HEALTHY INSECT SNACK

 

My diet journey starts over, so I'm hoping I'll stick to it this time! I was on Google looking for healthy alternatives snacks and I found this site.... high protein insects as snacks, well, I have been to china and other Asian countries specially in Thailand, this is not something unusual for me. I tried it before but I have never eaten it as I normally eat chips and corn. I came from a poor household but this kind of delicacies was never introduced to us growing up.

my thoughts: It's a healthy alternative that would reduce the number of insects in the world. It'll taste good that's for sure like peanut or something... but consuming it like normal snack??? well, I still have to think about it, im cool for now!! how about you?? 

My First Bugsha Market Experience in Kuwait

 After opening my first ever small gift shop in Kuwait, I decided to join StreetFood BUGSHA market, it's one of the biggest 3 days local fair, showcasing the best street foods and creative products from local retail shops,  I’m an avid fan of fairs and exhibits, I should say that, this particular organization is definitely a winner, very organize and the marketing itself is superb!! One big clap to the whole team!!

So let me take you to the whole process and experience of being part of the event, It's amazing how universe find its way to make things POSSIBLE!! DREAMS do COME true!!

DAY 1 – THURSDAY

For first timer like me, well, not fully "first timer" I've joined fairs several times I’m actually not very new to this, but for some reason, I felt so pressured and stress when I just want to  Enjoy the experience and make a lot of money (lols),  so the on the1st  day, the excitement turn to sour because I was sick, I’m on duty at my regular work and the worst is,  I did not prepare my things… I felt like I was on the verge of falling apart!! , the organizer called me as I am the one booth who did not do decorations with only 3 hours to the opening, I’m super stress and physically weak on the first day that I have to share same stress to my husband and sister, because that’s what family for!!  we shared the stress!!! Hahahaha….. Hubby went extra mile taking off from work just to get the stocks from the shop, and my sister with her hubby which coincidently on short vacation they are free as a bird, they drove extra fast to gather decorations and get things done… in short my first day was a disaster and a miracle, I dearly witnessed the love and care of the people I called family, we managed to pull things off with very limited resources, went on display  just in-TIME…. And Surprisingly sell many things on the first day!!

By the way, NBK was one of the Major sponsor yet it super hard to get their assistance even if I am as well an NBK customer for years, I was applying for certificate to get K-NET service via TAP, I visited my branch to submit documents and do follow-up, their response is to wait for 5-7 days which is already after the show,  (not even certain if they are going to approve)  it's crazy!!!  

For First timers/joiners and you want to have the KNET service, GULF BANK and BOUBYAN BANK are very accommodating and fast, have all your documents prepared and submit, it takes 2-3 days to issue the certificate. Highly recommended specially for EXPATS, you won't feel any discrimination at all!

DAY 2 -3 – FRIDAY & SATURDAY

After all the first day drama and mistakes, I’ve learned  a lot, so I woke up early, or better yet I did not sleep the entire night, preparing things, I close the shop temporarily for 2 days  and apply for early leave at work so I can  focus on the last two days of the event,

We started very early and multitasked (eating while working hehehe) till we are fully satisfied with the designs and decoration, I was so ready and well prepared on the 2^nd day, as the exhibit opened I can feel my energy comes into very positive state,  the entire family was with me , all out support!!! 

I always believed that, when preparation meets opportunity it’s a bomb!!! And that’s what I felt in that instant!! It feels good to do your thing with the people who sincerely support your passion!!

Overall, it was a great experience, super TIRING but it’s all worth it… should I’ll be joining the next one???  Well, not now…I super need rest, and I know, I still have to fully prepared and commit myself entirely because joining such event is not easy, its physically and mentally tensed but every after challenges is worthwhile!!!   Perhaps, in the next season I will be back!!

Thank you so much STREETFOOD event for the experience!!!! and to my FAMILY, you are all  that I have,  I am blessed and grateful to have such amazing people supporting and sincerely loving me for who I truly am  and in the craziest things I want to do in life!!

 

TRAP in the CORPORATE WORLD

Before I start let me ask you these questions:

1.) How many year you've been working in your current company?

2.)  Are you happy where you are right now??

3.) Is the work you're currently in,  provide you all the learnings and support to grow and take higher position?

4.) Would you stay on the same company in the next 5 years??

5.)  Do you feel confident/happy/excited going to work everyday??

The above are common questions facilitating your current working status, the more honest you are the more you will have a clear vision as to where you are right now, 

Ever thought of QUITING, STOP and JUST LIVE?? it's hard right???  

Living in this world has molded us to work for better life (in general)  till we finally say, it's ENOUGH and READY to REST, but even at our hardest days and pain we keep going, why?? because we are designed to be that way, to live, to provide, to survive, to live up to the lifestyle, to earn better and get more money, its a promise, a corporate world can give and provide in exchange for our time, blood and intellect.

We are a big part of this corporate simulation, a big grinding world that has the ability to take all our energy and soul we voluntarily gave, it is our sweat that keeps this world alive yet such world can easily paralyze us if we have nothing more to offer, THEY can trash people easily regardless of their loyalty, they give you heaven when you still have the ability to make it, and CRUEL when you have nothing more to give.  that's how corporate world works.  its a world where anyone can be slave and powerful at many levels.

While most of us are blinded in the four walls of the corporate matrix, there are few who already awakened, these are people who already understand how the matrix works and open their eyes in the world navigated by the powerful entities, they are able to work beyond the matrix and stay in the matrix whenever they want, THEY control their LIVES and use the MATRIX and not being controlled.

the GOOD news is!! Everyone is capable to be awakened!! just FOCUS on yourself!! look at yourself as the full resources you need to make things possible.

KNOW your worth and value yourself more than anything else, FEAR is an illusion, never ever!! underestimate the GIFT that GOD has given us WE ARE PERFECT the way WE are CREATED, GO explore Possibilities, LIVE LIFE to the FULLEST, do not be slave to work thinking that things will change someday when you can do better on SOMETHING,  I know, it easy to read but hard to do, so I leave you with this:

"YOU CAN CHANGE your SITUATION by CHANGING your MINDSET",  ask yourself everyday :  is the current work  would take me into a better version of myself and life in a long run??  

Carbon Laser @VLCC Kuwait thru SHEEEL. Com

My sister introduced to this so called SHEEEL.com app, it is a mobile application for best deals in Kuwait ranging from electronic to entertainment packages, and I’m absolutely hooked with it!! 

My recent purchased was the carbon laser from VLCC, I never tried extra ordinary things for myself, I always look into the price and think it over and over before I purchase something, but with all the best deals listed in sheeel, I never had the 2^nd thoughts of buying one for myself this time. 

I’m a little bit conscious at first, because after buying the voucher I read a lot of reviews about carbon laser and it’s not entirely nice, there was pain and maintenance and so on… it bothers me of course!!... 

But since, I already paid the package I went on with my schedule and try carbon laser the VLCC way!! 

Well, it took an average of 25 mins on the whole laser process, the pain is tolerable and it can be adjusted according to patient’s tolerance so it’s pretty safe!! Right after the laser session I already see the glow in my skin, I actually have a bad skin but after having 1 treatment of carbon laser, my skin feels very clean and soft.

This treatment is safe and no downtime, I can just get back to work after the treatment no redness or anything alike!! I super like it!!

And you exactly know what’s my next step… buy more voucher of carbon laser VLCC package thru sheeel.com, I swear I saved a lot of money and ended up with super soft skin!!
