New strong earthquake hits Haiti

Less than an hour ago, another earthquake measuring 6.1 hit Haiti only a week after the big 7.2 quake!!

Again the easiest and quickest way to do your bit and donate to the victims through Unicef or many other organization using google’s crisis response page -

Google crisis response

I really hope we hear about more donations from our country (donated $1mil), something closer to our $500 million donation to hurricane Katrina, which is nothing compared to this crisis!!

Let’s not think politics or PR or religion on this …. Just think about these poor human beings who are losing everything in their lives!

مأساة زلزال هايتي … 200,000 قتيل

زلزال بقوة 7.2 بمقياس ريختر ضرب أفقر دولة في القارات الأمريكية و إحدى أفقر الدول في العالم قبل أسبوع تقريبا

الدمار الشامل في الجزيرة حصد 200,000 قتيل إلى الآن و التوقعات تشير بأن العدد سيتجاوز ذلك بكثير

أسوأ كارثة إنسانية في تاريخ الأمم المتحدة منذ انشائها

الكويت تبرعت بمليون دولار …

يعني دولة من أغنى دول العالم تبرعت بـ 286,500 دينار

أستونيا و غيانا و اندونيسيا و المغرب تبرعوا بنفس المبلغ …. ثلاثة من الدول الأربعة دخل الفرد فيها لا يصل إلى 5% من دخل الفرد في الكويت

براد بيت و أنجلينا جولي تبرعوا بنفس المبلغ

عارضة الأزياء جيزيل تبرعت بـ 1.5 مليون!!

معقولة؟! الكويت التي كانت من أكثر الدول عطاءا و مستعدة للإغاثة تكون بهالمستوى؟؟؟

و اللوم أيضا على الشركات في القطاع الخاص .. و لا حركة أو كلمة! الشركة الوحيدة اللي قرأت أنها تحركت و لو بشكل عفوي هي مكتب KEO الهندسي. موظفي الشركة تبرعوا بـ 64,000 دولار.

فقدنا الإنسانية في الكويت، و لا أعني بشكل فردي بل كمجتمع.

وين اللي “فزعوا” للقروض؟؟ عشان تطيحون فوائد القروض وقفتوا البلد سنتين … و أكبر كارثة إنسانية ما سمعنا ولا كلمة

أفضل وسيلة للتبرع – صفحة غوغل للإغاثة

التسجيل للتمكن من التبرع لليونيسيف يأخذ بالضبط دقيقتان ، سهل جدا و مهم جدا.

ممكن إنقاذ أكثر من حياة بدقيقتين.

One more time

Another year, another look.

Feedback would be appreciated.

Just to test this new look, I’m attaching a pic I took yesterday from the office of our lovely view. As you see, pollution will kill us all soon.

Have a wonderful day :)

Last few weeks + RATM

Once again, thanks everyone for your kind words and warnings below!

So much has happened since my last post and I have been wanting to write something every few days but then get too busy/lazy to post. A quick recap of what I missed and my thoughts -

1. Parliament stuff … istijwabats (jam3 istijwab) galore! I really wanted to write something about that earlier, but to be totally honest I got extremely discouraged after reading most other blogs. There is a very weird one sided herd mentality attitude which makes you think about how connected all the blogs are.

To summarize, I am against 95% of what i read. Nothing is black or white, everything is one shade of gray or another. This “you are either with us or against us” mentality is ridiculous. Everyone seems to be forgetting the big picture and using a microscope to find one decision or idea or vote that doesn’t suit then to go on a full blooded attack on that person ignoring the ‘big picture’. Anyway I can write a full post on that but I really don’t feel like it. If you got my point, great, if you don’t, great!

2. Copenhagen – FAIL. Such high hopes, no output. Never did we need to find a solution on emissions cuts than we do now, but the only result from the meeting was that we saw a big gap widening between industrialized and developing nations in terms of understanding.

3. Abo Zaid – Nothing new here. The guy doesn’t think exactly like us! We disagree with him! Boooo!! Lets keep our small perfect society with its small perfect thoughts intact, kick him out! Silly, and most probably backfired giving him and his opinions sooo much more attention that if he actually attended the nadwa. I never heard of him before, now I know more about him. Good to see that happen. Thanks Big Brother :)

4. Abu Dhabi saves Dubai – My friend went to Dubai this past weekend and said that the place was full of pictures of the UAE ruler holding Dubai ruler’s hands. awwwwwww … how sweet :) Now let’s all say it together : “Who’s Yo Daddy?”

5. RATM – This is actually what got me to finally write a post! Despite all the important stuff, I was only tempted to write when this somewhat significant thing happened. For the past four years, the X-factor (UK version of American Idol) has always had the No. 1 song in the Christmas charts in the UK. They would easily win it and it somewhat became too predictable. Whoever was the next manufactured star would top the charts automatically. So, a few weeks ago, a small group of people started a facebook group called “Rage Against the Machine for Christmas No.1″. The song is called “Killing In The Name Of” and is probably the most Un-Christmasy song ever. It’s a protest song which is 17 years old from 1992.  A perfect song to fight off the pop culture manufactured X-Factor songs. It was actually competing against a Miley Cyrus song from a contestant on the show.

Anyway, the battle went on for a while on facebook and twitter and other social media and slowly got attention of mainstream media and the group has almost 1 million members. At the end of the day, “Killing in the Name of” actually won the Christmas race with 500,000 purchases compared to 450,000 for X-Factor!!

Once again the power of social media is shown at full force, and the story has many more positives other than the obvious “power to the people” anti-corporate media spin. Alot of the money made from the purchase of the song will go to a charity for British children hospitals, and to top it all off, RATM promised that if they won the race, they would perform a free concert in London in 2010 to celebrate in what they call “the victory party to end all victory parties”!

Power to the people!

رياضتنا و رياضتهم

يوم الأربعاء اللي فات كان يوم حاسم في كرة القدم يحدد كل المتأهلين لكأس العالم من خلال المباريات الفاصلة

أهم مباراتين و أكثر مباراتين أخذوا اهتمام إعلامي لأسباب كروية و غير كروية هم مباراة مصر و الجزائر و مباراة فرنسا و ايرلندا

فرنسا – ايرلندا : تأهلت فرنسا بعد هدف في الوقت الإضافي من لمسة يد واضحة

يعني غش و قرار حكم سيء حرم ايرلندا من الوصول لكأس العالم

شنو ردة الفعل؟

احتجاج على اللي صار و طلب إعادة المباراة و الفيفا رفضت … و بس

مصر – الجزائر: الجزائر فازت 1-0 و لعبوا تكتيكيا أفضل من مصر و مباراة نظيفة و يستاهلون الفوز

شنو صار؟

14 قتيل و و 250 جريح باحتفالات الجزائر

35 جريح في مصر بعد اشتباكات مع قوات الأمن عند السفارة الجزائرية

مصر تستدعي السفير السوداني

سحب السفير المصري من الجزائر

علاء مبارك يتفلسف و يقول كلام ماله داعي
