رحماك

بعد ساعات من الجهود المكثفة التي بذلتها مصر خلال الساعات الأخيرة والمحادثات التي اجراها الرئيس حسني مبارك مع وزيرة الخارجية الاسرائيلية تسيبي ليفني في القاهرة،‮ ‬اعلنت اسرائيل اعادة فتح ثلاثة معابر الي قطاع‮ ‬غزة،‮ ‬هي كارني وناحال عوز وكرم سالم،‮ ‬للسماح بدخول المساعدات الانسانية والوقود للفلسطينيين المحاصرين في القطاع‮.‬

في عدوان إسرائيلي همجي علي قطاع غزة‏,‏ سمته الرصاص المصبوب‏,‏ أطلقت المقاتلات الإسرائيلية من طراز إف ـ‏16‏ ما يزيد علي‏30‏ صاروخا في هجمات مفاجئة ومكثفة ومتزامنة علي ما زعمت أنها المقار الأمنية لحركة حماس‏,‏ التي تقع في مناطق مأهولة بالسكان‏,‏ ووقت خروج أطفال المدارس‏,‏ مما أسفر عن مجزرة‏,‏ راح ضحيتها‏205‏ شهداء‏,‏ وسقوط أكثر من‏310‏ مصابين‏

قال فوزي برهوم الناطق باسم حماس ان الغارات الاسرائيلية تأتي بعد ان ذهبت ليفني الى القاهرة والتقت بالرئيس المصري حسني مبارك واضاف انه من الغريب ان في الامس التقت قيادات بالقاهرة وقالت انه سيكون هدوء كبير في قطاع غزة وان الاحتلال وعد بوقف كافة اشكال العدوان ووعد بفتح المعابر

طول عمر الناس دي من أيام السادات ييجوا يقابلونا و يضربوا فلسطين تاني يوم!! لو مش قادرين نعمل حاجة يبقى عالأقل مانديهمش فرصة!! ليه بنقابلهم أصلا مادام مافيش فايدة و هم عمرهم ماحيسمعونا؟؟ ليه؟؟

I need an answer here

Can a grown up person expresses what he feels in a sentence & he totally doesn't mean what he said, in fact he says that the opposite thing was meant?? Is this possible?

7aram 3alekom

I can't imagine!! 2 dead girls, 2 murdered girls, they were killed in such a terrible way, they left 2 sad families behind them, those rascals in the media started to make up stories since minute 1 after the crime!! Villa, no it's just a flat. 23 years old, no she was just 19 The killer was someone they used to know, no he is just a damn robber. He killed them as a revenge, no he killed them because he saw them in front of him. He cut her tongue, no he did not. He put whatever substance in her uterus!!, no, of course he did not. Drugs, wine,...............nothing was there in their place. What is it people??? what is it?? how dare you? how dare you do this to those innocents when their bodies were still warm!! What on earth was you aiming for? Where you after Laila Ghofran?? who on earth is this lady?? even if she is something, does this give you the right to do that to 2 victims? And can anyone tell me from where did they invent all those things?? no no really I am asking here, from where did you all get those lies? and how come that you had all settled on the same things?? Have you seen the father? the poor guy forgot his main tragedy and was thanking those people who got his late daughter's right!! those who cleared the reputation of the 19 years old murdered girl. Oh GOD, is this possible? can a victim be treated in this way?? I can't find words, really, I am speechless here,.................ya rab,7'odhom kolohom

A nice e-mail that I received!!

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.' One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend. He asked her,'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'

The bucket list tag

My dear gjoez tagged me, She wants a bucket list for my goals in the next 8 - 10 years, Here are the things that I have in my mind currently: 1- Obtaining my MD as soon as possible. 2- Being still healthy by then!!! 3- Having a post-doctor position in the U.K for about two years. 4- Perform Pilgrimage with my mother. 5- Work in a CDC project in the USA. 6- Releasing my first book in my speciality 7- Setting new policies and regulations that allow the younger staff to have their own thinking & acting spaces without getting frustrated at any time. 8- Hope I still have this desire then and I won't turn into a character resembling one of those whom I keep criticising all the time!! (ya rab) 9- Opening my own lab with my best friend Rania. 10- Getting Nobel!! And now I am passing the tag to: insomniac geddo iskandar evaluna Epitaph 1987 مجداوية

But mot importantly, tag others to do the same when you are done :)

Still trying in Alexandria!!

