Talent Scout: The Fisherman by Mubarak Al Mubarak

Kuwaiti youth excell again, i have the great honor of presenting to you guys a small trailer of a homemade nearly zero Budget movie. The fisherman is made by the talented and resourceful Mubarak Al Mubarak. I freshly graduated AUK student. This is a short movie he is still working on with the goal of sending it to a culutral film festival.


I’m one of the people who are working on a Kuwaiti film, and we would love to post the trailer on your blog so we can get feedback from the viewers before we move to the next step of production. We are a group of Kuwaiti youth who are interested in Film-making and cinema. We are trying to make serious Kuwaiti films, but since we are doing it ourselves and without any form of support, we need all the help that we can get.



If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask:

I wish him the best of luck, He does need our support and would appreciate your feedback about the trailer. Any possible Sponsers would be of extreme help.

Talent Scout: Aziz Al Mudaf Q8's Next Big Thing.

Hes Hot hes EXTREMLEY talented, and like his Paintings he's got an assfull of attitude. Aziz is an artist, if you haven't gotten it yet, as well as a good friend (mu ib kafa). I met him a year ago or two ago, and everytime he shows me his newest painting im dumbfounded. His art to me is modern, and innovative. I admit i know little about art, but i do know that this artist has the ability to make it far. If he keeps his head in place, and matures at the right pace.

I wish him all the luck and success.

American Woman singing Arabic Classics

Saw this on ilSul6ana

An american lady is a fan of the old classics of arab and Khaleeji music such as Mohammed Abdu and Khaled Abdulra7am. I wish the current generation were more interested in our arabic icons and singers instead of 50 cent, eminem and tupac etc..

New Blog: The Twenty Fitfth Hour

Hey all, well i just wanted to congratulate a new blog called the Twenty Fifth Hour, by the interesting and random Francheska. The blog comines different topics ranging from TV's Greys anatomy to old eid habits. Very interesting, very refreshing I really recommend checking this blog out. Francheska's blog is http://thetwentyfifth.wordpress.com/ ot you can click the link here or on the blog roll to your right.

Francheska, i wish you the best of luck..

F.R.I.E.N.D.S and Rap music banned!!

I was out at Virgin for god knows what, especially during the Eid Congestion. Neways, i wanted to get the Friends 10 season box set for my friend, and when i asked them for it,they told me it was banned that along with the sale of any Rap Music which can be extended to RnB..

I am shocked and i was just wondering, is this wrong or whateever? like i wish they did this during my high schol years before the 50 cent tupac revolution in kuwait, i swear to god i had my cousins son coming to me telling me they hate him because hes black, i was about to slap him. Hathi ili buga little kids being influenced and creating racisim. Anyways yeah i wish they did this years ago, However, nobody really buys orginial CD's so it wouldn't have had much of an effect,but whats this rubbish, who told them they should and could do this! Ok so i don't really care for rap music and i can get friends elsewhere but if it starts here, where will it stop..

The whole Kanye VMA inccident, & Barrack Obamas opinon of Kanye'

Sorry i have not been keeping up, but as you know the last days of Ramathan have come upon us, as does salat al jiam, so that along with the new discovery of online gaming has cause me to be a bit busy,

Anyways Heres the deal,

Taylor swift, won her first MTV moon man award for best music video, shes seventeen this innocent, god loving i will honor myself untill marriage, ex jonas borthers girfriend went on, and she had the hearts of millions. Why because she has that baby innocent aww her first award how cute and special thing going for her.

This was her video:
WARNING THERE IS A HARAM SCENE, at the end so stop it before the end if ur watching.the last 20/10 secs i think.



cute, dont expect anymore of these songs though.

Now mr. Ultimate MTV VMAs bad boy kanye west had his THIRD outburst and destroyed her momment. He went on stage took her mic shouted that Beyonce should have won, and went off stage. He also was caught entering the VMAS with a bottle of Cognac <-- Alcohol *GASP* :O HARAM ista'3firallah for mentioning it, sarcasm, just for the overly sensitive ones.



