Reporting from my days..
YES YES YES!
And I was feeling happy these last days, until today I believe I was as happy as I can never be. Let me tell you all what happened.
Well, I got to have a simple interview last Sunday with my job organizer in a cool café. I enjoyed meeting that lady as much as I enjoyed the middle age design *in France specially*of the café. *that was awesome!*
Then I had to go with my friends for a small walk and enjoyed our talks in giggles in the CTA *ACed bus* all the way back home. Passing by the Nile.
As I returned back home I had to continue my studies for the exam, which happened to be cool ;) and I believe I did OK. Hopefully I got to finish my project and then Viola I’m done :)
Ah, forgot to tell you, on my way to the interview I had that phone call confirming I am accepted in the ACES which is “The annual conference of engineering students” for year 2006 as one of the organizers. Now I just returned from our 1st general meeting in collage. That was another story.
I was a bit late because I had to stand waiting for a bus under the burning sun. A friend of mine was sitting in the chair just behind me, but as usual I didn’t notice him at all. Soooo after getting off the bus, we had to laugh a lot about how both we were absent minded. Anyways, as I entered the hall, the OCs *organizing committee’s heads* and ACs *Academic committee’s heads* presented a general outline to the next plans.
My self, I’ll start trainings on using Adobe PhotoShop for I am a member in the publishing committee, that is responsible for the placards, flyers, brochures, posters ..etc. Which is awesome for me, I like doing such stuff all my life long .
When it was time to go, Sheryos, my dear college surprised me with a very simple but lovely surprise. He gave me the novel “The Alchemist” by “Paulo Coelho”. I wished to read anything by that great writer and he gave me that chance at last :) so Big Thank You To Him!
Ah one thing I forgot, 3rd civil’s results appeared, which means… Tomorrow, or after tomorrow max, I will have one of my dreams come true. Hushshshsh! When I am having it done got to tell you all about it.
Tomorrow as well I will be heading training down town for my next job. The best part about it, I’ll be meeting one of my friends from radio. And guess what! He’ll be my instructor as well :) .. actually, he was well known for his websites like radio Cairo.
Anyways people, I don’t know how I wrote all that !? I just feel happy sooo.. and I wish you all the happiness and joy as well.
God Bless..

Lately,
So, it’s been quite some time since I lastly posted a nice something on the blog *thought I have plenty of things to say*.
Firstly : I wanted to talk about “being out of place” issue, which was raised up yesterday in my favorite radio program “Z-Tok”
Secondly : I wished to comment on one of the last posts by Sheryos, about losing the way. I had piles of things to tell him that a single comment on his post won’t be enough –coz honestly, I’ve been and still there, in the middle of no where –
Thirdly : I wanted to report from my room, as the dreamer Steli.
UGH! And still lots I wanted to say and do. I wanted to tell you more about how it’s going, those victories and downs added to my book of life. I wanted even to talk about the last book I finished reading, by one Egyptian Nobel prize winner, Najib Mahfouz.
Yet right now, I feel I am a bit *not down in the same sense* but lazy *as such*. A real lazy person who has no time !
Anyways, I believe I got to know as I am having an exam within 2 days *to have my programming certificate*, so I need to go and study more *as if I do*.
PS: No need to mention I failed my 2nd interview *!!!*, though I guess its written in the stars, coz on the same day I managed to get *nearly got* a paid summer job ;-)

I was on bus heading my C++ course. And since it’s a long way to go, I mostly listen to radio. When suddenly today I heard Richard (my favorite announcer) is sitting in for the program “AM on FM”. That made me happy hearing him at that early hour of the day who I loved ever since I got to firstly listen to him.
I don’t know much about him more than he is a British citizen who preferred working in Cairo for over 10 years now. He’s not handsome nor charming, yet his voice and way of tackling issues is. And above all his magical taste of music. He can talk non-stop about oriental, foreign, traditional or global musical pieces. And each time I listen to a new pick by of his choice I feel charmed more and more.
So I thought of giving a thank you call since he was playing “I will always love you” by Dolly Parton (a hit I adore myself). I dialed the number and he answered HURRAY. But things went on the weird direction!
As I told you I was in the bus and so I’d to speak in English on my mobile which looked a bit odd! And since he couldn’t hear me well, I had to raise up my voice, which left people sitting beside me to gaze, who is that weirdo sitting beside us!! especially when I cheered with “Hay Richy this is BlueBerry * ”
He wished me a safe journey after we exchanged some private words together ;) . I haven’t called him in ages. So he promised to play another song by Dolly especially for me.
By the time we were crossing “Kasr el Nile” bridge, he was playing me that song “You left me just when I needed you the most” while I was staring at the Nile. You don’t know how I love the Nile’s scene from that particular bridge. And tell you, if that song is to prove anything, it won’t be but to show Richard’s fine taste.
I loved it as much as I love radio Cairo, and my story going on with it.
* that’s how my friends announcers and listeners know me in radio, as BlueBerry or BlueLue ;)
PS: I am still on my promise with the “City Cabs” just give me more time to go.

So I went to the interview after a severe struggle with the Egyptian transportations. I ran after 3 whole busses and non stopped for me!!
Never mind I was enjoying my time, the weather was fine and things went on smoothly. Until I reached the interview started. Tell ya, I guess I screwed it up again.
Yet, I don’t mind. I still have hell of things to do.
PS: How about starting a picture per post.. tell me what you think ;) ?!

The Test..
I think it is turning into a fever here.. so here is my test's result...
You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

I wander lonely as a cloud
I wonder why I stopped being as active and energetic as I am used to. Probably the hate I have inside my heart is getting over the most beautiful things have in life, Starting from my smile to my enthusiasm.
I want to talk and talk and talk. Such killing amount of talks I have but I can't let go. Thoughts are suffocating me alive.
I feel as if I am drowning alone. Screaming but not heard. Seeking a shore I can't find all the way. The sun is reaching to set and I am crying again.
If I can sail my boat and get out of here. If I can spread my wings and fly till I get lost. If I can dance till I fall. If I can write till I'd tear my thoughts apart. Probably I would feel fine then.
You know a dream is a like a river
Ever changing as it flows
And the dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores...
and I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never trySo I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Too many times we stand aside
Let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
It has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide... yes
There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all...yes
Yes I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
