  • Traveling back in time

    Checking Twitter at work.. Sad expression

    Sunshine appears above my head

    More transformation. Avatars of old cartoon characters pop up over my head.

    Transformation begins. Maya's metamorphosis to younger days.

    Young Maya watching TV."Go Captain Majed!"

    Suddenly I left the office and went back to the carefree days of watching Cartoons all day...

    Thus, the Zankoulizer was born!


    Here’s the story: it all started when @arzleb changed his avatar to Grandizer. It looked odd but beautiful on its own in the middle of real-faces avatars. Then the trend started spreading, and each started replacing their photo with that of their favourite cartoon! Until @SamerKaram named it to: #ThemeThursday or #Thth. I must say my Twitter feed turned to a colorful page reminiscent of the old days when I would finish studying and watch Captain Majed or a Disney movie… It was a beautiful time travel day! 😉

    I’ll now let you enjoy ‘A whole new world’ from the soundtrack of Aladdin. Good old days 😀

    Cheers!

    I noticed something that perplexed me on my way home. A huge billboard of a Lebanese singer that I remember from my early childhood. She still looks exactly the same (if not younger!). I linked it to a statement that a friend of mine had made earlier during the day: when we see a young person we haven’t seen in a while, and that we remember as a kid, and then (s)he suddenly is a grown-up.  I guess the reverse phenomenon happens with singers.

    In case you were on another planet yesterday, I would like to re-announce that the launching of the book will take place on August 12th, 2009, at Art Lounge at 6:30 PM. You can click here to join the Facebook event. See you there ^^

  • Technology & Communication

    I had trouble communicating during a skype meeting today which led to me naturally shouting as if this was the solution! It reminded me of the KSA days when I would wake up to my mom shouting on the phone while talking to family in Leb. As if shouting would get the voice more efficiently given the distance between the location 🙂

    Now go see on Maw2af.org if I’m there! We’re talking about Lebanese ants today!

    With this, I wish you a lovely day!
