334 : د. وليد الرجيب

الليلة مع "طلقة في صدر الشمال" للدكتور و ليد الرجيب

بداية معرفتي بكتاباته كانت من خلال رواية موستيك، و بعدها اليوم التالي لأمس، حبيتهم و حبيت اسلوب الكاتب اللي يرمي لاكثر من بعد في القصة. له اهداف اجتماعية، انسانية و ثقافية بكل القصتين السابق ذكرهم، و هذا اهو الشي اللي شدني لكتاباته. طلقة في صدر الشمال كتاب قديم له و اليوم بيكون على الاجندة بعد الكتاب اللي ان شاء الله بخلصه

Melenzane

I'm supposed to write about my experience at Melenzane, an Italian all-Kuwait restaurant and how nice the owners are, but since am out of town with very little pictures to talk about my first experience that deserves a whole post :> I decided to at least link the post P0ach has published regarding!!!!!!!!!!

Melanzane winning the 2010 Kuwaiti Small Business Award

Congrats to the dear Mohammad and his cousin :} I wish you all the best :> Really nice to hear that small Kuwaiti businesses are doing well.

For more information about the place simply visit their website for more information, the place is located in Al-Bida area, Arjan complex "the new extension by Rasha Chic". If you're asking about the food :) it wont disappoint you!

333 : Abu Dhabi

I loved this bridge with wave-like sides!

I like Abu Dhabi so far, more quiet than Dubai and I saw more locals :D I'm more of a town girl, the only city skipped this exception was Las Vegas, and now Abu Dhabi, sure I didn't nor will get time to see touristic attractions & the art scene here! YET I liked it, something very comfy about this Emirate. The greenery spread all over has a lot of effect on me really makes me happy :]

332 : العار؟

العار؟

هذا اللي طلع معاهم ،، و الفلم اسمه

Despicable Me

Despicable = حقير ، كريه ، بغيض

بس ما تقول اسم الفلم العار! لا و انميشن مال اطفال بعد لوول؟؟؟ ليش؟؟؟

حسيت المفروض يكون بوستر فيه نادية الجندي او نبيلة عبيد مو افلام كرتون. اللي قرروا يسمونه جذيه! طيران الاتحاد

331 : Sale balloon

ونستني تفاخية معرض اليوسفي اللي يطل على الغزالي اليوم و انا بوسط معمعة التنسيق و ترتيب المهام

من فترة طويلة ما مريت بيوم ماراثوني نفس اليوم، و الشي الغريب اني على كثر ما اتعب بهالنوع من الايام الا اني اوله عليهم! و احب اللي انا قاعده اسوية. الغريب اكثر بالموضوع اني بعز اللوية تحوشني لحضات افكر فيها بكل شي بحياتي و اعيد تقييم الامور اللي امر فيها

330 : Fly

Picture above from the "Cirque du Soleil and Moscow Circus" show in Kuwait. For a moment there, he flew :} with ropes for sure, for security, but he felt how is it to be above, raising the bar high to what others might fel normally on earth. Yet in the end he got back to the ground :] after putting up a great act juggling in the air. I had fun in the parts I attended, unfortunatly had to leave early.

Note in time: Go up, enjoy the feeling, but stay aware that you do need to go back down on earth :p

329 : 3 Items only!

Usually when preparing a "to get" list for a trip, I end up with 10-15 items, for this one I dont have a lot to get :D I'm kinda happy with it, this means I'll have more "me time" :>

328 : Beetroot

I love beetroot and thought this dish from Maki was good, turned out to be oily! There was olive oil drizzled on it and the beetroot was over fried! Didn't taste good at all ://

Random thoughts

(1)
Today was the most crazy day I had in 2010, I was spontaneous in a way beyond my imagination LOL and it was amazing! I took a leap and landed on a flower-full hill, THANK GOD. It felt good, to let go, followed my feelings instead of the usual think/analyze/plan fuss, I have to say that I also was very lucky :p feeling good.

(2)
Among the many thoughts I had today, that I need to stop running, go away from the picture of my life, take a good look what do I want to REALLY do and how.

(3)
Nothing is more beautiful than nature! or a kid's smile, how often do we go see simple things and enjoy them? Take a look above every morning :> the sky is lovely lately.

327 : iSpot

Just as I looked outside my car window in the middle of today's fuss, I spotted something across the highway, on the bridge wall ....

it was ...

Graffiti? With unknown characters! COE? or I don't know, the question is ,,, why?! whats the point :}

326 : Origami

With the help of this video, I made cherry blossoms from paper :>

I think Origami is very creative, I do respect other artistic works done with paper BUT to fold a paper in a way to form amazing things like a dinosaur! A flower, is simply creative :] I was wondering while doing the flowers, how did they think of it, the design the paper manipulation to get to this shape? It was a nice experience that resulted in a smile-full day :}

me happy

325 : Traffic-Fine!

