Sermons.,.,.,

At the friday sermon yestertday, the preacher started on an intresting topic.,.,.apathy

apathy is when someone doesnt care whether his fellow humans life is in danger: when he shows no intrest of helping a child in need, or when he drives by a serious car accident without looking back,.,..,and its prevalent here. I dont know why this is the case since this is more or less a collectivist country, a country with a strong sense of community, so the roots of it must be somewhere darker,.,., I think that there should be some kind of a drive within the local community to spread awareness about the dangers of apathy, since it is not just a social thing, but rather a religious one, and Islam is quite clear on this matter,.,.

yay!!!

akheeran, wslna nhayat ilesboo3... As I am writing this (in uni) my friend is getting ready to go to the cinema with me.,..and for the first time in a long time we contemplated going to that new kuwaiti film showing at the theatre,.,.,.although we will probably go to the science-fiction film zathura, The fact that there is actually a khaleeji film at the cinema to compete for our money makes me proud... Its about a little creativity got out of the gulf!

On that point, I bring to attention Freij, the first UAE 3d cartoon ever, courtesy of an intresting start-up company called Lammtara.,.,.,.I believe their pilot episode is going to be in the coming ramadan, and since it is truly original (therefore not liable to be shut down like g63t 13 owing to the likeness shared with the Southpark series) please watch it and patronize the local arts!

EDIT: Apparently, the khaleeji film is actually produced in the UAE, and its based on "the count of monte cristo" (Im serious),.,..,. check out www.lammtown.com for more on freij

jw abraD!!!

I dont know why, but i feel that im colder than I have ever been all year! weather is going haywire~~~! On a dark note: I was reading the news today and saw that the Kuwaiti nation is going through a tough time trying to sort out their new leadership,.,.,. this in itself is dangerous on many levels and I do hope they can speed things up before they cause irreparable damage.

Now: what is the deal with people dressing up like gangsters from brooklyn? just yesterday me and my friends saw ppl like that in uni w -=ng3na min il 9'7k=- (we laughed alot) ,.,. I mean is the kandoura so bad that we have to copy other societies? then we have some of the girls at uni who think its cool to dye their hair briiiiiiiiiiiiiiight colors and wear foundation by the tonne. dont get me wrong, i think its good to change from time to time, because thats part of life, right? I think that looking beutiful is one thing, but looking like paris hilton is another.,.,.What scared me the most is that Ive actually seen a naturally blonde girl dye her hair a brighter shade of blonde,..,.spooooooky

3nglish or 3rabic?

hmmm, dont know whether I would be better off continuing the blog in english or in arabic (but then again my pc doesnt write arabic!)

jw baaaaared (cold weather)

The cold gripped me today, a cold that hasnt embraced me for some time now....it was the cold of acceptance,.,..,.My friend was not who I thought he was. I have an average take on life (which of course includes friendship): "ana insan 3ala gad 7ali, la abale3' wala agaser fee shai",,,,but now I feel like im not giving him my full friendship. The winds of change are a normal part of being a human and a good friend endures the winds in the hopes that either they cease or he flows with them.,.,., my next step is a dangerous one. TBC

lilasaf

This being my last weekend before university, I decided to head to a different spot rather than my usual umm spiem hideaway... mimzar.

Everything u heard about it being the #1 spot for lowth (sad individuals) is true; I was there at 11:00 and already people were throwing their numbers at each other... 7aram 3liekum guys, I know that most guys and girls go crazy when they dont talk to each other, bas mb chee 3ad. and I thought chillis jmeirah was bad!

there must be some line you should not cross.,.,.,. wla shoo raykom? hal ana '3al6an fee kalami? ( am I wrong?)