Well, after my last post, unfortunately I couldn't make it!! I couldn't have my fresh start. In fact last week was one of the toughest weeks I had ever had. I had a lot of problems at work that had a bad effect on me. I actually crashed by the end of the week!! But, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, I have a real desire here, I will try again and again till things get back to their right track isA. So, trying again, I had a lovely morning yesterday. I waked up in the early morning, I went out with two of my friends. We started the morning by having breakfast at Mohammed Ahmed's (for non-Alexandrians, this is a famous restaurant that serves fool & ta3meia since ever). After that nice breakfast, we sat in the Brazilian coffee store (a famous coffee shop that was opened in Sa3d Za3'lool street since 1929 or something), we had hazel flavored cappuccino & talked a lot. After that we had a long walk by the lovely sea from El-mansheia to the castle. We sat there for sometime then we returned back the same way while enjoying the incredible seen and the fascinating weather. Alexandria is very beautiful guys!! it is really beautiful. GOD, I do really love it:) So, today was the first day in the second - trial fresh start week. Things were not bad. I had a long tiring working day, with the regular daily problems, but over all, I can say that it was a good start. I am writing this post now & I will try to stay studying for few hours. If I manage to do this, then I can say that things will improve!! otherwise, I have no idea!! Da3awatkom:)

A fresh start:)

Dear friends, I decided to have a fresh start, I am trying to regain the old me, I am trying to change this "frustrated" into another display, I am trying to accomplish my old dreams. Here is my plan: 1) I slept at 12.00 a.m & waked up at 4.30 a.m (my optimum sleeping needs when i am in my ordinary status) 2) I prayed keiam (b neiet el new start) 3) I removed "zuma" from my computer (this is the game I used to play lately in a trial to waste my time & stop thinking about the current situation) 4) I re-arranged my laptop desktop!! 5) I started doing my work in the early morning 6) I am planing to have a nice breakfast & coffee with my best friend before we go to work (the educational health sector doesn't take Saturday off, they say that people don't stop getting sick on Saturdays, though they do on Fridays!) 7) I wrote this post! 8) About my name, frustrated, may be I'll think of changing it if things work on isA 9) I decided to finish this MD in no time isA & let me get out of their system to have my own one isA So please everyone, I need your prayers & your most optimistic attitude. Ya Rab, Ya Rab, Ya Rab, Ya Rab, Ya Rab P.S: I went to one of my very best friends yesterday, she got a twins (Iman & Islam) after a five years marriage. May GOD bless her & give her the strength. How adorable:)

Did they really do it?