What ensued was interesting,

Beyonce won an award and she gave her talk tim to Taylor, very classy, kanye broke down in called taylor apologizd in public on his blog and the jay leno show and decided that he needs some time off. Many artists gave in their opinons and bashed him on facebook tiwtter people either were with him or against him some said "Freedom of speech" others called him bad names. Barrack Obama even gave an adjective of Kanye. hm what else, O yeah IF JAY Z DON't SAY NUTHIN AND HE BE HER HUSBAND THEN U DON't SAY NUTHIN. thats wat jayz was thinking. Also some people compared the kanye incident with the incident at the congress where some1 shouted "YOUR A LIAR" while Barrack Buhussein Obama was giving a speech.

My view, Taylor swift had the most amazing debut as it will never be forgotten. Kanye is spoiled and its sad he lost his closest human being (his mom) he never got along with the MTV VMAs but he seems like the kid whose mom always said your the best at everything blah blah. However i do believe that he dosen't approve of the way MTV chooses the winners and he is hurting and has issues so... i love kanye no matter what nehow.

O AND am i the only one who thnks that Taylor Swift is Freakishly tall for a 17 year old counrty singing girl. Like i would be kinda scared to break up with that. Sorry, i mean, telling her we can't chat on "messenger" or "il bb".

well here is all the footage ya'll should need

You can also click this link to see a quick overview including the actual incident.

The funniest thig was that people were calling him "Heartless" lool, o am i the only one who finds that funny?

The 12 most annoying types of Facebookers

VIA CNN

CNN has an article which goes through 12 of the most annoying types of facebook users. The funny thing is that,the article is kinda accurate.. luckily i will never admit to being any of the types they specify :p

The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bore. "I'm waking up." "I had Wheaties for breakfast." "I'm bored at work." "I'm stuck in traffic." You're kidding! How fascinating! No moment is too mundane for some people to broadcast unsolicited to the world. Just because you have 432 Facebook friends doesn't mean we all want to know when you're waiting for the bus.

The Self-Promoter. OK, so we've probably all posted at least once about some achievement. And sure, maybe your friends really do want to read the fascinating article you wrote about beet farming. But when almost EVERY update is a link to your blog, your poetry reading, your 10k results or your art show, you sound like a bragger or a self-centered careerist.

The Friend-Padder. The average Facebook user has 120 friends on the site. Schmoozers and social butterflies -- you know, the ones who make lifelong pals on the subway -- might reasonably have 300 or 400. But 1,000 "friends?" Unless you're George Clooney or just won the lottery, no one has that many. That's just showing off.

The Town Crier. "Michael Jackson is dead!!!" You heard it from me first! Me, and the 213,000 other people who all saw it on TMZ. These Matt Drudge wannabes are the reason many of us learn of breaking news not from TV or news sites but from online social networks. In their rush to trumpet the news, these people also spread rumors, half-truths and innuendo. No, Jeff Goldblum did not plunge to his death from a New Zealand cliff.

The TMIer. "Brad is heading to Walgreens to buy something for these pesky hemorrhoids." Boundaries of privacy and decorum don't seem to exist for these too-much-information updaters, who unabashedly offer up details about their sex lives, marital troubles and bodily functions. Thanks for sharing.

The Bad Grammarian. "So sad about Fara Fauset but Im so gladd its friday yippe". Yes, I know the punctuation rules are different in the digital world. And, no, no one likes a spelling-Nazi schoolmarm. But you sound like a moron.

The Sympathy-Baiter. "Barbara is feeling sad today." "Man, am I glad that's over." "Jim could really use some good news about now." Like anglers hunting for fish, these sad sacks cast out their hooks -- baited with vague tales of woe -- in the hopes of landing concerned responses. Genuine bad news is one thing, but these manipulative posts are just pleas for attention.

The Lurker. The Peeping Toms of Facebook, these voyeurs are too cautious, or maybe too lazy, to update their status or write on your wall. But once in a while, you'll be talking to them and they'll mention something you posted, so you know they're on your page, hiding in the shadows. It's just a little creepy.

