Rambling Thoughts...

Okay...

I don't know... How to describe what I'm going through right now...

I'll just type away what comes out...

I feel happy, sad, and agitated all at the same time??

I feel like crying but with a smile upon my face...

I feel like laying down resting my aching stressed-out body...

But I... *sigh*

I guess, I know what causes these stirs of emotions...

I just refuse to acknowledge it...

It's so sweet... like chocolate...

Too beautiful... too delicious...

But too much of it can leave you sick...

*chokes up*

I hate getting emotional...

I hate it!!! I HATE it!

Damn it, where are the tissues!!

Oh, it's getting hot in here... 

I need some fresh air...

*sniff*sniff*

*****

Why there is so much injustice in this world??

Why do innocent people have to suffer?

More importantly, why do I care???

WHY DO I CARE???

I hate this feeling!! I just feel all choked up and helpless...

There are so many things I wish I could do... 

But I can't... I'm helpless...

I just cry...

And feel even worse...

*****

There is so much beauty in this world...

I don't always see it...

I'm too busy taking it for granted...

The rare moments when I slow down or when I'm hurt...

Is when I realize I missed so much...

I wasted years of my life just not being as productive as I wished...

People shower me with mountains of applause and compliments...

But I don't see justice...

I know I can give out more... 

But I don't...

I'm too afraid...

But why am I so afraid?!!!

What is it that others have and I don't?

I know I am far better than so many, but they have reached far much than I did...

Why???

Am I so slow?

But is it speed I need?

Are we in a race???

Am I being the bunny and they're the tortoise? 

Have I been sleeping my way to success?

Perhaps so...

But my egotistic confidence have long gone...

I'm too confused...

Too scared to move another square...

I might go back to the first again...

*sigh*

*****

I need to have faith...

Keep what's buried under all these demons...

And get even more...

I need to be stronger...

I'm too sick...

Too sick of keeping my eyes shut...

Too sick of these heartaches and anxieties...

Too tired of being too tired...

Great... Now I have a headache...

Hee hee that made me smile...

Okay... 

Enough venting...

*Takes a deep breath*

Mom's Love

Today is Mother's Day...

To a lot of people it's a day where they would shower their moms with gifts, flowers and such. That is sweet, indeed, but what about the rest of the year? Most people won't even bother to pick up the phone to check upon their moms.

But no matter what we give, it won't ever be enough.

If we just show a little more respect, then wouldn't be that the kind of love every mother deserves?





I remember watching the same story shared on the video above on a AbdulAziz Al-Mussalam series one day; I wonder what's the origin of that story...

It's wonderful regardless.

It just shows that no matter how badly you think of your mother, and how much you can never understand her (even if you have kids of your own sometimes), you can't truly see the way she cares about you, let alone ever repay here deeds.

For all those times you've kept her awake at night just for a stupid meaningless thing (mostly, just in your own eyes), remember that you hold the greatest treasure to the road to heaven.

Don't lose the key.

On a funny note...

Desperate Housewives: Turkish Version!

Hello!!

How's everyone doing today? Enjoying the weekend? ;D

I was flipping through TV channels last night when I stopped on MBC4. I haven't religiously watched this channel in ages. There was a new Turkish series on. I was like, "Oh, is that a new Turkish series? But the shooting feels so incredible! Perhaps, it's a movie?" 

It was yet another new Turkish series. MBC4 once was my top favorite channel to watch with "only" western shows and nothing but, but now it's been smothered with Turkish drama (which I don't happen to hate, to be honest) & guess what? Arabic ones has been added to the mix too. If MBC keeps Arabizing this (once top favorite) channel, perhaps in the future, they're gonna be even dubbing those (now very few) western shows they are compromising us with & become totally like Fox. *Shudder*

Anyways, I'm not gonna be ranting about how MBC4 has changed in this post (maybe in another one), but let me talk about this new show that got me stopping in my channel-flipping. 

The program info stated that it has the title of "Nesa'a Ha'erat" (or however it was written - نساء حائرات), I was like, "What is this? An Arabic drama?" Then the dubbing reached my ears & I realized it was yet another new Turkish drama. As I said, I was taken by the wonderful shooting & wondered if it was a new series or a movie. Seeing Noor brought back a fresh memory of a promo I've seen recently for a new series that was coming soon. That was it.

It took me just a few minutes to realize it. The character Songul Oden (a.k.a Noor) was playing (which I happened to have liked instantly) was non other than the beloved character of Susan Mayer played by Teri Hatcher in the popular American drama Desperate Housewives. Of course, I didn't realize it right away, I had to see this other character - who was a playful blonde who keeps throwing herself at this man Noor was trying to get close to - for the switch or realization to get turned on. I was like, "Wait a minute... This looks very much like Desperate Housewives...Is it...?!!" 

And it sure was! Apparently, this is a Turkish version of the American drama!

******

Here are some pictures I snapped. Try guessing which one is who (I already told you one!) 

My favorites in the American version are still my favorites in the Turkish one (so far), which pretty much tells that the acting, production, & direction is very well done (& that I mostly care about the characters).

Program starts at 9:00 KSA every Thursday night.

(For those who missed it last night, MBC4 is repeating it tonight at 6:30 KSA, or you can always watch it on Shahid.net).

So, what do you think? Do you like watching Turkish drama? Would you watch this one? What do you think of recreating (or remaking) of famous successful dramas or movies? Would you think this version will beat the original?  

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS!
