Pocket Full Of Sunshine

I was sitting in Lenotre yesterday with D and R, I ordered the club sandwich and only had like a quarter of it so I got the rest to go ‘cos I knew I’d get hungry later at work.. R told me that in Paris it’s rude to have your food to go so I looked at her and said well we’re in Kuwait so it doesn’t really matter then she said something “… this is the closest we’ll ever get to Paris…”

We left shortly afterwards and I was driving back to the office and her words kept playing in my head “… this is the closest we’ll ever get to Paris…” when she said that she didn’t mean to go on holiday, she meant get out of Kuwait for good.. or for at least a long long time..

I got to the office, snapped out of my daze and called R and told her “No baby girl, this isn’t the closest we’ll ever get to Paris, we WILL leave one day and you can bet your 5 inch Louboutins on it”

I printed out a picture of my girls and I and pinned it on to the picture I have of the Eiffel Tower in my cubicle…

I think I have an eye infection, I went to sleep at around 3 am last night and I woke up from the pain about an hour before I set my alarm, can you imagine how horrible it is to wake up to a pain in your eye?! Now I need to go to the doctor but don’t have the chance ‘cos I’m too busy, and too scared! I don’t wanna wear an eye patch or something! I DO have a social life..

I need a decent mani and pedi.. The woman who does my nails got robbed and beaten on the streets so she’s in hospital! (I MISS YOU ERLINDA!!)

I found my bracelet!! The house keeper thought it was a bolt or a screw and she put it on the side of the stairs..

My sister is back from Lebanon after a long interesting trip through Syria! I can’t wait to finish work and go jump on her!! They interviewed her as the last Kuwaiti who refused to leave Lebanon!

5 days until my course starts! I’m beyond psyched! R got me a student guide book about Illustrator and I’ve been unbelievably addicted to it, I stay up all night reading and trying everything out..

I was out of the office for a couple of hours running around doing things and I missed taking pictures for the newsletter! I didn’t take the group picture or an individual photograph, I was kinda dreading the fact that I had to take a photo but now I feel kinda sad and left out!

So.. This is my first time posting from my mobile.. D and I were driving along so happily then her car started flashing an alert, something about a water coolant, so I told her to pull over at the side of the road, I lifted the hood and saw that the radiator tube had ripped at the sides and was leaking water and the car started smoking, I immediatly switched the car off and called Super F to the rescue.. We’re sitting in the car right now waiting for the crane to come take loui away will post pics in the morning!!

I’m not a Play Station or XBox person at all but yesterday I was at a friends place and they had the game Assassin’s Creed, they played the trailer and I instantly fell in love with the graphics. Below is the trailer, but it looks so much better on a big screen TV.

The goal of the game is to complete nine assassinations. The game I believe takes place in Jerusalem and the face of the character in the game is modelled after Francisco Randez who models for Jean Paul Gaultier.

As to celebrate Cinco de Mayo I took the day off work to finish off a few things, we went to Lenotre to eat. Their Burger was disgusting, it was so dry and had no flavor what so ever, when ordering a burger in a restaurant I usually order it cut in 4 pieces, I literally had only 1 quarter of it. We went to Arraya to pick up a few things and for some reason it was so packed! Ran a couple more errands then went to get her car washed at the Petrol Station in Qurtoba (on the 4th ring road) we payed KD 2.250 for going through the car wash machine and supossedly getting the outside of the car waxed, we left then realised they didn’t wax the car. It’s good if you’re going out and just need a quick wash.

D dropped me off to the 3aza (funeral) and I left at the Maghreb prayer, D and I went to the office where I had to finish off a couple of things. Later that night we went to Movenpick in Bidi3 to grab something to eat where we usually do, but we ended up sitting downstairs at the sea food restaurant and ordered cold mezzas. Which were if possible more disgusting than the burger in Lenotre.

So in a nut shell yesterday was not a good day to eat out, or take your car to get washed…

I was talking to TON last night and we were discussing how Kuwait makes you so angry all the time. I’m such a positive person, and I’m so optimistic. But being in Kuwait drives you to points of no return. I’m angry all the time, I don’t like being angry, I’m not an angry person. I’ve found myself on numerous occasions shouting my head off, I realize what I’m doing and stop. I scare myself sometimes when I see how angry I can get over little things like my shirt isn’t ironed or somebody bumps into me..

Like last night for example, I went on the scale and found out I added a couple of pounds I was on the phone to D and I burst into tears, little things that didn’t mean anything to me now mean the world, I don’t know if it’s Kuwait that’s driving me to the upmost scale of boredom that I find myself sweating the little things in life, or if it’s the people that are making me turn into this passive, jelous, superficial crazy woman. Maybe it’s just me, I’m not sure but this has to stop, I miss me!!
