Al-Fanar 2006/2007 Winter Decoration

I love Al-Fanar's decoration always attracts me, this winter they had this lovely decoration, the best thing about it is that it concentrates on the main hip new colors to pair (Gold + Purple) this couple was hip from the last year and still, it was introduced widely in different fashion shows/ brands.... Of course different shades of (Gold + Purple) will change the equation and make it suit a lot of purposes/ people/ skin colors! you name it

Even if I can get my stuff from an other complex/ mall that has more shops that I need, Al-Fanar is a must go to every week or two :)

I fixed it!

كان عندي مشكله بالكمبيوتر و حيرتني فتره طويييله و لاني وحده عنيده لازم احل المشكله بنفسي و استنفذ كل الحيل و العقل اللي عندي بعدين افكر باللجوء إلى الفنيين المختصين و هم لاني اؤمن بفكرة ان الحياة اتعلّم أحب اكرف عمري و استفيد، و في ليلة اليأس و القرار بأن أحل مشكلتي عند المختصين صباح اليوم الأحد! انحلت المشكله بعد جهد جهيد و زيارة لمواقع مللتني بس النتيجه خلتني انسى اللي تعبته خلال ساعتين :) و لهذا قررت اكتب هالحادثة باللجهة اللي انا نفسي ما ادري اهي عاميه ولا فصحى! بس المهم انها من قلبي

بالنهاية اكتشفت اني ما ادري وين دقمه حيوية! و بعد مالقيتها تميت افكر هل كل اللي سويته كان له داعي ولا لاء؟ مادري ولا راح ادري بس تعلمت درس مهم اليوم

القراءة و معرفة كل حيثيات المنتج اللي انت قاعد تكرفه أهم من إستخدامه

Brain storming

but its done & uploaded now :D I wrote about Kuwait Towers since they are the first thing that pops into my mind when I want to show Kuwait to a forigner :)

Deera-Chat !!!!!!!!

I got an e-mail today form the Deera-Chat family "as they call them selves" to advertise for their PodCast :} as soon as I checked their blog out

http://deera-chat.blogspot.com/

I found this tiny introduction right on the right hand bar saying ::

What the heck is a PODCAST?!
Podcasting, a portmanteau of Apple's "iPod" and "broadcasting", is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically by subscription, usually at no cost. It first became popular in late 2004, used largely for audio files.


Soooooo as usual I had no time! "mother needs me as her driver" so quickly I clicked the tiny box up on the side bar saying "Subscribe with iTunes" ,, immediately the download in iTunes starts, hooked my NaNo got the PodCast "as if am a pro with this new to me! مصطلح " heard it.



The PodCast "again am showing off that I know a new مصطلح " is called [ The REAL sushi episode] I will not ruin it by saying what it was about & how the conversation went, however I have my notes:

• Two Kuwaiti guys talking in a simple free every day kind of chat way, but it was fun :}
• Its exciting to hear a simple conversation & personal opinions about a common "phenomenon" if I may say that about what they discussed.
• A change from the usual blog theme where you rely on ur reading abilities.
• What I mostly liked is the Arabic-English mix with a Kuwaiti accent, felt very close and young.

I am totally pro this new hip thing :) I liked it I encourage every one to hear it, listen to What Musaed & Ali has to say. As they stated in their FIRST PodCast that they are open for suggestions on topics to talk about...

I never tried Sushi and probably after this I will try it seriously, sure I ate a few bites but not like a serious SUSHI dinner although its hip nowadays but I didn't!! However I can't resist commenting on what Musaed kept advising us to try the TEBENyakki I mean Musaed if you want to let me think of eating Sushi at least start with like a 3ASSALyakki, ZALABYAyakki, I mean I was like HUH!! ok cultural difference, then it comes again & again oo Musaed raves about how great this TEBENyakki is & am laughing my head off , I mean no offence to the Sushi I know the name was not intended but what can I do, I have a Kuwaiti twisted mind? Still I think am curious enough to try it out....

