حلقة اليوم من مسلسل وطن ع وتر

حلقة اليوم من مسلسل وطن ع وتر

وطن ع وتر

وطن ع وتر برنامج مدته لا تتجاوز الـ 15 دقيقه يذاع يوميا على قناة فلسطين الساعه 7:30 ... من بطولة : عماد فراجين , منال عوض , خالد المصو

برأيّ يعتبر هذا العمل من أكثر الأعمال اتقانا و جذبا على تلفزيون فلسطين, وطبعا كعمل فلسطيني على مستوى مختلف عن أية أعمال فلسطينية محلية , جريء تماما, كوميدي بامتياز , يظهر حالة الفلسطينين و قضاياهم المختلفه على كافه الأصعده دون أي تجميل للواقع ..

الثلاثي " إن استطعنا القول " عماد,منال و خالد بالفعل أشخاص موهوبين و أنا شخصيا حضرت مسرحية غزة - رام الله و أداؤهم كان فعلا أكثر من رائع, يعني كتير طبيعي و بسيط و غير متكلّف أبدا

رح أتركو مع مقدمة المسلسل , طبعا الحلقات مش كلها نازله على النت بس في إلهم حروب على الفيسبوك اذا بتحبو تبقوا على إطلاع

و شكرا جزيلا :P

I just can't get over it

..yes sadly.

I just can't get over it,it is Ramadan 7th ,and SIMPLY I can't get over it !!

Last friday my dad arrived from Palestine,and we waited him to come with us to do the shopping since dad knows more about "meat stuffs" than mum !! (and yes he got the cash :D) anyways I have no idea why dad just {Enjoys} to do shopping at Carrefour !! and so "we" (dad,mum,my brother and I) went to ugly Carrefour around 8:30 pm.

The traffic was starting from Mecca Street ending at CityMall/Carrefour parkings !! I was depressed .I wanted to go home,seeing that much of human beings,poping up infront of your face is really ANNOYING !

countless humans,noises,bumping shoulders all way long,people wont even give you some space to move !! ugly smells everywhere !! Carrefour was a big mess that day !! ouffftt !!

I WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE

we were divided into two teams,first of all we didnt find a shopping cart,seriously there wasn't even one single cart in the line !!! I was like ok what's next ?! we waited till they brought some and unfortunately entered SOUK AL JOM3A ! I swear to God rice,sugar and flour shelves were E M P T Y I swear !! mum and I started laughing because that was totally crazy,eno wal !!

Oh and people there were like in a picnic,a mother along with 4-5 wicked kids from different ages, crying and screaming,mums were beating their kids cruely actually !! eno I just want to understand why do u bring your little ones if you are planning to kill them when you do ur shopping,IT IS NOT FUN AT ALL. staring at each others carts,carts accidents,ya welliiii that made me go nuts ,some walking slowly as if there is no one but them shopping and others used to stop in the corridors as if they were in a museum,tab ya 3ammi leave some space so I can just pass eh !!

1 hour and 30 mins of torture

we didn't buy most of our stuffs,we waited in the line for about 15 mins,I came back home with a bad headache

what I've witnessed is a major question mark ...and from my own point of view it indicates some kinda psychological problem that our community is suffering from.

finally

Actually I can't believe myself !! I am finally writing on my blog. I was NOT busy,I was NOT away,I was NOT even studying,I was NOT doing anything at all,It's just that I was .. umm ..absent-minded !

Yes I was completely absent-minded

I've been in weird situations,I met some great people,I heard funny and meaningless stories,I had arguments and fight with some idiots.I really wanted to blog about'em all but again I was NOT in the mood to blog !

well Ramadan Kareem y'all,I hope you all have managed to survive the heat and the hunger during your daytime.The first day was really unbearable,but thank God we dont have to go to college till after Eid ..yupppy finally something FIXED

The Tv is like a non-stop marathon,surfing the channels is sth not that preferable since you watch the same series here and there,I swear it is so annoying,I mean till now I haven't seen a serie that grabbed my attention,except for YAWMEYAT WANEES (season 6) cuz it really brought me back to my childhood

I need to leave I will blog soon ENSHALLAH

The Palestine Youth Orchestra

Last night was definitely unforgettable (who can aslan !!) It was my very first time to attend The PYO (Palestine Youth Orchestra) and I really really loved it,and the voice of Reem Talhami just took it to a higher level

I felt .. umm .. it was a mixture of bizzare feelings, their faces were so bright,cheerful, they seemed to be happy.

My favourite part was when Reem Talhami performed a song for Gaza,it was sth like ..Heaven

And now Palestine has got its own Orchestra ... I feel so proud of them,may God bless them all

ذكرى رحيل محمود درويش

Back for blogging

Just got back home last wednesday after a great month in vibrant Dubai,despite the ugliness of the weather I can officially say that last month was incredibly remarkable !

I have been - nearly - everywhere.

Luxury,entertainment,amusment,and style are how I can describe Dubai,from the minute you step in the airport you feel that this city is so modern,tab3an forget about the financial crisis and how the financial system works there.

In general it's cool to see an arab country with such variety and progress.

