Rock 'n Run.. W580i
29/04/07 19:02 Filed in: Phones
It is the16th Walkman® model produced by Sony Ericsson, the W580i is not only the typical mobile/walkman creation of SE, but also has a fitness trainer packed inside the gadget!
Besides all the technological updates of revolutionary stereo headsets, integrated 2-megapixel camera, and a fitness application that I will be talking about; the W580i has a picture blogging software, where you can easily take a photo, click on send ‘to blog’, add a title and text, and post it for your friends to view instantly!
What really amazed me was the fitness application, which in turn, does really act as a personal trainer; keeping your fitness progress, monitoring your steps, running, and performance. All that and more in a 14 mm thin slider-mobile “phone?”.
Frankly, there are more features in the phone that I really didn’t get, check it out your self on this youtube.com link and on Sony Ericsson’s website! Grazie!
Its the MAC of mobile phones!Link:

The Leader?
29/04/07 04:31 Filed in: Interesting Stuff
I received an email from a friend yesterday displaying pictures of some of the most unique weapons. The email wasn’t clear enough, where it said “The leader’s weapon stockroom” in Arabic, while the stockroom was found by the U.S Army, indicating that the owner is probably 'Saddam'.
The picture above displays platinum and gold plated machine-guns. Meanwhile the picture down displays a golden plated bazooka-like weapon.
The photos haven’t been yet released to the press, as the email states. I have always heard about the existence of such weapons, which I saw at last. Grazie!

Who Forgot His ENZO?
28/04/07 01:12 Filed in: Cars
Last April while leaving the airport we glimpsed a red Enzo Ferrari parked at the cargo offices in Beirut’s airport, and of course the only assumption was that its owner is some tycoon/Emir who is getting ready to spend summer in Lebanon.
Sadly, war struck and the Enzo remained at the same place during 33 days of war, and we used to see the Ferrari every time we go to the airport.
When dropping-off OZM to the airport last night, we took a photo of the Enzo (which wasn’t even covered). It has been nearly a year and the Enzo is under the mercy of God. I’m just wondering if the owner forgot about it or if he just got bored from its color!

The Cost of Beauty
27/04/07 23:10 Filed in: Fashion
What has beauty come to? Look at the kind of society we are leaving in, why is it getting worse, why do people judge others on the way they look? Are looks really that important? Didn’t those people think that looks could be deceiving? All these questions came up to mind after seeing the “Plastic Surgery Loan” of the First National Bank (FNB).
Yes! It is a plastic surgery loan! It is very normal if you see some people issuing loans in order to build themselves homes, or others who get their loans from banks in order to get their businesses running. But Banks like the ‘FNB’ issuing loans to encourage people to do a plastic surgery is complete nonsense to me. I’m not blaming the bank for giving such loans but I’m blaming the society we are in, which lead banks and financial institutions to start to think that way. Nowadays we see a lot of our beautiful girls growing up trying to acquire bodies or looks of some fashion models/celebrities and ending up bulimic or even anorexic.
To these girls I say is it really worth it? Is shaping up your body worth your life? Is that what some girls are aiming for? We are in the 21st century and I get so surprised when I see so many people in this world that only care on the way they look! In my own opinion a person must have some self-confidence and not walk onto this fake world that most of our women are falling into. A small advice: Its not the way you look that will make you a better person it’s who you are.
P.S I’m not generalizing that all girls are like that I’m just focusing on the some who are so into their looks! By the way, this also applies to men who are just interested in thier appearances. Enjoy!

PERFECTIONISTS!
27/04/07 04:34 Filed in: Gadgets
I can't start my day unless I have a shot or two of espresso, then I can function like a normal human being. But what would my day be when I make my coffee with a Tonino Lamborghini coffee machine? This is a beautiful limited edition coffee maker made by Lamborghini. Only 1000 pieces are to be produced, and it costs about $1750. If you love coffee, GET IT! It’s really worth it!
PS. Lamborghini apparently do even roast their own coffee beans, so why not feel special!

