Morning Coffee

My creative mind!
Who said we can’t have sushi in the early morning?
After all early morning in Beirut is afternoon in Tokyo!!

So why can’t I eat according to Japan’s timing and go to work according to Dubai’s timing…and still be living in Beirut??!!

That is what freedom is about…

Yes, I know I always have great ideas…a very creative person what can I say…
Sometimes one has to put his/her modesty aside…

What is bothering me!!
There is something that I can not understand and I would like to share it with you, this way I will take it off my chest because it is really bothering me…
How come everybody (Lebanese, Americans, French and Israelis) are declaring that Hezbollah is receiving arms from Iran and NO ONE is doing anything to stop it?
What is that??
Do they have a FEELING that Hezbollah is continuing arming itself? Or do they have FACTS about that?
It is like this woman who suspects that her husband is having an affair, she talks about it, gets upset about it but does nothing…
So please, if you have proof…stop the flooding of arms, if not stop traumatizing people!!!

Somethin…Cooking!!!
Strange isn’t it?? That we haven’t been hearing about peace talks, peace initiatives between Israel and Syria for a while now!!!
Ha, but don’t you ever think that this means that there is nothing going on.
No news means there is something happening...
I wonder where the Syrians and Israelis are having their secret meetings…Somewhere in Europe?.. Where that might be? Switzerland maybe?
However I think the best place for them should be in Romania-Transylvania- Drakula’s hometown!!! Did you get the joke?? NO? me neither!!!!!!!!!!

Long Live Peace in the Middle East

Middle East Transformers

If you are living in Australia, do you ever think of leaving?

If you are working and getting paid (as you deserve), do you think of quitting?

If you have the freedom to express your thoughts, do you think of shutting your mouth out of fear?

The Middle East is not a very pleasant place for someone to wanting to stay…

Every second we think of leaving to Canada of course!!!!!!!!
Every second we get upset because we are not rewarded as we should be!!!!
Every second we fear that someone might arrest us because we thought of something unthinkable (let’s say like wanting to visit Jerusalem)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But like everything crazy in the Middle East, the people of the Middle East are crazy too...we will always want to come back home!!!

Wherever we go we want to return to the Middle East….

Why is that???!!!!

It is because only in the Middle East that we understand, we value and we cherish the simplest of things…

Human beings…
Life…
Food…
Electricity…
Clean water…
Freedom…
Movement…

And if you make it in the Middle East, you can survive anywhere else in the world!!!
It is in the Middle East that you become a strong person!!!!
A person that can not be defeated!!!

We in the Middle East know how to transform misery to creativity!!!!!!!!!

That is why wherever we are we always come back home!!!!!

From Aqaba with love

Beirut…I adore
Beirut is in my blood…
Every time I travel my love for that crazy Beirut grows bigger…

But then again this week…Beirut had a competitor…

AQABA…

If you like the sea…Aqaba is the place to be…
If you like to dive…Aqaba is the place to be…
If you like to eat fish…Aqaba is the place to be…
If you like to know what it means to feel peace…Aqaba is the place to be…
If you like to take a look at Israel (look but don’t touch)…Aqaba is the place to be…
If you like to meet great loveable people…Aqaba is the place to be…

Ala’a thank you…

You made Aqaba feels wonderful to us…

P.S. for those who don’t know where Aqaba is: It is in Jordan on the Red Sea

Cedars' hearts

This is for Hera, my sister…Screen to screen delivery…

We always wonder in Lebanon if our country is a place for the youth, for the young men and women who are willing to use all their knowledge, to put their positive energy in developing their country…

We have always been a country that exports young men and women to the Arab world, and the Americas (North and South)…

Where ever you go in the world, you meet successful Lebanese…

Even if they leave the country, even if sometimes they are depressed, even if sometimes they lose hope…Lebanon will always be in their hearts…

Lebanon will be their first love…

A love that is memorable, unforgettable…

I love my sister…She went to study in France, she worked there for a while but she always wanted to come back HOME…

Not my mom and dad’s home…she wanted to come back to her homeland…Lebanon

My sister is like thousands of Lebanese…Their love for Lebanon is beyond anything else…

So, no need to be afraid…the future will always be bright in this country…

We will always conquer the world with our bright minds…But no one can conquer the heart of these bright minds…Their hearts are taken…by the CEDARS…

WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE LEBANON…

Screen to screen: what the reader wants

This is a special request post…

Well, I am unemployed these days…so I decided to start a delivery posts business (Door to door)… actually it will be Screen to Screen

You just send an email to laurytheblogger@gmail.com with your request (u want a post about such and such topic…you want a post about such and such person… you want it to be fun, sad, serious, hilarious…)

It is your choice…

My first client is my dear friend Noa…she asked me for a fun post to go with her morning coffee…

Although I am not inspired at all these days…and I am not in the “FUN MODE” but what can I do, for Noa I do anything… and after all I have to work…business is business… I can’t refuse a client’s request…

Noa is a nice person…but her Mom I like more…(What!!! I see a smile on your face??)

Noa has endless stories…she is a walking television…24/7 non-stop talk shows, movies, news…whatever you want…

But sometimes this walking television faces some technical problems…while broadcasting…she falls asleep…

Well who said technology is perfect?

Maybe Noa is not a perfect technological instrument but definitely she is perfect for teasing… You can tease her easily because she is impatient…

But when she is upset…oh oh oh just run away…change continents…change your name…disappear from her radar…

What Noa!!! Still reading???

Good morning, have a nice day…

I can smell your coffee…

And by the way she has never cooked for me…although I have been promised zillions of times…but I am still not losing hope…I am still hanging on to the rope…

What rope?? Well I don’t know it just sounded nice to write that…

Noa…my first client…whenever I think of you (well rarely…very rarely…when I am really really bored) I have a smile on my face…a delightful smile…

What!! haven’t you finished your coffee yet?!

My friend...I love you...
