Sometimes I wonder how people can change in a split second….

 

 

 

I don’t see or feel that I have changed at all in personality except for the things that supposed to change in life as you grow older. I don’t like people (guys mostly) that still act and talk same as they did when we were teens, and let’s not forget following those chicks on the street or malls. GROW UP my friends I am asking you in front of the “world”. I know someone my age still acts and talks the same and someone younger talks and acts as if he\she is in their 30’s.

This post isn’t about these people it’s about me of course. Sometimes I think I changed and sometimes I don’t sometime I just want to be a kid and play in the park. When I talk all grown up I get so proud of myself then chick boom my family makes fun of me. Being the 5^th kid out of 7 you kinda get lost in those convos they have and no one listens to you so what choice do I have other then yelling my point across and they think I’m yelling at them.

I thought by the time I’m this age I would be totally different, I thought maybe something inside of me will change not only the outside (even though I still look 12 on the outside). What can I do to change ME? I don’t want to be all work all the time, I want something else something I can call MINE….

MINE!!!

That will never happen for me… I must always share or learn to let go.

Set it free if it comes back it belongs to you…. YEAH RIGHT !!! Bunch of Bull….

Adoption At First….. Single Life Second

As a Muslim single Kuwaiti chick I cannot adopt a child, according to a friend the law says and religion that I should be married to consider adoption the only thing I can do is pay for the Childs education and expenses nothing more than that. Recently I have been looking into this adoption “thing” I thought since marriage is never going to be on the table why not adopt plan fails no husband no babies.

I’m the type of person that loves the work I do and don’t think any man would like my working hours so my plan was until I found out about the law; was to adopt one make myself happy,  second an orphan gets a family and most of all my mom stops harassing me.  I don’t want the hassle of marriage but I do want a child, I know in our religion we can have one without the other a girl can hope for change.

As I am writing this I was Googling adoption and orphanages in Kuwait and if anyone is trying to do something about it. I only can across one Bibi Al Ayoub her number was listed but couldn’t get a hold of her. Since I can’t adopt I want to help in any way I can volunteering I guess is something.

I’m the type of person that didn’t care about anything but me, myself and I until my niece came along and the love I have for her and the love she has for me made me question past decisions about marriage and made me think maybe I’m wrong maybe I made a mistake than I see how much I love my so called “life” I think “oh well! If it’s meant to be it will be” I guess women my age think differently and live differently and the ones like me have enough on their plates from their mothers and gossip about our life choices. That my friends; is the life a late 20’s early 30’2 single Chica living in the Arab world. What fun and love we have?

Let’s go and enjoy our career lives, there should be a club for us.

That would just make us simply LOSERS!!!

 

Good Day!!

Questions???

 

Sometimes trying to write when angry is like talking in a different language to me, I guess because of vent out on something bothering me or something I don’t agree with makes me talk none stop and for anyone reading it wouldn’t make any sense. So I will write this post in question form.

1. Why is it when your with someone everyone wants to be with you and when your alone no one is to be seen?
2. What happens to a person once they have nothing left to do or care about?
3. Why is it ok for people to ignore someone feeling but when you ignore them they hate you for it?
4. How come it’s easy to say “move forward” yet it’s so difficult to do so?
5. How come we can’t have what we wish for? Or anything close to that.
6. How come when you see someone that you think will light your life ends up just making it pitch black?
7. Why do we do the things we do? Even though we may know the outcome
8. How come I drink so much coffee?
9. Why do we drink coffee?
10. Food?
11. Clothes?
12. Shoes?
13. Shoes?
14. Work?
15. LIFE???

I guess I’m done I got lost track after coffee, but hey great questions after though. Shoes? 

Business Trips

Let’s start by saying “it’s not as fun as you may think”.

