Question
I do believe that every action has a reaction and every person has their own "personal" reasons for how they treat others. However, I don't think that people should hold grudges against each other. It's just so sad and so pathetic..
I'm interested in reading your views! ;)
A close friend of mine always use this quote.. "Live well, laugh often, love much" and oh I couldn't agree more!!
The reason for this post is to ask two questions..
- How can some people carry so much hate in their hearts for so long?
- Why do good hearted people most often get hurt?

Surgery Gone Wrong!
Securitymen arrested three women — a Kuwaiti and two expatriates — for performing cosmetic surgeries in a house in Al-Qurain, reports Al-Rai daily.
On receiving information that the Kuwaiti woman was conducting plastic surgeries with the help of the other two women, an Egyptian and an Iranian, securitymen armed with a warrant issued by the Public Prosecution, raided the house and arrested all three of them.
Investigations revealed that they were charging KD 100 for a ‘cheek filling’ procedure and KD 150 for lips enlargement.
Sources say an influential personality intervened and got the Kuwaiti woman released but the two expatriates have been referred to authorities and will be deported.

Change
I woke up today with a feeling; a feeling of change. Why is today so different? That's a question I'm still trying to answer myself, but what makes this feeling so significant is what I can explain. A little warning though before you read any further, as a blogger I feel like it's my duty to warn you that this isn't my best post, it's not even close. I apologize, dear readers for that, and for the fact that I haven't been blogging since god knows when. However, I hope this will be considered a start in making up for lost time. Also, I believe that utter honesty and plain frankness is the best approach when it comes to expressing one's feelings, so here it goes...
As I was saying, I woke up today with a feeling of change. This feeling comes out, unfortunately, because of so many built up and piled up emotions. Emotions that sadly took over, and finally left me with not so much of a want but a desperate need for change. I still can't wrap my head around the reason why it all happened, but I do know when it all began and how it slowly developed to this. I'm sure you're all familiar with the phrase "Never put all your eggs in one basket"; basically never invest everything you have in one "thing". I know what you are all thinking: who is stupid enough to do that? Guess what? I was stupid enough to do that. Upside? I'm finally owning up to my mistake and admitting it. They say admitting to the problem is the hardest part, and the rest will come easy. I hope for my sake whoever "They" are were right, because accepting the problem really took its toll on me. Now, back to my bad "investment", and in the fear of stating the obvious we all know that wasn't in stocks or any money worthy anything, it's so much worse than that. I was stupid enough to invest my feelings, trust, and believe it or not my heart. (I just have to say, this sentence was extremely hard to type). If you know me, you would know that I'm the kind of person that tries, but miserably fails, to not drown myself in my own sorrows. Most of the time I'm put-together, and well-composed, but there are times when I let my emotions take the best of me and I will not apologize for that. This is one of those times. I'm sure you can relate to this, one way or another.
So, today I decided that I will not let this "feelings" take over and instead I'm seeking change. My problem is that I always waited and expected others to do the changing, I never really thought about how ridiculous that is. How can I, as an independent individual, expect another independent individual to just change? That really doesn't make any sense. I know now that change comes from within, and if I did want people to change I might as well just get a new bunch of them instead. Sometimes you have to let people be whoever they want to be and let them make their own mistakes. I used to believe in second, third, and even fourth chances, but now I believe in "Forgive and Forget"; Forgive them for what they did, and forget they existed. My loss, or as I'd like to call it my "bad investment" caused somewhat of trauma to me, but it was a major eye opener to me. So, dear readers my last advice to you is replace the old with new, fix what you can fix, let go of the past, and always remember that everything happens for a reason.