I was talking to my cousin the other day about how busy I am since I had started my MD courses. After a short chat she said "ha, they did it!! that is exactly what they wanted". Who are "they"? I think "they" here referes to "7ezb a3da2 al naga7", those people I am talking about since the moment I opened this blog!! They are those people who stood infront of me telling me that I have to postpone my career for one whole year because they are tryng to apply a new educational system and they want me to join it. So, to those who were never involved in a post graduate program in our dear Egypt, it is pretty known that there are no lectures given to PhD or MD candidates. Lectures are only given to masters or diploma candidates but those applying for a higher degree are smart enough to study and understand things on their own. They do not have a syllabus, whenever one asks, he receives a fmous reply "ento doctorah, momken tetsa2alo f ai 7aga" without even defining what is this "ai 7aga", I think they do not know it themselves. Any way, the new system takes a lot of money from candidates so it forces the professors to give lectures to both degrees and present a soft copy from those lectures to the persons in charge. As expected, our senior generations had stopped reading long time ago, they can not deal with computers and they do not have something different other than their masters lectures to give to MD students. What a dilemma? What can they do? BINGO!! they sat together in what they call "department councel", a monthly gathering for each department staff members where they meet each other, talk for some time & end uo with amazing decisions. They decided that the MD candidates should prepare lectures for themselves and present them a soft copy!!! They divided courses given each semester on the number of candidates and each should do a kind of research and present the lecture infront of his collegues & his professor as well!!! very stunning!! and you can never object, why? because you silly person decided to obtain a scientific degree from this country, so accept the rules. Why? because you young researcher are a part of the lousy system and you have to behave like one. Why? because if you started objection, you should then multiply the usual time you are going to obtain your degree in by three or four. Why? because if you object you will stay still in your place. Now I am lost in this system. I stay up all night doing my professors' homework for them. I go to work very tired out of sleep lacking and I present lectures to my collegues. I also have to do some duties in my department like teaching the younger staff and the external candidates. I forgot, I have a thesis that I have to finish but I honestly do not have time to write a single word in it.What do you think? did they do it??

Bas kfaia!!

It is over! that's it! I have to stop thinking about that annoying subject! I have to look ahead and drop it. GOD, help me, help me to stop thinking.

Bring back Epitaph_87

We are a group of Egyptian bloggers really bothered by the blockage of the two-year-old blog "Epitaph_87" ( http://www.epitaph-87.blogspot.com ) along her gmail account (epitaph87@gmail.com), since October, 4th , 2008.She has sent you her problem and requests on Google Help Center and Blogger Support, but in vain.We wish that you'd help us retrieve that blog and account and answer the requests of our fellow blogress, sending you from (epitaph_1987@hotmail.com), and hopefully ASAP Just for notice, we have published this problem on our blogs!! Frustrated www.masrheiaomi.blogspot.com

Still frustrated?!!

I will just discuss with you my latest news!! just a discussion without any personal opinion from my side and I am leaving the comments to you guys. I already told you that I am applying to my MD as any staff member would do (weather we like it or not), still I am insisting on the fact that I do really like my job!! You can get back to my earlier post "why frustrated" to know the whole story, but now I am updating you. I was allowed to register my MD under the umbrella of the new educational system "Credit hours"!! it sounds funny, right? As they say, our certificates needn't to be equalized any where out side Egypt after this system is applied!! I can take it and work in the USA for example!! do you believe it?? Anyway, I was delayed for more than 6 months, stayed suspended with my research point on my desk waiting for this amazing new system. They "suddenly" discovered that I can register for the MD but I can not register my research point!!! According to the new system, the candidate can apply for the degree at the beginning of the fall semester (in September), and start taking lots of theoretical courses in the field of interest. Each credit hour means that the student takes one theoretical hour / week for 14 consecutive weeks!! They found out few days ago that I should successfully finish 12 credit hours (12 X 14= 168 hours lectures) and pass their exams before I can propose a research point!! yes I have it already but this is not official my dear, so you have to follow the system. Take 3 months to finish your courses, apply for the exam in January, pass all the courses with a grade higher than "C" of course, then "BINGO".........You can now apply for your research point!! So, according to the most optimistic scenario, I can not prove that this research point is mine before next February or march!! this is exactly one year after settling it down and preparing every thing to proceed in a useful research that would help lots of patients who are really in need. Do you know how long does it take to make your good ideas applicable in a half developed country?? Do you know how many researches could be done in one whole year?? Do you know how many person can steel your thoughts, ideas and projects and relate them to themselves during this long year? Do you know that I had already started working on my project, trying to gain as much time as I can but I can be confronted with one silly man (and we have lots of them Alhamdolillah) who would object on my research six months from now and stop every thing and makes me think from the very beginning once more? Any idea what could be my reaction then? Do you know if I am still frustrated or not??

