It came as perfect as it can be this year. The cold christmass weather arrived just on time; Although the pattern of the Lebanese Christmass life wasn't as it should be due to the unrest we are experiencing, but the white veil covered almost everything.
Last night, it started dumping heavy snow over my village and over the Lebanese elevations accompanied with the cold fronts and stormy winds. I spent this night at home with the family members. That afternoon, I went and did all the necessary shopping incase of road blockage which occured today. Although my family was doubting the snow storm arrival, i insisted on going to do that shopping. I finished my shopping in the noon time prior to snow fall.
In the aftyer noon hours, my long waiting period stopped with the first arrival of the snow flackes. I cant describe my feelings when it started snowing. Its a thing inside me that i cant resist. I dont know how i can describe my love to this natural phenomenea.
In the early evening hours, the heavier downfall started with bigger and bigger flakes flying and covering the entire place. it continued all night and 2day snowing until it reached to 20 cm level.
It was perfect in the correct time. It added a special effect to this beautiful season. Its the first heavy snowfall this year and it will not be the end.
Lets hope that this white blancket will take with it all the ugliness of 2005 and bring a white year to Lebanon. I think we had enough.

MAY IT BE A WHITE CHRISTMASS
This year, the christmass comes after a long "helly" year that was a dark and bloody as anyone can imagine. I dont know how i would or will feel this comming year. I dont know what to expect, if anything is left to expectations. would it be more horrible that what happened?? i am afraid to say "YES" and afraid to say "NO". I dont know if i can promise Micheal Hayek again or refrain from hearing his seeings.
What i depend on, is the tender snow which is falling tongiht on the Lebanese mountains and outside my window; I hope its whiteness and purity clears the black and crowded clouds that covered the Lebanese year of 2005 and bring with it the real rebirth of this wonderful country. I hope it be as i wish.
You politicians... we are reaaaally tired of you...... we are really tired.
Kidnaping...in my brother's approach
I dont know from where to start.... It was a story that started in the past and stopped. Suddenly it resumed its action in a cinematic way which i hope to describe it as is.
As some knows, my second brother was engaged in 2003 to the girl who he loved from his early teens. they remained engaged for about a year and some months until the municipality elections took place in 2004 summer. the political unrest that took place in my tiny little village had allowed to a family level break; some political activists in the village started to construct the scene of mistrust and betrayal. Each side was de-patronizing the results and that the action of un-unity between the two families was not accepted under the circumstance of my father's candidacy to the elections. Bashings here and there escalated the situation until the conspiratical intentions succeeded to utilize the bond break and futher destruction between the two families taking away with it the engagement bond on my brother and his fiance'e.
Inorder not to teltale the whole details, my brother accepted, on effort and anger, the break down and his fiance'e as well. The story didnt end here. Her (Fiancee'e) close relatives who where clear opponents to my dad, wanted to revenge on my dad's success in the election by eliminating the engagement first, and building on a new engagement situation with a new commer Canadian traveler and a pre-rejected proposee to my brother's X-fiance'e that time. Heir relatives plan succeed under tremendous pressures on a despirate moment she accepted to engage in that short period of relation breakdown and agreed oppressively to continue with her family on the relatives-driven plan. To summarize, things didnt go well in the new relation, as we predicted, and the relation ended after a one year of un balanced decision.
Last week, as we were enjoying the weekend vacation in the mountain and after few days of my brother's arrival from Kuwait, we went down to Beirut, to my sister's home to find my brother officially and religiously married to his X-fiance'e and waiting my family's arrival to my sister's home there. It was a runaway marriage without the notice of the girl's familyas well as my family. i wasnt that shocked for the action because i always knew that they love eachother that much that would not make them live without each other. Some problems went with my dad especially to accept the issue, noting that its the first to occur in our family history, and later after negotiations calls were held with some wise people to interfere and explain the matter to her family. to summarize again, things went well and her family were understanding and things are taking a path to resolution.
It was a well planned kidnaping whose heros are my brother and his beloved.
My wishes of a happy life for you guys.
