waiting for the Big Weekend ;)

I know i'm New in this blog, yet i don't post regulary for many reasons; one of them is i spend most of my time at work, and i can't access my blog from there.. beside i'm having a really busy week, where i wake up and go out and return at night to sleep...
and the major reason that disourages me to blog is that the connection is so poor, which will make me loose my time for nothing :/
i'm really looking forward to this weekend enshalla.. cuz by Friday i will make a dream that i wanted long time ago to come true :)
so hope soon i will get better connection, more time to blog.
c ya then

Praying Jester


Do you know the jester when you are praying, and someone disturbs you or calls you, you slap your hands above your knees?? t9affeg be’edek chak chak.
Well I learned this jester from my mom, chak chak which usually mean o999 hehehe, I thought only our family invented it and use it.
So the other day, we had a new Indonesian servant, I was calling her name but getting no answer, I kept calling her and when I passed by her room, I heard over the closed door the famous chak chak sound… I couldn’t help my self smiling and wondering: is that an international muslims jester? Or is it because she used to work to a Kuwaiti family before. :)

Sony Marine Pack



I’m planning to have a diving license next week enshalla. I’m so excited about it, and I didn’t want to miss the chance to take underwater pictures, I’ve always wanted to do that, once in sharm el sheikh I used the disposable one it sucks, any way I went to the Sony koshk in marina to ask if they have a marine pack for my new W100 Sony camera. He said we brought about 2 and they are soled already, contact this number to provide you more info about it, I said ok but out of curiosity how much will it cost me? 98 KD he said! I looked at my friend and she looked back at me!
Isn’t that expensive? He smiled and said u can get it from Dubai in better prices, I kinda bite my nails regretting that when I was in London and Dubai I forgot to at least look for it there L
Any way I visited the Sony website and searched for it and it was about 200 $ which means it’s only 58 KDs , can any one explain the extra 40 KDs??
Why? I mean why we’re always running so late in technology market? Why they sell the electronic products more expensive here in Kuwait?

Edge or GPRS?

I have a GPRS connection from MTC for a long time now, it’s getting worse and slower every passing day, and I can’t get any calls when I’m connected… any how I’ve heard about the new Edge technology, I called them and the guy advised me to wait for this service and keep using the GPRS since the Edge or 3G is now having a lot of problems so it’s better to wait for it to settle and get better, I’m not an expert on this, I still have the old sonyerricsson W800i. So any one can advice me about upgrading my connection, besides I’m thinking of getting new sonyericsson mobile, any suggestion?

Mind Absent?

Every time I want to post a blog or even try to write anything... I have it all in my mind; suddenly I lose the connection between my brain and fingers! Why this is happening to me I don’t know... if I could write exactly what I want to, I would publish books and novels. Sometimes I have brilliant ideas and materials to write... when I tend to note them down ... poofffff! Gone :(

My head is so crowded with thoughts I want to let them go, sometimes I can’t rest or sleep with all these conversations going in my head with my self or other people that I’m gonna talk with later. Ah it’s noisy really.

In controversy... when I write something down, like a memo or a note. I can’t remember it unless I read it again!

And to make it even worse, no thanks to technology called spell check in word or dictionary in mobile, I forgot how to spell most of the words because I got used to be corrected by a software!

and when I write; I can’t get to the point and I lose connection between Ideas which makes me blah blah blah like just what I did !

No place to relax!

Why it is difficult or maybe impossible for a girl to walk alone without being followed or annoyed here in Kuwait?

Yesterday I was in Chili's with my family, and since I came in a separate car, I walked out alone... the weather was lovely and the sky is shining with half moon, it was so quiet and relaxing... I can see the reflection of the moon on the sea and it was really amusing,, I wanted a moment alone to sit on the beach and just do nothing,, I couldn't do that bcuz I didn't felt comfortable of going alone since its getting a lil bit late,, I wasn't sure if it's safe either.

Yeah there is no place to relax in Kuwait... Especially for a girl to walk alone and relax, admire the scene of the sea, or enjoying the quiet and peace of the moment...

I remember long time ago I was upset and went with my friend to sit on the beach; behind Applebee's al mangaf... it was awful... I mean the view and the weather was amazing, but u can see all the eyes staring at us since we're the only girls who happens to be alone there,

Is it something wrong to sit and chat with a friend (girls only) on the beach? Why do they make the place looks like somewhere to do bad things only!

Any how I decided that the better way for me to relax is to get an 2 hr appointment in the Spa Time ,, spoil myself a little bit and enjoy the peace there.. My favorite place J

Then I closed my eyes and imagined you holding my hands, walking bare foot on the beach, under the moonlight.

