Why you should visit Albania

I’ve been living in a new country for more than 6 months away from my home and I have been thinking for a while about writing this note but what stopped me is that I couldn’t decide on the top 5 reasons to visit this amazing country but now I’ve decided to be selfish and choose my personal favourite reasons and not the reasons that may please everyone.

So Ladies and Gentlemen, these are, from my own experience, my top 5 reasons why everybody should visit Albania at least once in their lives:

•           Cheap: Compared to a lot of countries and especially if you are just being a tourist and not living in the country for a long period, Albania is one of the cheapest destinations you can choose, and you keep all the good things you aim to find. From cheap hostels, to cheap flats to rent and cheap basic living expenses, as a tourist you can spend way less than you would in other countries and still have the same things and same fun. One of the things most tourists will look for is cheap bars, there are a lot of cheap bars in Albania, there is one where you can get a shot of tequila for less than a euro), and these bars aren’t shady but actually full of young beautiful people.
•           Beautiful: Albania is a small country however it is one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever visited. With snow in the north (in winter) and the wonderful mountains, to the green places wherever you go and to the amazing beaches such as Dhermi and Jal (my personal paradise) add to that a pretty modern capital with headquarters of companies, embassies etc.. And the cherry on the top of the cake is the amazing Mediterranean weather. Albania has amazing places to visit during all seasons and for me that makes it an amazing country. I shouldn’t forget that Albania has an interesting history so you can always go visit museums, bunkers and old castles.
•           Open and accepting: You can be a Muslim, Christian or Jewish and wear whatever represents your religion. You can pray in peace in churches and mosques you can find wherever you go. Religions live in harmony in Albania and what greater example to show this than the Pope visiting Albania and being welcomed by Christians but also Muslims even the Imams (for those who do not know what an Imam is, he is like priests in Christianity, they teach the religion (well more they preach) and lead the prayers). You can also be an Atheist, a deist or agnostic and you tell it to most people you know and nobody will judge you based on what you believe or at least that was the case for me since I got here.
•           The People: You are in the Balkans so you know you’re in for a treat, especially if you are a guy looking for beautiful Ladies. Albanian women are really pretty (especially the ones I met outside of my work space). It gets tiring after a while with all the pretty faces and the perfect bodies you see everywhere you go. It is like they do it on purpose. I promise every guy who visits Albania especially during summer, a ticket to crazy land because of all the hot girls around. Second part about the people won’t be about beauty but about the other qualities. All Albanians I met outside of work (because relations there are mainly professional) are probably the nicest people I’ve ever met. From people trying to help you in even the smallest, most basic things you are trying to do to people taking you around the country to discover it for nothing in return. The best time I have had in Albania since I got here is a weekend in the south in a paradise called “Jal”, we actually were invited by friends we met a week or so before and they even drove us with their personal car. Also I will never forget how nice the old lady who works at the bakery close to my house. The smile she has on her face and the nice words she says to you every time you buy something from there even by buying three buns of bread which costs 30 lek (around 20 cents), she actually makes you feel you are doing her a favour while she is. Every time you buy something from her bakery, you can’t help but leave with a smile on your face and your mood becoming nice even if you had the worst day ever.
•           Stop the stereotypes: We’ve all seen taken, probably also “let’s be cops” and fewer people watched second season of Transporter: the series, but we all know that Albanians are pictured in Hollywood and recently series form UK as these aggressive criminal brutes with nothing going on in their country but drug dealing, murder and kidnapping. However, and from a personal experience Albania has been welcoming, calm and interesting country where people live a normal life. It is true that the way people drive here is insane, probably the history of the country also makes it seem unstable and there are occasional problems between specific groups of people, but that doesn’t make it a dangerous country. We all know countries where people die daily, but they are still the dream destinations for most of the people, especially youth.

Not to forget also, the special and unique traditions, the badass flag, the strong “Raki”, the fact that in Tirana everything can be reached by foot, and the fact that buses come every, maximum, 10 minutes and they take you everywhere, for the same cheap price if you get down in one stop or if you go until last stop, and plenty of other things.

To sum up everything, I have to say that as every country in the world, Albania may have some problems and issues, but more than a lot of countries it has a variety of things to be discovered and loved!

And once you visit it, you will leave saying: “Faleminderit, Shqipëria”

Why women should forgive men when they try to cheat

If serious relationships are hard to make and harder to keep, imagine relationships built on mutual love, it is kind of impossible.

