Will Try to Give You an Idea about Love

Will try to give you an idea what is love for me...

The Allegory of Love: Unfaithfulness 1570

The painting is one of a series of four executed for Emperor Rudolph II for the Castle of Prague.

It's to be in need to do whatever to make another one feel good and happy... with no reason, not waiting anything in reply, no matter how much it could take you... not just a will to do it, but a real need... like you need the air you breath

it's when you're able to forgive and understand each other in whatever situation, and never stop loving after that

it's when you love someone so deeply that it doesn't matter to you wether that person looks worse than before or not, cause to you that one is always beautiful and that beauty is somewhere deep so nobody else can see it sometimes...

it's when you try to remember someone's name or are going to call someone by name and get the name of your loved one instead, just cause it's always on your mind

it's just trusting each other like you trust yourself and being able to share everything without being afraid of not being understood

it's when you can't get tired of each other just cause you're one... like you can't get really tired of your own self... when you correct mistakes of each other by your own will, without argumenting and counting who did more cause you act as one

it's when getting apart for 1 hour feels like not seeing each other for ages

it's when you don't really need words to communicate and understand each other

it's when you hug each other and feel love of whole the Universe (...how much I would love to hug you right now...)

it's when you look into each other's eyes and can just cry... cause it's a real miracle that you have found each other in this big big world....

When you just love... with no reasons... just love... and can't stop... ever... cause it's the only way for you to live...

Probably I've missed something, it's 5 am now, I'm sleepy:)

G.

hut is on fire today !!!

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited
island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he scanned
the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he
eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect
himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived back to find his little
hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had
happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief,
and anger. He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?"

Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching
the island! It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?"
asked the weary man of his rescuers.
"We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

The Moral of This Story:
It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't
lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of
our pain and suffering. Remember that the next time your little hut
seems to be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke signal that
summons the Grace of God.

Peace.

Opposition leader flays Lebanon's "mafia" cabinet
September 10, 2006 -Reuters
By Alistair Lyon, Special Correspondent
Lebanon's government is clinging to power so it can steal foreign aid meant for reconstruction after Israel's war with Hizbollah guerrillas, Opposition leader Michel Aoun said on Sunday.

Strange is General Michel Aoun, he used these words forgetting the fact that our beloved country was destroyed by his ally Hizbullah Party.

i'm not defending anyone by this post, but i'm simply expressing my thoughts.

Michel Aoun, stop playing on the rods of confessions, stop claiming that you are an angel in the forest of demons. your history shows clearly that you are the only demon for your society, you are climbing the mountain on envy, hate, religious conflicts and on throwing the sands in the eyes of your followers. Be a man for once in ur life, talk like a man... don't react. show us for once that you a real wise leader, not a follower for your instinct. i really regret the fact that i'm wasting my time to write this post. Stop your quioxotic wars, you are the Mafia, your party along with Hizbullah, in what they call "Jihad el Binae'", are the Mafia, by distrubuting dirty money on Southerns... As a Lebanese "from where you get this money?" i'm asking you... which embassy is giving you that money, and for what reason? aren't you a major player in the conspiracy of destroying Lebanon again, as you did before in 1989 and in 1990... please, tell us what's your program for the future of the country. it's so clear for me and for lot of free thinkers that you are ready to destroy everything, especially the independence achievemnet, just to reach that chair, and what a chair!!!!
Stop pretending that you are asking for "auditing", we insist on it too, but please tell me do u know how much it costs us the July adventure War? i'll tell you just 10 billions American Dollars, strange huhhhhhhhh. yeah as stranger as you. This money we lost in the time of peace and independence, not in the occupation era.
you are happy because you are gainning popularity by the dirty money you are distributing. Lucky you, your 21 dolls will become 30 in next election (but you forget that Lebanon needs real men not dolls)... wawwwwww a big achievement, you'll be the President of the Republic, Congratulations!!!!!! but please answer me for what Republic, and what's the cost you have to payback for the countries supporting you... Stop being a Mafia, a real Mafia, stop your negative thoughts toward the real defenders of free Lebanon... Free Lebaneses are paying their blood to sustain the independence while you just playing with the fire with your Pro-Syrians new allies... one more question, tell me have your new allies changed their political ideology toward Syria and Lebanon or you did??? whatever your answer will be... i'll just tell you:

Shame on You!!! Shame On you!!! Shame on you...

