Changing is good?! really?!
Lately, I noticed that everybody and everything around me is changing:
my old friends from school changed, my parents changed, my brothers changed, Amman changed, even the new friends changed!!
or maybe it’s me… i changed!
A friend told me: “changing is not necessarily a bad thing… it can be good.. actually it’s healthy! did you expect that all your life will be the same for you? and that you’d stay the same?!”
for the matter of fact.. YES!! i don’t want to change! i liked myself the way I was… and i don’t want to change! but I admit that i am changing!! and there’s nothing that i can do about it! 
I just don’t understand!! if changing is good and healthy… why do i feel so bad about it?!
Thankful!
I remember reading a list of the things that we should be most thankful for in Shaden’s Blog… yesterday i was thinking that there are many things in my life i should be thankful for but i wasn’t aware of how lucky I am “el 7amdilla” to have such things in my life until i made this list…
These are the things I’m most thankful for: “in no particular order”
1- Having my parents around… they really take good care of me.
2- Having both of my brothers around.. they are ready -and willing- to do anything for me.. they’re the best “lawla el baradeh”
3- Having loyal friends that i can count on.
4- Being a Muslim and wearing Hijab.
5- Meeting nice people wherever i go.
6- Being blessed by having all five senses.
7- Having a nice bed-room of my own.. with 2 windows
8- Chocolates.
9- Living in Jordan.
10- Being the youngest in my family.
11- Having the ability to forget.
12- Passing Tawjihi with a good average “better than expected”.
13- Getting the chance to study the thing i like without “wasta”
14- Shania Twain… her songs fill me with energy when I’m down… thanx Shania
15- Having the ability to forgive.
16- Having the ability to read and write… and having good education.
17- http://www.jordanplanet.net/ some bloggers of the planet have a huge “positive” effect in my life and on the way i think.
18- Being a good person.
19- Being loved.
20- Having the ability to laugh over the silliest things… and being able to see the bright side “most of the times”.
21- Getting the chance to try and live in other Jordanian cities like Irbid
22- Having the mobile of my dreams… I love it… i even named it
23- Not being disgusted easily.
and many other stuff…
well i can’t mention all of the things i’m thankful for… nobody can.. i needed to post this to remind myself there are many things i should be thanking God for..
even if i don’t really realize how lucky I am.. but we all are in some way… do your own list and you’ll see
Reading 101
It’s been a year since i felt like i have nothing to do in my free time… i have no hobbies.. no special talents.. nothing really interesting that i can do by myself..
I realized that all the things I like to do are limited in talking for hours with friends or family “especially my brother”, talking on the phone, try some cooking recipes “which i end up eating them as nobody would even try any”, checking new posts at Jordan Planet, and googling!!
so many people advised me to start reading… i really liked the idea!! it would keep me entertained in my free time.. and it would help me improve my language skills..
so i started asking my friends about what do they read, and what books they recommend for reading.., i got so many suggestions…
I preferred reading an Arabic book, as it’s my language and it would be much easier for me as a start… many people recommended في بيتنا رجل” للكاتب إحسان عبد القدوس even Lina got it on get favorite books list.. so i thought it must be an interesting book!
so i got the book and started reading.., i couldn’t finish page 16!! i always get sleepy before i finish reading one page! Not that it’s boring!! but well.. the first 16 pages are really boring!!
so i thought maybe It’s not my type of books..
Shaden recomended “The Zahir”.. so i got the arabic version and started reading it… i was shocked how reading tend to be not boring at all.. i was attached to that book! i really liked it..
i don’t know how to talk about books.. and i don’t know what exactly that i liked about that book… but i liked the idea of reading!!!
many friends of mine “who pretty much don’t read unless they have to study” were asking me why did i start reading!! and told me to have a break from books.. “ma bekaffi el draseh?!”
After i officially finished reading my first i was so excited to read the next one… I wanted it to be a different style of books… so i grabbed “He’s Just Not That Into You” from the bookshelve at the bookstore… i knew it was nothing like my previous book.. but i wanted to see what’s it all about since i watched an interview with the writer on Oprah … i didn’t like it much… not my type of books.. so i decided to read another book by Paulo Coelho “The Alchemist” after many people recomended it… and so i did… and it’s amazing… i really don’t know what excatly that i liked about it… i even got bored reading it as he keep repeating similar ideas over and over… but well maybe that’s what i liked about his book… if i got the idea i really don’t have to read teh rest of the book and i start skipping pages
I never expect myself to read books in my free time.. i thought that was “not kool”… i confess that i was soooo wrong!! reading rocks! so for those of you who doesn’t read… just try to find the right book.. and you’ll love it

Aspirin :)
It’s been two months since I ran into this site while googling… and since then I told alomost everybody I know “and some people I don’t know as well” about it
It’s for Yazan Al-Rousan.. the name seemed familiar for me.. he used to perform with Rum Music… but i didn’t know he has an album!! a good album with nice songs!!
I really liked his music style.. it’s funny, rayga, and Jordanian!
a new genre, uncommon style of music inspired from usual life aspects
the album named “Aspirin”
I noticed when listening to one of the songs “wala hada bel share3″ that it was used as a soundtrack for the short movie “Suffi Suffi”!!
I just wanted more people to know about it so i thought about posting about it
