Anxiety

"anger management"

is it anxiety or anguish that hurts the most ?

Disappointing disappointment

Why is it that the dearst persons to you are the ones to disappoint you the most?

Is it because, whatever happens they would always be the dearst?
Or is it because one does not remain disappointed, as time goes by?

I love this quote

My quote of the day as mentioned at the bottom of this page is:

It is not who is right, but what is right, that is of importance.
Thomas H. Huxley


How I like this quote.

I love my friends

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
-Albert Camus-

"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out."
-Walter Winchell-

"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself."
- Don't know who said it but love it :)-

By the way

It is :

Today.

ya222an.

I have a friend who actually believes in those superstitions ?_?

Do you, too ?

lol. I find them very amuzing :).

I used to ...

Do you sometimes wonder about the things you used to do? Do you sometimes stop for a while to assess yourself and compare yourself today with yourself yesterday...and more, compare it with yourself some years ago...?

Well I do.

Sometimes.

When a gap appears...

I recall that I used to like writing.

Many of my friends loved my emails and asked me to go into the writing business. I used to write long emails, from time to time, to give them an update about my adventures, my trips, here and there in order to fill in the time I've been missing without any news. J
May be, with the idea of this blog, I am renewing with the "pen" or shall I call it the "e-pen" lol; after a quite upsetting break-up that is still lasting.
Very weird that somehow, unwillingly, we wake up one day and the interest is "dead". I wouldn't say gone. Because when something is gone, we live by the hope of having it back again. However with the feeling of something is dead, inside, we kind of are released from keeping the hope alive.
...
Too much philosophy and still more to come **/

It’s my town, my blog, I can philosophize as much as I like **/ **/. Hoora!

I also used to draw.

I actually used to love drawing. Anything. Especially when a boring teacher/professor is annoying my thoughts…I recall, that my friends used to like borrowing my notes to copy them to review for finals simply because when bored, they got to read my extra-comments or enjoy my drawings. A classmate once told me, that my drawings made his days during the “periode de revision”. He, first, before beginning any lesson looks for my out-of-context comments.

Usually, I am a fan of writing dates when taking notes. So when it is a friend’s birthday, I would mention that, on the marge of my lecture notes. When my friends started asking for my notes to make copies of them, I was a bit embarrassed and I started coding my comments for me myself and I so that I keep my friends’ privacy and mine private.

Well, I did not paint since ten years. I did not draw since three years.

Ok, now this is very upsetting. :(

However, I’ve noticed, that a new hobby, Photography, has gained over the pencil’s power. My first photography club was ZOOM and we had the best “ Chef! Oui Chef! ever”. I am very grateful to him for his patience to teach us and for his guidance. He made me love photos. I’ve been in love with photography since seven years, may be. Now, that is something I will never divorce. I might lose the appetite for it for a while but I wouldn’t stop.

Then again, we will see. One never knows.

I used to enjoy penfriendship. I had penfriends allover the globe. I guess internet killed such an activity. I highly admire and applaud the ones that are surving it!

Actually, I fought for it. However when the people you are writing to, are preferring the high tech and would give an e-reply (an e-mail) to your mail, or an e-card to your card….the good old school of writing fades away and somehow you give it up too…

I am not very proud of it but I admit that e-mail is very helpful. Still, it sucks when you would like to write emails for people who can’t have an internet connection or who still don’t know how to use the internet >___<.

I don’t know, as I am recalling this and that, I feel that ……….I used to be …me.

Is it that or am I really a grown-up now.? >__<

Welcome to adulthood. m(-_-)m.

How I long to my childhood. !! Life was so simple and so candid. :)

I guess this is another chapter of my nostalgia book that needs to pop from now and then. A very frequent attitude of people living abroad :).

Well, at least, I am glad that I am writing again.

Hoora !

Got nothing interesting to say :(

Could you guess what it means :p :p ?

'Eid el Idha'

"Nabtati al habiba"

This is my baby!!!

I took care of it and now it is a nice "Lady". My Chilli plant. My "togarashi". It is from Buthan. I got it as a gift from a friend in June. it was may be ten-cm height, with no flowers. I never thought it would grow up enough to have "children". Then little by little its leaves got bigger and bigger and one day I got my first flower. I couldn't believe it. Then more flowers...Then one day the first green pepper. I was sooo excited. then a second, a third, a forth...In October, I tried my first "home made" chilli and man how spicy it was. In the beginning of December Two chillis turned red :). I can't ask for more.
The plant was dying because of the cold weather. I got sad, naturally. Then, I decided to have it by my desk as the room is usually warm 23/7. It is recovering. I am cheering up.

I'm back !

Hello World !
Here I am back from vacation and as Juicy Fruiter has said "It's nice to go on vacation, but nothing, and I do mean NOTHING is better then coming home and laying down in your own bed."

I got home at 6.35 am. I was in a nine-hour bus...I am so glad to be out of it!
To be honest it is confortable however exhausting because it is mainly designed to suit Japanese people. For "big in Japan" peps, stretching legs might be a hard task. Anyway, El Hamdullah, I got home safe.
We are still in holidays. School resumes on the 6th but I am already at school. I've missed my desk sooooo much. Here is a picture of it :) with my plant.



I should dedicate a thread to my "togarashi", my beloved chilli plant.

For the first time in my life I don't send postcards nor e-card greetings for the New Year ( by the way it is the Dog Year this year according to the Chineese calendar) . Barely was I able to call mum.
It could be hard, sometimes, to access "communication tools" while traveling...So Apologies World !

Well, let me tell you about my holidays: I've spent my birthday with a friend. She made me a unique cake :). Then...From her town ( somewhere between Osaka, Kyoto and Nara, I can't recall it exactly, may be Seika, gotta check it again, sorrrryyy -^^-), we traveled to Kanazawa. My first trip to Kanazawa. It was all white. Snow everywhere. I like it. We met with her friends and my favourite encounter was with Ahmad. He is the cutest baby I've ever met in my whole life. I feel it won't be my last trip to Kanazawa. I'm in love :), already. lol. What is great about babies is that they are like mirrors. They could reflect what is deep inside of anyone. Having a baby to trust you is a challenge. Because, if they don't like you, they automatically cry and reject you and it would take sometime to make them get to open up to you ( which might be embarassing) . In my case, the baby seemed to love me and so did I. We got along so easily ;).
