Bubbye

it's that time of the year, where i'm off to my happy place: vacation

i wish i can put thıs euphorıc feelıng in little bottles, to use later when it's hot or when the work load is heavy or any other not so happy time

for those of you who are working, ya36eekom el 3afia.. for those who are traveling or transiting or getting ready to jet out, enjoy..

what about farrah fawcett ?

everyone seems to be mourning michael, but what about farrah ?

he's a symbol of the 80's, and she's a symbol of the 70's and an original charlie's angel

Allah yer7amhom both.. sad day for hollywood

A thursday post

- what do the baladi elections and the blackberry have in common ? all of a sudden, everyone is paying undivided attention to the baladi elections.. which in the past have been more secondary and below the radar. now everyone is talking about it, it's like a habba

- so this morning on my way to work i switched to mix fm, and the song "because i got high" was playing.. lol i certainly didnt expect that, and wonder if there is a whirl of angry parents calling the station to scold them for putting bad ideas into their kids' heads

- yesterday i finally tried skype. i cant believe i've waited until now to use it, it's fantastic and the face to face thing is unbeatable.. not to mention free

- i'm never going to avenues on a friday night again. it's like a zoo. but hopefully 360 will take some of the load. but then again thats what we said about avenues when it opened, there always seems to be enough ppl to fill all locations on thursday and friday nights

- i recommend the book "outliers" by malcom gladwell. it's really cool

Trend-setter vs follower

when it comes to habbat (fads), i’ve always been the laaast person to hop on the wagon.. it happened with facebook, which i only joined last year, i just bought my first pair of gladiator sandals, and just recently i got a … yes u guessed it, crackberry (bold)

although now that i’ve seen the iphone 3GS and the OS3.0 releases, I dunno anymore… technology moves fast !

6 hours left...

"Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote"  -  George Jean Nathan

Speak up and vote

so i have 3 votes down and am wondering about whom to give my fourth one to..

anyway, here's a website offering a brief background on each of the candidates, for example how they voted in the past about women's rights, or reducing the districts.. LINK

whoever wins, i think there should be a prize for having the best name. and for me, it's between Nami Alnami (pronounced naminnami), and Alsaifi Alsaifi :D

go vote, dont let it go to waste !

PS have u noticed how tacky some of the campaign slogans are ?

The new shuffle

shown here next to iphone

1. u can switch between playlists

2. pressing a button will tell u (in a clear voice) which song is playing; that's kind of useless but pretty neat at the same time

Toshiba sucks

so last night after i put up the last 2 posts below, i was browsing and reading some blogs when..... all of a sudden, out of nowhere, my laptop screen started looking as if it were fracturing / melting, until the whole screen looked like irregular yellow & black intertwined patterns. and that was that, restarting (i.e. taking the battery out and putting it back in) didnt help. so i calmly shut it, turned the lights off and went to sleep.

if it still refuses to work today, thats it - i'm getting a mac.

Where are u from ?

i spotted that town whilst driving up the alps last month.. i had seen it a few years before but thought i was hallucinating. if i were from that town and asked where i was from by a non-frenchie, i would think about lying

What are you doing this summer ?

germany's first nudist hotel

quirky or perverted ?

Cirque du soleil

i'm off to dubai this weekend and i'll be watching the cirque du soleil show - alegria



i've only seen one show before, which is quidam




they say alegria is one of the best they have, so i'm kind of psyched




i'll just never understand how they can bend like that, it's like they have no bones...

Sports store

.. and 1 more sports related question - what's the best sports store in kuwait ? is it go sports in avenues or are there other better ones ?

i need a store with a good selection of running gear

do we have a nike or addidas store somewhere ?

thanks !

Music help

so i'm building a playlist for a marathon i'm planning to run next month, and i have some pretty good tracks on there but i need some help

there are songs that seem to be made for running, whenever i listen to them i feel like my pace naturally picks up and i feel more energetic, like:

- shut up and drive

- bleeding heart

- pump it

- lose my breath

- fast car

- inifinity 2008

what else should i add ?

ps- i've switched the font to green, i thought it was time for a change

MOM

what does the word MOM mean to u ?

if u're thinking "minutes of meeting," then u have serious problems and need to chill

happy mother's day ;)

From Russia with love

we've all noticed the growing presence of Russians in dubai lately. well i found this note plastered in my hotel room and thought it was pretty funny (click to enlarge):


basically hotel management is politely asking hotel guests to dress appropriately and in line with the country's culture and traditions. i wonder what they saw in order to feel compelled to write such a note !
