How I Met You Mother, How I Never Met Your Mother

"The great moments of your life won't necessarily be the things you do. They'll also be the things that happen to you. Now, I'm not saying you can't take action to affect the outcome of your life. You have to take action. And you will! But never forget, that on any day, you could step out the front door, and your whole life could change forever. You see the Universe has a plan kids; and that plan is always in motion. A butterfly flaps its wings, and it starts to rain. It's a scary thought, but it's also kind of wonderful. All these little parts of the machine constantly working... Making sure that you end up exactly where you're supposed to be.. exactly when you're supposed to be there. The right place. At the right time." Ted

Right and Wrong, Strong and Weak: Which is Which??


When you're right you're strong. You can face the world fearlessly with what you are and what you believe in. There can be no doubt in what you're saying cuz after all you're right, and being right means having something to prove that you right.
And when you're wrong and holding on to it, you're afraid to be caught red handed. You try to cover what you're doing with lies and hide behind them cuz after all you're wrong, and what you're doing has nothing to support, but maybe your desires and what you might think to be your needs.
But what I am seeing now that right is not strong any more, people don't defend it the way I used to hear in the stories they kept telling me as I grew up. For some unknown reasons I can't find someone brave enough to stand behind the rightful truth, that he'd deserve his counterparts respect no matter what the result turned out to be.
This just a passing thought as I remembered how we're told about people that faced death without fear for the cause they believed in. Why don't we have any of those any more? that's a question for you and me.

Alone This Eid

Well, it's the first Eid for me to spend alone.
I switched the TV as I've been doing for the past few days. Boring as it can be, HBO channel treated me well tonight. A movie called "Love Affair" got me thinking and gave me the urge to write this.
When you're looking in the faces of every single person on the street searching for someone, when it hurts just when you think about that someone and even when it hurts as you've never been hurt before you still can't get over that someone, then that's agony. And to me that's what love is.

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen

If you haven't seen the first one go now and watch it, then RUN to the nearest Cinema and watch the new one. Transformers: Revenge of the fallen is what a cinema movie is, great sound effects, amazing graphics, a pretty good story and a good ending.
I don't want to spoile the movie so I won't go into the details of the story but it's a good sequel with no changes in the details of the first movie to fit the second. In short words, it's a wild ride.
After I watched the movie I knew I focused on 2 things, first the geographical mistakes. If you're not from Egypt then you wouldn't notice that the Pyramids of GIZA are no where near Sinai and the Karnak Temple of Luxor is in Egypt not in Jordan. I have been to both and I assure you that they don't appear on the map near the Aqaba bay. That's a major mistake of the director.
The other thing was Megan Fox :D. Enough Said!

Rocky Balboa

I think the Rocky series is one of the best series of movies that has ever been created; maybe it seconds only to star wars. When I heard they made a forth movie I thought "Nah! it ain't gonna be near any of the other ones" and I gladly say I WAS WRONG. It's one of the best that I have seen recently, maybe cuz I just needed that kind of movies or maybe cuz it's really amazing. It moves a lot of feelings inside you and shows you the way to be the champ of your life and to live it the way it should be lived, YOUR OWN WAY.
I thought I should mention this quote as it really moved me: "The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!"

Ibrahim Labyad: A bad idea, a bad movie

Ibrahim Labyad Sucks, here is the full story:
Well, I have finished my exams and as I am used to for as long as I can remember It's time to hit the cinema and watch the best movie out there to officially start the summer and so we did. We have not always been luck with movies, some good ones and some really bad ones, but always me and kareem (a friend of mine got to choose them). Tonight it was Ibrahim Labyad.
I am a big fan of Ahmad Al Saqa, there has been always something to his movies that made it really special, a great story, a great script, a great picture and of course as always his great performance; I only got to see his good performance, he wasn't even as good as the last one. No story at all, just the life of a street man (baltagy) with no point at all of choosing him to be the center of anything.
Some of my friends told me that the movie represented reality and what a bad representation it was. The girl who has never been to school read the newspaper better than I did when I was in high school, his friend pronounced cafeteria as if he has been out of his BMW and all the characters were so polite although they were all mad murderers.
The ending gave no closure, no expression, no nothing. My opinion if you're thinking about seeing it DON'T.

A Dying Hope

This is a quote from my favourite movie when Noah (the stroy hero and the story teller too) decided to move on without never really moving on. This is the last letter of the 365 letters he sent to Allie
"My Dearest Allie. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah"
