Sorry for the late post!!!!!!!!!! hope you like it though, x
I admired the sign for a minute until we passed it, there was lots of traffic as usual. In Bekaa There isn't a single traffic light to keep the road organized on the way to our house. I seriously felt that am in Lebanon from the most annoying car horns on earth, driving there was a true chaos!
Driver: Yalla go out, you need the fresh air after a 2 hour road trip
We all were happy we're finally home!, Each beginning of each summer feels the same until we get there, everything feels better.
Mom: Serene , Sarah come we need a hand tacking the luggage inside
Serene: mama i swear I'm so tired
Mom: SERENE quick
Serene: Ok mom coming
We didn't have much to carry, A total of 4 bags and 1 hand bag. 2 big yellow bags for me and 2 pink ones for mom. The handbag was a louis vuitton full of shoes. They weren't that heavy but it was less work for the driver, afterall he's the most tired one between us. Shaheen is so sweet and nice to us , He's like a member in the family.
We rang the doorbell, We can see through the gate that no one is actually in the garden, teta(grandma) is still inside.
DING DONG...DING DONG
Marie: I'm comiing,
Marie is teta's personal nurse/maid, she's one of the family members too, teta would never ever give up on her she's very important in her everyday life. We all love her.
EEEEK... EEEEK, the lock was quite squeaky
Marie's english wasn't bad, but she tried her best when talking to one of us
Maarie: Ohhhhhhh Serene!! Madame Tamara,, You came to lebanon you don't tell me I'm very sad of you.
Mom: Hahaha marie, we wanted to keep it as a surprise for you , common aren't you happy
Marie: ofcourse me happy madame, I miss you very much!!
they hugged each other and Marie kept on complaining of course until we got to the door.
Between the enormous white and golden gate was kind of like a garden on a side and a TV room on the other with a bridge between them that takes us to the door of the house. On the porch in the garden is where teta sits with us and tells us stories, when drinking tea together. We are teta's favorite grand children, she enjoys her time a lot when we visit her or she visits us where we live.
Marie opened the door and Teta shouted; " who is it ya marie?"
Marie:" who you think?"
Teta" MARIE i don't want to think who came
Me and Mom barged into the living room and shouted
SURPRISE!!!
This teta was dad's mom, We stayed there most of the summer since all of our family sit there together. My uncles and dad built this house/ building together and decided to make it the house of the familia after grandpa passed away. The house is divided into 6 floors and a basement.
The 1st floor had the living room and the Eating table that had about 40 seats, the kitchen, The Huge plasma HD screen and the kitchen. Teta's room was in that floor too.
we didn't sit there often, the adults would stay there most of the time.
The 2nd , 3rd and 4th floor had 2 apartments per floor for each family which equals 6 apartments.
I have 5 uncles with my dad a total of 6 families.
Teta: Oh my dear serene and tamara, you're finally here my darlings, come here to teta serrene!!
I ran and hugged her soooo tight she told me to stop.
Everyone went to their apartments as we came in since there's an elevator next to the staircase for the nanies and one in the living room for teta and us. This time they took the one next to the kitchen to make it faster.
We greeted teta and mom chatted with her for 5 minutes.
teta: Saamah come take the bags to Mr. charbel apartment, 3rd floor!! Serene, Tamara this is our new nanny saamah she's been here only for 1 month.
Tamara/mom: really, how is she
teta: She's very nice and her work is very clean and organized
Mom: good good, Hopefully she will stay like this, now excuse us tant we're going to unpack and change.
Saamah took our bags to the 3rd floor where we live in the summer. The names of each of granny's sons is classified on the doors by a metal log and the apartments where divided in order of age, biggest where near teta and to the youngest on the 4th floor. This means that dad is the 4th one in the family because we were in apartment 3B.
we went in and I dragged my bags to my room. The view from my room isn't just beautiful, its a die for.
I can see the mountains very clearly and my window was right at the street. We lived with the rich families in the middle of Bekaa where people lived in villas and compounds.
I put my back pack on the couch and tossed my phone to my bed. I threw myself after it. This bed was as comfy as sleeping on a piece of sponge. If you go too hard there's a chance of bouncing on to the floor to break something unexpected.
