A moment of silence!!

I called i called daily every hour every minute , i thought i prayed i looked at the sky wishing i could reach her and get a final word , silence something that burns me down makes my heart pound , for the past week I've been trying to call my friend every hour i send a text and every day i call a hundred times , i thought she was dead , but in my heart she was alive she was well , did she leave me hanging from a thread or just to play .

is this her way to fool around with my heart , black thoughts kept lingering through my mind they forming in my dreams until the second she answered ,then silence!!!

after a week after agony and pain and thinking what would i say , i just stopped i just listened to the sound of the one thing i never thought would come , silence!!!

A whole minute that felt like a lifetime of silence neither one of us knowing what to say ,what to do or what to feel , after a the minute that felt like a life time , i knew something had went wrong and that all is okay and my heart forced me to talk and i asked simply "izayik ar3abteani" my legs where trembling my heart was fainting until the word came out of her angelic mouth that she was fine , she had surgery , she had reached her edge and almost died.

God dam it the emotions and thoughts that rushed through ones head at some time vanished at the knowledge that all is okay.

Dam u egypt youve made me soft , but atlast some peace of mind !

Video in Audio out , Thats what the worlds about

Well walking through out the streets of Egypt everyday i see the people going into a video frenzy ,people of all social standing are logging onto youtube metacafe and other video website , also Egyptians are addicted to facebook tagged and other social networking site's , sometimes i think its pathetic but i look at my self , I'm a facebook addict and proud to be one , i use facebook and blogs to connect to the world and get up to date with the recent news around the world , i use facebook as my primary email as it is my primary link and contact card to all whom i know to everyone .

but what about audio , people don't care about it anymore people think it outdated but actually audio is an essential component of anything in this world , video itself cannot be divided from audio as data these days is called A\V audio video and audio comes first.

Listening to the radio is something of the up most joy, even music when heard on the radio feels different that when you play it yourself its just different , morning shows and afternoon shows they just make me happy , they give you news the weather and a couple of new jokes for you to tell your friends its just simply amazing , the best thing that goes along with the radio is a fast car carrying a hot girl , then your in heaven baby!!!!!

A Realy long day of >>>>>........Sleeping

Usually when i speak to people and they get to know I'm a med student they have this pre-made thought that we don't sleep we don't eat and we certainly don't have sex well that's true if you don't count playing with your self as sex , well I'm here to tell everyone that is so untrue!!!

Med student are really messed up people during exam bye bye London , if you get an hour to four of pure non nightmare sleep then you the king of the hill and the next husband for Britney Spears ,Stress is a killer for med students and is the first cause of phyco pre-exam behaviour being seen in the forms of me jumping ,running, screaming, shouting, talking to my self and the occasional homicidal tendency , believe me do not mess with a med student during at least 10 hours prior to the exam .

during exam we usually eat allot and drink allot of tea Coffee and 7 up or Pepsi since we all decided it has sufficient amounts of caffeine to help us kill the pain of not sleeping .

well that almost covered the exam period , but wait if your saying that's normal well during vacations and those days when we are not in the phyco exam mood we just do one thing and one thing only , Sleeeeeep , med student have the ability to sleep more than 24 hours straight with no food water or using the freakin toilet , i usually sleep on school days and vacation at least 12 hours .

once i slept for 27 hours and the big deal was that my mom caught me doing it as she called me 5 min before i slept then called again the day after at almost the same time of day , i answered and shouted at here why she woke me up after i just hung up the phone , well i think you can imagine what she said , i had slept a whole day looking at the window i thought i only slept 5 min since i woke up around the same time of day i sleep lol weird huh.

some kids slept up to 72 hours , well the trick is that once u sleep u go into shallow sleep then deep then shallow if u stay asleep after the second shallow sleep you go back into deep sleep.

another weird thing about med student but this doesn't apply to me is they love to chat maybe because there outcasts from society or because there just plain bored , they spend every minute of no sleep no study online in chat room's.

hopefully people get to know our private habbits more better , if you wanna get to know more please call your nearest med school or university and apply to be one , best of luck for all those weirdos i call colleagues.

Entry and Exit , freakishly exausting

Well to all you people thinking about comming to egypt your into a hell of a ride , there is this old arab saying that says " going into the bathroom isnt like leaving it" , im sure this became true after they got to see egypt.

Egypt is a pretty decent place , security is good and people are very hospitable but do tend to try and robe you sometimes :p  , for some Cairo is a boring dumb place with old artifacts and nothing but skeletons wraped in cloth , well for the first semester i was here that was so true , until i discovered cairo had more than meet's the eye.

Cairo a 24\7 open pub , a place where poeple from around the world come to see what and how poeple lived thousand of years ago ,what they built and how they lived , egypt has been a center of trade and a place of envy for many civilisations , i bet they would be realy jelouse if they got to see how egypt looks like now.

egypt is a maze for many as once you g in its hard to get out but with the knoledge of otheres and spray painted walls showing the way , youl see the difference .
