other fields. I switched and played defense for a while; wasn;t that bad in it. Then I played as an attacker, and I was good in that :D.

It was a great game. One of my friends wanted to catch a goal, then she jumped the jump of the goalies in the TV. She hit the ground and fell. It was very hard on her, truely. And another one was shot in her knee instead of the ball by someone in one of the fusses we had around the ball :D.

We all fell alot. We lost 6-1 :D.

We then went up to the shaleah to freshen up, we played cards for a while; DONKEY. And I didn't take any letter :D.

Then, we went to rent a boat. We had so much fun, the nile looked very nice, and the peaacee!! It was great.

Then we went and rented bikes and motorcycles. I tried riding any of the bikes, but they were all very big, or very small..they were uncomfortable. Then I looked at the motorcycles, I saw them really small. I felt they were safer than the bikes themselves. I tried the motorcycle, and was not bad. Then me and my friend rented two motorcycles and I started going around after her, because I was still frightened, it was the first time I "sit" on a motorcycle.

I couldn't take anyone with me, I was affraid I fall or something. I can bare myself falling, but I can't bare being responsible for another person. My friend took the girls behind her one after the other. I kept going after her. The streets were empty. I fell once, because I was too slow :D. I was too slow on sand. Anyways, I went back up quickly to be able to reachmy friend, because I didn't know the way back to the renting place :D. Then she had reached the U-turn and had saw that I was behind her with alot. Then she stopped and made sure I was ok; which I was e7l..didn't get a scratch even e7l.

Then we went to cookdoor. We ordered an order, and the ones who had some cloth to change into in the shaleah went to change and refreshen up from the sand and the sweat, and so I went with them. I was the only one who took a shower. It was one bath and we had to be quick. I took the shower in exactly 7 minutes, which is nothing according to the usual time I spend in the shower. We changed and went back to cookdoor. We ate and then we went to ellesan.

The weather was awesome! We took alot of pictures there. It was amazing. I enjoyed it alot bgad. I walked with my friend for a while there, it was extremely ... romantic (L) :D.

We then Went to the microbus. At that time my friends' parents and her little brother had came. They came with us in the microbus at about 9pm. We left and arrived Mansoura at about 10:15pm. My mother came to me and my friend at about 10:30pm. I was home at about 11pm.

And my whole body is hurting me since that time!

I did not feel any pain during the whole trip..but once am home, I feel the pain!

But it was worth it! :D

My Brother's Accident

Yesterday, was a day I think I shall never forget.

I was sleeping in a room along with my sisters, cousin and nephews.
I woke up on screams coming from a mobile phone made on the loudspeaker; it was my mother. I could hear nothing from what my mother was saying, I even didn't recognize her except when my grandmother and aunts started saying her name.

Then apparently they heard what my mother was saying, and it hit me that something bad happened!

My aunts started running in the house looking for things to wear to go out, they started screaming, everything turned bad all of a sudden. Then we - the girls - asked what is it, then they said "m7moud 3amal 7adsa"!

I felt, shocked..hoping that its a dream...then I started crying and saying "e7na met5an2een!".

I was so afraid that something bad happens, but what was making me feel more frightened than all the other accidents he did was if something bad happens and we were not talking to each other.

I was afraid to feel that we had the chance to talk to each other, but we both lost it because of being stubborn and stupid, and childish...and allowing whatever kind of she6an get between us; or 7asad...or whatever ya3ny.

Which makes me think of el 7asad. Why do people look at other people's belongings and wish its destruction? Why don't they only notice what they want to notice from other peoples' things?

Everyone has their goods and bads, humans should be more grown up ya3ny.

makol wa7ed yeb2a fe 7alo ya3ny.

bgad I can't stop loving China! This is one of the things I love about the Chinese too btw.

e7l ennuh gat 3ala 2ad keda, 5er e7l.

I love china

My mother and brother went to China from about 10 days ago, and they came back to Kuwait yesterday.

I worked! Really I did the reception and a bathroom, really good; including the WALLS ya3ny!! I missed them both, trueellyyyyyy :D.

BUT!! I simply...LOVE MY DRESS!! Well my mother got me the style I told her to look for, almost exact! But there is a problem :D I'm too fat :D. Or they're just toooo thin. isA when we go Egypt we'll try to fix this problem, but I'm not sure that it will be done professionally, and so, I have a substitute! My mom got me and my both sisters dresses. But the dress she bought for my oldest sister fits me exactly; it is the largest size they have there for such dresses. Anyways, the dress is now put in my traveling bag :D. ya3ny I am out with two very very nice dresses that I simply love! My mother took my brother with her everywhere, meaning that I think am thanking both my mother and brother for there choice, cuz I really don't know what to say; speechless. I keep opening my dress and look at it, and adding things to it and fixing things that need to be fixed from the travel. Really, me in love (L) :D.

