تعال فككها III

من أكثر اللقطات الي احبها في الحياة هي لقطة حموودي "ولد اخوي" أول ما يدخل البيت في زوارة يوم اليمعه، يركض على محيط الصالة وياخذ له كم لفه وبعدين يقط بروحة في نص الصالة ويصرخ، على حد تعبيرالوالدة "من قمة راسه" : يـــالله! مشتااااقلكم

فلا أملك إلا أن أغني له الأغنية الوطنية: حمووود حموود

رقصات الممر، أو الي يصير لما تكون ماشي في ممر، تاخذ يمين والي يمشي من الجهه المقابلة ياخذ نفس الجهة

تغير الوجهة، والحبيب يغير وجهته، وهكذا حتى يصبح الموقف أشبه بالرقصة، بس سلو موشن، عاشوواا

"إن شالله ما تصير شي لما تكبر"

أقوى دعوة سمعتها في حياتي من أحد يهال العايله، يدعي على صاحبه بعد أن طفح الكيل

وش اسوأ من أنك تطلع ولا شي لما تكبر! الله اكبر عليك! وش هالحقد! هههه

ولا واحد من الاسباب العشرة منطبق، ولله الحمد

أبحث عن كاتب الأبيات، دلوني عليه\ـا، طلبتكم لا تردوني

متـى يا كــرام الحيِّ عينــي تـــــــراكم *** أسمع من تلك الديــــــــار نداكُمُ

امُّر على على الأبوابِ من غير حاجةٍ *** لعلِّي اراكــم او ارى مـن يراكم

بديت أقلق بشدة على مستقبل جبن جلاص، يعني خلص! اختفى؟

خاطرة من النوع الغلج ودمها شوي ثجيل

كنت قد ذكرت في الصفحة التي اعرف بها بنفسي "ولو كان أغلبها غير جدي" بأنني أؤمن بشده أن كل شخص ألتقيته في حياتي أو سألتقي به..حدث أن التقيت بهم وكتب بأن سألتقي بهم لسبب معين يعجر عقلي المادي عن استيعابه – وليس اعتباطا

تمر الأيام وتتأكد لي هذه الحقيقة أكثر وأكثر..تبهرني قبل أن أفهمها، وثم تسعدني

*"أعود بعد شهور لأقرأ ما كتبت لأتفاجأ بأن "الإبداع أعظم وأكرم من مبدعه

فمهما جرت الأمور سلبا أو إيجابا في تعاملاتنا المختلفة معهم خل لنتذكر دايما أن هنالك درس ينتظر، خبرة ستضاف، عبرة عظيمة ستغير منظومة حياتك للأفضل والأحسن

عبارة منقولة من رواية الزهير للكاتب البرازيلي باولو كويليو*

نخفف عليكم الجو شوي، صورة بعنوان "اهتز جيدا قبل الفتح" الله يستر علينا والسامعين قولوا آمين

لا أفهمني...ألهمني الحكمة يا الهي ولا تكلني إلى نفسي مثقال ذرَة

وأخيرا..

الله يديم الابتسامة على ويوهكم والفرحة في قلوبكم

في امان الله..وهلوسات قادمة بقوة في الطريج 

 



#TEDxMuscat

As promised, here's a post on TEDxMuscat: personal take supported with some pictures.

#TEDxMuscat | Ideas Worth Spreading

~ The event was kicked off with HH Sayyid Faisal bin Turki Al Said, Head of Brand Oman Management Unit on May 3rd at the Millennium Hotels and Resorts in Musannah. Right after that, a full day of speeches and TED videos had started. Apart from getting inspired by the speakers, we “fortunately” had some time during breaks to socialize and network. I got to meet my University Business Communication Professor, Dr. Evangelos Afendras who was one of the 8 speakers of that day. It was so overwhelming seeing him on stage! His presentation was totally entertaining and creative!

~ My favorite speakers on that day were Jim Stolze (Dutch) & Eman Bint Akbar (Omani)
وبلا شك!

~ As a matter of fact I know that many people were annoyed of the fact that the event was going to take place in Mussanah (and not in Muscat as the name of the event suggested). But I believe it wasn’t a very bad choice for many reasons (one of them is that they sponsored the event, obviously). But I really love the new Millennium resort, its location, the high-quality facilities and its peacefulness. It’s just a perfect place for such a huge TED event. I was personally glad that the event took place in such a neutral area.

~ I and many other people from the Twitter community in Oman were “tweeting” the interesting parts of the speeches & the TED videos throughout the event. You can go back and check the tweets out under #TEDxMuscat hash tag. And YES! There was a free wireless connection provided in the hall (it couldn’t get any cooler!)

And oh! The event was live-streamed on http://omanweeebelong.com/webtv/ (again, it couldn’t get any cooler!)

~ My not –so-favorite things about TEDxMuscat:

1. The fact that most of the speakers were men (only two female speakers!)

2. The fact that only two speakers were locals. As I strongly believe that we have lots of interesting & talented Omani people who are more than qualified to give some moving and powerful speeches. Was that because the organizers aren’t locals in the first place? Well maybe!

~ On a final note, I think the organizers, speakers & audience proved that TEDxMuscat was a celebration of Oman as a whole, not only Muscat…and not only Mussanah!

What I think about when I think about cycling

*the bicycle’s history*



~ On the night of my birthday, I was totally tired and off mood for some reason (and I hate being tired/weak, btw). I suddenly decided to get out of my bed, get over my laziness and I headed to the living room where my mom spends most of the day. I kissed her forehead and started the desktop PC, read the news online, then started listening to some random music…


My close siblings came in the living room, laughing their heads off, pointing at something that was coming on the way and then they started singing the birthday song…My brother who’s just returned home for holidays was riding a pink bicycle with pink ribbons in the front…That was absolutely the loveliest birthday gift I have ever got!


~ So yah…I have been obsessed about cycling ever since I got my pink bicycle. I would run into the backyard once am back home everyday just to ride it for a while, and once again before and after dinner…I can’t tell you how amazing it felt for the first time in a long time, the way that I honestly feel like taking moment to celebrate my return to it..


I started writing this after a particularly mind-altering cruise in the garden just behind home yesterday, to remind myself why I run to my bicycle on the days I feel tired, or discouraged, or otherwise might not remember

Oh cycling, I could talk about it for hours, I think. It’s such a cheap (but not always easy!) therapy.


I will say that “The Cave” is one of the best to-get-me-going songs I’ve found , and that keeps playing in my head while cycling because of this line, mostly:


“And I’ll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways”


That’s exactly why I like it. :D


When u fail to understand life and people around you, push ur body into movement, listen to your breath, listen to your spirits(!), it opens up so much emotional healing … And remember that no matter what, you still have control over your life…The voice of you praying with every breath you take, and at night when everyone is asleep will never be forgotten, and is definitely heard :)


The End
