Music That I'm Lovin' Right Now!
January 29 Nokia N95 VS K850Here are some great live pics comparing Nokia's 5 mega pixel flagship against Sony Ericsson's 5 mega pixel flagship. Yes...I am talking about the N95 8GB and the K850. The set start's off comparing the boxes (the N95 box makes an appearance), then some solo pics and then the comparison pics. Both phones look great (maybe the K850 looks a tad better). The N95 8GB definitely looks bigger and bulkier...but damn...it has such a huge screen... but still I don't like Nokia's mobiles its freeze a lot.January 01 Happy new year 2008
Dear All, This time of the year, every year for the last few years, a sense of restlessness dominates in me to reach out to my friends, acquaintances and relatives alike to pass on the seasons best greetings. I do remember writing a similar note in the past, around this time last year and I know a few out there who received it, read it and replied to it. Clearly, I am running myself into the risk of repetition. But then if pattern of events in life - both joyous and grievous - can repeat itself year after year, in spite of all our celebrations at the moment when the New Year would meet the old one, why would I ever hesitate to show up and speak out the same old thoughts. While we pull ourselves together to flip through a brand new calendar, hoping happiness, peace and prosperity all the way along, this may well be an appropriate occasion to sit back, contemplate on the path trodden during the past dozen months or so, and may be take suitable measures to do the productive things better, put a full stop to all activities that are useful to none, and finally pray and hope for the possession of a stable mind, capable of absorbing all those episodes in life that are generally beyond the control of human beings like you and me. Personally, I wish to take advantage of this moment of celebrations to stop by each one of my friends , to let them know how much thankful I am for all their valuable contributions to my triumphs and in all the milestones that I touched. Thank you! As you read this note, probably there is an extravagant New Year party waiting for you. I wish the enthusiasm, the energy with which we step into one more New Year in our life and this celebration mood that we're in this moment last throughout the year and make us capable to treat every single day as a New Year, full of positive resolutions. Happy New Year 2008! December 30 I demand your attentionWho hasn’t had economical issues or hasn’t dreamed what every man or woman dreams about: a good amount of extra green paper to afford some humble luxury, such as a cruise in the Maldives or possessing a harem of Swedish girls dressed as norueguean girls? Sailing the Net, I found something that might be, with some luck and hard work, the business of our lives: the art of suiting. You don’t need much: just a lot of free time (as we all have -me, who writes now, you who read it) and having the guts to stand before the world as a stupid opportunist. I gathered up on the Internet a brief and complicated selection of samples because it was just impossible to name all the multitude of examples. I hope this might become orientation for those who are willing to follow these anonymous heroes. In 1992, Stella Liebeck (today the top reference among these ideas) came out from a well known burger’s place, got into her car and drove a couple of miles with a hot coffee between her legs. Turning at some point the coffee spilled, burning the mentioned Mrs. Liebeck. For this thing, Stella won 2.9 million dollars, because in the glass there was no legend warning about the hot liquid. In 2006, the “Stella” awards appeared and were given to the most absurd suites on the world. (http://www.stellaawards.com) There are all kinds of them: there was a guy who suited Apple for “audition loosing” but not because he had lost his audition using his IPod, but because there was a chance of it happening in the future. There was also a guy from Romania who suited God (yes, The One up there) arguing that at baptism the Creator made a commitment of keeping him away from all problems, showing the baptism as a legal contract. The impressing thing here, is that he actually won the trial, but had some troubles getting the money. Because “G” (as we will call the suited to protect his identity) never shown up in court, he is now guilty of contempt. I also found the case of Amber Carson, form Phili, who won (yes, she won!) 113,500 USD after slipping in a restaurant on a soda she had thrown herself over the floor, after an argument with her boyfriend. Or the hard experience of the psiquiq Marina Bai, who denounced NASA for interrupting the universe’s equilibrium. Or, there’s also the guy who suited Michael Jordan for 832 million dollars for the trauma caused by his physical resemblance with the famous basketball player. I bare a little resemblance myself to Danny DeVito and I don’t cry! So, it’s about ceasing the moment, the right chance and the personal capability of being paria.