توم جيري و ابداع فنون

لفت نظري أمس في جريدة الرأي العام ص 17صورة كارتونية للفنانة القديرة حياة الفهد و الفنان القدير سعد الفرج... فرحت جدا برؤيتها و لكن فرحتي قوبلت بالاحباط عند قراءة العنوان و من ثم الموضوع.. الفنانون رافضين رفضا قاطعا فكرة تحويل عملهم الفني و هو المسلسل الاذاعي ( المقدر كاين ) الى كارتون !! بالاضافة الى رفضهم الفكرة هم معترضون أساسا على عمل قناة فنون بتحويلهم لشخصيات كارتونية بدون أخذ الاذن منهم .. و في هذه معهم حق
لكن أسباب الرفض لم تقنعني .. باعتبارهم من فنانينا القديرين شيء جميل أن يقدم لهم عمل فني كرتوني للصغار و الكبار .. مع أخذ العلم أن هذه ستكون سابقة في الأعمال الكويتية
من أسباب رفض الفنان سعد الفرج هو على حد قوله:
" لسنا توم و جيري ليحولونا الى كارتون"
توم و جيري من أقدم و أنجح الكارتونات في العالم ... لولا نجاحه لما ظل يعرض و بتكرار حتى يومنا الحاضر .. و نسبة مشاهديه هم من الكبار بقدر ماهم من الصغار. ..
كما ذكرالفنان محمد العجيمي :
" مجتمعنا لايعير أهمية لهذا النوع من الفنون و هناك فئة كثيرة ترفض الرسوم المتحركة"
من قال لانهتم ؟؟ هل تذكرون عندما عرض قطعة 13 أول مرة ؟؟ لا أقول انه عمل مثالي لكن في اليوم التالي لعرضه تجد الجميع يعلقون عليه و يقنبسون منه .. حتى كنا أنا و زملائي في الجامعة نتنافس على تقليد شخصياته.
الكويتييون ليسو مهتمين بهذه الأعمال لسبب: لا يوجد بأرشيف الكويت الفني الا كم محدود من الاعمال الكرتونية و أغلبها رديئة فلماذا يهتمون بها؟
الكويتيون كلهم يشاهدون الكارتون ... و لاتصدقوا نكرهم لذلك – أنا أتحدث عن الكبار - لأني و بأم عيني شاهدت العديد من الرجال المثقفين و الكبار، آباء وأمهات، مهندسين و محامين، مندمجين بحلقات الكارتون و بتوم و جيري ... حتى بالسينما عندما ذهبت لرؤية
Ice Age 2
الصف الذي كان جالس أمامي كله رجال ..و أعتقد أنهم ربع ديوانية وحدة و كانوا أول من يضحك و يعلق على هذا الكارتون الرائع.
فهل من أحد ينكر عدم محبة الكويتيين للكارتون ؟؟
لم لا ياسعد الفرج؟
لم لا يا حياة الفهد؟
مشواركم الفني أكبر من ان نغير نظرتنا لكم أو ينزل من مستواكم الفني الفني العريق
رؤيتكم في عمل فني كارتوني سيكون أروع شيء عرض في رمضان منذ سنين ... فلنبتعد عن الأعمال و المسلسلاات المأساوية
خذوا المجازفة و أبدعوا بهذا العمل... فكرة عبقرية من فنون.
و لنجتمع لرؤية شيء جديد :" كارتون كويتي بحت بشخصيات و أصوات كويتية قديرة"
ملاحظة للكبار فقط و بخاصة الرجال: ليس عيبا أو شيء نستحي منه أن تشاهدوا توم و جيري أو أي كارتون آخر
فهل تشاركوني الرأي؟

Discover the 90/10 Secret: It will change your life

 

Long Post but realy useful

Motivational Articles | November 20, 2001

The 90/10 secret is incredible! Very few know and apply
this secret. The result? Millions of people are suffering
undeserved stress, trials, problems, and heartache. They
never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad
days. Terrible things seem to be constantly happening.
Their is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken
relationships. Worry consumes time, anger breaks
friendships, and life seems dreary and is not enjoyed to
the fullest.. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often
seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do not be
discouraged. You can be different!. Understand and apply
the 90/10 secret. It will change your life! What is this
secret?

10% of life is made up of what happens to you.
90% of life is decided by how you react.

