BACK TO SCHOOL
Those are the most hated 3 words in the universe.Back To School.
Now that summer's gone.And this is the last day of summer,Are you ready to go back to school under all the swine flu circumstances?.I dont mean to scare you or anything,But by now we-the high school students-are already hanging up our school uniforms and packing our backpacks for tomorrow.But theres one question were all asking: are we ready to face the swine flu in the school arena?.Theres not much to say about this.All the media are saying that the ministry of health provided all the best tools to prevent the virus from spreading in the most crowded places in the country which is school.But again,Are we ready?.
For my opinion i am ready.We all should be.If we just follow the instructions very carefully we should pull it off without getting the virus.
So be carefull.And i wont say have fun in school because school is NO FUN AT ALL!.

Have you ever wondered if the sky could rain meat at lunch time?.Or ice-cream on winter?.Or even have a spaghetti twister?.
Well if you ever imagined that,you can see it in your bare eyes on screen.
The amazing movie Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs has been released on the first day of eid holiday at all cinescape theaters across Kuwait.The deliciously-awesome movie talks about Flint Lockewood,A nerd who loves science and inventing cool stuff that never been existing.Who also used to fail in every invention that he had invented.But when he invented something and he thought that he failed at it,Suddenly it seemed to work.But also there's one tiny flaw in this invention that has been caused by the citizens of swallow falls Who had been requesting many food choices all at once which caused a lot of damage to the machine.But sorry guys i cant tell you everything about the movie.I saw it and im amazed!.So amazed that i want to see the movie again but this time in 3-D.Yes you can see it in 3-D on the IMAX theater in Mall 360 Kuwait.
You can know more about the movie showtimes and buy your tickets online at www.cinescape.com.kw
3eidkum Mbarak
Hello.
First of all i want to say 3eidkum mbarak.And ta8abal Allah 6a3atkum inshalla.Yesterday was the first day of eid.I bet you're now flooded with money that you're afraid of spending so they wont finish up and you'll end up with bankruptcy LOL.
My personal tip for everyone in these days is: spend off you're money without thinking!.Buy everything that you always wanted to buy and dont let anyone stop you.In the past my mom used to tell me all the time that what i buy is just junk.Unless its clothes then she would love it.But again dont let ANYONE stop you or change your mind.Just live it up and enjoy these days while you can.Because starting from next sunday something horrible will start and i guess you know what i mean if you're a "high schooler" =).So again enjoy your time.Go to plays and laugh your butts off.Or go to theme parks such as entertainment city.Also go to the cinema.There are plenty of amazing movies that just been released yesterday like Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs.Just ENJOY YOUR TIME in every way possible

Arabs VS. Americans [P.1: Streets]
Hello Again.
If you read my last blog post about the differences between Arabs and Americans then you will know what im going to be talking about in this post.If not then please read that post before you read this one.
This time im going to talk about the STREETS!.
There are alot of countless differences between our streets and the Americans' streets.Actually i think it would take me to write a book to finish up the whole thing with details.But im sticking to my blog for now.
Im not going to write an intro or anything im just going to dive in the topic.
In the Middle East,or specifically Kuwait,The streets are messed up in every meaning the word means.Literally.When you drive your car heading to a certain place,you can see accidents,at least 1 accident on your way even to the supermarket.And im not just talking about accidents because i will go on to that topic later on.Im talking about how bad the streets are.I mean they're not built ready.There are alot of holes in them.And alot of garbage!.I know its not someone's fault.Its everyones' fault.Because everyone these days drive in their cars while eating.And after they eat they dont want to trash their cars so the easiest way is to take it out on the streets.The easiest way is to throw them out there without a care.Some people actually throw pins,glass and even sharp tools in the streets.And guess what happens to the other people,their cars' tires get blown up.And sometimes it can lead to major road accidents.Sometimes it can lead the car to roll up with the passenger in it.Which causes maybe death,serious injuries..ect.And no im not making a big deal of it im just SAYING THE TRUTH THAT PEPPLE DENY.In the States,Its NOT OK to throw garbage out in the streets.If someone did it could lead up to serious charges.Such as jail for maybe 2 nights.No im not overreacting.But people in the States actually RESPECT LAW.Also in the US the streets are really being taken care of.It feels like driving on air when you drive in the streets.
