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!

    at least i can say that today i forgot everything, forgot my responsibilities for while, life and work and enjoyed living some memories of my childhood back remembering my friends, my family and the good old days.

    Maya thanks! 🙂

    Maya, had we met in 1990, we would have been friends: we could have shared stories of glasses and braces.
    Suggestion: Next Tweet up should be themed after Theme Thursday!!
