ABOUT US
Peace be Upon those who follow True Guidance
I’m a social addict, I enjoy meeting people and putting smiles on their faces. As much as I love meeting people in cyberspace, there is nothing like the feeling of meeting a nice lady in a bus, on a plane, in a corner shop or a hairdresser and talking to her as if you’ve known her for years. Wow meeting new faces, hearing their stories, what bliss…
I’ve been a chatterbox for as long as I can remember, I’ve always been a dreamer too. But as life’s started to challenge me, I’ve started to enjoy writing.

ذهبت يا حبيبي عني فلم اجد سواك حبيبا
أبي كل ما ضاق بي الحال...ذكرتك في ظلمات الليل.. وانا أبحث في مذكراتك كالمدمن الذي يبحث بجنون عن ما يريحه او يخدر آﻻمه لكي أجد الكلمات التي كنت تكتبها في جوف الليل..وأنت في أرجاء تلك الغرفه الصغيره التي تحف جدرانها البيضاء صور جميله علقت بإهمال..كانت اكثر هذه الصور...
