I am NOT telling you my religion because it’s about time we learned in a country like Lebanon that you cannot judge and stereotype a person based on something that, in 99.9% of the cases, (s)he was born with.

Tomorrow is the Lebanese Laique Pride. See you at 11:00am near Ain El Mreisseh.

As for me, if you must know, well I believe in music. It’s the only thing I truly believe in. Here are 2 beauties for you today: Ella’s fantastic Mac the Knife, and Lhasa de Sela’s fantastic Pajaro.

In comparison to last year, it was a much easier experience & I spent the occasion observing others – something I very much enjoy doing [in case you haven't noticed yet]

It’s Monday, and I have a beautiful tune for you. This is another Joe Hisaishi, from the soundtrack of Howl’s Moving Castle. Enjoy and have an amazing week!

I was horrified to see a whole family crossing the highway (autostrade) by foot!! What was the mother thinking? Has common sense disappeared from humanity? She even had a “thinking break” right in the middle of the highway to contemplate whether she should take the papers dropped by her little kid! Suicidal! This is just beyond my understanding, and the scene has been replaying in my head for the last two days. It was that disturbing and does not make sense to me. Thought I’d start the week with some road awareness, we can never get enough of that! Road idiocy is born with humans apparently.

Here’s a song to brighten up your day by my very adored Nick Drake. “Time has told me”. And check the lyrics for extra beauty.

Have a lovely week!