I laid down and decided to nap in the wrong time, but I remembered the fortune cookie which gave me all the energy to run to unzip my bag and take it out.
I've never opened a fortune cookie before but once when it was my 15th birthday and I got it as a souvenir in the form of a gift from California from a very dear friend. It said that I will always be surrounded by those who love me, and i certainly have , thanks god.
Mom: Serene!!! Come down after me, everyone is gathered downstairs!! don't be late
Serene: Ok mom will do!
The cookie was all I had from Joe, anything or anytime I remember him my heart beats fasten.
I broke is in half and took out the paper, It clearly saiid:
"You will be graced by the presence of a loved one soon"
I smiled as I read it, I thought it would be my cousin who's coming from Canada soon. I just closed it and as soon as i put it in my Summer collective box, Mimo came in
Mariam: Serryl!! where are you, we're all waiting down there yalla
Serene: Haha am sorry I wasn't aware of the time
Mariam: You seriously haven't changed yet\!! Wear your training suit I'm waiting for you here.
Serene: Fine!, a sport chic one or anything
Mariam: wear something you can sit with visitors in incase.
Serene: Fine , what about this one?
I took out a Black BEBE training suit with crystals and swarovski on it, Its beautifull simple and classy.
Mariam: Perfect! wear it with a flat, did you bring your jelly ones like these? You told me you will wear them so that we would be alike.
Serene: hahahaha yeaa you reminded me!! Ok I will BRB Mimo
Mariam: take your time serryl
I changed and went out , grabbed my phone, and put some mascara and perfume then went down stairs.
It was very loud, it seemed like we had many visitors.

chapter 6
We wanted a table right on the side of the beach and we got it. We didn't wait for long but the smell of the hot bread and mashewe (BBQ) was killing us. The wind was playing going back and forth, it was chilly not hot nor cold it was just beautiful. The songs that were played were very traditional that it took us back 10 years. Fairouz the queen of Lebanese music as usual boosts our moods and relaxation.
we were very hungry our belly's where making weird noises. Our order was huge compared to our count but all we craved we ordered.
Our enormous order:
3 plates of mix bbq, 2 fatoush and 2 taboule (lebanese salads) , baba ghanouj (egg plants and herbs made into a dip mixed with olive oil.), 3 kinds of kebbeh( bulghur shell shaped like an American football, stuffed with a filling of spiced, minced lamb and fried until brown) , arayes lahme (spice mincemeat-filled oven-
1= 1 plate , these are both appetizers and main dishes.
The food came in order, we enjoyed our time to the max and of course silenced our hunger.
I love all kinds of our food, I can't mention a specific one! And this is one of our culture's unique qualities.
Sarah :" I can barley breathee uhhhhhh"
Ludy: " Well of course you can't you haven't closed your mouth from the time they put the water on the table."
Sarah : I was hungry wallah!"
we all laughed again at her face expressions, she seriously ate a lot but I just love her attitude, she does what pleases her and doesn't think about others. I'm the same, but when you have crazy cousins like mine you will try to stop this habit...
I was eating very slowly, just to enjoy the taste of everything and after I finished eating some tabouleh, ludy said she wanted to take pictures before we start the main dish.
Serryl look at me, said ludy
I smiled and all of my teeth were showing, It wasn't a fake smile but ALL OF THEM suddenly started laughing. I was so angry because no one wanted to tell me what was so funny.
after we finished they showed me the pictures.......
HEYYYY ITS NOT FUNNY OK!!! i shouted.
there was parsley on my front teeth and My pictures were hilarious!! If a stranger saw them he would go like "Hey everybody ! ugly Betty is in the place"
She refused to delete them, I was sooo mad because her camera was the samsung one so she can set a password for it.
Ludy: I'm gonna post it on instagram k? If you don't mind"
They all winked to each other and laughed.
Sereen: I swear if you do am gonna doo something wayyyy farther than your expectations!! I SWEAR!
SARA: OK OK SHE WILL DELETE THEM BUT YOU'LL INVITE US FOR DESSERT
sereen: Fine mrs. impress my belly 24/7.
All of us laughed and again, pissed her off but at least they deleted them LOL
-----
We drank some coffee and decided to go home.
