You're thinking, who doesn't, right? But sometimes people dont care about the really small things that i do. It can actually be very annoying that i care so much. Its not that im picky, its just that i love to be surrounded by pleasing things (beautiful or purposefully ugly, they must be pleasing) all the time. People don't care about</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>shower caps</b>. In fact, i don't understand how some people dont even have <b>shower caps.</b> Thats so impractical and strange. Okay, what do you put on your head to take a body shower? If i dont put anything then the humidity will fill my hair and enter my scalp and then i'll feel disgusting and sticky. Ew! And i cant take a very good shower because i wouldnt want to wet my hair and then i wont feel squeaky clean. Ew again! Thats why people wear <b>shower caps</b>. An</div><div style="text-align: center;">d somehow it makes me feel happier to wear a white cotton lace-covered shower cap than one of those transparent hotel ones.

God knows when but was very surprised to see the place absolutely packed yesterday! My two cousins and i went to the see the newly-arrived penguins yesterday and had a blast. I had already seen them in their natural habitat in <b>South Africa</b>. So cute. It all started with <b>igloo ice cream</b>, then <b>Happy Feet </b>and suddenly penguins are the new <b>Habba</b>. Thats it.</div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/Sld1B-kSA4I/AAAAAAAABxs/n2Jgkb37HiE/s400/IMG00347.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356878958615987074" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">There's even this foam cut-out thing (you know the kinds where you stick your head in the hole and take a picture?) and they built a viewing platform for visitors. We sat and waited like idiots thinking there was going to be a show.</div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/Sld1CDop23I/AAAAAAAABx0/5vPumhju5mc/s400/IMG00348.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356878959976504178" /><div style="text-align: center;">We also watched <b>Galapagos at the IMAX</b>. Such a good film. But they cut it right at the most interesting part and after we waited 10 minutes they said it was due to "technical difficulties". And we didnt get to watch the rest. Sucks. Im so going back though. The crowd, OMG!!! <i>Seas </i>of <b>mitna8bat in 3D glasses</b> with their families of eight, throwing popcorn and screeeeeeeeaming at the top of their lungs! And <b>spiky haired, fisfori-wearing geezies </b>and <b>yogurt cups</b> (??) All the kids were grabbing at the air (li2ana 3D) and kicking the chairs in front of them and their parents had no more respect (please dont ask if they shut them up). This kid next to me kept screaming "YUBAAAA 6ALI3 BA7AAAAAR YUBA BA7AR!!!!!! ABBAAAAI IL SIMACH YAY 3INDY!! DHUB DHUB YUBAA 6ALI3!!! 6ALI3 HATHY IL BNAYA ILI GA3ID TAMSHY SHIFTHAAAAAA?? AGOOLIK HATHYY... SHGA3DATSAWY AL7EEEEN???" Good God, i wanted to wrap her up in duct tape and throw her somewhere. I told the father very politely that i was trying to listen to the movie and he said "oshhh" once and never paid attention again as the kid continued with her loud commentary.</div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/Sld1Bv98v7I/AAAAAAAABxk/SIhlzM3R3P0/s400/IMG00350.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356878954697113522" /><div style="text-align: center;">Speaking of loud kids, we entered the aquarium. Comepletely ignoring the DO NOT TOUCH WINDOWS signs the kids were banging on the windows (about the fish "3abood: LAISH MA YIT7ARAAAK?? 7amood: NAYIM NAYIM! GAWMA YALLA!") and running around playing catch as their parents shoved their camera flashes at the tank windows with the staff's consent. We then entered the large viewing room (the one with the sharks) and there were t<b>hree Indian kids</b>. One of the funniest displays of idiot kiddery that i've ever seen. There were three little kids: one (<b>Ashoo</b>) was 1 cm taller than the other girl and boy. All of them were banging on the glass and screaming as their parents sat. <b>Ashoo </b>make the <b>smaller boy</b> stand against the seats so he could take a picture. (Not against the fish la7thaw). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Ashoo:</b> Stand straight! Put your legs together! Noo nooo not like that! Head straight. okay. i will take a pictuh. Dont move!! (he holds up his phone) *chik* Again!! *chik* This is horrible its too daak in here!!</div><div style="text-align: center;">run around, pushing each other. Suddenly nisma3 <b>smaller boy</b> "F*** you!" <b>Girl </b>"hahah no F*** you!" <b>Ashoo</b> and comes and pushes them all "F*** you!!" and this goes on for a while wil ahal mo mla7theen waaala shay. Ana o my cousins ba6eenha thi7ik! It was so ridiculous and it didnt help that the kids were so cute. They start climbing all over their parents (who are infront of us) and sticking their shoes in our faces and falling all over us. Screaming "DADDY ASHOO IS BEATING ME!!" <b>Ashoo</b>: "Shut up! A shark will eat you! Oh look, i found a CAAVE! (ya3ni the control room behind the pillar or whv that thing is) and they all start running toward the cave. Then the <b>smaller boy</b> falls. "AAAAAAAAAH DADDY I FELL!!!"</div><div style="text-align: center;">and <b>his father</b>: "Lion King Lion King, be strong!" </div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh hahahahahahhahahahahah.

