Mounir...

Excited, I've always wished to attend a Mounir concert. And, finally, it was time, a good chance, a good company. Heard the news, 30 000 tickets were already booked. What a number! Made it even more exciting. Well, 30 000, I could imagine how this will look like; sweat, alcohols, marijuana!! What I didn't expect of a big star like Mounir, being late for 2 hours! Thousands of people, standing in their places, on the beach for two long hours, just waiting for him to show up! No need to describe how boring it was; back pain, children crying, even breathing was difficult! Too much!!

Fireworks start, and he was there, on stage, FINALLY! I can't describe the moment. Suddenly, I forgot all the pain! Though, I didn't have the chance to see the man, out of all the crowed, I could feel him standing there on the stage. A big mountain standing strong! What character, what energy, what experience. I never imagined I would feel that, never did I see such a strong character in any of the concerts I attended. Just a moment, and I was totally in.

Enjoying the concert wasn't only about the music I was listening to, or the great person singing with that sweet sensitive voice, or the beautiful lyrics written by a real human! I enjoyed watching those thousands of Mounir clones. They copied all his gestures, his body language. They learned the music and lyrics by heart! Everybody was singing. Everybody was jumping, a lot of energy was in the air! Everybody was high, including me, I don't believe it was just the marijuana!!

Wondering, how this man could reach such success, and keep it for all those years, he's been into that business for more than 30 years. So easy to answer, LOVE! He sings from the heart, to the heart. His voice creeps so smoothly to touch every single heart it reaches. The beautiful lyrics he chooses, represents real humans! The true Egyptian music style, that you can never hear anywhere else!

I find it a unique experience. And, I'm ready to go through all the pain, to enjoy it all over again!

My dream trips :)

I decided to write down my dream trips, since I add more to that every now and then, I'm afraid I will forget something. I really wish to do those trips before I die :). I won't sort them.

Angkor, Cambodia! 4. Latin America, didn't decide which countries yet, but for sure I have to drop by Peru to visit a friend there 5. Aswan 6. A trip along the Nile till I reach lake Victoria.

What a WONDERFUL world!

On Tuesday, February 3, 2009 Send love, receive love!! This is what I experienced this year. As everyone knows, today happened to be my birthday! And, for my surprise, I got the highest number of birthday wishes ever!! I even got wishes form someones that I never expected they will!! The thing, that NEVER happened before! NO words can tell how happy I felt for those wishes. YOU all made my day :)) Though, I was wondering, why this year specially, what happened, what is the change?!! I kept wondering. Before, yes, I always loved everyone around me, never hated anyone. I know, I was too busy before with the much trouble I lived in. Maybe I didn't have much time to turn to people around me. I know this year was different, I started to concentrate more on people. But, still I don't believe this is the reason why. Later on, after a lot of thinking and wondering and remembering, I remembered that in the past few days, while attending a course for PHE, we did some exercise, an ex...

The easy path or the right path?

We are frequently challenged in life, life would ask a question and throw many answers from which we have to choose only one. By human nature, we tend to choose the easiest answer, which is unfortunately the wrong answer. You were challenged in the first place to grow, to learn something new about life or about yourself. It is a chance that life offers you to mature, to become a better version of you. Choosing the "easy" answer, or path won't take you anywhere. You will only keep running in spirals and you will have to face the same question again. When life throws a challenge in your way, take your time, think, find which of them makes you most uncomfortable. That is the right answer...the right path. All you need to do then is take the "leap of faith"...and before you know it all your fear will be gone, and everything becomes under control. Never let fear choose for you!
"Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make you naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks. He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast."