I'll leave you with some of the pix since I dunno why I feel like I've lost my writting skills this summer :(

Za beach :P

Dubai Mall

Burj Dubai - tallest tower in the world

The Walk @ JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence)

Finalmente avventura

and finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy blogging from Dubai :)

Current temp. : 42 C (if not more)

Humidity : 61% ( well, there is no need to dry your hair at all )

but still I am loving this place

*oh and I can't stop listening to this song :) its definitely a summer hit

Bassam Jalgha (Dozan team) Won The 1st place in Stars Of Science

AND THEY DID ITTTTTT !!! Bassam Jalgha along with his Dozan creative team members won the $300,000 1st prize at the finale of the first pan-arab scientific reality TV show Stars Of Science,Dozan beated Orsod project with a massive amount of votes approached 62% !!!

I really did vote for Dozan , and this was only my second time of voting for a reality TV competition because simply I was convinced !!

Dozan Team :

Bassam Jalgha from Lebanon (Idea holder)

Mazen Salah from Jordan.

Wahiba Chair from Algeria.

Saber Ben Massoud from Tunisia.

Hassan Dib from Syria.

Mohammad Amin Abu Harb from Lebanon.

Yassir Ramil from Morocco

Stars Of Science

I know this post is too too too late... but it is better than nothing :)

One of the greatest reality TV shows in the Arab world by far !! I started watching it from the begining of this month, but I got the whole concept of it

A group of contestants from different regions of the arab world, each one of them has his own idea of a certain project that will be desgined and developed through the stages of this show along with assistance from experts and mentors..at the end the winner will receive a $300,000

to know more about it click here

& all I can tell that the ideas are TERRIFIC !! I really liked the Dozan project by a lebanese guy named Bassam Jalgha which is a machine that can tune your instrument (the strings) .. this project has created some sorta chaos online since there is a similar gadget .. but I can assure you it is utterly different..

my 2nd fav. project is by Sagr Al Fayz from KSA which is a portable scanner that translate english texts to arabic verbal sounds,designed for people who are blind or suffer from sight issues

The finale is this Friday on Future TV at 10 pm..and the two final projects that made it to the finale stage are :

1) Dozan

2)Orsod ( orsod is a project by Mohammed Orsod from Sudan ,it is an oil tester that can show you the quality of the oil you use )

Seriously don't miss it on friday .. it is gonna be the launch of both project,so lots of surprises ;)

for votes send 1 for Dozan or 2 for Orsod to :

زين 95515 Express 91021 امنية 98734 Orange 99502

From the rest of the world: 423662690080 OR 88216900420

I have been waiting this movie since it was released (I love this type of movies) .. and finally I am so going to watch it :P DO NOT MISS IT

This movie is at Zara center and Al Baraka Mall cinemas

Goodnight for now :)

Track of this weekend

One of my favourite tracks by the legendery and the master of oud Marcel Khalifeh,Popular Cafe from his album Caress ( along with his two sons Rami on piano,Bachar on percussions and Peter Herbert on double bass)

This track is very sophisticated, so refreshing, sweet, & incredibly close to who I am !!

I woke up this morning on an annoying phone call from an annoying and careless human,I was REALLY upset and grumpy in the morning ... but after listening to this track,I don't know what happened,I just felt very pleased...like literary happy !!

Akhhhh how I wish to attend a concert of his so soon

ولدت هناك,ولدت هنا

كتاب جديد للشاعر الفلسطيني المبدع مريد الرغوثي و هو الجزء الثاني لروايته "رأيت رام الله" والذي صدر عام 1997 , الكتاب بعنوان "ولدت هناك... ولدت هنا " صدر بتاريخ 19-ايار من العام الحالي عن دار رياض الريّس

أنا من أشد أشد المعجبين بأعمال و شخصية مريد البرغوثي ... و ازداد شعوري أكثر بعد قرأة رأيت رام الله, من أروع الكتب التي يمكن أن أقرأها في حياتي,واقعي و ساخر جدا .. مضحك و محزن و مؤسف في الوقت ذاته !!! عليكم به :)

ملاحظه : لم يصل الكتاب للحظه إلى عمان .. إذا كانت لديك أي فكره عن وجوده في الأراضي الأردنيه لا تترد في إعلامي :))))

Monawa3at منوعات

I dont know if you still remember this term very well,but when Satellites were really fay3een "popular" during the 90's along with video recorders,oh man we used to spend nights recording tv shows (esp those of LBC) and recording video clips,missing episodes of some tv series,even some famous arabic plays !!

I was young, I was around 7-9 years

I remember that dark brown cupboard near our house's door,it was full of recorded video tapes,some by my siblings and others borrowed from our cousins :) I remember *very well* those which were titled by Monawa3at and then followed by a date or a year or even an occassion !! and we used to play it over and over ..

