لولوه المجيبل ، طفله كويتيه أحبت مساعدة الآخرين ليس لأنهم محتاجون فقط، بل تسعى بذلك للقرب من الله وتربية نفسها على خدمة مجتمعها. تم تصوير هذا الفيديو بشكل حقيقي وطبيعي أثناء تجوال لولوه في الشارع لمساعدة الفقراء وفي المستشفى، أحببت أن أوثق هذه اللحظات لها، كي لا تنسى بعد أن يمضي بها العمر كيف كانت طفولتها نقيه ونفسها خيّره.
لكن وجدنا أننا مسئولين أمام مجتمعنا وأمتنا بأن تكون أنفسنا كــ لولوه ، لذلك نشارككم هذا الفيديو.
ولا تنسونا من خالص دعائكم. لولوة وأسرتها

So inspiring

The Buddhist temples in Penang are one of the most fascinating photographic attractions in the island. I have shot a film or two there (with my Minolta XG9) back in 2003 when I visited the island for the first time. There are interesting things in every angle you look that could be composed into lovely pictures, not to mention so many interesting people too.

I went there this time with my Canon 5D MKII fitted with the lovely 100mm macro L f/2.8 IS, and I couldn’t have picked a better lens for my photographic mission. I used a custom black and white profile to directly get a sharp high contrast images out of the camera, leading to a very minimal Aperture work later.

Don’t forget to look at my Malaysian Streets if you haven’t already.

Because I’m currently jobless, & have nothing to do but to think & think ALOT!. I’ve realized recently that I’ve changed alot. As if it’s not me. I admit I went through a change of personality after my mom’s death where I started forgiving people & accepting the good & the bad in life, but still I’ve remained this active girl who won’t let anyone step over her toe & would open her mouth to the max to defend herself (I’m not helegeya, don’t get me wrong) :P & I used to have a very short temper, I couldn’t control my anger at all.

Now, I came to realize that I became a very calm & I mean it, a very CALM lady (not with my family ofcourse). i’m being very patient, I can tolerate some ignorant people, and it seems that nothing can make me upset! Well not nothing at all y3ni, but really, Dumb, selfish, jealous & envious people don’t have that influence on me anymore! I’m more relaxed than ever. I’m always thankful to Allah for what I have even if it’s not that much, but to me el7mdellah, whatever I have is a blessing from Allah! I don’t swear at all now, except if I’m driving & there are stupid dumb people who are making me very nervous! Yes, the streets of Kuwait still have a great negative influence over my personality, this one I think will never ever change :P

Sometimes I wonder what leads to these personality changes? To me it was Death & then Marriage! But I’m sure there are other factors that can lead to personality changes! To me, I find those changes were positive el7mdellah! But what other factors can lead to positive personality changes & what are the factors that can to lead to negative ones? Do we have to wait til they come knocking on our doors, wait & see what will happen to our personality? Or do we have to be aware of these factors so we can handle them in a better away & avoid negative personality changes!

Death & Marriage were sudden factors that lead to positive personality!

Have you experienced such thing before?


This man who loves his wife very much and his wife loves him even more, got into a pretty big argument. Things got bad, he threatened to slap her, she said “you wouldn’t dare!” and he did, for the very first time he slapped her. They’ve been together for almost 4 years and he never ever caused her any physical harm.

But after this one slap, things have changed.

Is it normal for a man to slap his wife?! It’s-SO-NOT!!

This reminded me of my post A Real Man Never Hits A Woman

بعد غياب طويل عن التدوين اعود من جديد الى مدونتي العزيزة
في الامس كانت هناك مباراة بين فريقرمانشستر يونايتد ومانشستر سيتي وللاسف الفريق الاحمر خسر بنتيجة 1 مقابل 0 المباراة كانت عادية ولكن مؤلمة كثيرا لانها تفصل عن اخر مبارتين للتجويج في الدوري


Following their widely talked about sudden split, Heidi Klum legally filed for divorce from Seal last week.And today Seal has responded with his own papers regarding the custody of their children.
Supermodel Heidi, 38, asked for joint legal custody of their four children, but she wants primary physical custody.

