نمر بن عدوان و الجانب الرقيق من الرجل
المقالة متأخره لكنها افكار تلازمني ،، و اخرجها للسطح بريد الكتروني قمت بحذفه بعد حملة تنظيف شاملة قمت بشنها على صندوق بريدي الاكتروني ككل
نمر بن عدوان شخصية عربية قديمة "بدوية" يلتصق بها اساس الجملة التي يقولها بعض الناس، اجمالا البدو "هذا بلا ابوك يا عقاب" و المقصود بها الاشارة الى خصلة تميز شخص ما و ارجاع محبة هذا الشخص الى تلك الخصله ، اي ان هذه الخصله هي سبب الحب بمن قيلت عنه
المثير للاهتمام بان البريد الالكتروني الذي حركني لكتابة هذه المقالة قد وصلني من رجل ،، على الرغم من افتتان النساء بشخصية الاعرابي الذي يتخطى الاعراف المتداوله و يظهر عاطفته لزوجته التي يحب الى الناس اجمعين و ان يمتد هذا الحب الى ما بعد وفاتها، الا ان لشخصية نمر بن عدوان صدى لدى الذكور على حد سواء و اعجبوا به، مما يغاير النظرة بأن الرجال عموما لا يحبون الرجل العاطفي
اثبتت هذه الشخصية بان الرجولة و اظهار العاطفة لا يرتبطان ببعظهما كالماء و النار و ان احدهما لا يخمد الآخر، بالعكس يمكن لرجل ان يعبر عن عاطفته و ان هذا الشيء ليس به اي انتقاص للرجولة
و افتتان بعض الرجال به بنظري هو فأل خير :) فالتعبير عن العاطفة لم يعد حكرا على النساء عموما، هذا لا يعني انكار عاطفة الرجل ولكني اتكلم بالعموم! ذلك لان الرجل عموما يتحكم بعاطفته اكثر من المرأة "بشكل عااااام و ليس خاص" و لعل نمر بن عدوان سيكون رمز لتجديد العاطفة بين الازواج و التعبير عنها بحرية اكثر و بلا خجل و بكل احترام؟! الشيء الذي يندر وجوده و في بعض الاحيان ان وجد تسمع الاصوات التي تقول:
"ليييييييييييييييييييش تبي اتفطن الناس علينا و يحسدونا @@ لا ويه لا تقول لاحد"
و في بعض الاحيان باصوات اكثر خشونة
"خرووووووووووووووووف"
صحيح ان للأشعار الغزلية نصيب الاسد مما يقولة الشعراء على مر العصور و بالاخص الذكور منهم، و لكن التغزل بالزوجه لم يكن من غالبية هذه الاشعار ،، حسب وجهة نظري ،، ولا املك اي شيئ ضد هذه الكتابات فللشاعر حرية ما يكتب به،،
و نعود الى نمر ،، فإن كان العامل المحفز هو نمر بن عدوان او غيره! شخصياً يسعدني وجوده و انتشاره،، لان التعبير عن المشاعر لمن نحب بوقت وجودهم في هذه الحياة ظروري فكلنا زائرون لهذه الحياة و سنتركها بوقت ما ،، فلنخلف ورائنا ما يسعدنا و يسعد من نحب

A quick dish!
Yesterday:
When I got home, lunch was not appealing, looked into the fridge found some useful things [mushrooms - coriander - Parmesan] and did the following:
Took out some garlic & coriander
Butter in the pan
MUSHROOMS
Crushed garlic with coriander, added some salt when squashing them, it makes it easy to squash them :D this is my mother's tip! Then added some pepper "I prefer freshly crushed" and some dried rosemary
Added the mushrooms to the mix
Did not have time to cover the pan & wait for the mushrooms to sweat so i added a little bit of water ;p then after a minute or two added some cream over
A few minutes to simmer, the mushrooms with the fake white sauce mixed along well :D finally added some Parmesan cheese just before serving
Annnnnd :D I was DONE, it was ready to be eaten
This sauce with the mushrooms fits a pasta or even with some grilled chicken or steak ,, am a white sauce + mushroom + chicken lover :D thats why I made up this dish, although am not a garlic lover but with the white sauce it works well!
Mistakes:
It was a bit salty, I forgot that I added salt to the garlic & coriander mix :/ but I ateeee it along with my sister & bro,,, and they are FINE :D el7mdillah
a lot of cream and water added, a lot of sauce was produced :D which made it fit a pasta more than to be eaten alone ;p
I ate it with some brown toast. All in all it was a good quick Q80-ChillGirl'ie meal :D "that did not sound nice! too long"

