Chased by a Crazy Dog


One day of our vacation ALSO in Spain, my mother baked a delicious cake and told me to give it to our neighbor. Our neighbor's cottage is not that far from ours.
I gave them the cake and headed back. While I was returning back to our cottage, I saw a small ball on the floor that looked like tennis ball. I picked it up and played with it. I felt that there is something behind me because I heard someone's' breath. When I looked behind me I saw a big dog (actually I'm afraid of big dogs, keep it as a secret between us don't tell anyone about it.. LOL). I screamed and ran away from it, but it followed me and bark and kept following me till I reached our cottage. Thank god that my father was inside, so he saved my life. He took the ball from me and threw it to the crazy dog and it finally gone. Then I realized that the dog was angry because I took its ball ... I really didn't know that the dog wanted the ball.

It was an embarrassing situation ... I know ;p just imagine me running and the dog chasing me PUUHH.

"A PIECE OF ADVICE"
just keep it maybe you'll need it one day when you become in such situation ;p
if you 're chased by a dog when walking, jogging, or bicycling ... Stop, run toward the dog, point,and firmly say "NO!!" or "GO HOME!!"
repeat it as needed
"THIS IS EFFECTIVE EVEN FOR DOGS THAT DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH"

Good Luck Then ^_^

The Stereotype of Kuwait Is It True ... Or They're Exaggerating?

The Stereotype of Kuwait Is It True ... Or They're Exaggerating?

I can't believe that people around the world envy us about everything we have or do. Seems they're observing us. All what they care about is ... How do we live? How big are our houses? How much money do we have? How luxurious are our cars? What brands do we wear? Where do we spend our vacations in summer? ....etc. They are killing us, but they don't feel that they are. They think that all the Kuwaitis are overweening, pretending to be philanthropists and telling poor people that we are the one who gave you this and we are the one who gave you that, showing off that we are generous, and we are the best, no one else but us, and employees are careless they get their salaries without working hard. They also think that every Kuwaiti has fields of oil under his house selling it to the government for large amount of money...

UHHH .. HOW FUNNY THEY ARE.
Here one of my situations which I've been told that Kuwaitis are rich people:
This situation happened to me when I was shopping with my mother at one of the malls in Spain. We saw an old beggar woman who asked us for money. I gave her (1.000 Peseta ,before they changed their currency to Euro, which is about 2.500 KD) She paused for a while because she was shocked. No one there or even here gives that much to beggars .. She asked me about my nationality and I told her that I'm Kuwaiti. She said "You're Kuwaiti !! I've heard that you have lot of money .. THEN GIVE ME MORE PLEASE ... I HAVE FOUR KIDS AND I HAVE TO FEED THEM ................" You know how do they beg people.
Believe me ... we are totally different, I know that you've been brain washed because of what you see in the media. All what you see is just silliness. If you see one person or two who are showing off that they have money, drive luxurious cars and looking at other people with self-conceit and a lowness eye .. or if you see employees that don't work hard, you will think that ALL Kuwaitis are like these people?

... OF COURSE NOT ...

Kuwaitis are not the same, and we're not all wealthy or careless, "YES" the majority of us have money , "BUT" others live on the salaries. "YES" some of us are not honest when it comes to work, "BUT" most of us are workaholic and deserve the salaries they get. Not just Kuwait has this kind of people ,all the countries have but even worse. We are really modest, generous , hardworking and like to help people who seek help, so don't let these people destroy our reputation and give you a bad image about us and our country "Kuwait".

THIS IS ABOUT THE STEREOTYPE OF KUWAIT IN GENERAL

I don't know how did I write these words, I just free my hand and wrote what was repressed inside me about what people think about us.

Spider ... Where did it come from?

Spider ... Where did it come from?


It is an ancient Greek myth tells of a lovely Lydian maid called "Arachne", a weaver, whose art was so intricate and beautiful that she challenged the goddess "Athene" herself to a contest at the loom. When Athene responded by destroying Arachne's weavings, the stricken girl hanged herself. Athene perhaps remorseful, perhaps out of spite, forevermore to weave her gossamer tapestries as traps for prey less wary than a goddess.