Peace...

By ANDREW DAMPF, AP Sports WriterSeptember 10, 2006
MONZA, Italy (AP) -- Michael Schumacher announced his retirement from Formula One on Sunday, moments after the seven-time world champion won the Italian Grand Prix.
The 37-year-old Ferrari driver, who holds every major record in the sport, will leave after the year-ending Brazilian Grand Prix on Oct. 22.
``Soon my future will belong to my family,'' Schumacher said. ``But for now, what matters is this world championship.''
Ferrari said it would announce a ``new role'' for Schumacher at the end of the season.
``I will always be part of the Ferrari family,'' he said.

Seasons in the Sun

I don't know why i was mumbling and repeating this song all the day long...

Tomorrow is 9/11, a very milestone in my life...

7:55pm of 11th Sept, 1994 my mum expired...
May God rest her soul in peace... Amen

Song: Seasons In The Sun (Lyrics), Westlife

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and ABC's
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

Goodbye Papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye Papa it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them, I'll be there

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground
Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

Gaby

Nature's Beauty of North Lebanon

What i miss the most in Lebanon is the North, with its splendid greenery, blue sky, diversity of color hues... and above all its good heart people there...

Peace...

Miles Between Us...

There's a sea between us, love, and I wish that it weren't true,
for every day when I awake, I yearn to be with you.
There are many miles between us, love, though you're always here in my heart,
and every night, beneath the silver starlight, I pray for the day we'll never part.

I Miss You...

How could a relaxing evening with a steamy bubble bath, with soft romantic music (Love me tender... love me true...), the warm glow of candlelight, along with the taste of fine wine, and the scent and softness of rose petals get any better?

If you were here to share it with.

Peace...

Hadia Ties the Knot in Front of the Ruins of her Destroyed Home

a good example of the Lebanese Spirit
Congratulation Hadia... Mabrouk in Lebanese

Hadia Ties the Knot in Front of the Ruins of her Destroyed Home
She wore a white lace dress, a wide-brimmed hat and a radiant smile. Hadia Mneimseh was married in front of the ruins of her destroyed home. A primary school teacher, Mneimseh, 31, had planned to wed on July 13 in the apartment where she was born. Everything was ready: the announcements had been sent, the food ordered, the hall rented. But war decided otherwise. On the day before her wedding, after the abduction by Hizbullah of two Israeli soldiers, Israel began bombarding Lebanon, including Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hizbullah stronghold. The Mneimseh family apartment, an 11-storey building adjacent to the headquarters of Hizbullah's welfare arm, was hit. Worse still, the building where the couple had rented an apartment to start their new life together is cracked and could collapse at any moment. Each fled to the homes of relatives to escape the bombardment but more than that would have been necessary to crush Mneimseh's spirit. She insisted on a wedding in front of her childhood home. Her husband Hussein Daher, 37, a worker at a cooperative, agreed. The party took place Saturday at her sister-in-law's home in the mountains, far from the ruins. While war-battered Lebanon faces a struggle to rebuild after the 34-day war, Mneimseh declared herself "very happy."(AFP)

A Thursday Night

A Thursday night,
From where shall I start, the only song I was able to hear at that dark was “Queen of My Heart” I was curious to check its lyrics (below), it’s really incredible. Some coincidence happen in life cannot be understood. To be with a person is very important, especially at Thursday night, here in Dubai, u need to go out relax, gather, enjoy some happy hours. Therefore, what you’ll do if you are alone. What miracle can u wait? You enter the crowd and chaos of the pub, take your drink, sit on a table, and try to enjoy the music. “But no matter how far… Or where you may be… I just close my eyes…And you're in my dreams”…

