Happy Ice cream month!!


Nothing is better than ice cream in this summer. It is really a cool feeling when u are under the sun wearing your sunglasses near the beach and eating ur favorite ice cream.. what a feeling.
There are several flavors of Ice-cream as we all know, for me, my favorite flavor is Vanilla and Strawberry cheese cake, but what if I ask u to try the garlic or the salt and pepper flavor? no they are not chips! they are ice cream flavors..


Before 25 years Ronald Reagan - the 40th president of the United States- deemed July as the National Ice cream Month in 1984 and he also pointed that the third Sunday of July to be the National Ice cream Day but he didn't know that one day there will be a Brown bread ice cream or even a lobster ice cream!!

It was a trend that spread among the small shops which sell ice cream, they started to make different and weird flavors, flavors that u can't imagine, but even the national chains like Baskin Robbins started to do the same thing by inviting new ice cream flavors :) There is even a green chilli flavor in India ! can't imagine the taste....


Here are the more inventive ice cream flavors ! what do u like to try ?

Now grab ur favorite ice cream and enjoy :D

Malcolm X: A great person to remember





I know it may looks weird to review a movie that is before 19 years, but I just felt that it is amazing and everybody should watch it or read the book and know more about this person. The story talks about one main thing, racism!

According to Oxford Dictionary, Racism is "the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race , especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races." and for me it is just a type of unfair act towards a group of people with certain character that they have nothing to do with it ! you can't judge people and put them in a corner because they are black or yellow or whatever! that's what the movie and the book talked about. It is about a man who was suffering from racism like any other Afro-American person in the states at that time. White people used to kill them, hate them, and take everything from them. They suffered a lot as a black community when every white man was asking them to go back to Africa. it is all about how a kid wanted to be a lawyer but he couldn't cos he was black !

I like it when Malcolm said in one of his speeches that they are black and Africans even before all those racism acts or the country is exist! and this is so true, we are humans before everything else. The other thing that I like is how he said that black people should love and believe in themselves to make people love them instead of trying to be like others. I think we all should do that not just black people! his story gives a lot of lessons -apart from Islam-.

Well, many people specially Muslims see him as an icon for Islam in America, but for me, I think he is more than that, Islam was a part of what he did, but he gave a great lessons in humanity and self appreciation with his 39 years. More than that, I like it how he changed his opinions and believes when he realized the truth. it gives another lesson in how you have to say it if u did something wrong, it ain't a shame!

I didn't like how he was in the beginning, he thought - or they taught him - that black people should hate white men even though his mother was white -she hated her white blood and she chose to marry a black man- he refused to work with white people who believed in him, but after his visit to Mecca, he realized that it is not about the color, he went to "Hajj" with white people who have a light hair and blue eyes and he was eating with them.

Unfortunately he was murdered in the end in a very bad way , I didn't like it cos I think that he should stay longer - but this is his destiny - and it is how some people hate and can't accept others, he had more things to give to the world and to the humanity not just for Muslims or Afro-Americans.
Simply his

The movie is 3:15 hours long but reading the book is much better :)
Good video to watch !

Father's Day

Today is June,19th a day to honour fathers arround the world ! so I just wanted to share some things about this day and it's origins so lets see

The Father's day holiday started the first time by
Sonora Smart Dodd, She initiated the idea after listening to the mother's day sermon in 1909 then she suggested the idea of the holiday..

She did that to honour her father who was a Civil War veteran, he raised her with other 5 siblings when her mom died in childbirth. it was a tough job for a single parent to do that so she wanted to honour him with a special day..

The date of the holiday was chosen because it is here father's birthday :)
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson and his family personally observed the day and in 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day, but it didn't become an official holiday int the states until 1966...
I really do believe that mother's day should equals father's day, they both do an equal jobs towards their kids but each one from his/hers place.. that's why we call it a family ..

So now all I want to say is Happy Father's Day to all fathers around the world and to daddy , the greatest dad ever ^.^

I loved this cartoon :D

Hollywood star walk


I was surfing the LA times website and I found this amazing slide show that contains information about all the people who were honored to put their names in more than 2400 stars on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood. It is really interesting to read and know more about famous people from different categorizes including politicians, inventors, heroes, Oscar winners, cowboys and many more! It surprised me to find dogs too ..
There is also an application for this in App store.. :D
So now you have to start the journey from Here.