I will leave you with some of those memories :) 3ala zo2i

Wael Kfouri & Nawal Al Zoughbi - Meen Habibi Ana Assi Hillani - wani mareg marret Hisham Abbas & Hameed Al Sha'er - 'ENI 'ENI Mustafa amar - El sood oyonoh Latifa - ya sidi massi Nawal Al zoughbi - habeit ya leil

enough for now :) but man they looked all so funny !! thank god for the new millennium

Senza Titolo

Every time I put my hands on the keyboard to write whatever comes to my mind,I tend to feel distracted,bored,and uncertain what to write about !!!

I just can't push myself to write while nothing specific is on my mind ... or I can't express myself clearly

Anyhow,since I finished my finals which was a huge event :P nothing much happened,I was supposed to go with my family to Palestine to attend my cousin's wedding,but then I canceled the whole idea for me,and honestly I felt guilty but also content !!! guilty for taking such a mean and selfish decision of not going there (forget my uncles cousins etc) I am talking about Palestine itself,where I lived for 14 years.I didn't want to go because of the people over there !! yes khalayleh !!! (not gonna talk about this thing) I know its stupid to think like that,but I swear it really bothers me to deal with them ,at the same time I miss Palestine,I miss those tough times I had there,I miss the freshness of its air...and yet I dont know if I miss the place or the time !!

and since one of my sisters cant go to Palestine,she took advantage of me being here to take care of her 4 year old girl,every morning from 9 am till 6 pm,it is a very good experince indeed,because now I realise that it is better not to have kids at alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll,they're so demanding,annoying,and a big Big BIG responsibility

Anyways,one of the best things I did so far is watching the finale of the incredible Tv series everrr Lost !! OMG it was amazing,they left us as always excited,puzzled and hungry for more :( my brother's wife and I can't stop discussing it whenever we meet :P

I talked too much ..khalas latersssss

THE SMELL OF FREEDOM :D

Till this moment I can't really understand or in other words realize what just happened yesterday,time passes so fast .. really fast !!

* Flashes Flashes*

.. well YESTERDAY I HAVE FINISHED MY FRESHMAN YEAR AT JU !!!!

Oh my God ! I swear I am so thrilled ( despite of that bloody Cross-cultural communication final exam ... OH BOY) ... and also I didn't take a summer course :) so I got a 4 month summer vacation this yeaaaaaaaar La la la la la laaaaa

Update : watching Spongebob (italian version) since today's afternoon for 2 reasons 1) the episodes are newer than those that Nickarabia shows 2)to enhance my italian since I am still a beginner,so watching cartoons will be a good step :P.

Enough

For those who ASSUME that studying a language is a piece of cake ..or as a girl told me once : " it's only a matter of B = boy , C = cat " then please sign up for only one course of ANY language you want,and then start your crap !! efffttt !! oh btw I am proudly a good student and not complaining about my study... and yes I know the song has nothing to do with my thoughts, it's just that I've been listening to it lately too much... over stressed ??

Today's weather

Seriously I couldn't breath,and I got a bad headache today,I slept for 3 hours and still feeling dizzy and unfocused..Oh and my hair is in a bad condition right now,I just got a new haircut on Saturday UGHHH !!!

My first lecture starts at 9:30 I left home at 9:16,arrived my university nearly at 9:45 ... the slowest bloodiest traffic jam I've ever seen,and the taxi driver was cursing everyone,the radio was so loud... and all what I was thinking ,definitely was my Italian class !! I thought that there were policemen on the way or an accident or sth..but there was NOTHING at all ... it was freaky

Enjoy the weather folks !!!

Frownies !!

I know ... I know ... Many people have written about this "issue" that some of us consider it an advantage which "labels" us from other cultures ... EXCUSE ME !! "We" look absolutely ridiculous with those stupid fake prestige-making FROWNs \/

Yes "we". I used to be one of the frownies, and as I unconsciously realised that the more you frown the more you receive respect,attention, and people around you will consider you a member of the 'Ammani high society who feels frustration and disappointment of almost everything.

Case examples :

1) Beauty centers/salons : that day I wanted to get my nails done,and believe me it is the best thing to do on earth,in order to get relaxed and pampered :P anyhow girls who were there,were approximately between the ages of 18-25 with different styles of frowns,they looked soo funny !! I was looking at each on of them and wondering why on earth would you frown while getting your nails done haaa ?? you are supposed to be spending a good time away from stress that's caused by work or studying !! for god's sake stop boasting it

2) ANY official department (let's take the clinic at JU) : My poor friend yesterday was wearing a sandal that wasn't quiet comfy (although it looks so cool) and it was hurting her ankle all the day,so I suggested to go to the clinic so we can get some plasters. & so we did,and as we were heading to the emergency (which is by the way a normal size room) the door was opened, there were an old man,and a lady who seemed quiet unpleased.My mate knocked the door and asked politely for TWO plasters,the lady said in a very rude way : oh sure for your sandal why would you ask for plasters?? we didn't reply...but damn how I wanted to reply back..anyhow my friend needed another one,so I told her to wait and that I will get her another one..believe me I was so ready for a fight :)

This time the old man was still sitting on the chair but his hand was covering his eyes,meanwhile that lady was sitting on another one sipping nescafe or watever it was..so I said (in arabic ) excuse me but please we really need ONE plaster my friend's leg is quiet damaged :P the lady didn't even move..the old man was REALLY angry,he gave me that plaster with a scary look in the eyes..I said Thank you so much and left the room !!!

