From here and there
اسنتاجرم ،، بالكويتي
يا صور اكل ، او صورة شي استهلاكي و تشوف تحته اممممممية تعليق (بالذات على الهدوم ..) من وين؟ بجم؟؟ حتى لو كانت الصورة منقولة من عرض ازياء لماركة معروفة! يكسرون خاطري المدونين و غيرهم، اللي يحطون صور منتجات، اعتقد يتحطم الرقم القياسي للأسئلة اللي ممكن تنسأل عن منتج بس من خلال الانستاجرام، اغبطهم على صبرهم .. و اللي يعطوني الضربة القاااااااااضية، لما يكون في جيو تاق (المكان محدد فوووووق الصورة) و يسألون ، هذا وين؟
حلو تشارك الناس بمنظورك للحياة، و حلو منظورك يكون ايجابي، ان كان اللي تشوفه و تبينا نشوفه معاك اكل او فن او لبس او انشطة، بس الاجمل التنويع و الابداع :) التكنولوجيا سهلت لنا الابداع، بس شوي تحرروا من التكرار و التقليد و الدوران في محور واحد ..و اللي يسألون حاولوا تنتبهون للتفاصيل في الصورة و موقعها و اذا كان مكان عمل او محل دقوا تلفون او زوروهم ،، مو صعبه
"Be truthful, Gentle and fearless" - Ghandi
Picked it up a magnet with this quote from Violet Concept Store, from a brand called Quotable.The reason why I think quotes are charming is that in a sentence a valuable experience of a person who lived before you, is summed up!
The flow of ideas that I got from the three adjectives instantly made me smile, how to bare the three together and insert each in your character in the same time. Maintaining them at all times is the real challenge, we change and at many times life forces us to give up on our believes or we simply choose to. The real effort is to see the right track, maintain it and avoid the bad one. Life is too short to hurt others and your self.
كوفي مربع
حايشني هوس بهالخط ، يمكن لانه خط ينرسم و ما ينكتب! الاجمل بنظري الديواني و الديواني جلي تحديدا بس الكوفي المربع مريح و فيه جانب هندسي .. الخط فن ما تخيلت بحره واسع بهالشكل ، و التعليم فيه ياخذ سنين و تمرين مستمر و متوسع، لما تشوف خطاط يكتب تتوقع انه مثل ما تكتب بشكل عادي، و ما تتخيل الوقت و الجهد المبذول في تعلم كيفية وزن الحرف الواحد! فما بالك بالكلمة و الجملة ،، و الكتاب. اقدر الخطاطين جدا
Tulip Mania
"was a period in the Dutch Golden Age during which contract prices for bulbs of the recently introduced tulip reached extraordinarily high levels and then suddenly collapsed" - Via mighty Wiki
This article sums up our ability to increase or decrease the material value of something, the can be as simple as a flower or as essential as a house!
"n February 1637, some single tulip bulbs sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman" - Same article
الكويت اكثر من وطن - Meet Kuwait in the Avenues
"For the first time in the Middle East The Avenues mall will host in mid
November and for a period of 17 days a 300 year narrative of Kuwait's
history presented through the latest picture recognition technology."
Passed by the Avenues and saw a large installation of Kuwait map on the floor along with a wall filled with pictures going back to history from 1600 to the present day. Illustrating important historical events and facts about Kuwait. Its a unique VERY hip project, because you have to download an application called "Treek" which is Kuwaiti for "Hand lamp" :} you use it to scan this icon on the pictures / map
Here is how it looks like when the application detects the image, you get a play button & you can enjoy the video :}

"في منتصف شهر نوفمبر القادم سوف يستضيف مجمع الافنيوز لمدة ١٧ يوم مشروع

The videos are in both Arabic and English, very short and in sometimes funny! You'll be surprised, check out the videos
I loved how people are looking around on the floor, some are using the application others their own memory to locate the areas on the map and many were looking for their houses :p
Its a huge effort that is worth visiting and appreciating :} check out out people, it will last for 17 days

Instagram Hashtag.. Ceiling_Obsession
I'm fond of looking up, I make sure that I take a good look at the sky before I start my day, any building I enter the first thing that catches my eye is its ceiling .. The other day in Instagram one user directed me to include a picture of mine in #Ceiling_Obsession .. What an amazing world was over there! One of the best things the internet provided is the possibility & ease to find people with common interests regardless of anything else attached to them, other than the "interest" it self :} If you're in Instagram check out the hashtag
