To a lot of people it's a day where they would shower their moms with gifts, flowers and such. That is sweet, indeed, but what about the rest of the year? Most people won't even bother to pick up the phone to check upon their moms.
But no matter what we give, it won't ever be enough.
If we just show a little more respect, then wouldn't be that the kind of love every mother deserves?
I remember watching the same story shared on the video above on a AbdulAziz Al-Mussalam series one day; I wonder what's the origin of that story...
It's wonderful regardless.
It just shows that no matter how badly you think of your mother, and how much you can never understand her (even if you have kids of your own sometimes), you can't truly see the way she cares about you, let alone ever repay here deeds.
For all those times you've kept her awake at night just for a stupid meaningless thing (mostly, just in your own eyes), remember that you hold the greatest treasure to the road to heaven.
Dear Danderma was having a special giveaway for the 20,000 comment owner...
And...
I...
WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOD!
I still can't believe it!
I'm not the type of person that usually wins free stuff! heehee
Let alone stuff that are worthy!
So, it feels so FUN!!
Thanks to Danderma for conducting such a beautiful giveaway! I wasn't anticipating winning. I wasn't even looking closely at the picture that well to begin with! When I realized that "I", Just A Bunch have really won, and I wasn't hallucinating (I was really feeling tired and needed to sleep), I went back to the site (I first saw the notification post on mobile) to check what I have won! LOOOL
Then it hit me, I was like, oh, yeah, I think I have spotted some gadget thingy going on when I first saw the special post earlier today, but I didn't really focus and it's as if I never saw what the prize is!
To be frank, I still have very little knowledge about what an Apple TV is really like! LOL All I know that it's an Apple product, related to TV, and Danderma is giving away one, so it must be great!
THANKS DANDERMA!
:D

AMAZING!
If your spirits weren't lifted; then you might not have any!
I never thought I'd watch a flash mob video that actually happened in Kuwait! We so need more of these!!
I got tears in my eyes! The patriotic songs used are my top faves! Especially "Ana Kuwaiti"! Oh my God, I used to sing this one repeatedly during the times of the liberation! :'D
3ad I was planning to go the Avenues today but I couldn't! Wish I made it, maybe I would've seen this!!! Flash mobs aren't supposed to be announced, so nobody would notify me! Hopefully one day I'll witness something like this!
Shout out to all those souls who keep spreading positivity around! You guys rock! Kuwait has faith in those who have faith in it!
NEVER lose hope!
Updates:
I shall be adding more videos as I discover them ;)
Reactions were hailing all over the place since the videos went viral! A simple search with the words "flash mob Kuwait" over Twitter would get you hundreds of tweets praising this new national celebration! Bloggosphere could not miss this too; here some links:
How's everyone doing today? Enjoying the weekend? ;D
I was flipping through TV channels last night when I stopped on MBC4. I haven't religiously watched this channel in ages. There was a new Turkish series on. I was like, "Oh, is that a new Turkish series? But the shooting feels so incredible! Perhaps, it's a movie?"
It was yet another new Turkish series. MBC4 once was my top favorite channel to watch with "only" western shows and nothing but, but now it's been smothered with Turkish drama (which I don't happen to hate, to be honest) & guess what? Arabic ones has been added to the mix too. If MBC keeps Arabizing this (once top favorite) channel, perhaps in the future, they're gonna be even dubbing those (now very few) western shows they are compromising us with & become totally like Fox. *Shudder*
Anyways, I'm not gonna be ranting about how MBC4 has changed in this post (maybe in another one), but let me talk about this new show that got me stopping in my channel-flipping.
The program info stated that it has the title of "Nesa'a Ha'erat" (or however it was written - نساء حائرات), I was like, "What is this? An Arabic drama?" Then the dubbing reached my ears & I realized it was yet another new Turkish drama. As I said, I was taken by the wonderful shooting & wondered if it was a new series or a movie. Seeing Noor brought back a fresh memory of a promo I've seen recently for a new series that was coming soon. That was it.
It took me just a few minutes to realize it. The character Songul Oden (a.k.a Noor) was playing (which I happened to have liked instantly) was non other than the beloved character of Susan Mayer played by Teri Hatcher in the popular American drama Desperate Housewives. Of course, I didn't realize it right away, I had to see this other character - who was a playful blonde who keeps throwing herself at this man Noor was trying to get close to - for the switch or realization to get turned on. I was like, "Wait a minute... This looks very much like Desperate Housewives...Is it...?!!"
And it sure was! Apparently, this is a Turkish version of the American drama!
******
Here are some pictures I snapped. Try guessing which one is who (I already told you one!)
My favorites in the American version are still my favorites in the Turkish one (so far), which pretty much tells that the acting, production, & direction is very well done (& that I mostly care about the characters).
Program starts at 9:00 KSA every Thursday night.
(For those who missed it last night, MBC4 is repeating it tonight at 6:30 KSA, or you can always watch it on Shahid.net).

So, what do you think? Do you like watching Turkish drama? Would you watch this one? What do you think of recreating (or remaking) of famous successful dramas or movies? Would you think this version will beat the original?
How lazy can one be? If You think you're lazy, think twice, you might not be as lazy as you think you are! Or, you might be just so, or even more!!
"Alarm" is the second short animated movie, by Moo-hyun Jang, a director of independent Animation team MESAI. It's a REALLY an AWESOME movie! Will get you cracking up, aaahhh-ing, & feeling frustrated all at once! You will feel the agony of waking up in the morning by the most hated device ever (in my opinion): the Alarm.
I HATE ALARMS!! I rarely use them anymore, (extreme measures only!), & watching this guy really brought back all the agonizing noise alarms make!
(Spoiler Alert!)
Hahaha! My absolute hilarious part is when he quickly shuts all three alarms & jumps back to bed, (that killed me!! XD!). I also loved the the milk scene! Omg! XD!
