Some of The Things I Love About Ramadan In Kuwait
- The scene of people giving away food and money from their cars to less fortunate people on the streets.
- 2 hour less working time.
- A somewhat quiet and subdued country by day. Literally no car after the rush hour and weekends. I feel like cruising around this country appreciating the wide paved road and the greeneries, feeling the crisp clean wind on my face. Ha.ha.
- I'm not sure if it's just me, but I notice that people are nicer and kinder with each other during these days. Some said locals will be in a disgruntled mood due to lack of food but I disagree. My neighbours who usually ignores people are walking around the block chit chatting with others.
- The laid back mellow music. If I'm answering a meme about my kind of sounds, I'll tell everyone to listen to 99.70, everything they're playing since Ramadan started is my kind of music. I'm a 90's kid, what can I say. I prefer lyrics that I can actually understand and relate. Not those screaming sexist profanities that they usually play on normal days. I have to admit that my bouts of good mood these days are due to relaxing good music.
I am not gifted with musical talent, heck the GreatOne snickers at my attempt to sing because for the life of me I cannot memorize the lyrics of a song. Any song. I can mimic, I can chant and once in awhile I try to wrestle the karaoke microphone but I can't sing nor tell you a title of a song or a name of an artist to save my life.
Therefore, when I say good music, I meant sounds that transports me to my happy place. Right now, the stuff they're playing are the hit songs during my school days. I love my school days. Therefore, for the whole month of Ramadan, I will be in my happy place.

Well, I like the times during the evening when the streets are empty while I am on my way home. The whole road is deserted and I don't feel as though I'm a participant trapped in the Indy 500 Speedway. Btw, do you have a name I can call? AnaFilibini sounds too clumsy! :-)
Al: Hi Al, the name is Mackay :) Empty streets are heaven to traffic hating us. I especially love friday morning joy rides. Kuwait is at it's best during friday mornings.
Gee - for a proud Pinay, your name sounds too "Western". Nevertheless, a name is a name is a name...Friday morning joyrides? In this hot weather? Be careful, you might end up like melted popsicle on the asphalt!
hahahhaah 90s kids were funny! I was one of them hahahahah ugly ugly clothes and hairstyles
Is your happy place joinable? I wanna join!
Al: Yes a name is a name and it's not pronounced w/ a slang therefore the a's go with the very pinoy abkd. My aunt christened me the name while I was a toddler. Thank goodness she didn't call me bakekang. It's actually not that hot on mornings these days and it's breezy too. Try it along gulf rode. It's great.!.
L: But not uglier than the 80's style though! You're a 90's kids? That firmed up my suspicion that all 90's kids are weirdos in one form or another. hehe. My happy place is open to all who could bear me. :) After all, it's my happy place. You're welcome if you can.
^^ nice blog!! ^@^
