The most thrilling and unforgettable Eid Al adha holiday was reaching the top of the Al Ula plateau, a height of more than thousand meters, overlooking the town of Ula. The chill of chasing the sunset was awesome and having a group of friends who are just as lovely as the sunset, what more can we ask?
Here’s an example of “forever lover at sunset” a story beyond aka (Richard and Dawn … I”m sorry I was not able to take the story of “Coco and Julia” as my shots are over -exposed.
“Trust me” and everything will be alright, that’s how we build relationship supposedly.. Will you take his/her word? I believe not, that’s more likely a movie ending not a business decision.
I am looking for a nice word that will not ruin the relationship that was built on “trust” but I guess I can’t find the right term. Would I dwell for a “tooth for a tooth” or an” eye for an eye” ?
Will I just keep quite and let the cruise find its way and be cursed at the end or shall I lead the way so people close to you will be spare from hurting themselves or others.
Trust and loyalty are big deals when you are in position of leadership, because everyone wants to be your friend for specific reasons. And everyone else doesn’t like you for the same reasons.
There are others who break trust in order for them to get up into ladder , who cares if they are stepping into others shoes, they want to be the top and wears the best!
Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere and no matter how you balance things still people will be affected. how would you draw the line between keeping a secret so as not to hurt others and revealing the secret so as not to hurt yourself?
It seems there’s no happy ending, it’s a vicious cycle of one’s wish to acquire monetary gains as opposed to live with integrity. How can people sleep at night or look into your eyes knowing they did betray your trust?
“the men /women who can not endure his/her errors and shortcomings brought to the surface and made known, but tries to hide them, is unfit to walk the highway of truth.”… James Allen
There are two barriers that often prevent communication between the young and their elders. The first is the middle aged forgetfulness of the fact that they are no longer young. The second is youthful ignorance of the fact that the middle-aged are still alive. and if the two come together, the only left things to say is…Money talks but can’t buy trust and loyalty!
I was looking for my cheque book to pay the house rent, I came across this old picture of mine taken in Kan Zaman Restaurant 1993 ,Amman, Jordan. It’s an old farm-house converted into classical arabic restaurant.
I wonder, why i was carrying a jug on my head? Tourist curiosity? ha ha ha
Vermeer’s Young woman with a water jug – and WHAT MEN AND WOMEN ARE HOPING FOR MARRIAGE by Julie and Robert Jensen.
Aesthetic realism shows that the questions of marriage are aesthetic questions, answered in art.
Though we felt we needed each other, we also resented each other, because too much we used our care for each other to put the rest of the world aside. In his 1964 lecture, The Furious Aesthetics of Marriage,Eli Siegel explains:
To marry a person has been, in the history of love and marriage, the finding of a shelter against the world as unpleasant….Love, in other words, can be a means of shelter from a unkind world,…or it can be a means of intensifying, affirming, extending, subtilizing a care for the world.
Vermeer’s purpose, as he looked at this woman, was to use her as a means of “intensifying, affirming, extending, subtilizing a care for the world.”
I am not sure, if you continued reading the article but let me do my realistic (aesthetic) interpretation of my picture, whether i am an artist or not.
I think every woman carries a water jug , the JUG represents the multifunction existence of a woman.Ladies can juggle task (multi tasking), work for longer hours and yet when she comes home every one expect her to bring home dinner! She is very delicate and soft but noticed her other hand on her waist, it resemble strength and balance but how long do you think she can carry the jug?
WATER represents the flow of life.Hmmm, I wonder whether it is cold or hot? Probably when she is mad , she carries hot water! 😦 It is up to her to carry the weight or let someone carry it for her or look for someone to help her. She can carry it empty, half empty, half full or full.
Lunch at 3:30pm with my two sons, one 16 yrs old and the other is 25 yrs. old, we were discussing about how children response to their mom at certain age. At 16, “mom is annoying” and at 25, ”mom you’re right”. my eldest son commented that my youngest always gets around (kayang kaya si mama) yay! really? oh well, beauty beyond fifty can’t remember all the conversation (again!) but are moms really annoying? am I annoying?
xoxo
hmmmm let me count 🙂 my way!
What did you say? What? (at increasing tone of low to high note)
well, I can’t hear properly, I think I have a problem with my ears, or my understanding of your English accent. Or maybe, I have worked so long in the dental machine that my hearing are already affected. Or maybe you’re eating your words (accent wise) or maybe I just could not relate or doesn’t get the analogy. In other words, just repeat…explain and presto! I will understand.
Clean your room! (an order or rule)
It will probably take about an hour to clean a small room but it will take only seconds to mess it up again. everything is on the floor, glasses and plates on the table, dust everywhere.. to exaggerate..its like hurricane had just passed! Would it be nice to have a clean, neat well-organized room? ahhh what a refreshing scene after a tiring day at work.
Did you do your homework? (frowning…smiling…low or high volume)
How many minutes to finish homework? fifteen…thirty…an hour? how many minutes in FB or social network or games? sure more than an hour or two or maybe more! You have a long day, mom have a long day…at the end of the day..it is your homework, without homework grades suffers at the end, mom suffers too! got what i mean?
Prepare your bag! (a must do or rule)
Heavy bag full of books , i just can’t wait to drop and kick you at the corner, then again to check and prepare? OMG, let me just look at you for a while and stays there until the following day (I’m talking to myself with the bag) … no…no… preparing bag ahead of time is for you to check if you forgot something. After all, subjects the following day are different from today. Being ready and organized will surely make your life easy. Amen!
Did you do exercise? watch your diet, don’t eat too much! (repeated every time)
waaa! why can’t I be left alone? I’ll eat what I want, do exercise if I want…this is my body…I love the food, you can’t starve me to the rest of my life…I’m too young to die! of course, this is overstatement but if you think about it…having a balanced diet and exercise will lead to good physique and good mind which will equal to good health!
beautybeyondfifty loves to eat ice cream and chocolates and what’s the excuse? oh well, I spent two quarters of my life maintaining my figure (and brain) a little of indulgence wont hurt! 🙂 sounds familiar?
Oh no! you’re at the gym 2-3 times a week but haven’t lost any kilo, well at least I maintained it and besides, hormonal imbalance…ladies physiological changes from having the monthly period to pregnancy and to menopausal stage. right? blame it to the moon he he he he.
Writing in capital letters or using dot dot dot (….)
Your mom in FB? twitter, Skype, blog? cool…but wait… why is she writing in bold capital letters? Is she mad? She sounds like yelling (sound? what sound? I am not yelling, i am writing not talking) and whats the dot dot dot for (….) what? what do you mean? ha ha ha ha here’s the WHAT again!(stop yelling)… dot…dot… stop!
