CONFUSED


ok finally I came up with this conclusion..
some people should not be treated nicely :|!
when u'r nice to them they think u'r weak and they make fun of u. and that's surprisingly weird 'cuz once u show a different attitude other than 'nice' u find 'em respecting u!. I treat ppl the way I like to be treated, and that's only bcuz I feel bad when I don't. it's my nature! I wish I never have to meet such people so I won't have to act like that and feel bad about myself later. even if they deserve it

World's Friendliest Countries: Bahrain


The Middle East has long had a reputation for being one of the world's perennial trouble spots. But for expatriates, the tiny Persian Gulf county Bahrain ranks as one of the most welcoming places to work.

That's the surprising result of a new survey of 3,100 expatriates conducted by HSBC Bank. Bahrain ranked first in one key measure of how easy it is for expatriates to set up a new life for their families. It received high marks from expats who like the country's easy access to modern health care, decent and affordable housing, and network of social groups that expatriates can join.

Canada, which ranked first in a similar survey last year, fell to second place on HSBC's integration score, which measures how easily foreigners and their families can settle into a new country. Australia, Thailand and Malaysia rounded out the top five. Foreign workers in these countries found it easy to make local friends and said they enjoyed a higher quality of life than in their native countries.

Gandhi Quotes

A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind

Prayer is a confession of one's own unworthiness and weakness
Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.
The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea.
You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty

Memorable Quotes from Amelie Poulain the movie


Absence makes the heart grow fonder

The fool looks at a finger that points at the sky.

At least you'll never be a vegetable - even artichokes have hearts.

Life's funny. To a kid, time always drags. Suddenly you're fifty. All that's left of your childhood... fits in a rusty little box.

So, my little Amélie, your bones aren't made of glass.
You can take life's knocks. If you let this chance go by,
eventually, your heart will become as dry and brittle
as my skeleton. So, go ahead

I like to look for things no one else catches. I hate the way nobody ever looks at the road in old movies."

The girl with the glass...maybe her thoughts are with somebody else. Somebody in the picture? More likely a boy she saw somewhere and felt an affinity with. You mean she'd rather imagine herself relating to an absent person than build relationships with those around her? Maybe she tries hard to fix other people's messy lives.
but What about her? Her own messy life? Who'll fix that?
Amélie: It's better to help people than a garden gnome

Failure teaches us that life is but a draft, a long rehearsal for a show that will never play

We pass the time of day to forget how time passes

Arabic oldies ~ فى قلب الليل



ف قلب الليل
وعزف الصمت متهادى كموج النيل
ف قلب الليل
وبرد الخوف بيتكتك سنان الخيل
ومافى حد ف الشارع
سوى مهر اتربط جازع
ف شجرة سنط وأنا والصمت
وبرد الليل وخوف الليل
وصهل المهر لم أفهم أخوف منى أمتعاجب
سألت المهر لم يفهم كلام منى ولا جاوب
وكان ف عينيه برئ منى
كإنه كان بيسألنى وقفت انظرله ينظرلى
وانظرله وينظرلى
ولما صار كماخلى
فتحنا أبواب حكاوينا وتهنا فى أغانينا
ف برد الليل وخوف الليل وحزن الليل
وكان فى جيده قيد جارحه
وقيد فى جيدى مالمحه
لكن حسه أكيد حسه
وفجأه لقينا احلامنا وصهل الفجر ف عيوننا
مسكت قيوده فكيتها صهل بمعانى حسيتها
وصار يجرى وينسانى وأنا باجرى ف طريق تانى
ف برد الليل وخوف الليل وحزن الليل
وبعد كتير
ف ليل تانى لقيته لوحده من تانى
فى جيده يقيده قيد تانى
صهل تانى
ماردتشى
وباقى لوحدى أنا بامشى
ف برد الليل وخوف الليل وحزن الليل

cute song

there u go again talking cinematic ~ u'r charming, got everybody star struck
I know how u always seem to go for the obvious instead of me ~ but get a ticket and u'll see
if we were a movie, u'd be the right guy ~ and I'd be the best friend that u fall in love with
in the end we'd be laughing ~ watching the sunset
fade to black ~ show the names ~ play the happy song
when I call u, can't u hear it in my voice? wanna see me? and tell me all about her
I'll be acting through my tears
Guess u'll never know that I should win an Oscar for the scene am in
Wish I could tell you there's a twist ~ some kind of hero in disguise
and we're together ~ it's for real ~ now playing
Wish I could tell you there's a kiss ~like something more than in my mind
I see it could be amazing
If we were a movie, you'd be the right guy
and I'd be the best friend that you fall in love with
in the end we'd be laughing, watching the sunset
Fade to black~ show the names
play the happy song

