basamigi’s little corner on the web

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

It’s ten minutes till the ballots open..

and I’m about to leave to cast my vote..

the earlier the better… قــبــل الـزحـمـة

Hope it’s well organized.. I’ll probably write again when I come back..

let’s pray for the best in district 10..

last hours of anticipation are never easy..

الله يحفظ الكويت

By the way… the Ahmad Al-Fahad interview last night was totally staged..

there are reasons to believe that it wasn’t even live..

that.. or Al-Fahad’s watch is not working !!

for those who have no clue.. believing him is easy..

his answers were superficial.. but this guy knows how to talk..

continuously pressing on his patriotism.. and sacrifices !

You can deceive a few ya Ahmad… but not all..

but not all..
