May I just say - what Nancy Agram did, going to Sharm and checking up on the victims and trying in her line of work to help out those who are suffering make me like her even more!!
She Rocks Big Time!
Politicians get together and talk - others take active steps.
So here's for 5 more years of talking, talking and even more talking!

Presidents of Egypt!
Yesterday i looked at the newspaper! I know i said i won't do that anymore but i couldn't help it.
This week candidates from all over Egypt are putting themselves forward to run for the Presedential Elections.
At some point I managed to live a lie and assume there is a fair Election here - and i got really excited about seeing how they will campagin and how i can attend all their speeches and hear about their plans.
But living in La La Land hardly ever lasts - you can ask Bob Marley!
There are 9 candidates sofar! 7 from Parties - and 2 Independent.
Sofar the race is still starting!
Though i usually like to know the ending of a movie beforehand - in this drama, i wish the ending was at least unknown, and at most different.

Hate the news
I hate the news now!
I used to be addicted to reading the newspaper, watching CNN and checking all the websites that are related to news.
Since I read the constitutional amendment a few months back, it felt offended - I found it to be mocking my intelligence.
That is when I stopped reading local newspapers, it reminded me of how my country treats me like I am an idiot.
But my interest in international news was still ongoing.
This past month though I feel the news is bombarding us with London attacks, abducted ambassadors, bombs in London again, turkey, Egypt, and so many more.
And every time I read the news it just gets me depressed.
The first two attacks left me furious, and angry. But after that the rest left me just plain sad.
So my hate towards the news is growing by the second.
I wish I could stop reading the news!

A little honesty could work
So last night I am going out with a few friends. We were supposed to meet at 9:15.
Naturally I was late, for no good reason.
I arrived there at 10:45 and on the way I kept thinking of excuses for my being late, and I decided to try a new approach.
Upon my arrival I told them " I wish I had a better excuse for being late, but I am egyptian"
Surprizingly everyone found it quite amusing so they laughed and I was off the hook.
Sometimes honesty is the best way huh?

Al Salaamu Aleikom
On my daily Metro/Subway/Underground/Tube ride which lasts a minimum of 40 minutes per day, today for the first time i thought - what if this was the last Metro ride i will have.
Images of people trapped in this sardine-like train, and explosions came into my mind, leaving me sadder than ever about what the world is coming to.
And for the first time I will say the following words while thinking about what they actually mean instead of repeating them automatically:
Al Salaamu Aleikom - may peace be with you
