HMV Oxford Street Shuts Down

My friend just came back from London and she told me that the HMV store located at Oxford Street has shut down!

If you are a frequent visitor to London, you would know that the Oxford HMV store is considered more of a landmark/attraction point in the famous shopping street. You can’t be walking there and not visit the store and check out the great deals and bundles they have on famous sitcoms, TV shows, and movies.

It’s still unknown what will replace the store in that location. I just can’t imagine walking down Oxford and not seeing HMV there!

On a different note, it seems to me that the evolution of streamed TV and the digital media technology in general have had a huge effect on the other types of media that we have always lived with.

A few weeks ago Borders, the famous bookshop, has filed for bankruptcy. And now HMV closes down one of its most strategically located stores in London.

A new era is approaching at the speed of light.

Update:

The location leasehold was sold to Forever 21. Link

Boots Nail & Cuticle Oil

I tend to have very dry cuticles. They need moisturization 24/7.  Hand creams don’t help much.

So I was in Boots today and I spotted this Nail & Cuticle oil. It turned out great and very convenient to apply on the go.

Now this will never leave my makeup bag.

“Car Mechanics” Training Course for Girls in Kuwait

Muneera is  a Kuwaiti woman who wants to attend a training course on “Car Mechanics” in Kuwait so she can handle her car on the road, all by herself  *I applaud her*

She went to the Public Authotiry for Applied Education and Training. They said they can avail the course in May 2011, with the condition of having a minimum of 15 girl participants.

She currently has only 2.

If you are interested in attending the training course, contact Muneera on icanhandleitq8@gmail.com. The poster above is designed by her.

Now on a different note. I remember taking a car mechanics course back in high school. Is the course not available anymore? or do my high school years go way back!

For me the most difficult part is carrying the tire. It’s so heavy!

So unfortunately, although I remember the steps of changing a flat tire, I need someone to carry it with me!

I have previously posted about this funny sketch that was made back in 2009 about Qadhaffi on SNL refer to the previous post for the full story before you watch the video above.

The video in the first post was removed from youtube.

Enjoy the long weekend.

My IKEA Panel Curtain is Finally Up!

That took a lot of measuring, cutting, drilling, assembling, and re-cutting to put up. It was a collaborative effort between me and my hubby.

By the way, the rod had to be cut using a saw, and I did that. *ahem ahem*

There is a reason I chose a panel curtain. See it’s actually covering the door of our balcony. When I need to use the door, I can open the curtain with once quick move. And as the curtain panels collapse on each, I have enough room to open the door without damaging the fabric itself.

IKEA carry different designs and colors of this type of curtain. The price vary depending on the size required.

I love how it turned out and it goes perfect with my new grey wall color.

ZUMBA Kuwait

Yesterday we cancelled our pilates class to try out Zumba!

I think I might be the last person in Kuwait to know about this class that’s been trending throughout K-town for the most of year 2010.

Zumba Fitness® is the only Latin-inspired dance-fitness program that blends red-hot international music, created by Grammy Award-winning producers, and contagious steps to form a “fitness-party” that is downright addictive.

www.zumba.com

Zumba Kuwait class is run by a Kuwaiti Zumba certified instructor Amani Al Askari (That’s her in the picture above, taken from Zumba Kuwait Facebook page). Amani is a very energetic and lovable young lady. She carries a smile that never leaves her face and although I don’t know her, she made me feel comfortable among the 50+ crowd that were following her steps and moves.

The class lasted for 1 hour in which we jumped, danced, and shook our bodies away! I ended up sweating a ton of water and feeling invigorated and energized.

My bestie and I had so much fun and we will definitely be going back.

Below are the Zumba classes Schedule:

Sunday – Monday 7:00pm – 8:00pm

Wednesday – Thursday 6:00pm – 7:00pm

To attend the class you simply show up on time. You have the option of paying KD 5 for 1 class, or KD 30 for 10 classes.

You will love it.

Kuwait Zumba class is held at the basement of BIVT Building- Block 3 Street 5 Building 3. If you are coming from Gulf Road, turn on to the restaurants street (opposite Pizza Hut). Then take the 2nd right (opposite Platinum Gym). The BIVT building will be on your left hand side.