Teta (grandma) was waiting for us , I Love her so much she's the world itself to me<3
Without her our summer in Lebanon wouldn't be as fun as it usually is.
" Ta ta ta ta tirash rash ti rash rash, Ti rash rash Ti rash rash Aywaaaa..." we were shouting...
The Volume was veryyyy loud!! and the windows where open, The summer breeze conquered my heart and complete soul.
We played random popular lebanese songs and one of them is Dakka almani, the one we were singing aloud for the whole time due to its length which is about 11 minutes long.
Us lebanese people have the same spirit, we love having fun and enjoying every second in every minute!!
When we stop at the red traffic light, the music gets louder, not because we raise the volume, but because the same song was played in all of the surrounding cars. Very loud we can throw a party in the middly of the road.
I saw the sign saying which told us that you're home!!
Welcome to Bekaa!! , Bienvenue à Bekaa , and اهلا بكم بلابقاع الجنوبي , I looked at the sign admiring it, and the smile reached my ears from joy.

Here's a little message to all of you out there..
1st of all,I'm so sorry haven't posted for so long but I'm having lots to do since the end of the year is getting closer.
This post is dedicated to the dearest French kid , Ream
In life you go through a lot of obstacles, heart breaks, traumas, devastation and so on..
If you're reading this you have hopefully survived up until this point in life.
The different phases of life and problems destroy us humans emotionally, and well sometimes due to the differently thinking minds out there ,,physically and mentally.
AND HERE YOU ARE, YOU ARE AWESOME!!:)
The most important things in life are countless because they differ. The most common things is "friends". Yes! Friends.
A Friendship is easy to make and easier to ruin and destroy!! My opinion may help you but it won't if you don't take a minute to review all of the things you did in any friendship you lost just because of a silly reason.
Everything I tell you about and advise you for, I've been through them all.
How it all starts..
With a smile, note, wink, laugh, joke, or embarrassing moments sometimes!! It's just so simple and to start a friendship you just need those baby steps like starting a convo, or saying hi or bye.
What takes to keep it...
HONESTY and LOYALTY.
Treat people the way you want to be treated, but watch your actions and words.
Don't lie, even though you're not a liar, it takes the simplest lie or two to lose the best thing that've happened to you.
Lies are easy to make up, and create but are easier to forget. You might become friends with the most professional detector on earth so be careful. Cus this kind of friends are as smart As Einstein and they don't miss anything.
I admit that I lied to my friend but my point was only to show her that ya we have many things in common but Oh No it's the worst thing I've ever did. The lie was pointless and very unnecessary, I told her I watched the hunger games when I only watched the trailer.
Now I'm not saying that we're all liars, it's just that people try their best to prove you wrong and themselves are always right in some cases, or they just misunderstand you. But I say they lose their trust in you and give you 2nd chances but you lose them without being aware of it.
In the end you know what you're doing and if ur mistaken or not. If people hate you for things you didn't expect them to hate you for... Apologize before its too late.
You know the song aplologize for one republic. :P
"It's too late to apologize,,,it's too late
I said its too late to apologize,, it's too late ."
If they didn't accept it, you will find that it's necessary to let to; simply for the reason that they are heavy..
Show them that you don't have time to worry about your haters cus you're too busy loving the ones who love you.
But crying yourself to sleep isn't worth it, it's a wound that'll close over time burin other cases where you feel like you've lost Some friends that are irreplaceable just like the 2 of them it's fair enough to lose sleep thinking about how to keep them , and fix what you've done.
Many people are irreplaceable in my life but it only takes a situation to prove whether you're worth it or not.
P.S... I love you R& U , the blessing I've never expected, EVER. Without you my days would be boring
As hell yawww B-)
Next post soon hopefully love y'all

Chapter 5
Duty free ma'am??
Serene: no thanks
Joe: I want two fortune cookies if you have them here please x
I didn't even know they sold fortune cookies in here,, but they did in fact sell them.
"Dear passengers please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts, we will land in hariri international airport in 5 minutes, hope you,ve enjoyed the flight with the Middle East airlines!!"
We reached Lebanon,finally!! I was very excited and happy :D
Joe : " we'll talk through BBM k??:D"
Serene "yea sure we will keep in touch..:D
Joe : nice to meet you!!
Serene: you too
Voooommmmmm.....
