I'm back

I've been back for a couple of days...hopefully will start blogging again!

Happy Eid!

I hope everyone is having fun and relaxing in this wonderful hoilday!

Gather as much money as possible :P and goodluck!

Quick update

I've been lacking for my blog sometime..I think it's because i've moved from Kuwait and starting the course here in the UK. I feel no attachment to this place. But I've nearly finished classes, so maybe I will discuss some of my adventures here and there. It's been weird but an amazing experiance!

I promise to try keep my blog alive again.

New month...New semester!

I've had a little break and now I'm back again. But seriously I've become blank about what to write about on my blog. It feels weird that I'm not in Kuwait for such a long time, but I actually got used to living alone! Just a few more months and I'll be done, hopefully.

Thats all for now!

Announcement: My New Home

I have moved and currently studying my postgraduate course in the UK. Yes, finally I'm doing something useful with my life and YES this was what my countdown was all about which I wanted to tell you about.It's been hectic and only yesterday I found a suitable apartment to live in.

What can I say? Well staying in the "heart of the city" means staying in the "heart of the noise and drunks". The streets r steeeeeeeeeeep so for the first few days my legs were suffering, I'm really enjoying it though. It's getting tougher to deal with the work load and the amount of rain. I have forgotten that the weather is very unpredictable. As most of my readers know I love the sun. I'm trying to  focus on looking at the "bright side".

I feel at home as I've lived here before anyways, however, the university life here is great and so different to KU. Truly another world. I still don't get the weird dress code and the clashing of colours and styles. I'll keep you more updated when I have more interesting news and time!

Haya Abdulsalam and her HOT bro! هيا عبدل سلام و اخوها

The Other NBK Eid Ad. 2010 - دعايه البنك الوطني نبي عيديه

Everyone kept telling me to watch this...I didn't actually like it...what about you guys? I like the original advert but my sister made a good observation. This isn't actually good for children because it encourages them to be materialistic and wanting money in a disrespectful way. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the kids' dancing! They look like fun kids and the dresses the girls were wearing were really pretty.

Anyways, what do you guys think of this "other NBK ad"?

 ************

UPDATE: Another cute version.




CUTE! I luv it when kid's dance, but what's up the the white thing on their hands?

Enjoy again :D

Zawarat Khamees Episode -30 - زوارة خميس - الحلقة الأخيرة

Ends with a DEATH and a BIRTH, just like the other show "Umayma". Honestly, it is a very disappointing ending. Many things could have been cut out and replaced with a events to make a better plot. I'm not saying it's a bad show, but it needed an extra edge to it. I really enjoyed the series and am glad that the Kuwaiti series's style is improving  and changing. It isn't perfect and there needs a bit more work to have been done, however, it is the one of the things I enjoyed in Ramadan. The fact that the writer involved new ideas and latest issues is great!

What did you guys think?

Eidkum Embarek & Kil 3am wa Intow Bekhair

Waking up with a headache in Eid can be something great and bad...At least I'm not fasting...Al7amdullah!
But when your head is spinning...You kind of wish it would go away...Enjoy this day and share with me all the things that you did...

Asnan Clinic 2010 - Part 1 & 2 دعاية اسنان كلينك - جزء

The BEST advert Ramadan 2010!

Totally didn't expect it to have a second part!

ENJOY!

P.S: Is the guy really Pakistani or is that just a rumor? 

I know the girl is Kuwaiti or I might be wrong? 

Nevertheless GREAT AD!

Warranty Ruined the Laptop's System.

Why is it when you take your laptop to the dealers to fix it they bring it back with even more problems?

Two days ago I decided it was time to check  why my fan was making so much noise. It usually bothers me when the room is really quiet. So I stayed up and went to the company. The first impression I got from the place is that there wasn't anyone at the front desk, even though they said that working hours start at 9:30am and I was there at around 9:45am.

I was sent in to the customer service and the man looked like he didn't know where God has thrown him! I told him that the fan makes noises every once in a while. So he was like leave it and we will check it. I told him I will wait. So I sat waiting for almost 45 minutes then I took the laptop home and was so happy I wanted to go shopping! When I quickly switched the laptop on I realised that the wireless wasn't working. I got SOOO MAD! I had to go back quickly and asked him what he had done and why this has happened!? He said it's because I put it on stand by for a long time. EXCUSE ME! I told him I put my laptop most of the time on hiberanate...again he looked at me funny not understanding a word I was saying. He said all he had done is clean the fans and didn't touch the system. He fixed it again and I went home.

The same night I was trying to take pictures out of my flash and the USB ports weren't working, except one. I was SO MAD. What did he do? Why was my system failing all of a sudden? There was nothing wrong with it before! I couldn't sleep all night and was waiting for get to the company. I went and told him you ruined my laptop...and again he repeats telling me he didn't touch the system! Ya3ny who could have done it then? I told him to fix it and he took the laptop saying he had to format. I refused! There wasn't anything wrong with it!

