The weather this weekend (and until now) has been horrid.  A major sandstorm has hit Kuwait which makes breathing and living difficult.  I just spent a weekend locked in closed places.  On Thursday I had dinner at Entrecote with friends I haven’t seen in a couple of months and was home by 10! Last night I decided to stay home because I couldn’t be bothered with the dust anymore.  Hopefully the weather will be a lot better next weekend so that I can spend some time at the beach.

I just read on Naharnet that 60% of teenagers in Lebanon are smokers. 80% of teenagers in Lebanon smoke narguileh/shisha/arguileh.

That is an alarming figure.  How can this be taken care of? By not allowing smoking in public places? I don’t think so.

Most parents tend to allow their children to smoke narguileh rather than cigarettes therefore, the children can smoke it at home or at narguileh places.

I think the best way to deal with this is not to allow people under the age of 18 to buy cigarettes or narguileh.  Make it illegal for teenagers, not the rest of the country.  I also think it should be illegal for those under 18 to be drinking either as well as to enter clubs (that has been implemented in most places).  They should create clubs that open at earlier hours for teenagers.

It has become so easy for me to emotionally detach myself from people and things around me.  A tough lesson I learnt from life.

I have also learnt how to take things as they come.

A shrink once told me its because I live in denial.  If denial is my self-protection, then so be it.

At the moment, I can say that although I am still unemployed, and still have no clue what I want to do with my life, that life is good.

It’s always a good thing when you know what you don’t want, even though you still don’t know what it is what you want.

… as long as we keep the harm away.

I resigned from my job on Thursday.  Gave in 4 weeks notice.  Thought that was blog worthy!
