A few friendship quotes

Here is a couple of the quotes that I've been reading; thought of sharing'em here :

"Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant."
- Socrates

"Keep your friendships in repair."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson


"True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and choice."
- Samuel Johnston

I've learned: you've gotta slow down in making friends, people could be full of surprises; I haven't been able to "act" to this though; since I like people a lot and make friends way too fast! and this is not healthy for me...

Vacation





It was a while that I was looking forward to a great vacation where I can take a break from everyday duties and forget about anything that happens in my everyday life specially a break from school, exams, & research ... I even had break from internet and any kind of reading and it felt great to be that relaxed...

Anyhook, I went to Orlando Fl for 7 days with my hubby and an awsome group of friends (totally 9 people). Places we visited were 2 parks of universal Studios,KSC (Kennedy Space Center of NASA) which I enjoyed visiting for the second time, Seaworld and the most beautiful park I had ever seen the Disney's EPCOT (the image is Epcot's).This amazing park had wonderful rides of human historty from the begining and on to the future ; Mission space where they simulated a take off, ride and landing in Mars. Each of us had a particular role in running the S/C and I was the Flight Engineer!
Since I love travelling this park was the right place for me to be: they had designed different countries of the world with their particular buildings and special markets in this park.(As far as I remember the countries were France, Germany, Morocco(see the second image), Mexico, Norway,China, Japan, Italy and US & Canada)There was still a lot to see and one day was not enough to see the whole parks.
To my own surprise we are planning to go back this time just to see a shuttle take off in the next month or so. This proves that we "LOVE" road trips fo sho!!