.The Perfect Solution
25/04/07 19:52 Filed in: Gadgets
During the last year I had to replace my iPod charger once and my phone charger three times! That’s all because the outlets in my appurtenant are placed in the wrong places, where I have to leave my iPod and phone dangling from their chargers.
However, I found the perfect solution, where you can attach this flat hammock-like object and leave any small item on it. It cost about $13 and comes in black, red, and pink. I’m definitely going to order one for myself.

Absolute Irony!
24/04/07 23:03 Filed in: Food
I left university today, trying to think of a place to have lunch at with my friend and colleague (AY). After we were done with stating alternatives, we decided to go to ‘Bu 3afeef’, which is besides ‘Maroush’, and have a bite in both places. During our standing-up meal, the delivery guy from ‘Barbar’ (a well-known restaurant in Lebanon) arrived at ‘Maroush’ and ordered a shawarma from there.
I was really shocked; it really assured me and provided proof to my previous argument with AY that Maroush’s shawarma is not only excellent but also one of the best around! What an irony, the delivery guy from one of the best shawarma places in Lebanon, stops by another place to eat a shawarma, and it’s not the cause of a geographical distance; Barbar was 2 minutes away. Grazie!

Watch out Audi RS4!
24/04/07 22:45 Filed in: Cars
It’s really funny, one thing pulls another. I started off wanting to write about the new M3 coupe and ended up finding a masterpiece by a Lebanese guy. In addition, now I found out that BMW are set to introduce a four-door M3 version in fall 2008, while the new version of the regular M3 (coupe) will be launched in this year’s 3rd quarter.
The new M3 is not only introduced with a new look, but also with a new heart, a full modified 4.0 liter V8 engine that generates 420 horsepower which allows the new M3 to take-off from 0-100 Km in less than 4.2 seconds.
On top of that, the convertible M3 version will be out in spring 2008. Therefore, in about one year’s time, BMW will be offering both the coupe and convertible versions of the new M3, which I believe both have a more luxurious look than a sporty look as in the previous version of the M3.
However, the four-door version is a directly aimed at archrivals Audi, and specifically the RS4, so watch out! Grazie!

Grande Inter, Campioni d'Italia!
22/04/07 23:35 Filed in: Sports
At last! I lived to see Inter Milan win the league cup, I lived to see Javier Zanetti score a goal, and add a prestigious title to his accomplishments. I was really desperate and eager to witness Inter being Italian champions (on the pitch) after decades of draught. I am out of words to describe my feelings, euphoria maybe, as SAK once explained to me!
The Nerazzurri (Inter) won this year’s title with a touch of class and before the season ended, although the bitter rivals, Juventus, aren’t playing in the top-flight league. Setting new records such as 17 back-to-back wins in the league and maintaining a streak of 39 matches unbeatable, was the limelight of the season and Inter have stood again as one of the greatest –‘inshalla.’
And ‘inshalla’ they continue on wining and I hope to see the UEFA Champions League in Inter’s trophy cabinet next year.
The words of joy, delight, and ecstasy underestimate my feelings; I was in tears this afternoon and couldn’t believe that the mission is accomplished. Grazie!

Messidona’s Ad

“Messidona” that’s what he does best in football. Leo Messi surprised the world with his sensational goal that reminded us of the masterpiece goal that Diego Armando Maradona scored during the 1986 World Cup against England. Actually I think it’s a ‘copy paste’ of Maradona’s fabulous goal. ADIDAS just launched their new Ad displaying Messi’s goal. Check it out. Enjoy!

