[Poem] L.O.V.E.

This is pretty much inspired from the song L.O.V.E. song by Natalie Cole
quite short, but I like it a lot though..


Poem #140

L.O.V.E.

Written 29.12.2008



L is for the amazing love I have in my heart for you

O is for the strong obsession I feel towards you

V is for the great value of my life after knowing you

E is for eternity, that is how long I'll keep loving you

[Poem] I Want You Back

Poem #139 

I Want You Back 

Written 24.12.2008

I'm sorry I made you want to leave me

I didn't mean to, please believe me

All I want from life is to be with you forever

But I was foolish, and never clever

I lost you while trying to keep you

I had a dream I never thought was true

I miss you like hell, I want you here

I want to love you and feel you near

I want to let go of the feelings I hold

I want to let my heart's book unfold

I want to hold you close and never let go

You're the one who makes my feelings grow

Will you forgive me for my selfishness?

Will you come to revive my happiness?

I want to die if I can't be with you

But I look forward to living with you

It's the thing that keeps my hopes alive

It's what pushes me to sadly survive

All I'm doing is praying, crying, waiting…

Will you finally answer my calling?

[Poem] I Want to Write

Poem #135

I Want to Write

9.12.08


I am confused, having a lot to say

Don't really know the right way

To express all what's going on

And everything that's been done

A lot of feelings, a lot of emotions

A lot of sadness, a lot of notions

Buzz, achievements, success

And making great progress

But still, it's like wanting to run

Not feeling like having any fun

I want to hold a paper and write

Wishing to feel everything is alright

I want to cry and be held

I want to scream and be heard

Hoping to be hidden away from life

Coz it keeps stabbing like a knife

What's this silly life all about?

A bunch of days that fill us with doubt

Making us worried about tomorrow

Giving us hopelessness and sorrow

Stealing our ambition and dreams

Driving us to dead extremes

It's all in vain let me tell you

Love is the only thing that's true…

It will give us power to defeat

All hatred, revenge and deceit

But where is this love? Is it here?

Will it ever come so near?

Will it ever give me poems to write,

Filling me with excitement and delight?

What is it that we are all searching for?

Wanting to be cared for? Or is there more?

The ambiguity of life, its mystery and all

When will all these mighty walls fall!

Are we supposed to feel okay?

Will these rocks get out of the way?

I am tired of stumbling and getting up

I am strong but I am just fed up

Life is simply a series of waves

Choose to be a hero, or one of its slaves

But remember the burden to be carried

All the sadness that can't be buried

You choose a way, you can't go back

And you don't know what will attack

You sacrifice, you fall and once more

Wish that there could be any door

That would open to your land of dreams

Where everything is full of bright gleams

Where the scent of love fills the air

That spreads happiness with no despair

Where is the door to this land?

Is it even real or is it just a dream of sand?

That collapses when the wind blows

And when you wake up, it's nothing but hopes

Of which none has come true

Then life goes on, you try to find a way through…

[Poem] Microprocessors Hell

The Long awaited poem :) in the occasion of the feast, I present the 

"Microprocessors Hell" Poem

 

Poem #133

Written 6.12.08

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

It was the day before the holiday

And everyone wanted to go away

Defeated, we stayed of course

But then we were full of remorse

What on earth was happening?!

What were we attending?!

Is it microprocessors or hell,

From which all these assignments fell?!

PIC, TSR, interrupts..

A volcano that always erupts..!!

How dare we ask to enjoy days off!

Why shouldn't things be tough!

It's pathetic but it's the normal thing

That CSD will always bring

No matter how much we shout or ask

No one removes a single tiny task

"You're clever people" they say..

"You've to hate life more everyday!"

But I really don't care coz it's in vain

I'm a programmer, so I won't go insane

Coz of some chips or an ugly debugger

I won't allow this course to make me suffer!

Imagine Cup Registration

 

مساء الخير للجميع :)

 موفع المسابقة التكنولوجية الاولى على مستوى العالم، بتنظمها مايكروسوفت كل سنة والسنة دي مصر بتستضيفها.

عايزين نشجع كل الناس انها تسجل اسمها في موقع المسابقة (تسجيل الاسم مالهوش علاقة هاشترك في المسابقة أو لا).

طب ليه اسجل اسمي؟  
1. لو عايز اشترك في اي فرع من الفروع التسعة للمسابقة اكيد لازم اسجل (الفروع دي زي التصوير، تصميم برامج، وحاجات تانيه كتير)
2. لو عايز تستفيد من اي تدريب مايكروسوفت هاتقدمه في اي فرع من فروع المسابقة لانهم عايزين يشجعوا الناس عشان نظهر بصورة كويسة السنة دي قدام العالم.. التدريب هايكون من خلال موقع المسابقة أو من خلال دورات في شركة مايكروسوفت نفسها على ايدين ناس متخصصة. فمثلا في مسابقة الفيلم القصير هايدرب الناس مساعد المخرج بتاع خالد يوسف ومعاه سيناريست ومصور.
3. مايكروسوفت هاتقدم برامجها الاصلية مجانا من خلال موقع المسابقة للناس اللي هاتسجل اسمها وده علشان الناس تستخدمها في المسابقة. بس حتى لو مستخدمتهاش في المسابقة، على الاقل هاتقدر تنزلها من موقع المسابقة بعد ما تسجل  اسمك   

4. عشان تقدر تتعرف على اخر اخبار المسابقة وتستفيد من عروضها على موقع مصر اللي عملته السنة دي 



اسجل ازاي؟ 
1. افتح الصفحة دي
2. هاتكتب بياناتك عادي ولما يسألك على الـ
referral code
هاتعمل الآتي: لو انت من جامعه اسكندرية اكتب في الخانة دي  
MSPAU1 Club07
لو مش من جامعة اسكندرية اكتب    
MSPAU1

المسابقة التنافس فيها لأي طالب: المدارس والجامعات والدراسات العليا. لكن اي حد يقدر يستفيد من مزايا التسجيل على الموقع لأنك ممكن تسجل كـ  guest 

ياريت تبعت للناس اللي تعرفهم كلهم عشان هما كمان يسجلوا ويستفيدوا 

نسيت اقول ان مصر عاملة سحب على عربية للمصريين اللي هايشاركوا في اي مسابقة سواء كسبوا او خسروا 
:)


ياريت الكل يسجل بسرعـــــــــــــــه :)  واللي كسلان يسجل اسمه يبعتلي وانا هاسجل له :)
