Considering Candles!

Background: At home we face a problem with light bulbs, a bulb last for a month or so. We barely have our living room chandelier with full capacity working.

Note: We never considered eco lights, I don't believe they are environment friendly, considering how to get rid of them!

Yesterday, I went to the supermarket with mom. And regarding the background above, buying light bulbs is a kind of scientific research! So, mom picked one new brand we never tried. There was written that this bulb should last for 9 years and that was tested! At one side of the box was written that this is considered while the bulb is on for 3 hours a day!! And that it is made in Egypt!! So, automatically, we put it back in the row!

Now, I am thinking, whoever wrote this on the box, does he really live in Egypt? Does he know we have 12 hours of night?? How can I use the bulb for only 3 hours a day? Should I use candles the rest of the night or what!!

Ok, why did we gave up on candles? Why did Edison invent this light bulb in the first place?!! If he couldn't see he could use more than one candle you know!!

I am really considering candles! What kind of harm can candles bring? To me or to the environment? I have always loved candles, I love the flickering light, I enjoy the scented ones specially.
I decided to go back to the candle ages, have candlesticks as part of my decorating style. Have as many candles in the room as possible to keep the good lighting. Have a relaxing place to live in and enjoy my life ever after!!

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. Whatever is possible to do first, I will. 1. Another visit to the UK, one that's more organized, and maybe for a longer time 2. Spend some time in Paris, three nights is never enough! 3. 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. I have to drop by each country of the nine, really feel it, breathe it, taste it! 7. Italy, this one will be a long trip, I believe I need to visit every single province there! 8. Bali, Indonesia 9. India...India...India (this one may need a month!) 10. China 11. Planet Japan (Maybe!) 12. Qatar, wanna see the place where I grew up once more :) 13. A trip to the gulf countries in general! 14.

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."

The Prophet ~ Khalil Gibran
