I like the name itself.
Basel was a 5 years-old boy who had brain cancer. My sister, being a nurse at a cancer centre, met this boy. She said he was extraordinary; smart, charming and very gorgoues. But most of all, he was very brave.
She said that everytime he saw her he'd say "you are the ugliest nurse I've ever seen! You never wear make-up!"
But one day, he was late for his chemo-therapy session and he had this fake sword with him. So he went to my sister wanting to fight her, my sister adores kids, so she said " well, why don't you use your sword with the ppl who operate the session?" when that worked, he came up to my sister and said " you know, you're not ugly anymore =)"
One day, I went to visit my sis, I ot to her house before her, and she came along with this tiny bottle of bubble solution and said "hey look, Basel got me this today because he thinks I'm pretty now"
I loved this boy without even meeting him. He, and many other cases, just tell you how strong a child is. They know they're sick, but they still play around and laugh along. Basel was brave, very brave.
He lost his ability to speak lately, he only smiled at people he liked.
The beauty of life lies in the eyes of these charachters who paint your world with their charming souls. It hurts when you see such a soul in such pain but it even hurts more when you know there's nothing you can do but sit and watch them slip away.
Makes you very happy when one of them recovers and joins life again without fear of dying soon yet you get a new hope everytime one of these amazing people smiles at you.
Basel died last week.

The NT Zone: Someone Stole The Bridge!!
It was an ordinary Thursday a few months ago, T and I were going home from college after a long long day at the summer term. Summer classes are known to be boring, annoying and melting-hot.
Missing our direct bus home, we had to take 2 buses, one down to the old bus "station" and the other from there to home.
On the way, there's a big beautiful park, Al-Hussain Park; a nice place to have picnics with your family & friends. The bus passed by it and there was a project to make a new pedastry bridge there. You know, bridges designed for people to use them when wanting to cross streets.
The steps there, but the main body was not done yet. So I looked out and said " Hey T, look!!"
She looked and said " yeah, it's a bridge project.....find someone who cares."
So I said " no no, idiota!! Eres muy tonta!! that's not a bridge project, that is a crime!! Can't you see that someone stole the bridge??"
Dark side is, at that moment, I REALLY had the idea that someone stole the bridge; I was just wondering how they smuggled it away, unnoticed.
Bright side is, everyine in the bus, except for T, was too busy yawning to have heard, cared or laughed at what I said.
There you go, and NT moment brought to you by NIDO =D
Till I write again, peace ;)

The NT Zone
My best friend and I have our own angle from which we look at situations. We always try to find the bright side or simply season up the dark side. From these seasonings comes up our own comments and situation poins of view. Mostly funny. Here are some of our funny moments.

Because I'm A Scorpio
A person's astrological sifn isn't really the first thing I inquire about....it might be the last thing, or let me be honest, I don't really care about this kind of things!
Yet it strikes me how some people believe SO much in it! I've stumbled upon some people who wouldn't go deep into talks with me because their astrological sign just doesn't get along with mine......
Another thing, some people were astonished when they found out that one of my friends and me are both scorpios, stating that scorpios do not get along together. In fact, my friend was astonished herself that we;re both scorpios and do get along.
I just don't get it, why should a star formation that was in the sky on the day in which I was born affect me at all? It just doesn't make sense to me..
Does it make sense to you?
Now, why am I so angry at this, well, because I'm a scorpio! What's YOUR excuse for reading? =P

Born Yesterday
This is usually used for saracasm "what do you think I was born yesterday??" as a signal of somone as if saying "I'm not stupid, I'm not low-informed"
But I'm gonna use it here litrally..
Yesterday, a new soul joined my life, joyfully.....no, I'm not getting engaged ( this was what everyone thought once I said that line!!)
I've been blessed with a new nephew joining my "Auntie Nido" club. My sister, after a pretty exhausting journey, gave birth to a baby boy named "Faisal"
Of course, I didn't see the baby yet, my sister is abroad and gave birth abroad, so, I might not see the new baby for a while.
I'm very excited!! And can't wait to meet Faisal, her 3rd baby and my 12th nephew!!
May Allah bless him and all my loved ones.
It's a BIG SKY !! Brighten up =D

Another Bunch Of Thoughts
"Over-Joking Can Lead To Disasters"
The thing about Joking is that it's not always right. For any joke to be funny, it must be made at the right time and with the right manners.
You can't expect me to laught at a joke that was meant to make me look like a fool to everyone present. One more thing, once u let the joke hit the road, it's not funny anymore.
"If You Study, You Will Pass.....No More"
This is niether a general case nor should you take it for granted. It's just at some points on this globe, your looks and behaviours matter more than your work.
"Stop The Typical Predictable Questions!!"
So when you meet a friend they asdk you the same old questions with the same old answers; as if all they care about is hello and goodbye. I do admit that it's the best way to start a conversation, yet it just gets boring when you do it the saem old way...create new ways!! And there's absolutely no harm if u add a nice smile to that.
"Enough Already!!"
Ever noticed how some TV shows are over-due, over-consumed and just gotta be pushed out of the tray? I mean, I believe that they never planned for a certain TV show to last for ore than one season, but then it sky-rockets and succeeds sot they think "oh what the heck, let's make another season and make more money!!" but it just hits them that the next season is a failure. Why? Because you only made it to make money. There's no creativity in there.
"Don't Try To Be Cute, Just Be You!"
Many would say"hey, I don't fit in here, I gotta do what this group of people does so I can fit in" Well, I disagree. If you can't fit in, convert things to your own layout. Just be you, don't be scared of looking different than everyone else. Think of yourself as normally as you can. Just be you.