The Traffic
Kuwait is known for it's black gold.So we must have a lot of cars in Kuwait.Its a fact not wish.And we're also known for traffic and rush hours 24/7!.Yes day and night always rush hours and traffic.When its school days theres always traffic in the main high way in the morning about 7 until maybe 10am.And also at the afternoon starting at 1pm 'till 4pm.And at night starting at 7pm until 11pm.Traffic all day!.In the morning its usual to have traffic because of schools and so the afternoon.But what is up with traffic at night?.People usually doesnt go out on school days.But anyway there is traffic at night.
Sometimes traffic can be caused by the stupidest things.Example: a car get in an accident and the driver is ok and everything is fine and everyone's ok.But the flaw in this picture is that a random person stops their car and just starts to stare at the people who had the accident.Without any reason.They might dont know each other but they still stand and stare.And that happens also when someone get killed because of a serious accident.And the people would crowd up on the dead body and take pictures with their camera phones.Seriously what would the other people,visitors or foreign people, think about Kuwaiti people?.I think that its so rude to just stare at any victim of an accident.People who does such a thing like that should be ashamed of themselves and just get a life.I mean dont you have better thing to do than just stare at a harmless person?.In America,there can be accidents.But the difference is that NO ONE would stare or make a big deal of it.Because if someone stopped and just stared without a purpose,They would get a ticket or spend a night in jail.It is true I've seen it happen.
View of the streets
When you drive on the roads,wouldn't you wish that when you look out from your window shields that there is something beautifull to look at?.When i say beautiful i mean other than one small tree surrounded by sand,sand,and more sand.And adding large black trash bags!.Now that you finally wanted to clean the streets dont you want to continue your work and drop it somewhere else?.Like trash cans?.Back to the views.In the US when you drive,you would stare at amazing views that can get you to accidents LOL.I mean you would be so numbed just by looking at the amazing views they have starting with the greens,grass,flowers..ect(countless).
ZOO FOR FREE
In Kuwait.When you drive,you WILL ALWAYS find cats,cats,cats,and cats!.Cats in everywhere.sitting on the large trash cans or just walking on the street.Its like a free zoo out in the streets!.In the US its NOT ALLOWED TO RELEASE CATS IN THE STREETS!.What if some new disease started in the future..Like CATS FLU!.Then Kuwait will be dead!(Ismilla 3laina).
There you go alot of difference between the two nations.Sometimes i wonder why's Kuwait late?.Why's Dubai better than Kuwait?.And then i remember!.Kuwait businessmen always ask the same question.Why cant Kuwait be the next Dubai?.Why's Dubai getting more tourists than we are?.Why's everyone rather visit Dubai than Kuwait?..WHY ,WHY ,WHY ?
Ask yourself that question.I bet you will find the answer hovering in the air.
Thats it for this post.
Stay tuned for the next part of the equation =]

Patrick Swayze dies at 57
LOS ANGELES – Patrick Swayze, the hunky actor who danced his way into moviegoers' hearts with "Dirty Dancing" and then broke them with "Ghost," died Monday after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57.
"Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months," said a statement released Monday evening by his publicist, Annett Wolf. Swayze died in Los Angeles, Wolf said, but declined to give further details.
Fans of the actor were saddened to learn in March 2008 that Swayze was suffering from a particularly deadly form of cancer. He kept working despite the diagnosis, putting together a memoir with his wife and shooting "The Beast," an A&E drama series for which he had already made the pilot.
Swayze said he opted not to use painkilling drugs while making "The Beast" because they would have taken the edge off his performance. The show drew a respectable 1.3 million viewers when the 13 episodes ran in 2009, but A&E said it had reluctantly decided not to renew it for a second season.
When he first went public with the illness, some reports gave him only weeks to live, but his doctor said his situation was "considerably more optimistic" than that. Swayze acknowledged that time might be running out given the grim nature of the disease.
"I'd say five years is pretty wishful thinking," Swayze told ABC's Barbara Walters in early 2009. "Two years seems likely if you're going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it."
