To go or not to go

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

A friend of mine is invited to her ex-boyfriend’s wedding because she’s still in contact with his sisters. Her ex hurt her bad (he was such player), but she says she’s over him and in the summer she got married to someone else. So she says she moved on …

The thing is I’m trying to convince her not to go. I know deep down that she wants go to his wedding just to prove to him she’s over him or something of that sort. She says she just wants to go for the fun of it. I tell her what’s the fun of it having to see your ex getting married to another girl you dislike, because it so happens that this girl used to work with her sister and they were never fond of her.

I tell her it’s not like she’s still in contact with her ex and besides he’s not the one who invited her, his sisters did. So she’s like ask your blogger friends what the right thing to do, to go to her ex’s wedding out of respects to his sisters or not?

P.s. another thing, her husband doesn’t really know she’ll be going to her ex’s wedding … how’s he going to like that!

Her: do you know why I haven’t bought myself a new pair of shoes yet? (she looked down at her worn out boots)

Me: yep, they look a little worn out but I’m sure they would last the rest of our winter. haven’t you saved enough money this month?

Her: laa it’s not that. I was just hoping they’ll be the last pair of boots I wear before I’m pregnant.

It’s strange how some people are desperate for one thing while others don’t even care the least about them. Subhan Allah!

why can’t we have Barney

Good things about this country:

1. It takes less than 5 min. to see a physician without taking a prior appointment.

2. Price of gas is cheap.

3. No taxes.

4. Bus fares are so cheap (150fils from Kuwait City to Farwaniya).

5. No charges on land line phones.

Ps. Salons are so cheap, ex. if you go to farwaniya you’ll find many salons who charge only 1 kd for any job done.

Bad things about this country:

1. Gyms are so expensive.

2. Lands are ridiculously overpriced.

3. We don’t have Barney.

4. Private education is very expensive.

5. Physicians prescribe antibiotics like candy.