Suddenly, I enter to your world, cannot hear anything around, just you and me in a place…

she’s not far anymore, here she’s in the eyes of a swan… feel her soul captivating your breath, u try to smell her scent with every gasp… u can feel her, take her hand and fly again… to a peaceful world… your world… her wonderland… u can see more the lights around her face… she’s a queen with a bright crown … she’s dancing with the swan… lovely….

Where am I??? I’m not dreaming, since I’m feeling… it was a marvelous moment…

You finish your 1st drink; ask for another… ahhh u still have to take one, since you promise her to drink one extra… “No need…” I’m sharing u every drop, my soul is dancing with yours…. The light keep reflecting on a small pool, the colors look bright, mixing, moving floating, fill ur heart with tranquility… time run quickly… moment to move back, take the Taxi, enjoy the sequence of lights of Dubai… unexpectedly, u find urself in need to stay more with her, you stop the driver, decide to walk next to the creek, while the lights are reflecting in harmony, everything is silent…

just you and your mermaid… no instant can be comparable to that one… u share a small chat “loving people create a lot of love in the world…” she said, “Love leads to peace in the world” u replied …”I never felt so much love in my life…” she said… ahhh u shall be sleeping at that time you said, “ it’s better 2 hours with you like that than sleeping 8 hours…” she added… she took your breath away, u cannot tell if that’s a vision or reality… u get confused, u need to move to go out of that wonderful dream… u decide to leave the calmness of the creek, move forward to the street…

car passing fast at that time, roads are empty, hot air hits ur face even after midnights… u see ur building, u try to move fast ur steps… “no, why I’m heading fast there”, u sit on a bench look at the sky, no stars twinkled in the blue… u look upward to see her face again…. yes u feel scared to sleep and leave her alone… but why shall u be selfish like that… she wants to sleep, but u prevent her… Time still running, u r few steps from ur flat, but what r u waiting for don’t u move ahead… waiting for your soul to come back, or to the light of the dawn to wake you up…. Why ur heart is beating fast… are you in love? Why you don’t tell her your truth, what scare you… stop being hesitating, whatever you’ll not loose her… she’s the daughter of your thoughts, she’ll not leave her home anywhere… just stand up and tell her, be sincere and honest to yourself… such a lovely night cannot be lived by urself… she must be here alive just tell her…
“I Love you….”
Yes you do, why you shall lie to her… stop running… leave the lift… “no. I shall move on…”
I take the lift, reach my flat, sit on the couch… wash my face… actually I want to wake up from that dream, look at the mirror, it’s reflecting the beauty of her eyes…” huh, why u r smiling?” you see it was not a dream, it’s your reality… You were living that Thursday nigh with her… are you still scared to tell her the truth…

“No, no absolutely not…” hold your phone and tell her then…. Yes I will…

Gaby says:” I Love you my queen…”
Xoxox says:” Good Night…(k)”

And the storey has no end…..


"Queen Of My Heart" lyrics
So here we stand
In our secret place
With a sound of the crowd
So far away
And you take my hand
And it feels like home
We both understand
It's where we belong
[Bryan:]So how do I say?
Do I say goodbye?
We both have our dreams
We both wanna fly
So let's take tonight
To carry us through
The lonely times
[CHORUS:][All:]
I'll always look back
As I walk away
This memory
Will last for eternity
And all of our tears
Will be lost in the rain
When I've found my way
Back to your arms again
But until that day
You know you are
The queen of my heart
[Bryan:]Queen of my heart
[Shane:]So let's take tonight
And never let go
While dancing we'll kiss
Like there's no tomorrow
As the stars sparkle down
Like a diamond ring
I'll treasure this moment
Till we meet again
[Mark: (All:)]But no matter how far
(Matter how far)
Or where you may be(Where you may be)
I just close my eyes(I just close my eyes)
And you're in my dreams
And there you will be
Until we meet
[Repeat chorus twice]
[Shane: (All:)]Oh yeah
You're theQueen of my heart(Of my heart)
No matter
How many years it takes(Queen of my heart)
I'll give it all to you
Oh yeah(Queen of my heart)
Oh yes you are
The queen of my heart

