a Day in Hurghada


i really do like working in the city of hurghada. at first i didn't think that it is possible for a web 2.0 based company or something that hi tec at all to exist in Hurghada, but lucky me :)


it is nice to have a company that is in a magical place like hurghada where u can have lunch in a nice place by the beach and go back to work with a clear mind (that is what u need for writing hardcore c# and AJAX ) nice this pic is in the morning b4 lunch


this picture is from a place called felfela where we go frequently to have lunch the place is amazing by the sea open air area, and it has a wide variety of food selection from "fool & Falafel" with all the possible variations and it has a nice grill and seafood menu also not forgetting the egyption Tagen and mahshi menu and also soft drinks



and back to work after being refreshed :P

in the airport

sitting here enjoying the wireless free inrternet connection thanks again to AVIT, infront of me sat an italian couple they weren't a married couple yet and seemed very much inlove (i know i'll get comments)

anyway in 5 minutes two italian mums came in the hall with a bunch of kids ages all less than 5 very, very cute

and the nice chick from the nice couple started to ignore the guy that she was with and started playing with the kids

the guy has these scared feelings about his girlfriend interest in children, now she's been playing with the kids for 20 mins and the guy is trying not to seem scared "YES IT SHOWS"..

love

love is meant to b a good thing righ?

Ace of base blast from the past

when i was visiting a friend of mine in his home his son was playing i coudn't shake this song of my head



Take a walk in the park when you feel down
There's so many things there
that's gonna lift you up
See the nature in bloom a laughing child
Such a dream, oooh

It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo
It's a beautiful life, oh oh ooo
I just wanna be here beside you
I just wanna be here beside you
and stay until the break of dawn

You're looking for somewhere to belong
You're standing all alone
for someone to guide you on your way
Now and Forever

Vall....smthng day



it's not just me i downloaded this image today from amazon.com , google.com
and also
here & here


Egypt Diagonally one more thing

though the minor annoyances i love the experience of travelling this time usually i am home beat dont wanna do anything else

Egypt Diagonally

i live and work in hurghada but i was raised and born in Alexandria
"me beyotfl seetyyy"

i love alexandria no matter how much people keep telling me hoe nice hurghada is (it is nice n' peaceful and all but..)

i donno today i decided to travel diagonally across egypt southeast==>northwest form hurghada to alexndria

there's no reasonable transportation that takes you between the two cities (although they both have international airports)

well here we go, after a week of planning the trip i started early in the morning this is my street in hurgahda @ 5:30 am this morning, there's nothing moving in the street even stray dogs are asleep i was wondring what can take me to the airport at that time, i was ecstatic when i found a taxi coming to the street this early in the morning he drove fast as the streets were empty and we got to the airport in no time where i waited for my flight of course security officials have stopped us after we passed the airport gate and asked for my ID and where i was heading, well this is the first time that happens to me in the airport, being christian and shaved didn't raise much suspecious and the guard let us on our way

it was nice weather in hurghada it's also one of the few times i travel by plane in the morning this time i had the chance to watch from the window it was nice, at night i don't get to see much i was happy with the experience the plane was rather empty usually it's packed i think it's too early for tourists to move around, good for me can't complain.

this is a picture of a possible resort which i don't know its name (couldn't see the sign from that high above sorry)


it was very foggy in Cairo that the plane had to turn around after we were almost touching the gound we were unable to see anything off the windows when were closer to the ground

i stepped out of the plane thanking god everyone on the plane was worried when the plane engines roared back up when we were suppose to touch the ground :), Egyptian pilots are supposed to be the best pilots even back in the days when i used to travel with my family on other airlines they always seemed assured when the pilot is egyptian; but ofcourse we get to suffer the monopoly of a single doemstic airline in egypt (prices, finishing touches,...)

first thing i did when i landed is to call people who i care about and say i'm here and coming to Alex, was nice to hear people voices instead of just mails and SMSs

when i got to the airpot i was planning to check for a west delta or a superjet bus to go to alexandria they are supposed to be coming to the airport, if the bus was after 9:00 am i'd get a taxi to the railway station and get the 9:00 am train so i went to the booth and asked the guy assured that there's a bus coming @ 8:30 so setteld i'm staying. waited with an old lady that wants to go to alexandria too talkative uneducated (shows from accent and topics) but very nice @ 8:45 i found out that the guy can't promise the BUS!!!! which is very weird for me,

after insulting him politly i took a taxi which drove through the morning traffic in Cairo (it's been a while since i did that) and got to the Train station no problem booked my ticket had an hour to spare so. i walked around bought a couple of magazines and Guess what

i walked in the cafeteria where i usually sit and it looks like this it's become a very nice place there's not even a single empty table in the whole place, i'd upload the other side of the wall for you to see two plasma Screens but there's too much picture in this post

of course it doesn't lack the egyptian management touches you can see Fans instead of air conditioning and the same old annoying "2ahwa balady" waiter type; the same people actually that fat waiter has just pulled a chair from the table right next to me without even asking the guy sitting on that table, made me apologize to the guy and left

the trip was normal i did a little sight seeing on the train but that was about it

Stronger Clarification

bo2bo2 land: Stronger

just in case : i had too many questions and A phone call about this post

it's just that i got an epiphany from a previous experiece something that happened years ago that affects my life today; nothing new happened to my life

Anything Else


i can only say WTF
i didn't know such a movie existed, or such script is possible

the plot is very tight and causes you to have high blood pressure

charachters are very well profiled you believe everyone's point of view but you don't believe how can he/she think this way

the movie is great if you han't seen it find it now and see it

again all performances are amazing one shot in particular when Dobel, Folk his Amanda and her mother are all together at home and everybody is talking this scene is just amazing the scene is more tense when a phone call comes in ....

Monkey's Head



"Fire Coming Out Of A Monkey's Head"

Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain,
there was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived,
their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world,
obscured as it was by great clouds.
Here they played out their peaceful lives,
innocent of the litany of excess and violence that was growing in the world below.
To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough.
Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town.
They came in camouflage, hidden behind dark glasses, but no one noticed them: they only saw shadows.
You see, without the Truth of the Eyes, the Happyfolk were blind.

Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes
Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home
Jump out from behind them and shoot them in the head
Now everybody dancing the dance of the dead,
the dance of the dead,
the dance of the dead

In time, Strangefolk found their way into the higher reaches of the mountain,
and it was there that they found the caves of unimaginable Sincerity and Beauty.
By chance, they stumbled upon the Place Where All Good Souls Come to Rest.
The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things,
and soon they began to mine the mountain, its rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world.
Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly,
their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls.
Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain.
Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?
And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain,
holes began to appear, bringing with them a cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of the monkey.
For the first time, the Happyfolk felt fearful for they knew that soon the Monkey would soon stir from its deep sleep.
And then came a sound. Distant first, it grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space.
There were no screams. There was no time.
The mountain called Monkey had spoken.
There was only fire.
And then, nothing.

O little town in U.S.A, your time has come to see
There's nothing you believe you want
But where were you when it all came down on me?
Did you call me now?




it's more of a story, i think it's their best writing but i don't considure it a good music to listen to, they've totally done better than that.
