Buzberry

I’ve been trying to find a fix for my qetra. Something or somewhere to place the qetra without getting wrinkled or dirty. Usually, someone would use a chair or even a couch, others would improvise a bit, but no one reached perfection as of last week.

Bader, a friend/engineer found this brilliant piece which sells for KD15 and gladly told me about it. What he did additionally, being an engineer, is adding cushioningto the upper part. Now only his qetra stays firm in its place ready every morning to cover his brilliant brain.  

You can find this piece at Al Adailiya CO-OP (without the cushioning of course).

The 2014 Honda Odyssey was unveiled last week, and the Japanese automaker has made the headlines for something pretty unusual, innovative, and simple. Your minivan is now equipped with a vacuum built in the  rear cargo area to take care – instantly – of anything! In fact, the automaker even claims that the vacuum nozzle “extends to reach all corners of the vehicle.”

Next step, I like to see these things in SUVs and would live to have one in my car.

Ever since my dad threw away my black-leather pair of NIKE shoes, I’ve been trying to find a replacement for them. Spending 8 hours at the office running around from floor to floor, you would want comfy shoes for starters. The market is full of shoes that fit the comfy category. But according to my experience, the best fix is to have black (or brown) leather shoes made by NIKE, Adidas, or any other running shoes manufacturer. The last issue will be sticking to the “formal” criteria, and that is why I have been trying for almost 3 years to find the perfect match. Until now, I fail to find them.

Share with us your findings.

I remember 6 or 7 years ago when FAH used to tell us about how crazy Apple’s stock price was going. Back then I think it was trading around $90 and FAH was enthusastic about it. If only he knew that figure would mutliply by 7 easily, he would’ve sold Buzberry and dropped out of college too back then.

Since 2007, we’ve seen six iPhones, a handful of iPads, and other gadgets we never dreamt of back in high school. Earlier this month, the Apple’s stock price acted weridly I guess. Last September stock lists for $700 and ever since it has been plunging until it broke the $400 barrier driven by a reported lower costumer demand on Apple products.

Let us still have faith in Apple and believe that prices will bounce back. This time around, what device would really turn heads before things around?

Let your imagination take control.

It has been a couple of years now since I last had the famous Zousheh, or in simple English: wild thyme with an onion + tomato mix bedded on a multi-cereal dough. Almost 3 years ago, Zaatar w Zeit  lost its wild thyme supplier in Lebanon and struggled to bring it back. Now Zousheh is back! And since it’s back I would very much advise you to grab one before something happens to the new supplier.

For the love of Zaatar!

Ever wondered what those nails signify? Well maybe you haven’t noticed the latest collection from Cartier, but when I did I thought those nails meant you nailed it, or tightened your grip on something or someone. Whatever; I was wrong.

Juste Un Clou (or Just A Nail), were created in the 70s, when the rugged design came to symbolize the “rebellious spirit and raw energy in New York City” at the time. This collection of rings and bracelets can cost you anything from $2,000 to $35,000 depending on how you like your meat: rose gold, yellow gold, diamonds?

I love the fact that you can sell a gold-plated nail for a couple of thousands. If you can do it why not!

It is definitely the driver or the passenger who’s littering, never was it the car. You see them all the time, and I’m sure, if you are a human being then it disgusts you every single time.

I was just thinking this morning what that mid-aged elegant Mercedes owner was thinking as he released tissue paper out of the window. Seriously what runs inside their minds as they do it? Maybe only air runs inside anyway. We need a fining system in place now!

I have recently seen a video clip on YouTube where the host of a political TV Show asks his guest  which country in the Arab world would he prefer to live in if he had the choice.

I had similar thoughts. Being thousands of miles away from home, people (the literate around here only) ask what it is like living in Kuwait, others compliment how lovely Kuwait is on TV or the Internet. One even said that if the chance comes he would travel thousands of miles to see Kuwait and ¨the lovely beaches.¨

The politician on that TV show chose to live in Kuwait, and we all know the reasons. Why don¨t we choose to live in Kuwait too? I choose Kuwait.

I am fan of Red Velvet cakes.. and therefore I tried Coffee Bean’s Red Velvet Ice blended drink hoping that it was good! Unfortunately, it wasn’t up to my expectations! It had a weird taste, it tasted like a blended dough.

So I just learned that the Parliament had just agreed to cut the interest on ALL personal loans and whoever doesn’t have a loan will get KD1000. Apart from it not making any sense.. It’s simply not fair!
