All the coffee-holics in the world … put your hands up!!

The hugest headache ever -crying- when will I ever learn to quit this damn delicious dark sweet aroma beverage! HELL, I even drink this damn thing even if tastes like dirt, just because “malee khilq” eat and this keeps me going

I did quit it once, I went cold turkey -is this the proper term-, so I guess Ramadan is a chance to do it all over again and learn from my mistakes

Tears are voluntarily springing out of my eyes everytime I move my head around. My head is this gigantic ball of messed up hormones or signals searching for that caffeine drug, and the search is inflicting pain

I wake up in the morning and I need time to process before eating breakfast, then I don’t have time, so I start my journey through cups and cups of caffeine enriched drinks

Probably I need a week before getting over this, but I need to remember this discomfort next time I start going down this road again

Ramadan is here again, masha’Allah how time flies by so fast, it seems last year’s has just finished!

The difference now is that the weather is getting hotter and hotter by the year. So now it is more humid, hot and the “iftar” time is delayed than last year’s.

Of course people tend to work more on the religious aspect of their lives, so it’s up to one’s self to decide how to go about this. I am going to list other aspects

One of the main parts of Ramadan is “so7oor” the meal before you fast. It is surprising that most people have that before the sleep, well in my family we wake up before the “fajer” prayer, well not all family members, and eat and I like it this way. I tend to go buy these little cornflakes packages to have them on “so7oor”, or toast, “ ‘7oboz ergag” with laban and sometimes my little brothers order McDonald to eat it as “so7oor”, how they manage that I don’t know!!

TV, the best thing that I have done along time ago is quit watching TV all together, “aslan” I don’t watch TV that much, all the movies and series I need I buy or download. So I believe I’m not watching this year either. We’ll have to wait and see how “المسلسلات راح تحفتنا هالسنة” !!

Another thing was going walking in “mishref”, the weather was nice and after we would go to their co-op to get my cornflakes packages. The good thing about this “mamsha”, is you see people walking so you are not alone in a creepy one like the one in front of our house and it is long and has this water sprinklers installed which I walk under everytime I pass them by and the water coolers along the way “امدلعينهم”. I also go walking on the sea side now and then, it’s kinda dark and you need someone with you, some “mamshas” you can’t go alone, but I believe this year I’ll stick to ours

I know this month will fly by so quickly and I will try to make the most of it. Till the eid time when my brothers come and remind me:

“بنروح نتريق بماكدونالدز باجر”

Good old familia tradition!!!

“Mubarak 3alakom El-Shahar”
