Some said, the poor houses that are featured in the mosalsal are considered fancy to them

I mentioned that we don’t walk around wrapped in textiles of every colour and texture, chained in all the jewellery our hands can reach and body can endure, wearing full clown with Dracula influenced makeup!

Walking around the house in pyjamas and morning kishas is a daily scene in some houses

A shocking question, do we all have body guards!! Apparently, there is a mosalsal featuring a Kuwaiti family with body guards!!!

My answer: ROFL!!! Wein qa3deeeeen.

Some questions are beyond my comprehension, is it true that the wealthy “sho3araa” poets steal poems from the poor ones! How would I know! And isn’t that a global concept, rich always taking from the poor. This concept isn’t applicable only to individuals, its proven for companies, countries, HELL even worlds, if another one existed.

A cute question was what does “machbooos” mean YUM YUM. I explained the dish. But the question, why is it called “Machbooos” and not “Chicken with Rice”.

عاد في فلسفة ورا كلمة كبس\جبس اللي اهي من أصل مجبوس

LOL, wallah madree did I explain it right walla laaa!

oo lazim football being mentioned! I look for a wall of shame to hide behind But as all faces were staring I declared, our football team sucks BIG time, thank GOD for Yemen in the gulf tournament, our sucking isn’t a standalone, fee wa7id we can beat. We were good, we crashed, we crashed even more, a little more … ba3ad more … I don’t know till when, but we will rise again

Questions about gays and lesbians in Kuwait, another mosalsal dealing with this issue I guess.

Some were interested in our politics Our majlis omma is a mosalsal by itself!

I say there is some truth to our mosalsalat, a minor one, that is buried under the drama, extreme extravaganza, shoving of million story lines down the scenario throat, commercialisation, etc.

I tell them: “شوفو مسلسلاتنا زمان أول” ohhh and one more thing, please please please “لا تشوفون مسرحياتنا الحين”

But seriously, I always criticise and point the wrongs, but compared to other countries, especially Arab ones, we are doing better in terms of living standards and human rights.

Please do not say “الله لا يغير علينا”, I prefer “الله يغير علينا للأحسن انشاالله”

Prayers are rarely answered?

Has GOD taken a step back?

Or have we?

Has GOD stopped giving?

Or have we quit appreciating?

Am I crossing the line, in voicing out my thoughts!

I wonder why GOD has not quit on us already. Why the world has not collapsed. Why we don’t burst into flames.

Not because we don’t pray, we don’t believe, we don’t thank …

We destroy, we kill each other with words, we stomp and shout, wipe it all off and start again. It’s the simple things.

We brush off the little things that slowly penetrate solid structures and nibble away, bringing it all down piece by piece!

I ask why, when I’m down and under, when I’m hurting …

Where are you, as I rest my forehead, on my hands and knees, and pray … please don’t leave me …

Asking the very question GOD can ask!!!

Where are you?

Where were you?

When I’m high and above, dazed in happiness, I smile, I stretch and laugh, I giggle, I go higher and higher, until in the background I remember, it comes to me, OH yes Thank You!

Taking many things for granted …

Still I wonder … wait … stop …

I dare not voice my objections, in fear of them becoming my excuses, my arguments …

Prayers are answered, we just don’t pay attention.

We look for them in what we ask … Not in what we have …

We look for them in moments of despair … Not in moments of peace …

We look for them when we are on our knees … Not when standing tall …

They are answered … we just stopped believing … please forgive me.

You need to fill out a form and this form is not available online, you either have to go to the headquarters in London or they’ll mail it to you. Weird, you’d think it is a super form, it is a lousy un-scanable, the printed form is so badly scanned and indented, it is pathetic!

You need to provide four photos with a blue background. The official photographs in UK are with a white background. I ended up having my photo snapped in the middle of Jessop with a white background and told them back home to photoshop in the blue background.

Also, you need to write an official letter to “مسئول الشئون القنصلية” stating that you are student, where you study, your address and the person who’s going to renew your passport information.

I filled the form, popped in the photographs, the official letter and passport and sent them off to the embassy in UK. According to the embassy official, all should arrive to Kuwait by Monday.