الراجل ده حيجنني

لأ!! ما أنا لازم حد يفهمني إيه إلي بيحصل عندنا في اسكندرية ده!!بجد من سنتين اتشال المحافظ اللي كلنا كنا بنحلف بيه و باللي عمله في البلد قلنا ماشي، يمكن اللي جاي يبقه زيه

فجأه كل أرصفة البلد اتكسرت!! كلها كلها يعني, و تراب و عفاره في كل مكان و اختلف الناس, إللي يقول أصله بيدور على كنز و إللي يقول أصله معمول له عمل و مدفون تحت رصيف معين, و اللي يقول و إللي يقول.......إشاعات المهم, بعد كام شهر كده خلص الأرصفه بس مرجعهاش زي الأول طبعا!! امال احنا هدينها ليه؟ عمل سيراميك على كل الأرصفه!! آه سيراميك من إللي بيزحلق ده, وعمل ارتفاع الرصيف حلو كده!!!معرفش ليه طبعا الناس رايحة جاية تتزحلق و تتكسر بس مش مهم!! المهم التطوير بعد كام شهر جاب الرصفان دي كلها على الأرض تاني!! و عملها بارتفاع أقل شوية كل دة كان في عز موسم الصيف!! بلد سياحي بيتجدد في الصيف فيها حاجة دي؟ المهم كنا بدأنا ننسى, بس من شهر كدة جاب كل أرصفة المحافظة على الأرض تاني!! كلها إللي في وسط البلد, و إللي في الطرق السريعة, وإاللي في المناطق النائية, و إللي و إللي لأ و إيه, اتهدت في زمن قياسي!! من الآخر نمنا و صحينا كانوا مهدودين بس الحقيقة مش شايفين عمال بتبنيهم تاني!! بجد و الله, أنا فعلا مش لاقيه عامل واحد بيظبط أي حاجه أنا شخصيا في 3 شوارع كبار بيوصلوا لبيتي, التلاتة أرصفتهم مهدوده لأ بجد ده مش طبيعي!! هو لقه العمل الأولاني علشان يدور على التاني؟ ارحمنا بأه!! ارحمنااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااااا

خنقتوني

أول يوم رمضان

الناس مشحونة بالإيمان

المتوقع أن تكون المساجد مكتظة

نزلت لصلاة القيام في مسجد قريب من بيتي

وجدت الشوارع ممتلئة بالبشر و لكنهم لا يتجهون الى المساجد! إنهم يملئون المقاهي!!

المقهى مقابل للمسجد و الآذان لا يلفت الأنظار

الشباب الروش مكتظ على النواصي يدخنون و يتسامرون و يعاكسون!! فطروا خلاص

الشباب الروش الأصغر سنا يلعبون كرة قدم أمام المسجد بالضبط

أما عن "البمب" فحدث و لا حرج

ايه الهيافة و التخلف و الفراغ و الجهل و عدم الإحساس ده؟

إيه الناس العجيبة اللي مش فارق معاها رمضان من غيره دول؟

آه، أنا نسيت الشباب الأهبل اللي قبل الإفطار راكبيين موتسكلات و مشغلين أغاني هابطه و بيعاكسوا في البنات

و عايزين يتقدموا أو يفلحوا؟

إزاي؟ كل ده غضب من الله سبحانه و تعالى

مش حنفلح، مش حنفلح، مش حنفلح

خلي البمب ينفعكم

خنقتوني يا مصريين

خنقتونيييييييييييييييييييييي

رمضان كريم

كل عام و أنتم بخير

كل عام و أنتم إلى الله أقرب

ماذا انتوينا في رمضان هذا ان شاء الله؟ يسرا..الدالي..راجل و ست ستات؟؟

لماذا كل هذا الكم من المسلسلات و البرامج في رمضان؟

لماذا يصر القائمون على هذه الأعمال بالعمل جاهدين على إلهاء الناس بمثل هذه الأشياء على ما هو المفروض القيام به في الشهر الكريم من طاعات و عبادات؟؟

