2003 was the golden year for internet shopping in Kuwait. The days where I was in Aramex’s office daily picking up huge shipments with competitive prices from all over the world, going home and enjoying the contents. Every thing was smooth and easy. I even subscribed to Vogue and Marie Claire magazines and I got them monthly, [...]
If you thought people who took up two parking spaces were bad, check out this guy! Yesterday in Jabriya Co-Op I found a car who
I was invited to watch the movie with Crumbs Movie night in the VIP cinema in 360 mall and that was quite an experience on its own (post). I am glad I had no disturbances watching the movie. I began crying out of nowhere in the movie up till the end. I cried not because [...]
Yesterday I was in 360 Cinescape when I saw an exhibition of the Cinema’s History and artifacts in Kuwait. It is so worth a visit and I enjoyed it very much. What caught my attention however is the stars who once sang in cinema Al Andalus. I knew Abdul halim, fairuz,om Kalthom sang there in [...]
If you’ve been reading my blog for a long time you would recognize the strange purple pasta above. No I didn’t make it, my beloved husband Butootee made
1- Breakfast at work. We do’t usually do breakfast at work with big gatherings and hoopla but it so happens that the first day of your diet always coincides with having breakfast at work. Which ruins the entire weekly plan :p 2- Family Gatherings. You have been good all week. Then comes the weekend with [...]
Yesterday I recieved a package by Aramex, on one side it had the usual sticker with my name and address… On the other side however was a long list of Aramex users with their shipment numbers and my name was highlighted in blue b3d!!! What on earth is that? Spreading people’s private information around with [...]
FINALLY! We have been wondering -and frankly secretly agonizing- about what this building was going to be for YEARS! Yes years on end… I marvelled at the beauty of the modern design of the building, I imagined it a funky house, a stylish Villa Moda like store, a fruniture store, a catering store, a haunted [...]
Ten days ago as I was preparing for the book signing I went to a nail parlor where I had a manicure. I was watching friends, eating a cookie, enjoying being pampered when the lady who was doing my manicure decided to massage my hands after the manicure. As she was massaging my right hand [...]
At last! I’ve been waiting for The Hangover 2 to hit the cinema screen for so long, I was really looking forward to watching it. Yesterday we got to see it even though people kept saying it was too chopped up to enjoy in Kuwait. For starters, the movie isn’t chopped off. It is blended [...]
Men of Q8 One hour before the wedding Take a bath, shave, put on bukhoor, wear your dishdasha, ghetra and 3eqal. Grab your accessories (pen mesba7 watch). Put your feet into a good gleaming sandals or shoes and go. During the wedding Go inside, congratulate the groom and his family, meet with friends over the [...]
As I was driving into work today I saw this white huge bear eating KDD ice cream on the back of the bus. Who the hell is that? Is this the mascot KDD chose to replace el7ajji wel 7ajiya? We are supposed to identify with him y3ni now? You know because Kuwait is filled with [...]
I have come across this outrageous story on Ahmad Al-Mosallam’s blog and I thought I would share it with you and see what you think. I can relate to it because my brother had the same experience where he wasn’t compensated fairly but with a different shipping company. Whose fault it is? Who is there [...]
My dear VW Touareg was taken to the service on Saturday. My husband came home with some paper he gave me and asked me what exactly was I doing with the car? Apparently the blue marks on the Touareg’s body in the picture above are all hits and bumps? and that they were inflicted by [...]
Yesterday and for the first time since our marriage years, my husband “accidentally” opened the car door for me! I say accidentaly because I know his view on car door opening. Also, he didn’t keep the door open or close it. He kinda yanked it open by mistake thinking it was his door and then [...]
Its really unfair. Women look their best when they are in their 20′s and early 30′s while men keep getting better looking as they grow older. How are we supposed to compete ballah? Its a good thing our men in the middle east do not age as gracefully as those guys. I wonder why that [...]
I found a patch of sand created by our year round sandstorms on my roof… and this bird apparently had so much fun trodding in this sandy patch! Don’t you just hate those sandstorms?!
May seems to be the month of good byes! First the KDD ice creams of our childhood were gone, next the old frappucinos of Starbux are changed, and now the phase II fountain in the Avenues is gone as well. I love this fountain! I loved sitting in Casper & Gambini’s and having breakfast there, [...]
Let me give you a piece of advice to keep in mind the next time you go shopping for a laptop. Look closely at the windows stickers. If its like the one shown in the picture above and spells “Windows 7 Starter” then run for your life. Do not spend one KD on that laptop simply [...]
Today, I have finally come to terms that I will never drink another good tasting Starbucks Frappucino again, and that I might as well give up trying. I don’t know what changed exactly, but the new Frappucinos taste horrible! They are more like chilled flavoured milk shakes rather than the lovely blended coffee I used [...]
I am amazed by people who, if you tell them about a new business or a new place in town, would ask you ‘Who is the owner?’ before you could even continue your story about the place. Their excuse actually being ‘I don’t buy from a place without knowing who the owner is!’ Why? What [...]
I was in the Co-Op a couple of days ago getting Nakhi & Bejal when I noticed the “New prices”. Two weeks ago a box of Nakhi or Bajela cost 300 fils only Now it costs 400 fils! A 30% increase! Eshda3wa? What happened? Did they increase the salaries or something? Is it because of [...]
Remember the yesterday’s post (link)? I recieved a response to the email i sent yesterday from KDD. Here is what it said… “Dear Danderma, Thank you for writing to us. We greatly appreciate your email and empathize with your sentiments. As brand owners, we have had to deal with a similar emotion since the names [...]
Dear KDD, I’ve been a fan of your products for over 30 years now. I grew up drinking KDD Chocolate milk. I memorized the word Columbia as a child even before i spoke English. I was familiar with the names Failaka and Burgan before i knew what they meant and as a result my eyes lit up [...]