C. Thomas Howell, who co-starred with Swayze in "The Outsiders," "Grandview U.S.A." and "Red Dawn", said: "I have always had a special place in my heart for Patrick. While I was fortunate enough to work with him in three films, it was our passion for horses that forged a friendship between us that I treasure to this day. Not only did we lose a fine actor today, I lost my older `Outsiders' brother."
Other celebrities used Twitter to express condolences, and "Dirty Dancing" was the top trending topic for a while Monday night, trailed by several other Swayze films.
Ashton Kutcher — whose wife, Demi Moore, co-starred with Swayze in "Ghost" — wrote: "RIP P Swayze." Kutcher also linked to a YouTube clip of the actor poking fun at himself in a classic "Saturday Night Live" sketch, in which he played a wannabe Chippendales dancer alongside the corpulent — and frighteningly shirtless — Chris Farley.
And Larry King wrote: "Patrick Swayze was a wonderful actor & a terrific guy. He put his heart in everything. He was an extraordinary fighter in his battle w Cancer." King added that he'd do a tribute to Swayze on his CNN program Tuesday night.
A three-time Golden Globe nominee, Swayze became a star with his performance as the misunderstood bad-boy Johnny Castle in "Dirty Dancing." As the son of a choreographer who began his career in musical theater, he seemed a natural to play the role.
A coming-of-age romance starring Jennifer Grey as an idealistic young woman on vacation with her family and Swayze as the Catskills resort's sexy (and much older) dance instructor, the film made great use of both his grace on his feet and his muscular physique.
It became an international phenomenon in the summer of 1987, spawning albums, an Oscar-winning hit song in "(I've Had) the Time of My Life," stage productions and a sequel, 2004's "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights," in which he made a cameo.
Swayze performed and co-wrote a song on the soundtrack, the ballad "She's Like the Wind," inspired by his wife, Lisa Niemi. The film also gave him the chance to utter the now-classic line, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner."
Swayze followed that up with the 1989 action flick "Road House," in which he played a bouncer at a rowdy bar. But it was his performance in 1990's "Ghost" that showed his vulnerable, sensitive side. He starred as a murdered man trying to communicate with his fiancee (Moore) — with great frustration and longing — through a psychic played by Whoopi Goldberg.
Swayze said at the time that he fought for the role of Sam Wheat (director Jerry Zucker wanted Kevin Kline) but once he went in for an audition and read six scenes, he got it.
Why did he want the part so badly? "It made me cry four or five times," he said of Bruce Joel Rubin's Oscar-winning script in an AP interview.
"Ghost" provided yet another indelible musical moment: Swayze and Moore sensually molding pottery together to the strains of the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody." It also earned a best-picture nomination and a supporting-actress Oscar for Goldberg, who said she wouldn't have won if it weren't for Swayze.
"When I won my Academy Award, the only person I really thanked was Patrick," Goldberg said in March 2008 on the ABC daytime talk show "The View."
Swayze himself earned three Golden Globe nominations, for "Dirty Dancing," "Ghost" and 1995's "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar," which further allowed him to toy with his masculine image. The role called for him to play a drag queen on a cross-country road trip alongside Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo.
His heartthrob status almost kept him from being considered for the role of Vida Boheme.
"I couldn't get seen on it because everyone viewed me as terminally heterosexually masculine-macho," he told the AP then. But he transformed himself so completely that when his screen test was sent to Steven Spielberg, whose Amblin pictures produced "To Wong Foo," Spielberg didn't recognize him.
Among his earlier films, Swayze was part of the star-studded lineup of up-and-comers in Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 adaptation of S.E. Hinton's novel "The Outsiders," alongside Rob Lowe, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Emilio Estevez and Diane Lane.
Other '80s films included "Red Dawn," "Grandview U.S.A." (for which he also provided choreography) and "Youngblood," once more with Lowe, as Canadian hockey teammates.
In the '90s, he made such eclectic films as "Point Break" (1991), in which he played the leader of a band of bank-robbing surfers, and the family Western "Tall Tale" (1995), in which he starred as Pecos Bill. He appeared on the cover of People magazine as its "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1991, but his career tapered off toward the end of the 1990s, when he also had stay in rehab for alcohol abuse. In 2001, he appeared in the cult favorite "Donnie Darko," and in 2003 he returned to the New York stage with "Chicago"; 2006 found him in the musical "Guys and Dolls" in London.
