Rambling

I thought after coming back from the States my insomnia problem will get better but oh no no I think it kind of got worse :(
I really don't know how the hell I can fix this problem! 
Since I can't go to bed I decided to blog... after all I haven't been blogging in a while. Let's do some updates... well one of the biggest things that I have done recently is having a surgery... I know some of my friends will kill me for talking about it on my blog but hey I have always like sharing things with my readers :P
I had a lap band surgery to help me lose weight! OK before you go on judging me and saying I took the easy way out... I did it the hard way first by dieting and exercising but I fractured my ankle earlier this year and it made things hard for me :(
but yeah it has been a month now since the surgery and I lost some weight and I got myself back to the gym and I feel great about myself :)))
I'm so blessed to have so much support from friends and family... I even made new friends since the surgery who helped me through the process.

hmmm what else... I have been invited to two weddings in the past week o mashallah they were both in the 30+ age group and I wanna say to all my single friends see there is a light at the end of the tunnel LOL
no I'm just being sarcastic about the whole 30 year old single Kuwaiti girl because I swear I have been feeling the pressure from people here in Kuwait... damn some women are just mean and I swear I really try to develop a thicker skin and let things slide but some of these comments are just too freaking hard to swallow.

another thing that's really depressing me is my brother and his family moving to another country for the next 2 years. I can't even bare the idea being away from my niece and nephew :(
I never thought in a million years I will be that attached to those kids... I mean I remember when I first came back I used to complain to one of my friends how noisy and annoying the kids are and now if I don't hear them I panic! 
I even told my sister in law she can hire me as their nanny since I'm still jobless LOL ;P

ok my post is getting long and I think I should try to get some sleep since I have things to do in the morning but until the next time... take care ;*

Jelly Belly and the Elections!

So I'm back from U.A.E just in time for the elections and I know most of you really lost interest in the elections but personally it is my first experience!!
I have been away all these years and this is all new to me... So I decided to go to my first "nadwa" with my sister in-law and we went to magar al Mulla and his guest speaker was Dr. Ma39ooma AlMubarak... she went for al Mulla and I went for Ma39ooma... ana atba3 al da2era al ola o I'm really taking it seriously in terms of knowing the people who I will vote for... any ways it was really nice "nadwa" but the best thing was I finally got to meet one of my favorite bloggers in person (Shurouq) miss sun-shine herself and she was exactly what I expected so sweet and so down to earth... it was a real pleasure to meet her in person :**
oh one more thing I noticed about that nadwa.. the GIRLS!! it was a freaking fashion show...hahahahaha... I didn't wanna get distracted by them because I'm there to see the candidates but I couldn't help it!! Some of these girl were there for pure show... it was funny and shocking but I guess this is normal and we're not! LOL

Last night I went to Dr. Abdullah Al-Turiji with my cousin and it was her first experience as well... the turn out was kind of low comparing to al-Mulla bas it started well.. we were both interested in what he had to say specially in terms of Kuwait safety and his work experience in the ministry of interior... everything was going well until this guy who is apparently a presenter in Scope TV isma Anwar Malallah showed up... anyways they brought up the issue of the citizenship/aljenseya... lel7ain ma gal shay ghala6 until he started talking about Kuwaiti men marrying non-Kuwaitis and stealing the men from Kuwaiti women and how these "foreigners" are taking their rights by being Kuwaitis themselves and how their children may turn out different because of this marriage!
At this point I looked at my cousin and we were both VERY ANGRY... if you don't know this already my mom was Bahraini and I said was because she has the Kuwaiti citizenship now and she had it for the past 30 years and my cousin mom is American but she chose to keep her American citizenship and never got the Kuwaiti but that's not the issue here the issue was how this asshole was basically attacking our moms!! 
I could tell that Dr. Abduallah Al-Turaiji wasn't very happy with what he said but at the same time he didn't say anything after the asshole was done with his speech!!
I was so furious and I couldn't leave without saying anything... I tried speaking to Dr. Turaiji but of course he was surrounded by all these women and it was impossible to get to him so I wrote my comments down and I asked who I can speak to about my comments... 3 young women came and talked to me... I told them how angry I was by what this Anwar Malallah said and I told them my mom was Bahraini and she got the citizenship then they were all defensive and said it wasn't al Turaiji's opinion it was this Anwar guy who came unannounced to al nadwa... oh and the funny thing is the girls were saying he didn't mean "Khaleejyat" he meant "ajaneb" and I smiled and turned to my cousin and said her mom is American and then their faces went red!! LOL
they apologized and reassured us it wasn't Al-Turiji sentiment and they said they will pass the message along to him!
I'm kind of glad I did that because I didn't want my poor cousin first experience with the elections to turn out that way!
She actually surprised me and told me if there are more "Nadwat" I'm planning to go to and I said yes... Tonight we're planning to go to Dr. Ma39ooma Al-Mubarak o inshallah we end up with a better experience... hahahahahha

