30 minutes of :inconvenient truth
Her I am bloging in an illegal time: it is break time :P We are just about to watch the next 30 minute :P Anyways, the first 30 minute really affected me. As I I was in the bus yesturday I was thinking about stuff that I can do inorderto help the world. Actually , I was thinking about projects that I or any politician can do. However, I could find no ideas except for personal things that I will do hopefully. I am really sad about the situation in which the world is in. Still, I believe that the main the reason for global warming is that we all and I say all meaning all of us still look at the problem as a movie. We still do not realize that this our world, and that we are the characters in this movie. Instead, we, as I said, just keep watching. Yes, we may feel sad for the situatiojn, but we do not and will not do anything because we forget everthing once the lecture, the movie or whatever it is ends. And do you know why? I will tell you: in mty situation, after I left the computer lab, I was still living, I was still in the university, my friends were there, and everything I needed was in its place. So, those stuff made me forgot the whole problem. And this is what happening to all people.
The break is over, We are going to watch the movie now:P that's all.

Building constructions
don't know why, but I like constructions. Taking it metaphorically or generally, I like constructions. What I mean by Constructions is that I like to see and to know as well to how to build a building for example starting from the beginning with choosing the design. I don't like architecture though. May be what I like most is the interior construction: building the sealing, walls and the decoration. However, house construction is just WOW for me. I like everything about except for the money and paying part. I bet that building houses is such a great period of time especially if someone is building a house for him/herself. I feel like I am long wended and pointless when talking about this topic, but I will continue to write about it :P SO, house constructions in Kuwait VS house constructions in Canada or lets say, in Calgary. In Kuwait an average house size will normally take no less than a year to be completely build; I mean interiorly and exteriorly. If you are saying HOLLY COW because you think that is too much, then let me explain it to you DEAR READER. In KUWAIT all (and I mean ALL) houses are made of concrete, and there is no use of wood except for the "inside designing". SO, basically it will take longer time for a house to be built. Just think about it. You have to wait for the concrete to be dry. Even though I think that we use concrete because it is so hot in Kuwait, people her tell me that concrete makes it even worse. It keeps the heat. However, may be because concrete is much stronger. Anyways, if people are not in a rush, they will probably take another year to collect money( just building the house costs lots of $$$$$$$$) so that they can buy furnishers and appliances. On the other hand , her in Calgary, it takes about 6 months to build a house. Probably a year to move in. Her everything is usually made of wooooood except for the basement. If you have ever seen the show :Extreme Make Over" you will now that it can take just 24 hours to build house and decorate everything. From this comparison to my first subject which is liking constructions. Whether it is a concrete house or a wooden house it doesn’t matter to me . I like house constructions anyway. I really like to sit with anyone and listen to him (usually just "him" because the "her" does not like talking about the constructions" telling me about everything about the house starting how they build, and why they chose that spot to build a house. All people agree that building a house takes a lot of effort. Yes, the owner is not participating with the actual building but he/she is usually following with builders to guarantee the best work done. I know that it has been a long blog, but my point is or actually my question is: "Is it worth while to build a new house by your self? or buying a readymade house is better?
I can Actually blog about the answer :P But I think it is the matter of wanting the house to be as you want and as you wish or just a house to live in. Sometimes people buy houses but they actually just want the land may be because a couple of years later it would be much more expensive. Therefore, they live there for quite a bit until the house becomes ruins and until they collect money to rebuild the DREAM HOUSE.

Mixed English
To us, english learners, one of the way to practice our listening skills is to watch movies, listen to musics and so on. May be through doing these activities we are learning how to speak as well. Anyways, the way to learn through these activities is catch up some vocabularies, and see the way the actors or singers are pronouncing. However, I think that right now there are two main "type" of English. There is the British English and there is the American English. Yes both of them are English, yet there are some differences in pronunciations, spelling, meaning and the use of some words. Examples: Often is pronounced with a silent "t" in American English; however, the "t" is pronounced in the British. As for the spelling, red, blue, green and yellow are "colours" in British English, whereas in American English, they are "color". Moving to meanings "subway" is an underground road in British English. In American English, it is a restaurant!! hahahahahah just kidding. I can't actually remember an example of meaning differences. Anyways, in Canada, we use a combination of both. We can say that both English are accepted. So, when it comes to us, we are more likely to have English that is a combination. As I mentioned, when watching Harry Potter, for example, we may learn how to pronounce a specific word. And when we watch Spider Man, For example, we may learn how to pronounce another word, yet this word may not be pronounced the same way. Therefore, when we speak we will have a combination of both Englishe"s". I have been into many situations when people would correct my English because it is not pronounced this way in this place. Last time I went to TRAVEL CUTS I was pronouncing DIRECT with a strong "i" and the agent was correcting my "DIRECT" into a soft "i" Anyways, I am sure that many of us has been into similar situations

KUWAIT TOWERS
Her I go,......
since everybody has been writing about their country, I think I should do the same; to write about KUWAIT (q8). To be honest, I am writing this blog about Kuwait because many students especially Loreta has been asking me to write about q8. She and many other students told me that they know quite a bit about q8, so I am writing about it. I think I will be today describing a place in q8 called: KUWAIT TOWERS.
I don't know when actually they were built. However, I do know that they were there when I was born :D
q8 towers consist of three towers: the big tower with two balls, the one with one ball, and the one with out any balls!! So, I guess you are wondering what they are. The tower with two balls has a restaurant, cafe, and a VIP hall as I think or maybe two restaurants and the other restaurant can be a hall. Anyways, the restaurants are in the big ball and the cafe as well as a souvenir shop and are in the smaller ball. The smaller ball, however, has a moving floor that means that when standing on it you will be turning with it
The other tower with one ball is just a figure. I think it keeps water. And as for the thin tower with out balls I am sure that it controls the electricity around the area. So, now whenever I talk about my visit to Kuwait tower I mean tot he restaurant. I went there many times. The food over there is very delicious. One of the restaurants has a buffet and the other has a menu. Both of them are great and expensive. Usually, most tourists will go there to have meals whether breakfast, lunch or supper. And then they will go up to the smaller ball to enjoy the view of the city and the sea because the towers are located near the beach.