Seal, 49, has now reportedly requested joint physical custody of the brood, which would mean the children would divide their living time between the two parents.The couple have four children, Leni, seven, Henry, six, Johan, five, and two-year-old Lou, together.
Despite the differences in their papers, sources say that this is merely a technicality and there is no custody fight expected.


It needs alot of effort & hard work to reach such point in your life! Where you become happy & content of what you have. Where you give more & expect less. Where you say Thank You Allah (el7mdellah) for what you have & for what you’re gonna get in the future. For feeling happiness & joy almost all the time (i’d be lying if I said all the time). For believing in the good of your society & country. Bless you Kuwait :*

Many people are telling me that “you’re still young” or “you haven’t seen it all”! Well I’ll tell you what? Losing my mother was the part that “I’ve seen it all”. i’ve hit rock bottom as many of you have read a couple of years ago. I totally lost hope in everything! But then suddenly, I smiled & felt that I’m happy with what I have. After that i got married. I wasn’t expecting it at all, but Allah blessed me with a good man (not gonna say great because no one is :P ). And i was very happy, over the moon happy! But then, Allah took something from me, I became very depressed & sad all the time! It has nothing to do with my marriage life! It was something personal. After that, I got over it. Said to myself “I’m gonna live the way I’m supposed to live & enjoy my life, enjoy what I have even if it’s not that much”. & Guess what? I became happy & content again :)

I’ll tell you a story that happened to me a couple of days ago. As you know that my car’s ABS system has to be changed. Guess what? It costs KD 600. i was like “it’s not even a luxurious car” so it’s totally not worth it. I’m jobless,& i’ll be having a huge event soon! Baby Reception, souvenirs, cover sheets, my own gown/darra3a for the reception! All that will cost ALOT for oneday but I’m happy about it! It’s totally worth it! Anyways, so i have many expenses on my shoulder; my car & my reception. I thought I’m being strangled but i kept thanking Allah (o astaghfer all the time). Guess what happens? Social Security calls me (ta2meenat) & they want me to go & visit one of their branches! aha aha aha, I don’t need more people cutting money from me! They already took from me over KD 3000 last year, I can’t handle such amount this year. I prayed & said that I’m content with what I have & what will happen will be for the best. I went there & taraaaaaa ta2meenat wants to give me money (smth from my mom’s salary allah yer7amha) Isn’t life amazing :D I started breathing again!

Life is beautiful & Allah is there if you can only connect with him, you’ll feel the love & generosity coming your way in no time.

Yesterday, I was inspired to do something that i’ve been wanting to do my whole life. I said to myself “even if I fail, at least I tried”. Dad & husband are supporting me! Friends are willing to help! What more can I ask for?

I can feel the doors opening for me :)

Therefore, I’m writing this post to lift you up if you’re down. To give you hope if you’ve lost it. To make you feel content if you want more & can’t get it.

I wish you all, one by one; all the happiness in the world! No matter what you’re going through in this life; make sure that it’s only temporary & it will fade in no time! Something good will happen to you! Just start to believe! Give more & don’t wait to receive! Take a look at the suffering in the world, see what you have & what they don’t have! We’re blessed to live in a country like Kuwait. I wish that everyone will find peace inside themselves. Spread the love, happiness & joy! Don’t just keep it for yourself! Some people need it!

I love you all … & to those who don’t love me! Well, I’ll try to love you but I can’t promise i’ll be able to do it :P

This post was inspired by the chitto chat i had with Samah Queslati.


 

We all know some of us have time management issues , some are doing something productive in their lives , Some are doing a lot of things in the same time .. ” More like Multi Exhaustion Tasking” and some are wasting their life doing nothing or things that will give you no use comparing to how much time and effort  your spending on it.

The people who have nothing to do in their lives

At first I was making fun of those people .. they are not productive .. I call them the people who don’t have a life .. I would go crazy if I sit doing nothing .. but with all the work I have on my shoulder I wish I was those people who have everything while just sitting and relaxing .. If I was from that category I would enjoy it to the max because I would be blessed , I would pamper my self and in the same time  Open something I’m passionate about whether it’s a restaurant , fashion or any type of project.

