565) El 7okoma wel Gama3a !

For the first impression you may think that this is a political post about the government and el ekhwan, but actually it is about wives!

In short: 

1. Why do a significant number of Egyptian men when they talk about their wives, they say: El 7okoma or El Gama3a? 

2. Why don't they just say Meraty?!!!

564) Their Laughter, & Our Tears!

How can their laughter, bring us close -actually into- tears!

Would you please thank God and be statisfied with what you have... 

Be ambitious and try to get more but consider the more as a bonus. Your life shouldn't be planned on the bonus, you happiness shouldn't depend on the bonus. Don't let yourself go after the temptation of endless power and money, and know that with everything you get, there is something you let go of, so it is better to let it go yourself!

Real Happiness is in giving, not only getting!

563) Condolences to President Mubarak!

I am really sad for the death of Mohamed Alaa Mubarak (12 years) the grandson of President Mubarak. Although Mubarak's regime has done lots of faults and I wish the day will come and see it down, but when it comes to the death of a child, I find myself extremely sympathising with the ruling family.

May God bless all our children.

562) FUN ::: A Tale of Two Girls !!

Last week, Tamer was in Cairo and we had breakfast together in Cilantro. We were sitting close to the restroom. While we were sipping our coffee we found 2 girls (early 20s) going together into the restroom (single restroom)! At this point we weren't paying much attention.

Then they spent more than 20 mins together, and when 2 little girls were bored from waiting, they started knocking on the door, till it was partially opened. The little girls was kind of astonished for 10 seconds, then looked to each other and left quickly!!!! Now, we were really paying attention!

Then when the 2 girls were leaving, another 2 girls were entering and passing by the restroom, and gave the first couple a VERY weird look!! At this point we went nuts wondering what is going on and we missed!!

Tamer and I were really wondering about:

1. Why the hell 2 girls go together to a single bathroom?

2. What did the 2 little girls see and made then run away?

3. Why were the entering 2 girls looking at them this way?

P.S. Please don't tell us it is non of your business coz it is a public place, and it seemed that we were the only people who didn't get what is going on!

561) How much do you Love yourself ?!

I was wondering, how far do we love ourselves?

Do we love it more than anything in the world?
Do we love it to the extent that we can sacrifice anything for its sake?
Do we love it so much but less than other things that we can sacrifice ourselves for?
Do we love as we love other things?
Do we love it the least?
or Do we love it Not?

What is right? ... if you love yourself so much you will be accused of being selfish and if you don't love yourself, you won't be able to give love to others.. I personally see that we should love ourselves first, and build on this love to develop winning relations with others; i.e loving ourselves but not on the expense of others..

559) Obama Chooses Egypt !!

What does it mean that Obama after more than 100 days of thinking choose Egypt to address and reconnect the Muslim world? 

Does this mean that the US see a potential in Egypt to rise and take its abdicated role again?

Does this mean that the US will ignore the authoritarian ruling issues that were the main point of conflict with the Bush admin.?

Does this mean that Egypt will be the bridge between the East and West? 

Last and not least; does this mean that we will have June 4th as a vacation?! as having the US president in Cairo means 1 thing: COMPLETE PARALYSIS and it is better to stay home. Ya Rab make them decide to do it in Sharm :)

558) The Female Rules When She Rules !!

Although it is fun to read but I stopped at it for a long time, and I told myself that if most of my audience are females, they can help me to know if that is true or not!!

Mohaly

I have got the following on email; FEMALE RULES:

1. The Female always makes THE RULES. 
2. THE RULES are subject to change without notice. 
3. No Male can possibly know all THE RULES. 
4. If the Female suspects the Male knows all THE RULES, she must immediately change some or all of THE RULES. 
5. The Female is never wrong. 
6. If it appears the Female is wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding caused by something the Male did or said wrong. 
7. If Rule #6 applies, the Male must apologize immediately for causing the misunderstanding. 
8. The Female can change her mind at any given time. 
9. The Male must never change his mind without the express, written consent of The Female. 
10. The Female has every right to be angry or upset at any time. 
11. The Male must remain calm at all times, unless the Female wants him to be angry or upset. 
12. The Female must, under no circumstances, let the Male know whether she wants him to be angry or upset. 
13. The Male is expected to read the mind of the Female at all times. 
14. At all times, what is important is what the Female meant, not what she said. 
15. If the Male doesn't abide by THE RULES, it is because he can't take the heat, lacks ackbone, and is a wimp. 
16. Any attempt to document THE RULES could result in bodily harm. 
17. If the Male, at any time, believes he is right, he must refer to Rule #5

557) The Flu Century !

If you noticed; since the start of this century, we have been dealing with a new flu or respiratory disease or epidemic every couple of years: Sars, Chinese Flu, Bird Flu, Swine Flu.... Tab ne3mel eih!

I am not a doctor and I don't know why does such diseases happen, but I am really worried about our ability in Egypt to contain it.

Rabena yostor!
