My car, Bazaar!

When I tried the side break, it worked fine! as if my car way playing with me? Last Thursday as I came home late a bit around 5pm when I tried to park my car for some reason I got the side break warning light and it didnt work! tried going to the car dealer the same day but I was late they close 4.30pm! so I had to wait till Saturday. I got up early called them up, the guy I’m used to is on leave! but I practically know most of them if not all, so here I am all dressed and ready to find that the side brake is working fine! lol?!

*why didn’t they tell me when they changed my car’s parking location, they did that thursday! meaning that it was working fine Thursday!*

I don’t know who was it that changed my car's parking but I sure do hate them for not telling me about the side break being fine! so I decided to test it, went a few places near Shweikh area so if the light is on again I’m close to the dealer. NOTHING went wrong lol?! I was disappointed in a good way and started to think, does my car hate me?



So I went to an old time favorite *before all the coffee shops are there and it became crowded over night!* The Shweikh Free Trade Zone, went to the devil’s coffee :p picked up Bazaar magazine and currently reading it, as appose to what I do to it, shuffle around for pictures *I’m a visual person*, read bits an pieces and decide to go back to it later to REALLY read it, and mostly I never do. I have that habit with some magazines and books and they just pile up in my room :) for no reasonable reason! Today I decided to read it of course I can be picky with what I read :D it is my taste :P and as I read I wrote don the following notes:





Cool cover, I love water, I love flip-flops! recently bought 2 pairs :D





Rants and Raves



Seriously: made me smile, she’s right!

Mall-o-Xise: Im a bit neutral in that area, yes its a new healthy habit to power walk, but I’m not sure its ok to do that in a place people shop! I agree on the idea of wanting people to go simple in malls *I hate the Kuwaiti over rated shopping dressing code, and let the over elevating hair/ Hijab we see all the time!* but when you are doing an activity you tend to sweat and get tired, that is not very appropriate in a mall, I’m with sports, I love walking but not into combining it with a shopping area :D a mall is an escape from the hot climate we have but not for every thing :>

All Chained up: Talk people! Do not only write about your problems go talk to the management at the same time, do what you can to the MAX, when all fails then you can write about your experience, here in that tiny rant I blame that family for not parking right beside the chain and one of them should go down see the Avenues management/ supervisors and file a complain! I think that we as customers in Kuwait allow the business holders to not take us seriously, I say go for it and talk to claim your right of having that parking space :) either way it was an interesting story


Thuraya Al-Baqsami

A highly inspiring interview that added two books for me to look up and if they are as interesting as he says :) will read them

2- The Shadow Of The Wind
both by Spanish novelist Carlos Ruiz Zafon


Flight of The Conchords

Two in one!


A new Kuwaiti talent, although I did not like the little bump under the red ribbon in the picture, but Dhari Al-Fouzan had a few good points to raise about how photography is not taken care of well in Kuwait. Opposite to his article MARBLE SLAB ad, will go there soon :D


Team Kuwait wins company of the year


Very proud and happy to read this article, which states that Kuwait won the first place in the INJAZ student company competition. One thing that I wondered about as I read the article, how popular was this in the making and preparation process? is it well covered by the media and well publicized for?


Midnight VS. burger hub


I think the midnight time line is created by the fact that night is the best time for people to sleep, and we sleep to wake up the NEXT day, so when you cross that barrier of time you have ruined your sleeping time and entered a new day :D that is what I think about the hype over the midnight thing.

BUT as for THE BURGER HUB, I think its THE BEST burger place in Kuwait! I think Ahmad Al-Bader the owner did a GREAT job, I heard that he cooks and that is why I think he knows about taste very well, The Burger hub’s food is made with passion to good taste and a it was/ is a wonderful way make me HATE junk food lol, who would want to eat a burgers that tastes like rubber when you have real meat and taste? Nevertheless I like the BigMac sauce! But when I want a real BURGER I head to the burger hub :D


Amira Behbahani


The article made me hate my self even more for not going there, I don’t know I forgot about it! But since it was postponed, took it off from my notes and didn’t reschedule!


Malibu, Cali... Why now?


Why did they publish this when I really can’t travel? hmm come to think of it generally I’m not into traveling in the summer and I have a looooot to do here this summer, but for some reason I’m craving the escape!


Lament for a facebook friend


LOL, loved it! and yes!! why do we add people we don’t know and do not interact with? moreover why facebook? do we really lack personal social interaction that much? is facebook a new way to step out of our social boundaries?


Snap