So you will have time for yourself and in the same time work on something you enjoy doing.

 

The Workaholics

People who work their life away ..

Those are 2 types

Type1:

People who are working so hard knowing that that it will earn them a better future ..I love this type .. because they don’t only think about themselves .. they are looking at their future for their family and kids .. and the family should be understanding knowing that it’s all for them in the end

Type 2 :

Those people work 24/7 and wastes all their time at work and at the end doesn’t get the value they deserve .. those people think about what benefits them .. i’m not saying all but the majority .. the segment that works so hard but doesn’t think of family .. at the end of the day they are not getting what they deserve and they have no definition of saving for the future .. instead of thinking lets save to buy a house .. they are thinking what should I buy to add to my car .. new wheels ?.. new sound system ? lets get the new iPad 3 ,  there’s a new device in the market lets get that .. maybe we should get a 3D plasma TV .things that you want not need .there is nothing wrong with that everyone has different interests , girls loves shoes, bags , guys are more into electronics , gadgets .. As long as u understand that and  help to please everyone’s interests and wants from time to time , but unfortunately what counts to type 2 at the end is “WE” is more like “ME” I’m working to spend on my self and no others .. even though I have a family .. they are dependable so let them do their thing and I can do mine!

Those types will never last as a family .. because their family simply feels neglected.

The Family Oriented

Those people are my favorite … they work so hard but always want to do something in addition .. like open a business .. constantly thinking of new idea to earn more than their salary .. because those people are looking forward for their family future .. I want to take my kids to the best schools.. I want to buy a building so that my children doesn’t need to worry about paying rent when they get married,  I want my wife not to feel that she’s neglected and be able to try my best to get her a little something every now and then of anything she desires.. They simply care about others more than themselves and try their best to put a smile on their faces and make them well off and happy  .. I think those are the most people who are happy now a days whether their single or not .. they build and think of their future anyways even when they are still young to even worry about it .

All I want to say is the clock is ticking guys .. you will only live once and life is short .. everyone wants a feeling of support .. support you loved once ..stop thinking about yourself , work hard but with limits, manage your time .. show love to your loved ones and give your all to your family for a better future .

 

 

 

 

Gotta start with thanking Allah for his blessings & everything he has given me after he took away my dearest mother! Can’t say life became better but I’m surely finding alot of happiness day after day. El7mdellah!

I’m so happy to share this news with you my dearest readers! I’ve been waiting for this moment ever since I was 20 yrs old or maybe even younger. I love kids alot & can’t wait for the moment to have my own, touch him/her, carry him/her, raise & play with him/her & even get mad at him/her!

I will surely follow my mother’s path! I will follow how she raised me to raise my own kids, to be successful, respect others, have respectful attitude & reputation! I will want my kid to be the best in the whole world, every mother does :)

Am I ready for this experience? Nop, no one is ready for that, it comes to you naturally I guess! Yes, I’m worried about sleepless nights, post-birth depression, weight-loss & other things but hey this is life & many people went through it & i will nshallah :D

طرح كريس شيفلت تساؤل يستحق النقاش في موقعه: لماذا ندوّن؟ يعيد كريس طرح النقاش الذي بدأه العام الماضي، في ظل تواجد تويتر والذي أدى إلى قصور الكتابات التدوينية.

لماذا أحب التدوين؟ لأنني أحب الكتابة. إذا كانت القراءة وسيلة لتنمية العقل والأفكار، وطريقة لتوسيع المدارك والسفر المجاني عبر الأزمان، فالكتابة هي ما يوظّف كل هذه المعلومات المختزنة على شكل تجربة شخصية جديدة. ما أقصده بالتجربة الشخصية هو عصارة تفكيرك، فكلّنا نعيش أنماط مختلفة تماماً عن بعضنا البعض؛ طفولتنا مجهولة للآخرين والتي منها اكتسبنا الكثير من أفكارنا، وكذلك الحياة اليومية وما تؤدي من تصارع فكري لدينا والذي ينعكس –في وقتنا الرقمي الحالي– على شكل كتابات سريعة في تويتر. لماذا يكتب البعض عن الحب بينما البعض الآخر يسرد تفاصيل يومه المملة؟ هناك سبب عندما أقوم بمشاركة صورة وجبة (مزاجي سعيد غالباً) وبينما أقوم بمشاركة اقتباس يثير الفكر.