Sharq
I went to see the Sharq movie premier here in Kuwait tonight @ 8 pm......
The Cancellation:
A few hours before the show my sister & friend could not attend the premier with me but I went there :D alone and it was not easy for a shy person like me, yet I had fun.
The Family mixup:
When I stood for a while near the gate, a family stood in front of me, yes not beside me but in front of me LOL it was hillarious how people looked at me as they came to greet them and wondering who was I ??!!
The Early Bird:
I came there early! too early, 45 minutes before the show, and we did not get in till after 8:05, Arabic timing, Although I liked the fact that I came early still the wait is not for me! I could not stand still for more than a minute! I went here & there, up & down, I can not handle waiting well, if only I took that book with me at least I have read a few pages!
The Salfa:
مو قادره انسى سالفة اثنين يهبلون تخاتيخ من عمر العشر سنين او بداية التعشات ،، يقول للي معاه ايييطقها بالكتاب و قالها انا كنت بطق الذبانه او طق المدرسه او مادري شصار المهم شكله و انفعالاته تشوق :> و اللي يشوق اكثر انفعال اللي معاه لوول حدهم مختبين على السالفة
و هم كان شكل الصبيان اللي لابسين دشاديش يونس،، انتشروا بالساحة اللي جبال السينما ذكروني ابيت عمي العود بالعيد ايام اول ،، لما كانت الدشداشة اللبس الرسمي للصغار
The Faces:
Saw a few familiar faces :D they made me smile :D although some of them don't know me but they made it easy! with the net's aid that is.
The Organizing:
Was good, except for the delay in the playing time, I had a busy day so every minute counts! especially that was dead tired!
The movie, My review:
All in all I liked it, its not something extraordinary but very worth producing, I have always felt that there is this poor one Kuwaiti movie that counted as a try in the cinema world, Bas Ya Bahar, of course EXzombie's latest article proved me wrong & informed me with a lot of facts regarding the kuwaiti cinema and movie industry, an article worth reading it is a documentation of a part of the Kuwaiti culture. Still it is young, and done by amateurs "majority" but its there.
Sharg is a movie about a group of kids who want a new football after theirs being ruined! so the search for a new ball begins, in an other part of Kuwait far away from where they live, my most enjoyable part is the scenes in the middle of the movie where they flash back around the places they went to in Kuwait in their search for Sharg!
I enjoyed the movie a lot, the editing was very nice, script and enjoyed the movie as a whole, it was funny, I would give it 4/5. If you did not see it, or hasty to go & see it, DO NOT !! this is so worth it and its only ALMOST 22 minutes long :)
The Ogre:
She did not look anything like an Ogre but I wanted to use this discribtion in particular to describe her impoliteness! let aside the laughs from here & there, the comments for no obvious reason! the repeating of lines! she kept doing, when a scene of poor/ simple houses came, which I assume is in the "Taima" Area in Al-Jahra district, known as "Al-Sha3beyat" since the movie started from Al-jahra, Al-Sh3beyat are one store houses built originally by the government to house Kuwaitis until their real/ bigger houses are built but this project failed as "Al-Sawaber" one did! they are located in two areas of Kuwait: Al-Sulaibiyah & Al-Jahra.
Nevertheless some have not seen them before or took a closer look at them, I did, it was not a pleasant scene and I do not wish for them to exist in Kuwait I wish that every one has a nice house to fit them, what if they don't?
But to say: umbeeeih hathe El-Jahra chetheee !!
It's a shame, a woman with her age "mid - late 20s" does not know how Al-Jahra looks like, or heard or seen how it looks like? even if you have never been there, have you not known any one living there? haven't you heard about their houses? Personaly I do not live there but I know a lot who do, and you my miss :) should take a trip over there just to sea how things are.
I liked a guy's comment who was close by when he said "this is how Al-Sh3beyat in Al-Jahra looks like" to him I say thank you, to her I say, spare us your comments, true its not a library but to me watching a movie is the same as reading in a library :)
Tomorrow is the last day! do not miss it, book now :D
My day ended with a bag & a brochure of the movie beside me on the ride back home,,,,

