Photo challenge Day 5: What I Ate.





This is a very yummy mushroom risotto I had in hotel Missoni.




Along with the best drink ever!




I don't remember the name but it's a mix of fruits with a hint of ginger all over ice cubes ! Light fresh and I can have a whole pitcher just for myself <3 br="br">
It's always the best way to dine With style and great food.

Photo challenge day 3: shadow of anything.





My favorite Tom Ford perfume . Maybe the picture suppose to show only the shadow. But I tried to align the item to the side but couldn't focus on the shadow more than this. Note I'm using my iPhone for this photo challenge ;)

Book review: al9al7iya by Haitham Boodai.

The Kuwaiti writer Haitham Boodai said :
ان هذا البلد الطيب، لم ينشا بالصدفة أو بالبترول، بل كافح ليعيش و قاوم ليبقى رغم الفقر و الجوع و الأوبئة و الحروب.

With every word Hiatham Boodai writes into this book. U can feel that the previous sentence by him is the beating heart of those words. Who formed a lovely deep meaning short stories. That mostly pointed at a transition era where Kuwait had a golden past to leave behind and begins a new platinum future.

Mixed feelings! With 5 old times short stories and 7 new times short stories, the possibilities are endless. How simple are the sentences can be, they can take u to higher sky or deep down sea ..






Random phrases I loved :

أخذ المطر ينهمر على المقبرة القديمة التي تتوسط المدينة المزدحمة و هي تفرض بصمتها الوقور, الهيبة والاحترام على من حولها من البنايات الشاهقة القريبة.
---

صمتت لبرهة و هي تخرج الطعام من الفدر ثم قالت بغضب بارد: أتترك البحر؟ .. أضافت متماسكه : أتترك أباك؟ كيف ستتركه وحيدا في إداره السفينه؟ 
رد قائلا بغصة تخنقه : الكل يهجر البحر .. معظم من أعرف فد تركوه
---

و ذاك الرباط الذي أفلته عن عمد.. ليغوص راضيا بصمت نحو الأعماق
---

الأم تمسح دمعة طارئة تداركتها بطرف اصبعها.. رفعت نظرها إلى فتحة التكييف .. متمنية ألا تعود الكهرباء.. والا يندفع الهواء من جديد ولو لساعة واحدة .. ساعة واحدة فقط حتى يذوب الجليد ... كل الجليد
---

جلس على فراشه يتأمل مكتبته .. عنواوين كثيرة لكتب في التربية والتعليم و علم النفس .. لم تسعفه في اللحظة الحرجة .. ((علم نفس الطفل)).. ((الإتجاهات التربوية)).. ((التربية والمجتمع)).. أين ذهب كل هذا؟

Ruby Likes : adagio Music in all of it's versions.

Adagio .. Italian based word refers to music played slowly.


could not find much more of it. though I believe it means something maybe to the christian culture,  or not, cuz  I found the same song style in almost all languages. sang by ppl with strong voices and Opera abilities.



hope you enjoy as much as I did!

Update : The dear friend Amani tweeted this info to me ( adagio is composed by the Austrian composer Franz Schubert, It's not a song bs later they added lyric to it and then it became a song)

Italian version :




English version:


Arabic version:

How to adjust the size of a Video to fit the Blog post space.

Hey PPL.. It's been a while.. I've been in instagram most of the time :) But I didn't forget my dear blog roll .. I've been checking my dear friends posts all the time :)

been seing this a lot while reading posts with videos in them .

The scroll bars are kinda annoying ..
youtube videos used comes in sized when embed. we can choose the size you wanted. but I don't see this option anymore.
I'd like to share how to adjust the video size when posting it .. sorry if you already know that :P but there are alot of ppl who doesn't like to touch the code.

so:

You canmodify the size in the posting page as follows:
when choosing ( HTML ) tab and pasting the embedding code you copied from youtube or any other video source. go ahead and change the integer number that comes after ( width =" "  )
you can also change the height if u like to. though changing the width only is enough. the video adjust itself to it.


click on the picture to see it clearly.

enjoy the energy
