Niqab is not allowed at schools........SO WHAT??!!

     It really amazes me all the hazard that is going on about niqab issue.

    The Head of Al Azhar,Mohamed Sayed Tantawy, issued a plead that niqab is not allowed in schools any more. I think he has done the right thing. Even more this decision had been too late.

     In Egypt, we see lots of women in streets covering their faces and walking among people like they are scaring them.P.S, most of them can barely be called pretty!!

     I am astonished how people react. Even some of my friends whom I can call liberal Muslims.They talk about this plead as if he is preventing them from being religious.

     Religion was never about wearing niqab, or even more, hijab. It is much more than that.

      God is in the heart of good people. No matter what they wear, however, I do not recommend over exposing to avoid hurrasment in streets.

     Being religious, as I believe, is about being good to others, heart kindness and having this magical faith of God, that enlighten our whole lives.

     The famous  late religious role model, Mohamed Abdo, said when he visited Europe, that he had seen muslims without Islam, and in the Arab countries he had found Islam but without muslims!

     Following our religion, as any other Holy religion, means that we watch God in every behavior we do. it means not to hurt a child, not to hurt an animal, not to throw litter in streets, a man does not hurt a woman, no cheating, no betrayals.

     It means to be a clean, nice, honest, lovable and hard worker person. 

     In our Islamic literature, a man had passed to heaven cause he fed a hungry dog. On the opposite of that man, a woman had passed to hell for holding a cat without a food or water.

That is God. God is mercy and beauty.

     After all, every one has the right to choose his/her custom. But excuse me, community also has the right to be safe.

     If a woman has to hide her face, ok, but please, stay at home. Don't walk around to frighten people or to commit crimes or even sins under this cover. It is not their right to give this bad impression of our religion and our civilization.

     People, the world is moving. There is no time for this non sense arguments.

Keep going!

shoes slide show

I joind this class,Writing for Multimedia, tow weeks after the semester has started. Actually it was four weeks, but thanks to Swine flue!!That's why i could catch up with the class after four sessions.

Iwas lucky to have the Professor approval to register in her class. however, I am having so much to catch up with. I am not so much a copmuter person, so I felt lost for the first couple of sessions.

I am willing to make it work. I insist to learn and I trying my best to know every possible thing about that technology.Thanks to my Prof. Kim and my freind Donia.

This slide show was my first try to embed a slide show into my blog.

I picked up the photos of some shoes styles for different ocasions and usages.

For myself, my favourite pair of shoes is the elegant, high heals yet comfortable shoes :)

Gloria Gaynor

     I love this song as it expresses the stregnth that we can have inside our hearts without knowing it.

    Whenever I listen to it I feel that I'm in control and that I will recover and stand on my feet again.

    Break ups are hard,especially when they are in the form of divorces. And when there are children envolved, it even becomes harder to grasp.

     I was so unlucky with my marriage. The good news is that I have four children whome I adore.

     I got divorced at age of thirty three ever since i am trying hard to stand on my own feet.

     I tried very hard to get a job. This was an impossible mission, as I was graduated in 1995 and had no experience at all.

     Recently,I got hired in a new TV channel as a reporter.In the last three years I discovered my passion to journalism. That's why I joined the AUC as a graduate student, to study TV and Digital Journalism.

    Some times I find it hard to follow up with new technologies..but I am trying hard and I hope I will be able to achieve my goals.

   What are my goals??That's what i am talking about tomorrow :)

Grand Opening Ceremony

     Yester day I accompanied my 15 years daughter to campus and we attended that nice event of the opening for Theater Club.

     We had fun. Her eyes were sparkling with joy.Sshe wished that she can join the AUC one day.

     She met her freind on campus,a 16 year girl who happened to graduate early from high school and is now a student at AUC.

     The event contained funny segments, as two of the students performed a stand up comedy. They made fun of true life issues, and also brought up some campus problems, such as waiting in lines to get some thing to eat.

     The ceremony also consisted of singers from the university talents show.
I enjoyed so much the tricks that was practiced by the magician.

      The surprise of the event was hosting big and real stars; Donia Sameer Ghanem, Nour Alshreef and Aser Yassin, the AUC former student.

      The best part was the D.J party out side the theater. Every one enjoyed the music and the outdoor dancing. I was ammused.

killing Family bus, 323

      Yesterday I spent the day with my kids at their father place in 6 of October City. We had great tIme together.

      Then I was on my way back to Lebanon Square, where I saw a reflection in my back mirror of a bus rushing towards me as if he was trying to push me out of the road.

      Of course I got panic and I turned the driving wheelto the extreme right side that I could have jumped off the bridge!!

     Only God saved me.

     I still dont know why that mad driver was driving so irrationally.I tried to catch  him up but unfortunately he was too fast and I couldn't immitate his speed.

      But I could get his number.It was 323, a mini bus for the Family
Transportation Company, which is in charge for AUC's students safty!!