The plane landed,, and we are now about to get in to the airport.
The seatbelt sign turned off,,so happily we unfastened them and got up.
I got up first to take out my bag from the top cabinet, following me, joe got up.
Half way through the aisle, joe poked me.
I turned around...
Serene: ""whaaat?.,"
I HATE POKING
Joe : " Hahaa sorry for annoying you but just wanted to give you this fortune cookie."
Serene: no thanks, keep it for yourself ..
Joe: but I bought it for you!! I swear
Serene: fine, thanks its so sweet of you.
I didn't expect him to give me one of those cookies,, it was very thoughtful of him.
Joe; but hey,, don't open it until you leave the airport deal?
Serene: Hahaa ok deal ;)
We got out of the plane through those "hallways" or something they connect to the plane.
We all rushed through to get our passports stamped and head off to pick up our baggage.
It didn't take us lots of time, we finished quickly.
I saw joe once again we waved at each other then he got out of sight.
We found my cousins / relatives welcoming us, they where 5 plus the driver which makes them 6;
Mariam, ludy, Sarah, Joanna, aunt nancy and the driver
Mariam ( mimo)
Tall, skinny, tanned, love her. ! 16
Ludy(nick name ) won't mention real name she wouldn't like it
Skinniest cousin,, average height, very white,, and she's the closest cousin 18
Sarah (SARS)
Chubby, lovely eyes and personality , so out going !! Obsessed with all kinds of chocolate or foods in general. 19
Joanna: (juju)
Green eyes, perfect body matching height, curly hair 15
Aunt nancy is just my moms sister , not very interesting :P will describe her when I mention her.
Ludy: l7mdella 3al saleme serryl!!! Miss youuuu!! finally ehh??;D
*serryl is my nickname *
They all hugged me and everything after greeting each other while the driver went to the car with the luggage man following him.
Then we went to the parking lot and got in to the car, the weather was simply AMAZING!! Not humid, hot, freezing,, it didn't feel like summer at all!!
Beirut's sky was fresh blue, the doves where all over the place.
Mom : sabaya/ girls,, ma badna netghada?wont we go eat lunch????
All of us ;;; YESSSSSS we shouted
like a bunch of weirdos, Sarah told me that they haven't eaten anything just to go out for lunch.
Sarah: it's all your falt ok,?! I'm starving
Everyone laughed and juju slapped her #LOL
I was really happy I saw my cousins,, no one lives in Lebanon actually other than joanna.
All Of them are residents in The Gulf countries.
Even nancy, but they all finished school before me.
My siblings were still in kuwait, they're In a different school than mine, so I came to Lebanon before them with mama.
"Where do you want to go??" Asked the driver
We all decided at last to go to the bay rock cafe. This was a restaurant and cafe at the Same time, but the view was beautiful, it's right in front of the bay rocks that are one of lebanon's famous landmarks.
Lady at the door; " welcome to the bay rock cafe ma'am, wait 5 minutes until we get your table ready."
Nancy:"ok but I want a table for 7 persons please..thankss"
Serene: no thanks

HELLOO!!!x) bits of changes from chapter 1 to chapter 4-
Bits of changes in all chapters, re-read them and i hope you'll like it better!! <3 this will help you understand it more!!:D
Chapter 4
Hey guysss, here's a short post!! I won't be able to post tomorrow!! sorry x Do you want me to keep adding a little bit lebanese or keep it all in english??? Please tell me through twitter and for keeping in touch with me, follow @anonymousLe :D
love you all,, x
We kept talking and chatting until i got a SEVERE headache. The pain was killing me, I was kind of dying but still alive.
Joe was still talking, he didn't realize anything.."My apartment bi beirut is right next to the..."
5alas,,, I couldn't handle it anymore!! My tears ran down my cheeks , I started crying. I couldn't stop it, we're on a plane!!
no pharmacy.
no doctor.
no nurse.
no first aid.
I lost hope---
Everything was becoming blurry, I was passing out. " Help me .. Help me" I tried to say it loudly but it just sounded like a whisper.
Joe:" shu?...
he turned his face to me , he was checking out the duty free nagazine.
"Serene... what's happening, your face is pale!! what's going on. do you want me to call someone for help.?!!!!???"
