If you know me, you’d know that I’m a sucker for TVCs, specially creative and quirky ones like Asnan’s! (remember the big wai3?)

secured payday loans

I got this very weird gift bag from asnan tower that contains a wig, fake eye lashes, and a balloon!

اللي يعرفني يدري ان وايد وايد وايد احب الاعلانات التلفزيونية. وااااايد و خصوصا الاعلانات الذكية مثل اعلانات اسنان كلينك.

اليوم وصلتلي هدية غريبة منهم! جنطة فيها باروكة، رموش و تفاخة! و وياهم كود اسوي له سكان. و لمى سويت له سكان طلعت لي هالمسج

When I scanned their quick reference code they attached to the bag, i got the following link:

the link القصة

It basically asks us to try to figure out their next TVC and the closest blogger to get the storyboard right will be able to attend the shoot (insert puppy eyed face here)

باختصار، هالثلاث اشياء عبارة عن مفاتيح نستخدمهم عشان نعرف شنو اعلانهم اليديد. و المدون اللي يعرف شنو قصة اعلانهم اليديد يقدر يحضر التصوير :)

I’ve never participated in a competition before but this is Asnan :D I’d kill to attend the TVC shoot!

انا عادة ما اشترك بمسابقات بس هذي عجبتني. ساعدوني افووووز – لازم نعرف شنو قصة الاعلان قبل ١٠/٧!!

اللي فهمته ان له علاقة بأشياء صناعية

What I got so far is that it revolves around fake temporary stuff.

فكروا معاي شنو ممكن تكون القصة؟

:)

هذي المدام راح تساعدنا نتخيل القصة :)
This pretty lady is going to help us make up a story :p

How to sin properly.

By now, my dietitian will probably ban me from ever stepping foot at their premises & I made my peace with it. My line of business and dieting don’t go along together so i have 40 days to eat whatever it is i want and gain as much weight as I want and no one is allowed to comment about it. Wohoo!

I’m hoping that I feel guilty soon but no, guilt and I don’t get along too well either and I find it funny! I’m having guilt free fun eating sinful dishes :D

Anyways, back to my latest sinful dish:

Explanation:

Vanilla ice cream on top of rice flakes layer (use any available cereal), topped with bacon bits, maple syrup and more bacon bits!

If you’re not a fan of bacon, substitute it with rock salt bit it’s a MUST TRY!

Tharoriii

Bon Appetit!

#ProjectX_KWT Finale

I can’t believe that ProjectX finale is today. Last weekend was super fun! I got to meet lots of foodie bloggers, see them in action and learn from them.

20120616-030716 AM.jpg

It was just a thought that we came up with back in March I think and now we’re almost done and el7imdellah everyone is happy about it :)

It wouldn’t have been a success without our fellow bloggers and the spirit they brought to chef boutique, the awesome judges who have committed to being there all three days of the competition as well as put on all the extra hours before the competition making up rules and choosing special ingredients, Salma Alyaseen and Tareq Alaskar; the filming heroes! They’ve transformed projectX from a simple cooking competition, to a real show! and last but not least, all the awesome sponsors who have made ProjectX a reality

I loved every bit of it! My favorite parts were the following:

- The look on the contestants faces when they saw the secret ingredient. One word: PRICELESS! I have to snap pictures tomorrow!

- Judges reactions to Danderma’s salad. I still smile every time I remember their faces :) The salad looked AWESOME by the way

- How the bloggers built their dishes. Walking around and listening to them talking to their partners and discussing how they’re going to cook their dishes is my favorite part of the whole competition. I LOVE it when people invent recipes :D

- Judges cooking during the competition :) I’m glad everyone had fun

That’s only part of it :). If you want to tune in during the finale tomorrow, make sure you check out the following hashtag on twitter and instagram:

Looking forward to seeing what the contestants might come up with tomorrow :)

Enjoy!

My obsession with eggs continues!

I love eggs… A LOT to the point that I manage to find the weirdest egg devices in Kuwait :p if it’s out there, I’m going to find them and try them out!

I loved my little poached eggs pouchies ( post here ) but they take time and I’m not patient enough to wait for my eggs to be ready to eat most of the time.

So for the days I don’t feel like waiting ( like tonight for example) I go with this thing:

All you need to do is crack open your eggs and place them inside this cup, close and microwave! How easy is that! :D

The result depends on how long you microwave your eggs. 30 secs gives you runny egg yolks, 40 secs gives you semi runny yolks, 50 gives you well cooked eggs.

I prefer going with 30 seconds but I tried 35 seconds this time and I got this result:

It’s super easy and fun to use. Even kids can use them if they know how to operate a microwave :)

I got mine from Lulu Hypermarket a while ago and I’ve been using it ever since :)

Bon appetite!

I wrote a really long post about achieving goals and dreams and never giving up on them because it’s the only way you’ll ever fail.

The irony: right before hitting send, i accidentally deleted it and posted this word instead: Mise en place

With that note: If you have something in mind, do everything you can to achieve it and always plan every step you’ll ever take. You’ll need plan a,b, and all the way to Z. Never leave room for failure and chances.

Chances are: you won’t get it from the first trial, but believe me, it’s all for the best and once you get it, you’ll be even more prepared to fight the battle to keep it and achieve greatness.

When we pray “estikhara” we ask for guidance, and for god to show us the right path for us and also ask for satisfaction. And I just realized that, have I taken the opportunities I got in the past years, I wouldn’t have been able to be who I am today and wouldn’t have been able to actually achieve my goals :)

So, stay positive, be prepared, and work hard for your dreams. It will all pay off eventually.