Oh and finally I've heard frowning too much may cause early wrinkles for you young ladies :) Thankfully I quited frowning except when I concentrate during my Italian lectures !!

PS: Have I mentioned that the old man and the lady were doctors ?!

Temporarily/Rndom

That undescribable state has become more and more usual to me.Infact,its no more a nuisance.Actually we get used to every single thing we "particularly" detest by time

Everything in this life is temporarily,our sadness,happiness,failure,success,even that bloody undecribable feeling is also temporarily

I have no idea who drew this "graffiti",except that he/she is a student at JU,I apologise if there are any copyrights..btw they are everywhere

Racisim is everywhere,even in our classes"too lame",and by the way student's got less racism than professors (to be honest exclude only 10% of the professors) still too lame indeed

Thanks

Another reason to stick to my last name :)

WAY TO GO SHAHEEN !!!!!

Best thing so far

Yesterday,I did the most refreshing thing so far !! Its exactly what I needed,walking from The faculty of civil engineering to the faculty of the foreign languages,approximately 15 mins walking,6 mins running !!

It was around 12:50 pm,I've finished my Arabic 102 lecture,as I left the hall and went outside,I was fascinated by the view !! It was raining cats and dogs !!! Me and 2 friends of mine waited for like 5 mins perhaps it would stop..it was getting heavier more and more

I was wearing a sweater,black straight jeans,sneakers,and surely my big black handbag,I paused,I looked at my friends,I looked back at the gently moving trees as the pouring rains wash'em gracefully

I said let's move, and walked ...

One of my friends who was wearing a flat shoes,refused to come along with us,but as soon as my second friend and I were nearly leaving the place,she followed us BUT she "protected" her hair by that Arabic book..I wonder if she is going to keep it ?!

I didn't bother myself to cover my head,simply walking under the rain,and I can tell at that stage my sneakers and socks were compeletly wet...we reached the IT,and its still raining,my friends were like : Ashwaq you're still sick and you haven't even finished your tablets !! let's get in the cafeteria ... I refused

All way long I kept raising my face while rain drops hitting my face,water reached under my knees,while my hair was totally wet,and getting it's curly shape despite it's short length...my friend was complaining all the way and cursing everything she sees in her way :) meanwhile me and my other friend were laughing hysterically

I felt renewed and extremely overwhelmed even for a short time !!

PS: It was my very first time to walk under pouring rain !

Bed-time SONG

... and goodnight !

A Tale Of A Stupid Question

ASTAGHFERO ALLAHA AL 'ATHEEM !!!

Like are you REALLY serious when you ask me : " Oh,Shaheen?? do you own ma7ames Shaheen /Shaheen's Roasters ??"

I belong to Shaheen family,Shaheen in arabic means the eagle,and some claim that it is originally an Iranian word, Watch out now hahahahah.Shaheen is a world wide family,from Palestine to Lebanon to America to Antartica (oh have we really reached there?!) Many famous arabic and non arabic figures have got Shaheen as their last name,Yousef Shaheen (a well-known egyptian director) Simon Shaheen (a Palestinian musician) just to name a few :P Shaheen could be also written as Chahin,and I just like it when I recieve an email or when someone call me Miss Shaheen .. hmm I must get married to a guy who has a last name that fits mine because I am not going to ditch it,simply!!! LoooooL,I don't know if it is true but I just feel it is an international name !!

Back to the major point !! Why on earth do you relate my last name to Shaheen's roasters ?? why don't you think of sth else?? something much more well-known than this..and when I reply by NO,they got disappointed,as if, if I were from that Shaheen I 'd provide them with nuts and chashews !!! so they re-ask me : Oh Shaheen,where ?? I reply : Palestine Hebron..and If they're really curiouse and impolite they'll say : OMG !!! You just don't look like a girl from Hebron "khaleleyyeh" at all,EXCUSE ME do KHALAYLEH have a certain look ??!! it is sooo funny I just enjoy people's initial stupid reactions hahahaha

PS: I apologise if I sound abit over proud,but I just got excited !!

عدنا

و أخيرا, أعود لمدونتي بعد انقطاع غير مبرر بتاتا و أعذار أقبح من مادة الحاسوب 3 ,حياتي أصبحت هكذا, ما بين دراستي, و بين هواياتي و قضاء وقتي المخصص فقط لنفسي,لا أجد الوقت لبعض ما تعتبره معظم الفتيات مهما و ذو قيمه أكثر في عالمنا