192 countries

Interesting new blog

http://topics192.blogspot.com/

I got lucky to be randomly picked to represent Kuwait by Mr. Shinji from Tokyo, Japan "Thank you". I may not be the best person to do this but I will try my best. This project is very unique & interesting to me, since its a young one & done by common everyday type of people it is fun & not as intimidating as it may seem when you come to think of representing your country :)

I will try to be simple & Handel the main lines about Kuwait, will not go through politics or any other controversial issues. The assistance & suggestions from all Kuwaiti bloggers is more than welcome in fact its why I wrote this post :} I will need & appreciate your help.....


The idea behind 192 countries is to gather 192 writers (bloggers) from 192 countries to talk a little about their countries & know a little about other countries. This project lets the saying "the world is a small village" become a reality in a simple virtual mean of communication.

Wish me luck :D

Lovely Rain

Kuwait is amazing this time of the year, especially NOW that its raining :)

Afternoon Chill

My Companion in this lovely winter afternoon, if you like apple pie? you will like this tea

الجو عجيب، و المزاج هااااادي و مع فرانك سيناترا

Come Fly With Me

شكو فرانك سيناترا الحين مادري!؟

What to blog about

Politics is on the top of the list but I'm trying haaaard to avoid it!

I do not know weather its a curse that comes along with age! All I know is that I hate it because its a big dirty game controlled by people we do not have much effect on. However what made me feel good is that the people's voice did change things, it was pretty loud.

بس هذا حدي ما ابي ادش بتفاصيل بعد

As for Kuwait weather wise! It is truly amazing this time of the year :} my advice to all ENJOY it to the maaaaaax, we will not have this weather for looong 9 months.




The WHITE psp has been my pal for the past two moths, its a new good gadget & its all white :} LOCOROCO made me buy it in the begging (I finished the whole game in a week, noting that my last game addiction was with SEGA of course SONIC ;p so am pretty old dated with this), soon it became my number 1 entertainment tool with its browsing ability & playing/storing different kinds of media made it a great addition to my day.

Where am I ?

Can you tell?





P.S: This post is dedicated to Purgatory :> Since you asked about it.

لبنان

بلد الحرية النابضة بالحياة و بلد الاغتيالات السياسية، بلد الثقافة و الانفتاح و بلد كتم المثقفين/ القياديين في حال معاداته لاهداف اخرين ممن يمتلكون القدرة على القتل

الاغتيالات السياسية لازمت تاريخ لبنان مابعد و قبل الحرب الأهلية، هذا البلد البسيط والجميل يحمل بطياته جراح و تناقضات تفوق قدرة كل الحرية و التعددية التي يحويها على محاولة معالجتها

أكثر ما يقلقني و اذهلني سهولة القتل! الروح البشرية فقدت حرمتها امام جريمة الاختلاف الفكري! كل من تم استهدافه مؤخرا هم قادة و مسيرون للشعب باتجاه تيار ما، ولكن هل قتلهم سيقتل ذلك التيار؟ و هل اللبنانيين سيفقدون شخصية القائد بالاجيال القادمة؟

الذي لا افهمه هو لما القتل و وراء المقتول تيار كامل؟ و بحالة لبنان كما نرى فان قتل الرأس لا يزيد الجسد الا قوة و إصرار و ينمي روح الانتقام! فلما الاغتيال؟ لا انوي الدخول بالتفاصيل و تحليل التيارات الموجودة حاليا من أمل او حزب الله او الكتائب او او او ،، ولا حتى مدى صحة افكار احدهم او كلهم، الهدف من التعدديه و جمالها حين تختلط بالديموقراطية هو ابراز الافظل لدى كل توجه و حزب، مما يتماشى مع مصلحة البلد، ولكن ما اراه بمثال لبنان هو توطد جذور العنصرية و حب الانفراد بالسلطة لتوجه دون الآخر "ولا تتميز لبنان وحده بهذه الميزه عندنا و عندهم خير فالسلطة مغرية" وبذلك تغتال الحرية و تصبح مهمشة، و التعددية تزرع العنصرية بدلا من التميز و امتزاج الثاقافات الصحيّ

This & That

- I hate the fact that I forget a lot! Now I totally forgot weather I got my friend her B-Day gift or not! The dilemma is that this year there was no party or dinner! I gave most of my friends their gifts in person either during the day or even at work! Yes my schedule was that hectic... The thing is that its embarrassing to ask :) knowing a lot of people is not easy!!

- http://www.rasamusic.com/ cool music

- Book review coming up, I read a few books in the past few months that I will try to write reviews about.

