Twelve

January, 28th: Dude, where's my car
At a first glance it looked like a cruel practical joke. Then you discover it's just cruel. A hot meal at a friend’s was all I needed that day

February, 2nd: Too old for this shit
Back to school; but this time without the home made sandwiches my mom used to prepare

March, 17th: Ma 3alena...
A fast speaker interrupting conversations left and right.
The socially awkward geek strikes again. One is truly his own worst enemy, isn't he?

April, 15th: Socra...WHAT?!!!
My loving caring humble nature finally took over, it lead me to say the five words every geek says at a point of time “I should write a blog”. In doing so, I surpassed one of the greatest human beings who ever lived; while Socrates didn't write about his life and we only know about him through the writings of his disciple Plato, I decided to honor my contemporaries by writing about myself first hand.

May, 22nd: What a ride...
A miraculous train ride on my mother's patron saint day.

June, 7th: Little pieces of heaven
Accelerating heart beats, dilated eye pupils and rising anxiety aided by losing the ability to breath. That's when a man lets go and indulges in the softness of the creamy frosting.
Oh carrot cake, I love you so...

July, 12th:
"If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast"
Soothing introductions under gunfire.

August, 14th: That was scary...
Trapped in a car with a friend
One of the most memorable days in Egypt's recent history
6th of October bridge is under attack

September, 1st: Are these apricots?
Funny how a day starting with no water supply and a lousy plumber might lead to a profound life altering revelation. With a sparkle in my eyes I extend my shaking fingers to the box;
"Can it be?" my heart asks.
"Yes it can" my expert tongue replies.
1st of September; the day I ushered in the age of apricot cookies

October, 6th: A victory march
Pink ribbons and omelettes to celebrate the holiday, what a day!

November, 14th: El 7al Romansy
"I'm so freaking old" another revelation strikes during a Mashroo3 Layla concert

December, 21st: A tale of two flowers
Do you know that the Pharaohs used the blue lotus rather than the white ones?
What a way to end a month of excruciating pain, public mockery and escalating crescendos on a high note :D