I mean c'mon he said that he love me and I do love him.. How come we're not lovers
I don't understand .. he said there are no chances to last this relationship forever, then why did we start it?
when i asked him to end it he said that he can't its not easy for him
I'm not gonna answer his calls again.. I'm not gonna talk to him again!! DAMN IT
I've never been in this before!!!! What does more than friends but not lovers mean! How come it's not easy for him to leave me while he telling me that there are no chances to last forever and when i get married he'll leave!
There's nothing for sure in this life, but we fight for for it .. He just said ONE DAY WE'LL NOT GONNA BE TOGETHER
BULLSHIT!!

October 28 Thin red line![]() The opposite of Love is not Hate. The opposite of Love is Indifference. When you hate someone it means you carry strong feelings toward them. This is why they say there is a thin line between Love and Hate. If I hate you it means I love you so much that you have angered me to a level that I started Hating you. Hate is a big word, like salt and fat, use sparingly. Watch Cartoons for Hope Children have hope from cartoons.I decided to watch Beauty and the Beast in bed today while having my favorite cereal. I usually, on a day off would watch something like Fight Club, or Snatch. But today i felt like watching something i havent watched in a while. We grow up watching Aladdin, Pocahontas, Alice in Wonderland, a time where we had hope in life. Now diving into adult hood.. we watch news, with terrorism being in every other sentence. And women in their attempt to flee from their reality read about the latest celebrity gossip, while men turn to politics or gadgets. The result: Men have turned into their gadgets, heartless. And Woman have turned into anorexics or fashion addicts who won't dare wear last seasons shoes. In both examples i have chosen the extremes, but we are no longer the kids we were who each had a dream and the hope of finding what it is we want. We no longer believe in happy endings. we look at them and discuss them cynically. In conclusion: watch cartoons, you'll have more hope. Now even i believe in a happy ending. Belle got her prince, and so will i. KWD vs USDThe Central Bank of Kuwait Wednesday reported appreciation in the Kuwaiti Dinar against the US Dollar and brought it to 277.6 fils.
This is a hike from the previous 278.2 fils. CBK's policy for the Kuwaiti Dinar (KD) exchange rate aims at enhancing the relative stability of the KD against other currencies especially the US Dollar, and shields the domestic economy against the effects of imported inflation. Between January 5, 2003 and May 19, 2007, the KD was pegged to the US Dollar. Starting from May 20, 2007, the KD exchange rate against the USD is pegged to an undisclosed weighted basket of international currencies of Kuwait's major trade and financial partner countries. October 17 No reservation![]() From Academy Award-nominated director Scott Hicks and Academy Award-nominated producer Kerry Heysen comes the romantic drama "No Reservations."
Master chef Kate Armstrong (Academy Award winner Catherine Zeta-Jones) lives her life like she runs her kitchen at a trendy Manhattan eatery with a no-nonsense intensity that both captivates and intimidates everyone around her. Kate's perfectionist nature is put to the test when she "inherits" her nine-year-old niece Zoe (Abigail Breslin), while contending with a brash new sous-chef who joins her staff. High-spirited and freewheeling, Nick Palmer (Aaron Eckhart) couldn't be more different from Kate, yet the chemistry between them is undeniable. Rivalry becomes romance, but Kate will have to learn to express herself beyond the realm of her kitchen if she wants to connect with Zoe and find true happiness with Nick. Catherine zeta-jones looks amazing in the movie ..
