is it just me?

or isnt the girl that appears on minute 6:10 in this video is none other than Aseel Alawathi? i mean this vid is of Kuwaitis returning to Kuwait for the first time after the liberation in 1991, so thats a long time ago so she would look younger, probably thinner and with longer hair...so watch and tell me what you think cuz i could swear it's her.

64....

......is probably the minimum number of times your gonna hear, read a post, or see a facebook mobile upload picture about todays weather....

funny faint

i havent been feeling well for a few days now and last night i couldnt get a solid hour of sleep cuz of my high temp, one moment i'd be shaking from the cold as if i was standing naked in an alaskan winter, the next i'd be sweating like a white american in a hot kuwaiti summer. So this morning i finally gave in to the demands of my aging body and sought medical attention in a private hospital (keywords here being attention and private hospital). After dragging my sick ass all over the hospital filing forms and paying here and showing my medical insurance card there, i finally got to see the doctor. The diagnoses was, as expected, high fever, infection, the usual. So I was instructed by my good doctor to take a few shots to lower my fever and have antibiotics injected into my system so as to work faster because, well i needed it right away. So, seeing how urgently i needed those shots, i had to go up stairs, pay for the injections, go to the pharmacy, buy the injections, come back downstairs, find a nurse, give same nurse the receipt and wait for my injections, all the while carrying my 38.5 degree temperatured body along. Anyways, the nurse takes me to the injection room and as usual the first thing i ask before getting an injection is "wain el ebra?" and point to my arm. The nurse gives me a smirk and says "down sir" pointing towards my hips. I roll my eyes as i unbuckle my pants and turn around (i just realized how that line might sound like). She pulled my pants down a bit and then gave me my first shot on the right cheek, then asks me to turn slightly so she can give me the second one on the left side. This is when i start feeling dizzy, almost like i was going to throw up but didnt, then it felt as if i couldnt breathe, it got hot, i lost my balance and my right shoulder dropped on the bed i was standing next to. I tried to gather myself back up but could not. It was then i realized that i fainted, now try to imagine this, on my face on the bed with my pants down! at this point i couldnt help but quietly laugh at myself and the situation i was in. The nurse used a cloth that was dowsed in a strong smelling chemical that popped my eyes back open enough for me to help myself to lay correctly on the bed.....and pull my pants up of coarse.

the first one

wouldn't it be great if we can go back to a time when kuwaiti bloggers were not about making money ?
