The Filipino Magazine In Kuwait

Going to Kuwait City on a Friday isn't the smartest idea in the world. Aside from the congested traffic, lack of parking space and throngs of hundred people milling about everywhere going nowhere, it is also the day where weirdo's have their field trips. Oh yes it's true, they engage you in a conversation even if you pointedly ignore them, they follow people around, they smack your butt and other horror stories you could think of. Not to all, but there are a lot of them there on weekends.

That's the shady side of Kuwait City weekends though. The perkier side is good finds such as this:
I honestly thought that this circulation has been snuff out a year ago. Apparently, I was mistaken. I quick call to some Pinoy Mafia reaffirmed what I already know, that this Filipino magazine was indeed the old one albeit reformatted. They used to call it "Kuwait Pinoy", like that website Q8 Pinoy . I have no idea if the two are closely connected aside from the name though.

I was ecstatic to see that it's finally out and is on their 5th issue this year. I wish this kind of media be made more available for all Filipinos, not only in the city, but all throughout Kuwait. As a Filipino I am proud to see that we are making our stamp in our adopted country.

I am also thrilled that I was invited to be a contributor. Teeeheee. >:P

Haha. I absolutely have no idea what you're trying to say except for maganda which translates to beautiful.

As for the other words - WHAT?!

Could they be:
Magandang Umaga? = Good morning
and
Pagbati? = Greetings

before i took my vacation, a friend gave me a pinoy magazine circulated here in Kuwait.. not sure though if that is "the filipino magazine" i'l check when I got home.. and if it is the "The Filipino Magazine" and knowing that you'll be a contributor..then I have no choice but to mandate my friend to give me a copy for every publication.. heheh ..

as for our friend's comment above: I think what she is trying to say is "maganda tinggalan" - could it be Magandang Tingnan or Magandang Tanghali?..

"pagbat pagbat" - pagbati (greetings)

lestat: Yey! You're back! The pinoy kuwait bloggers are now in full force na! Hold your horses muna on the magazine, I was so busy this month I procrastinate on sending an article. Haha. Maybe next month. But coerce your friend nevertheless, they're very hard to come by considering the limited circulation.

I figured she was saying something along that line. Just can't help but give her a hard time. Hehe. Thanks and welcome back!
