Mashta Al Helou is one of many tourist villages in the area and is ranked among the best tourist villages in Syria. In Mashta Al Helou there are many tourist services like restaurants, hotels, resorts and swimming-pools. It is distinguished by its mountainous climate, it being: moderate during the summer and cold during the winter. It is known to snow in some winters. Tourists find Mashta Al Helou a summer escape from the heat and enjoy its fresh air. Like much of Syria, Mashta Al Helou is surrounded by glamorous, ancient monuments that are frequented by many. This lies testament to the country's rich architectural history.

Few blood drops

There she stood in a semi dark room with gothic walls and strange drawings…shaking shivering and hesitant. To do or not to do, that is the Question??
She approached the damned chair with uncertain steps and sat. cold sweat drops on her forehead and shaking fingers. Closed her eyes and aspired hopefulness. She knew once she is there, there's no turning back. inhaled some air and….

A needle pinch and a few blood drops and there it was her little Diamond standing on her nose :)

The Illusionist

He builds around you castles in the sun, awesome pictures, rainbows and butterflies
Fields of roses, rivers of silver, seas of gold and fairytales. things you would never dream about. Ever lasting love, immortality, passion, romance, wealth and lust,
He appears and insults expectations with the words you intended for praise and arouses unspoken suspicions
What is worse is that, you get pursuit by the illusions while you’re assuming that you created it, it holds a view contradictory: little sweet voices blooming, it’s insisting that it captured you. so damn insisting plagued in mind and soul.

Weak up its only illusions!!! But whom am I fooling?

My sweet liar
My beautiful lie.

A movie talk...

No no no I won't be talking about 300 the epic everybody's talking about and I really don't know the reason of the big fuss it made I mean yea I've seen it and yea the direction of the movie was great but that’s it for me,,,no other comments on it…

Yea I always crave for the sweet romantic movies as any other woman dose…So what?

The Holiday is a romantic comedy. You know what that means. And if you don't like romantic comedies, don't go and see it. If you do, you will know what to expect. The mushy feelings creeping up on you. All those 'If Only . . .' emotions telling you there is a lovely place somewhere in which people fall in love and everything works out kinda perfect
I laughed. I cried. I awed. My jaw even dropped a couple of times . This movie is not only about heartbreak and heart ache, it's about finding yourself and appreciating the true things in life.

Iris (Kate Winslet) is in love with a man who is about to marry another
woman. Across the globe, Amanda (Cameron Diaz) realizes the man she lives with
has been unfaithful. Two women who have never met and live 6000 miles apart,
find themselves in the exact same place. They meet online at a home exchange
website and impulsively switch homes for the holiday. Iris moves into Amanda's
L.A. house in sunny California as Amanda arrives in the snow covered English
countryside. Shortly after arriving at their destinations, both women find the
last thing either wants or expects: a new romance. Amanda is charmed by Iris'
handsome brother Graham (Jude Law) and Iris, with inspiration provided by
legendary screenwriter Arthur, mends her heart when she meets film composer
Miles( jack black).

All of the characters are wonderfully developed especially Jude Laws he's a yummy girls
-the under-story of Jude's character adds an extra dimension to his character and really makes you love him even more.

Here's some Quotes of the movie:

Iris: I've found almost everything ever written about love
to be true. Shakespeare said "Journeys end in lovers meeting." What an
extraordinary thought. Personally, I have not experienced anything remotely
close to that, but I am more than willing to believe Shakespeare had. I suppose
I think about love more than anyone really should. I am constantly amazed by its
sheer power to alter and define our lives. It was Shakespeare who also said
"love is blind". Now that is something I know to be true. For some quite
inexplicably, love fades; for others love is simply lost. But then of course
love can also be found, even if just for the night. And then, there's another
kind of love: the cruelest kind. The one that almost kills its victims. Its
called unrequited love. Of that I am an expert. Most love stories are about
people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What
about our stories, those of us who fall in love alone? We are the victims of the
one sided affair. We are the cursed of the loved ones. We are the unloved ones,
the walking wounded. The handicapped without the advantage of a great parking
space! Yes, you are looking at one such individual. And I have willingly loved
that man for over three miserable years! The absolute worst years of my life!
The worst Christmas', the worst Birthday's, New Years Eve's brought in by tears
and valium. These years that I have been in love have been the darkest days of
my life. All because I've been cursed by being in love with a man who does not
and will not love me back. Oh god, just the sight of him! Heart pounding! Throat
thickening! Absolutely can't swallow! All the usual
symptoms.

Amanda: Sex makes everything more
complicated. Even not having it because the not having it makes it
complicated.

Miles: Iris, if you were a melody...
I used only the good notes.

Graham: Long distance relationships can
work, you know.
Amanda: Really? I can't make one work when I live in the
same house with someone.

I do recommend it highly especially For the romantic fool in all of us.
and for disparate girls This is one of the good movies that shows that there are good guys out there is this world.

Me siento tan bien

Te extraño. Parece como si nuestros cuerpos estan mas lejos que los años. Este sentimiento intenso que por ti siento no puede ser apagado por los mares. Tan fuerte es mi ilusion que solo el cerrar mis ojos me lleva a un nuevo sueño donde tus labios y tus ojos son los que mi alma contempla. ..no sabio como me haces sentir tan bien !

Sometimes you feel at a very low level with your self that you start hating your self, it has nothing to do with self confidence its just one of those depressing moments. And out of nothing you lay your hand on a fortune. "someone" that lifts you up to the seventh heaven, and maybe you think your self in love but you shouldn't be.
You are just at the top of feelings like having an multiply orgasm…pampered by the sweetest of words feeling good about your self and your body and feeling that killing sense of being desirable. You are the peak now pumping with femininity and indulged by the sensation….I'm just feeling so damn good
