Simba

Simba was chosen as his name

He has golden fur and when he grows he will be 6 to 9 lbs. . The name "Simba" comes from the Swahili word for lion. 

Glorious days

Nice quote on a wall @ Queen St

Whatever the reason may be, the  persistence  of religion in the modern world
appears as an embarrassment to the scholars  of today

Toronto in May

I like it that while we are busy with our daily tasks and business, someone's business is to bring a new look to our neighborhoods. Here is what I'm talking about:

Banana

Meanwhile in our math class...

A life-changing event, a new era of our life has begun. After few months of hard work, it felt really good this morning, when I opened my eyes and I saw a smile on my sunshine's face. It was worth trying and it was worth keeping up the hard work.

Dark clouds slide away and the light at the end of tunnel brightened our life. Let the morning sun proclaim. Here , I let the following lyrics to tell the rest of the story. (thanks for Blank and Jones).

Let the morning sun proclaim

The light of the world

Let the golden day unfurl

On every way

On every hill

Each angered fist uncurl

Caress the hardest heart

Stir the sleeping earth

Each stone

Each blade of grass

The soul of the world

Ignite a brand new day

Let the morning sun proclaim

A brand new start

Caress the hardest heart

Caress The Hardest Heart

Let the morning sun proclaim

The light of the world

Let the golden day unfurl

On every wave

On every hill

Each angered fist uncurl

Caress the hardest heart

Stir the sleeping earth

Each stone

Each blade of grass

The soul of the world

Ignite a brand new day

Let the morning sun proclaim

A brand new start

Caress the hardest heart

Caress the hardest heart

Caress the hardest heart

The soul of the world

Ignite a brand new day

Let the morning sun proclaim

A brand new start

A brand new way...

2-day vacations

We just realized that a short trip to Niagara can be pretty damn refreshing.Good to know....

Toronto weather has been amazing this winter. Most of the times , I have been able to walk (short distances) in my shirt without wearing a coat.

What happened to -40 ? global warming might know the answer?!

Resolution for New Year

Surprisingly, my new resolution in the year of 2012 has nothing to do with what I thought I should do in 2012. It started by noticing the fact that I do not notice how serious I think of my problems and how my mind always generates a halo of complexity around a problem which may not be as complex as it looks all or may not be as important as I take it. I have always followed the advice of scholars and have tried to apply what they have had to say. One of the major guidelines of my life has been the following Einstein quote:

“Problems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.” Albert Einstein

However, my understanding of the above quote was that to solve a problem effectively, one must built a higher level of thinking in which the problem can be analyzed by all its related elements. A creative mind may – silently – add a few unreasonable elements to such problem and make it a more complex and complicated problem. There is no proof that complex problems can be only solved by solutions that are more complex than these problems. Therefore, even complex problems may have simple solutions. A thinker who sees the problem the way that the problem is and tries to find the simplest yet most effective way of dealing with it is what I call a “Happy Thinker”. One of my main resolutions in the year of 2012 is to understand/adopt and apply this method if thinking.....

Upsetting situation...

Just wanted to write down about few things that are really bothering me right now.

- Alex is taking a lot of my mind and I just don't know the consequences of not having him...

- I wish there was an easy way to get a replacement for him

- I really want to find another Alex for us but it just seem impossible right now as we have other priorities.

Maybe these are the last few years that we are struggling for these things. I came to work and I was already really tired. The whole night I was thinking about what Ifs !

I went to imgfave, "Make me think" collection and saw tens of them to see if they can make me feel better . I guess it's my defense mechanism towards annoying feelings. I feel a bit better now.

I hope in few years, when I check this post again, I see our life at a different stage.

To Alex: You were kind to us and we will always remember you.

Washington D.C

I had a very busy week in Maryland and Virginia...on my way to Washington Dulles Airport I witnessed one of the worst thunderstorms that I have ever seen, It was pretty much the kind of tropical storms that I saw in Mexico. Due to crazy weather situation, our flight had almost 4 hours delay and I got to Toronto really late.

Here are some related pictures....

Nothing left to go wrong .............

These days, I'm often bothered with a mixture of sad or rather unwanted feelings. so far, I wonder if all these feelings are caused by real factors or some are simply just made by my creative imagination. (creative in creating problems that do not really exist or may not happen! ) . Another reason could be the fact that I have heard at least one shocking news every other day.... the only good thing is soon there will be nothing left and of course nothing can go wrong when there is nothing left ....... It all reminds me of this amazing quote:

To where should I go ?

To right , wherer there is nothing left....
Or
To left, where there is nothing right
