Event: Russell Peters in the Middle East

19 Mar

I have written about how much I love Russell Peters long time ago (read here) and i know some people might not find him funny, or when he makes fun of their accent, traditions, they just say “well it’s not true”, whether its true or it’s not, the guy has a good sense of humor, and its a COMEDY show, so it’s not about facts and whats true and whats not.

I have been wishing for him to visit Kuwait for ages, sadly this isn’t happening in his 2012 tour. However, he is visiting Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Lebanon! how cool is that? I honestly envy them, I would definitely go to his show if I got the chance.

What surprised me is that Dubai & Abu Dhabi shows are sold out, except for Lebanon, which is happening in 4 days! Could it be cuz of the last time he made fun of Lebanese night life? Check it out:

 

If you are attending any of his shows, please let us know how did it go :)

Event: Wataniya Give Kuwait Bloggers Night

15 Mar

2 months ago I wrote about Wataniya’s press conference for launching Give Kuwait 2 (read it here) and explained the main purpose for this campaign. 2 days ago Wataniya invited a lot of Kuwait’s bloggers for a private event at Tatami (read my review here) to explain more about the campaign and encourage whoever is interested to take the initiative and register cuz this would be a great opportunity.

What is Give Kuwait?

Give Kuwait is a program that will help YOU if you have a small business (whether it’s an idea, service or a product) and need someone to push you into the right path.

How does this work?

You need to be 18 and above and have a great startup business. You shouldnt have a retail store for your business (starting fresh lets say). Fill out a registration form HERE and you might be chosen along with 250 other participants.

What do you get?

You will be part of a huge advertising campaign (radio, billboards and press), so you can say all of Kuwait will know about you. You will have a free booth at the biggest exhibition of its kind in Kuwait for 5 days to present your work. And if you are a trainee, you will get skill development training workshops.

I honestly think this is a great chance given by Wataniya to everyone who have a small business or an idea and couldn’t go for it for many reasons that we all know of. this is your chance to be successful, so what are you waiting for?

To register, fill out the form HERE and let us know if you go through :) all the best of luck!

Thank you Wataniya for the event, thanks to each one of you (so I wouldn’t forget any names) for keeping us updated. Thanks to Tatami for having us too :)

2 years and still happy!!!

11 Mar

in a region where we are reaching a 50% divorce rate within the first two years of marriage..

i think i have to say that its something special that Moody and I are still happy and going strong.. inshallah for a long time to come… it was our blog birthday on the 9th of Feb :D

it all started one lazy day when we were working together… i was inspired by 4th Ring Road blog and said to Moody.. let’s start a blog!

and she was totally on board! but she said – if we can come up with a name we can start it! (which totally went against what all creative writing teachers tell you – but it made so much sense in this case)

well.. you don’t want to ever get near Moody first thing in the morning and i used to call her Moody Panties.. and I told her to call the blog that! she liked and that’s where we started… sometime later.. we became.. Moody and Cheeky.. and I think it defines our personalities pretty well in some cases… even Moody will agree that she can be moody ;p

now the thing you don’t know about Moody – or maybe some of you are lucky enough to have enjoyed her company to know.. is that she knows something about everything mashallah.. she is good with technology.. good with people.. good with cats.. and basically.. everything (cept cooking – she does omlettes but that’s it so far (she may not be bad.. but she doesn’t ever get a chance to go into the kitchen.. but we’ll pretend she’s bad)) YAYYYY

so well.. i’d just like to say.. Moody is an amazing friend to have! and this blog would have never survived without her… well.. obviously not since we wouldn’t be moody n cheeky and its just not fun if that’s the case ;p – but seriously… she’s pulled this thing together and takes care of all the technical things and all the fun stuff toooo :D

you’re amazing Moody!!!

and i’d just like to take this moment to thank all of you readers.. you guys are our motivation.. nothing feels as good as getting great/interesting/fun comments from you guys! its just not the same without you guys ;p so stick around please… A LOT :D

 

Its Our Second Anniversary :D

9 Mar

Today marks our second anniversary of blogging :) We are very happy that we came this long way and just to make it clear, we aren’t thinking of quitting anytime soon :P

Its been 2 years since me and Cheeky used to sit on the stairs of our working place and complain about work and our horrible bosses, and suddenly the idea of making a blog hit us and got us excited to start away with it. So basically its been two years since we made a silly decision that turned out to be one of our best decisions ever :D

Our journey started very exciting, having a place to vent all our emotions out at and not to really care was amazing! before we know it, a lot of readers started leaving comments and started making new friends. We were liking it.

A year passed by and we were having lots of mixed feeling about the blog. We were making new friends (readers and fellow bloggers) but we don’t really know them! companies were communicating with us and we were a bit confused and unexperienced in this field. But that didn’t stop us from taking a step forward, after all, we started this thing for fun, so we might as well enjoy it as much as we can :)

Our second year was very different, we finally got to meet most of our fellow bloggers in person, we got to talk to them and share ideas and thoughts. We got a lot of invitations to a lot of places, some were pointless and using us as a marketing tool all the way, and some were some of the best events ever! eitherways, we definitely enjoyed it, but sadly Cheeky was always out-of-town so never got the chance to attend any.

This year had a lot of ups and downs, and still I personally don’t feel very settled, but lets hope that would change sometime soon, and I promise ill be more active around here :)

And to end this, a few thank you :)

To start off with Cheeky, my friend, my crazy loopy friend, and my partner in crime. I love you :)

A big thank you goes out to all our blogging friends (not to mention names and forget any) you have been a major support to us. Thank you to all of our readers (the anonymous and the ones we know) you guys are the reason why we are here. Thank you to all the companies who invited us to their events and were interested to get to know us more and have a good relationship.

If you have any suggestions, concerns, thoughts, ideas, complains, ANYTHING you wanna say to us, please do! we would be happy to hear them out and work on making them happen :)

Oldies: Aaliyah

29 Feb

Aaliyah was one of my best hip-hop and R&B artists while growing up, she’s more like Ciara at this time. She made great music in a very short while and worked with big artists like Timbaland and Missy Elliot. Sadly, she didn’t live for too long and died in a tragic airplane crash while traveling to shoot one of her videos. She wasn’t only a singer, she was also an actress and a model, and she definitely had the looks and the voice for it.

Here are some of her best music:
