When my husband dragged me to the cinema to watch Brave I had pursed my lips and decided that I would be having a bad time. But I had to
Exactly one year and ten days ago I wrote a post about trying to save up in my NBK Camel Money Bank, or 7asalat el jamal as we call it in Kuwait (post). I vowed to open it one year later during this Ramadan and thanks be to god, I was alive and well just [...]
Its no secret that I am a big fan of Fatima Al-Othman and her amazing designs “f2o Designs“. I love them so much I’ve had her illustrate my cherished Dathra and her two -and insha2 Allah third- book covers (post). Most of us have seen
Last week I received a very cute invitation + Ramadan nuqsa from the newly opened Fursa store (post). The event was yesterday and it was my first time visiting Fursa.
Its been a while since I did a do you remember this cartoon post! I suddenly remembered this cartoon that I’ve seen in 1992 or 1993 maybe and I googled it. In Arabic it was called Seeta El7anoon -don’t ask- but it turns out that its a Japanese anime movie called “Grave of the Fireflies”. [...]
A while back and while I was still in the UK I learned that f2o was selling hoodies! If you know me you would know that I am crazy about 3 things; Denim Jackets, T-Shirts, and Hoodies! I can never have enough of those three. Its like an addiction. A hoodie from f2o? A MUST [...]
I was in Virgin Mega Store the other day looking at DVDs when I saw these in the Disney Section! I was so happy two see them! My friends the Gummy Bears from the 80′s! I used to
I think it was 1992 when Captain Planet took us by storm. We first saw the Arabic version (Forsan Al-Kawkab) in KTV and fell in love with it (Captain Planet was called Captain Faris). That summer when we went to London my father
Hypothetically, lets say you were invited to a Halloween party tonight -or throwing one and you were going to dress up in a custom this year, what would you choose? The answer came to me naturally: Um Khammas! I adore Um Khammas, a7ebha! A7eb her sense of humor, a7eb her long tongue o short fuse, [...]
I was trying to google something just now when I noticed the Google Logo showcasing Esma3il Yassin! Is it the day he was born or dead? I am not sure I am not an Esma3il Yassin fan AT ALL. Although both my husband and my father are huge fans. I usually get agitated if someone [...]
I’ve Always admired f2o’s designs, prints, and drawings. This year I recieved and email from the talented artist behind f2o to inform me that she had come up with dara3a with a twist! A hand painted T-shirt dara3a that had the ramadan feel of a dara3a without the excessive embillishmens or the heavy feel of [...]
As a child of the 80′s I was obsessed with the Bionics Six cartoon shown on KTV2 every week. It must have been 1987 when I waited for a new episode every week and recorded them, replayed them over and over, dreamt about them all the time, and eventually collecting their toys. I still have [...]
Sindibad is one of my top 3 favorite 80′s cartoons!!! I love Sindibad! I never stopped watching Sindibad! The theme song makes me tingle and i’ve always had a crush on 3li baba! On my last trip to Dubai i bought the complete collection on DVD even though i have all of them on VHS [...]
Once upon a time when Re7ab Complex wasn’t all about video games, there was a library in the basement called “3alam Thaqafat El6efel”… they made subscribtions for kids and sold educational books and toys… they also sold Arabic Tin Tin Comics. My father came home one day with a bag full of Arabic Tin Tin [...]
One of my favourite cartoons EVER! The episode when Judy joins the school and eats and eats and eats… and the ice cream she ate… i still remember salivating while watching them eat! It was so funny and witty… the mystery of who that good man was sending poor crazy Judy all those stuff with kindness… it was [...]
You have seen the designs, you may have bought them on line and worn them as well… now you MUST visit the blog! I have been a fan of F2O’s designs for years and always wanted to have my own shirt with her signature cartoon drawings… The lovely talented young owner designed a lovely adorable [...]
Whenever i am in Dubai i make sure i pass by a video store or a Virgin Mega Store and browse whatever old cartoon collections they have available for sale. I love our old cartoons. I still watch our old cartoons and i think the cartoons of the current generation are pathetic -aside from Conan- [...]
Dates back to the mid 1980′s… maybe 1987? I think it was shown in Ramadan i am not sure… what i am sure of though is that we had taped it and watched it, over and over and over, until 1990! I remember it was my & my siblings favourite lunch time cartoon… whenever i hear [...]
I was browsing the kids DVD section in HMV when i saw the DVD above that looked very very familiar. I picked it up and it hit me… i know this show! I didn’t know it’s name – now i do- but i remember it being shown on KTV2 back in the mid 80′s… i [...]
This cartoon was probably the end of all good meaningful cartoons of the 80′s era… it was a very strange one that is not very understandable, it aired in late 1991 or early 1992… my baby sister could barely speak but every day after school i would let her sing along with the song… until [...]
Does any one remember this? It was very very popular in the early 90′s… the guy loses his dad and he tries to find him… every episode he gets closer to him then he misses him! I still like the episodes very much… and i wanted the little horse blink as a friend… i think [...]
