365 : Kuwait


And the last picture goes to Kuwait City the capital of my beloved Kuwait :]

و تعمدت اظهار الكونتينرات، على الرغم من جمال الموقع و المشهد الذي صورته الا اننا في الكويت لا نزال نحتاج للكثير من التعديل و الترتيب لما نراه من المشهد السياسي و الاجتماعي ، نحتاج ان نزيح كونتينرات السوداوية و الكره و نضعها في مكانها المخصص، بعيدا عن جمال الكويت، لنرى المشهد بشكل اجمل 

و بهذه الكلمات انهي مشروع ٣٦٥ صورة الذي استمر خلال ايام سنة ٢٠١٠ ، و كل عام و انتم بخير

:}

P.S.: Special thanks to @cutenemo for the location :D

364 : Winter


Finally winter is here, last week was cold in the morning BUT Thursday 30.12.2010 had THE most beautiful sky this year :}

Had a long week and a very long Thursday at work, the lovely sunset made it up to me, got me happy and washed away all the tiredness.

Lamp lights VS the sky, is the view I became very used to, it adds a certain charm to the scene!

363 : L O V E


When I got the 1st bracelet with the word "love" on it, my brother asked why of all the bracelets with words you chose love? Thinking that I could relate more to other "cooler" words and phrases :p I answered because, I love love :]

The idea is to go beyond, love people, life, surroundings, feelings, actions, animals, even buildings ,, etc! I see love as a positive energy that we all, should have, so holding the word close to my wrist doesn't mean I lack it or have it, it means that I consider it dear to me, to the extent that I carry it along at all times, with proud.

Whiten your hearts with love, and never let hate or any dark feeling invade it :}

362 : P2BK


A lot have been said around the Proud to Be Kuwaiti event held every year, which I plan to write about in the next year "I enjoy saying this when its a few days away!" although a lot might not approve nor see it as a promising event and to be honest I kinda went along in the beginning, YET now I have another view and I think it is a very positive event, till that post comes out to light I will stick to the Chocolateness subject!

Chocolate is an amazing substance greatly loved by a lot of people, in Kuwait the fond of chocolate is growing as we see a lot of cafe's and pastries had chocolatized up! Chocolateness is a local small business for a young Kuwaiti guy that depends on home delivery of his "molten cakes" simple and creative. They are yummy but to me of not so addictive taste, none the less I am proud of the young guy behind it

361 : Nimbus


Decided to go with Nimbus gray for my room :}

I went with gray or grey, because I wanted a neutral color to go with my white ceiling & my "to be decided" Black & White furniture, allowing me to enter BOLD really sharp colors around the room like bedsheets, cushions, couch,,, etc

I'm almost done with furniture, I have an idea what do I want, BUT the dilemma now is with the lighting, what I know for sure is that I have to be ready by this weekend as per dad's request so we can start soon. I'm excited and want to start my annual leave with a new room :>

Quotes from sod calm and get angry

This will be a light post, pictures of the quotes I liked form "Sod Calm and Get Angry". I love quotes because they are short, straight to the point, gives u a chunk of someone's experience :}


Work perfectly with the latest happenings in Kuwait

مهم جدا لمدمني العمل

مجدد ،، السياسيون يكتسحون

Listen more than you speak & speak only of what you know

I actually lived to see that as a fact :p

This one made me laugh, mean but funny

Yet a "great deal" of it is not a fixed measure :p

SERIOUSLY?! @@
but it made me laugh :p

I believe so!

To finance people :} cheers!

:p

Never over do it! So you wouldn't get to this potion

ما اشوف ان الالم بشكله المطلق يعبر، بقدر ان الانسان ما يواجه حياة سهلة، الالم و التحدي جزء جميل منها، لانه يعلمنا


Applies to my budget for a loooong while :p till I managed to fit it well to my ability vs NEEDS then wants :>
Makes you think, how well are we developing

This one flipped my brains! Had to re-read it slowly to get it, bottom line, happiness is subjective, to our and their view :}

My kind of guy :> always prepared

Else, the world would have came to an end.. still the end could be better than the beginning or middle, hence the loop is non ending ,, get it?

Identify the Pauls out there :}

VERY true!

I call it the Horse eye syndrome, where the side view is hidden so that it can only see ahead

And the day I did it, was the best by far, since then, I fight :}

VERY TRUE

الاحتجاج من ارقى حقوق الناس

و الساكت عن الحق، شيطان اخرس

Oddly in Kuwait, we did become like it!

Courage and faith are grand :]

I never doubted that and will ever have faith in a better future as long as there are GOOD THOUGHTFUL KUWAITI citizens out there :}
My selection has ended :>

Although the book is small but the content is very big and amusing :} Got it from Virgin Kuwait. Last but not least, a special thanks to Touché for the boost fwd to do this post :>

360 : Cinnamon


Cinnamon is a must with my white chocolate mocha, in any coffee shop. My love for Cinnamon started long ago, the smell and taste are simply amazing. Due to my love for this spice I decided to research it and here are some benefits:

10 Health benefits of Cinnamon [Link]
1.Studies have shown that just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol.