Thats really cool.</div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/SkS0N4yKCqI/AAAAAAAABvY/4fcKWRFnsJc/s400/DSCN2192.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 274px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351600407897049762" /><div style="text-align: center;">The bag arrived perfect except for one tiny detail: the sewing on one side of the handle (not the bag!) came undone. It was barely noticeable (I wouldnt have noticed it if i wasn't such a perfectionist when it comes to details). But immediately upon being informed, the girls came, picked it up and had it ready in less that 24 hours. Thats professionalism. </div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/SkS0NbXZoTI/AAAAAAAABvI/5yJgXzjU9C8/s400/DSCN2189.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351600400000196914" /><div style="text-align: center;">The pattern was laser-cut into the leather. I really like it because it looks like a traditional pattern masking a cool, cyber-bug.

I was skyping with <b>Perry</b> when my mother came in and told me yalla hurry up lets go i dont have time. (The driver is on vacation so im basically a prisoner in my own home). So i forgot my camera. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Let me say: BRAVO! These 3 Kuwaiti architects of <b>Experiment One </b>really made an impression on me tonight. I have never (and i mean it) seen this kind of creativity, quality and simple forwardness in design in any<b> Arab</b> fashion product.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ya3ni sorry bes i know lots of handbag design companies and stuff from around the <b>Middle East</b> and il9ara7a i never bought (even though they are not so expensive) because i immediately reject something itha mo 3ajibny 100%. Quality and finish is very important to me, not only</div><div> "how it looks"and "styla". Last summer wayid kan 3ajibny clutch 3ala one of my friends and i went to the store in <b>Libnan </b>to buy and i looked inside and the lining wasnt professional. The stitching was a bit wonky and the zipper looked a tad cheap. Also the leather didnt feel soft. This stuff is very important. It is necessary that the bag closes right, that it feels smooth, generous, professional, elegant. That is the making of a designer bag. If i want something not done properly, i could go to <b>H&M</b> and take it to <b>Barakat </b>and have them put some crystals on it.</div><div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/Sjf1XMva8MI/AAAAAAAABuI/YBowa1M5a0c/s400/IMG00322.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348012861431673026" /><div style="text-align: center;"> --This<b> Linear bag</b> looks <i>fantastic </i>on tall girls (It actually looked really good on me, but after not realizing how much my "extreme makeover" for the nannies' room would cost, i settled on just one) and the clunky wood is makes it hang really straight.--</div></div><div>One of the girls told me that as recently graduated architects working in fields without too much majal for creativity, they decided to spend their creative energy on designing something. For this "experiment" it was bags. They were innovative and simple. They were not overly "designed" or pretentiously "conceptualized". They served their function as bags perfectly. They close and open smoothly, the leather is soft (though i wish it would be softer) and they carry well. </div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/Sjf1XjTv-7I/AAAAAAAABuY/wQ4-tlJdDm8/s400/IMG00325.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348012867489627058" /><div><div style="text-align: center;">This <b>Cross </b>bag is really soft and loveable. You can carry it long on your shoulder or take it by the handle. The brass connector parts are engraved with their elegant logo.</div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/Sjf1W0u-GwI/AAAAAAAABuA/Zrtkt6U3vOE/s400/IMG00321.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348012854987332354" /><div style="text-align: center;">This origami bag made of a wonderful rubber fabric. It's huge and looks like a fabulous wonton. The picture does it no credit, its actually folded very dramatically. It is light and holds all your life in it perfectly. Fuctionality and design work together seamlessly. All of the stuff is<b> made in Kuwait</b> (PROPS!) and the girls put it together. Dont worry, it is all of a superior quality. They source some of the stuff from outside but most of their materials come from <b>Kuwait</b>. They obviously worked tirelessly to perfect their product and told me that they didn't display many of their bags tonight because they were not satisfied with their quality.</div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/Sjf1W7ZKkXI/AAAAAAAABt4/ACpx2ZLFDe0/s400/IMG00320.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348012856774922610" /><div style="text-align: center;">I loved this one the most and i ordered it in maroon and black. All brass or copper parts are made by THEM and the leather had a gorgeous laser-cut pattern on it. All were sold out and now i have to wait two weeks :(. Sucks. You can choose from many leather colors and types of wood (oak/mahogany/walnut). </div></div><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/Sjf1XZiiLYI/AAAAAAAABuQ/KDx2gpC_fr0/s400/IMG00323.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348012864867282306" /><div>See how this wood at the top of a small chain-handle clasp bag of theirs has a carved wooden frame? Beautiful.