With that said, it will explain the post. My job allows me to go on business trips at least once a month, it was my dream to have a job that allows me to travel I thought that would be awesome I will get to see the world on the company’s  account turns out it’s not as glamorous as I expected.  My friend told me I’m so lucky I get to travel all the time, not knowing that instead of putting 110% in your day-to-day work on a business trip you will put 110%X10 effort in finishing one simple task because you’re not home you don’t know where things are, how to get things done and who to call for assistants. Not only its takes a lot out of you but at the same time you don’t really eat, and food is extremely important in my like, first comes food then everything else. Last months I was home only for 7 days, a week, I lost 4kg and I’m already really really thin it’s not good for my health.

The advantage thou is the best experience in your career do to the extra effort and the people you meet that actually teach you something with a simple conversation, whether it’s about the business or the country itself. I love going to a place I never been it amazes me and when going to a country I have been there before and I get to see the change that happens over the years.

The last business trip was to Dubai and having that I lived there for 10 years and knowing how fast it changes it really didn’t surprise me seeing that a new area has been developed fully built, a village. I lived there for 10 years I drive on the same road to work/University and every day a new building pops up somehow. Well that’s Dubai and living in Dubai for so long nothing that state does surprises me or anyone in fact, we all know what “Dubai” is capable of.

This is my writing, writing about a business trip than turns into marketing Dubai. Well than go on and visit Dubai tell them MzGafsha sent you.

Now back to business if anyone has any tips that can ease my next business trip (s) please let me know because I can’t loose another 4kg there isn’t any left in me. 

My Little Weekend

With this broken toe I thought I’ll get away with running errands and driving all over Kuwait, but of course I was wrong to even think I could be off my feet for 4 days let alone 1 day. I thought it would be the same when I broke my arm I had people driving me around, feeding me, helping me get dressed and feeding me I know I said that twice but I was pampered. I guess with a broken toe you can do everything on your own 😦

I traveled to Dubai with a broken toe assuming I’ll get some sort of treatment at the airport but again I was wrong all I got was that I didn’t wait in line at the passport control and the airport car drove me to the gate I guess I did get a special treatment. I was wrong once again.

At the airport there was this family I’m sure it was their first time ever traveling because the girl asked her father when we come back to Kuwait do we also have to pay for a ticket we are coming back home? She did have a point there. Anyways the son was my problem all he wanted to do was eat everything on the flight, and out of all the seats he sat behind me I yelled at him and his father more than I can count but nothing the kid was simply annoying. I fell asleep and suddenly something woke me up to my surprise that damn kid has come to sit next to me and get this he put my bag on the floor and actually was lying down with his nasty feet very close to me so I turn to the father and tell him off again and the mother comes and switches seats. I was so angry the whole flight to Dubai.

When we got on the bus that damn kid again comes next to me and he steps on my broken toe so naturally the meanness and angry me comes out I started yelling and swearing in English which they didn’t understand and his parents did nothing absolutely nothing. These people shouldn’t be allowed to have kids.

In Dubai all I did was lie down on the couch and watch all my shows CSI, CSI NY, White Collar, Switched at Birth, Modern Family, Suites and Happy Endings. 4 days to watch all the episodes of the last seasons on Showtime it was a nice relaxing weekend for me I didn’t want to go anywhere or do anything and my plan worked perfectly.

Anyways the broken toe got me nothing expects endless pain and no shoes to wear. “If the shoe don’t fit the crime don’t fit” OJ Simpsons trial famous quote I just used shoes instead of glove.

My Next Step

I’m trying to find a list of wedding planners.

So far I only found Wael Al Humaidhi, I want to find the ones with website with a portfolio not and Instagram account or a Facebook page. I’m looking for the well put together company website and all the perks of owning your dream. I don’t want to promote anyone at all but I want to see how these planners made it maybe meet one of them (other than my boss) and see how they made it to where they are now.

 

One day I’ll own my own Event planning/management firm, this is why I want to learn and see how these planners did it. Did they start with no money or with all the money in their bank account or did daddy pay for it, I’m not trying to be rude or anything but I know people move on in the world and get what they want from daddy or mommy sometimes.

