Yes, this blog is still alive. Barely. Since the storm that is Twitter has taken over Kuwait, my identity has become more than known. To close & distant relatives, to friends and work colleagues. So there's not much I can say here on a personal level without giving away too many details. I thought of joining the band wagon and turning my blog into one of those review/advertisement blogs but I

Beauty Lies Within, Or Not ?

2011-01-30T04:34:00.001+03:00

I spend ridiculous amounts of money on the most expensive beauty products available. You name it, from anti-aging to whitening, anti-stress, caviars, serums, emulsions, masks and exfoliants by the dozen. I try my best to use them religiously. But the simplest, cheapest or actually free things I don't do. Like what ? Like drinking enough water and sleeping early. Sound familiar ? I'm sure

Nail Polish Post !

2010-10-01T02:53:00.004+03:00

As soon as I saw a picture of this seasons Chanel nail polish "Les Khakis" which was released this September I went crazy. I especially loved the greenish one.So, I was shopping in Boots Avenues when I spotted Pupa's latest nail polish collection. So I guess for a similar, cheaper and AVAILABLE substitute, you can try Pupa. Unfortunately, I already had polish on so I couldn't try the shades.

Its always easy to throw away ur dish & start over till you get it right. 3. Sometimes you start off with something in mind but end up with something totally different, but equally as delicious. 4.

I just woke up for the millionth time since last night.I slept really early, like at 7pm !!I was so nervous it was the only way to escape it.I'm not prepared and I'm not ready.I haven't chosen what I'm wearing today.Ambay.So totally freaked out.Wish me luck you guys !Ok, theres the alarm, must be out of bed NOW!

Sentimental Value

2008-10-04T02:08:00.004+03:00

When the year begins to near its end and you reach October I think its the right time to start evaluating the previous days that have passed to try to make amends before the year finishes.Here are some highlights from my 3id:Everyone who knows me well enough knows that I own a ring that I always wear. It originally belonged to my mother and was the first gift from my dad when they were living in

3id Greetings My Darlings...

2008-10-01T11:57:00.004+03:00

...from my BIG, FAT, UGLY, ZIT !I felt an odd bump beneath my eye yesterday and I just knew what it was. It was the "3id zit" or what you may call "The Day Before School Zit" or what others may call "The Before Wedding Zit" *hmph* Its been ages since I got one of these in such an unusual place. It's a big red bump and it hurts. I put a million and one creams on it yesterday and surely enough I

2008-09-27T04:42:00.007+03:00

I've been spending a lot of time with my dad since my mom and sister left the country. We've been busy buying last minute things they forgot to send over. Last Friday we were planning to go to the Avenues before f6or but we weren't sure what time they open since its 9alat ilyim3a. My dad was on his computer so I asked him to google the Avenues maybe they have a site. Big mistake.The search

Scared Out of My Mind

2008-09-26T03:39:00.008+03:00

I started biting my nails the moment I laid my eyes on this:Yes, the day has finally come and oh how I dread it.Today I got almost everything done, I still don't know what unit I'm going to be with, but it is highly likely to be with the team I really really don't want to be a part of. I've decided against going next week to find out. I'm going to use the next week or so to pray pray and pray

2008-09-25T04:18:00.008+03:00

Ok....so I have a sickness.Since everyone is doing the addictions tag, I'll get it over and done with myself.I'm addicted to mobile phones.I'm addicted to bling.These 2 addictions dont necessarily go well together.Why you ask?Because I tend to bore easily with phones, I wouldn't mind having a new one every month. The only reason my current phone lasted this long is because a while back my

2008-09-21T17:28:00.010+03:00

So last week I went to Virgin and bought magazines, a few more plain notebooks (madri laish) and ANOTHER 2009 planner. I swear I think I'm going to be the best planned person in 2009. Anyways, while at the cashier the saleslady struggled with the change, she had to return 190fils and I don't think she had enough. I wasn't paying attention and was looking around when she finally just gave up

Bound To Happen Sooner Or Later

2008-09-20T03:34:00.007+03:00

I was planning a totally different post,I was going to write about lots of random things,But such is life,Things are thrown your way when you least expect them,To say it wasn't expected is a lie,That said,To say I was prepared is an even bigger lie.With every situation or problem there is a different way to deal,To react....You can hide behind your emotions and shy away from all forms of common

So since Ramadan started I've been kicking it back big time since I know my days are numbered and I will be starting work soon I have been worshipping (astagfor Allah) my TV!Things I've noticed?The theme of black magic is popular this year.There seems to be a trend of using very very very odd names for the characters.(Has the Hollywood bug caught on here?)So everything starts after f6oor, with my

This whole business of posting random pics is so much easier than writing a post. So here goes...On Wednesday, I went to Letter D'Amore for the second time, but this time it was special cuz we had my cousin's baby with us. He is tiny, look how huge my hands look next to his. The restaurant is quite good, a great atmosphere and good food.Imagine watching the season finale of Lipstick Jungle and

So I called up AlGhanim Electronics and they told me that the white steel E71 is in stock. I go down to the showroom and they tell me the only colour made was grey steel. You'd think someone working in the mobile section would know a thing or 2 about mobiles right? No, I had to go into a loooooong discussion on whether or not a lighter version of the phone existed or not. Anyways, after lots

