So whenever you grab a piece and put it where it should belong, you surprisingly see that it fits but the picture doesn’t match.., it gets more and more distorted and you get confused with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s very common to know someone only from the phone or emails, at work for instance when dealing with some other branches in may be other countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or knowing people from their writings; reading their thoughts and ideas in their blogs, still it’s just one side, the other sides will always remain unknown.&lt;br /&gt;Even more the revealed side might be hidden in reality and that’s why the only place for it to get liberated is expressing it in writing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The common mistakes usually are, forgetting the main objective of collecting the pieces… that is to see the picture, just to know what it’s like not to assess or judge it. We all overlook that fact to the extent that we often try to interfere with the picture and try to change it.&lt;br /&gt;Another thing, there will always be missing pieces, no one knows the whole truth but Allah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, life is a place where we are supposed to work to earn, plant to eat, and think to understand.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nesrinabo.blogspot.com/feeds/4295797540223139166/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395330&amp;postID=4295797540223139166' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395330/posts/default/4295797540223139166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395330/posts/default/4295797540223139166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nesrinabo.blogspot.com/2007/02/last-and-never-found-piece.html' title='The last and never found piece'/><author><name>Nesrina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15320866673638833468</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://newton-i.usefilm.com/images/4/4/9/7/4497/1151308-medium.jpg'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395330.post-9032741864866231215</id><published>2007-02-05T04:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-06T00:33:14.526-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Coincidence</title><content type='html'>“Message in a bottle”, the original name of my blog, &lt;a href=&quot;http://nesrinabo.blogspot.com/2005/03/message-in-bottle.html&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;my first post&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;and that intriguing idea of an old sad but full of hope practice I am totally fascinated with.&lt;br /&gt;Today I coincidently found this bog and read that post &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bighope.blogspot.com/2006/10/blog-remembered.html&quot;&gt;“Blog Remembered”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Didn’t know the someone else has thrown his thoughts and hoped to be discovered and read.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interesting thing in that particular blog that the comments are not activated, so I wondered… how would he know if someone has seen his message ? … may be the counter, may be he doesn’t want them to be discovered, or he doesn’t believe they will be discovered…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Walked out this morning&lt;br /&gt;Dont believe what I saw&lt;br /&gt;A hundred billion bottles&lt;br /&gt;Washed up on the shoreSeems&lt;br /&gt;Im not alone in being alone&lt;br /&gt;A hundred billion castaways&lt;br /&gt;Looking for a home&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now these words are making sense, seems there are a lot of messages waiting to be discovered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: I don&#39;t know the writer or the owner of that blog, but I am aplologizing if I am</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nesrinabo.blogspot.com/feeds/9032741864866231215/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395330&amp;postID=9032741864866231215' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395330/posts/default/9032741864866231215'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395330/posts/default/9032741864866231215'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nesrinabo.blogspot.com/2007/02/coincidence.html' title='Coincidence'/><author><name>Nesrina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15320866673638833468</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://newton-i.usefilm.com/images/4/4/9/7/4497/1151308-medium.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395330.post-9201850837065612310</id><published>2007-02-04T06:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-04T06:04:15.746-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Valentine&#39;s day: 10 days away :)</title><content type='html'>One of the undeniable features of February, it’s nice I can’t argue… to see the store displays elegantly covered with red, it radiates warmth over the grey cold winter.&lt;br /&gt;Tulips , roses… . , surprises, bears and gift boxes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the fact that this particular day has no significant to me, but it’s an opportunity to see something special.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last year, I got the weirdest present … I received a phone call from “A” urging to leave me something at the company’s security office, I said sure you can.

A kind of warmth that makes me feel secure and satisfied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insensitivity hurts, cold looks or responses can freeze the world around you.&lt;br /&gt;Leaving you trembling and shaking, looking for somewhere to hide and feel safe again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loneliness also makes you feel cold; even in mid July, even with people all around you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no such thing as to care about some people and ignore the other. A caring tender heart can&#39;t be choosy, it&#39;s filled with warmth and feelings and it doesn&#39;t release them upon a request, it just radiates them wherever it goes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it what we will lose if we let go of the warmth we have inside us.&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s so simple, just be sincere and try to connect with everyone around, feel them, they might be cold as well and a simple word, a gentle look, a pat on the back, or even a smile can turn their winter into a wonderful colorful spring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is that so hard? Just think before you talk, do something special for someone without asking if he deserves it or not, listen and remember this world is not just about you, give chances and be forgiving, think of what you need and didn&#39;t get and try to make it up by giving someone else what you know he wanted. It&#39;s a cure for the soul and a relief for the heart. Be thankful and have faith and ask whoever you trust what do they see and you don&#39;t, view things from other angles and put yourself in others&#39; shoes, say sorry, repent, try to be the good you the one you think you no longer are. … I wish I could do that too.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nesrinabo.blogspot.com/feeds/4908395020218798588/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395330&amp;postID=4908395020218798588' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395330/posts/default/4908395020218798588'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395330/posts/default/4908395020218798588'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nesrinabo.blogspot.com/2007/01/warm.html' title='Warm'/><author><name>Nesrina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15320866673638833468</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://newton-i.usefilm.com/images/4/4/9/7/4497/1151308-medium.