تجربتي مع الأفلام القصيرة - الجزء الأول

Image
المنور .. فيلم من تأليف و إخراج ماجي مرجان، بطولة أمينة خليل و محمد خان. بيحكي عن نادين و جوزها رمزي و جارها عادل و مامتها. نادين عندها مشاكل في الإنجاب و بتعمل حاجة أسمها IVF و كل مرة مش بتنجح و لكن عندها أمل أنها في مرة هتنجح. أهم جملة في الفيلم اللي مدته ١٧ دقيقة تقريباً بالنسبة لي هي "الأمل مبيغرقش .. بيعوم على وش المياه". فستان .. فيلم من إخرج إلبير مكرم . بيحكي عن أزاي "الأزمة في العقول" ما بين تربية البنت و الولد و عن إن قد أيه كلمة عيب دي كلمة مطاطه و مفهومها بيختلف حسب أنتي بنت ولا أنت ولد. و بيوضح المفاهيم المغلوطة في تربية البنات و إن الحل مش في الشدة خلاص لأن بسنت كانت بتعمل كل حاجة بس من ورا أمها. مدة الفيلم تقريباً ٢١ دقيقة. جوانتي .. فيلم من تأليف ، إخراج ماجي مرجان، بطولة دينا عمر. بيحكي عن الفرق بين قبل الجواز و بعد الجواز عن طديق أنها بتحكي عن أيديها. قبل الجواز كانت بتلبس جوانتي و تخاف عليهم بس بعد الجواز بتلبس الجوانتي بس لما بتغسل المواعين. مدة الفيلم ٤ دقائق و بتحكي فيهم حال بنات كثير أوي. ضفاير .. فيلم من تأليف أمير نسيم و...

My Meditation Experience

Image
On Jan 27, I have experienced my first professional meditation class. For around 30 minutes, I has closed my eyes & listened to soft music while imagining a desert with the narration of the coach.  I was wearing a short, black dress with white converse sneakers. I was walking to a desert with white sand, with twin small cactus. The weather was hot and sunny. Then, I have found an old golden key that I have picked and saved for later knowing that I will find a house later on. Then, I have found a 2-floor villa with a summer house on the roof. Where I have entered and stayed there for a while relaxing and eating. Then, while leaving this house I felt really sad to leave. Then, I have found a barrier as per the narrator so I preferred to hike the mountain than walking the tunnel as I felt the in the tunnel I may find criminals. After that, I have landed to a beach with a calm sea . I loved the scene so I stood there thinking and listening to some songs, then I have searche...

Swan Lake Ballet Fairytale

Image
On December 2017, I have decided to try a new experience! So, I have booked my ticket to watch my first Ballet live performance in Cairo Opera House. On the 12th of January 2018, I putted on my dress and high heels to watch the Swan Lake fairytale!  The storyline is cliche with "they lived happily ever after" line and all the lovely endings! However, the performance itself was breathtaking with all the pirouettes and white Ballet dresses. First things first, Swan Lake was composed by Tchaikovsky between 1875 and 1876, premiered by the Bolshoi Ballet in 1877 in Moscow. To my surprise, history states that such a great performance was a failure despite its current global success!!!  It is divided into acts, revolving around "Odette" which turned to Swan because of the evil curse by the owl. For you who don't know the story, the curtains goes up so you can see the prince celebrating his birthday in a big royal celebration. Then his parents show their conc...

How to keep the wheel rolling for the upcoming 12 months? How to check off all of your 2018 resolutions and goals? How to keep the motivation from dying after few weeks or months? This is the question we are all trying to figure out during every new year, below I am writing a guide that we can come back to for some motivation throughout the year. You should put pen to paper and write all of your goals down. So, you can feel them solid. While writing your resolutions and goals, keep them SMART ! S pecific, M easurable, A ttainable, R ealistic and T imely. And keep them simple. Keep your morals in mind while writing your goals. Keep track of all the steps by adding them to your calendar. You have to keep reviewing your goals periodically and give yourself a score out of 100 till it is achieved. Keep rewarding yourself with each and every progress you do. You have to choose your battles. And  feel responsible for everything. You have to feel content and happy. Keep lea...

  "Studies shown that people who journal regularly do experience increased happiness and enhanced wellbeing." -Kikki K.  I have decided that 2018 will be my year. So, I have bought myself an agenda from my favorite brand "Mofkera" and some other complementary to-do lists and note pag from M-Box. Actually, they always do meet my expectation. Mofkera do have 5 different designs: Dream Catcher, Unicorn, Mandala, Flamingo, and Princess. And they are available all over Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Libya, and still expanding. M-Box do have a range of to-do list and notepad designs that I had very hard time to choose from. To my surprise they do also offer notebooks, agendas, and Ramadan planners. M-Box is a local Egyptian brand that delivers to Egypt and Lebanon. Mofkera is a local Egyptian brand providing a wide set of notebooks that differ in designs and sizes. Beside providing the yearly agendas that are following the Bullet Jour...