ربما من أبرز الأحداث التي مرّت و منها ما أنهكني من التعب و أبقاني في المنزل لمدة أسبوع تقريبا و منها ما ردّ روحي المبعثرة لهذا العالم الذي أوصفه دوما بالعجيب... لقاء الشاعر الفلسطيني الكبير مريد البرغوثي في دارة الفنون,في أمسية شعرية لروح الشاعر محمود درويش,قرأ عددا من قصائده الحديثه,فوقعت في حب ثلاث قصائد , صنم رخامي,منطق الكائنات, و قصيدة أخرى عن التاريخ و لكنني للأسف لا أتذكر العنوان حاليا... ثم ختم أمسيته بقصيدة موجهة لمحمود درويش و قد ذكر أنه قد "عكف" عن كتابة شيء عن محمود في زحمة القصاءد و الكلمات التي ظهرت عقب وفاته ..... و بعد أن انتهى أخدت توقيعه على روايته رأيت رام الله الخاصه بي و حظيت بفرصة الحصول على صورة تذكارية !!!!!! صراحة كان لقاء يعجز اللسان عن وصفه,حتى أن رونق و أناقة المكان (دارة الفنون) قد أضافت سحرا أصيلا لا يقاوم .. لا أدري إن كنت محقه و لكنني رجعت إلى مباني الخليل و القدس و بيت لحم القديمه,شممت رائحة شي أقرب ما يكون إلى روحي و خصوصيتي, شعرت بالراحة و الإنتماء... ربما تكون مجرد فرحة لقاء مراهقة بشخصية لطالما كنت مولعة بها لنقائها غير المسبوق

أما الحدث الثاني فلم يخطر لا على البال و لا على الخاطر, لم أجهّز لتلك " الطلعه" نهائيا, فقط مجرد فضول لاستكشاف شيء لم يكن يوما محط اهتمام لدي,مجرد دعوة على الفيس بوك من مهرجان أيام عمان الثقافية عن فعاليات يوم الأربعاء 1/4 كان من بينها عرض "مسرحية" غزة رام الله, و في الحقيقة أنا سمعت بالعنوان لكنني لم أبدي اهتماما كبيرا.... المهم خرجنا أنا و أختي الكبرى إلى المركز الثقافي الملكي قبل ساعة من العرض كما هو مطلوب, المهم عند دخولي للمركز صدفت الممثل الأردني المعروف منذر رياحنة,فوقفت مذهولة و قلت :: لااا منذر رياحنة, حرام الرجل شك في نفسه, كان يدخن سيجاره في يد و الكولا في يد أخرى, فقام بكل احترام و سلم عليّ, فقلت له كم أحببت مسلسل الاجتياح و كم أحببت دوره الذي نسيت اسمه !!! ثم قلت لقد كان أفضل عمل أدّيته في حياتك !!!!! يا حرام الزلمة انصدم,فقال بكل "تواضع" مزبوط تقريبا هيك !!! كم شعرت بالخجل,,شعرت أنا الأرض لو تتبتلعني بصمت أفضل من الجلوس لمدة ساعة أراه ذهابا و إيابا في الاستقبال!!! إحراج من الآخر, المهم توجهنا إلى قاعة المؤتمرات المخصصة للعرض, تفاجأت بوجود منصة بسيطة و ميكروفون فقط !! فأدركت أنه عرص كوميدي و ليس مسرحية... العرض يتألف من 2 شباب و صبية من رام الله,فادي و منا و خالد أضحكوا الجمهور بكوميديا سوداء تعكس واقع مزري و مخزي لكل عربي لديه ما تبقى من الكرامة.. معاناة دولة رام الله و دولة غزة .. ضياع وطن بين أعداؤه و أبناؤه .. ضحكنا حتى البكاء .. حتى أختي و أنا ضحكنا لوحدنا على نهفات لم يفهمها الجمهور لأنه على الأرجح لم يسكنوا في فلسطين يوما ما !!! كانت تجربة قوية حتى أنه في اليوم التالي ظهر تقرير عنها في قناة ال إم بي سي

هذه الصورة إهداء خاص لـ Whisper

الشيء الآخر الذي أود التحدث عنه وهو نادي الحوار الذي التحقت به من ضمن النشاطات في الجامعة..يضم عددا من الطلاب الأجانب من دول أجنبية متعددة و الذين يتعلمون اللغه العربية "العامية" في الأردن في مركز الللغات في الجامعة الأردنية ... هؤلاء الطلبة المثيرين للجدل في مجتمع الجامعة..فمنا من يقول أنهم "مدسوسين" و منهم من يعتبرهم كائنات فضائيه لا يمكن الوصول و التحدث معهم .. منهم من يقلد طريقة لبسهم و خصوصا موضوع حمل حقائب الظهر و التي صراحة بدأت أستوعب أهميتها كوني أحمل الشنطة العادية ... المهم قضينا حوالي 5 جلسات سويا حتى الآن تحدثنا عن السياسة و تحدثنا عن المرأة في الثقافتين الأجنبية و العربية من منظور العدالة و عدم العدالة ,تعدد الزوجات,حرية الفتاة في الخروج و الذهاب هنا و هناك ... تحدثنا عن السفر و كان موضوع شيق للغاية و كم كان لإختلاف بيننا و بينهم في هذا الموضوع و قدر المعرفة و التجربة المتفاوت بيننا و بينهم .. تجادلنا .. اختلفنا ... اتفقنا ... لكننا في النهاية تواصلنا و علمت أنهم ليسوا أفضل مني في كل شيء و علموا أننا لسنا مجرد جواري لأسيادنا ... ربما لم يستوعبوا بعض أفكارنا لكنهم أبدوا الترحيب في معرفة آرائنا عنهم و عن المواضيع المذكورة