Needless to mention all the other things my mother and brother got me..and the amount of T-shirts..OMG really I love them. They're all the style I asked them to look for!

My traveling bag is now full with my things, I thank god that I only took one ta2m from Egypt to Kuwait with me :D.

I got really excited to visit China. From what they said about it, I wonder how people can be like that. It's weird how people do nothing but work! They are extremely athletic, they are extremely helpful, they have a really good way of living! I feel bad that they have this much in them, yet they have no religion what so ever! They live and die without believing in anything! I wonder, don't they ever wonder how they .. live and die :S. People like those will be really good in islam, because they do everything be etqan! So they will 'yotqeno' el islam.

One of the things my mother and brother told us was about the lady working in the place where they bought my sisters' wedding dress. The lady went up the ladder, got the dress, then went back down, all athletically, then she opened the dress and got it out and showed it to them, then she folded it up again, bezemma! ya3ny if one side is not folded correctly she re-opens it to refold it again - doing this all half sitting on the ground - then she stood up, and then she took a deep breath, then she apologizes for taking that deep breath pointing at her belly and saying baby!! ya3ny she only got tired from going up the ladder with the enthusiasm they saw in her because she is pregnant! I think a pregnant woman in a shop in Egypt would ask her boss to give her easy tasks to consider her state :S.

All the shops - except the restaurants - close by 6:30 pm!!!

There are a lot and a lot I just love about them; including their body sizes :D.

I love China, without visiting it!

Air Conditioner in Kuwait

Today is perhaps the fourth or fifth day the air conditioner is working badly in Kuwait. Today was my first time I complain it to my father.

I wake up at night mafzoo3a! because of the hotness. I woke up today feeling like someone is choking me! I've never felt this way...I kept waving air at my face to feel .. air! The air conditioner is on all day long, and I feel like I am standing under the sun all day long. It is doing nothing.


Today when I told my father to bring someone to fix it, he said that this is because of the humidity in Kuwait, and that the humidity reached more than 90%! It is awful. He told me that in the newspaper they said that at some hospitals the air conditioners are also not working well, and that at the surgery rooms things are very bad, especially that they need the air conditioner the most in there.

When I realized that this issue may cause a huge problem to those patients, I realized I was a spoiled girl. All I care about is not to feel sweaty and to feel the air conditioner .. and to make it so cold in the summer so that I can cuddle myself in my bed under my blanket.

Those people are actually suffering.

The problem I feel the most now is that I feel laziness. I haven't memorized anything in Qura'an for two days now! I haven't even revised anything! And about preying, every once in a while I prey sitting. I do nothing at home; no dishes, no cooking, no helping in any kind :S.

And today my sister felt she takes her breath hardly. She is the one who cooks and I sleep all day. I can't sleep at night! I usually sleep 8 hours per day, so I decided to sleep 6 only yesterday so that I can sleep at night. Yesterday I slept 12 midday, and woke up 6 pm before elma3'reb. Went to bed 1am, couldn't sleep until elfajr (4am!). Slept 4:30 am woke up 6am for my lesson, the teacher didn't come and slept again at 8am, then woke up at 4pm! I lost 8 hours in the best time of a ramadan day!

When I was out of the shower my sister had done everything, only the table needed to be setted with the food, which was the only thing I did.

Kuwait needs some fresh air! e7l my sister is fine now, it was a sec ya3ny..but still, it happened.

5er isA.

Arguments

When we get into an argument, sometimes we wonder whether we are right. We wonder if our opinions are actually right, and not the stubbornness doing the work; as usual. We start looking at the picture trying to use the eyes of the other opinions, perhaps we agree. But we realize that we start answering the other opinions with our own, and start the argument all over again in our head.

We feel like our head is going to explode!

Are those opinions actually right, or is it NOT FAIR?!!!

Why do we have to do things we just DON'T WANT TO DO?! Why do we sometimes have to act as robots? Are we not human beings as well? Why don't we get the chance to say yes! or no. Why do we listen to people we already hate? Why do we judge people's opinions from acts done under pressure and depression? Why do people talk about things that are non of their business? Why do people like to force others to do things they 'might' not want to do?!

Arguments are the reason why we start thinking of things we never thought of. They are the reason why they open our eyes to things we didn't notice. Arguments!! I hate arguments! Some things are better left for their time. Why do we argue about things we can never change? We know nothing about what is to come, all we know that it will be el 5er! So why do we argue?

An argument rarely makes one of the sides happy. A discussion is what should be done!
