  4. Nominate any number of people, linking to their blogs and let them know you nominated them by commenting on their blogs.
  5. Come up with 7 questions for the people you nominated.

Mel’s Questions and Related Answers:

1- What is the coolest thing you’ve ever done?
I believe cool can change from time to time and from person to person, some consider tattoos are cool, other think they’re ugly!
So tell me what you consider cool and I will tell you if I did it 😊 Parasailing?
Stealing fruits from the monks and jumping from very high places to run from them?
Climbing trees?
Representing my country abroad to defend refugees rights that were in Lebanon at the time (not now), while my freedom was threatened by the general security.
Is that cool? 😊

Probably when I ran after the thief that snatches my handbag from my hand? Don’t know if it’s cool or crazy actually 😊
I was coming back from work, it was winter and dark and I was tired holding my handbag in my right hand with a small bag I put some stuff like CDs, USBs, Tupperware, etc…he snatched both and he was on a scooter.
I stood out for probably 2 seconds where I realized that all my life in these 2 bags! So I started to run after him, then he stopped! It was so dark I couldn’t see anything but I kept moving towards him do he throw the bag in my face, and drove away, but I need my handbag so I kept running after him like crazy, he disappeared. I was back and I called the Internal Forces (that they never showed up) and while speaking with them, I saw the handbag on the floor! Yes he was trying to retrieve it from the floor this is why he stopped. I took my handbag, it was torn because he stepped on it while running but nothing is missing, then I searched for the items he throw on my face, CDs, USBs…all this and no one stopped to ask me what’s wrong…the military is less than 100 meters!  Gathered my stuff and went home silently.

2- What is the nicest thing you’ve ever done?
I don’t like to mention that actually 🙂 I did a lot of nice things, more than I can count! I like to be kind and provide help when needed. But what I can mention is so simple, I smile often and sometimes I make people’s day! 😊

3- What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
Walking between the landmines and a sniper is waiting to shoot you, is that counts?
Driving recklessly and almost being crashed by many trucks.
Hitting a car driving so slowly on the left side of the highway and refused to move and continued my way! The car just stopped no accident was caused, glad I didn’t hit harder! Not proud of this one though, it’s not me but I lost my mind.

4- What is your best feature as a person?
Honest and very loyal.
Is it physical? They say my eyes and smile, I don’t know 🙂

5- What is the best thing your blog can offer to readers?
Genuine feelings and honesty, words from the heart and inspiration I hope. 

6- What is summer means to you?
Seeing the sun more often which affects my entire mood,  joy and fun and vacation!
We have a Lebanese proverb: “If summer had a mother, she would have wept it!” (when it’s gone) لو الصيف إلو إم كانت بتبكي عليه

7- What is coastal means to you?
A border between 2 different worlds.
Usually the way I imagine it makes me feel peaceful and serenity.

My Questions: I will use Mel’s question, they are original.

    For someone thin, you are a complete nutcase and courageous. Ahma chi Tupperware ma ydi3, aw se3ta ma btekhlaseh min omek. For lebanese moms, allah la yredna bas mohem sohet Tupperware

      3. Thank you for the salemtek part =) the remaining post is mean, and brutal reality slap, i literally had tears in my eyes when you mentioned kastana, wine and chemine. I can never live in Beirut, cannot stand it (the only good things night life wl shopping) fa allah y3inik

      4. 🥺🥺🥺 didn’t mean it as brutal
        This is the idol night for me
        Hatta manni fan la night life wala shopping haha
        Yalla kheir what to do 🙄

