People have always contemplated about everything we go through in our lives; Is it written in stone, is it our fate and destiny, or is what we experience a mere reflection of what we do! The idea of destiny and fate have reigned our earth as long as anyone can remember; the Greeks believed in the Goddess ‘Fortuna’ who spun ‘The Wheel of Fortune’ making your luck, but they also believed you had a part in determining that luck.

We all heard that "women talk more than men" and "men don't listen". Well a US female psychiatrist, Dr Luan Brizendine who is a self confessed feminist, has written a book about the differences in the female and male brains. The findings in the book are based on the author's analysis of more than 1000 scientific studies, in it she claims that " There is no unisex brain. Girls arrive already wired as girls, and boys arrive already wired as boys. Their brains are what drive their impulses, values and their very reality".
The developments in technology have made a great impact in people’s lifestyle. The internet for instance, with its momentous growth, has become a big part of the people’s daily lives. When you think about it, a lot of people are even becoming dependent on the web – students, businessmen and other sectors of the society. So with this fact, what would be the result if the information they obtain from the web are untrue?
You must have done it before, or at least your mum has.
Re-gifting is a regular thing in the Middle East but according to a recent survey of 1,505 American adults, conducted by market research firm Harris Interactive, found that over half of the respondents admitted to "re-gifting" with passing on gifts becoming a far more common and acceptable phenomenon.
I think I first saw it on the hit comedy series ‘Seinfeld’! But I never thought it was this common.
Have you ever thought that life had no meaning? Have you ever thought by you living you are just making no difference in the world? Or have you thought you deserve more than you get? Some of us got tired of their lives and found a "DEAD" end and found that there is no way to go on so they had to put an end to their lives… but! The light shined through their eyes and gave them a reason and showed them their blessings so they could hang on their lives and do what they can with what they have...
Have you ever been one of those people?

As a red blooded female I've often fantasized about the possibility of planning and carrying out acts of sweet revenge, and then bathing in the glory of its success... and that's a very small possibility!
There are many acts and issues which can provoke an act of revenge such as cheating or marital affairs, deals related to money such as in gambling or unpaid and increasing debts etc. However, for one reason or another in marital affairs we usually associate revenge with something the gentle-sex tends to carry out, yet statistically in many major regions across Europe as well as the US the female is more likely to commit adultery...
Everybody dreams of having an outstanding future waiting for him/her... Some see themselves married, some dream of having children,others want to be much more successful in their career... Many prefer being famous and so on.
We all hope and dream of things and wish that one day it could come true, do you believe in the quote which says 'A person starts dying when they stop dreaming?!'
Where and What do you see yourself after 10 years from now?
Comment your thoughts about your dreamy future :)

Have you ever felt that you have 2 lives? A life where you are a person and another one where you can act completely different. When you are with people, you act in a certain way but when you go to your room, alone, you transform to another person. Do you just consider that much the people around you and try to act in the way that they would love you? You may also sometimes feel like you are in a jail which is yourself. This is not necessarily a psychological disorder or can even be described as a disease but it is just the society that surrounds you that pushed you to act that way...
Everybody experienced an embarrassing situation throughout his/her life but there is always one situation that you can never forget either because it was a big scandal or maybe for other reasons... What was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you?! And how did you react at that time?

On February 27th a movie called Pleasantville was on MBC 2, I never really watched this movie before, though it is not a new one!
The movie is about a sister and a brother, she only cares about making relations and sex and he cares for nothing but staying away from people's eyes watching the TV and his favorite black & white series Pleasantville. Pleasantville has always been the young man's escape from all the evil of the world. They met a man who gives them a remote control, when they pressed the buttons of this remote control they found themselves trapped as main characters in this black & white series...

It's a big battle being comfortable with who you are and how you look, especially during the more tender years where youngsters can easily succumb to certain influences. However, usually the bigger portion of our concern stems from the dissatisfaction of our physical appearance. And although as a girl it's easy to wish I was a 'different' girl (Cindy Crawford for me!!!), or could change certain features I simply spent too much time looking at, I did stray to the other side of the spectrum...to wander about boyhood. I've often complained about being a girl, but as I’ve grown and settled in the comfort of my own skin I’m more weary of the difficulties that face the opposite sex.
As a female, I remember looking through windows enviously at the noisy boys playing football and joking with laughs that echoed through the street displaying a freedom that at the time seemed to have no limits...

1. I did.

8. I wish I could.
9. Don’t know how.
10. I can’t.

'Your love give me such a thrill but your love don’t pay my bill I want the money… that’s what I want', this is a part of a song named Money… That’s what I want. Do you believe that it is true?
If you had to choose between money and love what will choose?

I want to share my ideas and worries with you. I have extreme worries of getting old. This really started when I was 25. Now I am 28 and each year passed away my worries intensifies. I don’t really enjoy my youth properly and blame myself when it is too late. I hate my attitude, everything worries me like education, friendship, love, marriage etc. I don’t know if it is only me or you also have the same worries.
