Killing me Softly!
Topic: What's Up
This winter season is really killing me softly, I always experience stomachache, cough and colds! We have heater at home but I don't know why I still feel so bad. I drink a lot of tea every morning and night because this is the only way that made me feel good. Our little Azhfaar is very different from me, he is sweating while I am freezing! lol :) Oh, how I wish that this cold season will be gone sooner...I am longing for the spring to come!

Unforgettable Experience
Mood:  accident prone
Topic: What's Up
We just resume our office works today since we had such a very bad and unforgettable experience last Wednesday. I was doing something in my files at around 12:50 pm of that day when I smelled something like fire, I ignored but then I noticed that there was a black and thick smoke coming out from our office's main door and went directly to my room, I went out to the reception area and I found out that I cannot see the furnitures anymore since it was all covered with the black smoke! Then I heard some sirens below our building, only then I realized that something bad was happening in our building.

My colleagues just left the office few minutes ago and only 2 of us (Indian guy) left in the 4th floor. I cried, I feel nervous. One guy was terribly panic and he jumped from the window and he landed to the 3rd floor, his right foot was injured. I called everybody, the watchman, my colleagues, my hubby. Our GM did not answer, Abu Naser (the owner of the company) told me that I will stay near the window so that the rescuers can easily saw me, my hubby is coming.

I horrified when I saw my hands turned into black, I managed to look at the mirror and saw my face like an African lady. I used tissue papers to wipe all the blacks but everytime I wiped it out, it turned balck again after a second. Then somebody called me from the number I don't know, he asked me in arabic if I am Sauriea, then I said yes, he told me to try my best to go to the second room in another side of the building because the ladder (fire truck? I don't know what's the name but it's a thing used to lift persons above the buildings, usually also used in constructions)will be lifted there to take us down. I told him it will be difficult for me to go there since I cannot see anything, he said try your best for your own survival. Then I tried and fortunately I managed to go there, I saw my hubby down looking above the building. Then the firemen lifted the ladder to the window in that room to take us down with the Indian guy. They helped me ride on it and I did not imagine that one day I will be able to ride in that thing! LOL :), I was afraid, I felt horrible and I was trembling! Then, Alhamdulillah, we're already down safe and sound.

I told my hubby took me at home immediately since I want to take a bath because I saw that my hands and feet were all black. Fortunately I was wearing a dark brown jacket and skirt that day, so the black smoke was not noticeable in my clothes.

When I reached home, I took a bath immediately and I saw the water running in the bath tub turns black! My hubby said I look like an African lady that time! :) Alhamdulillah for everything.

My Eid!
Topic: What's Up
This is our little Azhfaar's image while he and his Baba were waiting for me at the car on the first day of Eid Holidays.

The first day of Eid, we just stayed at home for the whole morning since it was very cold outside. We also called our family in Philippines. After taking our lunch, we went to Abu Khalifa seaside to gather clams again, we cooked the clams in the evening with beef rendang and some other foods for our dinner. After dinner, we to City Center to shop for Azhfaar's stuffs.

On the second day, we decided to roamed around Kuwait just for sight seeing, shopping and many things. We also brought Azhfaar to Future Kids at New Souk Salmiya, he was already sleepy when we arrived there since it was very traffic that day. We went home around 10 o'clock in the evening.

On the third day, we spent the morning at home to watch TV, cooked brownies and to play with our little Azhfaar. He fall asleep in the afternoon, hence he did not able to go with us when we went out. We went ot Marina Mall with my hubby and fortunately the H&M was having a grand SALE that day and I had a chance to buy the blouse that I was searching long time ago, they had it!

Eid Al Adha!
Topic: What's Up
Two days from now, it will be Eid al Adha holidays. I really miss the Eid holidays in Philippines. I miss my mother's cooking during these days, how I wish that I am there now. It's very cold here in Kuwait and I think celebrating Eid outdoors will be unpleasant. We might end up having coughs and colds or diarrhea!

While I am writing this post, I am also chatting with sister Ging in Philippines, she told me that she wil be celebrating Eid in Cotabato with our sister Ann and our father. Our mother will celebrate Eid in our hometown, Dinas, with our youngest brother Mong since she cannot leave him there, so we were all separated from each other. I am still hoping and praying that we will be together again, Insha Allah.

It's 18-14 degrees in Kuwait, I know few days from now it will drop below 10 degrees since it is December already, it's getting colder and colder and I am freezing already. :) Yesterday we went to the seaside to gather some clams with my cousin Fattoum, it was a clams attack, I never did this things in Philippines but here in Kuwait, we do it for fun and of course we want to eat fresh clams soup also. Our son Azhfaar was also with us, I just let him sit at the rocks in the seashore while we were gathering the clams. I regret that I did not able to take a picture for him since my camera was in the car. I cannot concentrate since he was always calling me when I was 5 meters away from him, lol! Gathering clams or any shells are really fun especially when there were plenty of them. We always do it during weekends or holidays when we don't know what to do at home and no extra money to go for shopping! LOL :)
