Kuwait New Metro System

14 Oct

I’ve seen so many posts and articles talking about Kuwait’s metro system but this one is the best so far. It basically tells you what you need to know, ofcourse without telling the exact date when this system will be implemented. However, watching this video really made me think of how great it would be to have this done in Kuwait.

I’m one of the people who really enjoyed the metro ride, as long as its clean ofcourse! I’m hoping it would turn out great and effective as everyone is expecting. I wouldnt mind taking it to work if it will save me the trouble of getting stuck in traffic with all the frustration and anger. I’m just hoping that i would live for the day that i see it.

What about you? would you use it?

Event: Give for Kids with Cancer

5 Oct

I might be a bit late for this post but I really wanna make this post a bit special. If you are expecting nice pictures of food, or new places to visit or a review of a new movie, then you are wrong. This post is made with love to the kids who have cancer. I wrote a post HERE a couple of days ago about an event that is organized by one of our fellow bloggers Q8Rain to donate gifts and have a special party for the kids with cancer at the NBK Hospital. AGAIN, This isnt a one time thing, if you didnt participate or want to, theres always next month.

I arrived around 10 am that day to see Q8Rain & Pink Girl at the main entrance getting all the gifts gathered at one place. I rushed to help cuz the amount of gifts was unbelievable!! Kids were gathering and you can see them trying to smile because this is something un usual to them. However, you can still feel they aren’t too excited or hyper, just because they are simply sick.

Am writing this post and don’t know exactly what to write, The party was fun, the decoration, the face paint and crafts, the activities, there was food, flowers, frozen yogurt, and so so many things.

We stayed and played with the kids for a while, then we moved upstairs to the wards were some kids have more serious conditions and can’t be taken downstairs. They were all aged between 1 year up to 15 years old. It’s so sad to see these kids so weak and helpless. That makes me think of the amount of blessings that we have everyday and don’t even notice it. The whole event made me feel sad and grateful on so many levels. I hope I get the chance to go there every month to not forget.

IMPORTANT

One of the very serious cases is for this kid named Abdulkareem, I believe he’s 13 years old who was diagnosed with cancer in his knee. Sadly they can’t do the right operation for him in Kuwait, their solution is to cut his leg off before the cancer start spreading more. He only has 6 days left for someone to donate 30,000 KD to be able to go to Jordan and make the knee replacement operation. If you know anyone whose willing to help, please don’t hesitate to comment or email us and we will direct you to the right person.

We visited one of the wards play rooms (which i was very happy to see the decoration and the fun stuff the kids can enjoy) and starting drawing notes for the kids. This is only the first time, Inshalah every time we go will do something to remind them that we are there.

I would like to thank personally EVERYONE who donated something, who even thought of helping and couldn’t. You all are great with big hearts, lets keep it this way every month, think about the amount of money you spend over silly things, these people seriously need it.

 A special thank you to the people behind this Q8Rain & Iyaa, just know that we are always willing to help for a good cause. A big thank you to the bloggers who made it that day Pink Girl, Omarker, Blog37, Bloglaish, Dudette from 7ajidude, Triple Sisters, BerooQ8. A hug and a thank you to all the doctors and nurses that helped us, THANK YOU!

The companies that donated: Express Food, PICK YO, Tolipias Sense, We Love Kuwait, The Little Joy Shop, Solo Pizza Napulitana, Q8Printer

Support: GIVE..Bloggers to Community

2 Oct

Our fellow blogger and friend Q8Rain took a huge step forward towards humanity and helping people out. Whats great about this is that she made a commitment to help kids with cancer, her commitment is to try to make them happy and smile once a month, and we have to help her out too.

To some of you the word Cancer is just a word that means a disease, some can’t even say it thinking if they do then they bring bad luck to themselves, and some who knows exactly what it means because it’s either they suffer from it or was cured. Whatever that word means to you, you should never underestimate it or the people who suffer from it.

I personally had a friend who used to have leukemia and gladly was cured from it. I know for a fact that me staying around her and act like nothing is going on was the best thing that ive given her. People who suffer from cancer need just SOMEONE to be around, to talk to, to make them laugh, and this is the whole point of this campaign.

What you can do?

Theres gonna be a party for the kids with cancer every month at the NBK Hospital, again..its EVERY MONTH! All your asked to do is to donate something, toys, coloring books, games, educational stuff, whatever you can afford, they are kids and believe me they aren’t demanding, we just wana make them smile and have a good time. If you think you have more ideas you can participate in to make the party more joyful, please don’t hesitate.

When?

Tomorrow the 3rd of October is the first party, It will start at 10:30 till 12:30 and we hope we can make those 65 kids see life differently for those 2 hours at least.

How?

You can easily contact Q8Rain or send us here and we will make sure to deliver whatever you have to offer.

What did we do?

We tried to provide whatever we can in such a short period and wrap them, hopefully next month we can think of something more creative :) I wanna thank also my bestie Yayoo for donating some toys and also That Al Salasil who were very welcoming to the idea and were very happy to help and send us lots of kids books.

We wanna thank Q8Rain for this thoughtful idea and hope all the bloggers can take this seriously and act up on it. It will not cost you much believe me, you can make someone happy by doing this, so think about it. We also added a badge on our side banner to be an official supporter. I will personally wear YELLOW tomorrow cuz gold is the color of childhood cancer ribbon, so why don’t we all do that?

Zain to a Beautiful World

30 Aug

We were invited to Zain’s first musical play called Zain to a Beautiful World زين إلى عالم جميل  a couple of days ago to see the final rehearsal before going live first day of Eid which is tomorrow.

They usually say “Dont judge a book by its cover” but this time I did!! I have seen so many plays ads that will be showing during Eid and I actually made fun of most of them because simply the ads werent presentable, but on the other hand, the one for Zain, the ad itself looked professional enough and people actually put work into it. For that reason I was excited to check it out and see what it’s all about.

I will try to be quick and not talk a lot about it cuz I don’t wana ruin it to you all who wants to see the real thing, but all i can say that it’s definitely a first time in Kuwait to see something as professional as this! it was very light, the music was fun, the decoration was good and the characters were picked well. I enjoyed watching it very much and thought it would be very interesting for the kids.

I would like to thank Zain for the invitation and for the creative May AlSaleh who is behind a lot of the creative work that we have been seeing on tv lately. Enjoy the pictures :)

 

On a side note, thanks Zain for the cute teddies :D
