I look at high heels as just another form of woman mutilation that has as aim the reduction of their power and control, a bit like a modern ‘chinese foot-binding’ (to those of you who don’t know what foot binding is, it was a custom of keeping women’s feet as small as when they were born by binding them. Click here for the full story). OK, I’m exaggerating, must be the pain effect. But what is sure is that next sha3nineh I will be wearing a jogging outfit. Fits the occasion perfectly.
Always think twice of the consequences before answering! Well what can I say, freelancing is a tough teacher 😀 Specially regarding fiscal issues. What is sure is that I will never accept barter again. I’m sure them phoenicians invented money for a very necessary reason!
(P.S. I know someone who’d take the chicken! ;))
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!
Well yes, it wasn’t about any light source…
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! 😀
Sometimes being a designer can be very enriching: we work on the design of books about science, technology, history, and thus we learn a lot. But the REAL torture is actually having to work on a book about vacation and relaxation places while you’re stuck home on a friday night. The visuals of SPA, and COTTAGES, and and.. can actually have a damaging impact on your mental health. I was this close of jumping from the balcony. This only means one thing: I am going to need a real vacation real soon!
It’s all relative. Sometimes making the dishes can seem like an annoying task. BUT… Other times its the only escape from a major ordeal.
As you can see, we got pretty bad news at work today.. Wish us luck (again) with this never-ending eternal project…
Sometimes I wish some things were a joke… Wish me luck I have too much work tonight 🙁
I’m sure all of you who have driven by the Lebanese Highway have noticed the latest political campaign. Well I guess these campaigns have really been targeting – EVERYONE – lately, and by that I mean all levels of IQ, all ages. No brain challenging whatsoever, simple brainwashing-take-you-by-the hand and ‘feed-you-with-a spoon’ messages. I personally felt quite offended to see the exaggerated level of simplicity in the messages of the latest campaign. What do they take us for? If only they invested all those wasted billboards money in teaching the citizens more profitable values – but it’s probably our job to do that.
Careful with the daylight saving time excuse though! Use at your own risk 😀
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.
