There is still hope

There is still hope I believe
There is still some light in these dark night I see
yes I am so happy tonight because there is still hope that Egypt will be fine and it will cross safely this mirage of Division .
After the incident of Alexandria and all this talk about Muslims and Christians ,about claims and threats, about hate and anger , about truth and lies ,about moderation and radicalism and about Egypt ,I was so scared what is going to happen after this ?
The Quran was being made fun of , Churches doors and glasses were destroyed
The two elements that stood against the British Empire are getting away from each other
Lets admit that we did what the British failed in ,whether Muslims or Christians.
Yet tonight I regained my hope that Everything can be changed to be better than it is now .
My Dear friend Dr.Ramy Karam decided and he is now in the United States to fast Monday just like the Muslims along with some friends ,
It is small thing that may be the number of those who will know it is not big number ,but despite it is small thing from outside ,it is big thing from inside
especially when You know Dr.Karam is Christian "I really don't like saying this Muslim and this Christians because we are all Egyptians , and I was raised on not saying this Muslim and this Christian as we are all humans and Egyptians"
Dr.Karam wrote an excellent post in his Beyond Normal about why he is doing so .
Away from the media and away the officials ,a simple citizen is doing this is much important than an official doing it
I believe in something Gandhi once said 'Be the Change you want to see in the world ' ,also I believe in 'A man's faith can turn to be a Crusader' .
Bless you Doctor Karam and I wish Accepted Fasting and delicious Breakfast.

A day in the stars Center

Oh oh boy I am dying when I am writing this and ironically I have to update my MSN Space too and not even in the same topic no Copy and paste ,it is another thing
Anyway today without no introduction I went to Stars Center in City Stars ,Madinet Nasr ,First you have to know I live in Agouza Area ,so Madinat Nasr where City Stars is ,is a travel for me ,already everything is available where I live but what can you say I am girl like any girl loves shopping and it isn't like in any shopping when Benetton, Levi's and Mango open in Egypt.
And not to mention Virgin Mega Stores Egypt branch "Do you know that my graduation projects in Business Administration this Year was to open a same kind of Stores in Egypt ,but what Can u say Amad Adib took my idea!!!!!!"
I know that I shouldn't go while fasting ,but I got nothing to do so I went there and after terrible trip in Taxi accompanied with My Aunt 'She couldn't take the Car to Madinat Nasr as she doesn't know the Street well there',We arrived thank God and of course over the October Bridge I saw the other face of Egypt I didn't see before ,it is strange when you see a billboard of Mango and under it semi houses that people live in .
Anyway we arrived ,and of Course the first shop we went in to was Abd-Samd El-Qorashi, we love bokhor and his bokhor is Excellent despite his big big prices ,We bought some small Quantity ,we cannot afford buying 1000 E.P of Bokhor
To say the truth Stars Center is really impressive whether the building itself or the inerior design or how clean it is ,the Cafes and the restaurants ,it is so impressive also the names of the shops are so impressive.
First we went to Mango to see if something fits me as Petite ,already friend living in Dubai told me once that Mango the famous Spanish brand is suitable for me, So I had some hopes to get me some nice stuff and frankly I thought it won't be that expensive but .....
I was wrong the Gypsy short skirt that I don't know where can I dress it except in something of a Party is for 600 E.P ,yes I swear it is
and all what in the shop is on the same level of price
I even found a beige Coat ,I love coats ,but I got nasty problem that I am short ,,so I need a coat with a specail cut to suite my short petite shape, this Coat looked fine, yet it is for 1465 E.P something !!!!!!!a pair of gloves there is worth 96 E.P
My Aunt said a funny comment 'Are telling me that this Colombo coat worth 1000 E.P?!"
and so we left Mango with nothing in our hands
In front of it was Benetton ,the united Colors ,already I remember it was for Egypt then Closed after problems with the franchisee ,I was encouraged as I saw many people buying stuff from it ,but I was mistaken , two things I noticed in Benetton ,all the products either made in Syria or Italy ,yes Syria .
other thing is that the material isn't so great that worth the hundreds of pounds on the price label
I didn't like the material at all ,yes nice colors, but people use your minds, not because it is labeled of Benetton then it will be worth it
And so we left Benetton wit nothing in our hands
Where did we go ? to Bella Dona ,My favorite Cloth shop along with Newman and Rodiar
funny already the three shops got several branches nearby where I live
I bought nice stuff from Bella Donna
To where than ? to My idea and my dream place ,to Virgin Mega Store ,and as I entered I went immediately to the Book Section and Guess what I bought two novels one for Dame Agatha Christy and the other is the da Vinci Code ,all Book stores around me is selling the Arabic Translation and I wanted the original , Virgin mega store is great ,sellers are so nice ,and there I made my first encouter with A Mac PC for the first time and I discovered one thing it is not worth ,I didn't like the Keyboard or mouse , the LCD is fine ,but the idea of having one computer Piece is not practical in Egypt
The Prices of Computer programs there are Excellent I found Microsoft Encarta 2006 5Cds with a DVD only 270 E.P ,I was going to buy it ,except I postponed it till I buy a new Hard Drive as Mine is reaching its limits now
Not to mention the music section or the DVD Section ,it is best in Egypt ,yes indeed ,but they indeed to increase the Book section to include more Arabic Novels .
After that I went to Levi's store ,yet I didn't like anything there ,my Mobacco Newman Jeans collection that I have are still in good shape
after we left the place so we can reach our home before breakfast
This is was my day in Stars Center
Now I got a piece advice of some couple shops there , Decrease your price, you will increase your number of Customers
I have the JC penny catalogs with freemans of England ,both with currencies differences and fright in cost will be cheaper than buying from these expensive places
People we don't steal the Money ,but we earn it with hard work

