BlackBerry .. NO!

      Ever since the Blackberry came out everyone was asking me to get one. "What's your BB pin?". They'd ask often. "You don't have a BB?". Amazingly no, I don't need one. "You're into social media & you don't have a BB?". Making me feel like a technology retard. Well, no I don't have a BlackBerry & never in my life would I want to get one.
      I must admit I was intrigued a lot of times to actually go get one of these shiny toys, especially with the cool flashy covers that came along. But after I see the quality of life those Blackberry users sink into I step away & hug my cute gold Nokia E72 which grants me my freedom at any time & doesn't make me feel like I'm his trapped genie or something. It even allows me to blame it sometimes for not being able to get online or even better when it messes with the SIM card & people can't reach me sometimes.
I love how it self adjusts itself so it doesn't tick me or annoy me.. I love how it simply gives me my space & doesn't intrude on my time away from work.

      Turning away from the relationship I have with my phone. This is not a review, I'm probably going to get attacked by these companies when it goes into their monitoring systems. I just wanted to circulate this piece of advice. If you think working hours aren't enough, if you want to frustrate your OFFLINE friends who are waiting for you to make your next move at that board game or say what you feel about their story but WAIT after you reply to that insignificant email I would advice you to get 1 of these stupid devices. It will surely deprive you of your final offline moment where you could actually enjoy some fresh air without those mobile waves damaging what's remaining of your brain cells!

I Heart U because..

Never thought I’d start my new post with this title. I’m a hopeless romantic, I know.. some people say I easily fall in & out of love. I don’t think that’s the case, I think it’s more of me wanting to find my Mr. Right, my knight in shining armor, my Old Spice dude..

Well, now that I hope i found you -fingers crossed, eyes squeezed shut with a grin on my face- i give you some of the reasons that made me fall for you..

1- You open the door for me ALWAYS - even if it’s pouring rain outside.

2- You have a crazy smile when you happily accept a compliment.

3- How you’re always trying to make me jealous - not behind my back kind of way.

4- The state of mind you’re in when you hear a motorcycle VROOM.

5- How you get angry when you’re hungry - I always keep something to eat in my purse just in case.

6- How you don’t like horror movies or even thrillers & it doesn’t make you less of a macho man to me.

7- The sounds you make when you eat good food “MMmMm..” just make me want to eat you up.

8- You don’t think I’m crazy when I dance & lip sing to every song on the radio - you like that I have lyrics Google up in my head.

9- We have our own pet names & goofy little gestures that no one knows which makes it hard for me to even picture my days without you.

10- Most of all I <3 you because you are you & you love me for who I am..You don’t try to change the hopeless romantic I am today, what’s more is that you caress the little princess i have in me - which is somehow coming out now so i have to stop!!

I Heart U

Chapter 1 Finale

My Dearest Friends,

I stopped blogging 6 months ago, couldn't feel what I was writing anymore. Felt like i was just blogging so I could keep up with the social scene. Everyday I woke up feeling bad because I hadn't blogged yet or let's say haven't recapped where I left off.

Truth is I lost my inspiration or let's say it just took another direction, that is my inspiration.. What was more interesting is that a new chapter in my life started that I just didn't know how to integrate into my story. You might say: but this is not your journal Salwa, it's not your day to day diary. I know it's not & most of these stories are just made up of pure fiction. It just that i had a motive to write & the new chapter wouldn't go under the same book.

It inspired me to move to another book, a prettier one. One of fairy tales & rainbows. I though that was my book with all the pretty pink colors, but no it was filled with spider webs & evil wolves. Now I sound like little red riding hood & it makes you freak out about reading my next post. Unfortunately I'm going to stop boring you now & send you to my new link once it's online.

Moving from one thing to another isn't easy, it was never easy for my but it's a challenge & Ihope you join me in my new home once I'm settled & ready to share my address..

As for Love in The City Chapter 1 .. it's ready to burn

Love you & Leave you

Salwa
