Random Feelings
I have not written a valid post for a while now. I have been up and down for the last few weeks.
I do not even know where to start.
I’ve been ill for 6 days now; I have a really bad flu and fever. My nose was so congested for the past 4 days and I’ve not been able to breathe normally. Of course the office (the manger in fact) required a sick leave note from the doctor. Although I knew what was wrong with me, but I had no choice but to go to the doctor. I didn’t who are the good doctors here to go to, and to be honest I did not care; I knew what to take and already had started taking the pills. My colleague at work had told me about this new center in Crystal Plaza where you can register for them for 200 DHS only and have as many consultation and check ups you need. I went there, paid the money and ‘consulted’ the physician. Had to pay another 150 DHS for a sinus X-Ray, about 200 DHS for some more pills, in total that note cost around 550 DHS, for only two days leave. Anyway, I paid the money and moved on.
Those two days granted me a chance to realize how lucky I am to have my two moms around. And NO I don’t have lesbian parents, the other mom is actually granny, she’s been a really mother to all of us. She’s been here for almost 10 days now, for a visit. I realized that every moment you spend with a loved one is a blessing and a treasure you should hold on to. I feel repentant that I hadn’t cherished my loved ones before as one should do.
Change of subject. Relationship.
Another major event happened during the last week. I’ve ended up a relationship with someone I loved. I will have to be discreet about the reasons behind this for the sake of the other party.
Change of subject. Work.
At work, things have been really chaotic lately. We had another major operation to launch, I was in charge of a big part of it, let aside the continuous process of hunting, screening, selecting, interviewing, second-interviewing, recruiting and training new staff. No doubt the two days leave I took put a hell lot of pressure on my neck for the rest of the week to catch up with and sort things out. We were lucky enough and now have a new agent coming next week to join
Change of subject. Fayrouz.
I don’t know why, but I have never liked Fayrouz when I was back home in Syria. Out of the sudden now, whenever I hear a song of hers, tears rush into my eyes and start going out in public. Maybe it’s not Fayrous herself, maybe what she represents. I guess it represent Syria for me, in a way. Whenever I listen to her, I start recalling these images in my head which had nothing to do with Fayrouz, none of these images included Fayrouz singing in the background. I know Fayrouz is not ‘Syrian’ though I bet she’s got more fans in Syria that she does in Lebanon or any other country. Suddenly Fayrouz is my new favorite getaways nowadays.
Change of subject. Lebanon.
Most probably most of you guys have heard about what’s going on in Lebanon. I don’t want to take sides now and tell who’s wrong and who’s not, but what’s happening now is shameful and sad. I can’t believe that civil war would actually get ignited again; I hope not, Lebanon and Lebanese people deserve to live in peace now after what they had to go through. Love and peace for Lebanon.
Change of subject. A new diet?
I am sick of myself. When I went to the clinic for a check up, the nurse did some routine check ups for blood pressure, temperature, weight and height, pulse and some other stuff. I was stunned to know that I gained 3 kilos than the last time I had weighed myself, which was not long back. The overweight thing is really starting to be a serious issue now, I can’t climb the stares comfortably, my back and knees always hurt, I started to build a second chin under my chin, let aside all the embarrassing shopping trips which now are really a hassle. I am looking now for a new diet I could actually start up without giving in after three days.
Big sigh now… I am sorry for my unfortunate readers who had to read all of this.
Forgive my grammar and spelling mistakes if any.
Peace out.

you are lucky that you have a granny that can be a mom, actually;)
as for the relationship man, i think i know that it is difficult to end a relationship, and it is even more harsh if you have feelings for this person, so stay still ..
you're 100% right that Syrians are attached to Fairouz the most, among Arab peoples. it is a blessing that the Syrian citizen, still cares.
(i wonder if you took a look at Syrian Brit last post, you might be interested)
as for Lebanon, i hear you, peace for Lebanese indeed.
i think you'll do fine Rami, you are conscious about what you feel, what you should do and throwing effort on "changing" patterns.
i know you'll do just fine..

No wounder why I did not hear from you in the last few days, I hope you are feeling better. By the way, your page was not working, every time I tried to access the page, I failed...
for relationships, they come and goes, and might come again..just be good..I been through it lately...
Fairuz is the icon for our music, when you feel home-sick we turn our emotions to Fairuz to take care of us..she is a pain killer :)
I am glad that you have your granny, I wish I still have mine, she meant a lot for me...she was a first mom, I used to bother my mom saying that...hahaha...
I hope you will feel better soon, I mean you must be better soon, we miss you funny jokes, and your bright ideas.....