Almost all my official identification end in 2010! My passport, my civil ID and my Kuwaiti bank card!! 3ad I do not know how I’m going to handle my bank card, I need to call KFH.

I’m coming back passport-less, bank card-less, civil ID-less! Yeah and I think my car back home isn’t working Actually the A/C isn’t working, but it is all the same to me, NO A/C is NO use

Five hundred years in the future, a renegade crew aboard a small, spacecraft tries to survive as they travel the unknown parts of the galaxy and evade warring factions as well as authority agents out to get them

I heard a lot about this show, but didn’t get around to watch it. I’ve watched the movie spin-off “Serenity” and it was good. I decided to go ahead and watch the TV show. It is amazing! Why did they cancel it, I’m not sure.

It has all the elements, it is well written, funny, realistic, not boring and so much more. I’ve watched all 14 episodes and it left me wanting more

You got to LOVE the weather here. You actually see the four seasons There is autumn, winter, spring and summer.

Green is a different colour over here. Wonderful flowers are blooming all over the place. Colourful bees flying. Insects that crawl all over the place. Even the fat flies. All bundled as an amazing experience.

My pictures aren’t doing any justice to what I’m seeing with my eyes. I’ll post more once I get some good ones.

Here’s a weird bug that stuck to my trainings. So many exciting new insects.

Of course a cloud has to pass by blocking the sun It is UK after all.

“اليوم الغدا عندي”

“لااااا مابي أتعبج … مالا داعي”

“عادي اشفيج … أنا بسوي بسوي و بحسب احسابج معاي”

“متاكده أخاف وايد عليج”

and it goes like this everytime.

Here’s how when she invites me over.

“اليوم الغدا عندي”

“OK”

Unless I ate or am tired, I accept invitations Madree, maybe the social thing is to say NO at first.

Today I bought meat. Here’s moi multitasking

My neighbour was saying that her laptop scared her starting by itself at 3 AM from hibernate mode.

MINE TOO!!!

How weird is that, both of us at the same exact time.

I went back to the last changes that have happened, a windows update just installed itself, you know the one where it doesn’t care about your updates “download only configuration” option.

The laptop required a restart to finalise the update, but I didn’t want to do that, just to see if the behaviour repeats itself and of course it did. Next day, 3 AM the laptop came to life on its own!

I restarted and now a new problem is occurring, everytime my screensaver comes up after an inactivity period and I wiggle my finger about on the mouse pad, the bluescreen failure occurs!

I think it has something to do with the display driver causing the whole laptop to fail. I’m not sure. I just took a copy of my latest folder that I’m working on.

DAMN you Microsoft! I think

• Many book stores available, I go in and loose myself
• Amazon UK, my basket always has items in them. It is hard to resist the click to order and have your items delivered within one week.
• Again my life style, when waiting for the bus, I can be waiting for upto 30 minutes and so I sit or lean against the wall and read. Since I’m not driving and I’m the passenger, I read while in the bus or train until I get dizzy
• Everyone around you is reading, it really helps and is an open source for book recommendations and a good conversation starter. “ohhh, I read this book, it is very interesting and a good read”.

I’ve read a lot of light books lately, when I’ve got so much going on, I need to ease and relax my mind a bit or it’ll explode. The three books were:

• His other lover by Lucy Dawson.”A crazy woman fighting for her sorry excuse of a man“. This novel proves that women are crazy when it comes to their man! They do not acknowledge common sense and they loose grip of reality.
• Getting rid of Matthew by Jane Fallon. I liked “Foursome” more, it was so much funnier.
• My best friend’s girl by Dorothy Koomson. I enjoyed this book very much, it was light and entertaining. I didn’t know how it’ll end till I finished reading the book.

And the last book was “Precious” by Sapphire, I just felt really appreciative of my life and the circumstances I live in. You’ll feel so blessed while reading this book.

On my to read list.

I picked this Stieg Larsson because of all the hype about the brilliance of his novels and I chose his first one. The second book by Kathryn Stockett, I just stumbled upon while Amazon-ing
