Not any ordinary Human: Thinking

Well this is a strange post but something I wanted to get out of my chest. I'm no ordinary person. I have a problem. The problem is simple. I think too much. Now I know you must be going hang on a minute we all suffer from this. We just cannot switch our brains off. But wait there is more.

I suffer from over thinking things that are out of my control and yet I want to solve them. These are aspects like:

• Eliminating Poverty
• Annihilate Corruption
• Rid Slavery
• Better life

Now everyone thinks oh wow interesting but many other people think about this and talk about improving the world. Do you know I find it hard to sleep because I know that this is going on in the World. It is hard to focus knowing that someone is going through hardship in life. There is food on my plate and yet someone is starving somewhere else. How can I help them? What can I do. I love to give charity but it isn't enough and you never know where the charity goes unless you give it to the person it is destined to go to by hand. I am only 22 years old and this problem started to occur in my life when I was much younger. I think it was when I was 10 or maybe younger. I told you I'm no ordinary person but what can I do to solve this problem. I can switch off my brain but the heart is never going to be satisfied.

I get hurt a lot reading of what happens in the Kuwait let alone if I knew what happened in the World. I used to go to a blog called Kuwait Exposed where I read about everything sick you can think of. They have stopped posting but if you read it you will feel shocked or say this is not possible but these are some of the things that happen in our society. Recently I've read in the newspaper about the police officer who raped a Filipino woman and felt sick. He is put in a position where everyone should feel safe with his presence and yet some of the police (not all) take advantage of their positions. I know of very good police officers who are fed up of what is going on in Kuwait. Wasta is a big problem in Kuwait and crime goes on. It is hard to understand how this happens but it does. This is also part of this post as I hope justice is served. I have read in LWDLIK that he will be castrated but I would go with another option seen in the picture.

Help Stop Animal Cruelty in Kuwait

So last night I got an opportunity to speak to a brave and extraordinary young girl who share with me heartbreaking stories about animals. Being 18 years old and having her own problems in life she still tries her best to inform people in Kuwait that animals are living things and need to be treated with love and care.

She has seen guys running over Kittens and thinking it is funny whereas it is a sin even in Islam to harm an animal. She found out that there are causes like K'SPATH shelter, petzone and Kuwait PAWS which work on helping out animals.

This brave young lady has taken care of many animals that she has found stranded and shared a story of a kitten she found stranded on the street

... The Kitten in the picture ... Is an abandoned one from the streets ... I got him at the age of 2 weeks but now he is older ..... His mom left him in the heat for 12 hours with no milk or anything

She is a hero and an inspiration to others to show compassion to animals

I once rescued a dog from our neighbor ... It was a 3 month old puppy .. He was skinny .. And he chose me .. And I took him in but they came lookin for him so I had to give him back but then 2 weeks later the puppy ran away from them again and came to me (much more skinnier) ... And I decided I won't give him back again so I kept him and named him JACK ... Took care of him and gave him some proteins ... Vitamins food and he got chubby. Taking care of Jack is hard as I had to study as well so I gave him to my cousin for a few months ... I felt bad because my cousins neighbors hated mutts and threw Jack (GSD MIX) Off the Roof ... Jack was 6 months old at the time and fainted for half an hour. I got so pissed and yelled at my cousin ... And then again ... The neighbor killed a dog by forcing him to drink dettol ... Yeah he's an Ahole!!! He killed his own female pitbull and killed a husky by hitting him so BAD. And he tried to kill Jack but couldn't as Jack is an angel and survived being hit badly. People here don't care and I don't like that. I got Jack after he was hit .. When he saw me he barked and howled and whined and I felt bad for him but now I got a good home for him. Gave him to Americans .. And not long ago I seen them walking Jack and he was happy and healthy and I was glad I gotta chance to help. Because there are too many heartless people in this World and if not me?? I don't know when will people here speak up. This needs to be revealed and the truth must come out.

You know ... I lost my puppy and he went missing for 11 days and I didn't give up because I love him too much to give up on him ... And I found him .. After finding Igor (my puppy) I micro-chipped him and got him a new collar and a Tag which has his name and my number from behind so now I won't loose him ... I love all my pets ... Jessie (white terrier mix), Moki (the abandoned kitten), Taffy (my Siamese), Igor (my pitbull puppy) and all other animals. I am still 18 ... And I have my own problems in life ... Having problems I am still standing strong ... Helping others. My Pets keep me strong. I was saved by dogs twice .. And know I am ready to put my life in danger just to save a pet. My relatives whom I live with hate animals and yet I fight SUPER HARD for them. They are the ones keeping me happy, safe and alive all of them. I have rescued 1 angora bunny, and my pets are 2 fish 2 cats 2 dogs and soon I'm getting 2 mice.

