Obesity in Kuwait

During my time in college I was asked to prepare a video in the manage projects unit. The first thing that came to my mind was obesity. I suffer from being a bit fat. I used to weigh 127 KG back in high school due to being sad of personal problems that took place in my life. This has changed as gradually I have lost weight ... 27KG to be exact. I am still obese and Kuwait has a problem with obesity. It has been covered in many blogs: here, here, here, here, here, here, here and the thing goes on and on and on. I cannot talk about loosing weight as it is hard. Well I can suggest that dieting works or that there are these operations but they're all not good ... easy but not good.

My opinion is to do this. Eat healthy meals breakfast, lunch and dinner with small snacks in between. Spend some time walking with your tunes in hand. I know it sounds like nothing and some might say it doesn't work I tried it. Well if you're committed then you will loose your weight just focus and set easy to achieve goals in life.

Ok now back to the video project. As many of you know, obesity is caused from a lack of exercise and to add to that the variety of junk food available in Kuwait makes it a recipe for disaster. The film below is a 6 minute video with yours truly and my group of friends educating people one of the main results of obesity: Death!

Please note the video was our first ever creation and thus it is amateurishly done.

Stick with ONE

So recently read Expat and the City about having a second, third or fourth wife. I thought that it wasn't a big deal as it is allowed in Islam for a man to marry another woman under certain specification of course. Then I read this recently in Arab Times:

Man comes home to wife and in an intimate moment she takes out a knife and stabs him in the shoulder :/

KUWAIT CITY, July 11: A case of murder attempt has been filed against a Kuwaiti woman after she allegedly stabbed her husband with a knife following reports he had married another woman, reports Al-Shahed daily.
In his complaint to the Jabriya Police Station the husband said his wife stabbed him in the shoulder and that he managed to escape from her.

A police source when the husband arrived at the police station clutching his hand blood dripping from his shirt, fainted at the entrance and he was rushed to the Mubarak Al-Kabir Hospital.

The wife will be summoned for interrogation.

I was shocked but then I remembered that I heard a similar story before. As a guy I would recommend most men to communicate with your spouse before getting into trouble. Don't you want to live a peaceful life, stress free?? And as you own one heart it is clear you can only truly love one woman. I am still trying to think about how she could have stabbed him that way. She must have been really mad to be the last one to have found out.

Something to do: Jet Ski

 Jet Skiing is something very fascinating to do in Kuwait. I admit i cannot swim but I enjoyed going to the sea with my buddies on the jet ski. (Although at one point I somersaulted three times in the air and landed in the sea :p) Damn it's hard to get back on the thing when you're out of breath, heavy and tired but you can do it.

The Good

• You're having fun with your mates and you don't feel the time pass by.
• You get the tan you wish if that's what you want (Use Bananaboat)
• Did I mention it is extremely fun if the weather is right.
• Doing something different for a change that isn't as boring.
  Just a note: Keep your life jacket on at all times! If the coast guards see you without one you could get fined

 
The Bad

• If you're a girl you'd expect to be chased by guys (not me but others)
• The sea isn't as clean as it should be
• Keep in the sea and take caution when close to the shallow areas.
• Don't go alone, rather go with a group of friends
• Wear something to protect your eyes (sunglasses/goggles)
• Protect yourself from the sun-rays (Sun Block)

Overall
With all my experiences I would say that I will do it again and again just not as crazy the next time. As you know Kuwait is known for being on sex steroids. I have heard stories where guys take the gals on the jet ski and have intercourse with them in the middle of the sea where no one can say anything. So women please be careful.

Just some other pictures to go with the topic that I find very humorous:

I am unsure if this is in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi or Oman but it is a fully covered woman on a jet ski. How awesome is that.

Honestly mate I like where your head is at.

Other water entertainment though I think this is fake.

A day to be remembered

So today is Friday. I was going to take today off and post tomorrow but I just had such an interesting day today that I wanted to share what happened. So I was on my way to the graveyard as usual when I found a guy who was stuck in the sand. I asked him if he needed assistance as he was deep inside and no one else was around. I remembered that recently I went to the desert and got stuck and it is a scary experience especially when you're alone. I will post about the desert later and my trip to the north later. Well from what I remembered, it is important not to dig yourself too deep inside the sand. So with the help of my brother we started to dig the tires out of the sand and pushing the car out and success at last. The man was grateful for the help. It is a great feeling to finally help someone but I regret I didn't take any pictures of the process :p

I checked Google Images to find a decent image for this post but to my surprise I found these:





Bentley Continental stuck in Desert Sands

Bentley Flying Spur Stuck in the Sand

Pink Range Rover stuck in the Saudi Desert

The picture of a Rolls-Royce stuck in the desert is something unique and extraordinary though

London in Summer

Anyone going to London during this time will most likely see this on the streets.

Enjoy :p

Danger In Driving

Well the year started off with a bang in the wrong direction. My brother met up in an accident, long story short ... he is lucky.
