I Just Don’t Understand

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

I was a party tonight at my friend’s place. It was to celebrate her marriage. Me and couple of others weren’t too happy about this courthouse union to a guy who was definitely less than par. He works at Lowes and she has “temporarily” dropped out of school to work full time at Walmart. You [...]

Planning Ahead

Friday, October 12th, 2007

Sorry I forgot! Kil 3am wentaw ib kheir ya jema3a!
So this is, hopefully, my last year here so I’ll be moving out. I’ll be moving out a lot of stuff. Definitely more stuff than could fit two suitcases on a plane. So what will I do?
I’m bringing home many boxes of knick-knacks and [...]

Hello Shit Week

Tuesday, October 9th, 2007

Well I knew it wasn’t going to be a good next few days when I almost destroyed my noise by standing in the way of a flailing door Sunday evening.

Another month, another list of resolutions.
There is something about beginnings that give people so much hope. They actually believe that it’s the start of something new. A fresh beginning, another chance to make things right. Many of them don’t know that almost all of them will be disappointed.
The first of the month. The first day [...]

New Products At My Mom’s Store

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Exactly a year ago my mom opened a shop in Galleria 2000 in Salmiya for bed, bath and table linens. She specializes in 100% Egyptian cotton and pure linen and in long tablecloths - minimum 3.5m and longer because these are NOT available in Kuwait at all. This stuff is great as “gifts for birthdays, [...]

On This And That - Ramadhan Edition

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

You know how these days Christians have to give up something they like for the 40 day period of lent? Well for the past couple of years, I’ve been doing something similar for Ramadhan. I’ve done music and oversleeping. Those seem kind of silly and very trivial. So I’ve decided that in addition to those, [...]