أنا لا أحب نظرية المؤامرة و لا أؤمن بها....و لكن؟

على أي حال، يجب علينا أن نرتب أفكارنا و نشحن نوايانا قبل أن يبدأ رمضان

بالطبع أنا لست بداعية!! و لا أجرؤ حتى أن أدعي هذا، و لكني أحاول جني الثواب قبل بداية رمضان

أولا أنا أعتقد أنه يجب تمضية ثلاث أو أربع ساعات اليوم من أجل صلة الرحم، و تحديدا تلك الأرحام البعيدة عنا

ثانيا يجب أن تعود مكانة صلاة القيام لما كانت عليه منذ حوالي خمس سنوات، و الجميع مرحب بهم في مسجد القائد لإبراهيم بالأسكندرية حيث الشيخ حاتم بصوته الخاشع الرخيم

ثالثا القرآن القرآن القرآن.....القراءة و التدبر

رابعا قيام الثلث الأخير من الليل مع الدعاء المستجاب يقينا ان شاء الله

خامسا اجتناب اللغو في الحديث و النميمة .....في اعتقادي هذا أصعب شيء

سادسا الصدقات و افطار الصائمين

القائمة طويلة للغاية و الله المستعان

أنا أذكر هذه الأشياء هنا كنوع من التذكير لي شخصيا قبل أي أحد، و أرجو أن يستفيد بها أي شخص غيري حتى يعم الثواب

كل عام و أنتم إلى الله أقرب

Guess who??

Why frustrated?

I never thought that I might use this name as my display!! Being optimistic was my most important character. When my friends talk about leaving the country, I would have objected badly to that, I used to say "if we all leave it, who would fix it?". We always argued about this and I always sticked to my point of view. I remember a collegue of mine who was a demonstrator in the faculty of pharmacy, he left everything behind him and went to Canada for his MD. I asked him about his planes, he had only one plan: leaving Egypt! For me, Everything was fine, I obtained my masters in a very short time. I refused to look seriously for a PhD chance in Europe or America for some religious reasons (travelling on my own for few years is not accepted by most of the experts views). Also I was not comfortable with the idea of my staying on my own in a foreign country (did i mention that i am very sentimental?). So I decided to stay where I am and register an Egyptian MD, being a staff member I always looked for changing the current situations to the better isA. I finished my masters in April 2007, the department thought about giving me a research point may be in september 2007!! (Because I was not promoted yet!!). We kept searching for a subject that fits our society and our techniques.I got them about 20 item, but all were rejected! I even looked for a double channel with an English professor, he provided me with a nice point but my dear staff refused it, they said that it is difficult and not intresting. I kept trying till March 2008 when we finally settled down, this point will cost me thousands of pounds and it will not be funded by the university, but no problem with me. Suddenly, they decided to apply a new system in the post graduate studies, but they will not be able to apply it till next september! Ok, I am ready now guys so let me register in the old system and the younger generations would use the new system. Nooooooooooooooo, you wait staying still with your new research point in your drawer till next september and apply for the new system!!! whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? because if you all registered now, then when we apply the new system we will not find candidates! (I forgot to tell you that the new system takes more money out of your pocket, but this goes only for candidates who are not staff members, I tried to explain this point to them but they insisted on the fact that we all would pay!!). Me(and another 2 collegues in the same situation of myself) had no other choice except waiting till september. Today, the nice employee told me that the nice vice dean decided that I will not register my research protocol before december 2008!!! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy? so that you finish one semester theoratical study. I have a new research point since March and I have to wait till december to register it by my name, to keep my research rights! do you imagine how many person would publish my point before I could be able to do it?? do you imagine that I finished my masters by April 2007 and I have to wait till december 2008 to register for my MD? do you imagine that I sacrificed travelling abroad and prefered staying in my country in an attempt to change whatever going on here but I can not do it? It is not that I am a snob or anything but I know very well that I am good at my work, from both the practical and the research aspects but.......I have no words to express how I feel. I have no words to express how mad I am, at the system, at people, at the country, at everyone and everything. Why can't they discriminate between someone who wants to do something and dozens who want to do nothing? Why can't they realize that we can do a lot of things simply by giving a space to some minds to do whatever they think about without facing hundreds of obstacles every day? just give us a space people, I do not need your help but back off me please, please, please you.................... Am I right to be frustrated or am I exaggeratting?

