You are not alone !! I slept at 5:00AM and woke up at 8:00AM , I was working on some zeft project, and I couldn't acheive the task !! PAINFUL, aint it?!
We act in almost everything we do now.
It is like when you see someone you haven't seen in ages; after the little chat you have with him you just say "catch you later", you don't have his phone number or his email, but you just say that to him "we have to do something in the near future".
High heals, it is now part of the "typical Jordanian" girl, of course almost all of Jordanian girls think in the same way.
Beautiful, strange at the end I realized I wasn’t reading it. Seriously I was hearing your voice telling it, in my mind. I admire those who can see their inner minds crystal clear and translate it.
Tracy Chapman rocks
I saw her at a women's music festival in 1989. She sounded even better live than recorded
I should also disconnect from the net when I have work to do, because otherwise I end up reading and commenting on blogs, just like I am now.
I am convinced that high heels (especially stilettos) were invented by rapists so that women wouldn't be able to run away.
Hehe, and this is why I adore Lina
and ooh, that's why you didn't come! it was interesting.
Lina dear, I'm so sorry I only made it worse for you this morning. I should have been more understanding. Everyone has one of those bad mornings once in a while.
Glad you're feeling better I love your openness to allow simple things to brighten you up even when you're in a terrible mood!
I really enjoyed reading this. I agree- if only we could stop doing things because we have to. If only we could give up trying so hard to fit in a given mold, a pre-designed way of life- of dressing, of thinking, of spending our time, of dealing with people around us.
It's sad...
The Promise .... for Tracy Chapman ... mmmm... I love this song ...
"stop putting on masks and faking politeness", This sure made me grin! >:]
"I had only had three hours of sleep."
&
"I’m tired."
&
"stop wearing high heals", You sure seem tired Lina, because you don't sound as articulate as your usual self, up to the point that you are making unconscious mistakes (it's heels, LOL)! Go rest! At once!
"drinking two cups of coffee", Seriously now, you have to do something about this girl, it can get ugly, I've experienced it myself ...
"A friend of mine was giving a presentation at the Jordanian-Danish Dialogue center, at 6:00", What? I didn't know there was such a thing! :O
"I want to buy Tracie’s “New Beginning” Album… and I know, that if I go to Prime, I’ll walk out with a couple of books as well.", What a waste of good money! Ever heard of file sharing? 
And finally, When, oh WHEN are you gonna tell us about your job and MERYAN? Can't wait ...
And yeah, I HATE HaloScan, especially those smileys ---> ! :@
The lunatic is in my head! :O
Ah! Such days are horrible, I didn't get much sleep today anyway! Tracy Chapman eh? Finally someone who won't gawk and say "Huh?" when I say her name. Personal favorites:
Talkin' about a revolution
Across The Lines
You're the one
Why
For My lover
Ahhh.. it seems the list will go one forever. You should try listening to Alex Parks, I've got a hunch you're gonna like her music! I am rambling now! Never mention Tracy's name, or Amino will automatically fall into "yapping" mode.
"Stop the needless ‘mujamaleh’ and pleasantries, stop putting on masks and faking politeness."
Amen to that! I hear the word 'mujamaleh' too much in Jordan; it makes me sick.
"And for girls; stop wearing high heals."
I agree not all the time, and I relish the fact that I can wear flats most of the time and just avoid the pain. But sometimes, you just need to dress up and feel a little taller (you know for us shorties out there )
i haven't slept in 30 hours. I've done this about twenty times this year, the greatest thing about it is when you go home and you throw yourself on the bed (or in my case sofa) and sleep like there's no tomorrow.
LOL! Lovely post
WHAT'S WRONG WITH HEELS!?!??!
I adore high heels so much, and I honestly can care less about my lower back, my toes and my bloog circulation! REALLY! Let me wear my high heels, I have so few pleasure in life!
hehehe, anyway, I had fun at lunch today too, except I almost fell asleep in front of the computer at work. Then I went home and really DID fall asleep in front of the computer - now my neck is ruined. I love rambly posts; we'll have lunch ALWAYS if this is what you'll come up with after!
