*HUGGG*

What would you do? (2)

Me and Rashid are married for six years now, we've had met twelve years ago. We had our share of life together, studied and worked abroad for many years.

This ramadan is our first in Kuwait, to him everything seems to be a maze, the places we used to date in are not there anymore or with a total different look. Now that I'm here invitations are crowded in the drawer next to his bed side, a way to help each other remind each other with our social obligations. It has been more than 7 years since the last time we experienced Ramadan in Kuwait, I have to admit its lovely to be home, I remember our Ramadan abroad; we used to be in bed after eftar and wake up with the morning prayer.

The other night he had iftar with his friends and I had mine with my family, that night we had no chance to meet or talk at all- a girl had to do what she got to do before showing up at a ghabga.

The Ghabga was great, I enjoyed the religious atmosphere in Ghabgas, better than the old way of eating all night then leave. After the long night, my friends and I noticed that it's already 3:30 in the morning and we are not home yet. Then I realized, I forgot to tell Rashid about this invitation.

I arrived home around four in the morning, poor Rashid was waiting at the door, he was worried that a heart attack would've reached him (lasama7 allah) anytime that night. Once he saw me, he hugged me tight with his shaky body just to feel a strange warmth between us.

My poor husband peed himself, I couldn't stop the laughter.. Poor thing he was embarrassed...
What would you do in such situations?
I know if he was another person he would've killed me, but it was so damn funny.

The Unwritten Code

(This is an old old old post from my drafts, dunno why i never posted it, but i heard complaints tonight of this blog being inactive....so active again it is)
Ok, so recently I & my married friend were having a conversation with an associate/colleague of ours we had recently met, who according to my friend has the hots for me. I think shes too desperate to marry me off cuz to be honest I'm totally not getting the vibe. Anyway, so during this conversation where I was trying to be my normal self, while my friend giggled & made eyes at me & nudged me, kicked me, you name it at every comment the poor guy made he asked me 2 questions. Actually more than 2. But we're just discussing the 2. As soon as he left & we were alone, she grabbed me aside & said:

Friend: Intay maynona?
Me: Laish? Ishsawait?
Friend: Intay ma tifhimeeeeeeeeeen btyeny jal6a minich!!!!
Me: *Im used to this conversation, so im silent here, waiting to find out what stupidity i have done this time*
Friend: Ma fahamtay laish sa2alich ................... ?
Me: Madry...it was kinda wierd...bs 3adi...i guess he was just making conversation.
Friend: La mo 3adi....he was trying to find out if u were ...................?! Now he thinks ur ...........!
Me: E saa7, tsadgen? Ma yat 3ela baly.....ooofff ana laymota chithy......intay shlon t3arfen hl ashya bs golely?!
Friend: O thany mara....laman a guy asks u ............. and ............... , ma trideen o tgoleeen .............!
Me: *Confused*
Me: Well I was just being honest, i didnt realise there was a specific way to answer such questions.
Friend: Laaaaaaaaaaaa!
Me: Can i just stay away from the opposite sex & never get married? This is too complicated for me.
Friend: Laaaaaaaaaaaa!

Ok, so my question is this my dear bloggers.

Is there an unwritten code of how to talk to the opposite sex?

If there is, where can I find it? I'm feeling rather stupid.

Honestly people, what happened to
1 + 1 = 2?
Why is it that more & more I feel that in this day & age
1 + 1 = 11

???

What would you do?

Imagine you have an important meeting with the hotest person on earth. This meeting will dcided weather you'll stay in your job; get promoted or kick you out of it. You got your papers done, and your word is perfect, you hair is amazing, perfect suit and shoes and you look so Darn hot with brains.

At the elevator , I noticed one thing, trying to take a closer look at the mirror to make sure i'm not seeing what i'm seeing.. even closer... and the bomb explodes; i have a moustache "oh my gosh" i yelled in the elevator with people around me.." My lip stick is non removable, shit" ...I decided i have to let go, there is nothing to do about it let me just go on to the meeting and i'll keep a good distance between him and i.

