    What am I supposed to do to keep a constantly normal room temperature? It’s not working with me lately. I don’t know if it’s from the AC or from me…

    On a side note, I want to congratulate my friend KRYSTIAN (yes, written wrong like this 🙂 ) because today is the day he knew he got accepted for masters in his dream college! Mabrouk Kry you deserve the best!!

    P.S. I might be a bit slower in posting this week, I am sooo overloaded with work. I really want to keep you updated, but please don’t make me feel bad if I don’t post for one day.. you need to understand the pressures of daily life ! Doesn’t mean I love you less 😉 !! Have a lovely day 🙂

    So, ladies and gentlemen, that was my mini-adventure of the week-end. The story I just told you is true!! Two thing I have learned: 1- I am NEVER EVER taking another stranger on board… 2- I am NEVER EVER taking another stranger on board… And this whole ‘guessing your history from your family name’ is a skill I will never get! Wishing you all a lovely week! 🙂

    I was very disappointed to see the latest addition to our endless series of billboard elections. Why is the Lebanese woman always stereotyped to the fashion-victim bimbo?  I personally did not identify with the billboards. I would like to see smarter women represented, who are not judged by the way they dress or the way they look, but for their ideas. Moreover, the statement accompanying the female-version billboard does not contain any hint of intelligence in it: she will vote for the color of her lipstick. What a wise choice! This is very repugnant. And please people don’t get all offended now I don’t have anything against your party 🙂  it’s just that I find those ads truly repulsive. Better for all parties to stop advertising themselves already, it seems like they’re out of ideas…

    Enough. Is. Enough! I know it’s the elections, and I know that you all want to win, and I know that you’re doing the best to pass out your messages (Billboards, Radio, TV, internet, TELEPHONES! , greeting cards, etc.) But I think that by now, we all got your points very very clearly printed into our brains, and I mean it: no need for more propaganda. Let us miss you a bit, give us time to think about all the campaigns you’ve poured into our brain before the d-day! Ever heard of reverse psychology? You’re doing exactly what you should be doing if you wanted most of the population to go for the voting abstinence option. Just give us a break (at least give us Sunday off). Thank you.

    How much information can the human brain simultaneously carry? I wish there was some kind of external hard disk for our brains… Lately I have so much on my mind that my short term memory is not exceeding 3 seconds! Oh vacation where are you?