Now I'm just waiting to receive a phone call telling me that 'qarar ilta3yen' has been signed. Cross ur fingers that it finishes within 1 week!!- I dont watch Sanawat ilThaya3, but its on TV now,

When I want something I obsess about it.I eat, drink, sleep thinking about it.I currently have 2 (or 3?) in my mind and I'm bored of waiting !Hfff so I'm writing this to get my mind off it.I can be so superficial sometimes.P.S. I have to submit my papers to start work soon.Confession: I'm scared stiff !P.P.S. I stopped reading. I just cant get into The Witch of Portebello. Last chance

Things You Don't Need To Know

2008-08-21T16:11:00.007+03:00

I'm very passionate about recycling and have piles of papers that I don't need dating back to my first college years. I finally gone down to business and had the time to clear everything out during my make up fasting days. There's much more where that came from.Of course before sending them off to be recycled you have to take out all the staples and other recyclable materials. I took them out

Dear Annoying Salespeople,Bs 3ad....... !!!! Can you not leave me alone to waste my money in peace !?Today one of them actually made me physically sick with her following me round and round in circles.I know they're just doing their job, but what part of "its ok....im just looking" don't they understand?One of my favourite things is just checking out random scents in the perfume section, I don't

What Have I Been Up To?

2008-07-27T03:40:00.001+03:00

I've been busy reading.The whole time I was in med school I don't think I finished more than 3 or 5 books. Yup. I always told myself that I would start reading as soon as I graduate. Deep down inside I thought it was just one of those excuses. Turns out I was wrong! I haven't lost my love for reading after all. I managed to finish 2 books in about 3 days, just like the old days. I'm on my

1We all have skewed perceptions of everything around us.We only see what we want to see.We choose the way we see it.We may have a negative or positive outlook,We choose to ignore, disregard, or overlook things,We also over estimate things.All these biased perceptions result in a distorted image of what lies in front of us.In simple words, I could put in front of you an antique painting of

The Teachings of Time

2008-07-08T05:00:00.000+03:00

I always believed in taking your time whenever doing something or beginning something.The hustle and bustle of life frequently forces us to rush things.Almost always resulting in a flustered unsatisfied person plagued by thoughts of regret.Some say "Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today" or "لا تؤجل عمل اليوم إلى الغد" I on the other hand say "في التأني السلامه وفي العجله الندامه" I

I just read Lone Ranger'ess's well-written post about the choices we are faced with in life. I was inspired to share my comment with you guys:We fluctuate from sometimes knowing exactly what to do and to other times where we are absolutely hopeless and we are just forced to close are eyes and just take a leap of faith.Sometimes we'll be right & other times we'll be wrong....whether we were sure

Clichés That Are Actually True

I have recently come to believe that:1"Your mother is ALWAYS right"(My mom has been telling me for years that I .............. and finally it happened. Boy do I regret not paying attention to her words!)2"Kilshay kheera" or in english "Things always work out for the better"I will not elaborate on this one because I think this will suffice to get my point across:قال سبحانه وتعالى : { وَعَسَى أَن

2008-06-25T04:29:00.005+03:00

As you grow older, your baggage ages with you.As you age, the harder it is for you to change the things you hate about yourself.Once upon a time if there was something I didn't like about myself I would snap my fingers and BAM! GONE for good! I can't do that anymore, its as if I have no will power.*giggles*Ok, khalas, what a mood changer, I'm watching a Friends re-run, The One With The Hypnosis,

So... You all know how I hate to write depressing posts or sounding depressed....BUTThis, after all, is a journal of my life & I must not omit the parts I don't like, I mean who do I think I am? The KNCC? God forbid. So yes, the 22nd June, officialy the first day of summer, having the longest day and shortest night, had lots of good times, but also had some bad times. Enough said.

Going Out of My Mind

2008-06-15T20:44:00.004+03:00

I'm very independent and seldom rely on others to do things for me. But alas, such is life that sometimes you are forced to ask someone to do you a simple favour.A simple favour that won't take but a few minutes out of that someones busy life. A favour that won't require them to go out of their way to get it done. Something from somewhere they probably go to several times a day.You remind,

Has anyone noticed the security guards that stand outside the parking lot entrances?Don't they deserve a booth? A chair even? The poor souls stand out there in this terrible Kuwaiti weather we've been having for very long hours. It's hot. It's sunny. And its DUSTY! I've been thinking of writing someone a letter. Inshallah as soon as i finish exams. I think im going to write a lot of angry emails

Only read the parts that interest you ;P- The other day on The View they were interviewing a lady who had just written a book about all the chemicals we're subjecting our children to from baby bottles to vaccines. And how we should deal with 'Green' OB/GYN's, paediatricians and hospitals. Then she got out a stack of journals that every parent should

Beauty Tips For The Beautiful

2008-05-27T03:26:00.001+03:00

Lately I've been obsessing about beauty care and buying something or the other every few days. I think its just to run away from studying. Anyways, at least its something useful and I thought why not share it with you girls.I have dry hands and lately they have become much darker than the rest of my body and constantly disinfecting my hands with alcohol at the hospital is not helping matters.
