Someday

Posted by: Zandzz on: January 5, 2010

Just heard the song on the radio in the morning and it kinda hit a nerve and is so consistent with the mood I woke up with. Interesting lyrics.

You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you wanna do is cry

And maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

Now we wait
And try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind
You can run
And when everything is over and done
You can shine a little light on everything around you
Man it’s good to be someone

And maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now that
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

I don’t wanna wait
I just wanna know
I just wanna hear you tell me so
Give it to me straight
Tell it to me slow

‘Cuz maybe someday we’ll figure all this out
We’ll put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to just to feel better now
Maybe someday we’ll live our lives out loud
We’ll be better off somehow, someday

‘Cuz sometimes we don’t really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over, again

‘Cuz sometimes we don’t really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over, again

I don’t want an acid nor an ice cube on my wound. I just want to give it the time to heal.

Al HamdulelAllah Tag

Posted by: Zandzz on: September 18, 2009

Well I’ve been tagged by Brownie this tag forr quite a while but now I think it goes perfectly with the time being almost at the end of Ramadan and all. And actually I needed to post a similar post because I’ve come to realize a lot of blessings that I took for granted. So here’s my list.

1- Well the first thing that comes to my mind since they are hurting already are ” My Legs ” – yes my legs. I had a problem with my foot for quite a while that almost even prevented me from driving at some points and I couldn’t definitely take any of my walks. So now I know I’ve been taking them for more than granted and I hope they come to their normal state ba2a : ) : Really grateful.

2- My Mom – I simply don’t know how I could’ve lived without her. – My word would be : Protection

3- My Grandpa- I’m happy that I had a person like that in my life. He’s just wonderful, I just wish I had more time with him. My word would be: Educated

4- My Best Friend – She’s amazing. She knows exactly how I think and what I like. She’s very considerate and smart. She does more than listening as she has to bear with me with the me-before-talking phase, almost every time, which – and take it from me- is very hard. She gives me loads of advice. My word: Sharing.

5- My friends – You would think it’s the same point – but no I had to dedicate a specific point to my best friend she really deserves it :P But what I mean here are not the close ones. Recently it happened that I’ve been really down and what really got me out of it was just a simple chit chat with one who I consider a dear friend. Sometimes you just need someone to talk to without explaining all the hassle or them wanting to know all the hassle. They would just comfort you and give you advice. My word: Friendship.

6- My Education- I feel blessed because of my education that I believe gave me the opportunity to understand more and appreciate more and take more differences in and accept them, it helped me to be the person I am. My word: education.

7- My community and work environment – I’m blessed for having a community where I don’t feel alienated or cornered and helped me let all what’s on my mind out or at least I can do that whenever I want. My work environment is also a very open one with loads of differences but what’s good is that it all dissolves in it with no discrimination what so ever. My word: equality.

8- My car- I just thank God that it bears with me with all the atrocious things I do to her. My word: Thankful

9-My childhood and teenage years – although they weren’t the perfect ones, but they made me who I am, they made me stronger and gave me the chance to understand more about people and life. They also saved me the hassle of going through the silly teenage problems I’ve always heard about. My word: Experience

10- And last but not least I’m blessed with God and for my faith in Him and for His mercy and my belief in it. My word: Mercy.

Well writing this post made me remember a thousand things I can be thankful for. So as a conclusion I can say I feel blessed for being who I am and for all what I have and what I don’t have, what I am and what I’m not, what I’m gaining and what I’ve already lost. I’m really thankful for everything. :)

Thanks for the tag and since I’m already terribly late and everybody I can think of has already received this tag I’m tagging everybody who’ve come across this. Even if you don’t have a blog, just write them down, they are worth it.
And for the rules, well, go for the very inspiring post of ibhog who started it all :) )

Enjoy the few left days of Ramadan
and Have a veryy Happy Eiiiiiiiid isA :)

Forgiving and forgetting..

Posted by: Zandzz on: September 3, 2009

I’m surprised at myself sometimes. I really feel like I’m two ppl or even more. I don’t really forget, especially the harm that ppl do. But ain’t this the case with almost everyone. I don’t forget ppl who have been good to me and ppl who are caring or considerate or respectable because I so much believe they are a few and you should feel lucky you met them because they are the gems in your life that you should really treasure. And although I don’t forget those who harmed me nor the harm they did but I rarely keep grudges and deep down I don’t really seek revenge or even think it’s a good idea. But what really surprises me is when I find myself keeping an old grudge and not letting go of it despite the years and despite everything I’m going through. I thought maybe I’m keeping grudges to those who caused me a permanent harm or damage, but I don’t find this is the case. I have forgiven ppl who have done me permanent damage before, or at least I’m not keeping a grudge for them, and I still think that if they haven’t been that way I might have been in a better place right now. But there are just these ppl who I really can’t forget what they did and I can’t really forgive them and I feel I’m keeping a grudge for them despite all those years. How can I still feel this way after almost 7 years? Why haven’t I forgotten yet?! To me it’s just a mystery. I really do forget easily and I believe everything starts small except for anger it starts big and diminishes with the power of time, and this is what’s surprising me. I always believed time was so powerful that it even makes you forget that you loved someone that much, it heals wounds and it even helps you get over a harsh break up, it makes you let go and it can even make you someone else. But is there really some things that are so powerful, so powerful they can defy the power of time. And if there are such things how can we deal with them then if it’s only with such a blessing such as time, that we forget our wounds and misery. Do we live imprisoned in our memories even if we want to forget them, even if we pretend we did get over them. Even if we want to live the illusion that everything is just as normal as anything. I have great faith in God, I know he gave us the gift of forgetting and I know maybe there are other blessings I just haven’t discovered yet.

