Moody's downgrades three Kuwait banks for weak credit




LINK

Have you seen this covered anywhere else in our local media ?

Why when there is BAD news, almost no body covers them ??

How many bad things are happening and no body are talking about ??

Hiding bad news will have a devastating effect on us getting out of the crisis.

And it means that the crisis will be far form over even when everybody here say it is.

P.S. Now I know why the camel have stopped taking hits and started dancing .....!

Last day before Ramadhan & the Restaurants




Yesterday, I went to a shopping mall to have lunch. Most of the restaurants had their tables full and people were waiting.

This is the first time I witness the phenomena in this capacity.

Well, The restaurants should be making a lot of money on that day. And from now on they have to really prepare well for it.

And a scary thought crossed my mind ...!

With the rich people influencing almost everything around us. do you think we will see the day where rich people will try to push Ramadhan one day later to make more money selling food.

I was really terrified of that thought.

Let's keep a close eye .....

P.S. : by the way, I know most of the owners of the large restaurants in Kuwait and I know they would never even entertain anything thought this.

Wedding Tent Fire Kills more than 40



قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
كلكم راع وكلكم مسئول عن رعيته، فالإمام راع ومسئول عن رعيته، والرجل راع في أهل بيته ومسئول عن رعتيه، والمرأة راعية في بيت زوجها ومسئولة عن رعيتها، والخادم راع في مال سيده ومسئول عن رعيته، وكلكم راع ومسئول عن رعيته.

So please stop pointing fingers to one party than the other.

Every body who can take responsibility should take responsibility.

Steak Challenge : Roadster Diner , Beirut



A friend of mine took me to Roadster Diner in El Hamra , Beirut.

I ordered the T-bone steak , medium well.

It definitely better than chili's and applebees. but does not come at the top.

I liked the restaurant overall.

Its worth a try.

I give it (3/5).

Under-Walking



Today in our civilized world I think all of us don't do enough daily walking.

Simply we "under-Walk".

The doctor of a friend of mine who have lost a lot of weight told him that the body starts to burn fat after 30 minutes of walking. My frined walks for an hour daily.

This daily hour should be as important as the time we give to eat, sleep, or go to the bathroom.

You should then easily lose weight, be more fit, and don't feel tired during the day.

I remember an interview with Sean Connery where he talked about a man in a northern African country where they use to shoot a movie. This man used to carry a load on his back and walk for a long distance.

Sean used to see him on his way to the location and on his way back from the location. One day Sean asked the driver to ask the man if he would like a lift.The man thought for a minute then refused the offer. The reason he said that then he arrive early and that he does not know what to do with the rest of his day.

I guess this guy will not die from a heart attack or obesity.

Back For Lebanon




It was Hot, Crowded, and Extremely Expensive.

Electricity, water cuts are more than before.

A friend doctor of mine told me a record number of food poisoning cases occurring during this summer.

I Was there last summer and it wasn't like that.

And because its Lebanon, people are still doing business as usual and still having FUN ...!!