The Son of man & the Thomas Crown affair!
The other day I watched a movie I REALLY like, the Thomas Crown Affair, a wonderful movie where thrill, wit, art, love is there :) a perfect combination to keep me hooked. Although its a 1999 production but still one of the movies I still like to see.
In that movie the painting below is displayed, since 1999 I wanted to dig up information about it, enough to fill all the blanks I have regarding this painting but never got to it until last week when I saw the movie again,,,, annnd here goes nothing !!!
picture from
++ Son Of Man from a Wiki point of view:
"The phrase son of man is a primarily Semitic idiom that originated in Ancient Mesopotamia, used to denote humanity or self. The phrase is also used in Judaism and Christianity."
++ However the Wiki says more about the painting above :
"The Son of Man (French: Le fils de l'homme) is a 1964 painting by the Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte."
This is for the information related to the painting and its name, now to my butter!
The artist is classifies as a surreal one, surreal in my tiny presepective is un-real, meaning it is real because the artist could use real thing/ places/ objects/ creatures! but in an unreal way, like the master Dali :) "which will have his own post if not posts"
So pretty much the word explains that kind of art, and I also like to explain it as :
painting a dream
now if you see the picture above in a large view "click it" you will notice that his eyes are not totally hidden behind the apple, still one appears more than the other, the one exposed more, the right one for us, corresponds with a shaded hand! mean while the other eye, the left eye corresponds with the not so shaded hand :D
3rd button un-buttoned
ears not symmetrical
those observations I had when I first saw it, the artist could have done them deliberately or not, but the only one I think might be not deliberate is the ear one.
I think it symbolizes the Adam and apple temptation that the son of man still faces till date! and will ever do. If life was the apple I would say it makes a lot of sense to me :) although we can see through the apple, it still hides the big picture from us!

From here and there
فوضة ولا موضة ،، فوضى مو فوضة !! ولا بس علشان تمشي مع كلمة موضة؟ بغض النظر عن الهدف الدرامي من العنوان و من الرغبة في جذب الجمهور لمشاهدة البرنامج ،، لكن لهذا العنوان خطورة و بعد لغويين ،، من اكثر الاحرف التي ينالها اللغط اللغوي باللهجة الكويتية حرفي الضاد و الظاد و اعترف انا اعاني من هذه المشكلة حيث يبدو لي كل ما يشابه الضاد هو ظاد! و القراءة هي المنفذ الوحيد المساند للخروج من هذه العلة ،،
فالقناة بذلك تكون على غرار من يكتب "آنه" بقصد ان يقول أنا باللهجة الكويتية ،، متناسيا بان الكلمة تبقى أنا و أنه على المدى البعيد قد يتأثر الناس و يتساهل كتابة آنه بدلا من أنا و قد نصل الى مرحلة الجدال حول ايهما الاصح؟
فكيف اطلب من امة اقراء التي لا تقراء ان تقراء و تفرق بين الضاد و الظاد،، و اعميها ببرامج تتوجه لجمهورشاب به نسبة لا يستهان بها من جاهلي متى تستخدم الضاد و متى تستخدم الظاد ،، لست بصدد ان اعلق على محتوى البرنامج فهو لا يهمني الان ،، ما يهمني هو تعديل المسمى ليكون صحيح لغوياً من قبل اداة اعلامية لا يستهان بها ،، فالاعلام المرئي اقوى من اي وقت مضى ،، و أعتقد بان اللفض يكفي ولا يجب ان تتخذ الكلمات نفس الاحرف و ان يتم تغيير كلمة لمجرد ان يكون شكل اسم البرنامج جذاب :) النطق يكفي و يوفق و الدعاية للبرنامج كلها نطق
و خلال البحث عن رابط للبرنامج او للمحطة لقيت هالموضوع عند فرانكوم ،، قديم من بداية ال 2006 بس شدتني الردود!!؟