Lina, we love you too!
I did not get much sleep last night because i was drowning in a book I was reading
High heels ... ahhhh .. if girls only listen .. I really hate high heels!!
Lina, I always enjoy your company and the other day was wonderful .. so we really should do it more often .. but try to cut down on the coffee and listen more to Fairuz ... her angelic voice will destress you immediately
I think I will go sleep now to make up for last night
That is kind of scary, as it was the turn of your post to read for tonight, Tracy Chapman started to sing "The Promise" on my player!!
And then, for a moment I left the monitor, I just was strangely able to live the moments of your day as if I were you! You put the words in a magical order Lina :D
The worst feeling a person can get is when you have due issues that are not done yet, I don’t know about the high heels, but I think they hurt…
And you know what, there is nothing in this world that match a phone call or an email from a dear friend when you are in a need for such a sharing…
LOL, I knew you were talking about Hal. Btw, I reckon there is another reason for women wearing high heels; chest! :P
"the greatest thing about it is when you go home and you throw yourself on the bed (or in my case sofa) and sleep like there's no tomorrow.", Hareega, the worst thing is I can never have that! I tend to have troubles sleeping right away, I may stay up in bed for a couple of hours or even more regardless of how tired I am. 
Hmm, Cinema Paradiso..
This is one of the things that "litterally" carved the way I observe this world, Along with another master piece from Tornatore, MALENA.
I guess it all comes down to when u watch the movie, and why, I watched it when i was about 14, and have been obsessed over it since then...
regardless, I absolutly love the way u scatter ur thoughts in this post... beautiful
hi there,
it's my first time surfing in such a site "which is about jordan" but i truly like this site, and your article.
your opinions are personal in some how... sorry that i dont agree with you... any way keep going on and rock the way away.
ah.. about the music,,, hmmm, wold you please try to listen to lean rhimes, or the american jewish singer "leonard kohin" frankly... all girls adore him because of his sound , specially in a song called "dance me".
take care.
Anas abdalla mushainish
I love your post min kol albi
especialy the high heals I dont wear it even in parties :S
coz i want to move without any stress
Now that is a proper Lina post , say no more.
I also have a topic for you, the difference in blogging between student life and working life ... a while back you told me something to the effect its the same. Do you still believe that?
Paragraph I agree with most: Stop doing things...(my way in life)
Paragraph I disagree with most: Girls; stop wearing high heals...( leash bedik it7'arbi 3a shabab..ya )
Well I see stress only gets the best out of you Lina. Enjoyed each bit of the post.
Tracy chapman change is indeed wonderful.the lyrics!
If you knew that you would die today
Saw the face of god and love
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that love can break your heart
When you're down so low that you cannot fall
Would you change?
Would you change?
How bad, how good, does it need to get?
How many losses? how much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around
Makes you try to explain
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change
Makes you change
If you knew that you would be alone
Knowing right, being wrong,
Would you change?
Would you change?
If you knew that you would find a truth
That would bring a pain that can't be soothed
Would you change?
Would you change?
Anyhow,Im anti those "sarsour bel zawyeh" shoes as well. they just make one look funny! Aaaand I cant afford to wear heals:p(the world would look too different from above then:p) which suits me just fine!
Ma azkake Lina , I can see you when you were writing this post.
you reminded me of my self when you said:
"I wish I had more time for writing. I wish I had more time to carry out all the ideas I get and to write all the features that I have in mind."
Ahhhhh ... dont tell me about that ,I know exactly what you mean
And by the way ...
I wish i can stop doing things just becoz i have to , we always say so but can we really do it?! am not sure !
I like this post very much. As Hussam said, I really could hear your voice telling it!
I think there is something about it that made me feel it's expressing my feelings and thoughts!
ı love anas