I don't know whats happened and they didn't inform me, but I will have to call today and check again. I hope they don't have a hoilday :/

Sorry for my rant...but NEVER EVER take your computer to the company, unless you trust them. Now I have a VERY VERY VERY bad image of the company and if I get the chance I would complain to the manager.

Now I have to wait to get someone elses laptop :/

So Marzoug was diagnosed with MS? The nose bleeds must have been one of the symptoms.

Eid Mubarak- عيد مبارك

Eid Mubarak to all readers and bloggers. 

I hope that you enjoyed this blessed holy month and ready for the celebration!

Strands Salon in Fanar Kuwait

I want to cut my hair. Most likely after Eid and I usually go to Strands. Does anyone know a similar place I could go to instead? Do you have suggestions of how I should cut my hair? I like short hair but don't know what I should do. I want something trendy and easy to style. I will search for pictures and ask you what you think. We can do a vote too! How does that sound? Too many questions? I will catch you all later. Don't forget to let me know your ideas. Email me any pictures. We will make a post with the pictures and have a VOTE!

Zawarat Khamees Episode - زوارة خميس - الحلقة- 26

 

 





I liked this episode. I think this is a lesson for the men in the house. They didn't feel anything when they were doing the same to their wives. But (9ub7an Allah) when it happened to their mum, they didn't like the feeling and got so angry. I feel so bad for the people that are married to the person they love for so long then something like that happens to them. Imagine the pain..the confusion..the regret..the feeling of emptiness. In some way or another, we are all put in situations where we feel like we don't understand what's happening to ourselves or the world. I think that Thnayan is going through a mid-life crises. I wonder what will happen next!??

Hey..is it true that the events leaked out and spread around Kuwait? Is it false info? or Did what they say actually happen??

P.S: If you missed the episode! Watch it!

NBK's Eid Ad. 2010 - Ana B3d Aby 3eedyaaaa!

But I'm not gonna dance. I LOVE it! It's so cute. I'm sure you've all already seen it, but just in case you didn't, I had to share. The other adverts that they had this Ramadan weren't that amazing.

ENJOY!

Thanks Frankom for sharing!

Todays episode really bothered me because most the woman were treated terribly, when they weren't the one's who made a mistake! MOST of the woman here are true victims. :/

"المرأة ضحية بإسم "جرائم الشرف"- Kuwaiti Woman are Victims of "Honor Crimes"

كتبت آمنة بهزاد

بيّن القانون الجزائي الكويتي أن عقوبة جريمة الشرف تعد من العقوبات المخففة للرجل ، ومن المعروف أن صاحب الشرف الذي يراق على جوانبه الدم رجل لا امرأة ، وهذه نتيجة طبيعية للمجتمعات الشرقية الأبوية التي تعتبر المرأة عرض الرجل و شرفه ، ولكن أليس من الظلم أن تخفف العقوبة للرجل دون المرأة ؟ و ماذا إن رأت المرأة خيانة زوجها لم لا يحق لها إهدار دمه كما يفعل هو إن كانت في نفس وضعه .
و قد نصت المادة 153 من قانون الجزاء الكويتي بأن " من فاجأ زوجته حال تلبسها بالزنا ، أو فاجأ ابنته أو أمه أو أخته حال تلبسها بمواقعة رجل لها ، وقتلها في الحال أو قتل من يزني بها أو يواقعها أو قتلهما معا ، يعاقب بالحبس مدة لا تجاوز ثلاث سنوات وبغرامة لا تجاوز ثلاثة آلاف روبية أو بإحدى هاتين العقوبتين" .
و في هذا الإطار ذكرت مؤلفة كتاب "جريمة بإسم الشرف" "رنا الحسيني" أن جريمة الشرف هي قيام الذكور سواء كان شقيقا أو أبا أو زوجا أو عما أو خالا، بتولي عملية القضاء البشعة علي حياة الأنثى بذريعة غسل "عار الأسرة" ، و أضافت يعتقد الكثيرون أن هذه الجرائم ذات صلة بالإسلام و لكن هذه الجرائم ترتكب في كل الأديان.
و من جانب آخر شددت المحامية الكويتية "ذكرى الرشيدي" في بيان سابق لها على ضرورة العدالة بين الرجل و المرأة في العقوبة ، مؤكدة أن الشريعة الإسلامية لا تميز في العبادات والأفعال فلذلك لو أخذ الرجل الرخصة في قتل زوجته التي وجدها في وضع مخل بالآداب ، لابد أن تأخذ المرأة الرخصة نفسها للوضع نفسه

I was shocked when I heard about this. Honestly, I didn't think it was true. Is this really possible? Do people follow these rules? Why are women always victims? What else is there we don't know about? It makes me so sad. I just don't get all this.What has happened to our world!

I had to share this with everyone and let you tell me what you think.

Because...REALLY...REALLY...REALLY all I can say is:

NO COMMENT !