"I'm fine, Bde nem shway"
I tried to fake a smile and make up something just to let him relax, I didn't want him or my mom to worry.
I was so thankful that mama sat in the front rows while we were in the back.
"Serene, ser, se, een"...
his voice was for sure getting louder but to me it kept going down..and down and down.
"an eye for an eye ......."
"Your crystal eyes...."
"Je m'appelle Joe.."
I was getting flashbacks, I got lost between reality and the dream i'm dreaming.
Joe: " Wake up, please wake up.. serene."
I was getting conscious, I heard his voice but I wasn't aware of anything around me.
I heard what he said, but in case he had more, I ought i kept my eyes shut for another 5 minutes.
A scene I imagined while I was unconscious
"I didn't know what on earth he was talking about or what I was imagining.. "I dont want to go through it again, Its hard,"
regardless of that, the last part made lots of sense<3 "I love you serene."
I wasn't completely conscious/ awake, but I felt that someone was holding on to my hand. Right away a water drop landed on my hand, I was wondering..
He was crying."
I slept and woke up, it was horrible.
"Mama tell Joe to stay.. I need him"
I said in a low voice.
there wasn't much noise so he heard me..but the words weren't that clear.
Joe: "Serene!! l7mdella you're back!! "
DAYDREAM---
"I opened my eyes and found my face against his chest. He hugged me, and I felt another tear drop fall onto my hand. I didn't say a word. I was out of breath still in the 6es6eel mode.
However, I didn't want to let go of him. His hug is so warm, and his perfume gosh i couldn't get over it. It was the most irresistible odor I've ever smelled. "
5alas, i thought it was enough".
DAYDREAM OVER---
I rose my head and sighed, " What happened??"
Joe: " YOU FREAKED ME OUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED OKAY??, YOU'D BETTER NOT DO THAT AGAIN!! JUST DON'T I CAN'T HANDLE SEEING SOMEONE IN PAIN AND NOT DO A THING."
His tone, he was yelling in my face. He freaked me out more than i actually did, I was shocked and from the fear, the tears raced down again..WHAT DID I DO? is it me or him..
love you all,, x
We kept talking and chatting until i got a SEVERE headache. The pain was killing me, I was kind of dying but still alive.
Joe was still talking, he didn't realize anything.."My apartment bi beirut is right next to the..."
5alas,,, I couldn't handle it anymore!! My tears ran down my cheeks , I started crying. I couldn't stop it, we're on a plane!!
no pharmacy.
no doctor.
no nurse.
no first aid.
I lost hope---
Everything was becoming blurry, I was passing out. " Help me .. Help me" I tried to say it loudly but it just sounded like a whisper.
Joe:" shu?...
he turned his face to me , he was checking out the duty free nagazine.
"Serene... what's happening, your face is pale!! what's going on. do you want me to call someone for help.?!!!!???"
"I'm fine, Bde nem shway"
I tried to fake a smile and make up something just to let him relax, I didn't want him or my mom to worry.
I was so thankful that mama sat in the front rows while we were in the back.
"Serene, ser, se, een"...
his voice was for sure getting louder but to me it kept going down..and down and down.
"an eye for an eye ......."
"Your crystal eyes...."
"Je m'appelle Joe.."
I was getting flashbacks, I got lost between reality and the dream i'm dreaming.
Joe: " Wake up, please wake up.. serene."
I was getting conscious, I heard his voice but I wasn't aware of anything around me.
I heard what he said, but in case he had more, I ought i kept my eyes shut for another 5 minutes.
A scene I imagined while I was unconscious
"I didn't know what on earth he was talking about or what I was imagining.. "I dont want to go through it again, Its hard,"
regardless of that, the last part made lots of sense<3 "I love you serene."
I wasn't completely conscious/ awake, but I felt that someone was holding on to my hand. Right away a water drop landed on my hand, I was wondering..
He was crying."
I slept and woke up, it was horrible.
"Mama tell Joe to stay.. I need him"
I said in a low voice.
there wasn't much noise so he heard me..but the words weren't that clear.
Joe: "Serene!! l7mdella you're back!! "

Guy: "haha its ok, I benefited anyways, It was a chance to admire your beautiful eyes"
We sat down...
