Shotgun Syndrome
There are times when I’m sitting at the dinner table and there are people who eat SO fast, that subconsciously I automatically start to speed up. It’s as if there’s this hidden feeling that unless I rush, I won’t have any food to eat as they’ll have wolfed it all up. I actually sometimes stop and think to myself “What am I doing? Why am I rushing to grab stuff and put it on my plate as if it were a race?!”
Similarly, this whole “SHOTGUN” syndrome when commenting on posts is driving me nuts. What’s up with that? Who started it? And who cares if you’re the first or 47th person to comment? Your comment will still be read! The problem is, as more and more people started doing it, I found myself rushing in this shotgun race and I’m totally out of control now! :/

Wait a Second!
You know that moment of hesitation, that fraction of a second where you think “Should I, or shouldn’t I?” That moment as you’re coming out of that exit and you wonder whether you have enough time to get out before the oncoming car gets too close or not? That moment where you look at your phone wondering whether you should make that call or not? That instant where you think whether you should apologize first or not?
When presented with that moment, with that fraction of a second.. would you go for it, or not?

الجميع يذكر تلك السيدة التي أجرت معها قناة المنار مقابلة في شارع الحمرا في بيروت و التي طلبت فيها من سماحة السيد دام حفظه أن يعطيها عباءته الشريفة التي كان يرتديها. و قد اذيع مؤخرا في نشرة أخبار المنار المسائية عن إن سماحة السيد أرسل عباءته إلى السيدة ريم حيدر كما طلبت ولم ينس طلبها رغم متابعته و انشغاله بإدارة الحرب و ما بعدها وما يحصل على الساحة السياسية في لبنان. وقد أعلنت السيدة حيدر إن بيتها مفتوح لمن يريد أن يرى فقط العباءة وقالت حرفيا أنا لم أجرؤ على لمسها حتى الآن ولن اسمح لأحد أن يلمسها بعدما ارتداها سماحة السيد حفظه الله والذي يريد أن يأتي يمكنه أن يتبارك برؤيتها فقط

Where Art Thou?
Winter, o winter, where art thou?? I don’t remember the last time you came by! Last year, you forgot us!
Seriously folks, when are we going to get some nice winter weather? I know that summer lasts for most of the year, spring pops in for about a week, and fall.. hmmm *scratching head* do we even get fall? We don’t have much greenery for us to see it change to orange and red! But winter?! We used to get at least 2 good months of winter!
Mind you, the minute it rains for 5 minutes, accidents start piling up because some people don’t realize that driving on wet ground is not the same as driving on dry ground!! But still, I hope you come by this year!

Leaving on a Jet Plane..
You’re at the airport now, getting ready to embark on a journey that will change your life, in one way or another. I’m going to miss your giggles, your sporadic moments of crisis, and your urgent need for an outing! I’m proud of you. You’re a wonderful person, a caring friend, and a loving daughter/sister. Your soul twin will be waiting for you, cheering you on every step of the way.
Go get ‘em June
