Friends for Benefits.

I have grown up to the fact that friendship is sacred. No one can interfere between friends and the bond is to be kept forever. I guess that was a "Fairy Tale" because no friendship is as pure as the criteria set for it. No girl is as pure as snow white or as beautiful as Cinderella's soul. My friends were many and I chose those who taught me harsh lessons. I can't move on without stopping at amazing memories that strengthened our bond. However, the only thing I regret is my "dedication" to my friends.  I was there for them in exactly every moment of their lives. The bitter sweet times were plenty but I was the run away every time. I finally realized that I was their shelter whenever the rain was hard on them. When this shelter had no more wings to protect them....They ran away. No one was there to help me regather my pieces and build my self again. I just built myself on the ruins of their Friendship.  Although it kills inside to see their memories from a far away place, I still try to open my wings wide. Friends for Benefits! Yes they are!!

    friendship is something sacred for me, God blessed me with friends for friendship not for benefit, and I am really glad that I had the opportunity to meet them because they were, and still an essential part in my life, I can't imagine my life without them; I really ask you to re-consider the whole friendship issue, you might had bitter experiences with few, but don't ever generalize the outcomes, because out there still lies uncountable opportunities to meet true friends :) .

    Shaikha you are absolutely right! There's nothing called friends like family, this is just day dreaming! No matter how strong the friendship is at a certain point no one would stand for u and subject themselves to hard situations just to help you, whenever they have the chance they will run away. When we talk about sacrifice it's only what our family and our beautiful half who completes us would do!

    Dear friend, according to many life experiences concerning friends I came up with a conclusion: friends that grow and walk through ur life from chilhood are the ones who stay with you a life time. There is another convulsion that I came up with when you meet a person in the right timw he needs u or u needs him you will sure become friends. I got introduced to.many friends and they left the momnet I need them! How it kills as u said. But when I was an adult I met you, salma, suzan and basma. I was in a stage that I was.feeling so lonely I needed a shoulder to cry in, a hand to lift me up. And from.that moment we.lived the together, cried and laughed and we are still friends!

External Beauty.

Once you ask someone about "Beauty", he would reply that beauty comes within the soul. People would run into this answer but they actually form first impressions about a certain person by analyzing his external appearance. Studies have showed that people are usually attracted to tall persons and deny the friendship of shorter ones at the beginning. Research has gone deeper into analyzing what facial expressions would help their holder in establishing quicker relationships. I was surprised when I read about a study that concluded people with wide pupil of their eyes attract more viewers. Some people would eventually prefer the internal beauty and deny the external one. I believe the problem lies in our definition of beauty and the criteria we follow when judging a person -male or female- as beautiful or not. Who ever said that a fat person does not fit the criteria or a red headed boy is not beautiful? Each one has a special kind of beauty away from any ugly criteria that wo...

Authenticity of EDUC 560!!

Educ 560 might seem a simple code that would mean nothing to others but a course. While others are thinking of what they should do to pass this course, my major thoughts revolved around the things I can do to my students and how to benefit myself. Each time that I left the class, I thought about how to use the business cards as ice breaking activity for my little students. I have also found a nicer way to publish students' work through posters or newsletters that can show it all at the first glance. And is there a better place to spread your work worldwide than a blog?  Nothing would last in your memory unless you fetch its use in your real life.

Smart Phones!

Image
I really miss sitting around the table or in a certain place without clicking and pecking in our "SMART" phones. It is impossible to see people gathering without chatting. But what kind of chatting? They keep their heads down and their eyes on a glowing screen for sometimes silly reasons. These advances seem to be so tempting but it doesn't mean that we should give up social life for the sake of social media. I feel sorry sometimes when I see people lacking the social skills to a degree that they can only start a conversation through "Whats-app" or any other social media. When using technology and smart phones for beneficial reasons, no harm can happen. Yet, people of different age levels are using this technological revolution as an escape from real life. I miss seeing a child playing in the mud instead of smashing a candy in " Candy Crush". Are smart phones making us smarter or are we losing part of our intelligence? That part that has to do with t...