2.Several studies suggest that cinnamon may have a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it especially beneficial for people with Type 2 diabetes.

3.In some studies, cinnamon has shown an amazing ability to stop medication-resistant yeast infections.

4.In a study published by researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Maryland, cinnamon reduced the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells.

5.It has an anti-clotting effect on the blood.

6.In a study at Copenhagen University, patients given half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder combined with one tablespoon of honey every morning before breakfast had significant relief in arthritis pain after one week and could walk without pain within one month.

7.When added to food, it inhibits bacterial growth and food spoilage, making it a natural food preservative.

8.One study found that smelling cinnamon boosts cognitive function and memory.

9.Researchers at Kansas State University found that cinnamon fights the E. coli bacteria in unpasteurized juices.

10. It is a great source of manganese, fiber, iron, and calcium.

Also this website has about the same as above, its a good read :}

NOW a favorite winter recipe for Milk & Cinnamon:

Heat milk
Mix some corn starch mixed with water [1/2 table spoon for each mug]
Add starch solution to warm milk and stir while cooking
Make sure you don't burn the milk :p
add ground cinnamon on top

voila :} yummy thick milk & cinnamon drink

358 : Supplements


I'm trying to get my self to commit to this supplement of much needed vitamins, but its not easy for someone who can't even have meds when sick!

Its all in the brain, if I manage to mentally convince my self to have a pill per day, I know I can make it :} starting from today

357 : Counting the years


I see this torn bag every day, yesterday of all days I kept thinking about what could I do if I lived 100 years, a thought that made me revise what did I do with my 30 years , did I invest my time well or not, the result, a lot of resolutions for 2011 :>

New teddy,,,, welcome aboard :>

350 : فن الكلام


اقرأ كتاب "أشعار خالد الفيصل" حاليا و هو كتاب يشمل كافة دواوينه الشعرية ،، كتاب يفوق ال٤٥٠ صفحة و على الرغم من اني لم انتهي منه بعد الا اني ذهلت بكم الكلمات الراقية الموجودة! ليس المتفرد بها لكنه متميز بصياغتها و توظيفها. و في زخم المجريات السياسية تحديدا في الكويت و ظهور الكثير ممن تشح قواميسهم عن الكلمات الجيدة ليصيغوا جملهم و تعابيرهم لنا كمشاهدين، استغرب عدم قدرتهم على ايجاد بضع من الكلمات التي وجدها الشاعر الامير خالد الفيصل.

و العرب المسلمين تحديدا برعوا في علم الكلام! و من شدة تفاخرهم باللغة نزل القرآن بلغتهم، ليهزمهم بعقر دارهم و بفصاحتهم و يتحدى  مقدتهم على الصياغة و توظيف الكلمات، فلما يعجز السياسيون تحديدا و المتحدثون اعلاميا من الاعلاميين و غيرهم على حسن توظيف الكلام و الالتزم بالالفاظ الطيبة التي تتيح لمن معك و ضدك بان يستمع لك؟

كشعب نتحمل انحدار لغة الحوار، لان السياسيين و الاعلاميين و المتحدثين عبر قنوات الاعلام او حتى بالانترنت و المدونات، هم بالنهاية نتاج مجتمعنا! و يحملون لنا صورة لما نحن عليه كشعب. سعدت بوجود صوت عقلاني في البرلمان الكويتي بخطاب يثلج الصدر من قبل الدكتورة اسيل العوضي، من حيث المحتوى و اسلوب الحديث و انتقاء الالفاظ، هكذا نتمنى متحدثينا و هكذا نريد لغة الحوار، بالمنطق و الرزانة ، بالعقل و الهدوء ، بالخير و حسن الكلام .. على الرغم من بساطة كلمات النائبة الا ان اثرها لم يكن بسيطا بردود افعال من يؤيدها في توجهاتها و من يعارضها ، بعثت هذه المواقف حس راقي بالنظر للموقف لا الشخص، بالحكم العقلاني لا الشخصاني

بقلبي الكثير و الكثير عن مجريات الاسبوعين السابقين، و لاني لا اريد الانجراف بهذه المدونة لمنحنى سياسي احاول ان ابتعد عن الطرح السياسي، لكن لي كلمة حول الكلمة ، لنرتقي بالكلمة و لنرد على الكلمة بكلمة لا باليد و لا بقوة السلاح ، حتى و ان هبط مستوى من يحاورنا، يبقى المنطق الراقي اجمل و اكثر وقعا

Took out this bulk from  my wallet, which was full to the extent that it wont close up :p I can't leave papers and rely on technology yet! I still prefer to keep business cards, write numbers and information on paper, not sure why though ...

347 : Quotes


Found this book the other day in virgin marina mall, its full of quotes that are really funny , thinking of making a post with pictures of my best quotes from it, and in the mean time I tweet some of them too :p

What really attracts me in quotes is that they are short, straight to the point and mostly contain a great deal of one's experience :]

346 : طاولة


ما افهم المتعة بالحفر على طاولة المقهي ،، يفترض انه مكان عام و نقضي فيه وقت ،، ليش نخربه ؟