The Crank. These curmudgeons, like the trolls who spew hate in blog comments, never met something they couldn't complain about. "Carl isn't really that impressed with idiots who don't realize how idiotic they are." [Actual status update.] Keep spreading the love.

The Paparazzo. Ever visit your Facebook page and discover that someone's posted a photo of you from last weekend's party -- a photo you didn't authorize and haven't even seen? You'd really rather not have to explain to your mom why you were leering like a drunken hyena and French-kissing a bottle of Jagermeister.

The Obscurist. "If not now then when?" "You'll see..." "Grist for the mill." "John is, small world." "Dave thought he was immune, but no. No, he is not." [Actual status updates, all.] Sorry, but you're not being mysterious -- just nonsensical.

The Chronic Inviter. "Support my cause. Sign my petition. Play Mafia Wars with me. Which 'Star Trek' character are you? Here are the 'Top 5 cars I have personally owned.' Here are '25 Things About Me.' Here's a drink. What drink are you? We're related! I took the 'What President Are You?' quiz and found out I'm Millard Fillmore! What president are you?"

You probably mean well, but stop. Just stop. I don't care what president I am -- can't we simply be friends? Now excuse me while I go post the link to this story on my Facebook page

More Polloution.. My Poor Country..

Picture by Mark from 248am.com .

Kuwait needs its beaches desperatley! how else are we supposed to get away from all the za7ma, croud, crazy driving and annoying people that are far away from the chalets, and beach resorts.. However, kuwait as we all kno is falling apart, and now ALWATANDAILY newspaper reports that a sewage plant in mishref has broken down and the sewage will be redirected to the sea! WTF?

"Environmental disaster awaits Jon AlـKuwait
Haned AlـSayed

KUWAIT: A looming disaster of a great magnitude is about to strike the Gulf (Jon AlـKuwait), which has been receiving unprocessed sewage from the Mishref pumping station. The station is being operated with just three pumps as 13 pumps are out of service due to the unprecedented pollution with the sewage level rising to such a dangerous level that it could have caused the explosion at the station.

In the face of this, the Ministry of Public Works has no option but to divert the sewage to the sea through the rain drainage networks. The ministry, later on, announced that the station had collapsed completely and that it was being fixed.
Sources close to the ministry intimated that the repair process will not be completed for another two months at least during which time the sewage from all areas will be diverted to the sea, adding that the station can only pump 340,000 liters during peak hours. The sources went on to warn that the mishap will equally affect the sewage distillation station in Sulaibiya.

The sources further attributed this problem to indecisiveness on the part of the concerned officials to fix the mishaps since months, which added pressure on the three functioning pumps."

We fought so hard to get done with polloution after the gulf war, now we are pollouting the country with our own hands..

Am i in a "third world" proverty stricken country without knowing?

Bilah 3lah!

loooooool.

Ay Karamba!

Kuwait Parks to get Renovated :D

I got the picture from the rekuwait blog


An article appeared in ALWATANDAILY today about a renovation plan of kuwaits parks with a 25 million kd budget, obviously i couldnt be happier because WE DESPERATLY need it, they also plan on beautifying the abdali road,

"National authorities are executing a plan to green and beautify up to 60 public parks throughout the country.
The mega scheme, covering 60 gardens of a 600,000ـsquare meter space, is projected to cost up to KD 25 million, said Ibrahim Toufic, Deputy General Director for Agricultural and Beautifying Affairs at the Public Authority for Agriculture and Fish Resources "

If you wan to understand how important it is, click here and the new architectual blog Rekuawit will explain a bit how it all works. Rekuwait might possibly be the one working on it, if they are, i wish them the best of luck because with the people they work with, they are going to need it..

Thank You 4thringroad!

I was looking through some of the blogs i usually read, and 4thringroad and i saw this video they had which they were talking about an event that happens during it. The video which is an old video of rowaished singing after the end of the war and the happiness and community love and family kinda love that Kuwaitis USED to share. It just reminded me of my beautiful country and its people and how i am lucky enough to have been able to have experienced just a bit of that, even though it was towards the end of the "golden years" and way past the amazing 70's. I don't know i may be exaggerating bas i really feel bad that ith dosent exist, that unity, its more of everyone helps only his family or friends instead of haveing the ideaology that kuwaitis are all one family. Ok i have to return to being a dude and be a bit less emotional so enjoy the song and video.

