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 :)

Event: The Legendary Andy Cole at GUST

6 Mar

Andy Cole (a legendary English football player) was in Kuwait the past few days for many events. Luckily I got the chance to meet him face to face at GUST (Gulf University of Science & Technology) yesterday for signing and photos. I’m not a big football fan, but when I do watch them, I support Man United all the way ;) Another reason for me to attend is to get his signature for my brother whose also a big fan of Man United and couldn’t make it to the event.

The event was pretty cool, not a huge number of students showed up, but a lot of people where happy to sit and watch whats going on and enjoy all the fuss that’s happening :) I honestly thought it’s a great idea, some of the loyal fans attended and they were extremely happy as I overheard some of them saying how they can’t believe it!

This event was sponsored by the Turkish Airlines, where they made a draw at the end of the event to give away Man United official jerseys and an airline ticket by the Turkish Airlines by the destination you chose. It was a successful one if you ask me, and we surely need more of these event around Kuwait :)

Moody ‘N Cheeky on Jazeera Airways Inflight Magazine

22 Feb

A month ago we were contacted by Jazeera Airways agency that are in charge of their Inflight Magazine as they picked us to be part of their “I Heart Kuwait” series that was published this month as part of the National & Liberation day celebration. We were asked to pick a place that we like to go to in Kuwait and where else would we chose other than the fun and exciting “Shooting Range” :D

It was our first time to be featured in a magazine, and since then people started unexpectedly calling us after they have seen the magazine! Its weird in a way or another but we did enjoy it :) and now we are taking this chance to share it with you, simply because we DO heart Kuwait, we heart our blog and we heart our readers :D

If you are asking why did we chose the shooting range, well if you didn’t go there before they wouldn’t probably know what kind of thrill you are missing! It’s such an amazing place to let off some stress and forget about your hectic day and issues. Holding a real gun is definitely not like how you imagined it would be or as you see it in movies, its heavy and it’s not easy to just aim and shoot (that’s ofourse if you wanna hit the target properly :P).

First time I took Cheeky to this place she didn’t show any excitement, she was complaining that she would probably get a headache even before we enter! However, her face expressions changed 180 degrees after she was done, she was excited, thrilled and wanted to do it again! now that’s more like it ;)

One thing I have noticed every time i go there is that guys SUCK! sorry guys but you do (unless you are an exception :P) I see them leaving the range with their paper that has more than 20 holes and non of them is even close to the 7 circle! seriously guys?

We should set a day where we all bloggers hit the place and start shooting! maybe we can have a competition of the best shooting blogger :P how about that? hit me back with your opinion and maybe we can arrange something.

We would like to thank Jazeera Airways for communicating with us, we appreciate your support :)

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone :)

14 Feb

I’m not really a Valentine’s Day person or really makes a difference to me, but its nice to take this chance to express your feelings to your family, friends and loved ones. I really don’t think you should hate all year long and come on this day and start loving! it’s just a day where you should focus on love and forget hate.

Thats being said, I would like to take this chance and start of with saying I love you Cheeky! You have been a good friend, a beautiful cow and a great blog partner :P I love you

I love you also goes out to all our readers, you have been our source of support, whether you comment, you tweet or just read our silly posts, we LOVE you and we appreciate your continuous support.

I love you goes out to our lovely sponsors, thank you for believing in  us :)

We LOVE YOU all ! Share the love! and here’s a special dedication :P

Help: Save Baby Fahad

8 Feb

A couple of months ago, there was a case of a boy named Abdulkareem who needed urgent help to save him from losing his leg. Us and our fellow bloggers spread the word around the place to find someone who can donate a certain amount of money for his travel and operation expenses, luckily many people came ahead to help and he was saved.

Today we have a new case that’s worth your attention and help. Fahad (11 months old) is Syrian boy who was diagnosed with leukemia and needs a marrow transplant urgently. A donor for his case was found, but sadly the whole operation and the traveling cost would be around 37,000KD. His family does not have that kind of money.

We are taking this chance to ask YOU and for you to ask EVERYONE you know that could help in any way! This is a matter of life and death and you don’t really know the power of social media and word of mouth. Please spread the word as much as possible, this kid can live a happy life with a bit of help.

If you have any idea on how to help Fahad, please don’t hesitate to contact us on our email (moodyncheeky@gmail.com) and we will make sure to pass it to the right person, a medical report of Fahad’s case is also available if needed.
