Top 10 Best Compliments to Give a Guy


Im sweating as i type because i think ive set a certain standard of blogging that i need to upkeep. So here goes: For my 2nd blog ever in this life, i would like to equip everybody on what i think are the top 10 best things you can say to a guy (some apply to women, especially number 5).

No, these are not a list of things people have told me, but rather a nice mix of things i've said to others and what i've heard being said.

It may be useful, and it may not be of any use, but the objective is to share what i think is worth sharing.

Here we go with the TOP 10 BEST COMPLIMENTS TO GIVE A GUY::::::::::
  1. You inspire me. (wow that’s deep) 
  2. I look up to you. (siblings - natural-born responsibility of being the role model as a first child) 
  3. You’re fucking hot. (yes, the swear word is essential. It brings it to another level…)
  4. I hope my son grows up to be like you. (usually this comes from mothers)
  5. I wish you would marry my daughter. (usually this ONLY comes from mothers)
  6. I am proud of you. (Yes pride is one of the deadly sins but this type doesn’t cause any deaths! J )
  7. You are leaving gigantic shoes to fill. (hmm not sure if this deserves to be in the top 10 but I love it anyway)
  8. I want YOU on my team. (could be in sports, work, study groups, relationships)
  9. You’re the best I’ve ever had and will ever have. (no comment)
  10. Any general complements relating to the greatness and size of his physical features (specifically: arms, shoulders, biceps, chest, and other manly organs)
Your thoughts? Hit me back with a list for girls so i can use it!!!!!

Story of a Bum in Beirut

For my first post EVER, i thought it should be SUPER interesting so im going to share a story that i heard during my weekend stay in Beirut with my father. 


THE STORY OF ABOU EL REESHE

In Beirut, Lebanon, the year was 1979 and my mother lived next to the lighthouse (Manara). There was a crazy poor man who lived inside carton boxes on newspapers in a deserted piece of land next to their house. His name, as created by the people of Beirut, was Abu el Reeshe. He always had a huge weather sticking out of his hat (hence the name REESHE meaning FEATHER in Arabic). My grandmother used to feel sorry for him so time to time, she would ask him to wipe her car and she would give him some change. He was quite a character always blabbering to himself about incoherent irrelevant subjects in some sort of Arabic. Very nice gentle guy but totally wacko. 

In 1982 the war started in Lebanon and the Israeli army reached Beirut.

Abou el Reeshe, the poor bum without a home or barely any food to eat, turns out to be an Palestinian/Israeli Mossad Officer who was actually spying on the Syrian Army activities in Lebanon for years!!!!

Apparently he was spotted in 2005 in Hamra, so he's around... probably not pulling the poor-guy image, its too hot for that these days. :)

intense stuff!! that's why i love listening to older people talk!