- Open Season is hmmm so so! But its definitely not something to be missed if not seen :)

- When I visited this site (http://www2.warnerbros.com/happyfeet/) purgatory was the 1st to pop into my mind :D

- How much space is exposed in a picture can make the difference... The amount of what you see in the picture exposes that much ONLY, do not be fooled when you see a picture of a beautiful rose showing how red & bloomed it is, always keep in mind the possibility that you can see a bad part of it, could be thorns or even dead leaves! Same goes for people :)

Grendizer

A site worth visiting, which is not so impressive design wise, but as for the content! Its very rich & the person behind it is I think called Wasim "this is the thing I missed the most the WHO WE ARE page" he did a lot of work :) a lot of pictures, comments on pictures, he spoke about the characters, etc... The site is sooooooooo full of stuff worth seeing, I thank Bo-Maryoum for letting me know about this site through his latest post :>

Oh one more thing he also sells DVDs :D

عاد و العود أحمدُ

تذكرون

الحمد لله و عاد الأسد الى عرينه و هالحجي اللي يقولونه مادري شنو بس المهم ،، بو مريوم رد. الارتباط مع المدونين فكرياً الى ان تحسهم من افراد الاسره شي جميل، احس اكو شي راقي شي انساني يربطنا :) يمكن من خلال المدونات اقدر اسوالف مع من كان بدون لا يحكم علي او يصنفني ظمن منظوره الخاص! بنفس الوقت اكلم عقل الشخص مو شكله او علاقاته الاجتماعيه، عموما ما ابي افلسف الامور بزياده! بهالمساحه الانترنتيه لي اخوان و اخوات و بو مريوم منهم،، الحمد لله على السلامه

تسأل عنك العافيه

بعد انقطاع فتره طويله، اسأل و اسولف وترد

"تسأل عنج العافيه"

سرحت و فكّرت بهالجمله اللي تتردد بين الناس و المقصود ان؟؟؟ ما تشتهي العافيه عندي فا تبيها تسأل عني؟ او اني فاقده العافيه علشان الناس تطلبها تسأل عني؟ "ما اقصد ظن السوء بس الجمله عبيطه" ادري ان معناها مدحه اوكلمه مهذبه علشان تمدح السؤال عن الاخر و تبريره بمجرد الوصل لا اكثر

لان بهالوقت تبي تتصل باحد معناته تبي شي،، بس لو نفكر فيها لغوياً فيها شي غلط! او مخي انا غلط؟ مادري

ليش ما نقول، عساك دوم بخير و عافيه، او!! اذا لازم فيها كلمة تسأل نقول عسى ما تسأل عنك العافيه، من باب ان العافيه ملازمه للشخص على طووول فا شنو حاجتها انها تسأل عنّه ؟؟ :> اعتقد ان لها منطق بهالحالة

الدكتور أحمد الربعي

حبيت اعلق صورته بالمدونه ،، لانه يرفع الراس و احبه

عسى الله يشافيه و يعافيه

مبارك عليكم الشهر قديمه

ولو انها متاخره بس مبارك عليكم الشهر

Pictures talk, this will be my new slogan until I can get me to write again :)

مسلسل الامبراطوره، فجر السعيد اشفيها؟ اهي تحاول تسوي مسلس خيالي؟ ،، ما ودي اسولف اكثر لاني ما شفت اكثر من الاختطاف و حمرة الهام الفظالة اللي حطوا على حلجها اللزاق و شالوه و للحينها اتلق و حتى الملمع ما تأثر

What is it with people adding you on the IM and not talking to you nor introducing them selves? They turn into a number in the contact list, why is that?

الزحمه اتنرفز! تو الناس يكتشفون الكويت؟ مادري شالقصه بس كل خلق الله بالشارع الكويت اتخرررع!! يمكن لاني كنت مستمتعه فيها بالصيف ؟

New every thing on the way, am happy :D

افتقر لتنظيم الوقت، المفروض اكتسب هالمهاره بوقت قريب! مدى تفرغي لاني اكتب بمدونتي بيكون احد المقاييس و الله يستر

حملة Enough is Enough

مع تقديري الشديد لرأي و رغبة بو مريوم شنو ماكانت ،، و لحد إتضاح الصورة

انا مع