All English All The Time!

Ok i know this is olllldd but i just fixed my reciever and i never paid attention to the Melody Tunes channel. I saw these ads a all i could think of is that i just have to put these up, just in case someone has not seen them!!!

It's Official! Cristiano Ronaldo to Madrid!

Statement From Real Madrid's Official Website:

"Real Madrid CF and Manchester United have confirmed a definitive agreement for the transfer of the player Cristiano Ronaldo, to take place on July 1."The player will be tied to Real Madrid for the next six seasons and will be presented on the 6th of July at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium."

I am all for him being at Real Madrid, however i disapprove of his price tag, and the fact that he was bought along with Kaka, and the wages he is going to earn. No human being is worth that.

I wish the club would take a page from Barcelona FC's Book and look to the youth team for a change and use players from there.

Good Luck..

Why Egypt lost in the Confederatuibs Cup..

So heres the deal, egyptian players cambe back on night claiming that they had been robbed of $2,400 may be 600 kd. They complained about it and made a fuss, accused the hotel staff and then an investegation is opened up and the hotel video cameras footage is checked. What they found was a bunch of "Female Ladies of the Night" or in otherwords escorts moving from room to room of the egyptian national team team mates. Very embarassing. Unfortunatley despite a brave showing following this inccident the Egyptian national team lost and their spokes person did not offer a statement.

Both ways you rif3ataw the arab football image before this PR mess.

This is what the article from Goal.com said:


South African Media: Egypt Players Were Robbed By Prostitutes, Not Burglars
The 2009 Confederations Cup has its very own mystery...
21 Jun 2009 14:54:52


The South African media is claiming that an alleged robbery from the hotel rooms of some Egypt players on Thursday evening was nothing to do with burglars but with prostitutes.

On Friday, the Pharaohs’ team manager Inas Mazhar reported that $2,400 US had been stolen from the rooms of some players on the night the African champions defeated Italy 1-0 in the 2009 Confederations Cup.

City Press said on Sunday morning that police sources confirmed that there were no signs of forced entry and added that CCTV footage showed scantily-clad women moving around a number of hotel rooms during what seemed to be a party.

“The players must explain why their rooms were not broken into and why their room safes were not tempered with but they still lost money,“ an unnamed police source told City press.

Sunday World, another Johannesburg publication, quoted a police officer as saying, “we have confirmed that some of the players brought prostitutes whom they picked up on Oxford Road to their hotel rooms and we have strong suspicions that they were cleaned by ladies of the night.”

Security guards who guard the hotel told the same newspaper that: “when they (the players) were robbed, they pointed their dirty fingers at hotel staff – that’s nonsense.”

The Egyptian team spokesperson was unavailable for comment.

كتب إقبال العثيمين :

