Book Review: Mirror Image

Sandra Brown is as always, my favorite author of all time & she never disappoints! She masters the genre of “Thriller romance”. It’s what I love the most, a ,lil bit of romance with some thriller! What can keep me away from the book? NOTHING!

Avery Daniels, a TV face got mixed up with the wife of a powerful politician running for senate Tate Rutledge! Avery didn’t have anything in her hands to do, she was given the face of Mrs. Carole Rutledge after she has suffered massive injuries in her face from a plane crash!

At the hospital, in the ICU. Someone visits her & tell her to not open her mouth because their plan stands & Tate will be dead on the Election day. Through her recovery, Avery falls in love with Tate, she wants to stay Mrs. Rutledge to know who is trying to kill Tate so she can save him & in the sametime, a breakthrough story has presented itself to her.

All the characters in the novel were very important from my opinion, no one seemed shallow or not important. The plot was beautifully written, there wasn’t a page I skipped nor felt bored reading it. It was a page turner actually. And the ending wasn’t expected at all. It really shocked me! You do doubt 1 or 2 characters (one of them is the killer) but then ending is really unexpected!

I love you Sandra Brown.

Making My Own Darra3a

I’m not a “darra3a” person. I don’t wear it all except in Ramadan & it started 3 years ago because of gatherings & gerge’an parties! And to be honest, these days, girls who are selling darra3as in exhibitions are very very exaggerating in their prices! Like why do I have to pay KD 150/200 for a darra3a that I’ll wear once or twice? WHY y3ni? Okay I get it it’s hectic, the prices of fabrics are not cheap and so but it doesn’t make sense!!

Above is a picture of the fabric I’ve purchased recently & it was around KD 22/- add the tailors fee, it might reach around KD 15/20. So the total of one darra3a will be between KD 40/45 (depending on the fabric ofcourse). Now if they’d sell it for KD 80 or 90, or even 100 it would be somehow reasonable because they want to profit from their hard work! But to exceed that limit in an unreasonable way, then that’s just too much!

I was talking about the fabrics bought from Kuwait. But if the fabric was bought from abroad then okay, i can understand if the prices were over!

So, with me buying my own fabric & dealing with my own tailor. i saved around KD 50 or something like that! Beside, I might turn out to be a huge oval ball in July, I decided to do my own darra3a so that it will be adjustable when I reach that stage. & most importantly COMFY :)

The Sight of Real Books

*sigh*

Nothing can beat the sight or the touch of real books! I haven’t been seduced to ebooks & never well coz they’re very very harmful! You might see them as very useful but to me ebooks are pure evil & they’re ruining the real essence of books. The paper, the smell of an un-opened book! How can someone ignore it & just go to ebooks because it’s easy to handle or use or because you can get books faster? The wait for such package is totally worth it!

Damn you ebooks … I hope you die soon nshallah!

Fursa Q8 Summer Internship

“ Fursa is a non-profit Kuwaiti startup company determined to change Kuwait. In our first project we are striving to remove the stigma Kuwaiti youth have upon them, that they’re a consumer society. So we started Fursa’s summer internship program. We give our willing youth from the ages of 16 to 27 years a chance to work at Kuwaiti owned and managed businesses, to help give them an idea of how it feels to work in the private sector as well as learn what it needs to start their own business one day. The internship is a paid one (with a maximum amount of 100kd) and includes an intensive interview with a certified psycologist from the Kuwait Counseling Center as well as pre work training about work ethics, time management and professionalism.”

Here & There-Singapore

This is the last post about my trip to Singapore last year. I’ve gathered some random pictures I’ve taken around the country & put them for you all in one post to enjoy.

Singapore is a very small country, one week will be more than enough to see everything & enjoy your time there. We stayed 11 days there & kinda felt bored at the end. So don’t stay more than 7 days. Pass by Kuala Lumpur or Bali if you want, they’re very near.

