i have had those days for the last two days at work!

one of the girls has resigned (who is my senior), so its me and an intern on my team currently!! everything that goes on is suddenly my fault according to my boss’ boss (my boss is away!)

so a document i wasn’t even incharge of became my problem..

an email that the girl wrote from my email became my fault! i’m just sick of it!

i’m ready to tear my hair out! i just need this weekend! so desperately!!!!!

This is pretty funny and weird at the same time! the 8 years old Juliet is singing some hardcore metal song about loving her dog and fish!! sounds weird yeah but somehow cool lol! and guess what, the video was shot by her mum, that’s some encouraging family you got there :P *head bangs*

Saturday:

i was walking to the supermarket (Spinneys) the other day on saturday which is a few minutes from my house to pick up some blueberries! (i love em and they have such a nice burst of flavour) and some raspberries (for the tangyness that makes my mouth water everytime i think about them).. this was the first time i was going there since i had returned from my holiday from Kuwait…

and as i am walking to Spinneys there is a man who says hello to me, I say hello also.. he asks me how i am and where i’ve been (please bear in mind i have never even seen this man before and don’t know who he is, but he seems to know of my travels).. i’m polite and then say goodbye, taking a different route to him..

Yesterday (Monday):

i got home from work and went straight to Spinneys to pick up some sun-dried tomatoes to add to the salad i was making as part of dinner.. and who do i see in there! the same man as Saturday (i’m gonna call him “man x” from now on).. he says hi.. and ofcourse i am polite back.. i don’t know if the guy knows my father or whatever…

he’s in the queue to pay for his things as i get near the queues too.. he tells me to go infront of him.. i said thank you thank you it’s okay.. and went to a different queue.. he’s done before me.. but as i come out i see him on the phone just standing there.. he shuts the phone as soon as i get out and starts walking with me… this is how the convo went

him: what did you buy
me: things for a salad
him: fruit salad?
me: no just a salad with vegetables
him: if you ever make a fruit salad u must invite me
me: i hate fruit salads, i like fruits on their own
him: ohhh.. do you live alone?
me: no i live with my parents
him: are you married?
me: no
him: i’d like very much to get married
me: i don’t ever wanna get married, such a waste of time.. i’m happy.. why do i need a man to cause problems..
him: nooo!!! its very good.. u can have a different life.. u can have a man with you and then u can have kids
me: i hate kids.. they annoy me.. cause sooo many problems..
him: i must invite you to my restaurant sometime (pointing at the restaurant right next to us)
me: i eat there often.. its really nice food..
him: its because your mouth is lovely that you taste the food as nice
me: (smile) byyyeee

Iran’s morality police are cracking down on the sale of Barbie dolls to protect the public from what they see as pernicious western culture eroding Islamic values, shopkeepers said on Monday.

As the West imposes the toughest ever sanctions on Iran and tensions rise over its nuclear program, inside the country the Barbie ban is part of what the government calls a “soft war” against decadent cultural influences.

“About three weeks ago they (the morality police) came to our shop, asking us to remove all the Barbies,” said a shopkeeper in a toy shop in northern Tehran.

We all probably grew up watching movies that shows people going to a therapist because they have serious problems! It’s either because they have lost a close person and can’t get over the fact that they no longer exist, or a couple facing problems in their life so they head to the marriage/relationship counsellor, or just a person who has some anger issues. No matter what it is, they always show us messed up people going to a therapist, which I think is wrong.

We meet different people everyday who we might think have some serious issues and need immediate action whether at work, family or friends. Those people don’t actually realize that they have a problem, a few of them who does don’t really wanna take it to a professional because in the Arab world therapy is for CRAZY people only. Not to forget also the fact that Kuwait in particular is very small and people care about their reputation and what people might think of them if they find out.

How would you know if you have a problem? or what are the signs that could tell a person is having a problem. This is the important question  now! To me this is how I rate people:

1. Depression: if a person is always depressed, can’t see anything good in his life, cries a lot, lost of interest in everything, doesn’t like to socialize with other, frustrated, all of these signs mean this person is going the wrong road in life! I’m personally frustrated with work and it can get me depressed every now and then, but there are so many other good things in my life that makes me happy.

2. Drugs: people who uses drugs (taking pills, alcohol, smoking) as a solution to make themselves feel better all the time. This is a huge problem as they end up addicted to that drug and obviously did not solve the main problem.

3. Anger: some people are always edgy, angry, mad at something, its like they are always on hold waiting for something wrong to happen so they can burst it all out! which probably would cause them lots of troubles and losing their close ones.

4. Health: some people may feel physical pain which is caused by some psychological problem that doctors can’t solve.

5. Low self confidence: people who always feel bad about themselves, they think they are ugly, they always compare themselves to others.

All of these things are signs that sometimes I notice with the people who I meet everyday, which makes me believe that those people need SERIOUS help asap and shouldnt take it for granted.

BUT on the other hand, I don’t think only those people should go and see a therapist, I think everyone should do that even if they think they don’t have a problem at all! now let’s be honest, we ALL had a problem somewhere in our lives, we all went through some tough times, we all have secrets, and we aren’t very educated in this field, so why not let someone professional take the lead and help you even if it’s just a small issue in your life! at the end it would make your life better wouldn’t it?

All am saying here is that am really interested in visiting a therapist some day! I think it would be fun and interesting, people should start looking at it in a different way.

Have you ever been to one? how did it go? and if no, would you?

today to compare we have two lovely british celebrities! we all love the british eh? ;p

well… who do you find hotter… is it elizabeth hurley:

or do you prefer keira knightly:

this song has been running around in my head for the last couple of days..

my favourite line: “u got it bad when u hang up and you call right back”

so how many of you do that? hang up from speaking to someone.. but you have to hear their voice again…

well unfortunately for you guys ;p ur screwed! love sucks ;p

old song – i love <3

Yesterday we were invited to attend and exclusive event for bloggers by RIM (Research In Motion) to showcase their recent updates and news. The event took place at the Marina Hotel (Atlantis Restaurant) where they redecorated the place with a very nice couches, tables and lights. I really liked how they looked into details to organize this event.

After saying hi to our friends, we were introduced to Mr. Mohammed Al Mefleh (Director Product Management in the Middle East) who went on stage and had an informative slide show for us. The main points that were discussed were:

1. The launch of OS 7.1

2. The new OS 2.0 for Blackberry PlayBook

3. The new BBM update 6.1

During the presentation, the passed around to everyone to checkout the Blackberry Porsche design which cost around 2,000$ and recently launched in Kuwait. To me the advised looked pretty cool and fast, I just don’t know if i ever get one how long it will survive with me! it seemed pretty fragile and sensitive, that just doesn’t work with me :P They also passed around a couple of the new generation Blackberries with the new operating system.

After we were done with the presentation and the Q&A, dinner was served (which was delicious btw), i got the chance to have a little chat with Mr. Al Mefleh. I asked him about a couple of things regarding the battery life and how to make it last longer. He advised me with alot of things and made sure that I change my old Blackberry Bold 9780 to the new one and gave it to me on the spot :D I felt special even though everyone got a new one anyway :P

I would like to thank RIM for organizing this event, it was definitely successful and would love to attend the next coming events, that’s another reason for me to stay loyal to Blackberry :D
