إزاي ترضيللي حبيبتي
اتمعشق في اسمك وانتي
عمالة تزيدي في حيرتي
ومنتش حاسة بطيبتي ازاي
مش لاقي في عشقك دافع
ولاصدقى فى حبك شافع
ازاي انا رافع راسك
وانتي بتحني في راسي ازاي
انا اقدم شارع فيكى
وامالك من اللى ماليكى
انا طفل اتعلق بيكى
فى نص السكه وتوهتيه
انا لو عاشقك متخير
كان قلبى زمانه اتغير
وحياتك لفضل اغير فيكى لحد مترضى عليه
إزاي ترضيللي حبيبتي
اتمعشق في اسمك وانتي
عمالة تزيدي في حيرتي
ومنتش حاسة بطيبتي ازاي
مش لاقي في عشقك دافع
ولاصدقى فى حبك شافع
ازاي انا رافع راسك
وانتي بتحني في راسي ازاي
ازاى سايبانى بضعفى
طب ليه مش واقفه فى صفى
وانا عشت حياتى بحالها عشان ملمحش فى عينك خوف
وفى بحرك ولا فى برك ازاى احميلك ضهرك
وانا ضهرى فى اخر الليل دايما بيبات محنى ومكشوف
انا اقدم شارع فيكى
وامالك من اللى ماليكى
انا طفل اتعلق بيكى
فى نص السكه وتوهتيه
انا لو عاشقك متخير
كان قلبى زمانه اتغير
وحياتك لفضل اغير فيكى لحد مترضى عليه
إزاي ترضيللي حبيبتي
اتمعشق في اسمك وانتي
عمالة تزيدي في حيرتي
ومنتش حاسة بطيبتي ازاي
مش لاقي في عشقك دافع
ولاصدقى فى حبك شافع
ازاي انا رافع راسك
وانتي بتحني في راسي ازاي

Visit: http://marconsi365.wordpress.com/
and stay tuned ..
Finally, I like my drawings :D
Just to kill time, I started to DRAW !!!! and because I am not good at drawing – never was and will never be 
– I chose to draw some EASY cartoon characters…
thanks to you tube and to those people who published the HOW TO DRAW cartoon characters videos… I loved the results so i decided to share it hope you like them too
(Click to view Large)
I know they are not PERFECT .. bas perfect is not the idea behind me drawing …
I really enjoyed my time and will try to update you if i have any other successful trials
The Circle of life
Based on a true story…
He was 10 years old when returned back home to find a an old guy he has never seen before, the old man approached him and asked; what’s ur name? he took a glance at his father and the smile on his face gave him the security to answer: my name is (—-) what’s urs? Although that first conversation went like any ordinary conversation between the two generations, but that man changed the life of the young child, three weeks passed and they met daily; he learnt everything he can learn at that age and the man taught him all what he can in that short time… One day, the old guy had to travel back to where he came from; that day wasn’t the best day for the young child, he lost two important things in one same day .. a friend and a feeling… but he was too young to understand.
It wasn’t long time afterwards when his father told him that he has to get dressed to meet someone he has not seen for long time. That day he saw a girl, that girl is his cousin who travelled with her family long ago, last time he saw her they were only 4 .. for the first time he feels he has memories and he found himself able to ask that question he always saw his father asking “Do you remember ….. ?”
He was so happy to see her, and he tried as much as he can to meet her during the family gatherings that occurred to welcome the visiting family.. but again one day she had to travel, they promised they will in keep in touch; this time he lost one important thing… but he was again too young to understand.
Years passed, and that young child was 16 when his cousin returned again for a visit … now he was old enough to understand: in the three times he lost the family feeling; in the first visit of his uncle and the two of his cousin he felt the warmth of a family gathering, he saw people he loves all together; sitting, laughing and chatting. He felt like he had people to count on… and three times just after the visits end no one sees anyone.
He was 18 when the same feeling repeated; he asked, he got only one answer: The circle of life. Not the lion king’s circle of life of course, the other one, work and/or marriage, the circle that people always take as a reason to stop seeing each others and asking about each others. He wasn’t convinced, but he believed because they are the people he loves.
Days passed, and the same feeling repeated several times… the sudden gatherings with everyone around and the sudden loneliness when everyone leaves for the circle of life. His main problem was warmth; he used to feel it, but as he grew older, it decreased
He graduated, he entered the circle of life but he never felt that busy that he couldn’t meet those people … there were always time. Then he understood the trick .. the circle of life is not the real reason it’s only the fake one … the one used to convince people that they have no time even to eat during work and they return home exhausted and never able to answer their calls . The truth is if you really treasure someone, you will find a way to make him happy.. no matter how busy your life is …
One day, he sat in one of the what so called family gatherings; people were talking but he never heard them, they were saying funny stuff but he never laughed, exactly as if you are watching a movie and your speakers are muted.
He is not blaming anyone, nor blaming the circle of life … he could have done something to change things instead of saying the same reasons but it’s too late now
this was supposed to be a short story but it turned to be just another scattered thoughts that came up into my mind