Wondering weather I should publish a story online or keep it in the notepad that I store it in? The mental debate is the copy rights in the first place & in the second is harsh judgment since am not really that perfect in English but for some reason feel the urge to write in that language....
الجو مو طبيعي هاليومين! بالذات الصبح بالدرب للدوام شي مو طبيعي ،، نفسي تنفتح للدوام و ودي امشى على راحتي و ما ادوس و مستانسه اني ما احتاج التكييف مع اني من اكثر الناس اللي ما يتحملون اقل ارتفاع بدرجة الحرارة ،، جو يستحق الاستمتاع به لانه بالكويت لا يطيل المكوث
Stressed, is the best word to describe the current situation of the work load combined with crappy people around you, in every work place there is the good & the bad, be smart and become neither! This should reduce the stress a bit :D

Dubai One ,, tonight 12 am
Dubai One TV will show the movie "Vicent & theo" which will not be a full biography about the artist however its a movie I must see, Van Gogh is not an artist I knew about for long ,, about 7 years ago my interest in art & artists grew he came into the picture 2-3 years ago, and the key to me loving his work was "Starry Night" an amazing painting that made me admire him & look up information about the Artist & had lead me in late 2006 early 2007 not sure when! to buy a diary dedicated to him & his work that I carry with me all day long, along with an other diary for Dali which I will take a whole other post to write about, he is too one of my top listed artists.
This video is for a song done by Don McLean who wrote & sang it as a tribute to the Dutch Artist Vincent Van Gogh.. One day I hope to visit his museum : }
Now in that slide show a lot of his paintings are there and what I like about Van Gogh's work, his simplicity & you can see clearly in most of his work that he does not reflect a perfectly well painted image of life, he does not get the lines really exact & fine in drawing different thing like flowers, houses, people's faces, they are not symmetrical as most art work that generally people like, because of that I like his work & feel that its very true & close to the heart. His work's imperfection is very natural & the key to my admiration :}
The sad thing is that he had a sad life ,, and his art was not well appreciated in his life but after his death. It is sad that people do not realize that time does not go backwards, if you find something you like in life appreciate it the moment you see it, not after its gone!
Links that I will go through "meaning not just shuffle but read all the contents in all pages" when I have enough time & will talk about the Artist more:
1- Van Gogh Gallery
2- the Wiki page, Vincent Van Gogh
3- An other Van Gogh Gallery except this one is "endorsed by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam"
4- A page for Van Gogh in web museum,, which is from
the public's library and digital archive. A site I truly enjoyed.5- Artchive dot com has a page for Van Gogh with some nice resources ,, cool site didn't go through it all but is worth reading it all up if you are interested in art.
6- The Vincent Van Gogh Museum, the most important link of all, his work's home, not all but the biggest collection of it is there.
All of that information about a single artist is just amazing! and if it wasn't for the INTERNET I wouldn't have known so much!! I love the internet :D & books...

From here and there
Woke up misunderstood, not a nice feeling.
Today, I will skip the Arabic line.
Allergy hit home, for some reason I thought that I wouldn't be allergic to the weather,,, ever.
For some reason people think that swearing is ok in English but not in Arabic, its not any less of a bad language you just hear it more often in the media as an expression of anger, so I advice the people who use swearing in English as an escape from Arabic, try translating it before you take it out of your mouth.
I'm getting bored of facebook, What made it fun is all the applications in it, the movie one (flixter?) and the Tetris game are my favorite.

Pat & Stanley
It all started late 2004 when some one sent me this video
At the time I did not know where to start my search & for some reason got busy & didn't do it, today while I was searching something in youtube I found a video for the cute Hippo & Dog with their names! Finally I got a piece of the thread :D
For some reason I did not think they were French! Through the search I found out that who made the video is a French guy named Pierre Coffin, This is his new site, Click on movies from the side bar on the left & you will be up for a lot of fun, this guy is TALENTED mashallah, great work, funny & I didn't think he was French, due to the latest 3D Animated productions being from the USA & the movie industry is huge there! However Pierre Coffin flipped the table & proved him self "in my opinion" as a great artist! I don't know more information about him but he made me laugh for more than a year on the cute Hippo & Dog ,, Pat & Stanely now :D

