Why I am Depressed !!
First of all thank you all for your support , kind words and prayers.
Unsettled ask me to talk, to share and here is some.
Mostly, i feel like my life has been a big fail. I am no better than an animal , no disrespect to animals here, it's just i am doing nothing. Just work and home. Even my work which i was great in, not talking about the teaching part but how i connect with my students, how i was a guide to some has stopped. I can not stop yelling at them, i can not stop being scary. I keep blaming my sickness but it's not fair, it's me.
I miss my father, last time we talked was not good at all and then he went to the hospital and was in a coma which he died from later on.
I am lonely, not as a bad thing, but sometimes it's reckoning .
I have high hopes and expectations but couldn't perform any. My society strict me to do a lot.
when i wrote my previous post, i wrote the following too but didn't post:-
i have lost my self
i have done nothing
i am no one
i am becoming evil and yelling all the time
i am only how people see me
i care so much about people's idea about me
i am lost
i am unbalanced
i am sad
i am scared (especially for ............. fate) (my younger brother)
i miss him and don't want to see him at the same time. ( my younger brother)
i feel so sorry for him
i am alone.
i hate my self
i hate what i became at home and at school
i give some people more credit than they deserve.
* i felt a huge relief stopping blogging for this short time. Have anyone felt the same? Do you think too much blogging is a problem?. Plus i became so obseesed with the number of comments, the number of visitors and the stats. The more the number, the more people interested i kept thinking which is bad, see how awful i become.
P.S: last time was not for the sake of attention. But i guess i got friends i didn't know they exist :)

Really Depressed
I guess i have been ignoring lots of things lately. Maybe that's why, maybe not. But i am really depressed lately.
Life is depressing and i am losing faith in lots of things. I thought i could do something but i barely did the smallest. And i guess technology is adding more to the mix.
I have so much to say but could utter nothing, so i decided to go off and being silent for a while. Here and in real life.
I am taking a break for a while, short or long, only God knows. But i hope when i am back- if i got back. i would be a better me.
Thanks for your time, visit and lovely comments :)

Sunday Videos- What's Your Single Story?
While there is strength in learning from stories, the danger, as eloquently expressed by Chimamanda Adichie, is that we will confuse a person with a single story that happens to look like them.
Sunday Videos- The Most Amazing Tale of a Love Story
He makes you laugh so hard telling you about the love of his life, his wife :D
listen, watch and enjoy John Hodgman as he has perfected a way of stating pure invention as though it were well-understood and accepted fact. But he uses this talent to highlight, not obscure, a remarkable tale of falling in love.
Sunday Videos: We Are Not Where We Living
Often a story takes us, not in straight lines, but in circles, ending up where we began. And on returning, like Becky Blanton, we’re surprised to find that the journey has changed us so profoundly that the old place is completely new
Sunday Videos- The Case for Collaborative Consumption
I am a big believer in her idea.
Rachel Botsman says we’re “wired to share” — and shows how websites like Zipcar and Swaptree are changing the rules of human behavior.

The Weirdest Things Online
I was tagged by Haitham about the weirdest things that ever happen to me in the blogsphere or online in general.
ما هو أكثر موقف غريب/محرج حدث معك على البلوجر؟ "أو على الشبكة ال"ذبابية" بشكل عام"
honestly, i will be boring again and admit that there were no serious incidents that happens around here or in general.
Thankfully i didn't get any hate mail or stupid ones , i just got two.
One was asking me "why do I hate Islam and the Saudi government ?" because i was critical of some issues. But it's typical when you think that criticism comes from hate only and if you are speaking the truth then you must be a hatred person and the guy stopped emailing me after a few emails back and forth.
The second email, i got a few weeks ago. In it, a girl-supposed to- said that she came by my blog incidentally and was wondering if i was this "Wafa' teacher" from Medina , from "the .....school" ?
well,i knew that it was "something fishy" because here in my city we didn't reach that number in girls' schools. and I simply deleted it .
So... nothing much actually happens here....
Unless the time when i pay money for a scam program after i downloaded a virus and their program kept showing up on my screen as the only way to clean the virus and i was fool ':(
So, Haitham, how did i do?
was i boring :X
How about you -the rest who weren't tagged by Haitham-
what were the weirdest things that ever happen to me in the blogsphere or online in general ?

Define Your Own Beauty
So how did you define your own beauty ?
I did by breaking out of all stereotypical ideas of beauty,
of believing that beauty is not only seen but felt,
beauty is only when you love all, try to do our best to help and respect,
But mostly
beauty of a nice word
or
a big smile.

A Call To Men, Don't Act Like A Man
If you are a man, what do you think of the video and why do you think men act this way? is it the society, is it the way men have been brought up?
something else ?
Women, do you agree that teaching kids to not act like a girl is a way of degreading women and that by saying this we do actually built it in young's boys minds that they are superior to girls ?
Love to hear your thoughts :)

Human Rights Day 2010
The theme for Human Rights Day 10 December 2010 is human rights defenders who act to end discrimination.
Human rights defenders acting against discrimination, often at great personal risk to both themselves and their families, are being recognized and acclaimed on this day.
Human rights defenders speak out against abuse and violations including discrimination, exclusion, oppression and violence. They advocate justice and seek to protect the victims of human rights violations. They demand accountability for perpetrators and transparency in government action. In so doing, they are often putting at risk their own safety, and that of their families.
Some human rights defenders are famous, but most are not. They are active in every part of the world, working alone and in groups, in local communities, in national politics and internationally.
Human Rights Day 2010 will highlight and promote the achievements of human rights defenders and it will again emphasize the primary responsibility Governments have to enable and protect their role. The Day is also intended to inspire a new generation of defenders to speak up and take action to end discrimination in all of its forms whenever and wherever it is manifested.
The story does not end after 10 December 2010. The focus on the work of human rights defenders will continue through all of 2011.
The UN Human Rights office can assist you build your own campaigns for 10 December and the year to follow.
Human Rights Day 2010 by Amnesty International
Celebrate Human Rights Day by using the proven tool of writing letters to save lives.
Each year hundreds of thousands of people mark International Human Rights Day on 10 December by taking part in Write for Rights, Amnesty International’s letter-writing marathon.
We write letters and take action online to demand that the rights of individuals are respected, protected and fulfilled. In doing so, we show solidarity with those suffering human rights abuses and try to bring about real changes to people’s lives.
Join the hundreds of thousands of people around the world who will be writing letters and taking action online for 10 days in December. From Belgium to Benin and Switzerland to South Korea, Amnesty International events will take place around the world from 4-14 December 2010, to mark International Human Rights Day.
People will come together to Write for Rights by sending letters, emails, faxes, SMS messages and tweets, and signing petitions. Take action below.
TAKING ACTION CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Bu Dongwei spent over two years in a “Re-education Through Labour” camp in China until his release in July 2008, following campaigning by Amnesty International and others.
