The Point of NO RETURN!

i was talking to a very good friend of mine at uni today, and during our "vague" discussion, i realized that we both share the very same fear, although neither of us knew or had a clue what the other had in mind :)

it was the fear that we get when we reach a point where we can no more decide whether we should take a certain step in our lives or not, coz once u take that step, there is no way back, u can either win it all, or ur either going to lose everything :) and u have no idea how things are going to end... but at the same time, if u don't take ur chances, u r going to lose a lot, for such chances only occur once in a life time, and ur time is running out... and although u can never tell what might happen (or not) in both cases, u have to decide...

perhaps it's the fear of failure, or simply just fearing the unknown or what to expect... fearing that things won't end up the way we hope, or that they would end in a horrible way and destroy all ur hopes and dreams... that it would be the biggest mistake in ur life ever :)


although we didn't get to a final solution, and we still have fears, i can only say that i've enjoyed this type of what i call a "higher level" communication, i guess am lucky to have found such a friend :)

the thing is, if u were in our shoes, what would u do? would u take ur chances, knowing that u won't be able to fix things if they go real bad, or would u choose to skip, and wait in hope that another chance as this "might" occur later in ur life when ur ready to take it?

Finally, a post ;)

i know it's been a while since i've last posted (about 4 months now!), but i was really touched by the fact that lots of you (specially David, Tala, Kinzi, Dar and samir amongst others) kept on visiting this blog in hope that i might post something new :)

where did i vanish, and what happened during the past 4 months? it's a long story :) (actually i felt like i was living in an indian movie since nothing around me made sense at all ;) a murder, a robbery, a fire, a play, a weird engagement and a messy last minute graduation project. i know that u probably won't believe any of what i'll say, so i'll just keep it all for myself ;) all i can say is that during the past months, i have learned a lot, and i have pretty much changed :)

i have chosen to miss the graduation ceremony the i've been looking forward to for the past 5 long years of my life, and am mad enough to consider getting a masters degree! but the good thing is, i made it, i have managed to survive through it all :D and i have no regrets what so ever... am just more sure than i ever was that God doesn't play dice... everything, no matter how unimportant it may seem to be, happens for a reason :) and although life can get really ugly, it still manages to show it's unique beauty in a magnificent way! i have realized that sometimes, perfection lies in the imperfection :D

what will i be doing now? i'll open a new page, or perhaps a new chapter in my life :) i'll take my chances and spread my wings (although i know that i might just be doing this to run away!)... where will i end? am just a rain drop... i guess like u, all i could do is wait and see ;) i just hope that my life would be worth living, and that i'll do something useful with it :)

till my next post, take care all :)

Temporarily Out of Service...

I announce that this blog is temporarily out of service, I won’t be posting for a while…

I don’t feel like I have to give excuses, or that i owe any1 an explanation; for those who know me, know very well that I always have a good reason for my behaviors and actions.
I apologize for any inconvenience, but i also would appreciate it if you could accept my decision...

Ever Felt Like Maruko?

My little sister used to be a big fan of Maruko, and we were all forced to watch it, but i mainly liked one thing about her, the face fault she had in reaction to embarrassment :)

last night, i was put in a very awkward position due to a huge misunderstanding, i never felt so embarrassed in my whole life, lol! i don't think that even Maruko has a face that could actually describe the way i felt :)

it really is funny, how fate sometime plays with us... like how some events happen at the very wrong time, and for u, everything seems to make sense at the moment, just to realize that it's completely the opposite :)

Yet, i do believe that everything, no matter how horrible it is, happens for a reason.... there is always a lesson that we can learn :) (even if we can't directly tell what it is!) ... part of what i learned was, sometimes those who care about u most, those who wish the best for u, and those who have always been there when u need, they do mean good when they advice u or when they give u a note, but i also do remember that one of my uni profs once told me, "if it ain't broken, then don't fix it!" i guess this too applies on us :)

sometimes, all we need is time... we might not be ready yet to accept a thought or an idea, or even a simple change in our lives.... sometimes it's better to give the person a chance to decide what he/she would like to do with their lives... we were created different, and each 1 of us has his own way of thinking, his own ideas and his own dreams, and that's what makes it fun to know other people, it won't be interesting if everyone thought about things in the very exact way!!! we're not copies of each other, and we shouldn't be, but we have to respect other's personalities and points of view :)

i also realized that the biggest debt u'll ever find urself in, is when some1 is being generously kind with u, coz u never know if u'll ever be able to do the same 1 day...

the point is, u can never change what happened... all u can do is lock it in a big box, try to forget, and smile :) life goes on... so should u :)

Valentine Cookies Party :D

One of the good sides of being a female blogger in jordan is that you can actually enjoy gathering with other great ladies while having fun decorating delecious handmade cookies and talking about everything, including nonsense :D

Last night, we all gathered at MommaBean's house :) i had to follow Kinzi, whom i discovered that she's sort of my neighbor, and was kind enough to show me the way (thank you very much, i really appreciate it :)

I was afraid that i might not mingle very well, specially when i hardly knew anyone, and i've never met them before, but as soon as i met Kinzi, and saw how sweet she was with me, i realized it's going to be so much fun :) and it was ;)

There, we met TetaBean (who reads our blogs ;), JiddoBean, BabaBean, JujuBean, JuniorBean, and ButterBean :) MommaBean told us the secret of the Beans family :D (which am not gonna tell ;)

i also got the chance to meet the sweet Rebecca, Kinzi) and her sweet little treasure ;) Oula Farawati and her cute Natalie, Salam (Um Zaid) and her 2 adorable kids, and Khalida :)

it was a weird mixture of women, we were from various ages, different cultures, variety of majors and back grounds, but we all had 1 thing in common, blogging :) (and our love for cookies ;)

Khalida and i had a nice little chit-chat, she shared me some of her life experiences, and it was really nice to know that she too is an engineer (which gave me hope that i might be able to find a job after graduation ;) she also made this beautiful duck and heart cookies :) (you really are talented !)

Oula Farawati made an adorbale little girl cookie wearing a cute skirt (i wish if i had an imagination such as urs ;), while Salam made an amazing frog :) the rest of us decorated stars and heart shaped cookies (what i wrote in the heart i made is our little secret ;)

The kids also made some cookies, but Zaid won the 3D cookies competition ;) JujuBean decided she wants to play "doctor" with me, she listened to my heart beats, measured my temperature and pressure, and gave me an injection :) but when she came to check my ears, she found out that i had no ears!!! she also decided that i have no hair at all :) it was fun convincing her that my ears and hair are (hiding), but she only believed me when she got to play "peek-a-boo" :) Jujubean also made me laugh when she looked at Kinzi and said "Mommy mommy, she has beautiful hair like i do!"

it really was fun to meet you all :) i had a great time, and i absolutely can't remember when was the last time i enjoyed my time this much :) thank you MommaBean for your hospitality, and am really sorry for all the mess we made :)