Swayze was born in 1952 in Houston, the son of Jesse Swayze and choreographer Patsy Swayze, whose films include "Urban Cowboy."
He played football but also was drawn to dance and theater, performing with the Feld, Joffrey and Harkness Ballets and appearing on Broadway as Danny Zuko in "Grease." But he turned to acting in 1978 after a series of injuries.
Within a couple years of moving to Los Angeles, he made his debut in the roller-disco movie "Skatetown, U.S.A." The eclectic cast included Scott Baio, Flip Wilson, Maureen McCormack and Billy Barty.
Off-screen, he was an avid conservationist who was moved by his time in Africa to shine a light on "man's greed and absolute unwillingness to operate according to Mother Nature's laws," he told the AP in 2004.
Swayze was married since 1975 to Niemi, a fellow dancer who took lessons with his mother; they met when he was 19 and she was 15. A licensed pilot, Niemi would fly her husband from Los Angeles to Northern California for treatment at Stanford University Medical Center.

Compare: Arabs VS. Americans [GENERAL]
Hello everyone
Tonight on the way back home from grandma's house my dad talked about something that caught my attention.He and my mom was back from some new family friends that we met back when we were in Denver,Colorado.And tonight they saw a man who was also with us in Denver.The man talked to my dad and told him that it was his first time to go to the United States and before he went there,his friends told him that the Americans' treatment to each other is better than the Arabs' treatment to each other.He didnt believe that until he actually went to Denver and experienced that,and it was true.
There are alot of differences between the Americans and us,the Arabs.But im gonna try to cover everything up in this one blog post.If not there will be several because this is the kind of topic i was trying to clear to my family since 2007.And they finally got that this summer.And there will be other posts because i think it will never end there always will be differences between the 2 Nations.
In a general way to compare the Americans' to the Arabs',The Americans' are better than the Arabs'.And the percentage of that would be 80% if im not wrong;This percentage is not official and its completely from my experience and knowledge.
If you went to the United States of America,You would've known how better their treatment to us is.Even though some people say that the Americans are mean to the Arabs' specially Muslims,They're TOTALLY WRONG!.Every time you pass by an American they always say Hi to you and always greet you.And from my experience in CO,everyone is everyone's friend!.And when you walk in the mall,you find out that no one's staring at you like the way here in the middle east or at least Kuwait.Here in Kuwait City when you walk in the malls or even in the Super Market you find out that EVERYONE's staring at you without a reason!.Just curiosity.Especially at the malls!.Everyone stare at you from the top of your head till the bottom of your feet.And when you do something that's totally doesn't require attention,you get the attention if you wanted it or not.Example: Back in Denver, i went to the mall with my mom and i was so tired from shopping and i sat down on the floor until my mom finishes shopping at that certain store.And everyone was passing by me without even caring.It was so amazing that i realized how DOWN TO EARTH the American people are.If i did the same thing in Kuwait,Everyone would stare at me like if i were a movie or some kind of play.It would be so awful that it hit me in my mind that the Kuwaiti people are so arrogant;No offence to anyone but to be clear some people are!.Our social level dropped down!.Its dropping down real fast that the foreign people living in Kuwait(Americans,English...ect) are learning the wrong morals from us the Kuwaitis.
In Kuwait if you tried to just say hi or to greet someone you don't even know they will immediately thinking: what a freak,what does they want,who are they?.It will make you feel guilty.Like you did something wrong but you don't even know what you did to them.
That's what i have right now but stay tuned because its not over,yet!.
This is just the beginning.
P.S:( THIS IS NOT ABOUT RELIGIONS,THIS IS ABOUT EVERYTHING BUT RELIGIONS.ITS THE LAST THING I WANT TO TALK ABOUT AND CLEAR THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE RELIGIONS)

Tonight on the way back home from grandma's house my dad talked about something that caught my attention.He and my mom was back from some new family friends that we met back when we were in Denver,Colorado.And tonight they saw a man who was also with us in Denver.The man talked to my dad and told him that it was his first time to go to the United States and before he went there,his friends told him that the Americans' treatment to each other is better than the Arabs' treatment to each other.He didnt believe that until he actually went to Denver and experienced that,and it was true.
