for the past week or so, i've been busy taking pics and shots with my new digital camera! (thank you Imad! ) i know i am still a beginner, but at the rate i'm going, chances are that i might improve pretty pretty soon! feel free to visit my gallery, i posted some of my recent pictures there! i'm quite in love with this new toy of mine and pleased with its performance so far.. i can easily say that right now life is kodak moment.. errr.. i mean a SONY digital moment!

"So, how do you feel now that you are exam-free?" asked me my friend over the phone. Naturally, my first reaction was giving off a radiating grin that almost went through the receiver right to the other end of the line
I'm ecstatic! So happy I could explode!! I thought to myself.. Yup, this is it.. It's just me and the real world from now on, I graduated! "You said it, free! That's what I am feeling right now.. Things are lookin good!", and we hung up. Ah yes.. Free of university and classes.. No more studying, deadlines, exams, assginments.. This is the life! I sat back, took a magazine, and tried to figure out what plans i have for the next day, sunday.. Sundays were usually consumed preparing for monday's presentations and lectures.. With that gone I had to come up with something.. Oh, I know, I'll pay my friend a visit.. Hang around at her place.. Problem sloved! I continued reading, then came to another pause.. What about next sunday? and the one after, and the one after?? My manic monday and gloomy wednesday afternoons at the faculty lounge! This can't be good! OH GOD! WHAT HAVE I DONE! That big bubble I was floating in just popped as I realized the impact of what is presently going on in my life!! Luckily, I managed to clear my thoughts soon enough.. It was all about anxiety and change..
I am scared of getting caught in routine, getting too lonely and of course of failing at work.. But I'm also grateful that I will get the chance to remain among my friends, happy to have accomplished so much so far, and excited now that I will get a better idea of who I am and what I am destined to do with my life..
So I guess it is pretty fair to say that things INDEED are lookin good afterall!

I was surfing the net the other day and I came across something that intrigued me and quite irritated me.. A small paragraph trying to lift the spirits of single girls, swaying them into thinking that they are special and that you are not a total freak if you live solo for a while! Single famles were reduced to "good" apples that usually hang way up on the tree.. Guys, too scared to climb up and break their backs, decide to pick up those apples with the lesser quality that lay about on the bottom branches or on the ground rotting.. Well guess what.. I happen to be single, but I certainly don't need such a pathetic silly excuse for not having found yet the one guy to pluck me off my branch!! I'm actually quite happy where I am, thank you very much!! Reading the whole thing, I came up with three conclusions:
1. Girls who are in a relationship are easy and 'decaying'!
2. Girls who are currently NOT hooked-up should live on the hope that someone with a ladder will eventually come along, because
3. Guys are short and cowrads!
I am not a feminist by nature, but reading that, I have to say something.. I think I speak for all of us "apples" when I say: Lay off and mind your own business!!!