Good & Broken


are you overloaded, candy coated
Your life's imploding now ?
There's a risk worth taking. a pain worth aching on this hollow ground
we can let go, don't hold on to all of life's hardest parts
We can break out of here, jump on over there where the air is clearer
We can Forget the pace, Win in our own race
Become a broken chain, We are broken chains ~ Good and broken
~

it takes more strength to let go

I can't believe she's gone..I try to occupy my time with work and people so as not to think much about it, but I was at her house and the 1st thing I did was looking for her in every room, for a second it seemed like a silly joke then I realized she's really gone. many memories came flooding back and that was the hardest part. I used to love her smile, her elegance, her smell, and now I hate that it's just fading away ...
at times I used to think it'd be better for her and for all of us, and that's what I regret most, I was only being selfish, I didn't realize I'd miss her that much.. even after all the troubles we have faced, she left and it's not any better, just the pain of her farewell .
it's not that I can't see her any more, the thing is that I see her constantly like she's right beside me, she's always in my mind, and it seems like everybody's taking it well except for me. it's been more than a month and I just can't seem to accept it. sometimes it takes more strength to let go than to keep holding on. maybe I'm not that strong? I dont know...,I know she's in a better place, but I just wish I had spent more time with her when I could. but I have to move on even if i dont want to.
To anyone who reads this, cherish the people in your life because you dont know when they might have to go..


Rest in peace my Grandmother
I love you

Killing me softly


I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
and so i came to see and listen for a while
and there he was this young boy a stranger to my eyes
Struming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
killing me softy with his song
telling my whole life with his words
~
I felt all flushed with fever ~ Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on struming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
killing me softy with his song
telling my whole life with his words
~
he sang as if he knew me
In all my darkness fair and then he looked right through me as if i wasn't there
and he kept on singing.. singing clear and strong
Struming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
killing me softy with his song
telling my whole life with his words
killing me softly with his song
KILLING ME SOFTLY ~

Take me back to the Start


Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry, you don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you, Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
lets go back to the start
Running in circles, Comin' in tails ~ Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy! , It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy, No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessin' at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Runnin' in circles, Chasin' tails ~ Comin' back as we are
Nobody said it was easy ~ it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy ~ No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm goin' back to the start

I'd lie

I dont think this passenger seat has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night and I count the colours in his eyes
He'll never fall in love he swears, as He runs his fingers through his hair ~ I'm laughing cuz I hope he's wrong
and I dont think it ever crossed his mind, He tells a joke I fake a smile, But I know all his favourite songs
and I could tell u, his favourite colour is Green, he likes to argue, born on the 17th
his sister's beautiful, He has his father's eyes, and if u asked if I love him, I'd lie
He looks around the room, innocently overlooks the truth
shouldnt a light go on, doesnt he know that I have had him memorized for so long
He sees everything black and white, doesnt let anybody see him cry
I dont let nobody see me wishing he was mine
yes I could tell you, his favourite colour is Green, he loves to argue and it kills me
his sisters beautiful, He has his father's eyes,
and if u asked me if i love him,
I'd lie

The Closest thing to Crazy



this is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been-
feeling twenty two, acting seventeen ~

this is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known, I was never crazy on my own ~
and now I know that there's a link between the two ~
being close to craziness and being close to you

Anna and the king ~

I cried for two days after watching that movie
it's so beautiful that you wish you were a part of it,
even though they never declared their love to each others and it was sad, but this is the way it was supposed to end. simply great . ~

Forever and Always


Once upon a time, I believe it was a Tuesday when I caught your eye
we caught onto something
I hold onto the night, you looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
Were you just kidding? 'cuz it seems to me, this thing is breaking down
We almost never speak ~ I don't feel welcome anymore
babe what happened, please tell me 'cuz one second it was perfect, now you're halfway out the door

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called
And then you feel so low, you cant feel nothing at all
And you flashback to when he said "Forever and always"

and it rains in your bedroom
Everything is wrong, It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone
Cause I was there when He said "Forever and always"

Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide ~ Like a scared little boy
I looked into your eyes, I Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure
So here's everything ~ coming down to nothing
Here's to silence that cuts me to the core
Where is this going? I Thought I knew for a minute, but I don't anymore

And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called
and then you feel so low ~ you cant feel nothing at all!! and you flashback to when he said forever and always

"cuz I was there when you said "Forever and always
You didn't mean it babe

~