Paula Lima .. Só tinha de ser com você
It all started at the beauty saloon this Saturday, when I heard an amazing ring tone in a woman's mobile. I'm usually a very shy person but I liked the song so much that I asked her about it & I dared to ask her to send it to me if she can, which is not a very hard thing to do but for me I had to be brave :}
She had no idea about the song, its a new mobile I just used it "she said" The persistent me asked to have the name of the song & I did get it from her, she was so sweet to come to me and let me see the name of the song. There the search began for the song entitled com você which literally means "with you" in Portuguese, I immediately found the video in youtube, link in the title of this post, the singer is Paula Lima a Brazilian. Her voice is amazing, the genre of the music is very close to me as I am a chillout/ Lounge lover too. Still I did not get the mp3 file and might consider to get her CDs somehow at a point of time! When am a little free.
Janet Monheit, an American artist who sang the same song too, her voice/ performance is nice too but did not capture me like Paula Lima's.
On the other hand, I am looking up photoshop tutorials at the moment in youtube, youtube is becoming a daily visited site along with google & wikipedia.

The trip to the MAZE
I'm not referring to the blogger Maze :D but to a building!
It all started when I acted smart & thought that my memory "that mainly consists of short term memory, long term memory doesn't exist in my brain" can help me through the place, I was able to figure out my way through the parking that I visited once more than a year ago, I did! then came the super hero me that wanted to explore a NEW entrance! saw a few employees walk in the direction to wards the "main entrance" sigh I recall seeing a few minutes back & went straight forward not making at least some distance between me & them to see where is the entrance exactly!! I ended up very close from getting into a wall, then when I looked back there was a man that looked at me with a smile & turned right & disappeared! "to him I say المعياب عند الباب", unfortunately I skipped the main entrance that was on my right a few feet before! I said to my self "yes the door was in too deep to be seen",,, it was! its like a mini hall then the door.
Any how, went inside like I was super woman walking confidently through the maze that had hallways over looking the hallway that I was looking at while walking in the hallway. Reached the lobby with my weak memory, then asked the security guy who was busy reading:
me: Excuse me I'm looking for this & that department.
him: "with a hmmmm look" قسم إيه
me: This & that.

Went to the 3rd floor
It all started when I acted smart & thought that my memory "that mainly consists of short term memory, long term memory doesn't exist in my brain" can help me through the place, I was able to figure out my way through the parking that I visited once more than a year ago, I did! then came the super hero me that wanted to explore a NEW entrance! saw a few employees walk in the direction to wards the "main entrance" sigh I recall seeing a few minutes back & went straight forward not making at least some distance between me & them to see where is the entrance exactly!! I ended up very close from getting into a wall, then when I looked back there was a man that looked at me with a smile & turned right & disappeared! "to him I say المعياب عند الباب", unfortunately I skipped the main entrance that was on my right a few feet before! I said to my self "yes the door was in too deep to be seen",,, it was! its like a mini hall then the door.
Any how, went inside like I was super woman walking confidently through the maze that had hallways over looking the hallway that I was looking at while walking in the hallway. Reached the lobby with my weak memory, then asked the security guy who was busy reading:
me: Excuse me I'm looking for this & that department.

From here & there
Thinking of the shift to wordpress ,, not sure yet ,, I kinda get attached to my things/ places I live in a lot.
تبداء حياة الانسان بدموع و صراخ، و تنتهي بدموع و صراخ، منه و من ثم ممن حوله ،، الفرق بين الولادة و الموت هو الوقت ،، بنفس اليوم وصل حفيد و غادر حفيد آخر ،، الله يرحم و يبارك
Organizing my books FINALLY, still going through magazines to clear some of them out, the biggest challenge is how to get rid of all the Vogue issues I have, I love them so much, starting from late 2004! and yes I do buy issues for the same month but for different countries :D I reached a truce with my Vogue obsession is that I would tear out the highlights of each issue I have & only keep the really really special ones! With In Style it is not as hard, although In Style is great with their mix & match pages where they give you great ideas for the every day wardrobe. Alef is a no way to be thrown kind of magazine, although the content needs more! still what they offer in it is unique.
باولا ليما - جين مونهيت ،، قريبا بهذر عنهم ،، بس على ما اخلص بحثي
كنت كاتبه فقرة بتكلم فيها عن الاضافات الصامتة بس حسيت ان الموضوع ماله اهمية :> فاااااا قررت اني اشيلها