Your Home Theater in a Box
20/04/07 22:25 Filed in: Gadgets
I was browsing the Internet, trying to locate a speaker my cousin once told me about which he saw in Malaysia last year. The speaker he told my about was a ½ meter log which provided surround audio. However, while I was browsing I found that Philips would be offering a one speaker surround system also.
The Ambisound HTS8100 SoundBar provides a full 5.1 sound system with amplifiers and a DVD player, all that in a 5-inch thick bar. Boasting 6 speakers besides the central glass panel of the Ambisound, which Philips say is the future of sound technology. The Ambisound could be mounted elegantly on the wall to match Flat TVs and offer an outstanding sound output. Therefore, plenty speakers and wiring around the room isn’t necessary anymore. You can get it this June for $799. Grazie!

Article 36
19/04/07 03:09 Filed in: Politics
There is a serious movement in Kuwait nowadays concerning some articles in the constitution (distoor). Following the constant blocking of some political forums on the internet and some blogs from either the government or internet providers, a group of bloggers with the help of some MPs are trying do defend there rights and freedom. The article in question is article 36 which says, “every citizen is free to express him/her self either by speech, writing, or otherwise within the rules and situations set by the law.” This statement is a part from the article that the movement is concerned about. They are saying that given this freedom they should not be blocked or harassed by anyone especially the government and for that matter the article should not be changed. The constitution also stated that in order to change anything it has to be for more freedom and wellbeing of the citizens. At the end it took His Highness the Amir to resolve the matter in a family meeting that our constitution is not going to change. So my question is who want to change anything in our constitution when we are not living (citizens or government) by its laws? If u have a say on this subject please let me know your view.

I left home today, after a really hectic day, and decided to take the Rouché Street (seaside) to avoid traffic. Frankly, it was tragic, the cars didn’t move. I suddenly noticed that I was next to “Uncle Deek” coffee place (next to Hard Rock), and since the traffic didn’t move I ordered a Nescafe. However, it turned out that their coffee was amazing! It was even better than the famous coffee boutique next to LAU. I haven’t tasted a better coffee in Lebanon yet. Grazie!

Diet Burger!

While skimming through MEA’s magazine on my way back to Lebanon, I found this out:
Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, PA. is known for its humongous burgers. The surprise was that no one has ever expected that they would make such a huge burger, actually it’s the biggest burger ever made. It weighs 123 pounds including the 5 pounds of cheese. You can go and order it for $379. I think it’s a must to try the burger. Enjoy!

The Ultimate TV Show
11/04/07 15:25 Filed in: Cars
Ever since I moved to my new apartment, I got addicted to TV more and more, I really don’t get the link. For the last two months, Top Gear became something essential in my life, waiting hours and days to spend an hour with Jeremy Clarkson (the host), who I believe is the funniest Brit on TV. In addition, I concluded that Top Gear isn’t just another car show, it evolved to be more of an educational TV show about regular consumer cars, crazy challenges with nature, and most importantly unveiling super-cars at their utmost performance.
During every show, the hosts (Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and that loser I can’t even remember his name – James something) start of by testing, comparing, and driving regular cars on different complex tasks and hilarious assessments. Halfway through the show, the hosts engage in extreme challenges such as racing cars with tanks, controlling cars by remote controls, and testing wreckage resistance of junk cars and etc. Plus the show includes the celebrity laps part; invited celebs challenge previous guests in lap timing races.
And in the end, my favorite part of the show, where The Stig (lap expert at Top Gear) tests the world’s greatest super-cars for a power lap to prove which car is the fastest.
Those are the top ten fastest cars: (according to The Stig):
The show is on every SAT-MON @23:00 KSA on ShowSeries1 (TV Land) + every Tuesday on Arabiya News TV @ 24:00

