The Toughest Phone IN THE WORLD ! - Now in Kuwait Special Edition

The special edition Sonim Rugged phone by Land Rover now available in Kuwait, only 1 piece left !

This one is the Sonim XP3.2 by Land Rover, which is a special edition that comes with a couple of extra options like: a 2 megapixel camera and flash..

The box by itself looks so tough !

Look at the top 2 screws, how in hell could a grain of sand or a water particle get through that cover ??

I've personally used this phone, I ran over it with my car, played football around with it, dropped it while rock climbing in Marina Waves and have dipped it in so many liquids and it always manages to work PERFECTLY !

The AMAZING news is that when/IF you manage to damage or break it, you can simply register it on the Sonim Tech site and have a completely new handset shipped to you in Kuwait.

Last piece available for 165 K.D delivered to your house !

so you could see his moves.

5) By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you cannot
sink into quicksand.

Event : Keep Kuwait Clean

What can we find in Kuwait's beach ?

It's really sad to hear the answer when we actually will find pampers (usually used), glass bottles (broken and otherwise), cigarette butts, needles (I don’t even want to know how), plastic bags, leftover food, empty food packaging, firework shells and other rubbish and litter.

Do you want to see our beach without all these bad things that cause damage to our environment ?

Please take a step in the right direction and come support the Keep Kuwait Clean Team on Saturday the 3rd of April 2010, at 4 pm, on the beach next to TGI Fridays. This event will encourage other people to think twice before destroying our beach.

American Eagle Opens Thursday

Do not miss the opening of the leading lifestyle apparel brand American Eagle which will be open tomorrow Thursday 25th of March 2010.

It is located in The Avenues Mall (Phase one) next to Paul and in front of GAP.

I am pretty sure that the place will be unbelievably crowded the first couple of days so try to visit them in the mornings. I'm mostly curious about the prices of the supplies because I've heard that they will be very expensive. I also hope that the design of the store will have a cool fashion look like the one in the USA.

Happy Birthday Salem

Happy birthday to one of my best friends "Salem", I wish you a wonderful year full of joy and happiness.

Marriage Hall in Mishref

Mishref will have it's first Marriage Hall [9alat Afra7] and it will be located near the NBK branch, next to the 24 hours mini market. It looks pretty big and decent but I don't think they started working on the place yet.

I have read an article in a newspaper a couple of days ago that some of the marriage halls will be made for a funeral in the morning and marriage ceremony in the evening. How weird is that?

Review : The Blind Side

I really love Sandra Bullock's movies because she knows how to act perfectly and the best thing about her that she's funny, this time Bullock is acting in "The Blind Side" which is based on a true story about a homeless African-American kid ( Michael Oher ) from a broken home and she decided to adopt him so he can be a part of her family who are addicted to sport activities.

I don't want to ruin the story but the movie is great to watch and it's kinda touchy. My rate will be 7/10 for this movie.

The Most Awaited Deal of the Year

First it started with major investors, now it's the whole of Kuwait and most of the world even.

I'm talking about the Zain-Baharati deal, where Bharti Telecom was in the process to Acquire Zain Africa (Zain's branch in Africa) the approximate value of the deal is $9 billion !

This acquisition will be joyful news for investors, major and minor, as the stock price for Zain will rise and it's cash flow will increase - in slang this means "Zain's making a heap of cash".

News is that the final step was completed yesterday afternoon where the Bharti officials in Kuwait stated that Bharti Telecom is going to proceed with the payment and the transfer will take place on or before the 25th of March, which is the deadline.

Having in mind that if Bharti cancel they will have to pay a fine of $100 million.

That's why you shouldn't have four tennis stars in a match.

My Friend Met Neil Patrick !

One of my friends just showed me an image of him with one of the best comedy actors, Neil Patrick, and here is my friend's story of how he managed to meet him in London :

"Well, I was told by a friend of mine that there is a great asian restaurant in Tottenham Court (London) called Hakka Saan. So I booked a table for me and my friends and visited the place. It was nice quite with an amazing atmosphere, where I sat down and started looking around and my eye came on this guy and I was like "I know this guy". My friend started freaking out "ITS BARNEY, ITS BARNEY from How I Met Your Mother". We all looked at him at the same moment he was enjoying his meal. So I said to myself I have to take photo with him, this is one of those moments that wont come again. Then he went to the restroom and I followed him inside and my cousin was standing outside with the camera ;p. I washed my hands and he was next to me and I instantly froze couldn't say a word and just smiled. As we left my cousin stopped and asked for a photo so I took their photo and then my cousin asked if my cousin (Me) can take a photo too and he said sure so I said to him "Neil, I've seen all the seasons, Cracked me up" and took the photo. Went back to the Hotel and realized that with my photo he had a little smile on his face and with my cousin he didn't smile hahaha!. Now thats my story and how I met Neil Patrick Harris"

Thanks Abdulla

Review : Chicken McWings

I saw McDonald's Chicken McWings Ad this morning in the newspaper and I couldn't resist it. So I decided to give it a try today, which I did actually. It has the same taste of the McCrispy but more spicy and with bones, so yes it's delicious !

To be honest, I prefer McCrispy because they're bigger and have no bones.

Corporations Have an Environ"mentality" ?!

One global concern, especially nowadays, is the environment and one of the most thrilling reactions that are taking place because of environment neglect is Global Warming.

As most of us know most manufacturers are subsequently polluters, except a few who have grown sympathy towards mother earth.

Here are two of my favourite examples of big corporations that are manufacturing and selling environment friendly products- Enjoy !

Please watch the Mac Speech from minute "8.13" to "9.32" - Where Steve Jobs mentions their environmental frontier

Good job Steve "Jobs" !

Well done Porsche, hope to see more manufacturers taking your path.

What You Didn't Know About Avocado

We know it, eat it when we're in a Japanese restaurant, and for ladies you will find it in some of your cosmetics. But do you really know what "it" is ?

"It", is the valuable Alligator Pear or more commonly known as the Avocado fruit, and it IS valuable in the health benefits it carries and it's price. The Avocado tree is mostly grown in tropical areas, as it is a tropical fruit. Places such as; Spain, Brazil, the Caribbean, Portugal and a few more..

You think Bananas are a good source of Potassium ? Well think again, because Avocados provide you with 60% more Potassium than Bananas do !

Here some important benefits you HAVE TO know about Avocados:

1. They're enriched in vitamins B, E and K.
2. They decrease the LDL (Bad cholesterol) levels and increase HDL (useful cholesterol) levels in the human body.
3. Scientists have proven that it acts as a toxin and helps prevent breast cancer and prostate diseases.
4. Avocado is used to help people with sexual problems.
5. Very beneficial for hair and skin disorder treatments.
6. It's used to help people with digestive and circulatory problems.
7. It is suggested for people who live in hot climates to eat avocado or drink avocado juice because we usually lose lots of water and minerals.

I personally love Avocado juice, especially when it's mixed with honey, or Banana milk, or mixed nuts on top of the Juice , Yummy ! For those who don't think they'll like it much, try to mix it with mango juice for the first time you try it. - It's just DELICIOUS !

Review : Shutter Island

I decided to watch "Shutter Island" since Leonardo DiCaprio is acting in this movie. I can say that the story was good a long with the directing and acting which was amazing, but something was wrong and I didn't like the movie that much .. Maybe because the movie is 2 hours and 18 minutes long ?!

Anyway, I enjoyed watching it specially that the movie has a twist ending. My final rate will be 6.8/10.