FRIEND IN NEED, IS A FRIEND IN DEED

FRIEND IN NEED, IS A FRIEND IN DEED
What do you know about friendship? What does it mean to you? Is it just a normal relationship among people? Or it's more than that? Do you wait for a reward from your friends? Or it doesn't make any difference to you? Why do you have friends? Do you really need them? Are they very important in your life? Who is your best friend? Or who really deserve to be your best friend? Is it very easy to find a real friend who respects and appreciates friendship nowadays? How do you choose your friends? Is it for their personalities? Or for the way they look? Or for what they own (luxurious cars, brand bags or accessories)? Or for their success? Or for their popularity?
These are questions that you might say that they're ridiculous and easy to answer ,but when you think about them carefully you will realize that they're not easy or simple as you think. At first, I thought that it's very easy to have a friend or more ,but I noticed that I was completely wrong. It is hard to find a true friend these days.

Friendship is a wonderful relationship between two people or more that full of respect ,honesty ,and appreciation. It's not limited and it's never ended .. UNLESS YOU DECIDE TO END IT.
Friends are very important in our lives specially when you feel that you need someone to talk to, solve your problems if you have , advise you and warn you if you did mistakes.

The best rewarding from your friends is to see them satisfied when you help them, the best rewarding is to care about you like you care about them, find them when you need them like they find you when they need you .... etc. For me I don't wait for a reward from my friends, I don't want anything from them but to treat me like I treat them, I just want them as friends .. this is the kind of rewarding that I wanted from my friends and nearest people for all of these years ... Nothing more than that .. "Lilasaf" they get what they want from me but don't give me what I need when I seek their help .. This is my suffering. Although I know that i don't get as much as I give them, I still help them and be existed when they need me .. I have to do that cause they are my friends and you don't know how much I appreciate friendship, it is important for me more than anything else.

when you ask your friends for something and you really need their help, do they try to help you get what you want? Do they listen to your problems carefully and find the best solutions to them?
If yes then you're lucky (Allah la ye'3ayer 3alaikom).

"Friend in need, is a friend indeed".. *suhhhh* it doesn't fit all my friends, I help them doing their homework, assignments and projects, explaining them what is unclear even registration but all what I did became MIRAGE .. I'm not counting what I did for them ,but how could they forget that I was one day their friend or even more than a friend. I was their nearest person as they said!! Or they're misusing me during lectures!!
I'm really confused .. believe me .. it's really hard to find a real friend nowadays who really appreciates friendship.

I have a friend who I know since the first year of my college. Ya3ny I know her for 3 years and now she doesn't talk to me anymore, do you know why? Because of a silly reason. Do you think that she is a real friend? OF COURSE NOT because any friend who really loves his/her friend accepts their mistakes and try to correct them their mistakes ... Not to leave and forget them.
She should forgive me if i'm really her friend or at least accept my excuse about forgetting her for one day.
I don't know what happened to me lately ,i forget a lot.

HERE THE SITUATION

We used to meet each other at the end of our lectures. One day I forgot to call her to see each other .. THAT DAY WAS THE END OF THE WORLD FOR HER!! "eshda3wah" nothing happened to leave me and refuse to talk to me.
I talked to her once and I've noticed that she doesn't talk to me normally. I tried to smile and ask her as usual "how are you?" but it didn't work .. I did it again & again, but nothing changed ,so I left her behind because she doesn't deserve to be my friend .. If she doesn't accept my excuses ,then who will ??

This is really ridiculous ... COOOME OOOON PEOPLE "GROW UP" .. We're not children or teenagers. We're big enough and mature enough to solve our misunderstandings, and we're above such behaviors.

I'm sooo sorry for my long post ,but this is the only way to express my suffering. Because I cannot repress it anymore.
Forgive me and thank you for reading it till the end.
