Time Travel
Posted by Bloggylife in thoughts on May 16, 2010
Discussing a topic isn’t always about its feasibility. Sometimes it’s about what will you do if it were possible.
Time travel is always an interesting topic, three factors always in the equation of moving, time, distance and speed. Always positive indicating to the next point in the near present or future time.
Time travel, is it about time in the past, or long distances to chase past snapshots in space to relive them or maybe just observe them, this requires incredible high speeds, will there be another variable concerned with space.
The most important question is, where would you travel?
The first thing that popped in my mind is the dinosaur age. I don’t why, but that era is amazing, I just want to witness the creatures, the earth back then, no humans, need to verify that, maybe even stick around to witness the beginning of the human race, I’d just be an observer, I will not alter history as we know it now, I may even fast forward all of earth years see how it looks, how it progressed, coming from the future I’d have an advantage, I’d take all my equipment for protection, don’t want to be at a disadvantage with the dinosaurs! All my gadgets will be solar powered 
I’d have a “Generating power for dummies” book 
I need to stop myself here or I’d just drift planning the whole thing for days 
Amazing Women
Posted by Bloggylife in UK, personal on May 15, 2010
I’m always fascinated by people, meeting from different backgrounds and cultures, listening and sharing different views and aspects about life.
From Oman, India, Pakistan, UAE, UK, Libya …
Young chemist extracting substances from palm trees.
English students studying methods to enhance how English is taught back home in their schools.
Computer scientists congratulaing and hugging each other because they just submitted their 6 months long project.
A computer scientist who’s married to a network engineer. That just cracked me up!!! 
A 40 year old woman with two kids searching a cure to a disease that I can not even remember its name, it affects malnourished poor parts of the world, India, Iraq, Egypt, it enlarges internal organs leading to death. Not only does she have a PhD but also is supervising 5 PhD students in HER lab. That’s what she calls it, “My Lab”.
One just gave birth … Another looking for a job … Just failed a job interview …
A colourful bunch, talking about Africa, cannibals, food, guessing ages, shoes, badminton, volleyball, football, insects, progress, past …
All that over a barbecue on a sunny/windy day

Bamya
Posted by Bloggylife in food on May 12, 2010
It’s started off with planning to do Bamya, then I saw the potatoes and the courgette so I added those too
Copped Onion and Potatoes, this might seem a lot, but I just froze off any excess.
I bought garlic paste, added it to the melted butter and then dropped off the onions.
Added potatoes.
Added the bamya.
Tomatoes are delicious, look how ripe it is and fresh, YUM
Added the koosa and then the tomatoes. Wonderful colours
Squeezed in the tomato paste and swirled it all around Then added water. Let it sit for a while until the vegi’s become tender. Added whatever spices I can find Still I’m missing what I had back home, much more variety.
The rule is one dish a day So I popped in toast instead of rice I had loads of leftovers, so maybe I can make rice tomorrow, etha leee khilq
Fabric Conditioner
Posted by Bloggylife in Products on May 11, 2010
I LOVE Marks & Spencer. Though their products are a bit pricey compared to others but they are worth it! I got this fabric conditioner and added just a full cap with each laundry patch, the beautiful smell stays forever! I walk sniffing my white shirts I used it with both colours and whites but not on those with labels that clearly states no fabric conditioner.
It is amazing I wonder if M&S back home has these kind of products, I don’t usually go there. They should totally open a full M&S back home. Selling food, they are committed to quality and healthy food and Kuwait needs this so bad. Unless mother M&S didn’t allow the Kuwaiti branch to include food because they are afraid they won’t keep up the quality! They do sell their own products and their fruit yoghurt, daily salads and fresh bread selection, heavenly Not to forget the hummous
Maraq Deyay
Posted by Bloggylife in food on May 10, 2010
YUP. Maraq deyay and rice for lunch today
If you focus they are the tiny pieces in the red sauce
I know what mom will say when she takes a look at this: “من متى تاكلين كوسا بالمرق”
I put everything in together, I wanted to put “bamya” but that is another meal by itself! I didn’t have enough ingredients to make a decent salad because all will go bad, so chopped tomato it is
The rice is ready made, I don’t have enough pots and pans, one thing to cook at a time. My neighbour came over and ate with me and then we had ice-cream perfect desert
Movie: The Hurt Locker
Posted by Bloggylife in entertainment on May 10, 2010
An intense portrayal of elite soldiers who have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world: disarming bombs in the heat of combat. When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge, by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. James behaves as if he’s indifferent to death. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James’ true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever.
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The story, the acting, the effects and the director. All bundled together for a great movie. How the story unfolds is unexpected and fast paced.
I wanted to know more about the character, Sergent James, how he ended up the way he is, but I guess you just have to give in that he is troubled and that the film is about the war and the different people fighting in it and trying to survive it.
I really enjoyed it and do recommend it.

