The House Of Etiquette *Thank you*
I received this elegant Eid package from The House of Etiquette.
The House of Etiquette is a fully licensed and certified training center, based in Kuwait.
Focusing on the arts and social graces surrounding poise, manner, etiquette and other life-skills, the center offers tailor-made courses for young boys and girls, as well as adults.
It was interesting to know that their trainers are professionally certified by Mind Manners, International Etiquette and Protocol Academy of London. You can check their training schedule for September / October 2010 here.
Posted in General IKEA Makeup Organizer
I bought this lovely organizer from IKEA today. It’s perfect for my makeup with slots for almost everything.
Notice how the compartments that hold the pencils move up and down? Love it!
Price: KD 9.000
New Link
I have added a new link to my links’ bar that will take you straight to “My Garage Sale”. Here I will auction/sell stuff that I have but no longer need or use. The items will still be posted in the main page. This link is just a shortcut to view them all at once.
iPad 64GB 3G+WiFi – Best Deal so Far
I saw this ad in the newspapers today. Mobile 2000 is selling the iPad 64GB (3g+WiFi) for KD309 with home delivery!
So far this is the best deal I have seen in Kuwait. My friend called them at 2PM and ordered it. They delivered it at 5pm.
Posted in General Clearing Out Clutter
These days I’m in a super organizing mood. I’m clearing out years of clutter and stuff that I don’t really need or use anymore. A lot of the stuff I want to thraw away are in good condition and can be really used by others. So I decided to have my own garage sale on the blog 
Every now and then I’ll be posting items up for auction. There are books, Original DVDs, and others. I keep discovering new stuff as I dig deeper and deeper!
This should be fun!
Stay tuned

PDair iPad Leather Case
One of my missions when I travelled to Dubai last week was to find a good leather practical case for my iPad as I did not find any in Kuwait.
The PDair leather case is exactly what I was looking for. It’s a book-case-like-file that holds your iPad perfectly in place. It has magnetic closures and can stand horizontally or vertically for hands free viewing.
I found it in one of the booths that stand between shops in The Mall of Emirates.
Funny story. I asked for the price and the seller said it’s AED 320. I started bargaining the price as I thought it was very expensive. The seller kept convincing me that the brand itself is expensive, but I did not care. I managed to bring down the price to AED 270.
I got it reluctantly, as I thought it was still expensive, reasoning with the fact that I did not find anything else that was even close to its design.
When I checked the price on PDair official website, it was $79.
$79 = approx. KD 23
AED 270 = approx. KD 21
It turned out the seller was right. It Is an expensive brand and I managed to get it below retail price!
Very proud of myself! 
To find the booth, enter The Mall of Emirates from Kempinski Hotel. It’s probably the 2nd of third booth. It sells phone accessories.

The last 10 minutes that crushed us in the Finale.
I can not bring myself to watch it again 
Not yet at least.
Posted in General Yeah Right!
These days I seem to be getting more and more Telemarketing calls about special discount cards and stuff that I really don’t want to be bothered with.
I recently read an article in iPhone Life Magazine – February 2010 issue, about some iphone tips & tricks that not many people seem to know about.
One trick they called “Annoying Caller Alert”.
I’m not sure if this is specific to the iPhone only, but fact is the iPhone can save as much as 9 numbers under one single contact. So the trick is to create a contact that you call “Blocked” or “Do Not Answer” and save the number of any annoying telemarketing call you get and you never want to answer again.
Following the tip, I created a contact called “Yeah Right” and began saving the numbers of telemarketing companies that call me.
Now whenever this number calls, I will be like:
Yeah Right! As if I’m going to answer that!