NUCLEAR WAR-FEARIranian cataclysm forecast

I hesitate to much to post this article, but let's share it togther...

NUCLEAR WAR-FEARIranian cataclysm forecast
Aug. 22Islamists seeking heaven could spark apocalypse, Princeton expert warns© 2006 WorldNetDaily.com

A top expert on the Mideast says it is possible Iran could pick Aug. 22, the anniversary of one of Islam's holiest events, for a cataclysm Shiite Muslims believe will forever resolve the battle between "good" and "evil."Princeton's Bernard Lewis has written an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal advising that the rest of the world would be wise to bear in mind that for those who believe the end of the world is imminent and good, there is no deterrent even to nuclear warfare.As WorldNetDaily has reported, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has urged his people to prepare for the coming of an Islamic "messiah," raising concerns a nuclear-armed Islamic Republic could trigger the kind of global conflagration he envisions will set the stage for the end of the world.He's also said, in a WND report, that Islam and its followers must prepare to rule the world, because it is a "universal ideology that leads the world to justice."Now comes Lewis, who notes that the world must be concerned about a leader for whom the possibility of death is not a deterrent."In this context, mutual assured destruction, the deterrent that worked so well during the Cold War, would have no meaning," Lewis wrote. "At the end of time, there will be general destruction anyway. What will matter will be the final destination of the dead – hell for the infidels, and heaven for the believers."For people with this mindset, MAD is not a constraint, it is an inducement," he said.Lewis noted that Ahmadinejad has referred to Aug. 22 several times, including when he rejected – until that date – United Nations requests for nuclear program information.Lewis, joining several other Mideast experts who have expressed similar concerns, said Aug. 22 corresponds to the 27th day of the month of Rajab of the year 1427."This, by tradition, is the night when many Muslims commemorate the night flight of the prophet Muhammad on the winged horse Buraq, first to 'the farthest mosque,' usually identified with Jerusalem, and then to heaven and back," Lewis wrote.In Islam, as in other religious, certain beliefs describe the "cosmic struggle" at the end of time. For Shiite Muslims, Lewis wrote, this will be "the long awaited return of the Hidden Imam, ending in the final victory of the forces of good over evil."The significance, he said, is that there's a "radical" difference between Iran and other governments with nuclear weapons."This difference is expressed in what can only be described as the apocalyptic worldview of Iran's present rulers," he wrote. Iran's leaders now "clearly believe that this time is now, and that the terminal struggle has already begun and is indeed well advanced."As for intent, a passage from the Ayatollah Khomeini, quoted in an 11th-grade Iranian schoolbook, reveals priorities: "I am decisively announcing to the whole world that if the world-devourers (i.e., the infidel powers) wish to stand against our religion, we will stand against their whole world and will not cease until the annihilation of all them. Either we all become free, or we will go to the greater freedom which is martyrdom."Lewis wrote, "This might well be deemed an appropriate date for the apocalyptic ending of Israel and if necessary the world. It is far from certain that