What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of
what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking
down. The plane may be late arriving, which throws our
whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We
have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different.
You determine the other 90%! How? By your reaction. You
cannot control a red light, but you can control your
reaction. Don't let people fool you, YOU can control how
you react! Let's use an example.

You're eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter
knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You
have no control over what just happened. What happens next
will be determined by how you react.

You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking
the coffee cup over. She breaks down in tears. After
scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize them
for placing the cup to close to the edge of the table. A
short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change
your shirt. Back downstairs you find your daughter has been
to busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for
school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave
immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your
daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40
miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.. After a 15 minute
delay and throwing $60 away, you arrive at school. Your
daughter runs to the building without saying good-bye.
After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you
forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it
continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look
forward to going home. When you arrive home you find small
wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.
Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning.

Why did you have a bad day? ___
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the Policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is d. You had no control over what happened
with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is
what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and
should have happened.

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry.
You gently say "It's OK honey, you just need to be more
careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs.
After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase. You come
back down in time look through the window and see your
child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You and your
spouse kiss before you both go to work. You arrive 5
minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss
comments on how good of day you are having.

Notice the difference. Two different scenarios. Both
started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how
you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of
what happens. The other 90% is determined by your reaction.
Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 secret.

=> If someone says something negative about you, do not be
sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You do
have to let the negative comment affect you! React
properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction
could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting
stressed out, etc.

=> How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do
you loose your temper? Pound the steering wheel? (A friend
of mine had the steering wheel fall off!) Do you curse?
Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump
them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work?
Why let the blue car ruin your drive. Remember the 90-10
principle, and do not worry about it!

=> You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep or get
irritated? It will work out. Use your "worrying" energy and
time into finding another job.

=> The plane is late. It is going to mangle your schedule
for
the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight
attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use
your time to study, get to know the other passenger Free Web Content , etc.
Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.

You now know the 90-10 secret. Apply it and you will be
amazed at the results.

Answer this Riddle:

A lemon = 1 fils/piece

An orange = 20 fils/piece

An apple = 50 fils/piece

You have 1 KD (1,000 fils)

You have to buy 100 pieces of fruit with that limit of 1 KD.. you have to spend it all

Solve... by telling me how many pieces of each fruit you bought!

GOOD LUCK

Good morning Kuwait

Laish e7na kel yoom el 9eb7 ngoom nro7 el dawam?

Laish el dawam mayyena?



The problem is that we all net7al6am of getting up in the morning and heading to the work, ok then simply don’t go to work.

When u decides not going to work what will u do really? Sleep? Go shopping? Go to the shalaih or the beach? Then what to do in the weekend?

After I graduated last year, I decided to stay at home for a while, then I was too lazy to apply at any job, dewan el khedma was not an option but yet it wasn’t open by the time, the while turned into months, the months turned into a year ella shahar (hence 11 months) all this time I was jobless, sleep turned over most of the time, I did everything I could do , starting from painting workshops, learning to cook in the middle of night where everyone was sleeping and I’m starving since my last meal (breaklunch) was about 5-6pm! Tried to build a hobby, I discovered I like candles, I learned how to make them, start my small project, I made at home a really nice collection of scented colored candles, sold most of them, and gave some of them as a gift, and stopped! Oh my god I never continue anything, not my cooking, not my painting in the work shop till now, not the candle making, the best thing I did is the big make over for my room ( our room – me and sis )

The result was great everyone loved it, 7asafa I didn’t have any pics of the old messy room, but now i'm happy yeey: D I will celebrate my new room with my birthday 22nd of September this year enshala.

Any way after all the laziness I’ve been through, all the ups and mostly downs of feeling useless in this life. I started just sitting at home and relaxing and enjoying it (oh by the way I also joined a gym for a whole year and attended only 1 month in Ramadan)

I concluded that:

All the Kuwaiti people especially the youngsters complain about their study or work. If they don’t have any or in a vacation they complain about the Malal in Kuwait! People stop it! We are bored bcuz we mostly have everything, and have the choice to go out whenever we want, buy whenever need and don’t need, travel any time , kashta bel mo7atharat or dawam. So we are brats, spoiled aren’t we?

We should start appreciation all the bliss’s we have and had (no enough space to mention them) start to pray to god and say el 7emdella 3ala kel 7al.

Look at what happening to the world, tsunamis and earthquakes, wars in Lebanon, Iraq and almost everywhere, and we are sitting in starbucks, marina or eating sushi with friends.

So at the end we shall all say:

الحمد لله على كل حال

و من نظر الى مصيبة غيره هانت عليه مصائبه