Fracture, did not disappoint me, Antony Hopkins is GREAT in the quiet but genius type of character, I loved how he played things around, the grand court scene where he surprised them all! was my favorite, I do enjoy movies that make me think and make me smirk. One more note about this move is that Ryan Gosling's performance, he was excelent I recall him as Noah in The Notebook, however in Fracture I liked how he really pulled of the ego-filled young ambitious man that took a slap and learned that ego can take you from the high tops to down below.
Ocean's Thirteen is a big disappointment! Although making a hotel appear out of no where "replacing PH in Las Vegas Blv." was impressive ,, in IMDB a lot of interesting notes/goofs! :D

الترشيد ،، طاعة
الترشيد طاعة ،،،
لما تقولي ،، من حبنا لها نوفر لها ،، و تعلل هالشعار بنقص بمصادر الطاقة و انت تملك اكبر مخزون للنفط بالعالم و اعلى عائدات لاغلى و اهم انواع الطاقة الكربونية بالعالم و تملك الدولة التي تسيل الخيرات على الدول الاخرى و بكل صراحة تهدد بالمؤشرات الاستهلاكية بانه سيتم قطع الطاقة عنا نحن مواطني هذه الدولة الجميلة ،، اسمح لي بس صعب استوعبك و افهمك
لمّا هل رمضان صار الترشيد طاعة! انتقلنا من الترهيب الى الترغيب بس بلمسات دينية! و برمضان تم اخذ هذا المنحنى "الديني" بالتوجه الحاث على الترشيد ،، عجبي!؟
فهل تعتقد يا صاحب الشأن كائنا من تكون ،، لو بدءت الحملة بنصحنا بالترشيد ببساطة لانه "طاعة" و لانه تصرف "صحيح" بكل المفاهيم و التوجهات لن نفهمك!؟ ،، فالتبذير مرفوض دينينا و اخلاقيا هل تعتقد باننا لن نستجيب لك ؟ اضعف الايمااااان و اقل ما سيحدث ان الوعي سيزيد و ينتشر
صعب ان لا اتخيل بانه تم استغلال الدين ،، صعب ان لا اتخيل هذه الحملة التي تعتبر الحل الامثل لمشكلة دولتنا من حيث توفير الطاقة
و نحن من اغنى الدول بانه لا دخل للسرقات بها
بعيدا عن خيالي و عودة لزبدة الموضوع ،، الحمله كل مالها تزيد ملاقته ،، على الاقل خل نواكب المنطق ثم العصر و التقدم من ناحية النصح و الارشاد الوطني بطرق و شعارات اكثر وطنية و عملية و غير متقلبة حسب المناسبات الدينية او الدنيوية

A day
Shower
Work
Home
Shower
out to the Noise area : ( it was two stops, بقدرة قادر they became 5)
back Home
out to Avenues : (two stops unfortunately each is in the other end of the place, the walk was nice, but not after a long work day)
OFF TO
Laundry
Chocolate shop
Bakery
- telephone call, more demands less time -
City Center
HOME
-never the less the day did not end-
Dinner
Gift wrapping
Made a sweet dish for brother's Graish
Made salad for my work Graish
Shower
Writing a post
Sleep, I wish!
Things not achieved due to lack of time:
1- Dinner pickup, BLESS home delivery
2- Hallmark to get a big biiiiiig card for our colleague who will leave us :(
Things to be done tomorrow:
1- Early morning ,, pick up baked goods :D
2- Make an important order
3- Work!
And yes Raju is highly missed, today I realized how crucial he is, tomorrow he will be back from his home town. Yes all of them are busy bees, one of them took two tasks off my back! thank you :D
I hate it when my sleep mode gets turned off, I have this odd biological system that wants me to sleep at a certain point of time, if I fail to reply its demand at that exact time, somehow it does not let me sleep! I can not get a hold of my "sleepiness" again...
And for some reason I seem to have an appetite to write!