  8. Neat? You? Oh common now….😒
    Just kidding 🤩
    I love Mel’s creativity! She does a lot of wonderful things! I wish I could be creative 🧐 but I’m not able not even to wrap a present nicely 😟
    Parasailing is definitely cool! Too scary for me though 😙
    Stealing fruits from the monks? Oh damn yes 🤪🤪🤪🤪 Jumping from high places is a little bit tricky but well worth it I guess 🤪🤪
    Climbing trees I used to do it too and I loved it! You feel like your on top of the world 😝😝😝 That’s cool 😎🤩
    Representing your country in defending refugees rights is more than cool! Is kindness! And you are a very kind person! 🤗🤗🤗
    Running after the thief was courage more than cool! Luckily you had your bags back! Waiting for the police or military when you need them you can wait and they will never show up….sometimes you need to make your own justice! Which is very sad as you never know with whom are you dealing…I’m glad you are ok and nothing worst happened! Definitely was a very bad experience!
    Smiling and making people’s day is priceless! As I said, you are a very kind and nice person 🤗🤗🤗🤗
    Driving recklessly, we know that you’re a fast & furious by now and nobody wants to be your passenger, but walking between the landmines and a sniper is waiting to shoot you? Seriously? This is craziness!
    I’ve told you, you are a rare person, not from this world of course, kindness and loyalty are very rare! Then a kind a loyal person that smiles too? Well, I might think we have discovered what perfect means 🤗🤗
    Your words from the heart do inspires us my dear! Genuine feelings are always welcomed 💕🤗
    Summer? Oh well, I’m living in Singapore because I wanted always summer 🤩☀️ 🌞
    Nice proverb though 🤗😉
    Oh, these pictures just looking at them brings me peace and joy at the same time 😉🤗
    Thank you for the nomination dear Huguette! I’m glad you consider my blog neat 😉🤗
    Wish you a wonderful weekend! 🤗🤗🌸💕💕🤩🤩

    1. 😂😂😂
      Not creative too, I’m only good with words 😌
      Parasailing is great you should really try it! You will have a great feeling, guaranteed 👌
      Hahahahah the evil monks! We did wonders to them 😂😂 we were devils!
      Oh yes climbing trees is so cool! 😁
      I didn’t know what fits cool, what crazy and what is kind I guess hahah I love human rights work, too bad I had to leave
      Thank you for the kindness dear 🤗🤗
      I’m the stupid courageous kind but I hate negative people so much! It can get me killed but better than being an ass and coward! 🙄🙄🙄
      They say I change 180 degrees when I smile so I try to smile often 😁😁 because usually I walk frowning, I scare people 😂😂
      You didn’t read my Flashback posts? We had to walk to reach our house between landmines and there were snipers all over the buildings, they shot people randomly
      Oh your blog is very neat and I must give you some homework to do hahah
      Thank you Riby for visiting and for this lovely and amazing comment and compliments that made me blushing ☺️ despite it’s the weekend and relaxing time for you 🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕

      1. Good morning my dear Huguette! I have a quick homework for you this morning https://popsiclesociety.com/2019/07/22/azqcueu2-a-to-z-quotes-cue-you-too-topic-society/
        Just a quick one if you would like to participate 🙂
        Well, I guess we cannot have them all right? Being good with words, being able to express yourself is wonderful 🙂
        Maybe one day I’ll try parasailing! I’m sure the adrenaline is there but I think a little bit too scary for me 🙂 I take all the scary rides when I go to the theme parks though 🙂
        Not too late to do something about your human rights job…never say never 🙂 you can do something on your own 🙂
        You are cool, courageous, kind and crazy at the same time 🤗🤗 but try to don’t get yourself killed 🙄🙄🙄
        Every time I’m walking frowning I remember than probably I’m not pretty so I should better smile 😂😂 Smile my dear! Your smile makes wonders 🙂
        I have read several posts of yours…but probably I need to go back and re-read…I think my memory is trying to cancel all the sad things it happens to see or read…not an excuse though 🙄🙄🙄
        Received the homework 🙂
        I hope your weekend was great and wish you a good start of the week 🤗🤗💕💕

      2. Mother of challenges😂😂 what’s that?
        I will check it, quick? I need to do it now you mean?
        Never say never, yes indeed I just need to find myself again and my passions…they are a bit lost
        Thank you for saying such great words about me, I started to fly from my chair 😂😂
        staying alive is not actually guaranteed but I was never afraid anyway 😊
        To be honest, sometimes smiling to everyone is not so good, it’s misunderstood, so I control it a bit, people are so desperate that they mix respect with flirting and other stuff (happen here the entire time)
        don’t worry they are very old posts, I will revive them and re-post them someday
        You will try parasailing and other things when you feel you’re ready 🙂
        have a great week ahead and let me check this weird challenge hahaha😂😂🤗🤗💕💕