أما بالنسبة للجانب السيء فكان و بدون منازعة كم الدراسة الكبير و الواجبات و الامتحانات و المشاريع المطلوبة حاولت التوصل إلى شبه هدنة مع بعض المواد لكنني دوما أخسر في هدنتي مع اللغة الإيطالية ..على الرغم من محبتي لتخصصي إلا أنني أشعر بالملل من النمطية,ربنا الله دكتور اللغة الأيطالية مختلف جدا عن باقي الدكاترة لكنني لا أجد الكثير من التجدد في أكثر الأوقات

الأسبوع الماضي لازمت المنزل منذ الثلاثاء حتى الأحد,التهاب قصبات هوائيه حاد مع حرارة مراوغة من وقت لوقت, أستخدم الآن بخاخ لكي أتنفس بشكل أفضل و ثلاث أنوا من الأدوية التي لا يمكن العثور على أواء من طعمها المقزز ... بالتالي اضطررت لأقدم امتحان تعويضي في مادة تفاعل الثقافات, أعشق هذه المادة من قلب... حفظت مثلما حفظ الطلاب لكن الأفكار تداخلت عند بدأي للإمتحان و بدأت بالإرتجال ,, قالتلي الدكتورة أن أجوبتي في صميم الإجابه و أنها ليست بعيدة أبدا عن المفاهيم المطلوبة :)

و أخيرا عدت لأدوّن من جديد :)

Humam Ammari - SuBerstar

..and finally the video of Suberstar the Jordanian version of Nickelback's Rockstar!! I really like it since it's the first "proper and modern" Jordanian videoclip ( still the same concept of nick's viedo) but it's so real,young and fresh .The lyrics are cool !! lol

** I miss blogging...

I don't know what I want

I am haunted by music

I'm puzzled and ... paused !!!

I have so many thoughts crowded in my mind

I have tons of bloody homeworks and exams to study

Do I really wanna resume what I am doing or shall I drop everything ?

change ???

Update : Next week is the release of the anticipated book of the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish "La Oreed Lel Qasedati An Tanatahi" ( I don't want for this poem to be ended) ... as I read this article in Alghad newspaper, literallyI got goose-bumps !! It brought to me back to last year,When Mahmoud Darwish came to Masrah Al Balad (Al Balad Theater) in 'Amman to release and sign his book Athar Al Frasha,I couldn't go because I had exams for my god-damn Tawjihi (they weren't wazara,only some crap regular tests) I said to myself it's ok next year he will come and will sign for me !! After my Tawjihi result he died ... and I haven't got Athar Al Farasha yet !!!

When I attended that ceremony in the memory of Mahmoud Darwish which was held in my university,I got like a booklet about the ceremony which included a hand written poem by Mahmoud Darwish..that was so weird and precious at the same time

I don't know how this post has turned to be about Darwish !!

  وإن كان لا بُدَّ من فرح، فليكنْ ساخناً

  كدمِ الثور، لا وقتَ يبقى على حاله

  الغناءُ حلالٌ لنا مثل زوجاتنا، فليكنْ ماجناً فاتناً

  لكي يخجلَ الموتُ منه.. وينأى بأثقاله

  وإن كان لا بُدَّ من علمٍ للبلاد

  فليكنْ عالياً، وخفيَّ المجاز.. قليلَ السواد

  وبعيداً، كأودية، عن جفاف المكان وأيدي الصغار

  وعن غرفِ النوم، وليرتفع فوق سطح النهار.

  وإن كان لا بدَّ مني... فإني

  على أُهبة المرتضى والرضا، جاهزٌ للسلام

  مع النفس. لي مطلبٌ واحدٌ: أن يكون اليمام

  هو المتحدّثُ باسمي، إذا سقط الاسم منّي!

Watch out Japan !!!!

ok ok I need to confess as lovely Whisper did..YES I DID GET THIS IDEA FROM MR. SHARIFO !! but I really liked this album thing ... to be honest with you all I did it for the first time and didn't turn out very well..so I left the whole thing and went to study a little bit,but I couldn't help myself thinking about it so I created another one :))))

HERE ARE THE MAGICAL 4 STEPS !!! :

STEP 1 - NAME OF YOUR ARTIST/BAND Go to “Wikipedia.com”, hit “Random Article” (or just click the following link) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first random Wikipedia article is “The name of your Artist/Band”.

STEP 2 - ALBUM NAME Go to “Quotationspage.com”, then click on “Random quotations” (or just click the following link) http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the “Title of your first album”.

STEP 3 - ALBUM ART Go to Flickr.com, click on “Explore”, then click on “The last seven days” (or just click the following link) http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

STEP 4 - PUT IT TOGETHER Crop the image to a square format. Use Photoshop or similar programs to put the text together in any way you like.

Ssshhh !!!

I just want to do NOTHING !! I'll blog Laaaattteeeerrr ...

جمعه مباركه !!!

