While Life Goes On

"Life goes on", is fact that no one can deny. It is a fact that I have been thinking about in the past couple days. I am thinking that all of us will pass on, no one is immortal. But who will remember you when you pass on and what will they remember about you??

Who of us don’t know Einstein? We all know his inventions. But how many of us know how his life was, how he was as a person, as a human?

Most of us watched Michael Jackson’s funeral on Tuesday. Most of people who talked about him, only talked about Michael Jackson, the singer and talked about his songs. Only few of them talked about him as a friend, as a father and as a brother. Yes, he was king of POP, but that was only part of his life. He lived for about 50 years, if you collected time of his parties and songs all together, it will be about 25 years. Why people talked only about half of his life? I couldn’t answer this one.

I think that each one of us got the chance to live a life, no matter how short or long it is. Each one of us got the chance to achieve all what he think of. But I think what we need to decide is: the face we need people to remember about us when we pass on. Will they remember our human face or only our achievements face???

[Cartoon] Pooh 1

For you, Pooh may be just a cartoon character. You may be one of those who don't even like him.

For me, Pooh is the friend who is always there for me. He is the one who brings me out of sadness, pain or boring mood. He is the one I will never trade with anything in the world. All I know is that whenever I seek for relief or happiness, I go for drawing Pooh or just look to a picture of him. He is the only one that gives me a feeling that I can't describe.

I am not losing my mind. I know Pooh is a cartoon. He isn't real to even use "he". But for all the joy and relief he brought to my life, he is more that real to me. He deserves being "My eternal loyal friend".

Below are pictures I draw for Pooh. I hope you like them.

[Peom] Be Angry اغضب

Whenever I am tired or in a bad mood, I either draw or read poem. As I am having a bad headache, no time to draw and tons of pages to study, I decided to read some poem to relax a little bit. I found this great piece written by "Nezar Kabany", my best poet over all times. And to keep it in mind, I decided to share it with you.

إغضب

إغضب كما تشاء .. واجرح أحاسيسي كما تشاء

حطم أواني الزهر والمرايا .. هدد بحب امرأةٍ سوايا

فكل ما تفعله سواء .. كل ما تقوله سواء

فأنت كالأطفال يا حبيبي

نحبهم .. مهما لنا أساؤوا

إغضب!

فأنت رائعٌ حقاً متى تثور

إغضب!

فلولا الموج ما تكونت بحور

كن عاصفا ً.. كن ممطراً

فإن قلبي دائماً غفور

إغضب!

فلن أجيب بالتحدي

فأنت طفلٌ عابثٌ .. يملؤه الغرور

وكيف من صغارها .. تنتقم الطيور؟

إذهب .. إذا يوماً مللت مني

واتهم الأقدار واتهمني

أما أنا فإني .. سأكتفي بدمعي وحزني

فالصمت كبرياء

والحزن كبرياء

إذهب .. إذا أتعبك البقاء

فالأرض فيها العطر والنساء .. والأعين الخضراء والسوداء

وعندما تريد أن تراني .. وعندما تحتاج كالطفل إلى حناني

فعد إلى قلبي متى تشاء .. فأنت في حياتي الهواء

وأنت .. عندي الأرض والسماء

إغضب كما تشاء .. واذهب كما تشاء .. واذهب متى تشاء

لا بد أن تعود ذات يومٍ

وقد عرفت ما هو الوفاء

As You Wish

"As you wish", a sentence I used to say a lot in a past period. It is only now when I realized what it really means.

"As you wish" is a simple way to escape from your responsibility for bad things happening in your life. It is relieving to think that you only represent the reaction part in all the problems not the action part. It feels as if all these problems came from nowhere, you didn’t start them, or cause any of them. Simply, they just happened. I always knew that it was a false feeling of relieving. But from where I was, I didn’t care much about how true this feeling was, as long as it gave me the peace I needed when I needed.

Now I know something for sure, “You are the action for every little detail that happens in your life. You will never be the reaction.” This is also applied if problems involve someone else but you. If got hurt by someone, you are the one who let him do it. If you had been betrayed by your dearest one, you are the one who trusted the wrong person that much.

I am not a naive, I know bad things happen all the time, but in eighty percent of the time, we cause them to happen either by starting them or by giving up and doing nothing to stop them.

You are the reason why everything is happening to you whether you like it or not.

[Poem] Things I got used to

Over the rainbow, I used to fly.
With the stars, I used to play.
In the night, I used to dream.

You're the one I used to see.
I found my love, I used to think.
I lived happiness, I admit.
I got hurt, I can't deny.

Having you in my life is a blessing or a curse, I don't know.
All I know, my world is a better place because of you.
Thank you, I have to say.

P.S.: Thanks to who inspired me to wrote this piece.
