poke each other using facebook !


موحد القطرين
it's a small world after all !
everyone is no more than six "steps" away from each person on Earth. Several studies have been conducted tomeasure this connectedness. While the exact number of links between people differs depending on the population measured.
That been said .. I think it's 2 steps when it comes to facebook.
have you been facebooking lately???
a friend of mine thinks it's a conspiracy.. all of our personal information being out there.. everything we do or did.. the fact that we are monitored all the time is freakin' him out.
ana agoola.. 3adi.. no one is after you.. you're not that special.. so get over it ;P
and to my facebooking friends..
I give you this song..

uuuhhhh.. what the hell was that?!!?!!

Kuwait -
Time: 1:00 am or something..
Location: home
Specific location: My bedroom, working on my computer.. yes a desk-top!

Reason for being up this late and tomorrow is a working day: cause sleep won't come to me !

...Suddenly.. I feel it! .. oh my God.. everything is sorta shaking!

did I just accidentally bump into my desk and cause all this movement? .. well I'm clumsy .. I have established that..and everyone knows I am.. but ... the thing is .. I would've known if I had hit the desk!!.. simply because I'd either feel the pain of that hit or get a bruise the second day...hmmm none of that!

so what the hell happened?? why were my tower of Cd's moving? why was I feeling as if I was being shifted slightly ??

next day I get a call and now I know....

I have experienced my first earthquake!! and where?? not in the US..right here in Kuwait.. after all the tornadoes in Florida.. after all the major thunderstorms in Miami and the Hurricanes...
now this





did anyone else experience it?

Different Strokes...

Didn't get to see the Oscars..

I had a long weekend and I'm still recovering from the aftermath..


my horoscope today was..

Today you could receive word of a promotion or an exciting new challenge at work. Though this is something you have wanted for a long time now, you may hesitate to accept immediately. Could it be because your self-confidence is rather low right now, dear Sagittarius? Don't let that stop you! This feeling is only temporary, while the opportunity could develop into something quite long-term. Don't lose your chance!

what would you do if you knew someone for so long to discover he/she is gay.. they might not know it and they might have been keeping it from you.. how would you deal with this?

Adventures in another cooking show

I think we established the fact that I'm into culinary arts and gastronomy, which makes me get drawn to Tv shows that resembles a kitchen and food in any way.
So my recent obsession is
this



Based on the memoir of chef Anthony Bourdain, it capture the insanity that goes on out of the customer's sight, in the Kitchen of a top restaurant. In one episode; on Nolita's opening night, a worker's fingertip goes missing, and a food critic gets seated next to a bathroom door!


I'm loving it.. it's very funny.

Color my mood..





Today..it's purple.. and a little trivia for you..

Purple represents royalty, spirituality, nobility, ceremony, mystery, transformation, wisdom, enlightenment, cruelty, arrogance, mourning. Purple is considered an exotic color.

Purple dye was made from the mucous gland of a snail. It required thousands of snails to yield 1 gram of dye causing it to be a color only nobles could afford. Today purple is a trendy color targeting creative types.

Face from Space!


Talk about taking that extra step in advertising!!!

The new KFC logo is visible from outer space. laid out at 87,500 square feet using tiles, , this all new logo spot the colonel wearing an apron.
The giant Colonel Sanders logo was built off The World’s Only Extraterrestrial Highway in Rachel, Nevada, also known as the “UFO Capital of the World,” Area 51, and the epicenter of inter-galactic communication.

It took a team of nearly 50 designers, engineers, scientists (including astrophysicists), architects and other professionals working nearly three months to conceive, create and execute building the world’s largest logo. It took more than 3,000 hours to create from inception to launch and was built by Synergy, a leading event company.

The logo consists of 65,000 one-foot by one-foot painted tile pieces that were assembled like a giant jigsaw puzzle: 6,000 red, 14,000 white, 12,000 eggshell, 5,000 beige and 28,000 black. Taking 24 days, working around-the-clock, to manufacture and ultimately produce. It then took six days on site to construct the logo, during which time the logo design pieces were kept hidden and under cover from identified and unidentified flying objects!

كيف ستبني الحكومة البلد إذا هدمت «ثقة» القطاع الخاص؟

كتب المحرر الاقتصادي
لم يكد غبار قضية الإفصاحات يهدأ حتى أثارت الحكومة غباراً مضاعفاً من خلال قرارها إلغاء عقود لشركة المخازن العمومية مع «أملاك الدولة»، فضلاً عن فسخ عقد إدارة المنطقة الحرة الموقع مع الشركة الوطنية العقارية، والذي ربما يكون قد فتح الباب على «أزمة ثقة» بين القطاع الخاص والمشاريع الحكومية.
ولم يكن مستغرباً أن يقرأ سوق الكويت للأوراق المالية القرار على أنه رسالة سلبية، أياً تكن مسوغاته ومبرراته، لأنه في الحد الأدنى، لم يأت على نحو تستسيغه الأوساط الاقتصادية في الشكل. فالشركتان المعنيتان لم تتح لهما الفرصة لتقديم الدفوع القانونية، وحين صدر القرار لم يبلغا به، مما خلّف إرباكاً في البورصة، ضاعت معه حقيقة الأمر: هل هو إشاعة أم قرار لم يعلن ولم يبلغ للمعنيين كما تقتضي الأصول ... البقيه

Are we Corrupted?




I recieved this shocking email...
and I thought I'd share it..

Ticketing corruption
In a great paper for the National Bureau for Economic Research, two researchers have found that the number of parking tickets that legally-immune foreign diplomats accumulate in NYC and refuse to pay is a great measure of how corrupt their home countries are.

Corruption rank Country Violations per diplomat
1 Kuwait 246.2
2 Egypt 139.6
3 Chad 124.3
4 Sudan 119.1
5 Bulgaria 117.5
6 Mozambique 110.7
7 Albania 84.5
8 Angola 81.7
9 Senegal 79.2
10 Pakistan 69.4


The paper ranks country corruption according to the number of parking violations per country diplomat, and finds that the results match up remarkably well with findings from rough survey-based estimates on the topic. Who are the worst violators? Kuwait blew away the competition with a whopping average of 246 unpaid parking tickets per diplomat over a 5 year period. Diplomats from countries famed for their good political behavior like Canada, Sweden, and Norway didn’t have any unpaid tickets. And countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America - regions widely accused of corruption - all had countries at both the top and bottom of the ranking. Some of the surprises? Colombian and Ugandan diplomats paid up almost all their tickets, while the Italians are overdue on about 15 unpaid tickets per diplomat.
The study also finds that officials from countries that have unfavorable views of the US tend to commit more violations. Apparently, when placed in a “zero legal enforcement” scenario, foreign diplomats in New York start behaving like they would at home:
Diplomatic immunity means there was essentially zero legal enforcement of diplomatic parking violations, allowing us to examine the role of cultural norms alone. This generates a revealed preference measure of corruption based on real-world behavior for government officials all acting in the same setting. We find tremendous persistence in corruption norms: diplomats from high corruption countries (based on existing survey-based indices) have significantly more parking violations.
UN diplomats as a whole owe New York City over $18 million in unpaid parking fines - and they’re complaining about the city’s efforts to crackdown on these violations. Said Brazil’s Jose Selicio a few years ago:
Diplomatic immunity, Mr. Chairman, is like virginity. Either you have it or you have not. I have not seen a half-virgin.
Was he worried about paying up or preserving internationalism? Likely the former. Brazil ranks 29th in the world corruption ranking, with about 30 unpaid tickets per diplomat.





The above opinion expressed does not represent my own!