Nostalgia Thoughts
Posted by Bloggylife in personal, thoughts on May 9, 2010
Nostalgia … everyone supposedly will end up feeling … I’m still waiting!
This feeling is so idolised that any other feeling but … is outrageous.
Maybe it is blocked behind thick walls of stubbornness, emotional strength or control! Or maybe it needs more time to get through! Maybe it is chained down by logical thinking, why release it when I know I’ll be back! Can it be denial?
I don’t think that matters, we all don’t have the same emotional map.
I don’t associate yearning with love … well not always …
See when you end up in a living standards that is less than what you are used to, you miss the clean air, the nice weather, the running water, the safe house, the comfy bed, you miss what you are familiar with, what you are used to …
Or maybe whatever you miss is associated with happy memories, childhood, motherly love, innocence …
There is a big difference when you long out of love or familiarisation.
I wonder how I’ll feel if I were put on an island alone, see I don’t think loneliness, I think peace! I guess because in my mind eventually we’ll all die. Another positive outlook, this way I don’t do wrong by anybody so that will hopefully bring my sins down.
At the end of the day, I know if it were up to me, I’d die alone and it’ll take days for someone to discover my stinking body. That’s how I came up with an idea (pinglivingbeings.com, areyoudeadyet.com), a simple web service, subscribers need to check-in daily via SMS, email, ping, twitter, with all the apps, devices and platforms out there, it’s very difficult to stay offline for a day unless you want to or you don’t have a choice, if a day passes without a person checking in, a warning is flagged and depending on your subscription, cops and/or ambulance is sent to your place!
This selfish life style I can not let go of, but I know myself, I’m kidding myself … this isn’t me. Only a small part of my life is solely mine but the rest is for those I love around me, and I’m not only talking about my family, but friends too, in fact a friend long gone, still has a part that I gave away.
Me: You are going to drive soon, be careful, wear your seat belt and no speeding and if I hear otherwise, I’ll take the next plane to just kick your ass and be back, you hear me!
Bro: What! You’re miles away and still lecturing me!!
Me: Don’t make me come!!!
Bro: OK OK
Me:
Life is easier when you only have to take care and worry about yourself. It is harder as your circle gets bigger.
I can go on living in which ever form it is, I’m not sure if this is a scary or comforting thought … nevertheless …
The people in my life, make the quality of my life better, they bring colour to my standalone grey existence. I always knew people around me will move on and they do, that is why I did not think I’ll be missed
Some keep my suicidal dark tendencies at bay others drive me over the edge. In this life you can not be selective or I’d be the first in line eliminating those blocking the warm sunshine
It is a choice for me, I know where I want to be “بحلوها و مرها” and not just for my own sake
My baby sister, my crazy big brother, my carefree living for the moment lil bro, my two kiddie bros that I can tease about seeing their butts as babies My cute adorable nieces.
It feels I broke from my daily soap opera and got my own show and now they are airing commercials, she’ll be back to the original series, so be ready
I’m loving her.
Dear MS Excel

YOU SUCK! Without doing any processing of any data you simply crash and with the stupid piece of %$& that is under you, Vista kicked out from the very bottoms of burning hell with arms wide open, it even makes you worse!
I’m so used to that damn box popping up, I suspect it is a built-in feature. What’s worse than you crashing with a simple open command of a KB size data only file, is the freaking “checking for a solution”, just like a headless chicken running around! The cancel button! What is the use of cancelling an endless result-less operation when it’ll automatically start again!
“Well, something crashed, I think! It’s not new, it happened before, I searched some knowledge base out there or did I just order pizza, hmmm, OH you want to cancel, oppppps, I need to find something don’t I and it’s not pizza, well I better give it another try, you don’t have to approve it, here we go again, la la la … trum trum trum … “
You know WHY you couldn’t find something out there, because it negates the very reason you were developed for!
“Hello, I couldn’t open a file. Really ??? Am I supposed to open xls files!!! Weird!!! I’m not sure how! Should I just have another go around the block … nothing out there, well you can’t say I haven’t tried, I even saved a copy for data recovery“
WHY oh WHY, there were no changes on the file, it didn’t even open! Why do I have 3 copies of the same file!!! It is useless to have 3 copies of the same file with different timestamps!
“ohhh, I forgot, Did you find this information useful “
^%$^ ^%$^& &*^%$ !!!!
So many features that “supposedly” make up excel, if I were Excel developers, I’d strip it down to the basic functions! I don’t think the people who gave birth to excel in Satan Villa, use it as they market it and level out its amazing features!
xlsx: useless wrapped in x’s
xls: xtracting life slowly!
I use MS office applications sometimes because of the format, and I don’t mean file extension, Office Org can open MS office, but the format of a template gets messed up. If you are writing according to a specific organisation format, they often pass you a template and it doesn’t work quite well with other applications.
Freaking thing got my ulcers kicking in!
