| As things stand right now I still haven't made a decision about joining my family or going to Lebanon. Our party for Lebanon includes our friend who's bf is a complete dick. As far as G + Shei5a know he doesn't cheat on his gf. All they've found out is that he's a flirt with two other friends but it's nothing he should be tarred and feathered about =/ I haven't seen him again. There's another pool party this Tuesday and I'm dreading it because they're going to be there =(
My uncle has renewed his wish for me to join him in his company. Get this, he wants me to intern during the summer so that I get the hang of things while business is slow and wants me to start full-time in September. 3abeer thinks I should do it for the experience. I don't see where I would have the time pool parties + travels won't let me be there for long but she wants me to try anyway. I think she's trying to make up for our last job disagreement. I refused to go to the interview because of her meddling + she wants me to find some stability. However she doesn't seem to comprehend that I have no desire in tiles.

| | 3abeer's just asked me whether I want to join the family vacation this year. I still haven't made up my mind. Here are the options. If I choose to stay home I'll have 2 weeks to myself where I'll be either sleeping over at G's or my aunt's house. 5 of my girlfriends want a getaway trip to Lebnan in which we can have fun without parents cramping our style. Last year we went to Greece and a crazysexycool time but this year we chose Lebnan because loads of people we know will be there. But if I choose to go with my parents it will mean visiting Canada and triapsing all over the countryside. I'd like to spend more time with my family. I feel guilty that I barely see them and I live in the same house! Maybe I'm due a trip for quality time with the familia. Anyone got any opinions? | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| Bad, bad, Yasmina. I keep making pledges to be more prompt with updates and each time I manage to fail. Have I told you all how much I love summer? Frankly, there's so much to do that I can't be bothered to get online. But I have missed you and I'm sorry I've missed such wonderful/tragic events happening to you =( Again, I'm sorry for your loss Dana.
The Hollywood money machine has swept me up in its frenzy to generate the evil $. I'm not one for movies but my friends keep dragging me. Thankfully no run-ins with unmentionables ::yay!:: There have been the good, the bad, and the ugly in movies. Spider-man 2, good. Very VERY good. Van Helsing, bad. Gothika, UGLY. My friends enjoyed that movie but it didn't appeal to me. Anyone out there begging to differ?
Lots of goings to various chalets. Heavenly =D Many of my friends have been sponsoring pool parties. The best have been at the homes of those whose parents were off on vacation =P A lot happend. A lot I must never write down in case it comes to bite me later =P Maybe in friends-only posts. Suffice it to say that Summer '04 is wild. Not Girls Gone Wild wild but close enough. ::giggles:: It's about time they start producing Guys Gone Wild! Bring it on! Lots of girly drama which thankfully I'm not a part of. '03 kicked me in the rear end. I've learned to stay out of friend-feuds. Speaking of friends, remember the friend that wouldn't contact me after I had tried to call her numerous times? She was really sick, hospital sick =( Needless to say I feel guilty that I had negative thoughts and believed her to be ignoring me. I'm glad now that I didn't give up on calling her (yes I continued until her sister finally broke down and told me).
I know some of you want long posts but frankly I have no idea what to write on. Comment on what you want to hear about and I'll try to compose an ultra-long post.
Wishing you well wherever you are,

| Hasn't the weather been phenomenal? As any self-respecting McDonald's junky would say "I'm LOVING it!" I'm currently at the chalet and enjoying every second I spend soaking in the sunshine. I've almost gotten as brown as a walnut. Not quite but by the end of the summer I will. Tip for all of you sun-lovahs, lemon in hair does lighten it up & the Lancome bronzer is heaven.
Proud to have Kuwait represented by a female in the Olympics. Gooooo Dana!! =D Read more here.
Meant to write more but a waterfight just broke out.

| It's uncanny. Every two weeks I buy 3 pens. Every week they go missing and I have to use alternate pens I find mislaid by the computer or rummage through an old pencil case to find some sort of ink to use.
I can't explain this phenomenon. I can't seem to solve it. As far as I'm aware no one takes my pens. No one in the house needs to. They all have their own pens. The pens I buy are unique and so I can tell if someone's nicked them but no one does. Where do they go? My room's the bermuda triangle. I have a feeling that if I turned everything upside down there might be the chance that dozens of pens would be found. All attempts at finding the missing are failing at the moment.
Tomorrow is my pen purchasing day. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| Do you search your friends list for my name and hope I've written?
I sometimes forget that i have an online journal in the bussle of daily life. To be frank, although I am enjoying LiveJournal and am thankful that G introduced me to it and the wonderful people who are part of it I much prefer my paper journal if only for the reason that it's conviniently with me whenever I feel the urge to write. I can't forget LJ compltely because whenever I check my mail I find people have responded to entries I've written and I'm incredibly thankful for that. I'd like to thank everyone in particular for sharing their reasons for locking their journals and for imparting advice concerning my phone&friend situation. An update on that is that the friend-in-question hasn't called yet but I've found out that a close relative of hers had been extremely ill around the time I was trying to contact her. That may explain matters, on the other hand it may not. Time will tell =)
Spring fever seems to be grabbing hold of everyone. In the past couple of weeks a lot of friends and acquaintances have gotten engaged or married. I love hearing the tales of how a couple got together especially if it's very romantic. Every 4 years a summer comes along where weddings litter every weekend. I think this summer is going to be one of them and I can't wait =D People have expressed desire to see me in the same marital state but I'm having too much fun as a single to risk misery as a coupled.
Send a poem my way =)