In my opinion this movie is the best of Catherine zeta-jones .. KEEP ON GOING CATHERINE September 19 An F
Once upon a time , I took a course in college and we had an assessment . An instructor was there to observe us , and he had threaten us to no cheat or he will pull our papers and give us an F. Ofcourse , I cheated ! and he saw me and made me switch my place . Another Maleeq guy cheated and he cought him but took his paper and the other guy with him and kicked them out of MMR , and told them he would give them an F. and that Maleeq guy was screaming ” HOW COME YOU LET HER GO ?! SHE CHEATED !! “ Anyways , I saw this guy the day later and told him ” listen , what you did was not cool , and BE MAN, o stop acting as a girl ” , he got angry and we almost fought. and I heard that after I talked to him he was still mentioning my name to them . After a year , me and him were in the same class again . and our Professor was bad , so this maleeq guy decided to collect signatures to present it to the dean to change the professor. my friend and I didn’t sign on his petition , instead we wrote a letter to the professor saying ” (his name) is collecting signatures to complain about u , we love you and we think you are a great professor ” and our letter was not signed by our names. we countinued till the end of the semester , the maleeq guy was better than me and my friend in his midterms and everything . but the Professor hated him regardless of our letter . at the end of the course , me and my friend got good grades , and the maleeq guy got an F sometimes I feel bad about what happened , but sometimes I say ” Yestahal “ Till this day my friend and I laugh 3ala that story Revenge is SweetBreast Feeding At WorkI Wonder how would Dr. Ezzat feel , about men who works with his sister and wife ? would it be Halal ?

Kuwait airport Check this out; am right now at Kuwait airport drinking coffee at starbucks and checking what is happening in the space. When all of a sudden I found out there is like dozen of shared iTunes library running in the wireless lan. I cannot see anybody with a Mac laptop around! which is scary!!! Iphone I finally got my hands (literally) on an iPhone to see what all the fuss was about: Some of the things I liked about the iPhone are: The screen is very clear; the contrast alone beats out any other electronic device I have ever seen. The menu system is easy to use and intuitive; you could easily learn to use it in a couple of minutes. The phone is the same size as my e61i, which is quite good for the screen size. The phones processor was fairly fast, you could easily switch between applications. The browser is easy to use and the dual-touch ability is extremely simple and effective, I was also a big fan of the tilting screen. However, I probably would not get one at the moment for the following reasons: It doesn’t work in Kuwait, the one I used was ‘hacked’ and the phone options were disabled. We even tried putting a Wataniya and Vodafone (Zain) sim card inside… no dice. The keypad is extremely annoying to use; apparently it gets easier over time, however the lack of tactile response (basically knowing that you pushed the button) is a huge shortfall. With the touchpad you must watch the screen while you type to confirm that you typed the correct letters, or even typed them at all. Also, the lack of a PC-sync application and the ability to create third party apps is a big enough reason for me not to personally get the phone; or suggest it to a IT-minded person. I am aware that Programmers are currently developing software; but it will take time to fully mature into a solid application. The Symbian repository currently has thousands of third-party apps which is going to take the iPhone a long time to catch up. Not to mention the obvious shortcoming: fixed battery, no 3G and it’s made of glass. Finally, the real features of the iPhone are useless outside of America; we do not have a central database of local business/restaurants, Google street-maps, cinema/airline listings, etc… So most of the navigational and converged features would be limited to the ones you have manually entered. As for the iPod features, I do not watch videos, listen to music or look at pictures on my phone, those features would probably go unused.
Overall… The iPhone a great device in terms of the interface and materials used, but as with the iPod, it just needs to go through a couple of generations before they get it perfected. Sony Ericsson S500i, Truly amazingYour mobile phone is an extension of you... And Sony Ericsson know this very well. Thus, it has come up with an extraordinary handset Sony Ericsson S500i – designed exclusively to enhance the emotional bond between the handset and the user. And how does it do so? It comes wrapped in a unique concept to provide a refreshing experiences between day and night and the different seasons. In other words, the Sony Ericsson S500i enables you to get harmonize with your environment.
