Stella - beyond extinction




What: Stella McCartney store
Where: the meatpacking district - NYC


It’s bizarre to say the least, but in a comical, fun kind of way.
I would definitely smile walking past that window.

OKay OKaaaaay I'm late!

Nobody likes to be late.. No one..
and what's worse than being absolutely embarrassed for being late is when everyone starts telling you how late you are..
hello! I know!



just don't make a big deal out of it..
I made it.. that's what counts..
not the end of the world..

The Bread Art Project was created by the Grain Foods Foundation to help increase awareness of the growing hunger problem in the United States.

Fashionably late?


I know I know.. I'm probably the last person in Kuwait to try "Slider Station"
so this isn't a review per se, it's just my personal opinion lol (3an il fashla)
went for lunch, early-ish
(in Kuwait, any lunch before 3pm is considered early!)

I think it's nicer for lunch but I can't judge since I haven't tried it for dinner.. yet!


I liked how it's small and cosy.. the bar area is superb and comfy..
atmosphere was not something wow for "bilad barra" but for us, it is something!
my friend, who is semi-regular, ordered for us.
But of course we couldn't try everything fa lazim another try, but I'll give it 2 weeks or so for digesting purposes!


everything was quite so yummy..


Food I most liked:
Hamour burger (with the red bun)
Obama burger
fried shrimp appetizer (supposedly new fa YOOHOO! lol)

but the fries were a bit disappointing,, too frail and not as juicy as I would like them to be..


hmmm.. o bass I guess.. :)

Babies switched at birth meet 56 years later!



"On a spring day in 1953, two girls were born at Pioneer Memorial Hospital in eastern Oregon. They grew up happily, got married, had kids and became grandparents. Then last summer their lives were turned upside down."




Thank God I look so much like my father lol


I don't know how I would feel..


Maybe I'd feel it's information I did't need to know..

آلو؟ ممكن أهدي؟

I've been listening to the radio quite a lot lately.
I got bored with my ipod, CD, etc.
Same repetitive songs.
So listening to the Radio gives you a nice variety and keeps you updated with what's new.
As I was switching from Radio Sawa (because of the news feed) to Kuwait FM 103.7.. I said: "7athi hal ghniyyah"
and of course it wasn't a song..
usually the tweeting sound (when it's prayer time) is my luck.. but this time it was a man talking and joking about something I just missed.
So I waited.. ba3arf shissalfa.. before I shuffle between radio stations.. when all of a sudden
"ناخذ اتصال... آلــو"
"الو..الو ال ال ال ال الـــــ (صدى) ـــو"
"آلو اختي.. ممكن"
"آلـــو آل آل آل آلـــ(صدى)ــلو"
"ممكن تقصرين على الراديو شوي"
"ااااوووه سوري سوري.. قصرته"
"الو تفضلي اختي"
"آلـــــــو سلام عليكم.. اخوي ممكن اشارك؟"
"وعليكم السلام اختي.. اكيد ممكن تشاركين"
"اخوي يعطيك العافيه بس حبيت اهدي"
"تفضلي اختي.. اسمج و اهدائج حق منو؟"
"احب اهديك اولا"
"مشكوره من ذوقج"
"واحب اهدي خالتي أمونه و اقول لها الف الحمد لله على سلامتها
"ها عسى ما شر شفيها خاتج؟"
"هيه هيه لا ما شر.. توها والده"
"آآآه!! مبرووووك الف مبروك! ولد ولا بنت؟"
"بنووووووووته تهبببببل تهبل اسم الله عليها هيه هيه"
"الله يخليها لكم انشالله"
"الله يسلمك"
"اممممم.. و منو بعد حابه تهدين؟"
"احب اهدي ناظرة مدرستي و اقول لها احبج اموت فيج وايد وايد وايد!! و راح نفقدج وايد وايد!! انتي مثل امنا الحنون.. الله يخليج لنا"
"آمين يا رب.. آمين"
"وأحب أهدي صديقاتي اللي أعزهم (برضو) وايد وايد وايد.. خوله و دلوله و سبيجه و عبوره و اقول لهم انكم اقرب الناس لي.. و الله لا يفرقنا"
"آمين آمين.. اختي أي اغنيه حابه تهدين؟"
"بس دقيقه دقيقه آخر اهداء.. و اهوا حق اغلى شي في قلبي.. و اهي الكويت و اهلها"
"اللــــــــه اللــــــــــــــــــــــــه عليج يا... أوه! انتي ما قلتيلنا اسمج؟"
"اسمي الهنوف الــــــــ"
"والنعم و ثلاثة انعام يالهنوف"
"هيه هيه.. الله ينعم بحالك ما عليك زود"
"انزين يالهنوف قوليلي.. شنو الاغنيه اللي تبينها؟"
"ابي اي اغنيه على ذوقك"
"تسلمين (تشقق).. يعني ما عندج مغني معين تفضلينه يالهنوف؟"
"والله اذا عندكم طلال سلامه او علي بن محمد اكون شاكرتلكم"
"ايه اكيد عندنا.. خلاص ان شاء الله مو الاغنيه اليايه.. اللي بعدها.. المخرج راح يحطلنا اغنيه انشالله تعجبج"
"و اهدي للمخرج (بالمره) بعد"
"تسلمين من ذوقج (كان بيقول حبيبتي) اختي الهنوف"
"الله يسلمك مشكور"
"انتي اللي مشكوره.. نورتينا و حياج الله"
"هيه هيه الله يحييك"
They took 5 more callers.. same process..
then one stupid song..
5 more callers again..
then..
"نسمع معاكم اغنيه لعلي بن محمد"
"الـــصد والهــــجـــران مـــــــاهو بطبعـــــــــــي.. مير فيك اتعادينـــــــــــــا.. وابتلينـــــــــــــــا وبتلينــــــــــا وابتليـــــــــنـــــــــا"
طبعا ينتع
And..
I was thinking.. ok
awalan, laish fe barnamej ihda'at 3ala il Radio a9lan?!
obviously she didn't want to listen to a specific song to begin with
and even if she did she would have to wait until all the callers finished, this takes approx. 10-15 minutes until her "favourite" song appears!
Thaniyan why do you have to call a Radio station to dedicate anything?
why don't you play the song you want to dedicate and call whomever you want to call without doing it via Radio stations, where everyone is listening to something that doesn't mean peanuts to them!
Thalithan, She'd have to call each and everyone she mentioned anyway just to tell them that she's calling the Radio station to dedicate a song to them.. ma why don't you tell them the dedication during that call or 7atta via sms, bbm.. anything!
Rabi3an, sij fe nas fatheen li hal daraja inna they become regulars! call and say what!
Khamisan, wi7na shallah 7adna nisma3 wa7id yigool shi3er 3an khawiyyah "خويه" willa wa7da tahdee ilnathrah! yakhi call them, or when you see them tell them whatever!!!
Khamisan.. hmmm.. madri shagool
inrid 3ala il iPod afthal
o 3ala 6ari il ihdaa'.. a7ib ahdee 9adeeqati ighneyyat Rashid il Majid, Ya dinya ya Qarraba..
