    I would absolutely rather watch a romantic comedy, with background music and all, instead of watching two of my friends cuddling in a very personified way. Trust me people, you don’t look CUTE when you over cuddle when your friends are around. Why don’t you try keeping your weirdo pet names and cuddling manners for yourselves? Some privacy always adds value to your relationships!

    Summer is coming soon, and we all need to fit into last year’s swimming suits so it’s the season for sports! It’s  such a pity I had the intention of never stepping in a gym for the rest of my life, because it’s just another system to follow and we already have enough rules… But unfortunately, I think I might be obliged to do so urgently. I was breathless at climbing the stairs to our FIRST FLOOR office this morning… This is serious… And no time for walks or runs in the countryside… What other alternative than the gym machines???

    What’s with all the porn-oriented ads? Is that all we have to offer? Are belly-dancers and nude (or semi-nude) women the only thing that catches our attention? I wonder if the Lebanese people are as sexually-frustrated as the marketing intended for them lets us think. There are millions of possibilities to explore for beautiful attractive visuals that do not necessarily deal with the  ‘femme-objet’ approach. I recall an art director once explaining -her- approach for a poster promoting an electrical item that had a semi-nude female on it: ‘both men and women will look if they see a female nude, even if not for the same reasons, so whenever we integrate a female body presence in our ad, no matter what the ad is, we can guarantee that the audience will be interested’. 

    Well… I’m sure there are MANY other visuals that would attract both men and women and that would be a little bit more mentally-challenging and less basic in their approach. Please advertising people try to make an effort.

And I never get it right from the first (or second or third) time… It makes me feel stupid… What happened to the days where it was just enough to have the username and the password? 😀

    The marriage proposal. An eternal dilemma. Is the future husband supposed to stick to the classical-get-down-on-your-knee-prince-charming- proposal ? or should he try something creative and new. I only know one thing: in our materialistic society, the more it costs, the more effective it will be! So good luck to all you guys out there, start saving money from the day you are born.

    I’m sure all of you courageous chauffeurs who drive on the Lebanese highway witnessed at least once the “kamikaze phenomenon”. I can’t believe people find it logical to cross a highway when there is a bridge few meters away. Also note that I chose to put the rather “happy ending” of this phenomenon on the blog because we don’t want any martyrs in here, but unfortunately this phenomenon usually ends rather sadly.

    RESPECT THE ROAD PEOPLE!

    I don’t get why a lot of people wear their sunglasses in closed – let alone dark – areas. Each time I try to find the source of light that’s bothering them, I end up empty-handed. If you have any suggestions as to why this rite is followed, you’re welcome to make them public! 😀

    I can’t stand it anymore to go to public family places and see this “maid” phenomenon. This modern slavery should be abolished. Since when do kids need constant stranger nannying when their parents are perfectly healthy? Unfortunately, the mothers seem to be more interested in their own sex-appeal rather than taking care of their children, and the fathers seem to be more interested in making loads of cash to spend on showing off  their fellow citizens. This aspect of our society saddens me very much.

    Gift Shops!

     

    We are usually advised to be specific. Specific makes special. I”m not really sure if this applies to gift shops. I”ve had a really hard time finding gifts for friends and family.

    If we want to be specific then, “autant le faire nous-même!”

  • Distribution of lanes on the famous Lebanese Autostrade (highway)

    autostrade

    I am just sick of having to go through this “exhibition of dead and squashed animals” every single morning on my way to work though the lebanese autostrade (highway). Couldn’t they just remove them or clean them ? or even better just stop squashing them! I, Maya Zankoul, call for a fairer division of the lanes on the highway.
