It has been sometime since i wrote. i've been so busy. there's the work, the animation and most importantly, the visiting friends. Hos was here and so is a3war. been going out every night. am tired of it. this last week's outings showed to be more crowded than the former week. there was more people and the balance monot/gemmayze/downtown has been restored. saturday night was jammed again in monot and in downtown, while it was ‘busy’ in gemmayze, there was no crazy traffic there, like the past week.
can't help but wonder if beirut is sliding back comfortably to its past self?

i've been seeing again the planes landing and taking off from my room. the now-not-so-comforting hum of their engines and my own favorite little twinkling lights fill the skies over beirut. planes... they used to represent to me freedom, discovery and excitement... and now they seem a bit deceiving, they're scared animals running away from the hunter. i heard qatar airways is going to force its landing in Beirut and challenge the embargo. it seems dangerous. although i highly encourage the idea theoratically, i can't help worrying about the most probably unknowing travellers sitting comfortably in their seats. man, would they be surprised if they saw, from their little portholes, the israeli air force forcing them out. force forcing seems awfully appropriate

i think people who have not seen the parliament's sit-in have missed a lot. it was like an uptight version of camp. the members of parliament went in with their bags wearing their suits, and u could see them sitting casually on the mattresses before preparing to their rightfully entitled nap.
i wonder whether they scared each other at night by telling scary stories of the israelis invading us and destroying our cities and 90% of our south over a nice bonfire while grilling their marshmallows.
