Why I'll Never Ever Write a Love Letter Again… EVER!
When I was packing my husband's bags for 7ajj I had this overwhelming feeling of wanting to surprise him with something when he unpacks. I thought about stuffing the No3man dolly but then I was afraid No3man would decide to stay in Mecca and never want to come back. I thought about writing him a love letter, then I immediately remembered WHY I have sworn never to write the man a love letter again. As a matter of fact I have blogged about it in May 2009 (post). I thought of sharing this post again with you guys especially to the readers who didn't read my blog back then.
No more love letters for this guy, lo shino! Ryayeel el q8 mo mal love letters!
BY DANDERMA | MAY 8, 2009
OH MY GOD!
OMG OMG OMG OMG!
OMG I'm sooo EMBARASSED … i don't know where to hide my face!!!!
You see, during the end of 2008, my Butootee was going for a 3 day 3omra trip with a friend.
It was the first time he leaves me alone and travels from the day we got married. I was extra emotional. I was crying. and i decided to write him a nice love letter for him to remember me by. It was very gushy, lovey dovey, and absolutely not meant for anyone's eyes other than his…
OK?
I remember stuffing it in his Passport Bag. I remember him texting me later regarding this lovely letter that made him very happy… He went, i cleaned out his private room and threw most of the stuff away without his consent (and his knowledge until this day).
and today, i guess i got the punishment for throwing his stuff -apparently-
You see, he stuffed the love letter into a book. O forgot about it.
He gave the book to his travel mate.
His travel mate. lets call him A, put the book in his own bag, and apparently he did not fully unpack it yet.
Last week, A's mom needed a bag cause she is traveling, decides to empty his bag and check his books and papers and whether he needs them or not. When she falls upon MY LOVE LETTER!
and READS IT!
and the woman is FURIOUS! She thinks its a letter to her son from his girlfriend, not a good situation and intensified by the fact that her son is an only boy over several girls.
and she calls him over, screams and yells at him for having a girlfriend who sends him letters, although my husbands nickname is there I don't know why she overlooked his name for her son's namee?
He, embarrassed and baffled to where the letter came from, swears over and over that he has no girl friend, and he doesnt know where that letter came from.
Problem is the guy loves fool (beans)… and i was saying something like (don't forget to eat tons of fool) becasue the hotel they are staying at provides good fool for breakfast (in my defence it was a long love letter and i was running out of things to say y3ni)… his mom reads that and BAM it confirms her theory of foul play -pun intended-!
Thank god the letter was not signed by my name, it was only signed by "ur wife"… i hope the lady didnt think the boy was married behind her back b3d!!!!
and of course he read MY LOVE LETTER!
and so to prove to his mom that the letter means nothing and he is not hiding it for safekeeping, he tore it in front of her eyes :`(
My love letter… read by other people, and torn into pieces…
and then the guy puts two and two together and thinks it's from me to my husband…
and now Butootee, laughing, nonchalantly tells me!!!
and i feel like hiding!!! Like never getting out of the house again!!!
Wakhzyaaa Wazkhzyaa Wakhzyaaaa
and since he is not so good at keeping our correspondence private, I am NEVER WRITING HIM ANY LOVE LETTERS EVER AGAIN!
I just pray i never run into the guys mom!!! Wakhzyaaaaa

Are you Having a Hard Time Waking Up in the Morning These Days?
For the past week or so I've really had a very hard time getting up from bed. It doesn't matter what time I go to bed: 10, 11, 12… the result is always the same. I would have a very deep almost dreamless sleep and nothing on earth would wake me up. When I eventually wake up I would wake up tired and sleepy and most likely I would nap in the afternoon and sleep early that night too!
Surprisingly I am not the only one! My husband, my work colleagues, my friends… all suffering from the same symptoms! My theory is the weather: the good weather has more oxygen and the change in weather have blown off our biological clock or something? Does that make any sense?
Are you having trouble getting up in the morning? Do you have any idea why? Most importantly, do you have a solution other than sleeping early?
October's Top 100 Kuwaiti Blogs According to Alexa
October has gone by in a flash and it was filled to the brim with activities! Phew! Its also the month we should be getting humid weather but instead its cold and cloudy and amazing! Thank god!
In terms of blogs it is quite surprising actually! 15 new entries, blog ratings all over the place! Other blogs came back into the list. Just like a roller coaster. I am number 11 this time which means I will be working MUCH harder in November to get a better rating 
Disclaimers again… for the love of god read them!
Disclaimer One The blogs that made it to the list are blogs about Kuwait whether originating from Kuwait or not or whether they are by Kuwaiti nationals or expats living in Kuwait. That's why I said KUWAITI blog.
Disclaimer Two I still believe the Alexa rank is way overrated, easily manipulated, and highly volatile. It is not a real measure of how a blog is popular but it doesn't hurt to check it every once in a while as some sort of measure. Its the only semi-reliable measure I can think of. No fighting please.
Disclaimer Three DO NOT ASK ME how to calculate the Alexa rating. For the love of god go to Alexa.com and enter your blog URL. If no local rating is there then THAT's IT!
Disclaimer Four If you know of a blog I missed or a new blog that is gliding up the top in rocket speed please let me know
Disclaimer Five I am Danderma, not Alexa! I do not have the power to rate you or give you a number. Therefore trying to be nice to me will mean nothing. Please remember that.
Now the ratings, enjoy

