It was a nice unexpected meeting I had with Khaled Nazzal, Razan, and Walid at JUST.

Khaled insisted that I smile in the pic…I really can’t smile to cameras, I just can’t!!

thanks in advance !

Hii

I moved to wordpress and my domain name ! thanks to MoeY

Many difficulties encountered due to the NEW BLOGGER!! I had to use external script to import from NEW BLOGGER!

Fortunately, posts and comments were imported! UNFORTUNATELY, the damned importer didn’t import comments properly! It only shows the last 25 comments of each post!! this is screwed up!!

Do you have any idea how to fix it ??

I don’t know, perhaps I’ll just let it go or maybe I’ll import them manually !

Anyway, tell me how do you like the new theme ???

I’m still looking for new themes, and I also need to categorize my posts and update the side bar widgets: blogroll, pages, ..

so please if I happen to appear on your blogroll, update your bookmarks and edit my link!

“Happy Single Awareness Day”. Weird, isn’t it ?

As girlish as it may seem, and since I’ve been doing nothing but : eating, sleeping, gaining weight, and surfing the web since my last exam at the university. So yesterday I decided to get out of bed and surprisingly I decided to go out to do something else rather than buying food!

I went to buy perfume and I really enjoyed the smell of the shop! Not only the smell, but the look of the shop. An extreme makeover, they changed the facade of the shop and decorated everything with the color “red” ! As I always act, a stranger from another planet, I asked the guys there (with all the assurance in the world in my voice) if it is the apples celebration or the national day of trees (I don’t know where I got these terms from anyway)! They giggled, and said it’s for “VALENTINE’s DAY” !

I laughed, picked up my perfume (Dunhill for the curious) and walked back home! Ahh, the shop is infront of the mansion where I live, I can see it from the window lol..

Anyway, It’s February/3rd and I decided to celebrate already…and this is how the celebration went: I sneaked to the blog archives of my friends and read what they wrote in the last couple of years in February, specifically in February/14th (I deleted my post of last february/14th *angel*) and look at what I found:

The most interesting blog was JNET, of course!

In February 2005, she wouldn’t stay alone or let her friends spend the night alone so she invited her friends to party at her house! Good idea JNET!!

I don’t invite anybody to my room..!

In February 2006, she was greeted “Happy Single Awareness Day” !

Actually I didn’t wanna talk about Valentine’s day in specific, but about occasions like Eid, Christmans, Hanukka, ..etc.

Apart from the religious importance of some occasions (which we pay the least attention for), I think today these occasions are making people feel nothing but bad about themselves. Not everyone have enough money to buy new cloths for the Eid, not everyone have families to spend Christmas with, and orphans have no fathers to greet on father’s day!

Happy single awareness day

I think It’s time to answer the un-answered tags!, but before I start I wanna inform you of the update of the JUST Bloggers list…so If you wanna discover more bloggers from JUST, more Geeks, this is your opportunity!

Anyway, I’ve been getting continous tags from my friends and I’d like to thank them all, thanks go to : Queenie, Manal Yusuf, MaLa2e6, Summer, The Caller, Qwaider, Sharifo, SimSim, SecretsBox, 7ala NaturalBlu, and all others…I hope I didn’t forget anybody !!! :s

Tag #1: Book Tag

Im obviously the only Jordanian blogger who didn’t answer this tag yet!! lol

The rules are: Grab the book closest to you, Open to page 123-Scroll down to the 5th sentence, post the text of next 3 sentences on your blog-Name of the book and the author, Tag 3 people.

Answer:
“But neither life nor happiness can be acheived by the pursuit of irrational whims. Just as man is free to attempt to survive in any random manner, but will perish unless he lives as his nature requires, so he is free to seek his happiness in any mindless fraud, unless he seeks happiness proper to man. The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.”
- For the New Intellectual: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand.

Wow, what a piece of art! that very paragraph above says it all! (Im conservative about some of the ideas stated above)
