Most of us quote René Descartes on his Cogito, ergo sum - I Think, therefore I am. So? What does it really mean and what am I referring to by using the term Cogito?

As per the Merriam Webster dictionary, Cogito represents the intellectual processes of the self.

Hence in this section, I include a first series on financial awareness by presenting complex concepts in a simple and accessible way. I additionally contemplate daily situations in "This And That". Starting January 2021, my FB campaign of “How Can I Help You” is now also published here and advertised on social media. Curious enough to know more? Feel free to read and comment :)

January 21. Moon Hours
|

Sometimes I ride out at night and try to immerse myself in the mysteries of the skies, away from people and light pollution.

In those moments, the moon looks sort of magical...

Read on for the review of the dinner.

January 13. A New Initiative Is Born
|

As my birthday approaches, I think more and more about a new campaign to be launched on my personal Facebook page.

It's like a contribution of some sort, for having the privilege of adding one more year to my experience of the school of life.

Now, what shall this input be?

January 18. House Deco
|

True. I am interested in beautifying spaces.

No. I didn't study architecture or interior design. I almost did and then went for something totally unrelated.

What I actually found out about decorating my home, which is an ongoing project still, is that I enjoy it and that my visitors mostly want to know more about my ideas...

January 17. Writing
|

This evening, I let my mind wander. And I end up thinking about... writing.

Quite interesting. I don't write professionally. I haven't written an academic paper in ages now.

So what about my writing activities?

January 16. Astrophotography... And A Calendar
|

I met Maroun Habib, aka Moophz, in 2019 to buy his Astrophotography calendar.

This highly talented artist is actually a cyber security specialist by day and an astrophotographer, obviously, by night.

It is important to note that he was featured twice in 2018 on NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day.

January 15. Sa3ed or Helping Out
|

Talking with a friend about the current situation in Lebanon made me realize that I wanted to do something more concrete for my people.

Yes, I do consider myself a Lebanese, even if I can't hold a Lebanese passport.

And it pains me to see how much suffering there is around us. That's how tossing ideas back and forth got me to this initiative that will be hopefully launched soon.

January 14. A Day At The Spa
|

With age, not that I'm getting old, just older, I just want some time to relax, away from work, home, and the daily routines.

What better gift could I offer myself than being pampered at Kimantra Spa?

January 12. Making A Stand
|

Born a rebel, and having a high sensitivity to causes related to the environment and the protection of local heritage, are enough to have me take a stand on what is happening in the Bisri Valley, in Lebanon.

This is a beautiful spot in Lebanon that its government is endangering with its Water supply project of a dam. Submerging this area is a man-made natural catastrophe and needs to be countered.

January 11. Music, Language Of The Soul
|

I frequently express how music makes me feel. It transports me to another world, a spiritual one, where I am absolutely free. And light.

The concert "Vienna in Beirut" that I attended the previous night was more than delectable nectar. It simply infused me with happy vibes...

And tonight, since friends are coming to have drinks, what music are we going to discuss and listen to?
