first day at work after a not-so-refreshing vacation..

I was sitting in my office this morning with my colleague “working” ..

when we started hearing some continuous honking..

it continued around 10 minutes .. that’s when I got curious and looked out the window..

there was this guy in his black land cruiser totally blocked by an inconsiderate “someone”..

the poor guy had his window down and kept honking to no avail..

he was there for an additional 15 minutes .. and that was around noon so you could imagine the heat !!!

Anyway.. we went to a meeting and luckily when we came back he was gone..

I wonder if a fight happened !!

The view on a regular day

The view from my office in Sharq..

I usually have a perfect view of Kuwait Towers..

Not Today ..

I received this email today from a dear friend of mine.. I loved it..

One Flaw In Women

  IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

we live life in the fast lane..

we lose track of what’s important..

we get carried away and blinded by materialistic things..

we measure our lives with what we own rather than what we’ve achieved..

we lose focus of the reason why we’re here.. and forget our purpose..

I remind myself.. I awaken my senses.. but soon again..

forget…

on the way back from work.. 2 in the afternoon .. in the July heat…

too quiet.. despite the loud sound of the airconditioner ..

I give myself a wakeup call..

a reality check..

and I listen to this  

Today during lizwarah (family gathering) the civil defence sirens sounded at around 3:45 p.m. We ignored it, but the funny thing is that my grandmother was convinced that there must be something wrong !

I told her,, beleive me .. if something REALLY happens, the sirens WILL NOT SOUND ! lol

Anyhow, it was on tv that they sounded off by mistake ! I wonder how that is possible ….

I’m posting from a Mac PowerBook G4 12″ beauty ! I love it…

and since Mac creative as ever, has embedded windows in its computers along with the Mac OS so that you can start which ever OS you want..  My next laptop is DEFFINITLY going to be a MAC

It’s been a week since the elections. An almost normal week.. 6akhainah but not quite..

this means one thing….

We can go back to writing NONSENSE !!!

I want to transfer my blog to my domain.. I thought I knew how to.. apparantly not..

till I get it figured out.. this remains my little corner on the web..

(as if anyone comes here!)

When I got there, it was already 8:30 a.m. The street was jammed and we were not allowed to park in the school’s parking lot. I had to park somewhere, and so with my son  (a three year old who wouldn’t let me go out without him !!) walked towards the entrance. Dozens of girls (ages ranging 10-30 yrs old) dressed in candidates’ t-shirts rushed with flowers and flyers..

Unfortunately, the girls of Jamal Al-Omar were a majority. When they had the nerve to come to me and say “لاتنسين ولدنا جمال العمر” or something like “هالله هالله بجمال” , I would laugh directly in their faces !!

تعوذت من ابليس وقلت يابنت الحلال لاتردين عليهم لا تطلعلج وحده ملسونه.. ما يسوى عليج

So I went in.. and was liking the whole thing because it’s history for me and all Kuwaiti women..

The line was loooong , very unorganized, we basically had to know who’s the lady infront of us in line , and stick with her. And I happened to sit between two very nice ladies, one of them actually organized the whole thing for the organizers! (mashkoorah:) )

I waited for 1:45 hrs to go in and cast my vote. I ticked the names of my candidates and prayed as I folded the paper and put it in the box that both would win, crushing the infamous false “beauty” .

Overall, it was a great moment to participate in this country’s democracy. It will inshalla be a greater moment tomorrow when the voice of justice raises above all others.

Regardless what happens.. Kuwait and its youth, the young rising generation, will continue to fight corruption and create a better future for our children and grandchildren.

الله يحفظ الــــــكــــــويــــــت وأهلـــهــــا

(P.S: if you see a cute boy in Al-Anba’a newspaper tomorrow wearing a blue polo t-shirt and white shorts…. that’s my Gooba !!) lol