إن من أهم سمات المجتمعات المتقدمة هي في حرية تداول المعلومات وحرية الوصول إليها. وتعتبر قضية احتكار المعلومات أو حجبها من أهم القضايا التي تدق ناقوس الخطر تجاه البيئة الثقافية في أي مجتمع كان. وإن ما قامت به وزارة المواصلات اخيرا ممثلة بشركة «كواليتي نت» من اغلاق موقع «الهاي 5» الشهير و«سكاي بي»، وتصريحات مسؤولي إدارة الإعلام الأمني أخيرا بشأن التوصل إلى أسماء وهواتف مواطنين ومقيمين، ما هي إلا انتهاك للحياة الخاصة للمواطنين والتبشير ببداية تشديد قبضة الرقابة في الكويت على وسائل الإعلام والانترنت.
ان الانترنت تعتبر أكبر انجاز تكنولوجي حصل في القرن الماضي. وللانترنت سلبيات وايجابيات مثلها مثل اي اختراع تكنولوجي آخر، إن كان التلفزيون او التلفون أو حتى السيارة. واستخدام هذه التكنولوجيا يعتبر جزءا لا يتجزأ من الطفرة العلمية غير المسبوقة التي يعيشها العالم من حولنا. وتلعب الانترنت دورا أساسيا في قضية العولمة، حيث تقارب بين الشعوب، كما تزودهم بالمعلومات العلمية والفنية والتعليمية والتجارية والحكومية والأخبار والترفيه والسياسة وغيرها من مجالات أخرى لا حصر لها. وان اي نوع من المتابعة عليها يعتبر نوعا من الرقابة، فقضية اتاحة المعلومات يجب أن تكون هي الأصل والأساس، والاستثناء يكون لقضايا تمس فقط أمن البلاد، أما الرقابة على الحياة الخاصة للناس فهي أمر مرفوض لانها تعتبر تعديا لمسؤولية الأسرة ودورها في التربية والتنشئة.
ان حرية تداول المعلومات تعتبر من سمات المجتمعات المتقدمة، وهي درع للتنمية المستدامة، ولا يمكن أن تكون هناك تنمية حقيقية ان لم تنبع من شفافية صنع القرار. ان حق الوصول إلى المعلومات يعتبر من أهم العناصر الضرورية لبناء مجتمع النزاهة، وان المزيد من تداول المعلومات ضروري لاطلاع المواطن على المعلومات، ومما يساعد على ثقة المواطن بعمل الحكومة. فالدول الديموقراطية الحقة لا تستورد التكنولوجيا القمعية كما يحصل في الصين مثلا، لمساعدتها على مراقبة ما يفعل الناس عبر الانترنت، لانها بهذا تقضي على حرية الناس، لأنها لا تحترم حقوق الأفراد. إن فرض الرقابة على المعلومات للتقييد يخالف أيضا دستور دولة الكويت الذي يكفل حرية التعبير.
ان الزيادة الملحوظة في حجب المواقع الالكترونية في الكويت اخيرا، أدى إلى اطلاق مجموعات على «الفيس بوك» تنادي بحرية التعبير. وهذه مجموعات كبيرة من الشباب تعمل تحت مسمى مجموعات حرية التعبير من أمثال «جوب كفاية» ومجموعة «لا لإغلاق الفيس بوك» وغيرها من المجموعات الشبابية التي تطالب بوضع حد لانتهاكات حقوق الإنسان، كما تنادي بانترنت حر من دون وصاية.
إننا في الكويت يجب علينا إن أردنا مواكبة التطور الحضاري أن نضع حدا لانتهاكات حقوق الإنسان التي تمارس من قبل شركات مزودي الانترنت، وذلك بإغلاق مواقع على شبكة الانترنت، وان نعمل على ترسيخ ثقافة حرية تداول المعلومات والبعد عن ثقافة المنع والحجب السائدة في الوزارات والمؤسسات الحكومية والمعششة في عقول المسؤولين منذ زمن أكل الدهر عليه وشرب.

Salhiya And Villa Moda fake

Dont Ask what i have got with emails today, but first

VILLA MODA HAVE A 50% END OF SEASON SALE IN THE FREE TRADE ZONE AND IN AL FANAR MALL (THIS IS CURRENT AND UNRELATED TO THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION)

I have never liked going to Villa Moda or those high end shopping stores despites my mothers attempt to force me te=here as i would rather just buy the stuff online. Whats interesting is that i already have ear that Villa Moda have been selling fake designer clothes and that after they were exposed in the news they immediatly had a 90% off Sale which was held for a while at the Zumeridah. 3ayb 3alykom cheating the public who spend their money expecting original and quality clothes. Anyways this was the email i got with the pictures:

Death Of ACK student Emails

I have been reciveing multiple emails about the death of an ACK student and i was wonddering if anyone has heard anything about this. All Names are removed. After i consult my advisors i will rethink about releasing the full information that i was given through the emails. Also i have removed the names because nothing is official and the accusations being thrown around are very serious. I would like to add two things, people it is disrespectful to send emails of a dead persons wounds, think of the family before you do it. Respect our cultral and societal values which do not approve of the disrespect being shown to the victims family.

