it seems that i still keep asking the same wonders, hold the same fears and dreams.....
despite of everything, still keep the same old dreams, and above all feeling grateful to be here among my beloved family...
despite of all, still grateful that i live here....
why all this big introduction, simply because when i read what i've wrote 3 years ago: i smiled and thanked Allah as i did 3 years ago -:)))
--------
now back to what i wrote :D
as recently alot of discussions had been raised about Egypt...and how it had been changed in the last 5 years to .......mmm...you know ;)
and i found my self answering by the same reply: well..i can't see me in any other country :(
--------------
I like to live in a conservative which has a space for others to live in peace ..
in Egypt: Here you can find the church & Masjed …and you can find the night clubs as well
(for sure I admit that lately there are some miss conceptions regard the strong religious movements, and many girls wear the scarf for some culture and social aspects...as some ppl judge you by ur dress and appearance ,u can tell a kind of lookism which didn't reach the racism point as in some other countries, thus still you can wear wt ever)
I can be a good …I can be a bad..wt ever I like……
Wanna live & let other live…I am glade for being here …..
Despite the fact, there are some –ve points concerning freedom of expression and some other things according to the human watch reports ..
and yes I admit that lately there are some miss conceptions regard the strong religious
But yesterday I sent an e-mail attached with a video clip to a friend in another country..he couldn't manage to open it as it was blocked by the national authorities there!!
And I surprised it s not a bad site to be obstructed…and i tried to send him another e-forum for bloggers i found it blocked as well !!!wow i like my country ..
here i can enter and chat with other..get closer with people all over the world..here i can invite some one to live in my place... and she/he can wear what ever he/she likes -people will understand his culture-..
and am glade that i can travel to meet young people -despite that sometimes i face alot of problems in the visa procedure ..am glade that i've access to the internet and open gates :)
am glade that i call my friends in every place...am glade that i can hang out with friends...am glade that i can speak up loudly ....
am glade that i can blog my dreams..fears...and share with all............
my thoughts remind me by another situation which I passed through, in an arab country to attend an event (this country supposed that it has round 92% or something of its population are muslims) , and one of the main policies of this country that they put Islamic Dress under inspection -not only that but in some official places they don't allow to enter with Hijab- ;
anyway I was waiting my turn to enter and after me there were a couple one of them wearing Hejab whom I don't know both of them…
as I was waiting to put my handbag in the machine & enter ; the security asked me something but I didn't hear it well so I asked him to repeat it again ,
I found him suspected that am pretending being a foreigner, unfortunately in improper way he asked me to present my local ID, and my badge wasn't enough to let me enter !!!
So I gave him my passport then he apologized, especially when he checked my title "I was a speaker !!" not only that but wasn't registered by egyptian organization but a Canadian one, so you can realize how he felt ....niha ha ha ,…
then he & the other security looked at the couple behind me and couldn't dare to ask them for the ID :)
-as people followed what they did with me-Really I dream to live in a world that people stop blaming other for being them for their way they dressed..Or coz of their religion, or way in living as soon as it is a peaceful way…..