In this not we will suppose that the woman loves her man and he loves her back. If your man doesn’t love you and he cheats or tries to cheat and/or you don’t love him, don’t forgive him! Break up with him and go search for something else.

You may say if a man loves his woman he will never try to cheat on her, not even think about it. Well, in this note I will give you the reasons causing a man to cheat and if you and if you think one of the reasons or more are present in your relationship, you have to forgive him for trying to cheat.

So here are 5 reasons why women should forgive men when they try to cheat:

•           Sexual or emotional Satisfaction: If you are thinking about preserving your virginity till your marriage, or you think emotional relationships are overrated. Well honey, don’t wait for your man to adapt to your opinion! Especially when it comes to physical intercourses. It is hard, even impossible for a man who tried sex before to stop thinking about it and doing it for a long time. Emotional part is important for the man, when a man is in a mutual love relationship he is usually romantic and he waits for the other half to be the same. Men want to have the same love relationships they see by mistake in movies.
•           A change is needed: If the relationship gets to the point where you have routine, a change is needed. You can try new things as a couple, do new stuff, enjoy new games, and do new challenges. If you don’t change anything or when he tries to change some stuff you say no, he will start feeling imprisoned. Men tend to get bored easily, do something. If a change doesn’t happen in the relationship, the man will start looking away for stuff to stop the feeling of boredom he has. Cheating is always the best solution.
•           The heart loves you, other parts not always: A man doesn’t always use his mind and less than that the left part where you have emotions like love. A man rarely thinks, he is always haunted by his physical needs so even if he loves you sometimes he can’t control his body especially when he loses control of his mind by substance or alcohol use. Don’t judge us, we are closer to animals than you think.
•           Guilt caused by personal reflection: It is something a man usually does after every act he makes, and if your man really loves you, he will, after the act of cheating or even the attempt, feel guilty as hell and think about you more and more. The time he will spend thinking will eat him from inside. However, you need to confront him with his acts, else he will get cocky by thinking he got away with his actions and the feeling of pride and happiness will cover the guilt he feels. Confront him with his actions, that will only leave him with the feeling of guilt and that will torture him enough. Then you can forgive him because he went through a lot.
•           Ruining beautiful things: If you have something unique and special, if your relationship was so amazing why ruin it? If he is sorry for his actions and he still loves you truly, why fuck up everything and then leave in regret for the rest of your life? We ruin stuff and then regret it. Give a second chance, everybody deserves one even a cheating filthy son of a bitch (sorry for the words, I hate cheaters). Don’t leave in regret, try it again and if it doesn’t work leave him.  It is always better to regret something you did, then something you didn’t.

Men don’t deserve your trust but they do deserve your love. Women aren’t less cheating then men; actually a study has shown that women cheat on serious relationships more than men do. However, if your man loves you and you are not a cheating girlfriend/wife, well talk to him, ask him about it and if he still loves you, give him a second chance, he will be better. Try to enjoy the good thing you have and don’t ruin them for some stupid act done in a stupid moment. Solve your problems together people.

Satisfy your man, and even if you sexually can’t, try to cover it by satisfying him otherwise because you really can make him forget that. He will not forget it, he will pretend he did, and he will make more efforts hide it and control it because you are giving him other stuff to think about. And that’s applicable with all the other needs, not only sexual ones.

Why You shouldn't join AIESEC

I've joined AIESEC since October 2011 and I loved it so much. Through these two years I've learnt so much and developed myself, my hard and soft skills and for sure learnt how to become a better leader. I became someone who thinks about others, and wants to improve himself, develop people around him and change his country for the best. However, if you know the good stuff about something you experienced you must as well know the bad stuff about it. So here are 5 reasons why you shouldn't join AIESEC:

•           Early into real work: You are still a student, one or two years in the university, or you maybe just joined it, and you find yourself already working for some organization, having a full time job, contacting enterprises and meeting CEOs, organizing professional events, managing people, leading a team through a certain period, being part of a team, doing plans and backup plans, thinking about how to use your resources in a perfect way. You will become a professional since a young age while you’re still in college.
•           Your CV will be hard to write: Usually, normal CVs don’t take more than two minutes to write and prepare, yours will take at least hours. After joining AIESEC, with all the experience you have, the skills you developed and the things you've done, you wouldn't be able to make them fit on a 2 page CV.  It will be so hard for you to list them all on a single CV, it is a hard task come on.
•           You’ll lose all prejudges you have: You have prejudged a certain race, certain country or certain region? In AIESEC, you will lose them all. You will meet a lot of new people from different countries, different races and different regions in national or international conferences. You will visit a lot of new countries and get to know their true culture. You will have friends there, and by that you will lose everything bad you have in mind about them because you will know them for what they truly are. You will finally figure out that you were wrong and end up changing your mind about the world.
•           Your contact list will be too damn long: Networking is one of the most important things in AIESEC. You will have a huge network of professionals you worked with on events, you will have a network of friends you met on conferences and people you engaged by AIESEC activities. So you will have a lot of visit cards and you will a hard time organizing your contact list and that will drive you crazy.
•           You will grow mature and join a cause: You are still young; you want to have fun, party and live your life to the fullest. You can’t believe that you will be wearing a suit and tie and going to important meetings. You are still young for big causes and that complicated stuff. In AIESEC, you will learn the value of volunteering, you’ll be part of a non for profit organization and will work for free, you will start believing in a certain cause, defending it and actually fighting for it. You will try to change the world and achieve peace.

The thing about AIESEC is that once you join it you go to a completely new level. You change your mindset, you will join a professional world, you will experience leadership in every action you make, and you will become an entrepreneur and have the chance to develop yourself in a Global Learning Environment.

You will change lives, impact society, help people, join a cause, develop skills, become a Leader, get to be an entrepreneur, become better and seek the best for the world, for your country, for people around you and for yourself. You will become a Change Agent.

So what is your excuse not to join this magnificent world?

Why I write about love even if I don’t feel it

I started writing since I was 11 or 12 years old, I write articles, notes, poems and small stories. I started writing in Arabic and during my high school years I switched completely to English. It has been almost 10 years that I write frequently and I stop writing rarely and that happens when I lack completely of inspiration. During these 10 years, I won two prizes for my Arabic poems and got the recognition of anyone who read my writings: teachers, friends, family, writers…

During these 10 years, 75% of what I write was about love even if I almost don’t have feeling, and I've never loved once in my entire existence. So here are five reasons why I write about love even if I don’t feel it:

•           It is beautiful: You have to admit that everyone loves love and think it is cute to love and to be loved and some wise man once said: “Talk to people in their own language”. The notes I write about my life, my troubles, my mistakes and what I endure every day I leave them for me. When I share something with people I have to make sure they like it and may actually care about it. So I write about love because it is beautiful, it is amazing and it interests people.
•           It is good to lie sometimes: We are sick of our reality, sick of the stupidity of people, of the endless problems and the strange things that happen every day. So yes, writing is my shelter, I run to it every time I am fed up with this life and the reality of things, and what’s the use of running from life to writing if you’re going to write about life and about the reality? So I don’t write about life, I prefer to escape and go deep into my imagination and I write about things that never happened, a love that I've never felt, a lover that I've never met and stuff that I've never witnessed. It’s good to lie sometimes it sets you free, it gives you the opportunity to live in ideal worlds better than the one we live in.
•           Being wanted instead of being seen as a play boy: Yes, I do have the reputation of a player, which, if you ask me, has nothing to do with the truth. I stopped being the play boy and heart breaker years ago. I am now a gentleman. However, it seems that you can never escape your past no matter how hard you try and change, so people still see me as a player and that’s unfortunate because I am a good guy now. So I write about love and feelings. I sound really in love and full of emotions, I almost look heartbroken and on the edge of giving up life because of a lost love and sometimes being able to sacrifice my existence for the happiness of the loved one. All of this makes me the total opposite of the heartless douche bag, they think I am. It makes me look romantic and sensitive. It makes me look like the guy who treats a girl he loves like a princess, the guy who knows how to love a Lady, how to respect a queen and worship a goddess. So girls think that I have a lucky lover and they envy her for all the things I write about and for her and all the love I have for her and that doesn't only make wanted among girls, it also makes me a challenge.
•           Lack of emotions: It may seem so not true to you but in my life I don’t have too many emotions. I am not an emotional guy, it is rare for me to feel happy or glad or excited and it is impossible for me to feel love. The only kind of emotions I get is the bad ones, it happens that I feel mad, angry, fed up and bored and it is rare for me to feel sad. However, even this kind of emotions doesn't happen often. So whenever I get any of them I focus on it and turn it into something good so even when I am angry, bored or even sad I turn this feeling into a beautiful thing and instead of writing about dark stuff I write about cute stuff that people like, so I write about Love.
•           Something is missing: It is obvious after all that you read in this note so far that love is missing in my life. Hell, it is the only thing that I haven’t experienced yet. I’ve never felt it and don’t think I will be feeling it ever, at least not soon. So yes, I write about the thing I never experienced. Don’t we all think too much about the things we don’t have and imagine how would our lives be if we had them? Yes we do, and that’s why I write a lot about love, in order to imagine it and imagine what would I do and how would the life be if I had it. I write about love because I love imagination, and it wouldn't be imagining things if I wrote about something I do have. I write about love because it is good to lie as long as you are not hurting anyone. I write about love because as long as I don’t feel it, I have nowhere else to live it but within my writings.