مريم – يحيى غنام
مريم
اسم طفله فلسطينيه
كان ميلادها في المخيم
يوم 11 من يناير
مش مهم في اي عام
و اما بدات في الكلام
كانت الأيام آلام
و الليالي زي بعض
انتظار و صوت و برد
الصغار كرهوا الخيام
و اللي سارقين السلام
جريت الورده البريئه
بس سور السلك حاشها
جرح الفستان خدشها
نقطه سالت من دماها
دمعه نامت فوق خدودها
فيها معنى الاحتجاج
فيها معنى الاحتياج
كان في عينها شئ بيسأل
وطني فين
مريم
اسم طفله فلسطينيه
كان ميلادها في المخيم
الطفوله مش طفوله

مش مهم في اي عام
is a name of a palestinian girl
that was born in the (refugee) camp
on the 11th of january,
doesn’t matter in which year
when she started talking
the days were pain
the nights were similar
waiting, loud, and cold
the young hated the tents
and the robbers of peace
the innocent flower ran
but the wire fence stopped her
it tore the dress, it grazed her
a drop of her blood ran
a drop of tear slept on her cheeks
which has the meaning of objection
which has the meaning of need
in her eye something asked
where is my home
mariam
is the name of a palestinian girl
that was born in the (refugee) camp
The childhood is not childhood in the (refugee) camp
the young don’t laugh,
don’t play
born with grey hair
between a problem and a rifle
and the problem is the same
it’s that

Perception of Photography
In this article I’ll be trying to analyse how people perceive photography, from my point of view, This article is based on Noticing and Personal Opinion … if you have another point of view please share it 
Art is about expressing points of views and feelings. Nevertheless technical or conceptual mistakes could occur without decreasing the value of effort and art put in the piece. Perception of art is not a RULE, there is no right answer. Everyone sees the artwork according to his background of knowledge, interest and taste.
Photography is art, but not every photo shall hold artistic perspective in it, a very simple photo captured with the least settings can be meaning full in keeping memories for life time or delivering a great message. Nevertheless the presence of an artistic view shall give excellence to the photographer in every way.
Recently, digital Cameras gave the opportunity to everyone to capture his life moments and Facebook gave the opportunity to share them and get people’s feedback. Facebook also gave Professional Photographers and Hobbyists an easy and free channel of exposing their work and getting various judgements from people with different interests.Viewing pictures on Facebook and analysing people’s reaction. I reached the following results:
- An ordinary eye can differentiate between a good & a bad photo and between a good & an artistic shot. this becomes more obvious when someone is viewing a pile pictures, he skips some, he stares at others and stops at one and ask with excitement ”OMG, HOW DID HE GET THAT SHOT?”
- Some people never say that a bad photo is bad, they’d rather not comment than writing their honest opinion. Others try to find the best about whatever photo posted i.e there is no bad photo for them. Few people try to provide a technical or a conceptual advice and this by far doesn’t mean that they don’t like the photo.
- The photographer’s point of view is different for the same picture – including his own work- than the viewers.
-The availability of Facebook as a channel for sharing photos of professional Wedding photographers that is used highly for marketing, increases the competitiveness of the market in the favour of the client.
- People are attracted more to “People’s” Photography; most comments goes to Photos with people; Weddings, Engagements, Graduations, Trips and Groups of friends despite the quality and the proficiency of the photo. The second category of interest goes to “Nature” and “Landscape” photography.
- Maternity and Child Photography are viewed as cute photos despite the art put in them, except for professionals.
- Modelling Photography is of interest to professionals & the model/photographers friends.
- Few comments goes to product, interior design and abstract photography, mainly if they are amazing shots.
- Profile pictures always attract the most comments and they depend highly upon the popularity of the profile.
Analysis is based on; my Photos, professional Photographers profiles and groups, Hobbyists, friends I know really interested in Photography and just those photos capturing memories and scattered all over Facebook. The Final step of my analysis is “Tell me your opinion” album.
Finally, I would like to stress that every comment a photographer receive on a photo is an added value to his skills and opinion whether it is a positive or a negative comment. And a photographer shall not be upset with a negative comment specially if it’s a critic for a technical or conceptual detail in the photo.
You & ME
This picture is not my idea.. i saw it long time ago …
and while reading this Quote i remembered it and shooted it specially to share the quote with you all

