Water Bar

In a recent trip to Dubai we went to Dubai Mall and left the car with the valet parking, and when we came back to collect it they gave us this box as a gift..






I never thought water can be gifted but I guess I'm wrong!
I loved it!
It has a selection of 5 different types of supposidly some of the best bottled water in the world. All of them I've never heard about before.. each had a brief discription.. here they are:

1. ISKILDE

2. Mondariz


3. Te Waihou


4. Tazmanian Rain


5. Ice Age


Here's their link: Water Bar

Breakeven


One of the songs that I really like right now is The Script's Breakeven.. bs everytime I sing along to it I can't help but feel guilty when singing the part "just praying to a god that I don't believe in" .. the other day while listening to 99.7 they played the song oo awal ma sima3t'ha i thought haw shloon be7i6oonha?!

guess what?? they cut that part out oo u can't notice that!
I'm searching for that version now bs can't seem to find it, I need to enjoy that song minus the guilt ;p

Red velvet.. such a pretty sight! from basic ingredients being incorporated to the end result, the colours the colours!! i couldn't resist posting these pics, it was hard choosing which pics to post when all of them were so wonderful post worthy.. 
I made this along time ago but forgot to post it, bs what better time to post it than in Ramadan?? ;p 













































It was a crowd pleaser ;)

Little steps that make a difference

After reading eshda3wa's post about recycling and her question "What do you guys do to help the environment?" I thought I'd answer her question in a post.

I do admit that in certain things I'm not a "green person", I mean I still use regular plastic bags when I go grocery shopping instead of reusable bags, bs I try my best to be as green as I can. I listed some of the things that I do to help the enviornment (3gub ma I listed them I noticed that most of them revolve around plastic bags don't ask y! :p ) :

* I don't throw away magazines, newspapers, flyers.. etc. I collect them and put them in the storeroom until i have a huge bulk and then call one of the recycling companies to pick them up (like The Green Target Co.).

* In the co-op:
- When I buy 1-3 items only I don't use a plastic bag, I can manage holding them in my hand without a bag.
- When u buy lettuce for example, it comes wrapped in nylon and u take it and weigh it, put it in a jam3iya bag, and then put the price label on it. Instead, I let them put the label on the nylon itself.
- When ur at the cashier let them put as many items possible in one bag. They usually put the toast in a bag, the cheese in another and so on while the bag is still empty.

* I use the plastic bags that comes home from the above step as nappy bags for mini me @ home ;p

* I reuse glass jars to store spices and other stuff.

* I use good quality shoeboxes as storage boxes. They do wonders in organizing ur stuff, have u seen LV's boxes?? they r very practical as they have the shape of drawers! very useful for storing socks and belts.

* Close the water faucet while burshing ur teeth, don't let the water run without any use.

Thats all that I can remember for now.. what about u?? have u got any ideas on how to save the environment?

Mubarak 3alaikum il shahar!


- 3asakum t9oomoonah bil 9i7a wil 3afya =)

- I woke up the 1st day only to find that it was only 7:30 am when work doesn't start until 9:30!!!
I was sooooo angry with myself laish enni thaya3t 3alay more than an hour of sleep! =S
bs 3naaaad I laid still until the alarm went off ;p2day i woke up 8:10.. fee taqadum bas ham I woke up b4 the alarm =(

- The best thing though is that @ work the air is clean, no trace of the nasty smell of smoke that sticks to my hair/clothes! =D

- The plan was that I'll eat less this ramadan to loose a couple of kilos. il 7a9il enni I'm eating more than 5 lgaimat wara il fu6ooor.. MORE THAN 5!! =(

- I'm loving Wataniya Telecom's advertisement.. wayd 7ilo and the acting ili feeh 6abee3i mafeeh ti9inni3..

- I really miss having mom and dad around.. I miss having fu6oor @ my parent's house.. 3asallah eridhum bil salamah enshallah...

- I was chatting with my friends about TV series, Sahir illail to be precise, I like how they dress.. they really do look like the 70s.. bs we were counting out the mistakes, like for example libs il medaris theek il ayam kan 3annabi mo rumadi, and the fact that @ that time all men who went to the university wore ghutra and 3igal ooo never went emfar3een.. la7athna enna we were watching it for the sake of finding mistakes rather than actually watching it ;p

- I was flipping through channels when I came across 7asan il ballam. Did u see his teeth makeover?? they are white and perfect!! too perfect that it feels wrong.. like something is missing, i prefer the old him with the messy teeth.. just like how il jasmi looked better fat..
