Second marriages…
Years ago, i was having lunch with my dad (may he rest in peace) and his wife who is a very dear friend of mine.
Apparently he liked the food, the Nile view restaurant and the company, so he started talking about the past…things that went on with his life…the ups and the downs…the mistakes…
I always enjoyed his little chats with me…his colorful walks down memory lane…he was real…raw…and kind.
He paused a second and asked me: Do you think i should have done better when it comes to my marriage/divorce/ handling the whole kids issue?? read more »
3 Strikes: Hotel Restaurants.
I’ve not had the energy to write up reviews for some of the restaurants I’ve been to recently; but after a 3rd attempt at having supposedly high end dining experience at some of the hotels in Cairo, I can’t keep silent any longer. I went to 3 different hotels and 3 different restaurants; Okashi, at the Hyatt Regency; JW Steakhouse at the Zamalek Marriot; and Shogun at the Intercontinental city stars.
The reviews will come over the next couple of days, but right off the bat, you should know that all 3 were experiences I would not repeat; it seems hotel restaurants follow the time-honored tradition of the Egyptian Tourist trap, promising much more than they can deliver at ridiculous prices. read more »

Macbook Pro External Display
I own a macbook for 2 years now and only a few months ago I needed to connect my Macbook to an external display “only”, meaning that I want to close the laptop lid and work on a huge external display with an external keyboard and mouse to save the screen and to enjoy everything in a one big screen (I love dual-head too but I hate it when one screen is much bigger that the other).
So, for quite sometime I thought that this is not possible, but it turned out to be possible and pretty easy to do.
Now to the important part 
You MUST connect all of the following things first; read more »

Staying young..
You don’t stay young by dieting and exercising, but rather by learning and laughing. The first option, makes you look young. But the second one, keeps your heart young. read more »
Lurve
Sucky, strange, weird day.
So I’ve loved two guys in my life. Neither relationship worked out. One was a case of unrequited love on my part (and to make things lurvely he married one of my best friends) and the other was a case of me outgrowing him. read more »
The Duality of Impact..or something like it.
Or maybe a reflection on something...
It amazed me today as I stood in front of one of the greatest artists of all time- at least I think so- all giggly and blushing...how it was one of the major events of my life. If not the major one. For it is. I don't think my life had many major incidents of that sort...up until today. The amazing thing is; it was such a major thing for me, and an insignificant thing for him.
Awkward Family Conversation
Aunt: Why? What do you like about them?
Me: It was more of a sociological study of how people who have done nothing in their life can get so rich and famous.
Aunt: Why are they even famous?
Me: One of them had a sex tape, and then...
Aunt: Do you know how many people have sex tapes?!
Me: DO YOU?!

Is Skype really blocked in Egypt!?

Tea With Omar Sharif
The Jerusalem Report
March 29, 2010
When I read that Egypt’s Journalist Union had punished two senior Egyptian editors – one a member of the country’s ruling party and the other an expert on Jewish affairs for violating its ban on contacts with Israel, I wondered if Omar Sharif ever thinks of me.
My nemesis wasn’t the once-heartthrob Egyptian actor but a State Security officer in Cairo whose nom de guerre was Omar Sharif and who, for six months in 1999, tormented me for moving to Jerusalem as a correspondent for Reuters. There is no law that bans Egyptians from visiting Israel but everyone knows that once you do, State Security will invite you over for “a cup of tea” – i.e., an interrogation. read more »

668) No Hard Feelings -Eps.3- Men Buttons!
Back to Engy's query about men and buttons & how may they say something they don't mean or do...!Quoting the quote-hater
In the software field, we study a nifty concept named ‘a deadlock’. A deadlock takes place when two events, mutually dependent, and in a rare scenario, wait for each other. They create a cycle that stops moving, because both can’t take the next step without the other taking theirs.
I could have quoted the whole post, but that is what google reader is for! read more »
Random Thoughts – Part 3
Some wholeheartedly believe in the saying: “Love is never enough”, no one wonders: “What is?!”. As if we need something to be enough on its own, which is just wrong. And because we always bounce back and forth between extremes, we stop loving entirely, because .. lol .. it’s never enough! We turn into adamant stagnant human beings who give themselves the satisfaction of being different and out of the circle.
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation – Oscar Wilde read more »