Brain Storming
Things storming my mind … I just wrote it down and then I felt it might be good enough to be shared…
- When I was a baby, I was dreaming of being a big guy. When I reached primary school, I was dreaming of High school. In high School, I couldn’t wait to be a university student. In university I was very excited about practical life and it’s mysteries. In practical life, I am wishing to return a baby … That’s ironic !
- What’s a Life decision ? the difficult decisions that concerns our Studies, Careers and Love Life, decisions that you will build your whole life upon, those decisions that makes you think for days, discuss the matter with all your friends and family, google it.. and when somebody simply asks you “what’s up?” you stare at him as if he committed a crime asking you while thinking of a LIFE decision … and FINALLY, when you take the decision; in every good event occurring afterwards you admire yourself for choosing what ever you chose, and with every error occurring you hate yourself and blame everyone for your stupid decision and when things just go normal with no ups and down you start doubting your decision.
Life is more easy .. just know what you really want and let it go nice and smooth and stop thinking with and without reasons … I know people who shifted career at the age of 30 (although the first was a life decision when they took it) and they are just happy and enjoying the change. Just relax and do what you feel and never think about wasting time, because each day you live and you adding something to yourself is never a waste.
- When you want to prepare an outing and you call your friends they all claim “WESH, just specify a date and a place and we are totally in ya ma3alem”. And when you do it and message them with the date and place you determined one week a head, you start receiving apology messages or calls, (people have really busy schedules for the coming month .. seems i am the only free guy). Moreover and that really annoys me are those people who never reply my messages and appear on the day of the outing wanting to change the place. One Outing of those ended up with 6 people circling round the Globe to find a place that suits all six. P.s. the RSVP list exceeded 20.
- Graduation is a very emotional moment 100% related to memories and friends… I bet you if any one thought about this future or his job while throwing his Cap.
- Management is a way of dealing with people … once I was sad studying it but now.. I wish everyone can understand it.
- Business and emotions can never be separated, no matter how professional you are, at the end you are a human being who has emotions and can or cannot bare certain decisions or specific work load… and this is why a whole Management Science called Human Resources Management is there to fix the relation.
- Youth are not UNEMPLOYED for economic reasons ONLY, but also because they suffer complete loss of dreams. Either they dreamt but never knew how to achieve that, or someone killed their dreams due to certain social stupidity. The hardest case is the ones who never learnt to dream.. w lw batalna ne7lam nemoot…
- Customers are always right …no matter how much you are satisfied with your business or whatever service you are providing, your clients are the indicators of your excellence or quality. So when a client just gives you his opinion, something must be right about it.
- When you hear a story from someone concerning someone else. Never believe it completely, everyone of us prefers to add his spices to make the story interesting. And always take care the relation between sense of humour and the percentage of spices are directly proportional.
- If you have a camera, then for sure you can take photos but this doesn’t mean you are a photographer.. the surprise is if you don’t have a camera then for sure you can NOT take photos but this doesn’t mean you are NOT a photographer !!!
- Never tell an Artist, you artwork is “bad”,Firstly, Art is expressing point of views and feelings and secondly , there is what so called Artist’s EGO that really makes him mad (you don’t want to see a mad artist) . Instead discuss the technical or conceptual problem you can see (he will be delighted with that) or else just SHUT UP.
- When something really bad happens to you, something very good is there in between but you will never feel it unless you believed it’s there !
These are all only personal thoughts…inspired from what I lived and am living, to help me with what i am going to live.. they may change soon by age or experience but for now… they are storming
