heffff




I hate it when I get used to people; all kinds of people. People I like and people I don’t like much. It’s what they call it in Kuwaiti (el 3ishra) and in Egyptian (3aish oo mal7). It is strange how you feel it with people you didn’t know you cared for.

My first cry in public was when I was 10. She was my English teacher who came for a short period of time to practice teaching. The day she told us that it is time to leave I found myself shedding tears. I remember feeling miserably sad and shocked by her leaving. I loved her so much. You know how some teachers were strict, others may beat, but that teacher was an angel. Maybe because she was still young or still practicing; all I know is that I loved her so much and so did the rest of the class.

I cried too when a fellow employee wanted to leave. His contract was over and there was no renewal. I was feeling sad that I’d miss him being around. But what made me shed tears is when I found an enveloped letter on my desk from him. It was hand written and the content was dramatic. I couldn’t hold my tears and started crying at work. And by that I don’t mean tearing only but crying; crying like a baby.

I feel this way too when I think of traveling. I can’t bare the thought of leaving home, my family and my room. Oh well, even my bath room. I even miss home even when I go to chalet. Some times I spend many hours outside home that I start to miss it. I feel depressed when I think of traveling. I feel choked with tears when my parents drop me at the airport. I still haven’t cried at such occasion. Maybe because I am always emotionally prepared unlike sudden events like the ones mentioned above.

I feel like crying when I see my nephew laughing. I feel like crying when I see my sick grandmother lying for what seems forever in her bed. I feel like crying when grandpa doesn’t remember who I am. I feel like crying when I see my best friend happily married. I feel like crying at weddings even if I didn’t know the bride and groom. And when it’s the wedding of people close to my heart, I feel numb.


My nephew’s hug without me asking for it; is the best thing that ever happened to me. I miss kissing his tiny chubby hands, biting his tummy, and tickling the bottom of his feet.

I miss O, who used to clean our WC at work. It stinks now.
N, I wish you ignore those ignorant people at work; I don’t want you to have a heart attack.
A, I wish he becomes a real man and appreciate you.
Myself, I wish you make up your mind.
I wish to know if my childhood nanny is still alive.


heffff (A Tweety-like kinda heffff)

:) cheer up Flamingoliya,

that's life, maybe you're so nostalgic to people and places, but every now and then you need to solidify your feelings.
I miss a lot of people I know/knew, but still I can’t do anything about it, they’re either unreachable or dead.
I have a motto in life that I imply on others and myself:
ههنا نزلنا ثم ارتحلنا
هكذا الدنيا نزول و ارتحال

Flam .. Sh3end Broke !

As usual .. you express the inexpressible ..

Sometimes I wonder if such feelings are a gift or a curse ..

I don't know ..!

The problem is that u can't change being sensitive 2 such issues ..We are born with it ..

The worst situation that made cry was when I left my previous job .. where I was working with al3anan .. They laughed at me cause I only stayed with them 6 months ... fa shako abchy .. !

Broke
well Broke and Flam are friends and they have the same thoughts ;)

"As usual .. you express the inexpressible .." I am flattered :* I can blabber alot about dramatic issues. Just ask ;) hehe

"life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think" that would be my answer :/

people who worked with you must have been great :) good thing you're friends with al3anan even when you changed jobs :)

Tinky:
In the world we live in today, it seems to be a blessing.
and yes shock, I agree.

Shopa, lets just wish blogspot.com remains our friend forever ;) hehe
