Peace of Mind

A lazy day....I took this shot during the Autumn. It gives a feeling of relaxation especially when you realize that there is not even a single human being walking around the pool. I imagine everybody is back to school by now :)

My #1 TV Channel

Since I moved outside Leabnon, MTV has become my daily dose of Lebanese Entertainment.
Hope they will keep the live streaming up and running for free

Une Chanson dans la tete

View from....I bet you will guess it

well..everytime im in Lebanon I take this opportunity to go up to Harissa and have a look at this magnificant view. I just wonder if im ever going to be lucky enough to own a house with such a fabulous scenary......we'll see about that!

Yahshoush

well I guess it was a very sunny day..and luckily I had my camera with me..yeah but this came at a price. I had to walk my ass off to get this view from top of a cliff. It's a classic..
Ohh and by the way, no photoshop was used in this pic...yeah now I guess im giving some motivation to people with Camera phone to move it and take some shots

Who said Lebano Electro Pop doesnt exist?

Remember SoapKills? I spent my tender teenage years listening to their CDs *cough* *cough* I mean K7s... well at the time MP3s and internet streaming were a thing of the future really.
But anyways.. Soapkills were a 2 member band (Zeid and Yasmine...both from the Hamdan family but not brothers and sisters) who introduced electro music to Lebanon and were the most active band out there.
I remember once I almost killed one of my colleagues at AUB to get hold of their new album.
Then I dunno what happened... I guess I was taken away by Nirvana and the whole nine yards....so I lost any musical contact with the guys who killed that famous soap.
And then offcourse I had to hide from the boysband invasion and all the shity music that came with it....UNTIL.......one day a friend of mine (may god bless his fast typing fingers) tagged me in one of the soapkills youtube videos...which sparked an urge to Google their name...and to my great surprise I found out that both Zeid and Yasmine have started a solo career.
And THANK GOD FOR MYSPACE....u can listen to a decent bunch of songs from both of them. Yasmine performs now under the stage name of YAS...as for Zeid he is performing under the name Shift Z

Trust me....If you are living abroad and missing Lebanon...this is a perfect remedy...

A movie that I would give as a present to someone who has never been to Lebanon

One of my favourite Lebanese movie. Directed by Ziad Doueiri, staring his brother Rami.
This movie reminds me of my childhood. The streets...the people....the events....everything makes it a deja-vu. I recommend it to everybody who feels like discovering Lebanon and what this coutry has been thru during the past years of war.