o yes I have been getting a lot of people saying why haven't you gone to any of nadwaat Dr. Aseel and my reply to this walla I want to and I will bas first I wanna know the candidates eb da2eratana and then I will start checking out the rest :)

any ways that's my experience so far o I'm happy to be here even though everyone seems so pessimistic but I still believe in hope and change :)

Guess Who's Back Again ;)

Sorry I didn't feel like blogging for a while! But I'm back in the home-land (sort of)
since I'm back my time has been divided between Kuwait and UAE (my parents are in UAE)
So yeah.. life is not bad... since I've been back things have been pretty interesting! Kuwait has changed a lot in the 5 years I have been away... the sad thing is to the worse... I know many of you have warned me but yeah to see it and experience it yourself it's something else!!
I have a serious case of road rage in Kuwait... people just don't have patience anymore and I refuse to bend the rules so the asshole behind me can make a one lane a two lane street!!!

What else.. oh yeah I fell and fractured my ankle since I got back... I was on a wheel chair for almost a month... I'm recovering from that with physiotherapy and the good stuff... (6ba3n dont get me started with the hospitals in Kuwait that's a whole post by itself) but yeah I'm doing better now.

I'm staying in UAE now... enjoying my stay with my parents... I made some friends here non of them are locals... I met Bahrainis, Omanis and Lebanese who grew up in Emirates... they are very friendly and they try their best to show me the best of Emirates... 
I'm also so glad to have a friend who works here that I like to bother and do things with whenever I'm bored here! LOL

Still jobless... got 2 job offers but not in Kuwait... I don't know if I wanna work in Emirates but yeah still looking for the right job at the right place.

anyways I felt like updating the people who care and actually read my blog... I have to say one of the reasons I have been so lazy coz a lot of my old blogger friends found me on facebook (7adi fethee7a coz almost everyone knew I was jelly belly) hey no shame in that.. coz if it wasn't for my blog I wouldn't had the chance to meet so many wonderful people... love you guys... and till the next update which I think it might be soon... take care.

Love,

Jelly Belly :*

"ثلاثه+واحد+واحد"


Recently I found two of my old high school friends on facebook and I was really happy to find them because I think the last time I saw them was 9 years ago!

so we were catching up on the old days and asking about the girls... mashallah most of them are married with kids.... and then they were telling me that one of our friends wrote mosalsalain this Ramadan... I was like wait Heba!

fa back to Heba 7amada... I was looking for stuff she wrote on our graduation day... ektebat khawa6er lakan lel asaf alkalam bel werga enma7a o 9ar 9a3eb yengara bas alkalam mazal mawjood eb thakerti... ektebat 3an alkarasi alfathya ba3d takhrojna min althanaweya... o wa9fat kersi kersi 3an kil bint feena ana kint al kersi al tase3 bas al kalam mo wathe7 o emma7a bas min al kalam ilee galeta....

الكرسي التاسع.... الإطار المفرقع.... السياره الواقفه... الظهر اللا مكسور... النكت اللاذعه... أحلام بلاد العم سام




walla thekrayat ma tetnesi... o ba3dain 6ab3an methel ma kanat 3indena sha3erat al ma6ar Heba 7amada kan 3indena sha3ertain min noo3 thani as you can read for your self...
