Someone To Watch Over Me....


The lyrics of this song came to mind and were inspired by Papillona.. So girl..this one's for you:

There's a saying old
Says that love is blind.
Still we're often told
"Seek and ye shall find."

So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind.
Looking everywhere,
Haven't found him yet;

He's the big affair I can't forget
Only man I ever think of with regret.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that he
Turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me.

I'm a littLe lamb who's lost in the wood;
I know I could
Always be good
To one who'll watch over me.

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome,
To my heart he carries the key

Won't you tell him, please,
to put on some speed,
Follow my lead...Oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me.

Negativity Brings Bad Weather...


It isn't easy to go around Kuwait without noticing how there's a sense of insecurity and negativity roaming around. No doubt the words "Allah Yaster" has been said over and over again. Which in and of itself is proof that everybody is on high alert...waiting...

If we were to take the concept of spirituality...were they say that we are all connected in the universe...and therefore connected to the weather...one can see how bad the negativity is just based on the weather!...It SUCKS!

And so I ask you dear blogger..to stop for a moment and meditate...let go of all negative thoughts...sit crossed legged...close your eyes and affirm to yourself..."Kuwait will be fine...Kuwait will be fine"...whenever a negative thought comes in...push it out gently and affirm again..."Kuwait will be fine"...

If all bloggers spent ten minutes doing this...mark my words..the weather...both literally and emotionally would improve...and that is exactly what we need...positive affirmations for a peaceful tomorrow...

No doubt..."Ala be theker Allah tatma2enu el guloob"...and that is highly recommended of course...but also..don't forget to meditate and let go of any negative thoughts and affirm..."Kuwait will be fine"...

We seriously can't afford to entertain any negative thoughts these days...and the crappy weather agrees with me...so now...close your eyes..breath deeply...affirm.. and watch the sun come out...

Kuwait will be fine...be ethen Allah...wa tafa2alu 7'airan...tajido...

Bloggers & Colors...


Having met a few bloggers lately..I was pretty surprised to find out that they were expecting to see someone that looked completely different than what I do in real life.

"Your blog is pink!" I wasn't quite sure what that meant but later found out that it gave the impression that I was a 22 year old, Betty Boop lookalike. The fact that I didn't quite look like that made me, as they put it "more serious looking".

I couldn't help but be amazed on how the colors of our blogs were actually giving away an impression of who we may or in this case may not be.

The question of the day was...so which one was I really like...was I deep down a 22 year old, Betty Boop lookalike...(pink background)...or was I a black background that presented my darker, deeper side...If I had a green background..would that have made the impression that I was older? Does loving pink mean that I have to be 22? Can't a 30 something chick like pink?

Come to think of it, does our icon give the impression that we really are those people?

True everybody loves certain blogs...who doesn't like A3sab? Is it the fact that she's a "frustrated Kuwaiti woman/Mother" and we love her stories or is it the beautiful icon that we see?

If Jazz Central feels like an older person, is it 'coz the colors of his blogs give that impression or is it the saxophone that gives it away?

Who doesn't love reading Temetwir's controversial blogs...his icon created a whole debate...and the black background definitely gave the impression that you were entering "at your own risk". If he didn't tell you his age...wouldn't you think he's definitely over 40?

In my case, I personally don't mind being thought of as a 22 year old, Betty Boop.

Afterall, everybody had a crush on her when she was around! Now, having said that..is that something only a 22 year old is aloud to say?

Oh well, who cares...I like being pink and I'm sticking to my grounds..Pink Rules!
