محسنة توفيق تقول فشر

عايزه أقول رسالة للبنانيين: لما بياعين البلح بيسموا على البلح الحلو (الباب الأول) حسن نصرالله، هذا ليس موقفاً عاطفياً، ولا انقياداً ولا انبهاراً بالبطولة. بل لأنهم يجدون فيه التعبير عن إرادتهم. إرادة المقاومة التي في شعوبنا اليوم هي أضعاف ما كانت عليه منذ خمسين سنة. لأسباب بديهية تتلخص بما عشناه بعد تراجع المشروع الوطني من كوارث حتى على مستوى ظروف الحياة.

Yoga…

Today after the session(it was about proper relaxation, after I learned proper breathing, exercise and diet) the instructor told me that I have a very flexible body and I am able to do any posture in yoga and eventually I will be able to raise my leg behind my neck. But, for now, I have to work on making my muscles strong too, so I don’t have to stretch my back too much during the sun salutation, instead, I have to stop at a point and work on my muscles more. And that she is watching me 🙂 I’m liking this yoga thing…I needed these couple of hours this week!!

And oh! She gave us a paper with the chanting she says at the beginning and their translation..I didn’t read it all..but I lost it in the taxi on my way home :$ I was planning to post them here…so to the next time!

Yay…

I’m still somehow depressed but who knew that teaching a programming I lab session would cheer me up? I can’t believe this, it’s the third semester I teach this lab and It has never been this fun, I’ve always enjoyed teaching advanced labs more, because they are somehow challenging and the topics are more fun(call me a nerd) and the most important reason is that the students are not new students. New students usually cause trouble and come to the lab to have fun(unlike the tutorial although I teach it too, I don’t what’s the reason behind this) and the new guy comes and sees himself that he’s the ONE and that he will charm his instructor to give him good grades(they actually try this!!!). But this semester, they are AMAZING, they are smart, funny(not clowns), cute, they call me Layal(not Miss Layal, I hate it) and they are excellent potential programmers! It was their first lab and I didn’t want to push them into too many stuff, but I found them adding new functions to the exercise I asked them to do. OK here we go….I LOVE THEM!!!

Feeling so down today…

I don’t know why…I saw my bestfriend..we laughed alot..I always enjoy her company…I started teaching…students were nice & friendly and the session was great…my advisor is going to get an extra assistant in the office, we will share the work/pressure instead of me being there alone…so compared to the other days..it’s relatively good!! Then why do I feel so depressed and just SAD?

Why?

Why can’t I trust anyone?

Why do I hate some people so much?

Why do I sometimes hate myself so much?

Why do I see that everthing going on around me shouldn’t be this way?

Why can’t I trust anyone?

Why can’t I trust me sometimes?

Why do I usually block people away?

Why can’t I trust anyone?

Why am I so negative?

Why do I hate love & love hate?

Why can’t I forgive instead of forgetting?

Why can’t I trust anyone?

Why can’t I trust anyone?

قال لها ألم تدركي بأن النـور ذكـرا ً ؟؟
فقالت له بل أدركت أن الشمس أنثـى
قـال لهـا أوليـس الكـرم ذكــرا ً ؟؟

قال لها هل تعلميـن أن العلـم ذكـرا ً؟؟
فقالت له إنني أعرف أن المعرفة أنثـى
…………. فأخذ نفسـا ً عميقـا
وهو مغمض عينيه

بصمت لـلــحــظــات وبـعـد ذلـــك
قال لها سمعت أحدهم يقول أن الخيانة أنثى
فقالت له ورأيت أحدهم يكتب أن الغدر ذكرا
قال لها ولكنهم يقولون أن الخديعـة أنثـى

I’ll Graduate…

Last week, I registered my very last courses, Hurray!!! By February, I will be a 20 years old unemployed young lady(hehehe, lady:D). What will I do? last year, I wanted to continue and get a Master’s degree, but this semester I changed my mind. So, besides being an unemployed, I will take Cisco, Microsoft &Oracle courses. I don’t know which to start with or how but I will not be just an unemployed person that’s for sure :D.

National Day Against Cluster Munitions…

Today was the day…I went there around 8:30 PM…there was this group wearing T-shirts with “لا للقنابل العنقودية” (no to cluster bombs)written on them working and removing all the photos of cluster bombs victims..yeah I got there late…and I heard a voice behind me saying “7’alasna” (we are done). I turned around and I saw a man (40 years or something) sitting with a woman next to him(more likely his wife) and his leg was injured(a cluster bomb did that ofcourse); and he has this so warm and peaceful smile on his face that was saying nothing but thank you…I told him it’s OK I guess I’ll just sign the petition..and I went to the group to ask them…they showed me one that they didn’t pack yet and I signed it…I looked up at the names and I saw that there is a 16 years old boy’s signature just before mine…and most of the others were young…I left the tent feeling glad that I made the man smile for a minute or two and that our youth is still OK…

The Black Tuesday…

I know it’s late but I HAD to say something….many Egyptian bloggers caught photos/videos in 26-10-2006 which many called the black Tuesday..because it was one hell of a black day…well for those who still don’t know what happened..in brief, there was gathering at a movie theatre in Cairo Downtown at a movie opening….and suddenly most of the guys there just got super horny and started harassing/attacking girls…trying to touch/grab them..there were girls in veils also harassed(so if you are going to say it’s the girls fault by wearing this and that ,save it!)..other girls got their shirts torn out..many seeked shelter in stores in the area..some chose taxis to hide…it was a very NASTY scene..and I’ll leave the other stories to the links below…and what really pissed me off is that some people called these bloggers who talked about it (giving photos and videos as proofs) liars and are ruining Egypt’s image..what the hell has gone wrong with these people…you care about Egypt, do something to make it look good…not just ignore a problem and keep it low while girls (who are Egyptian too by the way and needs the same if not more protection) are being stripped off literally and emotionally in the middle of the streets. I won’t repeat what others are saying and I’ll leave you with the links.

سعار وسط المدينة الجنسي: this one has links to newspaper talking about it and a video.

تحريض أمني ضد المدوّنين الذين فضحوا تحرشات وسط البلد , دعوة للتحرك العاجل: this link has the article which accused the bloggers that they were lying

إتكلموا…..(لنكسر حاجز الصمت): help out here if you can..many testimonies are here..they are not lying!

And i talked about sexual harassement in general before this happenned in my live space blog. Click here

Ban Cluster Bombs Now…

Say NO to cluster bombs on Nov 4 during the National Day Against Cluster Munitions in Martyr’s Square-Downtown(Click on the image for more details). Lebanon has been a rich soil to these lately, not as an owner ofcourse, Israel threw around 5 million bombs on the Lebanese soil and 40% of them remain unexploded to this moment.

First Yoga Session…

I called them..and I went…I’m glad I went before the class time because the taxi driver lost his way…anyway…the teacher is a very nice lady..there were about 10 students there…I missed the first session and it was the second one for the others..but since I got there a little bit early she taught me what I missed last Friday, I won’t talk about details..I’ll leave this to other posts…but I really enjoyed it..and it was so relaxing and it needs effort at the same time…I didn’t know that! some postures were hard to do at the beginning! I’ll talk about the details of the session later. Ciao for now.

Guitar Realm…

I’ve always wanted to share my love to classic guitars…and now I have the chance..check this new Guitar Realm…Now, I’m handling all the classic stuff and Shogo &Azure got the metal stuff…and as i said there..this is the only place where F.Tarrega will sit and play next to Michael Ammot…mp3 songs/pieces will be offered to download in addition to their music notes/tabs and lyrics.Enjoy.