What would you be dressed as in Halloween?
Hypothetically, lets say you were invited to a Halloween party tonight -or throwing one and you were going to dress up in a custom this year, what would you choose?
The answer came to me naturally: Um Khammas! I adore Um Khammas, a7ebha! A7eb her sense of humor, a7eb her long tongue o short fuse, she reminds me of myself shwaya. I would made a perfect Um Khammas! Sadly all I have from her outfit is her milas :p
I'm curious, what would you choose to dressed as in Halloween? Um Khammas is taken so hands off!

Picture of the Week: Wooden Chandelier
When we were in Fat Burger Burj Jassim (post) I liked their wooden chandeliers a lot and took one hundred pictures of them. This is my favorite picture of that pile. So pretty!
If you hadn't had a chance to pass by Fat Burger burj Jassim branch then you should do so soon. If not for the food then for the decor.
Today's Amazing Sunset
All day today the weather was phenomenal. Cool and breezy with lots of clouds in the sky! This is today's sunset as photographed from the roof of our house! Amazing mo?
I ran inside to grab my father's Tele Macro lens. Here is what I could do with it
My lens…
Baba's lens…
I wish the weather stays like that forever
KDD's New 3ejbo Ad… malaqa!
First it was the Failaka ice cream massacre (). People in Kuwait roared with disapproval at the new chosen name "Blitz". However Blitz is here to stay and Failaka & Columbia have long gone now.
Today I see a KDD ad for a new Chocolate Milk Jumbo. OK, jumbo fair enough. But what the hell is 3ejboo? 3ejbo? Really? What on earth, and in what language, is 3ejboo? Madry 3ajabo?
Dear KDD, as a long life faithful consumer I strongly suggest you change your marketing company who come up with words such as Blitz and Jumbo. I would suggest you go with the marketing company who came up with Quality Net's ramadn ads instead. Maqo maqo is cute and catchy. 3ejbo o Blitz malaqa! Thank god they didn't give the chocolate milk a name like bombo or mumbo jumbo or something! Allah yaster!
Popeye the Sailor Man Spinach Cans
I hate Popeye!
I've always hated him! Ever since I was a little girl I couldn't stand him, or his voice, or his actions, or his eating habits. Trying to brain wash kids to eat spinach by making us believe that spinach will make us as strong as Popeye is just so lame! Even his opening song makes me agitated! Unless I sing the version of "I live in a garbage can, I eat up the worms and spit out the germs" of course. Sound much better.
Anyways if you are a Popeye fan and a spinach fan there is a new brand of canned spinach available in TSC and looks exactly like the spinach can Popeye used to eat all the time. I suppose its a great marketing scheme for canned spinach. Thank god we didn't have canned spinach when we were young, who knows what our parents might have had us eat because of Popeye!
Do you like Popeye?
How do you Imagine the Bloggers to be?
Most people who follow blog have a certain image of the blogger they follow in their own mind's eye. Depending on the blog content you may paint a certain physical image of a blogger and most of the time when you see that blogger in real life, whether in person, or TV, or in an interview, you try to match the real image to your imagination.
Sometimes you are surprised how off your imagination was because the blogger is so different looking you can't relate to your image any more, whether for better or worse. Other times you are pleased with yourself for what you see is what you thought of all along.
So what do you imagine your favorite bloggers to be? I have long ago stopped imagining since I've met most of them anyways so the mystery is ruined for me 7safa :p What about you?
7ennat Um Khammas!
[image error]The other day I was browsing the old shops in Mbarkiya when I found this henna box with Freej's Um Khammas name on it
I love Fereej and adore Um Khammas! Apparently there are even more fans out there for Um Khammas has her own branded 7enna now :p y7leelha Um Khammas! Even though I am a 7enna hater but I wanted to buy the box just because its Um Khammas's 7enna :p
Et7boon Um Khammas?