Mr. Ahmadanejad plans any such cataclysmic events precisely for Aug. 22. But it would be wise to bear the possibility in mind."Lewis, the Cleveland E. Dodge professor emeritus of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University, specializes in Muslim history and interaction between Muslims and the West.His comments echoed those made just a few days earlier by Robert Spencer, another scholar of Islamic history, theology and law and the director of Jihad Watch.In an article for FrontPageMagazine.com, he wrote that Farid Ghadry, president of the Reform Party of Syria, noted the commemoration of Muhammad's ascent to heaven from the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.Spencer said the Night Journey, or Miraj, is what makes Jerusalem a holy site for Islam, and Islamic tradition believes Muhammad, along with the angel Gabriel, went to the Temple Mount, and then to heaven in a bathing of light over Jerusalem.Spencer reported that Ghadry talked of Ahmadinejad's plans for an illumination of the night sky over Jerusalem to rival the light of that Islamic belief.Ghadry said what the Iranian president is "promising the world by August 22 is the light in the sky over the Aqsa Mosque," Spencer said.He said a nuclear attack on Jerusalem, or even a conventional attack, would be consistent with the references that have been made, including Ahmadinejad's talk that Israel "pushed the button of its own destruction" by returning fire for Hezbollah's rocket barrage.Also, "Atomic Iran" author Jerome Corsi notes that it's less significant whether Hezbollah survives, "but it's really the first chapter in the play for Iran and the Shiite Islam nation to come to ascendancy in the Muslim world."First is the battle against Israel and the United States, he said, then against Sunni Islam. Where that group is more dominant, he said, is in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, where group members are "not unhappy to see Iran contained.""They may launch an attack, but I still think if they had a weapon they would just go ahead and use it," Corsi said. "Terrorists don't brag about things they're going to do until after they do it."He said the recent comments are more typical of terrorists' efforts to get attention."When Ahmadinejad is capable of taking action he will do it without any warning or bravado; he'll just do it," Corsi said.In the updated edition of "Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians," now available in paperback from WND Books, Corsi discusses many of the disturbing developments related to Iran.Meanwhile, Tanzanian customs officials have uncovered an Iranian smuggling operation transporting large quantities of bomb-making uranium from the same mines in the Congo that provided the nuclear material for the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima 61 years ago, according to a recent report in the London Sunday Times.A United Nations report, outlining the interception last October, said there is "no doubt" the smuggled uranium-238 came from mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's mineral-rich Katanga province.The smuggled uranium discovered by Tanzanian customs agents was hidden in shipment of coltan, a rare mineral used to make chips in mobile telephones. According to the manifest, the coltan was to be smelted in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan after being shipped to Bandar Abbas, Iran's largest port.Uranium-238, when used in a nuclear reactor, can be used to create plutonium for nuclear weapons.

