2023 was a crazy year for me! I learned with time that there is no such thing as a “bad year” or a “good year.” There are good and bad days in a single year. Sometimes, there are more bad days than good ones, but I’ve learned to let the good overcome the bad, to let it outshine the negative times and make them seem small. It is extremely difficult to do so, but when you see the bigger picture, when you see how God can take the bad and turn it into good, you will thank Him in all circumstances and your hope will renew. Here are the lessons I learned this year!

On October 26th, the Théâtre Beanfield hosted the Egyptian rapper, Wegz, whose real name is Ahmed Ali. The artist behind the songs “El Bakht” and “Keify Keda” was born in 1998 in Alexandria. His career took off when he released “Dorak Gai” on March 11, 2020, which brought him great success since the song had reached 24 million views in only two months.

It’s Spooky Season and I’m unfortunately late in writing this post. However, it’s never too late to watch movies! Here are some of my recommendations regarding thrillers/scary movies to watch on Halloween (or any other day).

Sometimes, you’ll watch a movie and the next day, it’s as if you had never watched it. It’s almost forgettable, like when you don’t remember what you had for lunch yesterday. However, other times, you’ll watch a movie that will make you feel all the feels, and even though you only watched it once, you remember it so well as if you had watched it a hundred times. In this blog post, I want to talk about those movies, the ones that made me either cry, laugh so hard, made my heart melt… Basically the ones I could never forget.

Not long ago, I came across Bassel Alzaro and Karim Rihan’s YouTube channel called “El-Podcasters”. They interview all kinds of guests, mostly celebrities/public figures from the Middle East, since the duo comes from the media industry. I’ve listened to many interviews and thus decided to share my favourite and most inspiring ones.

WARNING: SPOILERS
Since the pandemic, my favourite hobby has been to escape reality in every way I can. Since I prefer to stay safe and stay in, I watch a couple of movies and/or tv shows and read books every day after work and during the weekends. I’m into Egyptian movies and TV shows so bad. I have watched so many of them that I decided to write reviews again on my blog. I’ll write about all kinds of movies, music, books, etc. even if I’m late. I’ll write whenever I feel like it and today, I feel like writing about Lo2lo2, starring Mai Omar.
The show tells the story of a girl, Lo2lo2, who grew up in extreme poverty and was abandoned to an orphanage by her grandmother who couldn’t take care of her. Her father was a greedy criminal, and her mother was arrested instead of him because he ran away. When she became an adult, Lo2lo2 decided to escape the orphanage with her only friend, Marwa (played by Hadeer Abdelnasser), and start a new life. Lo2lo2 always dreamt of becoming a singer. The show goes on showing the ups and downs of a young woman who finds fame, and once she does, her life is never the same.