We have so much to catch up on (but thats another post). I am so excited. We have two <b>nannies' rooms</b>: the upstairs one and the downstairs one. </div><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/SjYK6d7NqBI/AAAAAAAABtY/JqsiiWJ3vR4/s400/DSCN2166.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347473607130720274" /><div style="text-align: center;">The downstairs one is their real room but it was so bad that they haven't used it for years and it became a sort of storage room for all their dinner sets and giant shipping containers. I, (make-over fanatic that i am) decided i want to <b>gut it out</b> and make the whole thing over so they can actually sleep in it again. Dont worry, it doesnt look that small in real life and they have a huge 9ala upstairs.</div><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/SjYK60NYBYI/AAAAAAAABtg/0a2WnmtFSeI/s400/DSCN2167.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347473613112477058" /><div>So one day, i whipped out the <b>wa9eet</b> and started calling window repair men and painters and carpet people. Actually, i felt like such an idiot, i was going through the <b>wa9eet</b> looking for window guys and kept coming across <b>Al-Manyoom</b>, which i though was a family name (ya3ni the name of the company) and i was so annoyed that this one company seemed to have twenty billion ads on one page and i couldnt find another company! How stupid i felt when i realized that the ads actually said<b> </b><i><b>Aluminium</b></i>!

Simple. Brilliant.</div><div style="text-align: center;">After <b>Sharm</b> last summer, i became monstrously sick due to food poisoning on the day that we were gona travel (im talking drips and injections here). We stopped in<b> Cairo</b> for a few hours and i was dead <i>set</i> on going to <b>Azza Fahmy</b>'s shop. Upon entering, I spend an infinity ogling the gorgeous jewels inside their glass display cases, mystified by these fantastical objects. My mother and I especially loved a beautiful necklace with yellow gold, white gold and onyx. It felt so anciently modern (see? <b>Azza Fahmy</b> needs her own phrases).

Hard-wired into my system. I am one of those human beings who are, by some powerful force of nature drawn to water irresistably. It is completely out of my control. When it starts raining cats and dogs outside in March, dancing around in the 7osh is taken for granted. When it rains on a pool you bet i am going to jump in. My greatest love is running water and giant plate-like showers.I first heard of <b>Gerard Gay</b> as i was reading a discarded <b>Costes </b>magazine while packing up in <b>Paris</b>. I ripped out the page and then stupidly didnt take it with me. <img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Fagl7ehL_bo/Sivb65UZYyI/AAAAAAAABsI/whYvBMe8pOg/s400/ggay1.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 213px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344607187670491938" />Spent all of today googling "Pool. designer. gay/ swimming pools gay francois/henri/etc" and so please imagine what kind of stuff came up. His pools are so natural, gorgeous and perfect that i was almost crying with longing as i looked through his website gallery. I want a house with that kind of nature where i can place a gorgeous harmonious pool!! Aaaaaaaaaaah. Anyone who has a pool designed by him please be my friends and invite me over. They are perfect. You know that feeling when you first marvelled at water's meniscus?
