I am lying down on the couch,watching TV,Lebanese TV,with a lot of music and trilingual songs...The presenter is just stunning and I keep on watching her every episode in the hopes of seeing her a little fatter...But she remains absolutely in shape...I am so mean!!! not really,not at all...I know who is, though,a lot of people...mean ,jealous and hypocrite but this is not what I want to talk about...I won't waste my energy or time on them...
My daughter wants to start her own business by making small crowns and fans out of paper..I convinced her to change the business as these items are not really essential or useful,especially now in the winter time..She absolutely agreed and switched her business "things" to unwanted items that she will be selling for cents...Her store will be "Stephanie's cents store".I so much enjoy her crazy,funky ideas and her unique personality..I am truly proud of her,of all of them...
My husband is sick today,because of me..Whereas I usually recover in a day,it takes him a week to feel better,but of course,he never misses a day of work...So we are home today,just relaxing...
I have inundated facebook recently with comments here and there,absolutely provocative...I did not mean to,so I erased them...The fact that I did not vote for Jeita Grotto to be one of the seven wonders of the world would be shocking and as I think of it now,a part of me feels guilty,but I know for sure that I couldn't have done it...I cant forget,this is my problem...I love Lebanon so much that I cannot let go!!! I can't understand the disfigurement,the massacres of the nature..I can't understand these concrete blocks blocking our view and all hopes...I can't understand that I won't be able to afford living in downtown Beirut,nevertheless in my beautiful Ashrafieh! and that the Arabs of the gulf region are the owners of my home town...I can't forgive and can't forget! We should have respected the Land of the Cedar,bowed to the majestic tree! I love Lebanon but we don't deserve it...We dilapidated our treasures and blasphemed in the Holy Temple of Lebanon,we don't deserve to be given this title...
The second idea that really bothers me is our need to imitate...When I think of Halloween,I see graves,ghosts,squeletons and so forth...when I think of Berbara,I see a woman hiding in the beautiful mountains of Lebanon,disguised,a Lebanese princess running away from the Romans,because she beleived,she had faith...and I see her knocking on the doors of the villagers,the honest,hardworking and welcoming Lebanese farmers,sharing with them a piece of bread and an olive...I miss my Lebanon and the traditional sweets we prepare for this occasion...How can we trade Berbara for Halloween ? I cannot understand it ..I hope we are not...and that we are just adding another holiday..
Well,this is what I wanted to say and I feel better...Here I said it!
Have a good evening,everyone (the very few of you who are reading me)
Love,
Roula.