      3. You did it 🙂 Thank you 🙂
        Oh yes, Rory is always creative with new challenges 🙂
        I believe you will know when the time will come, what and how you want to do it…sometimes I feel lost too because I want to do so many things and I don’t have time and I don’t know which way to go….when this happens I try to calm down, relax and let the time decide…something will happen that will make me take a way 🙂
        See? “staying alive is not actually guaranteed but I was never afraid anyway “, this is a mix of cool, courageous, kind and crazy at the same time 🤗
        I know what you mean, people sometimes are so stupid :(…sorry, but I needed to say it….you want to be kind and they re-interpret it in a wrong way…sgh…
        please do it and maybe at the same time put it also in a book 🙂
        Yes, I think everything has it’s time…:)
        Have a wonderful week my dear 🤗🤗💕💕

      4. Yes I know what you mean, sometimes we just need to wait and calm down and what it’s meant to be, will happen 🙂
        😁😁 thank you Riby ❤ ❤
        you have no idea how stupid they are! you don’t need to be sorry at all! Last time I was kind to some man and held the elevator door because he was carrying stuff, he wanted to marry me! hahha Well, it would be kind if it was mutual 😁😁 And many other stories…
        I will try to re-post when I’m away and no time for writing (the book, well I still don’t know especially the language thing :/)
        enjoy your week that will pass so fast as usually 😁😁
        🤗🤗💕💕

      5. Marry you? So fast and for so little? 😁😁
        Oh well, mans nowadays….:)
        Yes, sometimes I feel the language is a barrier for me too….but definitely not for you 🙂
        Time, time, time…time always decide for us 🙂
        🤗🤗💕💕

      6. 😁😁 desperate people! Men here are mostly retarded despite the level of education we have for some
        I just think I’m way better in Arabic but I don’t feel like writing in Arabic that’s it 🙂 you’re very good in English! come on now! (me shouting) 😁😁
        🤗🤗💕💕

      7. I believe depends also of the way they were used to…sometimes with or without education, family is able to wash your brain away and make you become one of the “society”…Oh well, better stay away from them..ahahah
        I believe all languages have words that cannot be translated or cannot find the exact translation to express exactly the meaning of it…
        ok, ok, let’s not forget that we are both self-learning 😁😁
        🤗🤗💕💕

      8. Yes of course I agree with the family thing and religion mostly !! Brainwash at its best
        Forever alone 😁 oh well
        So find your language and you’ll do better than me 😊
        We are constant learners that’s for sure 😊😊🤗🤗💕💕😂

      9. Never say never Huguette 🙂 Forever is a big word 🙂
        Yes right! I would never be able to do better than you! You are the mother of writing and expression, did you forget it? 🙂
        True, constant learners 🙂 and I think is good, we never get bored :)😂😊😊🤗🤗💕💕😂

      10. Well forever can be tomorrow 🙂 Not so big after all 😀
        thank you for the support dear ❤ I guess I’m okay hahah
        I’m bored 😂 I just want to travel and have fun now, 😂😂 I don’t want to learn a shit (me some days)
        have a great Tuesday 🤗🤗💕💕

      11. Girls wants to have fun and travel 🙂 That’s it! Very simple, right?
        Me either, sometimes I’m done with learning but then I do it without even knowing it…ahahha😂

    1. Thank you dear Lillian 😊 glad you do! appreciate your time to read and you’re most welcome! don’t worry, no deadlines, take your time and enjoy your vacation for now ❤️

  13. Wow you have a good heart, and a brave heart! Coolest person ever. I admire you for not sharing the good things you’ve done to people, I bet you’ve done a lot. But to choose to keep it to yourself is humility. Girl you are feisty with your driving huh. Please be safe always. And what you’ve done for the refugee is really cool. I can’t think any cool thing I’ve done in my life lol.

    1. Thank you AL for these lovely words 😊 I feel silly to say I did this and that, I believe in a saying so much: don’t let your left hand knows what your right hand did… we are weak people and sometimes we want to brag but we shouldn’t
      I’m crazy sometimes even though I regret doing some things especially while driving
      So happy you loved the post and appreciate all the kind and lovely words you said about me 🙏🏻😊 thank you for finding time to read 😊

  14. You are a mix of craziness and maturity.. The handbag story.. not cool but courageous… You showed up the courage and got your bag back ,
    You love speeding with cars and doing crazy things 🙂 and the question.. Best Thing your blog can offer your readers.. you forget about fun and hilarious gifs…

    1. Yes right, very mature but crazy haha
      Brave certainly it’s something I cannot help it actually, I have negativity and ordinary
      Well I always count on my readers to answer the questions better than me so thank you dear Sohanpreet for this 😊🙏🏻💕
