The filters in your cigarettes may contain pig’s blood. Thats what I just read on the net, that Researches have confirmed pig haemoglobin, which is a blood protein, have been found in the filters. It’s being used in the filters to somehow reduce harmful chemicals from entering your lungs.

So far only one tobacco manufacturer in Greece confirmed the use of pig haemoglobin. Researchers have been demanding more transparency in what goes into making a cigarette, coz it may be a big deal for certain groups of people like Muslims, Jews and Vegetarians, but tobacco manufacturers aren’t too eager to share their secrets “that’s our business and a trade secret.”

Remember the weirdest Pringles ever? Now here is it’s competitor from Lay’s!

Over the past 3 years if you see the charts above you will notice that the iPhone and BlackBerry smart phones are taking large percentage from Symbian OS which is mainly Nokia phones. Everything comes to an end, I’m not sure how Nokia will hold up, I don’t know much about it’s agenda and what it has in store for the future but as a former symbian fan I hope it can make a come back and end current fads. I heard there is a new software that acts like Whatsapp and BBM for Nokia and that it’s free. Obviously Nokia is playing catchup right now and I hope it can pull back some of it’s customers.

I just read in Alwatan newspapers that they’re building bedrooms for the transit passengers in Kuwait’s airport. The article mentioned that transit passengers won’t face any problems if their trip got delayed or had to wait for long hours, the bedrooms will be available for nominal prices.

AlWatan paper used a picture of a sleep box for the article, which I think is much cooler if true!

Thanks Fawaz

Someone gave me their business card after a meeting and I was really embarrassed for that person after reading it! Who puts their degree (with honors mind you) on their card?

YO! Sushi has just opened in 360° mall. I was there today and noticed that it was more than half full. Good thing considering it’s other branch in Marina mall wasn’t doing so good the last time I checked (is that one still open?)

We didn’t eat there, we ate at Wagamama instead, but the waiter told us that they will offer a delivery option soon, in less than a month, and that they will deliver to neighboring areas at first. I asked about Mishref and he said yes “Mishref, Bayan, Jabriya, Qurtuba, Surra..etc.”

I’m not a fan of Japanese food but I know that I have to try this one out, regardless of how weird I’d feel picking food I didn’t order outta of that revolving bar.

I went right after the opening on thursday and the place was exploding with customers. It was a nightmare, a good nightmare, coz everything was worth buying! I loved the collection (I’ve never been to an American Eagle and own none of their stuff so it was all new to me). The queue for the fitting rooms was ridiculous, I was wondering how were the staff coping with it (Surprisingly they were on top of things).

My friend asked a lady who worked for AE and was at Dubai branch’s opening if it was as crowded as it is in Kuwait (First branch in the middle east opened in Dubai on 17th of this month) She said that they are surprised at the amount of people who showed up in here and that “the turn up is at least 10 times Dubai’s.”

The staff although busy as hell were ready to answer questions and fetch things for me while in fitting room. Great collection. Bought 3 shirts and 2 shorts. Good stuff!

I’d go in the mornings if I were you or right after work coz I wouldn’t wish that queue even on enemies.

I was surfing Amazon and found that if you pre-ordered Super Mario Galaxy 2 you will get it for KD14.5, plus free shipping, plus a voucher for KD6 for your next order.

Just wondering if anyone knows who is the Bandluxe dealer in Kuwait (if you don’t know what is BanLuxe, its for wireless internet routers and USB modems), if there is No dealer here in Kuwait, is there any in Dubai? if the answer is No again then my last question, is there any shop that sells wide range of Bandluxe products here in Kuwait or even Dubai?
