KUWAIT NATIONAL DAY CELEBRATION PARADE AT GULF ROAD

A grand National Day Parade will be held today Saturday 25 February, on Gulf Road from Kuwait Army Officers Club till the Kuwait Towers starting 3.30pm. The roads would be closed in that area so that the parade can take place. The public would stand or sit on the pavements on either side of the Gulf Road to enjoy the parade.  Various public and private institutions, sports cars, cartoon characters and music bands will be participating. Be there really early between 2 and 2.30 pm, to find a parking spot. Take your cameras, food, water, umbrellla, raincoat and perhaps a folder chair.   As you travel along the Gulf Road, police and security on the roads will direct you, due to road closure for today.   Try to park your car in a manner you can easily take it out once the parade is over. I had enjoyed last year's National day parade. It was well organized.

Skies looked grey since early morning and now it is raining! I hope the rains stop so the parade can take place smoothly and the public can enjoy the event.

Okay, now for some pictures of last year's National Day Parade so you would get a feel of what it might be like. But of course there's nothing like actually being there and watching the parade.


















WEIGHT LOSS - ARE WE EATING TO STIMULATE OURSELVES

David Kessler

The food, the industry is selling is much more powerful than we realized. Foods high in fat, salt and sugar alter the brain's chemistry in ways that compel people to overeat. I used to think I ate to feel full. Now I know, we have the science that shows, we're eating to stimulate ourselves. And so the question is what are we going to do about it? - David Kessler

AL PACINO IN JACK AND JILL DUNKACCINO ADVERTISEMENT

When I watched Jack and Jill comedy movie, where Adam Sandler dons the roll of both Jack and Jill, one of the things I enjoyed in the movie was Al Pacino in the Dukaccino ad. Watch the ad part. I really like how Al Pacino carried off his part in the ad towards the end of the movie. I mean, the whole ad is so nice! And hey, watch Jack and Jill. It's a fun movie!

MY PICTURES FOR THE DAY - KUWAIT PARAMOTORS

I took these pictures during the Concours 2012 car and bike show last week. It's always interesting to see the paramotorists moving about in the sky. I suppose the ground beneath would offer quite an enjoyable view to a paramotorist.
