First things first, I received an sms warning about possible storms in the upcoming days and decided to share the info -

According to Mishaal AlRoomi at his website , and more specifically on his 5 day forecast -

http://www.q8weather.com/dynamicdata/5DaysForecast.aspx

There is a moderate chance of a storm on Wednesday and a relatively high chance of a storm on Thursday. So stay indoors and stay safe! Definitely avoid sea activity just in case.

Today we had our mini version of a hurricane, and I decided to call it Hurricane Sibeecha, since all hurricanes have female names!

It was a ridiculous mixture of hail, rain, wind, dust, gusts …. etc.

Check out the damage from the pictures (and the video at the bottom) -

view on Gulf Road … and yes, that is all HAIL! (بردي) and the sidewalk is flooded.

Christmas time in Mid-April Kuwait

So .. who thinks global warming or environment will be discussed at all during the elections?

Flooding inside

Elysium board on the ground

I still dont understand how that happened!

Check out the roots of the tree!

Middle of the road!

There were many many more scenes like that which I couldnt take pictures of! I saw light posts on the ground, I saw scaffolding fallen from buildings onto the roads, I saw huge billboards plucked from the ground …

I really hope not many people were hurt, and thank God we have the law against the elections signs on the roads, otherwise it could have been even more disastrous!

My production about Hurricane Sibeecha, all video clips were taken by mobile phone -

النائب السابق سعدون حماد العتيبي دعا كل قبيلة عتيبة على عشاء يقام على شرفهم و حط الإعلان صفحة أولى بجرايد أمس

أحلى شي أن “العشاء” بديوانه الكائن في صباح السالم بجانب المخفر … يعني عيني عينك

المهم … الريال لازم يعشي قبيلة كاملة … شنو تتوقعون الـ “menu”؟

تصوري يكون مشابه لعشاء العجمان ….

مشوار الرجوع للتدوين و مشوار الحرب الإعلامية

اليوم بداية حلوة لفلم الكذب و التشويه و التلميع الصحافي الذي سيتواصل لشهرين مليئين بالأكشن و الدراما و الكوميدي لكل جريدة على حسب التوجه

نبدأ

الحكم لكم

Sorry the quality isnt great, did it using paint.

Whoever did this card must have been drunk!

First of all, the name of the organization is wrong! I hope its just this card but I know I’m being overly optimistic on that.

The name of the organization is “Public Authority for Minors Affairs” according to the directory of the main e-government website (which is way better than any of the ministries). They messed up with the of/for and affair/affairs. So thats TWO mistakes in the name of the organization printed on their own business cards.

To make things worse, the guy’s title is Direczor! How?! The T isn’t even close to the Z to be a typo!

Of course, their Web.www.pama.gov.kw is also messed up.
But to be fair, this is a perfect reflection of the place and most governmental institutions in Kuwait. I have to admit its still better than the Pubic Authority of Agriculture, which was thankfully changed very soon afterwards.

On this blessed occasion of Champions League football, I have to share this excellent ad shown on ART for this year’s Champions League promotion -

I got this ad from kooora.com forum.

I would love to know which agency came up with it if anyone knows! Very cool ad! I love the taxi driver the most! lol!

I traveled to Tokyo two months ago for vacation. I loved it, and will post pictures from the trip at a later date, but for now I will just post one picture that shows that Tarzan is an international phenomenon and not limited to Kuwait!

Enjoy -

Talk about working overtime!!

I saw this last in the newspaper last week -

U gotta love their attention to detail!

I took this picture at Mubarak hospital last week, this is a part of a prayer that was posted there (the prayer was basically an ad for some shop that sells religious tapes!! But as usual a blind eye is turned on this stuff).

This graffitti religious argument is just funny -
