Trying to be Healthy in Kuwait

Last week, I  unexpectedly having that feeling of starting a diet plan but you know, it's very common for me to break all that fuzz easily and get back to my usual freakin' unhealthy habits... (sorry...)

Anyway, I was at the grocery to find something healthy and found these healthy foods on the shelves, its funny because I just want to try that fancy feeling of buying healthy foods in beautiful packaging, (hell yeah! its great for Instagram!! hahaha), but beyond my excuses, it's actually really delicious, I super love the combination of the chicken Ceasar salad and the eat-clean chicken Cajun sandwich and it's not that expensive, I can probably maintain having these meals on my everyday budget. Not bad at all...! yummy start for me then! 

Love it!!!

I read once  that" to be successful you must first conquer yourself before you conquer your dreams",  

After having kids, I suddenly have that struggle to get back in shape, imagine my frustration seeing myself in 75kgs with acne all over my face, I battled my postpartum depression by myself not knowing where I am heading, there was a point in my life where I have to question myself if I have made the right decisions, I'm a free spirited person, I love to travel, do things on my own, creative in so many ways, loner and most of all lazy, yes!! I'm lazy, growing up with grandparents makes one very lazy and special at the same time.  

I don't use to having someone mandate me and get jealous when I want to make time for myself, it's too much for me to take but I have conquered all these frustrations by looking into it in a positive way, I have accepted the fact that, destiny has brought me here and that I am gifted with the opportunities to experience life and become an instrument of life. I owe it to my creator to be grateful for what I have become and what I can offer to the world.

I know, I still have a lot to learn and roads to take, I must conquer myself before I conquer my dreams, here's a pledge to myself that from today, I will follow the 5 second rule, that is to listen to my heart and inner self, to take things one step at a time, to start living a life and follow my heart's desire. I know it's not easy, not even desirable at my stage, but I absolutely up for the challenge. I have a clear vision of myself, the things I want to pursue and I want to do in my life, I will not allow any negative thoughts in me nor into my system. 

for all the working moms out there, let this be a day that we all stand for what we want to do in life, to become the best mother, wife and a person we want to become, let's begin by working on our plans to become successful in many aspects of our lives.  let this be the day that we can say: I AM WORTHY OF SUCCESS AND I SHALL CONQUER MYSELF.

Creative Idea: Coffee Cup Handler

Can’t help but loving the idea of this coffee cup handler in Singapore, I feel that we should have it Kuwait, very convenient , environmental friendly (biodegradable) and much too say, cheaper than the usual coffee take away trays or paper bags….

Cheers to the idea!!! It’s great! (honestly!)

New Freez Bottle Design is "SUPER IN!!!"

The Wedding Dresses

I was with my family yesterday for a small birthday celebration of my brother, I don’t get much of the time to be with family because of our schedules but when there are occasions we ensure to have the time to be there, Oh Happy Brithday Brother with all my heart….

Anyway, it’s my first time to dine in Shakey’s and I must say, I love their food, I will write a separate review on that, however, on the same location, there is a wedding boutique that captured my eyes, the very moment I laid eyes on the dresses, I feel that the same emotions during my wedding day, ohhh!! Not the pressure/stressful feeling, but the feeling of being excited and happy. I super love the gown I could not resist getting inside the shop for a photo session (heheheheh) the lady in the shop is so nice to let me take few photos of the display.

I just love being there, the place was so organized and warm, I have no feelings of hesitation coming in not even knowing if the owner will allow me or not!! Shop owners discriminate sometimes especially if you are expats belong to3rd world country.  But this shop is just overwhelming with wonderful creation and a very positive vibes!! But sadly due to my mixed emotions and excitement I was not able to see the shop name so I’m posting this here for chance to show this beautiful crafted gowns to the public…

It is located on the same building of Shakey’s and Five Guys, 2^nd floor in Salmiya….

THE FOUNDER : Risk Taker, Rule Breaker, Game Changer

I posted new article yesterday about mind setting and fears, I wonder where do this calling takes me, I was reading a book yesterday and my older son accidentally played a movie on TV titled : THE FOUNDER it is a true story of how the famous MC Donalds become an Americanized Famous Fast food chain in the world. 