Enjoy the pictures :D

Smooth Pregnancy

It’s very rare I guess for a pregnant woman to have a smooth pregnancy but fortunately, I’m one of those lucky ones (El7mdellah). As I am in my 5th month, everything is going very smoothly & perfectly. I never vomited nor had low blood pressure or any kind of bad symptoms pregnant women suffer from. To be honest, I’m only suffering from severe heartburn which is annoying me alot, but I’m taking medicines which only help for one hour or so ;) but all is good el7mdellah!

Let’s see how it all started. I remember I used to wake up early February feeling nauseated & dizzy. & I fell twice or 3 times, one time my husband was able to catch me LOL but others, well you don’t wanna know if I banged my head on the kitchen cabinet or on the wall :P After a couple of weeks I knew I was pregnant yeeeppppeee :) The attack on the kitchen specially the fridge started immediately. I’d literary egt hungry every 2 hours or so, I couldn’t help myself but eat & keep on eating til I couldn’t breath. The scenario would be repeated every 2 hrs & so on :P After that, the craving started to cease a bit, I’m back to my normal eating & I’m not hungry all the time. Pregnant women are known to have weird cravings but til now, I haven’t craved anything weird, except for burgers in the middle of the night or white rice with yogurt & ma3booch every now & then :)

My mood swings are very stable except the first couple of months when i used to cry like a lunatic for no reason. I’d open the window to enjoy the beautiful breeze of Mars & booom, tears are rolling down. I’d drive my car crying all the time. I see my husband’s face & I cry. I was very depressed & sad. I spent the 1st months crying, I doubt I have any tears left right now :P But thank god everything stopped in the beginning of the 4th month & I became very happy & excited. I didn’t have one of these pregnancy madness, screaming at people or my husband or anything, I’m actually very serene & peaceful :D

I spent my whole time sleeping & I’m still sleeping all the time, good thing I don’t have a job right now or else I’d have slept on my desk & wouldn’t care if my manager saw me or not. When the sleeping bug hits you, you can’t control it. Although, I’m feeling very active & super healthy these days, that sometimes i wish i had a job to enjoy my time but what can I do? I guess I’m gonna have to enjoy my pregnancy at home & then motherhood ;)

My belly is still not showing, even though I expected it to show because I’m not skinny or anything. Sometimes, i doubt that I’m pregnant but when I look at my sonogram photos, I assure myself that I’m pregnant for real :P I dunno how’s the baby growing or how big he/she is, but it’s def not showing! Still :)

Boy or Girl? I still have no idea, will know nshallah next week. Will keep you posted :D

Book Review: It Happened One Autumn

Can I say that this book gave alot of laughs? Lisa Kleypas is an awesome author, some writers can’t make it in sequels! I mean, the 1st book interests you but then the 2nd & the 3rd will dull you but not with Mrs. Klepas. The 2nd book of the Wallflowers series was hilarious. The Bowman sisters are really funny & witty, not to mention the countess hehe :)

Although it’s very predictable but fun to read & know how Lillian & Marcus will end up together. St. Vincent is an interesting character that we get introduced to in this 2nd book & I believe he’ll be the hero in the 3rd book. Looking forward to that because he was somehow evil in this book, so I dunno how he’ll be the hero in the 3rd book. That shall be interesting!

The characters are the same & still have their own characteristics. The plot is also the same (catching a peer) but with a different twist.

Bothroos In Da House

Many of you may wonder who’s this fella? & why is he called “bothroos”? Well, it’s very obvious that he has huge teeth coming out of his mouth :P This lovely cute doll belongs to our lovely blogger Alnoury. She started taking him every where with her & then, she created an instagram page  for him for people to enjoy his advenyures & “gezzing” :P

On Friday, Bothroos visited me & spent the whole day with me :D he was really tiny & cute hehe! I introduced him to my husband who didn’t like him & said he looks scary lol :P he even thought his existence affected my attitude haha :D

Anyways, so i was fasting & decided to take him with me to have Futoor outside at Cuts-Movenpick. He really enjoyed his time, having dinner with me & then walking in the hallway trying to knock on the doors of the hotel rooms :P such a naughty doll ;)

If you have instagram follow him & you’ll have fun watching his pictures here & there; @bothroos
