A song that I liked and wished to dedicated to all mothers and especially my mother. She will never know about this dedication. But who cares if she knew or not ;o)

The song is in Arabic, by a band called "Wist El-Balad" which almost means "Down Town" or "City Center".

The song talks about how a mother dedicate her life for her sons and daughters. And about the true feeling that every one of us carry about his or her mother.

Today I watched one of the best Arabic movies produced at the beginning of this year. The movie called Mikano. I am not writing a review about the movie but I would like to share the idea and imagine myself as part of this movie.

The movie is about a person who has an issue with his memories. He simply has a volatile memory. He made a very dangerous surgery at age 16 in his brain, and after this surgery he was able to remember everything before the day of the surgery. But anything after that day became as part of his volatile memory.

Being able to forget everything suddenly and restart is an interesting idea. Especially when you just wake up in the morning and your mind only remembers and lives at age 16 of your life.

This life is impossible if you are alone. Having someone beside you to help you start all over again and again every unknown period of time is what make this life possible.

The good thing about such person with defect in his memory is that at some points of his life he will feel sorry for himself he had this issue and feel how hard life is while having such issue. But this feeling will not last for long time, because sooner or later his memories will be cleared and start all over again. As if he is reborn again.

Thank God for the life given to us, and for the way we are living anyway.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Well, I thought to post something about where I live and work these days at Cambridge, UK. It is a bit far away from the town itself. So I just get into the town only on Saturday, the rest of days, I got to work then to home. Nothing more, nothing less.

It is hard to find a place to eat at also, so I try to manage this by making food at home. It is a good place actually, but still in the middle of no where :o)

Well, I thought is something to blog about. It is 08-08-08 (dd-mm-yy) day, this day will never come again till the next century. So as 01-01-01, 02-02-02 etc.. and the sequence will stop on 12-12-12. because there is not 13th month :o)

Nothing so special about numbers or dates except the match between the day, month and year. But it is funny.

Another funny date for me was 06-07-08. This day I traveled to UK, and I'm staying here for 3 months.

Today is special day because of numbers. And tomorrow is a special day because it is my lovely wife's birthday. It is a good chance to say Happy Birthday to you darling, and I sill love you dear, you don't have to worry even if I might think of getting married again :o)p.

Have a nice day everyone.
