Dive...
Open your eyes wide to see what lies in the depths
Leave its waves to turn your life upside down, it can’t be worse anyway
Talk to it..
Small things that matter..

انقسم الناس بين مؤيد و معارض، و بين معارضة مطلقة و معارضة للاستمرار فى المظاهرات..
كان عندى اسباب تخلينى من المؤيدين، و ان كل الناس اللى اعرفها نزلت – و هم لا يتعدوا 15 شخص – هما ناس بتحب بلدها و لم يكن عندها اهداف خفية، و لم يدفع لهم احد علشان ينزلوا...
لكن ممكن جدا اطلع غلطانة... ممكن يطلع ان بقية المتظاهرين عملاء للاجانب، او حتى ناس مش عارفه هى عايزه ايه، او حتى طلبة عايزة تزوغ من الجامعة! ممكن تكون المظاهرات شريفة لكن تنتهى نهاية سيئة لو اللى مسك البلد بعد كده حزب اخر فاسد!
فى وسط كل ده فى حاجتين مهمين:
- من حق كل واحد يدافع عن رايه و المبدأ اللى شايفه صح بدون ان يتهم الاخر انه مش فاهم او مش حاسس او انه عميل هو الاخر!! ان تحاول ان تقنع الاخر برايك، يختلف عن انك تحاول انقاض رأيه..
- من حق كل واحد ان يدافع عن رأيه حتى لو طلع غلطان فى النهاية.. لازم برضه الناس تحترمه..
يعنى لما تحصل انتخابات، اكيد مش كلنا هنتفق على نفس الشخص، هل هذا يعنى اننا هننقسم على بعض؟ طب و هنعمل ايه فى الشخص اللى ينجح فى الانتخابات ب70% من الاصوات، هل سيترك الاخرون البلد لانهم ام ينتخبوه؟!
رأى: تربية الديمقراطية
الدستور اتغير علشان الناس تقدر تنتخب انتخابات نزيهة، تختار فيها من يمثلها..
لكن ازاى حد هيروح يختار رئيس الجمهورية و هو عمره ما اختار هيدرس ايه و اغلب الناس لا تختار كليتها بل المجموع هو الذى يختار.. و ازاى حد هيختار نائب عنه فى مجلس الشعب و هو الذى تربى على ان انتخابات اتحاد الطلبة دى شكليات و كلنا كنا بنملى الورقة بالاسامى اللى بتتوزع علينا..
اكيد انا مش ضد الديمقراطية، لكن فيه خطوات كتير محتاجين نعدى بيها علشان نحقق الكلمة الكبيرة دى بجد؛ عمليا اعتقد انه هيكون دور كل بيت، و وزارة التبية و التعليم و التعليم العالى: يعنى مثلا يكون فيه مواد اختيارية فى المدرسة، انتخابات بجد فى المدارس و الجامعات..
حلم: اللجان الشعبية:
اكتر شىء اثر فى و حسيت انه بداية تغيير حقيقى هو رؤية الناس اللى نظمت نفسها علشان تحمى البيوت و تنظف الشارع و تساعد بعض..
كل اللى باحلم بيه ان ده يكمل، سواء على مستوى كل واحد فى شغله، او ان تتعمل فعلا جمعيات تستغل طاقتنا (اجمع نفسى لانى عايزه ارجع اشارك فيها) متأكده ان فيه افكار كتير بس عايزه اللى يوظفها صح..
و متأكدة ان لو كل واحد رجع شغله بنفس التفانى و الحماس اللى سمعت عنه فى المظاهرات، هنبقى حاجه تانية
..
شكرا لكل الناس اللى خلت التغيير ده حقيقى
...
من مواطنه كان نفسها تبقى فى مصر دلوقت..

“Opportunity” is the mirage that we follow, ending up of deviating from the real path of our dreams.

I had this dream yesterday:
I was 15 years old, considered smart, and my teachers used to say i was wise for my age.. I learned a lot, i thank God for the success he granted me..
Suddenly I came to a place new to me, they didn’t speak my (language), I looked not like an alien to them, but just a foreigner. They forced me to attend the 2nd grade class, and start again repeating years and studies I already passed!! I tried to explain, but it seems my (language) is different, I try to scream, but I seem like the crazy girl objecting for being degraded to (heaven). I recline, enter the class, sit in the last row, have to accept the (teacher) dealing with me like I’m still a kid.
It was a hard feeling, indescribable; is it unjust? Foolishness? Their right for accepting foreigners? Or am I just getting crazy?!
I tried to scream, but this time just couldn’t, my voice betrayed me.
Finally, its not a dream, except that I’m not… 15 years old..

Last week when I read the news about sentencing the Egyptian blogger for expressing his ideas, the news that I first knew from the Blog of Nora Younis, wasn’t as much shocking as the comments of some extremist person on her blog!!!
Only days before that, I was reading a novel, in which there is a part where a governor (main character of the novel) orders to release from prison all people including politicians, but ordered not to release any of the writers.. The ones that he is afraid of most …
The sentence – though different – reminded me of sentencing Marcel Khalifa for one of his songs, in which he only included holy Ayat, with really a good will and respect for the holy book.
Looking back into the last years, and the years earlier.. I wasn’t able unfortunately to find someone who has answer to the freedom of expression; it was always banned in a way or another, its only when time changes that taboo topics differ, from political to social to religious, But the history of defending freedom of expression is what takes it from phase to another, we fight to gain one right, which takes us to another step where we’ll have to defend other rights.. And this fight as well is what takes us from one state of freedom in country to another state..
I remember since school that In one of Shakespeare’s plays “As you like it”; Touchstone is one of the characters that represents a person that everybody else knows to be a fool (or actually a crazy man), at one of the speeches he (Touchstone) expresses how he likes that others consider him a fool; it’s the only way that everybody will leave him talk, express his ideas, criticize, without being condemned for his ideas.. People would say: “he just a crazy man...” and you never know how they would actually consider his words...

Since me and my husband got engaged, we have our special dates where we celebrate, apart from the common ones, but yet we used to surprise each others with flowers on Valentines' day.. this year, it was hard to do any surprizes; we stay in the same place, we go everywhere together and we are strangers in this country, not really knowing what to do. Yet, i can say that celebration was really fun; not surprizing anymore, but more calm, we brought presents together and presents included useful items for the first time:) each one brought to the other a "mug" to share our tea together..

I received this today from my friend The Beast Boy ; my friend was telling us how music and art could be a solution to dialogue between cultures.. thanks to my friend:)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw48XMJvfwk&mode=related&search
here are the song lyrics as The Beast Boy sent them to me, i thought of sharing them with you..
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Those dreams that tie two hearts that will never die
And near the flames
The shadows play in the shape of the mans desire
This desert rose
Whose shadow bears the secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this
And now she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothings as it seems
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Sweet desert rose
Whose shadow bears the secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this
Sweet desert rose
This memory of hidden hearts and souls
This desert flower
This rare perfurme is the sweet intoxication of love