طبعا العنوان مقتبس من صديقتي العزيزة يلي كل نهاية أسبوع لازم تتحفنا بعبارة : " جمعه مباركة" أنا أول مره سمعتها صرت أضحك,بس بعدين لما أخدت على الوضع عنجد حسيت إنها حلوه و معبّره كمان .

الحمد لله الجو رائع كان اليوم .. استمتعنا بالشمسات على البرندات (عل القافيه) و بلشوا بنات عمّان يصيفوا (أهم أشي في كل الموضوع) كان يوم جمعة مختلف عن أيام الجُمَع التانيه,يعني بالعادة الواحد بيقوم على الـ 11, بيطب وجهه في صحن المسبحه و الفول و الفلافل,حمام يوم الجمعه المعهود,بتحضر الصلاة على التلفزيون أو بتروح عل الجامع, بتفتح باب البيت بتحمل الثلاث جرايد الوسيط,الممتاز, و أملاك, نفس الدعايات نفس أرقام مكاتب السمسرة للشقق .. بتقعدلك ساعة أو أقل على الأنترنت و يا دوب بدك تلحق الغدا .. كالعادة مقلوبة و على فكرة الحارة كلها بتكون عامله يا مقلوبة يا منسف.. بتتغدا من هون و بترجع تنام من هون .. بتقوم عل 6 أو 7 مستطّل مش شايف الفضا و بعدها ممكن تفكر بشو ممكن ضل تتعملوا , بس الحمد الله هالجمعه كانت خفيفة و لطيفه,يعني الواحد انبسط بهالأجواء طلع على محل,غّير جو يعني أشي و منو

يلا جمعة مباركه و استمتعوا بعطلة نهاية الأسبوع قبل ما يجي الدواااااام

نفسي أفهم كيف بيفكروا .. على شو بيشتغلوا ؟؟ و السؤال الذي يطرح نفسه.. شو عم يستنوا ؟؟ فعلا إشي بيجلط و بينرفز و بيرفع الضغط .. وزير التربية و التعليم أعلن عن تعطيل المدارس الحكومية و الخاصه بكرا مشان الطقس .. على رااااسي و الله إنو على راااسي,لأنو نحنا و مدارسنا و شوارعنا مش مهيئه لهيك طقس ... بس الدور و الباقي على رؤساء الجامعات .. لسه ما حدا فيهم صرّح بإشي .. في منهم بحكي إنو ما في تعليق للجامعة و إنو الطلاب الذين لن يتمكنوا من الحضور معذورين ... شو هالمنطق !! مفروض على الأقل الجامعات الموجودة بس بعمان تعلن قرار موحد .. مش جامعه أه و جامعة الله أعلم... بس لو يفكروا في الطلاب يلي بيجوا بالباصات من مناطق بعيده و البهدله في الطرق ... أنا منّي و عليّ مش طالعه على الجامعه.. أصلا دوامي طويل بكرا و عندي ساعه فراغ و لما أروح ما بلاقي تكاسي .. يعني باختصار أخدت قراري مش مداومه غدا .. وشكرا

وزير التربية والتعليم يعلق الدراسة في كافة مدارس المملكة غداً ورؤساء الجامعات يربطونها بمستجدات الطقس والمعاني يناشدهم البت سريعاً .. للمزيد

Rainy OR Snowy 'Amman ?!

Praying to wake up tomorrow and see the sight of snow everywhere !! weather fever is all around the kingdom,it is still raining over here,no snow so far.I checked some of the recommended websites to know the latest forecast before going to sleep (actually I will read a book then I'll go to sleep,if it didn't snow!!)

Tonight's weather :

The weather for the five coming days:

That's not my NAME

For God's sake !! For Heaven's sake !! Please pronounce my name properly,It is not my fault,My dad didn't pick my name (but he did agree !!) neither my mother !! a nurse is the one who commited this unforgivable crime..yeah the nurse picked this name for me !!!

My name is AshwaQ,not AshwaG !!! My name is AshwaQ not AshwaK and please never try to give me shosho as a nickname..it is too lame and I will hate you immediatly !! call me ashwa' I will accept it too

My mum wanted to name me Leen,my dad wanted his mother's name (my grandma) which is Sameeha !! (Imagine my name is Sameeha oh la laaaaa),they both didn't pick a name for me till the 2nd day after my birht,dad headed to the hospital to finish some procedures,and when someone asked him : oh what did you name your daughter?? my dad replied he is puzzled,a nurse came by and offered ASHWAQ as a name !! my dad liked it (as he says) and returned back home to surprise my mum with the name !!! till this moment I have no idea if my mum is still ok with my name or not !!!

When my mum told me this incident for the very first time,I got angry,I said why didn't you insist on Leen,you always insist on EVERYTHING..just why on earth didn't you pick an easier name,at least a modern one for me !! WHY ME !!

ps: I don't hate my name !!

I am back !!

My last post was like nearly a week ago,I was supposed to be away only for 3 days,but I was extremely busy this week,My sister arrived from Dubai with her little one-years-old daughter,shopping,dinning out,gossips,(I know sometimes it is too bad and I try my atmost to avoid it !!) and definitely Kids Land.I am so thankful for her visit, actually I am in a better mood.