DEATH OF --------- -- ---------



On the 26th of April(name removed) and (name removed) picked up (victim) from his/her house and since he/she left he/she did not return any calls or text messages. After 24 hours (Victim) was dead and was found in (name removed)'s apartment where (name removed), (name removed) and (name removed) the son/daughter of (name removed)were.

After washing (victim)'s body stabs, burn marks and bruises were found all over his/her body. Since the day (victim) has died (name removed) was no where to be seen and (name removed) and (name removed) were in the police station.

(Victim) was KILLED by (name removed), (name removed) and his/her spouse (name removed)



I have attached a video of (Victim) in this e_mail so that all of you can see that it is NOT any of the stories people were making up.

I am going to see what the after math will be on sunday at the social circles in the universities.

Are You Serious? Pictures of The Month..

Ok so whats wrong with this pic? the fact that the Grande Limitted is a fake sign. Someone actually went through the effort to fake the Limited sign for a '03 camry. I just find that hilarious!! I have heard of people with insecurity issues like Dodge car owners adding an R/T - Hemi sign or posche Cayene owners changing their Cayene signs to Cayene S or GT or whatever that only the true Porsche Cayene (overwhelminginsanity will kill me if i spell it wrong) appreciaters or lovers such as overwhelminginsanity will realize the difference and go diva on the owner for doing it, but for camrys and what not??!! The LIMITED IS SPELT WRONG!! People please just be satisfied with the car YOU CAN AFFORD NOT BUY ON INSTALLMENTS. There was an AMAZING qoute on a car i read but didn't take a picture of it:

PRADO CASH

MU CAYENE INSTALLMENTS.

if you want a cayene or fancy car then get your head down study, work save up and figure out if its worth it and if you can affor to keep it!

The spelling is just Sad. I am never going back to this place because dirty/shady people hang out there, (Hookers, Pimps, drunk dudes) The manager offered me a private cabinet if i had a woman with me!!

Ya3ni? Your car is meant to be a classy car, don't you look at the ad's or the book? You don't put angel instead of cayene!!!

A Better view...

Khaled Better not see you on the street or he is going to go nuts.

NOT KUWAITI ENOUGH?!

I was talking to a dear friend of mine and because of the statement she made "Your not Very Kuwaiti" it dawned on me how different i was. Then 2 hours later i relalized i am very Kuwaiti, liberal and a bit westernized but Kuwaiti. AND NO NOT A CHICKEN NUGGET! I go to chalet and deewaniya i had two phones once i had a mo5ayam(Tent in the dessert)i wear dishdashas oftern and i have gotten the hang of chmaq(white/red and white Headress)i love kuwaiti food, and i love my dialect. However as i promised i wouldn't continue to annoy her about it i wondered if the videoclip i found on 248am above is more of what she was expecting in a Kuwaiti Enough.

I first saw the YOUTUBE clip on Mark's blog 248am.com

Why? Dont use steroids!

I have just joined a gym, pretty well known on on the gulf road, "Ras Al Salmiyah" the new one next to auk. I stepped out of my car and i dropped my bottle of water. I picked it up and saw about 25 needles scattered all over the place. Its a shame. They really need to b e told to be patient and understand that loking like hulk i not going to get you admiring looks from whichever sex your interested in. Plus it much worse if you have a family. STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS/STEROIDS/ANY NEEDLE NOT GIVEN BY A QUALIFFIED AND APPROVED DOCTOR.

Car on Fire at AUK Car Park

I'm waiting to get the email i sent from my Black berry with the pictures of a Crown Victoria that was on fire at the Parking lot next to auk and the side facing Salem Al Mubarak Road. There was no sound of a huge explosion as i was at AUK finishing off a Research Paper and Project, but the car was completley gone, windows were destoyes it was leaking gas from before and then water from the several fire trucks that surrounded it. Luckily there was no one injured and people driving did not "Rubber-Neck" and cause a traffic Jam.