اللغة والأدب فن، عليك أن تستوعب أن اللغة ما هي إلا ترجمة لعواطفنا ومشاعرنا المختلفة؛ وسيلة لمشاركة أفكارنا وآرائنا مع الأناس الآخرين. نحن نكبر من دون استيعاب مدى روعة اللغة، لأنه شيء بديهي ونعيشه منذ المهد وحتى اللحد، ولكن فكّر كم هو رائع أن يكون باستطاعة الشخص ربط ما يختزنه في قلبه (ورأسه) على شكل أحرف صمّاء، تجتمع لتكوّن كلمات دلالية وجمل مفهومة تصل إلى أن تجعلنا لا نتفاعل فقط، بل في بعض الأحيان نفكّر كثيراً بل وحتى نبكي.

التدوين هو أسهل وسيلة لمشاركة الآراء الفعلية (وليست الضائعة، كتويتر) للناس بأسلوب لا يختلف كثيراً عن الجرائد والمجلات، بل أنت غير مجبر على إرضاء رئيس تحرير لكتاباتك. هذا لا يعني أن الكتابة الاحترافية في هذه الأماكن غير محبوبة، على العكس، ولكنني فقط أحاول تبيين مدى تفاهة وسهولة الأمر. تستطيع تدشين مدونة وبدء الكتابة في خمس دقائق، ولا يهم مستوى الكتابة وما إن كانت تتناسب مع معاييرك الشخصية والتي تريدها أن تكون عالية رغماً عن مهاراتك المحدودة. دوّن، تعلم من أخطائك، لم تلدنا أمهاتنا علماء والإنسان غير معصوم عن الخطأ حتى نهاية عمره. نظرة سريعة على موقع Letters of Note تبيّن لنا كيف أن أعظم الكتّاب لا يخلون أحياناً من هفوات نحوية (وما شابه) في رسائلهم. قبل عدة سنين كانت كتابتي سيئة وأستحي من نشرها علناً، واليوم أنا أكتب رواية بالإضافة إلى عدة مقالات شهرية لمواقع مختلفة. لا تجعل من هذا العذر منفذ لإحباطك.

لا أدوّن كثيراً هنا لأنني منشغل في تحديث مدونة الألعاب الخاصة بي (وصديقي يوسف) بشكل يومي. من يعرفني جيداً يعرف عدد المدونات التي فتحتها إلى أن وصلت لهذه المدونة (والتي إلى الآن لا أعتقد أنها مهمة)، فكرت في إغلاقها أكثر من مرة ولكن ما يدفعني بعيداً عن هذه الفكرة هو أنني أريد مدونة شخصية أكتب فيها لو أردت الاسترسال بما لا يستطيع احتضانه تويتر. عملي على الرواية أيضاً يبعدني قليلاً عن التدوين الاعتيادي، لأنني أحب تركيز كل طاقاتي فيها.

أعتقد أن الفنون هي الثوابت الوحيدة في حياتي؛ الناس تذهب وتتغير، ومن كنت أصادقه قبل 7 سنين لا أعرفه الآن، ولكن حبي للقراءة والكتابة والألعاب والأفلام والموسيقى وما إلى آخره لم يتغيّر إلا للأفضل. بالقراءة والكتابة تنهض الأمم، ولو نمارس جميعاً قراءة كتاب واحد في الشهر (لا أطلب أكثر) ثم كتابة مقال في واحد في ذات الشهر، سنرتقي فكرياً ونترك بصمة واضحة وسبب في نهضة الويب العربي. قد تكون الفكرة الرئيسية في الموضوع الذي طرحه كريس هي التدوين، ولكنه في النهاية مشتق من شيئين أساسيين لا يفترقان بالنسبة لي: القراءة ثم الكتابة.