It may seem a lie to some of you and it may seem pathetic to the others but it is only the truth to me. I write about love because I like to and because I enjoy it and if you think that everything I told in my other notes is nothing but a lie I have to tell you that it is not because I am sure I will be doing and feeling the same things I wrote about and even more once I meet the girl that will make me finally fall in love. I just haven’t found her yet, maybe I met her already but haven’t discovered her yet.

                                                                              With any kind of emotions I may get.

                                                                                                   W.H

Why you should treat women nicely

Contrarily to what you think, this is not the second part of why you should say nice words to women! The first one was made in the month “Anti Women” and this one is written from the heart with love. We hear all the time that women are all the same, that they don’t deserve neither our love nor our respect, that when you give them your love they just give it away, that they are never sure of what they do and they are trouble makers, but the truth is that men have the same defects, the same flaws and even worse than women. So here are 5 reasons why you should treat women nicely.

•           They are the reason you are alive: We all know that without women we wouldn’t exist, you may say and without men women wouldn’t exist. That’s true but who suffers more when giving birth to a baby? All we, men, do is watch them suffer giving birth to beautiful creatures and we don’t feel any suffering. I am sure that if we were the ones to endure that kind of pain to give birth to children we would say, and that’s the case at least for me: “Fuck children, who needs them anyway?” and life on earth would’ve stopped long time ago. Good choice on this one Lord.
•           They are the most beautiful thing on earth: I’ve seen the nature in its most beautiful images, been everywhere and I’ve never been attracted to a something beautiful as much as I am always attracted to women beauty. Beauty in all its ways can be found when you look at a woman and listen to her; the beauty of her eyes, her lips, her body and her voice…
•           They bring drama to our lives: This may seem strange to you but it is something w should thank women for. I truly believe in the two sayings: “You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness” and “We are addicted to pain, stress and drama”. What would life be if everything was nice and amazing? What would life be without few mistakes, some troubles and some drama, sadness and pain? It would be without colors, unbearable and tasteless.
•           They bring joy to our lives: Women are the reason why we are happy! I know they are not always the reason because football, beer and video games make us happy, however you will be a lot more happy if you share these moments with a woman and you know that it is true, who doesn’t want to have a woman who love football, supports his favorite team, drinks beer with him and tries to beat him on Fifa? They make us laugh with their stupid actions; hugging them and kissing them make you feel pure happiness.
•           They make us what we are: What are we without women? What is the life without them? Who will make us fall in love? Who will make us feel jealous? To be possessive or protective? Who will drive us crazy? Who will make us be men? Who will make us beautiful? Who will give us a reason to exist? Who will be the beauty in this life?

Women are too precious to be left alone, too beautiful to be hated, too fragile to be played with...

Women you are amazing, just the way you are, keep on being You; Keep on being Women.

We love you; at least, I know I do.

Why you should wish sarah mabkhout a happy birthday

I’ve never been good at saying nice people to the people I love, I find it hard because saying the things we feel only makes them without a meaning and kind of cheap. So I have been always insulting the people close to me and only telling them their defects and flaws because I believe that my love for them should appear in my actions not in my words. However, tonight I am making an exception for the birthday of a little Lady who is so important to me. So here are five reasons why you should wish a happy birthday to Sarah Mabkhout:

•           She is ugly: Come on guys, it is already hard for her to be ugly… The Lord wants us to be kind with each other and try to help each other. She has always been ugly, I guess since the day she was born (I saw a picture of her when she was 2 years old and I can assure you she has always been that way) and the problem is that not only is she ugly but she just started wearing braces and believe me… It is hell… Be nice to her; help her cope with this amount of ugliness.
•           She is lonely: nobody loves her and that’s a fact. Well, to not exaggerate let’s say, there are only two or three people who love her, the rest just can’t stand the idea that she exists. It is a hard thing to live with, and we still don’t know the reason why people hate her. Come on she is not that bad. So let’s try to be nice to her once, and not let her live her birthday alone AGAIN and let’s wish her a happy birthday.
•           She is only 16 or 17 years old: It is so hard for young children to be hated by everyone, feel lonely and be ugly at the same time. This could lead this child to commit suicide and we don’t want that. Well some of us do but hey… That’s not a good thing. We don’t want more suicides in these times after all she can improve, there are a lot of solutions like plastic surgeries for example. So people let’s be kind and make her smile for the first time in her life. Save the childhood. :p
•           She is Stupid: I’ve met a lot of stupid people, so I am used to dealing with them. However, this girl makes me feel that I’ve never dealt with stupid people before. She is blonde, only in her way of thinking and acting, no physical detail linked to blondes :p. She has a way of making you believe that you are talking to the most retarded person on earth. So by wishing her a happy birthday, you can make her easily believe that she is loved by everyone, even if you are obviously lying.
•           She is Innocent: Yes, we say that the saying: “the real beauty is the beauty of the soul”, was created by ugly people and that’s probably true. However, with this Lady, you have to look for the beauty of the soul (because obviously you have nothing else to stare at :p), she tries to look smart and to make us believe she is intelligent, when the truth is that she is stupid and so innocent that even when she tries to look or act the opposite way she can’t. That beautiful soul, that innocence, that big heart and the amazing person she is, is what makes me try to be nice for once in my life.

Yes, she has pretty much all the flaws and defects known to a man, however in a strange way she is awesome. Her Flaws and defects are combined in a way that makes her personality attractive when you get to know her. She is an amazing person to be with, a trust worthy friend, and a nice person to know, that’s what pushed me to write a message about her in my personal blog.

Keep shining little Lady, best wishes for your birthday. May the Lord make all your wishes come true and help you cope with your miserable existence :p, Don’t hate me for telling the truth!

Why You should spread the smiles

We live in a crazy world, ugly life and tough days. We are addicted to pain, stress and drama. Our existence is about sadness and troubles, and as soon as we grow up a little bit and start to think we forget how to enjoy the small things and how to be happy until we forget how to smile, how to laugh. So here are five reasons why you should always smile:

•           It is pretty: We can’t deny this, everyone does know it. People are a lot prettier when they are smiling. I didn’t see a sad person or an angry human being who looked more beautiful than he does when he is smiling. Smile for beauty, smile it is charming!
•           It is healthy: A lot of researchers confirmed that smiling is healthy; it can prevent us from a lot of illnesses especially the mental illnesses. Smiling actually can increase the days we are estimated to live. So why kill ourselves slowly, when we have the key to immortality?
•           It is international: Smiles are the international language, who can’t understand what you mean when you smile? It means you are happy, it means you are in love, it means you are satisfied, it means you are proud and it means you see hope. Who doesn’t love the smile? Who doesn’t talk with smiles? It is an international way of communicating.
•           It is a mood changer: Actually, and I am talking from experience, when you start your day with a smile everything will go smoothly and you will be happy all the day. When you start your day with a smile, you will keep on smiling whatever happens to you and that helps you cope with the situation and find better solutions. Actually when you face troubles with a smile, they will go away because you will not complicate your life and you will try to get the best solution.
•           It is contagious: Smiles are contagious; if you smile to someone he will smile back to you. If someone is feeling bad or sad and you smile to him, it may change his mood and make him feel a little bit better, because people are there for him. If you smile at people more often, people will love you a lot more. If you keep smiling, people will always smile when they see you. If you keep smiling, you will spread the smiles all over the places you will go, you will give the people a good thing to see on your face. You will work more and help people around you be more productive. You will have a reason to live for, which is making people smile and what a noble cause you will live for. You will give people hope, that they can be happy and that life is nothing but a small journey where we need to be happy.

Smiling is the best thing to do in your life; it influences your daily decisions and your daily mood, in a good way. Smiling can help you live longer and better. Smiling can influence people around you. By smiling you spread love and peace.