The Egyptian Intelligence Jubilee

Did you know that this Year the Egyptian Intelligence is celebrating its 50th year anniversary? Yes it is its Jubilee, it was established in Year 1955, and Yes we celebrating this important occasion by producing this stupid TV Series "Agent 1001".
I was surprised from few months when I read in the Al-Akhbar newspaper, a small little article about this silent body, the name of the journalist who wrote it was there and that's why I guessed that someone from the intelligence service itself wrote it.
First you must know that I am from the generation that was raised upon the Writings of Dr.Nabil Farouk; my favorite series books in my teenage hood were The Impossible Man: Adham Sabri and Cocktail 2000 instead of Abair romantic series, Farouk wasn't the first to introduce me to this world but it were the great legend of Espionage literature in Egypt: Saleh Morsi 'Author of Rafaat El-Hagan' and Ibrahim Massoud
My favorite spy story for Saleh Morse which turned me upside down and made me till now respect this service in Egypt is not Rafaat El-Hagan, to say the truth I didn't read till now, my favorite was Samia Fahmy, the Egyptian Communist journalist whose great love to her finance didn't stop her from informing that the later was a spy for Iseral.
This is the greatest kind of Romance ever, she loved her Finance so much but she is mad in love with her Country
This novel was the start than Came Massoud's "Dalia in the Spies trap", it was made a movie starring Mahmoud Abd El-aziz and Hala Sadky, a good one, this story I love it too.
The two books "I still have Samia Fahmy two parts books' were the introduction to Dr.Nabil Farouk
Already I had got a good and strong background before I entered it, no white Color, I remember even I knew few about the Scandal of Egyptian intelligence which Farouk doesn't want to speak about it , but I speak about it
then Came Adham Sabri, the Egyptian Arabic version of James Bond 007, I was for the few who read the No.1, 2 and 3 from the impossible Man, to say the truth I wasn't attracted so much to Sabri, the super man who fights an army and knows all kind of Martial arts, the sexy man who all women fall in love with in the first sign, the Walking encyclopedia who knows 10 living and dead language ,you know I just wish that Sabri goes a country where He doesn't its native languages and accent
I bet you realized I am bit aggressively Criticizing this Sabri ,but as I informed you before already I wasn't small little girl ,I was exactly 12 years old ,who got a simple yet strong background ,one thing for sure no human got these super talents even James Bond ,Bond only knew English his mother tongue, French and German his own mother languages , Bond's mom was from Switzerland ,and Of course the Russian with love ' I told I know that world well enough' , only four language Bond knows them ,while the No.1 rare spy of Egypt knows every language on this Earth.
Another thing I hate about Sabri, the romance, the women fight over him, His babes Mona and Gihan not to mention Sonia who is always wearing a Haute Courtier semi Portal –semi naked Dress day and night, of course he loves Mona for ages and yet they don't have time for marriage, a surprise for you I was among the Minority who favored Gihan on Mona ,Mona is a typical Bond Babe who is just there to be kidnapped to blackmail Sabri ,and Sabri always saves the gal , the world and the day.
Don't get me wrong but I have until now big Crashes to Sabri but in not the regular series editions, but the Special editions, the Special editions about the real A.S in real life, his adventures in Iseral during the war and after it, Farouk is saying day and night that there is a real A.S of course not with the Robot superman qualification of Sabri, but in human qualification
I believe 50% that A.S is a real person like you and me, and 50% I believe A.S is not just one man but many men Farouk read about them in the files of the intelligence archive
Anyway I am bit a girl after all ,if Mr.A.S comes one day visiting this humble Egyptian blog ,I will say I love Mr.A.S ,I love more than many VIPs in Egypt including GM 'Hey Farah'
I will stop here as I talked so much and ironically in side talks not away yet not so near to our main topic that is the Jubilee but this is the first time I talk about myself and my hobbies which among them is discovering unknown worlds including the Espionage World, next time I will Complete talking about the Egyptian Intelligence itself and also Agent 1001

The Play of Alexandira

So Does it really Insult the Islam that the church Must Apologize officailly for its Support and bless to its production or what?
Find out Yourself ,Not through Newspapers
It is available in El-Fares ElAkhair blog
This time we won't use the Group mind salah Elsaadni referred to in BitBatik Yesterday but our logic
