It took me a while to get through this book but it was well worth the read.  The book provides really good advise for women.  The way the book is organized and the examples it uses make the book easy to read and easy to follow.  Meaning it is suitable for almost any female out there, although a few things might not apply since we don’t need to worry about taxes.  It’s important to mention that the book doesn’t tell you how to become a millionaire; rather every person’s definition of “Rich” is different.  To me I see this book as a first step to becoming comfortable with investing as a girl.

That is exactly what they are a “mole” like the animal.

Once again I had to go get some papers from MOLE, while there I asked about my degree and if it had been translated. To my surprise the girl said “Yes, it’s been here since March 16” no call, no email, no messenger bird? How was I to know! She told me to go see mole #1 who told me I needed a stamp. I walked to building 2, from building 4, to the stamp machine and purchased the stamp that was 500 fils and walked back. I gave mole #1 the stamp and then she asked me “What’s your name” I innocently told her my name. Then, mole #1 asked mole #2 to check the system, it turned out it wasn’t my papers that they had received. It was another girl whose name is similar to mine and by chance studied in the same university at the same time. At this point furious is not a word that would accurately describe my emotions at the time but I can’t think of anything more expressive. Mole #1 ran to her wallet to give me 500 fils which I could not accept but I must say it was a nice gesture that didn’t help the situation.

Mole #2 said that the university had not corresponded or replied back to them. Was she trying to play me for a fool? Very furiously I explained to her that the university wouldn’t even contact the MOLE as they have issued my transcripts and diploma meaning their part of the bargain is over. Then she said it was the Cultural office, do you see where she is going with this? Trying to blame everyone except herself for not doing her job.

I contacted my ex-advisor who explained that he had sent my papers back in January (7^th to be exact) and that he has not received any request for my papers since. My next step was to get some Wasta into MOLE.

I’ll keep ya’ll posted on this situation, MOLE must be burnt

What do you do when the lights go out at work?

I found the perfect Daily Planner at Center Point, Hawally, it is a match made in heaven don’t ya think?

I couldn’t resist I had to buy shoes

Sometimes finding an ordinary object in Kuwait can become an expedition for a treasure. All I want is a small decent daily planner.

Yesterday my friend and I got to talking about politics, more like she started talking about politics.  I found myself explaining to her that I am not for politics and that it didn’t interest me at all.  She was trying to convince me that it was crucial that I at least understand some of what is going on and that I MUST vote.

Here is how I see it: right now I have no interest in politics, it might be just bad timing.  More importantly I am not going to speak, let alone vote, on something I have no clue about.  I always tell my little brother that if he doesn’t know something, he shouldn’t talk about it and that is what I do as well.  So until I become politically knowledgeable I don’t think I will be voting this year.  And by politically knowledgeable I don’t mean able to write a novel, just comfortable enough to voice my opinion and carry a conversation.

I love any show that is set in those times.  Like a comment said on IMDB “With the proposed ending of Rome - I think a lot of viewers will automatically turn to The Tudors” That is exactly what happened.  Except the Tudors is a lot more juicier than Rome plus everyone is prettier.
