If we can laugh, our heart-aches disappear!
Our minds become freed off tensions and stress;
If we make others laugh, they lose their fear,
And become dear, starting to us caress.

a dream come true
my cousin, with whom i am very close friends, has recently had a baby boy. she has always dreamed of being a mother, and feared not being able to conceive. 2 years into her happy marriage, she finally had her dream completed.
mabrouk ya a7la mama!
i miss you so and can't wait till i see the little angel.

"banana pancakes"
now that i have hurt my knee and i have to keep it propped up in order to easy away the pain, i have time to write whatever on my blog.
i finally decided to join a gym. i am known to hate gyms, i can't stand the idea of spending time on a machine that doesn't move or take you anyplace. but i was motivated by my 'untoned' figure and the fact that the gym is very close to my house (i just have to cross the street the walk a little bit to get to it). i became a member on a friday, and the next thursday, at around 6.30 p.m, i was taken to the hospital. i hurt my knee while doing some moves in an aerobics class. athough i hate going to a gym, but i love sports. i walk a lot, LOVE to cycle on a real moving bicycle. i also in-line skate and swim when i have the chance. i would love to have the opportunity to be able to take up a sport professionally. anyway, not to digress too much, at the hospital, the doctor decided that what my knee went through was a sprain and i had to rest my leg and take the medication prescribed: anti-inflammatory pills. now more than a week into the injury, i'm still stuck at home, knee propped up and free time on my hands. i haven't gone to work for a week. somehow, somewhere in my brain, i feel guilty for skipping so many classes at school and i feel terribly sorry for the teachers who have to replace me.
how am i spending my time?
i have gone back to a novel i started reading a year ago and stopped having time for. it is called IN THE EYE OF THE SUN by AHDAF SOUEIF, an egyptian writer. i like the novel because of the rich background that it has, and because of the character of the main character, asia. asia ( pronounced: as-ya) is an egyptian girl who is not so egyptian, yet not so english. it is difficut to summarize what i have read in the book, as the book is 790 pages.
i am also using the internet more often. i have sent emails to people that i have recently unwillingly ignored, and i am actually reading the forwards that i usually delete before reading.
oh and on the day that i injured my knee, my cousin gave birth to a baby boy. so i am using my free time now to talk with her about her new baby and to look at his photos.
one drawback, though, for being stuck at home is the december sun outside that i'm missing and the fact that i have to buy gifts! i can't even ask my sisters to do it for me, because the gifts are for them!
now that you've read my most recent post, click on the link to the novel above and read it. it's quite interesting.
p.s: banana pancakes can only be part of the kind of breakfast that is brought to one's bed.