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395330.post-8605513522299527711</id><published>2007-01-04T05:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-04T13:11:36.932-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Dancing Queen</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000099;&quot;&gt;&quot;You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000099;&quot;&gt;Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourineYou can dance, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000099;&quot;&gt;you can jive, having the time of your lifeSee that girl, watch that scene, ... &quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Deep inside I am just that girl, can&#39;t really tell how different am I now than when I was seventeen, it has been eleven years … but I can&#39;t feel them.&lt;br /&gt;If age is what you feel, I am definitely not 28 or let me say 29, …&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not afraid of being old, I do respect and appreciate older or senior people, they are wiser, more mature, more experienced, … years carry with them pearls and jewels and whenever a year passes, it leaves you with one of them till you have a whole tiara like the one that grand parents have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it&#39;s not only I don&#39;t feel my age, I guess don&#39;t look my age too. I didn&#39;t realize that till I got that new job and during the phase of getting acquainted with my new colleagues.&lt;br /&gt;It didn&#39;t bother me a all hearing the same comment that &quot; no way you look younger&quot; till it started to be challenging with superiors, with them explaining and elaborating things for me as if it&#39;s my first time to be asked about specific tasks and then their surprise having the tasks done. It&#39;s manageable after all, and it doesn’t harm to have a fresh look on one&#39;s image every once in a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was never a foolish child; never got myself or anyone into trouble, have been the one who listens and tries to understand since I was young. So may be that&#39;s why I don&#39;t feel any difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing, if you measure something there must be a scale… so assuming that the range is the lifetime and since no one knows at what age will it end … so, you can&#39;t say from a scale 1 to 70 or 80 I am middle aged or not because may be I won&#39;t reach 70 or even the next day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw a program the other day on TV asking celebrities where would they like to be in 10 years, and the answer that really touches me was &quot;to be alive&quot;. Yes we take our lives for granted instead of seeing it as a gift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My advice is, embrace your lives, appreciate each day, make a difference and always remember it&#39;s a journey that will end one day so it&#39;s better you leave something of value behind and get reward for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that wouldn&#39;t ryme but I don&#39;t care :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;&quot;I am a dancing queen, young and sweet only 28 :)&quot;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nesrinabo.blogspot.com/feeds/8605513522299527711/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395330&amp;postID=8605513522299527711' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395330/posts/default/8605513522299527711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395330/posts/default/8605513522299527711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nesrinabo.blogspot.com/2007/01/dancing-queen.html' title='Dancing Queen'/><author><name>Nesrina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15320866673638833468</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://newton-i.usefilm.com/images/4/4/9/7/4497/1151308-medium.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395330.post-8583685042178583139</id><published>2006-12-31T12:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-31T12:22:32.983-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I am Tagged !</title><content type='html'>My dear friend &lt;a href=&quot;http://bluelue.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000066;&quot;&gt;Blue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

they knew how wonderful it was when it becomes past. They have great memories but they never lived a good day… imagine !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8- At work the most brutal task you can be given is when your boss harms someone, delegates you to represent his ugly face and see its reflection on that person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9- So he is capable of saying what should and shouldn’t be done, he is not doing it though… seems his mouth works independently from his ears and mind, I expected to hear at the end of the sentence “………………………………, this is a recorded message”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10- Forgiving is possible, forgetting isn’t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11- Don’t look for a pattern, people are different.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12- I am kind of lost, keep asking myself “ Is that the right way “ I am sure it isn’t but I know I came across it truly by mistake but for a good reason.&lt;br /&gt;“Right things sometimes happen in the wrong places”.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nesrinabo.blogspot.com/feeds/116582666898170819/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=11395330&amp;postID=116582666898170819' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395330/posts/default/116582666898170819'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11395330/posts/default/116582666898170819'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nesrinabo.blogspot.com/2006/12/insignificant-thoughts-7.html' title='Insignificant thoughts (7)'/><author><name>Nesrina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15320866673638833468</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://newton-i.usefilm.com/images/4/4/9/7/4497/1151308-medium.jpg'/></author><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11395330.post-116478670501476709</id><published>2006-11-28T22:57:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-30T00:08:20.426-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Insignificant thoughts (6)</title><content type='html'>1- “Home” is not a house, … not a country, … not a person, it’s security and serenity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2- Men tend to avoid women when they are angry, although this anger flies away once she feels there is someone to support or just be there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3- People searching for love are searching for a missing part of them knowing there is someone out there who has it. Wish that someday the two of them will be a complete whole ONE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4- People who define themselves with what they own or what they do, are truly what they own or what they do except that they no longer are “PEOPLE”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5- Waiting, … needs strength, some people mess up during that phase , do the wrong things to make themselves busy, others are patient enough to hold on and some people lose resistance and die.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6- I prayed to god and I am sure I will be answered. I have never wanted something that badly and I wasn’t answered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7- I want to get closer, watch and listen to everything … I am not curious, I just want to understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8- How difficult to keep holding the truth from someone as it will hurt and bear the guiltiness of contributing in an illusion that dear person is living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9- We do have the tolerance for pain and sometimes enjoyment as well, it makes us human… life is a harmonized set of contradictions and so are we… so the soft sad warm violin note, fuzzy chilly winds as the sunsets, dark quiet nights, a sweet tender look from the least perosn expected, …. There are no patterns in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10- Being silent for a long while, makes you have a lot to say… but makes you forget how to say it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffffff;&quot;&gt;Previously &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://nesrinabo.blogspot.com/2006/09/insignificant-thoughts-5.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffffff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;on...