Got a ticket today :/ was out from work and of all people that could be beside me on the road a police office came close! the moment I picked up the phone lol, so I ended my call quickly hoping he'll pass it! But he didn't :p

So the good officer lit up the lights spoke to me on the speaker to park on the right, gave me the yellow thingie up there. I was oddly scared! Don't know why, but then again got a little kick of anger due to the way he spoke to me, kept calm as much as I could, and went by on my way. I admit it wasn't nice to get the ticket, BUT I had the hope he does apply the law properly on everyone! So am cool with you Mr. Shur6i you did your job, as long as you DO IT all the time :>

Handsfree in car from now on

324 : Abyat

First time to visit Abyat I have to say WOW! really good place, huge variety and I kinda changed my mind! I was looking for gray floors, found a lot of nice ones BUT other colors were amazing too! SO will use next week to plan and sketch again :/

323 : Early moon

The moon @ 4.33pm

The moon and the sun were bright in the sky this afternoon, it was charming, and seeing them in opposite sides of the sky, looking so beautiful in the same sky among the same clouds, yet so apart.

322 : مكتبات الصفاة

اتذكر ان ابوي كان كله يودينا لهم، هالجم بلوك فيهم محلات قرطاسية عجيبة! و فيهم جملة و مفرق. الحلو ان كل شي تلقاه عندهم! لو مهما كان طلبك صعب و كله بمكان واحد، تطلع من مكتبه لي الثانية اللي يمها و تخلص شغلك بمكان واحد

هم ايام الجامعة ارتبطت بهالمكاتب، اذكر كنا نروح انا و اخوي بداية كل كورس و نفتر على المكاتب و ناخذ نوت و اقلام، و اسعارهم فرررق عن السوق، بس طبعا ما نعبر لا.م ناخذ شغلات من مكتبات يمين و يسار بس هذيلا خاصيين للتجهيزات الاساسية

321 : Pattern

I'm very fond pf patterns :) although they are very difficult and time consuming when drawing them! That's probably why I'm not into drawing them, yet enjoy them very much.

In life you can have a pattern or not, most people do, even if in simple and little things not much stand up and do every thing randomly, a preference takers place here and there in your life.

320 : You are what you eat

Went to get some sweets from Rahash that was in Kuwaiti city near Dar Alawadhi but they moved god knows when, so decided to call sweets shop form home delivery & we went to take a quick bite from the baking tray. From there I too this picture for their slogan, and it is very true. The baking tray of the few places in Kuwait that I can really say they serve really FRESH food, with the highest quality. Heard about it a while ago and every time I try to go there I find a problem with the parking, today I didn't :p so we went in took our food to go, and boy was it GOOD, best sandwiches ever, really fresh and delicious :>


highly recommended ,, go for it

319 : Eid Night

This Eid night is a bit different, am always ready & know what to wear, the only thing I know is that I want beige the rest is still unknown till now!

318 : لاجئ

و هذا العصفور اللي لقاه ابوي اليوم

قالي و اهو يفتر بالشويخ ولا يشوف هالعصفور يطير و يطيح و كسر خاطره فا خذاه و جابه البيت، يقولي ابوي انه كناري بس انا مستنكره غير انه متختخ هم اللون البني اللي فيه ،، اللي طبعا فسره ابوي بانه من التعب مسكيييين ما يشرب ولا ياكل دايخ من الشمس

شكو لون الريش مادري؟

المهمممم ، راح سوق الحمام و شرا له قفص و اكل و تزقرت العصفور اللاجئ ابيت جديد ،، اول ما رد ابوي مع القفص يبيهم بسرعة يحطون له الاكل ولا الاخ ماكل موز و تمر بعد لوول ،، ما يقول لاء اسم الله عليه من جذيه امتختخ ،،  هم قام ياكل من الحبوب ،، اهو عليه بالعافيه بس اول مره اشوف عصفور هالمتن  ،، عبالي بالاول انه مسوي جذيه من البرد و بيدفي عمره بس ماصارت من شفته و اهو جذيه!!؟

اسم الله عليه و الله يخليه لنا ،، مالي علينا البيت بصراحة ،، بس ما غرد للحين

317 : HORROR

Today and out of my plan, we went to the Perfumes & Makeup exhibition. This is a snapshot of the  Hanan Dashti booth, with all do respect to her & her clients but this is not makeup the way I know it, this is creating another face faking all the woman's feature, its closer to make up we see in horror movies, where a human being is turned into a different creature or what ever! To someone that does not look like who they are in real life!

