french burgers

yesterday me and two friends had burgers at the new french place in avenues phase II (i simply cannot remember the name) the red cafe across from dean & deluca between Hagen daz and caribou, yeah it's open now. anyways, me and two other friends went there and had to wait approximately 15 minutes for a table. we usually hate waiting for a table especially if we were hungry enough to eat a whole ghoozi, each. but this was a new place newly opened and we thought it might be worth the wait. at least we were trying something new. and because it was new to us, naturally we ordered half the menu. we had onion soup for appetizer which was good if you like onion soup. i ordered warm goat cheese salad (yes i ordered a salad), wasnt that bad but when you eat the cheese you are going to know that it really came from a goat, and not in a good way, but i guess thats just how the french do it. oh i loved the bread basket, am a bread lover and i appreciate a good selection of french bread. for our main dish we ordered hamburgers, medium well of coarse. mine was, as you can see, didnt have lettuce or tomato because i like it this way. the hamburgers were in my opinion the best thing we tried at that place, but maybe am saying this cuz of my prejudice towards hamburgers, but if your a hamburger lover you know your just gonna have to try it. we also ordered the calamari dish and spaghetti bolo(naiz), both of which werent any good and not recommended by the bored kuwaiti food tasters club. we would have tried some dessert but unfortunately as it stood, there wasnt any room in our over extended bellies for it. i think there would definitely be a next time if only to sit there and have coffee and dessert, cuz also the seating area is nice and you get a good view of all the passers by, which could prove popular in kuwait.  

ps: polls has been updated!

the iphone wins...for now

i have been struggling for a while now trying to decide which phone i was going to make mine. i have been using the old iphone for a little more than a year now and have gotten so used to the touch screen and all that other iphone shit that whenever i touched another phone my insides twist with disgust as to how can anyone feel satisfaction with a button keyboard or those very small screens that dont react to your every touch! this is the ultimate reason why i choose to stick with apple. it was either that or the blackberry bold, and the only reason i considered the bold was because of the habba status. i just felt everyone has one and i was being left out. bs i figured the biggest reason kuwaities love it oh so much is cuz of the bbm, and i realized none of my close friends have it so what use is it to me to get it and not bbm anyone? also the first question on the polls blog was which u prefer, iphone, bb or an old school phone and to my surprise the blackberry came in last, iphone second and old school nokias and Ericsson's were by far the most preferred mobile of choice. since i wasnt gonna go back to using a conventional phone i decided that, for now at least, i'd stick with the iphone. 

Also a great thing about it is when i plugged the new phone into my laptop i got a msg prompting me to either restore my old phone settings or not. not knowing exactly what that would do i said yes! and to my delight it restored all, i mean alll of my old phone settings. Contacts, ringtones, all the applications i downloaded, all the settings, past emails, and it even copied all the sms msgs i had on my old phone and put them in the new one. Heck, all the missed calls and internet bookmarks and youtube favourites were copied too. it did make me feel, for a bit at first, that i just wasted 260 KD on the same exact phone, but thats just to show you how easy and convenient it is changing phones without the hassle of setting things or copying sim card and all. over all, it was a good choice and am happy with it, but i cant say i wont get a bb in the future, cuz you really never know.