| The weather is killing my sinuses. So is this flu that's going around. When will this virus just stop? I keep relapsing because I catch it from different people.
I saw Cold Mountain over the weekend and I loved it! Does anyone else think Rene Zellwegger is absolutely fabolous? LOVE HER! She always gives amazing performances from Jerry Maguire to Chicago to Cold Mountain and my absolute favorite Bridget Jones =D Does anyone know when the 2nd one comes out?
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) sangrona thank you in your help in locating interesting communities. Let me know if anything comes up =x
Creatively I'm trying to sketch out designs for a mural on my bedroom walls. STill attempting to negotiate the terms with my dad. He's not a fan of my work but I don't see why that should be a problem since I AM and I'm the one who's going to be seeing the art day in & day out! =P | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | Current Music: | 3bdelkareem | | Subject: | Question to All | | Time: | 05:03 pm | | Current Mood: | annoyed |
|
| What do you do when someone asks you to call them and each time you call they don't pick up or you leave a message and they never return your call?
Would you:
a) Call at least once more to make sure they did get your message(s)
b) Stop calling because the ball's in their court now
c) Tell a friend to let them know you called
d) Not have called at all since they had your number and have fingers to punch in numbers
I don't really know what I should have done. It's in my nature to fulfill a request someone's asked me to carry out and I feel the job's not done until I have. At the same time it's a little frustrating because I feel like I'm being walked on. Is it natural to feel this way or am I overreacting?
Of course reasons of why that person never returned the call may have something to do with it. What if they're busy? Never got the messages? Got the messages and forgot? Should I just step back and wait for their call? I got the impression that a call from me would be welcome but now I'm getting mixed signals.
What do you think? Got any insights you wish to shed on the matter? Any input would be a help.
In other news, the pictures of those Iraqi prisoners and what those American soldiers did to them are horrifying! This is what you do when you try to rebuild a nation??? I wanted to write a long entry on it the other day but things got busy.
I'm furious at the militants in this country that blocked concerts in Kuwait. You lead miserable lives! Must you drag others into the misery and paranoia about everything in this world you seem to love sharing?
Sangrona & Xtraspicey do you know how I can put your name so that you can see the little LJ sing next to it? Things have been busy and I doubt any of you wish to hear the tedious details. Will try to keep updating regularly.
Another question, does anyone know of any good political communities I can join? Or any communities for that matter. Gratitude, in advance =D

| Haha I went to Poetry.com and the first poem I read is
Queen Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
[The doubt of future foes exiles my present joy]
The doubt of future foes exiles my present joy,
And wit me warns to shun such snares as threaten mine annoy;
For falsehood now doth flow, and subjects' faith doth ebb,
Which should not be if reason ruled or wisdom weaved the web.
But clouds of joys untried do cloak aspiring minds,
Which turn to rain of late repent by changed course of winds.
The top of hope supposed the root upreared shall be,
And fruitless all their grafted guile, as shortly ye shall see.
The dazzled eyes with pride, which great ambition blinds,
Shall be unsealed by worthy wights whose foresight falsehood finds.
The daughter of debate that discord aye doth sow
Shall reap no gain where former rule still peace hath taught to know.
No foreign banished wight shall anchor in this port;
Our realm brooks not seditious sects, let them elsewhere resort.
My rusty sword through rest shall first his edge employ
To poll their tops that seek such change or gape for future joy.

| Enchanted April
A sultry song of Swing vibrantly reeling,
My ears fixed on her voice and I smiled,
For she was the creator of the song she sang.
Sensations echo deeper than the ocean.
Yellows and greens blossom in this lushness.
Passion cries from her fiery blaze of words.
The iridescent majesty that is the sea
Was merely a place by which she sauntered.
That night the skies parted and I, steadfast,
Felt showered in blue rain as the spectacle ended.
This music, like moonlight, swept across my face.
Comforting me and rousing my soul.

| Is there a good bookshop in Kuwait? I want books about:
-Beadwork
-Embroidery
-Glass Design
-Mythology
-Ancient History
-Sewing
I want to go to one bookstore to all of them. If you're going to recommend Virgin, don't unless you're going to recommend a specific book. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| UN must play major role during power shift in Iraq
MEXICO CITY (KUNA): Speaker of Kuwait National Assembly Jassem Al-Khorafi Tuesday called for improving the role of the United Nations in the transitional period in Iraq. In a speech to the 110th Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) conference, Al-Khorafi said "It is important to strengthen the role of the United Nations throughout the transitional period in Iraq to help the Iraqis regain their rights, territorial integrity and natural resources," he said. Al-Khorafi added the UN role in Iraq should be part of an international responsibility to secure peace and stability in the world.

| Sometimes people here bewilder me. They're nice, thoughtful and kind. And when you're out with them you see them admiring people for their inner selves. Then they drop a comment that makes you scramble to figure out whether you had ever truly understood them.
::wimper::
I've been rereading my entries.
::awkward pause::
And I must say for someone who says they hate superficiality & materialism, I seem to embody both qualities
::panic attack::
It's all this shopping! When you're bored, shop. Shop, shop, shop, and shop. But to be fair, I didn't buy anything yesterday. To combat my metamorphosis into a typical kuwaiti zhaywi tomorrow will be an ANTI-MATERIALISM Day! I'm planning to work more on my rough sketchs for the artwork. My art supplies are running out so I'll have to restock before I attempt creating + plan on taking the camera out when the light's good and capture a few scenic shots. I want images of kuwait to enlarge and hang in the living room. I might incorporate the images into the painting. I still haven't decided what mediums I'll be using. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| | Why is my time updated incorrect? It's been wrong for the past entries as well. It says 6:28 PM when it's really 2:28 AM. How can I change it? | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
