Makeup

Happy First Day of Spring! 

     I am not afraid to say I was wrong. I was wrong when I said that women wear makeup for men. I have realized that not all women are like that and it was very wrong of me to accuse everyone of that. I will most probably never change my opinion on makeup. I am 100% against it. But it has taken me a while to finally learn that women wear it for self confidence. Women look at themselves and say "I'm not perfect." They think that makeup will solve all of their problems. That is not true. Makeup will just create more problems. Some makeup actually hurts your skin and damages it. Why are we wearing something that will make us fake? Don't you want people to look at you and say "Wow! She's not wearing makeup! She's all natural! That's her real face! It's so much more beautiful than the lipstick, mascara, eyeliner and blush that she would wear!" Don't you want people to see the real you and say to themselves that you're more beautiful without makeup? Why should makeup be our only source of self confidence? Phoebe Baker Hyde stopped trying to make herself even more "perfect". She "Skipped Lipstick, Ditched Fashion, Faced the World without Concealer, and Learned to Love the Real Me". 

She felt more confident than ever. She even wrote a book about it called The Beauty Experiment . We should all embrace the real us. There are better ways to gain confidence. 

Take it Off or Leave

Before I start my little rant, I'd like to apologize to you guys for not posting in a long time. I will try to post at least once a month because right now, I just post when I feel like it. 

     Where has the time gone? It's March! We're so much closer to summer break than I thought! Anyways, this Quebec judge refused to listen to this muslim woman's side of the story because she refused to take off her hijab. Apparently, religious garments are "not suitable for a court proceeding". How? Going to a court in a bikini would be not suitable. That would be very inappropriate but I'm not going to get in to the whole half naked thing. The hijab isn't going to harm you. Nor would a kippa. Nor would a cross. I say  if it's not inappropriate or harming you, it's fine. The woman was in court because her son was driving with a suspended license. They took her car away. She was there simply to request to have it back. The judge told her it was either take off your head scarf or go home. Quite an easy decision to me. I would never allow myself to be ordered around like that. When I wear the hijab, it will become part of me. Let's make a different scenario. I really do not mean to offend anyone with this scenario. A tan person is in court and the judge refuses to listen to them because of their race. Is that fair? No! Their skin is part of them. They cannot change that. Same with women wearing hijabs. Once a woman is wearing a hijab, it is a part of her. She enjoys having it on her because she believes that by sticking to her religion, she will go to Heaven. People saying to close the borders to immigrants and that she is not a true Canadian, nobody is. Everyone living in Canada had ancestors who immigrated from Europe. The only true Canadians I know of are the people who were already in Canada before the Europeans came. And if people want to rid Canada of immigrants, I think I'd like to leave by choice. Real Canadians are accepting of different cultures, religions and races. You don't have to like my opinion. You just have to hear it and open your mind to different points of views. My family came from Egypt. They wanted to give my siblings and I our best chance. They wanted us to get a proper education. They wanted us to be safe. Now that people aren't accepting of us, we aren't safe. Ever heard of the Chapel Hill shooting? The murderer wasn't accepting of Islam and look what happened to them. They're gone. If you're not happy with immigrants, don't show it. Keep your feelings in. Bottle them up because if they come out, there will be consequences. Maybe if you keep them bottled up, they'll change. If they change to the better, let them go. If they change to the worse, keep them in.

January 25

Tomorrow is the day.
Let me take you back to a time we call the Egyptian Revolution.
There we were. All religions together as Egyptians fighting for our freedom. Fighting to get rid of the one force of evil we knew at the time, Hosni Mubarak. The streets of Egypt filled with Egyptians who just wanted their freedom. Hosni Mubarak had ruined their country enough for them. The Egyptians took it into their own hands, or should I say their own hand. They were one hand. They were one hand. They were together. Mubarak ordered the MILITARY to eliminate the people. Mubarak killed so many people just for power. He imprisoned his own people for wanting the best for their country. To this day, I have no idea how he was called "innocent". We finally got what we wanted February 14, 2011.  I was happy. Everyone was happy. They were still together as one. But this story didn't end at and they lived happily ever after.  There we were. Having our first proper election. Mohamed Morsi was voted as president. He was actually quite nice and we were happy... at first. The media insulted him. I have to admit, Morsi didn't do as much as we wanted. The people were blinded by the media. The military stepped in and got rid of him. Nope. Still no happily ever after. El-Sisi made people believe that he was like a much loved but horrible previous president, Gamal Abdel Nasser. El-Sisi won that election. Now, anybody who says anything he disapproves of on TV or even on social media, they're in great danger. Today, we aren't one hand. We constantly blame each other for things El-Sisi and his military have done. I passionately hate you, El-Sisi. Arrest me, I'm saying my opinion. You are a brainwashing maniac. You are a greedy power seeking man. I hate you and if you were in front of me right now, I would gladly kick your butt. I hate you will all my heart. You could've gained the proper kind of trust from the people. You could've actually been the one president who didn't make major mistakes! Instead, you chose to do the exact thing we were fighting for back in 2011. We wanted freedom of speech. We lost that. We wanted a fair leader. We never even got much of that either. It's you greedy villains who are destroying what we used to call a country. You know what you are? You are evil. I can't believe anyone actually likes you.