Khatak il Sew whomever you are :S

Pictures coming up soon..

Funky Arabs - Most Risque Arab Music Video Yet?

This is a new music video clip that has (forgot what i wanted to say due to facebook) pretty much gone a step further than most Arabic Music Videos Yet so i was suprised when i saw the amount of lets say sexual inuendo? or cleavege being shown, im not angry im just suprised that people have gone that far and again their music sucks so bad the only way to get it out is through putting some hot chicks in the clip. NOW what i really thought:


Awal Shay aka First Thing, The singer has NO right in Advertising arabs the way he did in the music clip, we are not how he pictures "Funky Arabs" in the Video because not even in lebanon is it like that, let us turn you on? whos You and why is he saying in Arabs ought toturn him on? if a person wants to really see and understand arabs (the second which is impossible) then he needs to visit the country and not the night clubs in beirut, gymmase' or wherever yes the clubs are a part of the modern arab world but that isnt really what were all about. I am not anti club? if they are helping the econmy and the people are ok with it then why the hell not, i love lebanon its a beautiful country, its just mala da3i (no need) for him to whore us out :S

i just don't like idoits or generalization, plus just to let you know im a hypocrite.

Blackberry Vs. Apple

I love Ads and when two companies go against eachother it becomes very entertaining. so heres a Blackberry ad taking a shot at Apple.





This was Apples response.

Blackberry!!

I have joined the fad and gotten a Blackberry 8900 a.k.a Javelin, and all i can say so far is that its AMAZING. Pretty much everything from the Blackberry Messenger, to the Games on it and the ability to recieve and send emails, even the contacts are just soo much more simpler. I know people will say other phones Have that but i don't know life just got more simpler and funner.

However the down side is some of the people who have tried to add me on the messenger have been rejected or something i don't fully understand and the battery life is terrible, even after turning off the Wifi. Whats more my phone did lag a little bit in the begining and the profile settings are not user friendly. I got an O2 Javelin so maybe thats why i have been facing these difficulties but nothing life stopping.

Porsche Raise their Prices

My friend KB recentley brought it to my attention that Porsche have raised ther prices for example:

Cayenne base was 14,500 KD now ---> 17,300 KD

Cayenne S was around 19,000 Now--> 21,600 KD

Caynne GTS Now --> 24,200

Cayenne Turbo Now --> 33,100

Cayenne Turbo S Now--> 40,200

Unfortunatly the info KB had about the old prices was erased :S

Seems like their way of battiling the depression is by overpricing cars to us Kuwaitis.

Wonder Why

Did you ever Wonder,

Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?

Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?

Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Why is it that to stop Windows XP, you have to click on "Start"?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?

Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?

Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes?

Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?


I know this is some facebook type thingy but its fun to read :)

Movie Review: X Men Origins: Wolverine....FAIL

It hurts me soo much, it does but i can't understand how they failed this movie. The Special effects were sooo Amateur the directing and screen play was near Horrendous, the storyline left skipped too many scenes. HOW HOW COULD YOU LEFT DOWN THE MILLIONS OF FANS. This movie had so much potential it needed some investment thats all. Was this because of the economic Depression? Lack of funds? I COULD SEE THE LINES Attached to one of the actors in the begining scenes!! they are their for a few secs!!.

The only highlight was Liev Schriber/Sabertooth and Hugh Jackmans/Wolverines acting besides that there was way too many corny scenes and again the effects were horrible! HORRIBLE!! i know AUK students who could make the same effects in the MAC lab or on the "Alice" program. Especially his CLAWS!! WHICH WERE BETTER IN THE PREVIOUS 3 MOVIES How dare they. Sorry im a bit emotional with dissapointment of waiting for this movie since i heard about it years ago. I hope they imrove the next ones and that the people who make it are never hired again. Very dissapointing.

This is the trailer:



Unless i saw i different version i give it a 2/5
but nevertheless its a must see because its an X Men film.

UPDATE: The One I am seeing now is defintiley not the one your going to see but still the one you see willl not be much better Special Effects wise.
