@Fantasia

Your comment here is so much like postplay ;-)
You are erotic even when you ask about a package, lolllll.
I found your remarks about Marseilles so accurate and true, yet the bouillabaisse kind of balanced things out... and the wine, oh the wine.
I'm blessed with the ladies in my life, every one of them. Yet, Fantasia, deep deep in my soul, there's one for me and only one and I can't wait to see her "after glowing" with me ;-)

Oh Abufares, how your words make love. I do not sa...

Oh Abufares, how your words make love. I do not say this to always be erotic, but because it is true.
I have been to Marseilles and disliked it profoundly. Found it dirty, noisy and if it had not been for the bouillabaisse, not worth my time. Yet to read your words makes me question.

You have such lovely ladies in your life. Mariyah, Gabriela and Isobel. You are in fact never alone - never lonely. Your readers come back over and over again. For your words are like a caress from a lover. You never tire of it. Another beautiful post. I will enjoy the after glow for a time.

Abu Fares,

Thank you for your kind reply and for adding me to your blogroll.

We all have different lifestyles and tastes, but just like what you've said, that should never affect the way we enjoy our differences.

@XTR
Thank you for your kind words which I truly find humbling to say the least.
I live and talk very casually even when I respond to comments. However, when I sit alone to write, "superfluous" vocabulary along with the similes, metaphors and connotations do come out naturally. I doubt that I can write in any other way and I'm honored that "some" readers out there appreciate it. To be frank, a friend or two of mine can't stand the way I write or explain the contradictory nature of my writing style to my true simple personality.
I'm glad to add you on my blogroll of course but most importantly for me is our ability to appreciate each other even if we disagree. I think there will come the time when I will write something that you will totally disagree with (considering your elegant "About Me" in your blogger profile). I, too, might feel the same about your opinions but that should never affect the way we enjoy and celebrate our differences.
Finally and most importantly, the fact that you are only 21!!! fills me with an unexplainable joy and pride. Good for you, good for the blogsphere, good for Syria and the world.

Yes Maria was kind enough to leave her comment here. Of course she's so much welcome and I'm honored.

Abu Fares,

Let me just say that from the moment I came across your blog, I’ve been admiring your writing. I am a frequent reader of your blog. Your use of rich language, typified by similes, metaphors, and connotations is fascinating, and of course your beautiful way of expression and perhaps flawless syntax and grammar never cease to amaze all of us.

Some may find your writings unfathomable however mainly because -in their opinion- of your use of superfluous vocabulary, but I think that your writings are nothing short of spectacular. In fact, your rich use of vocabulary avoids clichés and makes your writings special and attractive.

Thank you for the great posts. It’s an honor to have a Syrian writer like you to be one of the best writers and bloggers around.

I’ve added your blog to my blogroll.

I was about to tell you that Maria del Carmen (or Maricarmen) asked me to annonunce you've got a new fan. I see she already introduced herself.
So, fait accompli... I guess.

For your visit. I'm so happy that you told me about your blog which I will certainly read from now.

Please come again, you are always welcome.

@Mariyah
You're going to come all the way to Tartous to plant a big kiss on my...cheek? Come on, you can be more generous than that. I know you can:-)
when I told you that i'm your no. 1 fan it exactly portrayed my feelings toward you and your magical writing. You have the power of a heveanly dream and this is something to always consider when you contemplate your next step. We will meet one of these days... Then you'll know what I have in store for you ;-)
until then all I can do is to tease you on your blog, a place I feel so much at home.

Abu Fares, I swear if you keep this up I shall have to come to Tartous and plant a big kiss on your cheek! :) How can I thank you enough? I was slow getting here but Gabriela was kind enough to light a fire under me...and no wonder she thought this post was so noteworthy. This is one of the most beautiful posts you have written and you have written many incredible pieces. I can't even begin to describe what it means to me to be complimented in such a way by you. You certainly know how to touch the hearts of your readers. Thank you my dear friend from the bottom of my heart. Now off to read your son's blog...how wonderful!!

@Omar
You know that there is nothing I want more at the time being (well almost nothing:-) than starting on my own book.
The only problem I have is to be able to consistently dedicate a certain part of my day for this endeavor. I want to be able to settle into a comfortable writing routine and soon. Thank you so much for your encouraging words now and always.

@JGM
Thank you my friend. Fares will eventually be on his own. Until then I do my best to show him the ways so that when it's high time to choose he would know that there are more than one option to consider.

I seem to always be repeating myself here Abufares, but here I go again, beautiful as always. Your prose defy beauty. How long would I have to try to convince you to write a book?

I forgot to tell you: Barranco is not far away from where I live. If you like to walk as much as I do, it's a beautiful promenade.
And I'm still speechless..

@Maha (my dear sister)

Words are but mirrors into our soul. Unearthing "Suffonism" is one of the greatest pleasures I have ever experienced. It's Isobel who should be credited with this great Canadian gem of a word.
My love and kisses all the way to you in Canada.