It started with a great and humble stories from the original owners : the McDonald’s brothers, they were fascinated with so many things, create new ideas, until they discover the concept of speedy service  on a fast food chain set-up, it’s amazing how they were jumping from one opportunity to another with so much positivity that they were able plot and find ways to succeed even how difficult it is, they never give up on something they believe, they have the talent, confidence and intelligence. 

However, with the success of their McDonald's speedy concept restaurant, a small time businessman Ray Kroc who has been unsuccessful in creating a name for his business been driving all over America to sell  ice cream mixer products, until he met the McDonald's brother, one of the brother is extra nice to Ray that he was able to convinced the other brother to give Ray a tour on their successful first ever McDonald's restaurant, in exchange, Ray invited the brothers for a dinner to learn their stories.

Ray Kroc immediately loved the concept of the restaurant that he started dreaming about ideas of franchising and convinced the McDonald's brother get into his franchising concept years later with the persistence work of Ray Kroc,  McDonald's became the largest and fastest growing fast food chain in the USA and has expanded internationally

until then, RAY KROC has taken the management of McDonald's for himself and become the founder of McDonald's, leaving the McDonald's brothers with only one store that eventually closed not able to keep up with the hype.

In a scene where Ray Kroc was practicing for a speech in front of the mirror, he mentioned about the word PERSISTENCE, and that’s what he used to make it into the business after so many failures in life, he uses this to make a name for himself and raise beyond expectations. ( I’m feeling really bad for the Mc donald’s brother, betrayal and greediness at its best!!)

The movie is an eye opener that, Education and Intelligence are not enough to be successful, there are many successful people who are not able to finish school but I’m not saying that it’s good to neglect school, it is always great to have the right knowledge and a hard earned degree.

Combine education and intelligence with persistence, patience and confidence, the world has so much opportunities for those who look beyond the box and work beyond themselves, set your mind to become who you want to become, be smart in all your plans and be wise in all decisions.

A Walk in the Fantasy World Universal Studio Singapore

Singapore is just too amazing to let go, but we have to bid farewell to go back to our lives in kuwait to make a living, anyhow, here’s a glimpse in this so called fantasy world UNIVERSAL STUDIOS SINGAPORE,  I apologize for the pictures as I have to limit my uploads due to space restrictions, I’m using only a “NOT-SO FAMOUS CHINESE TAB” to blog this,  will update more on this when I get back to Kuwait

Movie: A Taxi Driver (Korean Movie)

The hardest part of watching foreign movies is to read the subtitles but you know, that’s one thing that excites me the most, “Multitasking” getting into the emotions and comprehend the subtitles. heheheheh , this movie took the best two hours of my day without a blink, I truly believe that things happen for a reason, our very existence was already plan before us and that we can’t escape destiny and the people we meet along the way.

This movie proves me two things: that some people comes into our lives for a reason,  we subconsciously open ourselves to become part of them even for a moment in time and that's all we need to have that connection for a lifetime and a father’s love is unconditional, he’ll do everything for the people he truly cares  even risking his life.

I was very moved watching the movie, I don't usually cry but I give in eventually, I could have wish a better ending but it is what it is, it’s based on a true story set in 1980, a down-on-his-luck taxi driver from Seoul is hired by a foreign journalist who wants to go to the town of Gwangju for the day. 

 

Rest in peace Mr. journalist, you’ll meet him again in paradise someday!!

Artspace Kuwait

Perhaps, I can never be an artist like many of my friends but I always like to be in a place surrounded by arts, brushes, boards, water colors, paints and anything alike makes me feel like I belong, hehehehe….. it allows me to absorb that positivity from these artistic people, their vibes and the emotions they put into their creations!!  It’s relaxing

It’s incredible how a simple art can make plenty of emotions, not everyone is gifted with the talent to create something worthy to be appreciated by many, however, we as human being is already an art, we are created in his image and likeness and that gives us the right to become the ultimate master piece of our creator. 

we visited ARTSPACE yesterday with my kids and we truly love the place, the interior is beautifully design and every corner is artistically organize, totally a place for art and people who just want to hang out and appreciate art.

It is located in Salmiya, 2^nd floor of galleria2000 mall…