The idea of makeup is to enhance, color and beautify your features NOT create new ones, if your so unsatisfied with your looks go do a surgery. I do believe in freedom of looking the way you want, but I do not think its reasonable to look like someone else other than who you are.

316 : Spa

Finally today I had the chance to go to a spa, had a very nice session, relaxed and continued the day chillax'n :>

315 : بسكوت و شاي

هابة هاليومين بالبسكوت و الشاي! مادري ليش

و ما ينفع شغل التغمس و سوالف الانجليز و الذرابة كل بسكوته بروح، لاء لازم يصير البسكوت كله بالقلاص و فيه الشاي و اكله بالقفشة

314 : BLANK!

As blank as this page I was after the meeting, where in it I had the most shocking encounter with someone very dear to me.

313 : فراغ

البحث عن الفراغ

بزخم يومي المليء بالمسئوليات التفت خلفي ، حدقت لثوانٍ بفراغ هذا الشارع ، الخالي من المارة و السيارات، كان جميلا ،، كونكريت و اسفلت لكنه اعجبني! الجو كان جميلا، و لحظات الهدوء اجمل ، سماء صافية ، نسمة خفيفة ، قمر يافع يتباهى بجماله

سرحت

ابتسمت

و كملت لوية

:> 

312 : GOOD

I'm good

:}

When asked: Do you want x?
You may reply: No, I'm good
How often do we think of how good, we, really are?

In this very quick and amazingly swift time we live in, we thrive to what we want, and "the better", forgetting what we already have or simply lower its value! In the time that we could be of the few in this world who have this or that thing!

Stop, evaluate and be thankful, for a start, your health :]

311 : Sketching

I love sketching, especially to plan room furniture spacing & organizing :] 

310 : My slinky تعربك

كانت في امان و باليوم ال١١٠ من مشروع ال٣٦٥ ،، و للصدفة بعد ٢٠٠ يوم بالضبط تعربكت، طبعا كالعادة من بركات عيال اخواني لوول الحين عاد اشلون اردها مثل ماكانت

309 : Pixels

I have a path, pixels path :)

The following may not make much sense but to me it does> I was in a cross road to know whats next, pixels, clothes, books, school, and out of no where the pixels appeared. After a lot of thinking I decided that I want to go with what I LOVE to do, not need nor know its best, yet the best is not compromised overly :]

Remember the 5th of November?

Pic source

V for Vendetta is one of my ALL time favorite movies :) as previously said in this post. I'm still amazed how the brilliant Alan Moore has incorporated the story of Guy Fawakes in his comic book V for Vendetta, to express how one could effect many in a simple act, done with high enthusiasm, believe and passion. I for many times wish for such a revolution, cause by those who believe in true freedom and not freedom for hidden reasons :]

Enjoy the following video, containing my favorite part of the movie's dialogue :) I am amazed on how well the words are manipulated and carefully picked, as if they were balls being juggled smoothly.

308 : Benefit Cards

Shops offer all sorts of cards, I am not a fan really, the ones above each was taken for a different reason, maybe the ones that make sense for me are TSC, IKEA & Jarir, since am a frequent shopper. The most favorite is Jarir's true the discount is not that much I get 10% but at least I am eligible for it all the time & on certain items but it helps since I do buy a lot from there. The rest are just for the heck of it :p

307 : إنجاز

صورتها بهالشكل لسببين

١- السما كانت حلوة اليوم فا حبيتها تاخذ حيز كبير من الصورة

٢- تاريخ الانجاز لمشروع تأهيل الشريط الساحلي لجامعة الكويت

الغريب بان اللوحة اعلاه تقع في داخل المنطقة الحرة بعد الإشارة المخصصة للدخول اليها، و حولها حائط من "تشينكو" ليش؟ ماعندي تفسير :) على حسب المكتوب ان المشروع ينتهي في ٢٠٠٦ شتسوي هاللوحة للحين بهالمكان مادري؟

306 : فيروز

احب بفيروز بساطتها، بالكلمات و ابداع الرحابنة بالكلمات و الالحان ، فيروز مزاج و لها اوقات ؛ و تبقى مميزة. على الرغم من التغير بصوتها الا اني حبيت البومها الجديد، لحد الحين اغنيتين استمتعت فيهم ، ما اقدر احكم الا بعد ما اسمع اكثر من مره ،، هالالبوم بيكون جرعة يومية لحد ما اوصل لمرحلة التشبع

305 : ||

Today, I decided to take a Pause. Stayed home, relaxed and felt how good it is to be home.