My university: well I need to admit that I love my Intercultural Communication lecture !! it is so cool,and each lecture I learn sth new and different,the thing is that the students are arabs (actually last lecture there were two foreigners) we all study languages,Italian,Spanish,French,English,Korean,and I am not sure if we do have students who study German..and we swap cultural elements like traditions,values,geography,arts,food ..etc,oneday we had a special lecture dedicated for our presentations,the korean presentation was over the roof !!

akkhhh I dunno what to write about,I just missed my blog !!

Oh right I love today's weather !! rainy,freezy,cloudy and foggy !! SUPER AWESOME,I hope some snow in the way !!

3 days off

ok I've had enough !! Tomorrow I am not going to my university,then comes friday (already off ),then saturday..and maybe I will take sunday off as well !! I just can't bear it simply !! I wanna be away !! oh and add the too many nonstop homeworks to do !!! effftttttttttttt

See ya'll later

يبدو أن ....

يبدو أن عالمنا يصبح يوما بعد يوم أشد قرفا و أكثر علة و مللا و الأكثر من ذلك كله هو أنه عالم يثير الشفقة و السخرية معا و في آن واحد .. قد لا تصدقون أنني كنت قبل دقيقة من بدايتي لكتابة هذا الموضوع,كنت أحل واجبي للغة الإيطالية و المفترض تسليمه يوم الأربعاء .. إلا و انني على فجأة (لا ليس على فجأة تامة) شعرت برغبة شديدة بالكتابة.نتيجة لعالم الذي لايمكنه أن يسير في في أي خط إلا الخط "الأعوج" و المثير للمتاعب

قبل أسبوع بالتحديد كنت أشعر بضجر و صخب شديد من جامعتي و من الطلاب و من الدكاترة حتى أنني كنت لا أطيق أن أجلس في محاضراتي..إلى أن توصلت إلى حقيقة مجردة و هي أن نتيجة صخبي و اعتراضي هي لا شيء !!! نعم فالجامعة ستبقى كما هي و الطلاب سيبقون كما هم و الأساتذه على الأكيد الأكيد الأكيد لن يتغيروا .. و بالتالي بما أنه شيء مفروض اختياري,سأتحمله و احاول التأقلم معه و أن أنظر إلى الجزء الأكثر إشراقا "إن وجد" إلى أن يفرجها ربي فحياتي على ما يبدو تتخذ شكل أو مفهوم "المؤقت" كما كتب الشاعر الفلسطيني الذي أعشقه و أقرأ له الآن رواية رأيت رام الله,مريد البرغوثي

ربما .. بل أكيد مشكلتي و تذمري منها لا تقارن بمشاكل العباد ... و لكن العباد لا يتقنون صنع و ابتكار أي شيء إلا نقل الأكاذيب و تصديقها و نشرها ثم الاستمتاع بالعباد و هم يحاولون مجرد المحاولة لإصلاح ما تم إفساده من العباد

لا أدري في الواقع إن كانت مجتمعاتنا الشرقية و حدها تعاني من مشاكل " القال و القيل" أم أننا نحن من أكثر الشعوب في الدنيا نتقن فنها و نتلذذ به !!! هل هو مرض نفسي ؟؟ أم فيروس ؟؟ ربما لعبة شد الحبل ؟؟ أم تقليد نتوارثه من أجدادنا و نورثه إلى أبنائنا (مفهوم الثقافه) ..فهل تسعد الحماة كثيرا عندما تنقل كل "تقويلة" إلى ابنها و تمثيل دور الأم المستعده لمواجهة الموت لانه لا ذنوب و لا خطايا عليها !!! أو تنبهر بإنجازها الباهر عندما تنشب خلافات في بيت ابنها لتستمر لأيام طويلة !! صراحة تستحق جائزة الدول العربية للتخلف و الرجعية, أو هل يعطي الشعور بالقوة و الحصانة و الفخر عندما تقوم فتاة لا زالت تراهق رغم تخطيها الفصل الأول من حياتها الجامعية, و تقوم بنقل "الأقاويل" لأسباب يجهلها متلقيها... فعلا عالم غريب

فعلا نحن شعوب نستحق و بجدارة لقب عالم ثالث .. اعتذر للمثقفين و العلماء فينا لكنهم طفرات في نظري الآن ... يبدو أن كل ما يشغل البال و ينشط الدماغ و يقوي الذاكرة و يثير حاسة الإبداع هو خلق الأقاويل.. لكن العواقب ليست في البال و لا على الخطر (ليس على الطرف المتضرر ) بالعكس تماما و إنما على من امتهنوا هذه الحرفه ... خلينا هيك لشو الواحد يحط حاله بمكان التاني .. لشو أصلا نفكر بالتاني..ما بهمنا أصلا..خلينا دايما داقيين في بعض

ملاحظة : الأمثال التي وردت حصلت في نفس اليوم و في أجزاء مختلفه منه .. مع أشخاص مختلفين كذلك
