Some say that time heals and every new day ebbs your pain a little more. Well maybe it does, but what is it that I feel when I wake up every morning and count another day to the last one I saw my father? What is it that reminds me of a new thing that I wish I had done or said differently? What is it that makes me take a deep breath and try not to tear up every time I see a father holding his

In my Oral Skills class we played a "game": say a word and a name of a classmate and they have to say another word that "apparently" pops up in their heads after they've heard your word.

There are some things that you need to say but just can’t say, not expected to say – otherwise you will be labeled as a rude unethical person – but somehow we manage to say them in a different, more manipulating way which might end up to the point or just somewhere else. In less philosophical words: you are not expected to tell someone that you hated their attitude in the graduates gathering the

Second chances… Moments that we don’t get to have too often and opportunities to try again and do things right, this is probably what makes them appreciated in our lives, but we don’t really come to think about them unless we are asked to or if we try. Well, I was somehow kindled to do so and it was well worthwhile. I have been volunteering for an art workshop conducted by American artist,

Who am I? What am I? Where am I? are questions we might have asked, but Why am I? is a sentence fragment, and a question hardly ever asked! We study to get good grades, work to earn a living, connect and socialize to be elated and not left alone and we pave a style for our lives; make our rules and our non-rules and we live… but we forget to seek the true reasons behind us; why are we? We face

Note that the important thing is not the fact that it's the largest Christmas tree in Jordan but the fact that there is actually one! lol I love it, very very cheerful :D the pics in the dark turned out really bad, because it was too cold for me to put my gloves off to change the camera settings.

July 25th 2005 was a very cheerful day to me; it was the day I got my driving license. I was on top of the world that day and, please note that, I even cried (drama) For a couple of months after, I was not allowed to have my own car or drive to far places alone. But I really enjoyed those little alone drives around my house, especially in the evening with my cup of mocha and the soft breeze…