Summer Fun..
11/04/07 15:24 Filed in: Interesting Stuff
During the summer season in Kuwait I always loved the chalet days. I’m looking forward to go out to the sea and cruise around with a couple of friends in boats and enjoy every moment I have. I’ve always loved to try out new water sports such as parasailing, Skiing, and even scuba diving. Since we are welcoming the summer season, I found something that definitely can please all of you guys who are considered “ sea lovers”. It’s the Dolphin Boat, the Dolphin Boat is by far not like any ordinary boat, its shaped like a dolphin, and gives you exactly the effect of a dolphin. The Dolphin Boat can jump 10 feet in the air and even perform acrobatic tricks. It is a two-seated craft that can dive 2ft underwater for more than 15 seconds. The Dolphin Boat is 14 ft 10 inches long and weighs 1,000 lbs. It has a 175 horsepower engine. The cockpit has three quarters of an inch thick glass, the same used in fighter jets. It is about 20,000 KD. Which I personally think is a bit over rated, Other than that I can assure you it’s astonishing. Enjoy!

The picture above was taken when H.H Sheikh Sabah visited The Avenues mall recently.

Frankly, I still didn’t visit the mall, but I got the message from friends that it’s really irritating to see Starbucks shops in every corner of the mall, and yet to come. Grazie!
P.S: I know that the owners of Starbucks own the mall – at least a convenient percentage, but that doesn’t mean monopoly!

“I WANT TO BE A LEADER!”
06/04/07 03:19 Filed in: Other
Two weeks ago I was watching TV and came across one of the most emotionally driving documentary entitled, “Building a Dream.” The documentary featured Oprah Winfrey’s five-year journey to erect and recruit the students of Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa. The project was originally launched by Oprah Winfrey’s public pledge, proclaimed in front of Nelson Mandela, to build a state-of-the-art school for girls in South Africa with an endowment of 10 million dollars.
In watching the documentary, one becomes aware of two pivotal truths that we often overlook, or take for granted: (1) The power of education (2) being thankful and content for what we have. The students, many of who featured in the documentary came from poverty struck backgrounds. A large number of students lived in houses with no electricity or indoor plumbing, and almost all of them had lost a parent to HIV/AIDS or some alternate type of turbulent death. The girls are on average, 13 years old.
Watching the determination of these young girls drives you to get into direct contact with your humanity. Regardless of their backgrounds and hardships, they nevertheless are students who have excelled in school and provided help to their colleagues. A specific student, who is 12 years old, offers a poetry class after school to her peers, and while she comes from a very poor background, she does so for free! The girl that caught my attention was Zohe, 12 years old. In her interview she proclaimed, “South Africa should have a women president women because women can multi-task,” and with an unequivocal persistence announced, “I want to be a leader!” To my friends’ disarray and ultimate surprise I retrieved strength from low in my lungs and yelled, “YES!!!”
The academy is a true symbol for hope and leadership in our poverty struck, war-hidden world. For such spirit and passion to be found a land that only recently was able to overcome bigotry and hate is a breath of fresh and positive air to us all. You can support the academy by visiting their website and making a donation to one of its myriad causes. You can also order the DVD featuring the “Building a Dream” documentary, which I feel is a MUST SEE FOR ALL.

The other day I was in the Gulf Road and I saw an advertisement by McDonalds. It was about their new healthy campaign, they are selling the idea that their food is healthy and clean. But when I saw the picture I thought that it wasn't an advertisement it was completely the opposite! The picture of raw meat cut in cubes and arranged messily one on top of the other just like the meat you see at the butcher. Believe me if I wanted to eat McDonalds at that time, I would've changed my mind, because the last thing I wanted to see while eating meat is raw meat!

Naomi Campbell’s new fashion line

I have just received an email from a friend of mine insisting that I should post this news on Buzberry. She said that this might not interest all of our viewers but it will surely impress the ladies.
According to the news, the designer Christopher Kane (one of the best designers in the fashion industry) is going to team up with Naomi Campbell to introduce Naomi’s own fashion line. Reports say that Kane and Campbell have already met and soon Campbell will have her own fashion line.
P.S I don’t know it for a fact, but in general, there is something strange about girls; it’s either that girls feel always oppressed or they always want to feel special and stand out. This comment is to all female viewers of Buzberry who want exclusive news to please them. Enjoy!
