I had my last exam for the intermediary course in French. My final test was the verbal expression this Tuesday. It was nice. Easy to describe subject, but, of course, my French wasn’t too good (still have a lot to learn). I had to describe the last movie I saw and tell why did I like or dislike it. I lied a bit. The last movie I saw was Mad Max: Fury Road. Not to easy to describe I would say…and the original with Mel Gibson was much better. Anyway, I describe an all time favorite: The Pianist (with Adrien Brody). I watched, so far, 8 times (out of which 3 times in the same weekend). YOU REALLY NEED TO READ MORE
This is something new for me
At the beginning of the year, as I wrote on this blog, I started French classes. Mainly because I was unemployed and needed something to do in the meantime. It`s been 4 months now since I started.
But what I am trying to say (and it seems that I get mixed up in doing this) is that I liked these 4 months. Mostly because of the people. We laughed a lot, copied from one another and got to know each other a bit.
I’m writing this because I wanted to post a photo we took today in class and didn’t want to simply post it on Facebook or here :).
Becoming a child again
From time to time, each of us has to go back to his childhood and act like a kid. Our childhood (for most) was the best part of our lives. Adults are most of the time too rigid too focused on making money, climbing the corporate ladder and buying stuff.
As kids, we were enjoying the simple stuff: playing.
My wife’s recent “guilty” return-to-childhood was to buy a colouring book and some coloured pencils. It looks great and everyone should try it. It seems to disconnect you and helps you to achieve a sort of peace of mind.
My guilty pleasure?! It`s more violent and not as far from my childhood. I installed on my tablet a new game “Avengers: Age of Ultron – Future fight”. As a kid, I really enjoyed my Terminator 2 game console. The game cartridges were available to loan from some shops around town and I really loved it. Usually I would rent a game cartridge for 1 day and finish the game in that single day.
Grown-ups and a 1-year old
Last night, I went at a birthday party for a 1-year old baby. It is Dima, the little baby of my friends Marwan and Basma. For me, it was a first. I’ve never attended something like this.
I saw last night how, for an infant, the parents` creativity explodes and their eyes are just full of joy. The apartment was decorated with lady beetle designs everywhere: the party hats, the glasses and the plates etc. The ceiling had, I guess, about 50+ balloons, all very colorful. Read more to party on!
Lack of inspiration – the reason why
In the past two weeks, I managed to “break” one of my biggest New Year’s resolutions: that of writing on this blog twice a week.
I can’t tell you why. Perhaps it was writer`s block or perhaps a simple lack of inspiration.
Hopefully, this week I will start write again. If anyone has any suggestions on what to write about or what you would like to read, let me know.
