MOTHER'S DAY GIFT IDEAS

I should have put up this post earlier. Why earlier, because, some folks might be planning to celebrate Mother's Day tomorrow, Sunday March 18, if they are to follow the traditions in UK and Ireland. In Kuwait, Gulf and Middle eastern countries, Mother's day falls on Tuesday March 21, which means, for those of you who have not bought your beautiful mothers a special gift for Mother's day, you still have time. In many Asian and European countries as well as in U.S.A, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, there is plenty of time for Mother's day which for them, falls on May 13 !!!! 

Now for some Mother's Day Gift Ideas, I have cited gifts which fall in range of being expensive and those that are simple and inexpensive. Believe me, your mother would be delighted if you surprise her with a gift.  Do you know for a mother, everyday would be Mother's day....because as a mother, she is thinking about her children all the time and doing the best she can for them and her heart is filled with love for her children every day of the year. A mother's love and prayer for her child goes a long way in accomplishing great miracles.  There's nothing more she wants except your happiness and well being. Now for some gift ideas.....(and don't forget to get her a Mother's Day card).

MY PICTURES FOR THE DAY - SEAGULLS AT MARINA CRESCENT

When I was returning back to Marina Mall after watching the Extreme Sports event, I had to pass by the Marina dock where the boats are. And you what I saw...beautiful seagulls, that too so many of them. It's not easy to capture them on camera. They fly way too fast. They were flying around in circles quite close to the people. I wondered why so much activity, what's attracting them and keeping them flying for a long time in circles just in that area. Well, you would probably have guessed by now, people were feeding the birds; they were throwing chips and pitta bread pieces into the water and the seagulls were having a ball of a time. Now, wouldn't that pollute the water and eventually the water will certainly begin to give out stench. I don't think food should be thrown into the secluded water body. Anyways, the seagulls were flying so majestically,  they would swoop down, pick up the food pieces and ascend to fly, then come back for more. It was nice to watch them. I tried to take some pictures. Here's some of the okay ones I managed to take. 










HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone who is celebrating it.



EXTREME SPORTS - BMX, SKATEBOARDING, INLINE SKATING

The Extreme Sports held at the Skating Arena, near the sea side near Marina Crescent/Marina Waves was a pleasant event where talented young mean and boys displayed their free style skills on their bicycles, followed by various participants who showed their acrobatic maneuverability in skateboarding and inline skating. It was nice to watch.
