When we were young teenagers i heard about the Ouija Board and all the controversy surrounding it. To my surprise i heard about people from my age playing with it, some swear it’s a true thing and others disregard it as a mere game… and what surprised me even more is the fact that there [...]

Getting rude and disrespectful comments goes hand in hand with blogging. if anything it means that you are going in the right direction for you have triggered someone to attack you. What i don’t understand though is why the volume of rude comments significally increases whenever i start posting about London?! Why Q8y people are [...]

OK explain this to me because i cannot seem to be finding an explanation… My husband has a private profile on Facebook. All of his friends on Facebook are his MALE friends and family. Most of his of pictures and info are private. To the ones he shows his info he has MARRIED TO available on his [...]

I parked my car in a very busy street in Jabriya… flats, taylors, restaurants, salons, stores, and gyms dotting the area and people parked in that street all the time to get to their destination on foot. As i got out of my car i saw a the crushed and apparently used needle above lying on [...]

A crowded parking lot is a familiar scene taken for granted in Q8. Especially during the weekend. Don’t you just hate it when you go around and around and you find a parking spot partially blocked by a huge dumpster? Especially given the HUGE amount of pavement residing right next to it where the dumpster [...]

  Ever woke up and felt you had gotten up at the wrong side of bed? I went to bed at 11 P.M. and woke up very late for work. Work starts at 7 i woke up 7:50 -yeah i know-… i had the worst nightmare and apparently i didn’t wake up because i was enjoying [...]

I woke up this morning intending to go to work. and i found out that my left front tire was flat. I had no one to help me change the tire since it had to be changed in the garage. We had no other available car to take me to work. I had to miss [...]

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THE BLOODY CUBE!?! TELL ME HOW NOW! URGH E7em ok… let me backtrack a little… When i saw the movie “Pursuit of Happiness” i wanted to test my genius power of mind and went out and bought my self a Rubiks Cube.  A homeless uneducated guy could do it out [...]

OK. This is rant worthy. Lets imagine how it’s going to turn out now shall we? So it’s the middle of a movie in 360. People are lost in the plot. Suddenly the screen goes dark and the lights go on and it’s time for the viewers to go pray?! Seriously? Now how many viewers [...]

I slave over the stove trying to make the perfect vermicille rice, i was craving a meal of vermicille rice and KDD low fat yoghurt… 2 hours later my rice is done, steaming and fluffy… Butoote asks if it’s ready and i say yes… I then find the dish above… apparently my dear husband believes [...]

It was Thursday. Jabriya. The ugliest, busiest roundabout in Jabriya. and it was rush hour time when people returned home from work. A long line was forming. Cars were honking thier horns. In the street leading to the roundabout near Shanakel/Sable/Co-Op the left lane was not moving AT ALL. It is a two lane street. [...]

I have boycotted the chocolate aisle since 2005… not strictly of course but whenever i pass by -once in a blue moon- i find such strange stuff i begin to wonder how long has it been since i have last been here?! for example…  this is a coconuty bar by al saidawy that i have [...]

I saw this very strange sign… another sign where the English is comprehendible while the Arabic is … well weird! Do you think there are some letters missing to make the word smch or does it actually mean something?! I am completely lost in Translation! Filed under: Freaks, Lost in Translation, Strange, Things that do not [...]

Underneath the Shuwaikh Port Bridge, there is some construction work going on AND this very stupid sign… In English Go Slow ok comprehendible… in Arabic Serr Khafif means NOTHING! Y3ni in an Arabian country having a road sign that makes sense in English but not in Arabic is very fashla! Why is it so hard [...]

Suddenly overnight, wherever i go, i see the freaky orange buttefly looking at me, flying and fluttering it’s nasty wings at me, challenging me…
Yesterday as i got out of work, the weather was nice, i almost but ran to my car because of those butterflies flying around all around! I swear they were conspiring against [...]

During the festive vacation  i insisted on exploring some new far away places in Q8… one of which was to explore Jahraa near the Red Palace area -never been there before- …. when we reached the Red Palace it was closed off to the public so Butootee suggested we visit TSC Aljahraa…
The place i suppose [...]

When you wanted to announce that you kill animals in a Halal way for ppl to eat… didn’t you find a better place to hang it than on this road sign? Seriously? Why? Are you advertising a cure for cancer?!
I took this while waiting for my turn at the Surra Roundabout… those signs are there [...]

I go out the door this morning only to find my moms car sprayed with two lines of foam from head to toe -or bumper to bumper- with the bloody dreaded foam! She was in the Avenues last night which means spraying has already started! We are still in the first 10 days of February! [...]

Why?! Why would you so ARROGANTLY take up two parking spaces by deliberately parking like that?! Why? I would understand if you were driving a Ferarri or a Rolls and do not want it scratched… though if ur so afraid on them you should not buy them in the first place… but your waneet?! 
We scream and nag and cry all day [...]

I was told by several commenters on my last post that My beloved Cirtus Zest Diet Coke has been spotted in TSC Salwa…
 
My horrific encounter with the hooligans began this afternoon… all because i had nothing better to do but go and check the availability of the diet coke…
 
Just for the record, it is not available, it has [...]

Last week Bu Tootee was invited to a wedding…
 
The groom is one of his college friends. He is a sweet guy who called Bu tootee several time personally to invite him. The thing is about his wedding, is that it is a pure Bedouin Wedding.
 
& the thing about bedouin weddings is they are usually held far away [...]