On another note: Happy Ramadan everyone. : )))

Blog Freeze

Posted by: Zandzz on: August 16, 2009

Well at first I felt it’s been a biiiig while since I last wrote anything. I decided to write what happened and saved it to a draft and now reading it, it appeared so irrelevant right now. A lot has happened in the past month but today it just seems that it all came to a halt, or at least this is what I pretend it did. A while ago I felt that only this blog did freeze and I had lots of things going on but I was unable to write them or even to remember them. Now I feel my life itself has frozen such as my blog. A million things are happening everyday but I’m just unable to take them in. It’s like I’m in one of those clips where the singer is just steady there and all the ppl with the background behind them is changing in a fast-forward trend. I just feel like I need everything to stop or at least stop to me I want to go back to my bubble, shut out everybody, have a chance to grasp all of what’s happening to me and to the world and maybe I will come back sometime later. Seems just impossible right now, well of course it seems impossible anytime but actually I used to be able to do it before. I go to my bubble shut out everything and everybody, I take my time and then I go out as good as new. Now I can seem to do that. I just want it all the freeze like me or my blog. But I know it won’t, life waits for no one and definitely stops for no one. Well, just have to wait then for me to go back to my normal self before it’s too late.

P.S. I just want to say that I feel very grateful for everybody who gave me advice and tried to help. I really am grateful and thankful I have ppl like you in my life.

Today ..

Posted by: Zandzz on: June 14, 2009

Today was the first time I realized I’ve changed. I don’t know if it’s a good step or is it just in the step of being the person I would totally hate.
I’ve always thought one shouldn’t change the behavior they know is right and good just because other ppl are behaving badly. It’s their problem they are bad and it won’t be their problem that you are changing and to the worse.
A few weeks ago somebody made me change. I’m not changing my beliefs but what made this necessity to change is that I suddenly realized that to be protected in this era one shouldn’t be kind or forgiving. One should hold grudges and take revenge else most ppl will take you for granted and most likely hurt more again and again. I’ve never felt that it’s a human nature to hurt one another for no apparent reason what so ever, not even to move ahead or look better, I realized they sometimes just do it for the fun of it. I’m not playing the victim or trying to be one. I’m just trying to make sense of a world that has gone out of control.
Today I said what I wanted to say at the time I wanted to say it. What’s new is that I will not regret it. I won’t regret seeing anybody or going anywhere. I won’t feel attached either, to anybody or anyplace. I will just have fun do what I enjoy and that’s it. I know there are a lot of flaws in that plan but I will carry it out anyway. I will be rude when it’s necessary and I won’t look sweet or cute anymore. I will be indifferent and I will look indifferent.
Well this is the plan. I know I won’t carry it out exactly as it is. I know there will be mistakes and I know I might definitely edit it someday, but at least today I felt I was on the plan. This means I’ve really learnt my lesson and I’ve passed the exam and I can pass it again and again.
Today I realized that holding grudges and acting upon them is a skill and doesn’t come naturally to everyone.

A time..

Posted by: Zandzz on: May 18, 2009

There is a time when people will sympathize with you and even though they don’t say it but every single action the take just screams ” ya 7aram “. Well you’ll have to deal with it and be grateful anyway.

Another day, another lesson…

Posted by: Zandzz on: May 15, 2009

Yesterday was more than a horrible day bshwaya. It started off with me waking up to a horrible migraine at 6 a.m. I had to go to work in a couple of hours and i couldn’t really sleep. The next scene, I’m at work, I have a meeting which ended in a way that I think is a definite message for me to move and gave me a clear vision of what i have to do exactly at least for the next 6 months. A few minutes after that meeting I receive a phone call telling me my mom isn’t ok and I have to go take her home. I go get her back and then go back to work. Had to work for the few hours left then went to out to go get a gift for a friend. Well the day ended and I wasn’t feeling as bad as I felt earlier. I felt everything that happened that day made something or another clearer to me. I ended up feeling blessed anyway. Blessed that I saw the lesson as it is and that I noticed the signals and that I still can do something about it and that after all it’s not too late.

Bummer !!

Posted by: Zandzz on: April 25, 2009

Last week was a total bummer for me. It was to be a refreshing vacation after a looong stressful and disappointing weeks on end, well unfortunately it was not. It wasn’t the refreshing week end as i don’t feel refreshed lel asaf. I couldn’t stick to my schedule as planned, partly because of the heat wave and partly because I had a million things to do. And I hope this all ended today when I was supposed to wake up early and go enjoy the day, I missed it all because of niether my mobile nor my usual alarm clock – which i rarely use which means it was important that I wake up early- rang on time. Sa7ee7 the mobile was my fault because of the daylight savings thing and that’s what I always do adjust it and then come back to find that I forgot to adjust the pm, am thing, but you, the normal old fashioned alarm clock, well I have no excuse for you!! And yes I put in on the ON mode, and yet it didn’t ring. I hope this is the end of this bumming week. I still feel blessed el 7amdullelah tab3an and about today I woke up only really thinking that it’s just not meant to be and فدر الله و ما شاء فعل. I’m still grateful for this week el7amdolleah, I did things which I don’t usually do which cuts the routine of my life a bit. I took a break from those ppl I see everyday, and there was Sham el nessim which in a way or another makes me happy although I don’t usually like these events. And I feel blessed because I was able to take this vacation in the first place tab3an with all the circumstances at work.
Having all of this written, I feel relieved, blessed and grateful. We really sometimes take a lot of things for granted. They are simple small things but they are the most important and without them we might not enjoy a lot of things in life.

زعلانة

Posted by: Zandzz on: April 11, 2009

زعلانة قوي من الدنيا .. زعلانة قوي من الناس .. و زعلانة قوي من نفسي
