13 Awesome Ads!

I’m no marketing expert, just a regular consumer. And when I come across very smart ads, I feel like sharing them with people.

Well, these are thirteen ads that I think are absolutely kick-ass! Let me know what you think.

Mac OS X – Lion Wallpapers

The thing I like about the wallpapers bundled in the Mac Operating System is that they are all soothing and actually very nice to look at. And the new ones bundled with the upcoming update to the famous OS X are no different.

Check them out:

My favorites are: Brittle Grass (last one), Lake (the one below the Lion picture) and Lion (self explanatory).

If you like the pictures, you can get them in full quality here.

Pictures From The March 13th Protest

These are the pictures I took of the protest. This post will be updated when my friend sends me the pictures he took with this professional camera.

If you’re wondering why I decided to participate, you can check out my reasons here.

Pictures From The Japan Earthquake

Japan was hit with an earthquake of magnitude 8.9 on the Richter scale. It’s the worst earthquake to hit the country in 140 years and the 7th worst earthquake in history.

Check out these pictures from the devastation in Japan. And just let me say, I can only imagine the damage this would have done in a less prepared country. Our thoughts go to every Japanese today.

There Goes My Heart… Home

We all know how it feels to be home… you’re too comfortable being there, you’re yourself there… But you know what feels even better than being home? Going home after a long absence.

I belong in Batroun. I am from the North and my heart will always go there. Driving around my hometown, Ebrine, in the Batroun Caza, I snapped these pictures.

When I wake up and open the blinds, this is the first thing I see:

And if I feel like going to sightsee, I don’t need to wander off a lot… these are a few scenes that await me after a few minutes of walking.
And whenever I feel like I want to be alone, I can simply drive down to a very old church, dating back to the 1400s. This is St. Charbel (the Lebanese saint took his name).

My hometown also harbors the mother Convent for Sainte Famille. We all know people who have been to their schools and there are two streets, one in Tripoli and one in Beirut, named after my hometown because they have Sainte Famille convents on them.

And if I feel like visiting my grandma, I pass by a canopy of trees and beautiful olive tree fields…

And if you ever feel hungry, Royal’s Pizza in Batroun offers the best pizza in Lebanon. And trust me, I have tried many, many pizzas. Nothing will ever come close.