I sat down at the velvet mixed with leather chair with my perferct legs crossed, shining with glow " thank you dove glow" i thought to my self. Checking my lovely newly done nails "ready to sign the promotion" a look closer "shit oh shit there is hair on my finger, damn not only my finger my arms my Arms! my arms are hairy.. i forgot to wax my arms ...shit shit shit" ...

What can i do?
How do you guys feel about hairy girls?
Shall i leave the meeting or act as if nothing happened?

Never a Boyfriend

Submitted by Jewel

Both our mobile phones rang at the same time. After ending both our calls she said: “ it seems that we’re gonna waste our time talking to our boyfriends on the phone rather than doing X assignment today”.
My answer was: “I don’t have a boyfriend! That was Grandma I was speaking to on the phone”. Which was totally true, I mean come on how could I make that up? But something tells me she didn’t believe me.

It’s true I don’t believe in boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. To me it’s against any women’s rights to be respected and cherished.

Here’s a simple equation that shows what I mean:

Boyfriend = love + no promise of anything = disrespect for women

Fiancé = love + a public promise to me = respect

Husband = love + a public fulfillment of that promise = utmost form of respect to a woman

So you see when people tell me “so then how can you get married to someone you don’t know?” Well that’s why we have the “engagement period”, why does it have to be the degrading boyfriend/girlfriend relationship to know each other?

I do

So yeah! I don’t intend to have a boyfriend and never will!

Back to blogspot...

... I THINK!

So I'm back to blogspot. Wordpress doesn't allow me to play with html. There are advantages and disadvantages on both hosts.

I liked organizing posts in to categories on wordpress and the "recent comments" view was very helpful since this blog is a joint blog and I'm the only one receiving comment email notification "mean me".

I AM CONFUSED.

anyway...
This blog is quiet and becoming deserted. So if there's anyone who's willing to contribute; the door is open! Whether you want to become a member or just a contributor "by email". Posts from men are ALSO welcome. If you have questions, suggestions, anything you want to share or get a view on.

Our Thoughts are our reality

submitted by Broke

A couple of months ago I had a useful conversation with my friend A. about one of Jennifer Aniston 's movies which ended up nicely and made me think of sharing it with you . This is a summary of it:

A: How was the movie?

Broke: Well, I didn't like its story that much but what I really loved about it was J.A. She's gorgeous..

A: Gorgeous! No, She’s not!

B: How come! I know that her face features are not that beautiful.. but at whole she's attractive …charming !

A : No , let me explain my point and the secret behind it … Jennifer thinks that she's so beautiful which makes her behave and act as if she's really so . Eventually , this thought is reflected on her personality and appearance and we as her fans can see this and believe in it just like way the way she believes in her herself !

Broke: Oh.. How could u bring it this way! U r absolutely right!

I think that we should take this secret into action too ; )

A: I can give u more examples on this, if u would like to …



So, I gave her the chance 2 elaborate more on it which lead me to the following conclusion …

1- If we believe in ourselves, people will believe in us..

2- What we see is the result of what we think and feel..

3- Our exterior is mostly a reflection of our interior; therefore, we have to take care of our minds and hearts more than anything else …



That's all I have for now. I hope that you find what I wrote interesting and useful just like the way I do : )

Best Workout EVER!

Hello ladies and gents,
Its Tuesday already, I didn’t post anything on Saturday hoping that you all read the great post Kuwait chopper dude "The Don" posted.
So tell me did you lose any kilos? Inches, Clothing size? Or you gained any?
Personally I lost one more kilo which makes a total of 5 kilos till now  how exciting it that.. and I didn’t do any diet all that I did was what I wrote to you guys earlier.

Now let us talk about something new takes us to the second level, hoping you are on track and assuming you all read The Don health post, honestly we both are reading the same things_ I believe _ from e-diets so I'll start talking business here .

"Now as you read more muscles equals high metabolism rate …not the bodybuilding muscles but an average amount of muscle mass to help you burn more calories and that will help you loose weight" (The Don, April 8th,2006)

You can get these muscles in home, in your room even in grocery shops. You'll be asking, how is that? For example at grocery shops you'll be carrying water gallons or box of fruits OR at home playing with your children or brothers carrying them around, playing that flying game, moving your furniture to clean, Gardening, pluming, washing dishes, hanging wet clothes on the rope to dry, ironing, painting …etc. are actually building muscles.