Out of the box, the Sony Ericsson S500i comes with three themes available to the customers: clarity, night & day, and everchanging. And it is this 'everchanging' theme that makes Sony Ericsson S500i a hit in the market. True to its name, the handset comes with a myriad of animated wallpapers and illuminated color menus that changes periodically. In the day, the LCD shows a floral wallpaper lit by yellow ray with coloured butterflies appearing randomly; while at night, the scene is illuminated by a distant blue light with fireflies flying randomly in the foreground. And that's not all, the wallpapers also change with seasons and time. This sure adds a lot of excitement and makes the handset appear quite personal. According to the manufacturers, the themes are specific to Sony Ericsson S500i. Like the rest of the Sony Ericsson phones, even the Sony Ericsson S500i comes without Call/End keys. So, for first time users, its something to get used to of. The keypad appears to be small, but then it sure is comfortable enough to type. Since the handset does not fall under the category of Cyber shot, or Walkman series, the multimedia prowess of the Walkman phone is rather spartan. The music player comes with standard features and supports audio format such as MP3, AAC, AAC+, E-AAC+, WAV, WMA and m4a. The Sony Ericsson S500i features a basic camera. It has 2 MP and resolution is 1,600 x 1,200 pixels. The handset comes with quadband GSM radio with support for Bluetooth stereo. There is an internal memory of 12MB available, and users are also supplemented with Memory Stick Micro card slot. There's also an Access NetFront Web Browser with RSS feeds, onboard apps, voice recorder and Bluetooth remote control facilities. The handset is rated for up to 9 hours of talktime and 15.4 days on standby ![]() September 17 The end of the world is nigh...Paris Hilton wants childrenIn the most horrifying news ever, Paris Hilton has revealed (if by revealed you mean told anyone who would listen) that she's ready to start a family.
Paris seems to be under the impression that having a child is about as complicated a decision as buying a coffee table. Can you imagine how messed up her kids would be? They'd probably be addicted to diet pills by two, cigarettes by five, and dating greasy oil heirs by seven. I'm hoping any reputable adoption agency would take one look at her and have her arrested for even trying to adopt. I know houseplants that would make a better parent. I'm sorry, but a baby is not a maltipoo you can carry around for a season and then throw away when you tire of it and decide teacup chihuahuas are "more your thing." Babies are also not to be used as a publicity ploy to convince a weary public that you're reformed your party-girl ways. Give it up Paris. No one wants to see you reform anyway. You're much more fun as a public joke. August 22 One of my amazing TRIPS ((CALIFORNIA))Oh my...Chloe''MY FRIEND'' and I are at JFK airport in New York and of course it's filled with people bound for all corners of the globe. It's very hot and very hectic. The lines to get through security go on forever. I didn't really enjoy having to take off my shoes for the metal detector but whatever. We are sitting comfortably now at the gate and waiting to board. We decided to pack light and only bring one carry-on each so we wouldn't have to deal with the baggage claim. Chloe is going to buy an iced coffee for us to share and I am sitting here admiring my new bag. Wait a minute, you have got to be kidding me...that looks like my ex-boyfriend from High School sitting over there! No! Please don't let this be happening! I'm trying to hide my face. I have to look again. NO! It is him! I can't believe it. Vince Logan! What is Vince Logan doing at JFK airport? Oh shoot, he just looked over here. He's staring at me! I stayed hidden and I don't think he noticed me. Close call! Anyway, the trip took forever but my parents were waiting for us at the gate and we made it out to the car without any drama. It felt so good to drive the familiar roads home. Chloe kept excitedly pointing out every palm tree that we passed. Now we're cozy on the couches in the living room and getting ready for bed. We slept until noon and it was delicious. We have decided to allow ourselves that luxury every day. The tempo of life here in California is so different from NYC. Everything just seems to move at a slower pace. I don't think I could ever live here again now that I have a taste for life in the fast lane but it's good to know I can always come home and relax with my family. What a crazy night! Chloe and I are in Silver Lake at an extremely trendy bar. These two actor dudes came over to our table at the restaurant and asked if we wanted to come to this private party. We are drinking way, way too much. Oh my God...Is that...it is! Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller just walked into the bar! Amazing! Chloe went right up to Owen Wilson and confessed her love to him! He pulled out a dollar bill, signed it, kissed it and said, " Don't spend it all in one place, babe." Hilarious! This is truly a Hollywood night that we will never forget (although I can't remember the actor dudes names).AND THAT'S IT June 26 Girl .. this is the rules!“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'” |
