Adobe as most of you know is a great company, and they thrive to achieve customer satisfaction in my opening. their new product was launched few days ago and it’s call Photoshop Express. Basically we are talking about a lite version of photoshop that is web-based. it does the main things in photoshop and it also offer the customers 2GB of storage, all that for $0!

I’m not a photoshop user my self but i’m sure alot of you out there will be all over a product like that. I just tried the Test Drive they have on the website and it’s pretty simple and also fast, I expected a long loading time but that didn’t happen either

Good job Adobe… Enjoy it people

This is how it looks..

I never imagined how hard it is to find a job in this country, and trust me .. qualification, enthusiasm, interest, and hard-work doesn’t really make a difference. For the past 3 months I have been doing an internship for XYZ company in Kuwait doing the one thing I love to do and I’m not going to disclose that because once I say it it will be obvious which company I was interning at. for the 3 months that I attended they haven’t seen anything but hardwork, interest, and giving from me. which I have to say it was greatly appreciated by the people working with me and my supervisors.

But this wasn’t the problem, and me working there for an extention of 2 extra months unpaid wasn’t the problem either. The problem is the upper management which from some reason decided to keep my application on hold for no given reason even though the department requires more resources.

So now I realize i’m hanging out at home unemployed looking for a job. and that is one hell of a job by it self.. I sent my resumes out for alot of companies, in and out of kuwait, with no clear response yet. So now I started the modern way to see if that helps, I started applying through recruitment websites which I found useful honestly but non effective yet. here is what I have been using lately:

1. Gulf Connexions
2. Monster Gulf
3. E-Financial Career
4. Albourne

If anyone have more suggestions of what I should do please go ahead and share it. I’m very interesting in Hedgefunds.

Jordi Labanda is a Spanish illustrator and designer from Barcelona. He is known for his images of chic, sassy and stylish urban girls.

A few years back my friend got me this file which had an amazing drawing of a girl on it, and i thought it was artistic, and very unique. So i started collecting files, notes, pens,

and all stationary necessities that i could find whenever i went abroad, till they started selling them here in Kuwait. So then i stopped collecting.
Last summer while shopping in spain, i noticed they had Jordi Labanda T-shirts, which ive never seen anywhere before! so i searched for it, and found that their website alone was incredible. not only the products, but en the design as well. Soon enough ill have the whole collection!

Check it out,

Kenny G..Such a talented musician. I absolutely love his songs. They’re the best for relaxation. Though i dont know why some people say he sucks! If u havent heard him play i think you should.
One of my personal favourite is “Dying Young”. I think its very peaceful, but that’s just me, so tell me what you think people ;p

I’m here to complain about the weather!

i’m going to try to list things that can’t be done if the weather is like this…

1. Drive your new black car even if you wash it every other hour. (it will chip the paint also)
2. Fishing
3. Water sports
4. Sit outside
5. See the sun
6. Breath well
7. See well
8. Not have allergies
9. Eat (your food will taste like sand)
10. Enjoy your weekend damn it !

Please add to the list.. you never know.. the sand might read this and decide to leave us alone!

Is it just me or banat el deera ekhtarbaw? Why is it that wherever i go -even while in the car- i witness some shocking incident that just makes my blood boil?!
Let me tell you about it. A few days ago I somehow managed to wake up early enough to attend my 8AM class -which is an achievement believe me-. I get in the car, wear my sunglasses to cover my puffy eyes and drive ever so slowly to the university. Imagine my surprise when on the way i notice this girl next to me driving some kind of convertible, she was met7ajba, wearing full makeup, singing, dancing, and SMOKING ! I literarily stopped in the middle of the street just to stare at her! i don’t normally do that but i just couldn’t help myself at that moment. i thought she was high. =p I wonder what she looks like when she dresses up or at night if that’s how she is in the morning! ;/

Another thing i saw today was something that am kinda used to seeing by now, (girls eraqmoon guys bl street!) I seriously don’t know what to say about that! What the hell is wrong with those girls?! it really pisses me off! I mean if u wanna get to know the guy OKAY, just don’t do it in the middle of the street in front of everyone! and PLEASE don’t ever try tossing your mobile into the car next to you just cause the guy driving it is cute! (i didn’t know why she did that btw, and i still don’t) but it’s just lame. Sometimes i find myself following them around just to see how and where it all ends ( Maybe i should get my camera next time =p )
So that’s just a couple of things i thought id share with you. Feel free to say what you think, even if you disagree.

Few weeks back I purchased my 2008 Honda S2000. and it’s time to review it.

Specs:

• Approx. 240 bhp produced by a 4 cylinder (the fastest 4 in the world from what I know)
• Rear wheel drive
• Manual transmission
• LSD (limited slip diff.)
• Rear park assist
• Convertible
• TINY

Pros:

• Alot of fun to drive.. fast.. handling isn’t bad but I have my comments about it in the cons.
• Great gas mileage if you keep the RPM below 5K.
• Adrenaline hits when V-Tech roars above 6K RPM.. the car just pulls!
• The shifter is short.. you don’t need a short shifter, really!
• Only takes 2 people at a time*
• Easily modified if you are into cars. and parts are widely available on the internet.
• 9K RPM.. for those who understan, you know what I mean!

Cons:

• Even though the suspension is pretty good compared to other stock cars you can feel alot of body roll when you hit the corners.
• since it’s a convertible air leakage from the soft top is just annoying especially above 120 Kmph
• Speakers aren’t that loud and the sound of them can be over come by the air noise at high speeds if volume isn’t too high
• Only takes 2 people at a time*
• Low RPM (before V-Tech point) are weak.
• Breaks are not like the ones I’m used to in my BMW
• Staying below 5K RPM during the break-in period was tough!

What I decided to do is:

• Since the suspension is good but not great, I decided to go ahead and order the KW V3 racing coilovers kit (which I used on my BMW and loved) can wait for this to arrive .. it’s already in my Aramex box
• Air leakage should be solved with C-wing carbon fiber hardtop that I also ordered (35LB.. talk about weight saving!)
•  Lastly I ordered the Invidia V3 Single exhaust with Test pipes… couldn’t resist not getting few extra horses.

Whats next:

• Probably wheels.. some lightweight 18’s, either BBS, HRE, or O.Z.
• Cold air intake (until the warranty expires)
• Sway & strut bars to make sure track day is alot of fun
• Big break kit (probably the first next step) most likely the slotted Stop tech.
• 4-2-1 Headers
• Minor body work (lip, and a trunk lid maybe?)
• After I do most of this things I will eventually go FI and install a Turbo with all the necessary items and officially call it a day on project #2

and this is my new baby taking a bath in the dealership after the 1st service and about 5 minutes before it saw the 9K RPM!I will update it once I install the new parts or find new pros and cons