Montserrat or Monserrat (both: mon"sur?t', mont"–, Catalan monsur-rät', Span. m?ns?rät') [key], mountain, 4,054 ft (1,236 m) high, NE Spain, rising abruptly from a plain in Catalonia, NW of Barcelona. On a narrow terrace, more than halfway up its precipitous cliffs, is a celebrated Benedictine monastery, one of the greatest religious shrines of Spain. Only ruins are left of the old monastery (11th cent.). The present monastery was built in the 18th cent. and restored after being destroyed by French troops in 1812. It has a valuable painting collection, library, and museum. The Renaissance church (16th cent.; largely restored in the 19th and 20th cent.) contains the black wooden image of the Virgin which, according to tradition, was carved by St. Luke, brought to Spain by St. Peter, and hidden in a cave near Montserrat during the Moorish occupation. In the Middle Ages the mountain, also called Monsalvat, was thought to have been the site of the castle of the Holy Grail. At Montserrat, St. Ignatius of Loyola devoted himself to his religious vocation just before the founding of the Society of Jesus.

The Legend:

MONTSERRAT, THE "HUMAN FACE" OF A MOUNTAIN

http://es.geocities.com/ramonramonetriu/

Everywhere, the Mankind ever desire try to watch the own face self-reflected in a bigger one. Rally, people is able to recognize that every human face -between all the things in the world- it´s the best image, because contains all the five human senses. In the "Landsat" NASA photosatellite of Mt. Montserrat (NE. of Spain), the conjunction of its most high peaks look like a "Human Face" image with severe expression, as never seen before
The Egyptian god Seth,whom the greeks called Tiphon and identify with the figure of an ass, is the key of the symbolism in my book "The Human Face of Montserrat"(LA CARA HUMANA DE MONTSERRAT), which, in 1990, I finally had to do the photolites and edit myself since the publishing companies were not prepared to do so.The distribution, sales and even the photos were all done by myself and for this reason is probably the last of the "artisan" books in the western world.In this book I have collected together ideas about God and Evil which I assimilated over more than a decade, beginning at the same time as my discovery, in a scale model, of the human face which appears in the aerial view, in my book, of a very circumspected bearded man (these aerial photos were part of the information gathered by a NASA satellite).I then dedicated the second part to summarising, as briefly as possible, all that I discovered written about asses over a period of more than 50 centuries all moralising done in light and amusing way. The only connection between such varied themes is the biblical scene "The Balam's ass".My subliminal intention was to refiried on God and Evil, because in the classical Mediterranean culture the ass represented the horned Egyptian god Seth, the forerunner of the figure later called Satan (I did not was well understood).

3-victory
n : a successful ending of a struggle or contest; "the general always gets credit for his army's victory"; "the agreement was a triumph for common sense" [syn: triumph] [ant: defeat]

Use of Loss

While loss is generally considered a sad or unfortunate thing, but I rather use this theme to explain and promote the positive aspects of absence; I’m an advocate of respecting and accepting the state of being without. Through losses, one can gain a richer and stronger appreciation for both success and belongings. My feelings on loss, I believe that possessing : neither material possessions nor the joy of success are the real keys to happiness.
A battle that could be considered both, literal in the sense of a war, or more symbolic as it could act as the anthem for any type of loss or failure. Success or winning is most valued by those who never prevail. Loss creates the strongest appreciation for a win. This implies that necessity is the only way in which to understand what you want. an actual battle has taken place by saying:
Not one of all the purple Host Who took the flag today Can tell the definition So clear of Victory.
Winners cannot value their victory. In fact the defeated group understands the meaning of victory when "The distant strains of triumph/ Burst agonized and clear!" the dying soldiers comprehending the meaning of winning the battle in a way that the victors never will. The reason that the winners can't understand the significance of their victory is that they did not taste defeat. The loss of a battle demonstrates to the unsuccessful how far they are from feeling the exuberating of success. Being in a losing state, at least sometimes, is better than winning all the time. The deflated feeling of being unsuccessful increases the state of appreciation one has for winning.
I remain consistent in the theme of loss but take an approach that is more appropriate for everyday life. One is happier and more contented when they are in a state of want. It is the moment before one receives what one wants that are the most fulfilling. The anticipation of obtaining the objects of desire creates an appreciation for the object that is lost upon possession… This satisfaction inhibits one's motivation to strive for more. To want, will be one's companion forever because we will always tend to want either something else or more of the same. A "commissary" as defined in Webster's Dictionary, is a person to whom special duties or trust is assigned. Want as this personified companion, is an unavoidable and persistent being. The fulfillment of human desire is to be fully satisfied would be an abnormal and unnatural state for human beings. This emphasizes the point that the anticipation of being satisfied creates the most joy. Humans are rarely completely satisfied but that this state of desire and necessity is a positive thing. Not only does it help one to appreciate gaining what they do not have, but it also creates a motivation that keeps one striving for higher goals. If we all had everything we wanted, what would keep us going?
Positive point of view of loss is through that not lost the feeling of want and desire. These states of being are natural and that they inspire people to strive for more and better things. Whether that motivation be to win a battle or obtain a material possession, the goal is still the same. In turn, that goal can't exist without the feeling of loss. The unfortunate people are those who win or possess things too easily. They do not have an appreciation for the things they have or their success because losing is the best way to relish victory.