How To Filter Your Facebook Chat List
Facebook has recently changed its chat interface to allow more selective filtering. Still, there are details to which you should pay attention, lest you accidentally reveal yourself to the very people from whom you’re trying to hide.
Facebook lets you use its Friend Lists feature to set who can see you when you’re online. When you pop open the chat window, by clicking the Chat tab nestled at the lower right of the page, it shows you which of your friends are also signed into chat. Look at the top of this list. You’ll see a list of your Friend Lists, if you’ve created any, plus another entry, Other Friends.
To hide from specific members, go to your Facebook home page. Click Friends in the upper left corner. Facebook will show a list of all your friends. In the upper right of the page is a button, “+ Create a List.” Click that. Facebook will pop up a dialog box that lets you select specific friends, either by clicking their profile images or by typing names into a search box. Add the people you don’t want to see you, and give the list a name, for example Hide on Chat. Click the Create List button to save it.
Then, go back to the Chat window and click Go Offline, then Go Online. Your new list will appear at the top of your list of visible friends. To the right of its name there’s an icon that represents a toggle switch from some electronic gadget. Mouse over it, and up will pop a label that says Go Offline. Click the toggle – you can’t drag it as if it were a real switch – and Facebook will hide you from the friends on your Hide on Chat list.
But there’s a trick: If you have a friend on two lists, one of which is set to online and the other set to offline, Facebook will make you online for that friend. To hide from them, you’ll need to either remove them from any lists you make visible, or to turn those other lists off as well.
cheers!

Misconceived Notions
So I was on the Twitterbox this morning, and a friend tweeted how she thought most dudes aren't romantic, bla bla bla. Now I'm not gonna lie, this friend is always complaining about something, but she isn't the only one saying this apparently.
Here's my main gripe with this sentiment. Women don't want us to be romantic all the time. In fact, they don't want us to be romantic at all. "You're not being romantic" is code for "YOU'RE NOT PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION TO ME." (Yes they yell that in their heads, and 200 percent of the readers just posted comments attacking this statement while yelling something similar in their heads.) Observe.
This is how the day usually goes, from what I can observe:
Boy: Hello sweetheart how are you today? What's up? What are you up to tonight?
Girl: HEYYY!! How are youuuuuuu?? Wala nothing much. Was thinking of going to the salon. I don't know, I don't like my hair. I was thinking of doing (this) to it. What do you think?
This is a trap question. First of, you should always agree with what she wants to do to the hair, because its decided anyway. Secondly, and this is important, COMPLIMENT THE CURRENT STATE OF HER HAIR.
Anyway, let's continue. After 45 minutes of her talking about her hair, complaining about her friends/family, and random unintelligible topics that have no doubt been tuned out by my ADHD brain, she asks me what I'm gonna do.
Boy: Oh nothing. Gym for a while, might catch up with my friends, then to the dowaneya.
Girl: (interjecting) Oh yeah, what's today? Saturday? Doesn't BARCELONA play today? (She's trying to act cute, care about stuff you care about, but its again, another trap.)
Boy: Wala mashala 3alaich mtab3aa. Yeah their game is at 10.
Girl: Awww so I'm not gonna talk to you then huh? (Again, trap.)
This is what's going on in my head at this moment. "Well, you can. But I'd rather you not because you know I'm a nervous ninny who is gonna be yelling at the TV unless we have a 3 goal lead at halftime. (This is true. Watching games with me is a trip and a half.)"
What I say: "Don't worry you can always find me."
This is code for, sure, text, BBM, whatever- JUST DON'T CALL. I'm at the dowaneya, A, and B, it's Barca. I've been a fan longer than I've known you, and I don't make a fuss out of you not calling when you're with friends and / or watching a TV show. I understand ME time.
Sure enough, we're texting during the day, BBM, whatever. But still, no call. When does the call come in? If you guessed 10:10, you win a prize. This is where it gets tricky.
Do you pick up, tell her your team is playing and that you'll call her back? You can do that. Do you not pick up and call her back after the game, making sure to text her as to why? You can do that too. However, when you do talk, after the elation/sorrow of a win or loss, you gonna get got, son.
She will unload about how you don't pay her any mind, don't pay any attention to her, and finally, how you're not being romantic.
Well, if you're gonna be like that, how can I be?
Note: This is a hypothetical situation. I don't really know this girl. This is a stereotype.