This little girl is such an inspiration and amazing to say the least. Most 18 year olds aren't as matured as she is. It is true that many people in Kuwait are ignorant but there are some who have tried to increase awareness as to what is happening. LWDLIK, AGW, DG and bananaq8 are some examples and there are many more. I was actually looking for one in specific but cannot seem to find it. Oh well this will do for now. I wish her the best of luck and I want to help her out as best as I can :)

Update: The story continues as the brave girl would also like to share the videos she made :)

Missing

The Reunion

Edited: Monday 24th September 2012, 1:09 pm

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.

Curiosity

I have been curious about a mystery in college that puzzles me until today. Having spent 4 years in college I never expected to find this on my car:

Yes you got it right. A NOTE :O lodged under the flap that opens the door. I was shocked and yet intrigued that someone fancied me in college. I wanted to know who? where? how? what? ME?

I am not a guy that sticks out in public or someone a woman would look at and feel like she would find me interesting. In this World these days looks count for everything and that is something I don't have. (I have been called cute and handsome but that's just friends trying to bring my moral up).

Well unfortunately this note is an investigation case that I can't seem to close up. I have had it analyzed by a friend and he thinks it's a prank one of my friends are playing (97% male) and that the person who wrote it is left handed. Oh wait I think I might know who it is? :O No it can't be ... I asked him :(

Anywayz, this note is going into my box of memorabilia of things that I have collected that are private and personal (I used to be a kid once and heck yeah in love like crazy but it never works out and why get hurt or hurt someone else?).

How would you go by finding out who it is? What would you do?

Inpiration is back on track

I remember the day when I read this post on 965malls blog and was told to email my number and possibly get a chance to meet the blogger. Well that day came by so quickly and it was a great day indeed. The location was at Nestle Marina Mall for coffee and we both arrived at the same time. Usually it is difficult to socialize in Kuwait as everyone is so focused with their family and friends and their immediate circle that usually it doesn't allow mingling with others especially strangers. We aren't in the US or UK where you can meet someone at the Pub either. Work also is another factor that takes up most of our valuable time. Nowadays we spend life more on our smartphones then with people and doing what we don't rather then what makes us happy but that is for another post another day. Anyways, I was a bit nervous at first but I decided to just be myself and it turned out to be a fascinating day. Sometimes we just need to take the time and get to know the people around us literally and you never know what can happen. It was an honor and a pleasure to meet such an interesting man and to learn of the experiences he has had in life and how the experiences has made him who he is today. Well today I was ecstatic to see this:

I am very thankful to 965malls for posting this today and well the passion to do greatness is back. Talking to a few friends I made recently online has also given me some interesting posts that I have to get off my chest and up here for others to read soon I hope.


I have a lot I want to say!!! I have noticed that A LOT of expat blogs amongst the Western community in Kuwait revolve around female writers mainly Expat and the City, Desert Girl and American Girl and I must say they're inspiring in that they say what they want to without being biased by third parties. I wish to thank each and everyone of these ladies for being part of the community in Kuwait.

Expat and the City

"Adventurous, American girl living and working in Kuwait. Supporting our US Troops overseas in the Middle East. I have a sultry Southern drawl, an obsession with Café au Lait and my favorite Louisiana dish is Crawfish Étouffée. Y'all can follow my daily expat life in Kuwait and travels around the world through my Blog, Instagram and Twitter."

Desert Girl (She also covers causes on this blog)

"American semi-Kuwaiti living, working, eating, boating, and observing in Kuwait. Born in America, but raised with Kuwaitis, I get culture shock on both continents. No one understands me, but my dog, and she still gives me strange looks once in a while. I do not accept payment for advertising; I won't entertain the thought. If I think your product or service is worthy of discussion, I will post about it. If I help you, you can send me pink roses. If you are interested in reading about the Bedoun cause in Kuwait, see my posts which are tagged "Bedoun Civil Rights Movement"."

American Girl

"I’m a happily married woman who loves life and all it has to offer. I attempt to follow my dreams and embrace every experience — the good and the bad. Everything in life is a gift just sometimes in ugly wrapping. Being a ‘good’ person truly matters to me and I attempt to make positive changes every step of the way. I sometimes succeed… others not so much.

My life in the Middle East is filled with great friends, valuable people, experiences no other place on earth could offer, happiness, pain, deserts, cities, and personal growth. I’m proud to be an American, but comfortable knowing I’m capable of moving to the other side of the world and creating serenity and bonds which can never be broken.

I’m an experienced international business law and personnel advisor, focusing on cultural diversity, organizational development, legislation formation, and change management. Specializing in United States and GCC labor laws and employee rights. A training innovator and seasoned facilitator who has designed and implemented highly-recognized programs to cultivate leadership, retention, strategy provisions, communication, and problem resolution.

Keeping people fundamentally happy and gainfully employed really is my business.

My personal life and professional life go hand in hand in many ways. I love people and firmly believe we’re all equals and should be treated as such.

When I’m not getting paid to advise government entities and corporations how to implement fairness and equality in the workplace, I’m writing. It’s also my passion."

I know that there are many more bloggers out there and surely I will get to meet more unique people and read up about lives of others who are happy in their lives and I am happy for them.

P.S. I hope the bloggers mentioned above don't mind me mentioning them in this post.