These daily routine will play a small part in increasing muscles in your body. The bigger part is your work out ... go for body weight workouts (check me) as in pushups, setups, squats, lunges, dips (check explanation here) as well as yoga, pillates and ball workouts.

All these activities will help you increase your body muscles which will higher your metabolism without paying any money or going to any gym. Take a look at our walking lanes in Kuwait all these new Chinese/Japanese workout machines are body weight based machines so talk a walk to your area walking lane, change air ('3ayraw jaw) and refresh your skin away from A/C's and high life laziness.

Tuesday health

Hello ladiez and gents;
How have you been all of you? i hope you were on track and concentrating on shedding that excess fat.
I have to admit mine is going slow and steady the way i believe in losing those fats. I hope you are on track with your wieght loss and writing it down every friday . I am one more kilo off the scale which means 3 kilos till today from day one i started these letters with you my dears.

Today i wont be talking about wieght loss.. i'll be discussing wieght gaining programmes which was requested by one of our readers.. so here we go..

To gain wieght one should understand their metabolizm habit as well, for examply you can know if your body is more tolerant to carbohydrates and sugars or to fats buy the kind of dessert you eat.. if one likes candy more than chocolate that mean their body digest and burns sugars fast so in this case this person should increase level of butter, olive oil, fried and rich milk foods into their daily intake.

So you want to gain wieght yet you eat chocolate alot, add more carbohydrates and sugars into your food, full cream milk and cheeses and lots of white bread and pastas and potatos.

To gain wieght you shouldn't drink with your meal and shouldn't move alot while eating. Any kind of activities after any meal are not recommended also tea's and coffees without sugar are not recommended as well.. they will help in blocking your appitite.

Simply eat eat every thing every 2 hours, don't stay for more than 3 hours without eating a rich snack as in honey, youhgurt, chocolate milk (full cream), backed potatos, french frise simply any kind of food, and dont forget your protien lots of protiens which they will help you increase your wieght by muscles.

IMPORTANT : Follow this eating habit only for 2 weeks and then check your wieght if any differences occure then go on the week after with less amount of sugars or fats (depending on your metabolism) per day and exchange them with fruits then go back again another 2 weeks with full meals. so 2 weeks yes and one week of fruits :) you need to take suppliment (multivitamins) as well.

Let me know if you need anything
my best regards

Judy Abbott.

The Pleasure of Driving a Hummer

Hind (our reader) complains that when she drove her cousin’s Hummer her brother saw her and told her that she had crossed the line. He thinks that it’s a men’s only vehicle.

Hind is very upset now. “Why should there be men’s only cars?” she complains.

So what do you think people?

Should Hind drive the Hummer and feel the pleasure?

Or is her brother right? If yes, explain why.

Boost your metabolism up

Hello ladiez and gents;

Today its Saturday our meeting day..
how was your last few days? Did you check you weight yesterday? Any changes?
Personally I lost one more kilo YIPPY..

Now you were talking about the water reduction diet.. This diet what is does it helps you boost your metabolism and make you lose toxins (entoxination diet) But for lean body you need to work out and boost your metabolism as well as following a certain diet by which it will help you reduce those ugly fat cells under your skin and around your hips and waist line.

The water intake is really important to every person even fit people.. Drinking a glass of water within 15-30 min. Before each meal helps your stomach to warm up by which increase the enzyme production and boost your metabolism.. As well as vitamins intake will do the same thing.

First thing in the morning before you start your day drink a good full glass of water, before your Breakfast and after. Do that with each meal (before and after each meal) as well as your snacks, and before you head bed at night. As well as the 10 min. Of activity I mentioned before will help your metabolism goes up to the skies and burn those ugly fats .

Add to that you will end up having clearer ,healthier, softer and fresh skin .

Note: if you didn't weight your self yet run run run do it and write it down :)

till Tuesday my friends.. Work out at least 3 hours a week , hard work out and keep those fat, white carb's food away from your mouth ..
and remember:

"A bite is a kiss of failure" said by Dr. Atkins

don't forget your Vege's and fruits :)

And people listen to this ..will make you lean in a week :) (click me)

Adios!