 I don’t want to be a wedding planner I enjoy corporate events, galas, birthday parties, baby showers and maybe a bachelorette party will have that on my job description when I plan my friends bachelorette party, engagement parties also would be on the list any sort of events other than weddings I do not want to be anywhere near a bride on the planning a wedding “bridezilla much”. I have done more than 10 events but no one knows who I am since I’ve only done events for companies and friends parties.

 So let’s start getting my name out there, how do we do that? How and where do I start?

I know I have to start making a portfolio for myself with pictures of the events I have done and all the media coverage and than what’s the next step? A name for myself other than my own name, a name people will know for me so when one day I have my firm up and running I’ll be using the same name

1. Gafsha Events
2. Sisters Events
3. Jude Events (my niece because I love her so much)
4. SAS Events – I kinda love this. My initials and my logo would be a finger snap.

 

I think SAS Events is perfect, what do you my beloved readers think?

All You Will Ever Need

 

In an old post I have shown you the vintage TV, Radio and Sewing machine. I didn’t know where to find all of these awesome stuff but today as I was going through Twitter I read something about Etsy a website for vintage clothes so I decided to have a look and what ya’know I found what I’ve been looking for.

This website has from baby clothes to men’s clothes from vintage cameras to new cameras anything you can imagine they have it even cool painting and sculptures. And you can always put things for sale. I have checked if there is anything in Kuwait but seems to me no one knows about it here let’s start buying and sell awesome and cool stuff right here at home.

The first thing I’m going to order is the vintage camera and TV.

Ladies they also have vintage wedding dresses and engagement ring get moving.

Here is the link:

Off To Bahrain

What’s up Kuwait?

So my mom and I are going to Bahrain in about an hour our flight leaves, I love Bahrain we went their once we had lots of funny I don’t think I’ve ever laughed that much with my parents. I guess when you take them out if their own elements they become different people I think that happens to all of us. Sometimes we need that moment to relax and let go not only to relax our minds and body but to actually stopping and enjoying the moment you just experienced and that’s what we need in this trip all the above.

Let’s hope we truly do enjoy this and forget a bit of what’s happening at home for at least one day..

Bon Voyage…

Life Changes

So as the title implies my life has changed we have recently moved back to Kuwait it’s been about 3 months now. Everything is going great but of course when you have a life changing movement their must be a bad situation or feeling that would make you question the dissuasion you have made and making my mother agree to what I wanted. I’m happy in Kuwait but of course their has to be a but, I see lots of difference between living here and in Dubai which are not major nor do they make me wish I never came here. I don’t regret moving back to Kuwait at least being here I get to see my sisters baby girl Jude grow up.

The difference I see is not in my house but in Kuwait in general. Seriously what’s up with no gas station I swear from my sisters house AlQurain to our house in Saad AlAbdulla there is only 1 or 2 gas station, if this was Dubai in the same distance you will find at least 5 or 6.
That’s one the second thing is the way people dress I was actually noticed by 3 people at the Avenues that I was not from Kuwait because I wasn’t dressed to go to a wedding instead of a mall all bright and shinny and full on make-up and high heels. Seriously what’s up with shopping and wearing heels when the way they walk is like someone just broke your legs. I wear flats t-shirt and jeans that’s how you should go when you shop isn’t it.
Third why do guys here if a girl ignores them they get pissed and offensive as if it was his right that this chick MUST take the number and call him otherwise he says something bad to make her angry or upset, well maybe not because I guess all the girl here are used to this in Dubai the guy just walks away.

Just like theirs things I don’t like and are different to me their are many that I love, I love Kuwait no matter what it’s my home at the end of the day. Wait one more thing I hate that we still don’t have a street number I can’t order food without having to wait 2 hours than I would have to go out to show the driver the way the reason I ordered is so I don’t have to leave the house.

I guess in time I will be used to Kuwait I don’t miss Dubai at all not yet at least.

My dear fellow Kuwait readers please give me tips on how to be part of my home my country..

I am back to blogging for good inshallah.