One job, two jobs, your job!!

I had this long chat with one of my closest old friends. "S" lives in Cairo after her marriage, after she lived in Alexandria for the first 27 years in her life!! I needn't to say that she is not very fond of living in our dear capital where one can always experience the nice smoky atmosphere, something that we lack here in Alexandria!! Any way, she is a physician (i.e: she spend 7 whole years studying medicine by her own free well) and she is married to a pharmacist who spend 5 years studying pharmacy. Till here everything looks perfect, but the problem here, according to "S", is that both medicine and pharmacy are no more those amazing careers one should look for. Although her husband owned his own pharmacy, his income could not provide him the respectable life one would want to live. He quited his job, sold his pharmacy & worked in a certain company with a fancy office, AC & a computer where he finishes his job that needs nothing except good computer skills and fluent French and English. He earns good money and gets back home early, he needn't to work in another job(like all pharmacists do when they work with their certificate). Then we came to my dear friend, she is not currently working as a physician any more!! She teaches English in a very popular center where she earns good money, gets back home early, does not have to deal with patients' problems and above all, she does not have to work in another job (as all physicians do, even the most famous ones of them). She had an interesting point of view here, in a country like ours, when person had to work in one and two jobs to provide an appropriate life for himself and his family, you should study whatever you want (before you regret that in the future) but you don't have to work in the same field of your studies!! Go to a place where you can work in one job only till one day comes where things change and each of us gets the position he / she deserves!!!! Dear readers, please I want each one of you to tell me whether you work in the field you studied or not? do you work in one job or two? are you satisfied or not? what do you think, is my friend right or wrong?? By the way, I work in the same field I studied before, I work in two jobs, I like one of them but the other one I have nothing to do about it, I have to work there!!!! and I think "S" is right, she used to be a wise girl:)

Is there a hope?

I was always a very optimistic person, though I lived my whole life in Egypt!! Really, whenever a friend of mine, in any stage of my life, complained about life here, surroundings, poverty, ignorance, injustice,...............etc, I used to say:"comoooooooon, it's not that gloomy!! think about it in a positive way. A lot of people laughed at me, but others respected me. They used to say that I give them hope. So, my question here is: Can we change things? The older generations will never change of course, but can each of us, in his / her place makes things better? those who studied outside and came back frustrated, those who had a high class education and came to the outide reality of life, those who were raised in good manners, those who beleive in GOD and in "en Allaha la yo3'aiero ma b qawmen 7ata yo3'aiero ma b anfosehem", those who have kids who need to secure their future and get them the best environment to grow up and survive,................................ If I was asked about that few years ago, I would certainly have answered "yes of course, en shaa Allah we can", but now I am not sure, may be because of my terrible mood status? may be because of what I faced over the last few months? may be because I have this feeling that all people I am dealing with lost the common sense that ordinary persons should have?? I do not deny my frustration, but still very deep inside me I have that hesitating feeling that things might get better!! Please guys do not laugh at me! I am opening the discussion here for optimistic persons only! I need a push, so please if you can help me here, I would really really be grateful:) We can change things, right??

The beginning

Dear readers (if any), It has been a two years dream; creating my own blog!! I do not know why did it take me that long! May be because I am very busy? May be because the face book took every one's attention and made blogs an old fashion? May be I did not know what to write? Any way, here I am! I will start blogging by discussing an important issue with you guys. Things are getting worse nowadays in Egypt, of course you noticed that. The question here is who would survive and who would leave every thing and run away? Waiting to hear your answers, I am very happy that I could finally make it:)
