Kuwait Riding Center

It was a fine day and I got invited by a friend to visit the horses in Messilah area. 

Aside from the popular camel racing, horse racing is also a thing here. Thus, these amazing breed of horses for racing are well cared and managed by this institution. There is a huge place for the horses to move and a caretaker to look after them all the time. 

There are regular shows and competitions being hold in Kuwait to witness these horses in action. You can check the schedule here: http://www.kuwaitequestrian.com/local.php

New Riggae Highway Panning

There are times wherein you think that your world is moving too fast and time is always in shortage. Rush, hassle and bustles seem to overwhelm. But you choose to remain steadfast as you enjoy your own life pace. Cause for you, LIFE IS NOT A RACE.

Mubarakiya Kuwait City

Photowalk to Kuwait City Mubarakiya: 

It was a great experience immersing to the market culture of Kuwait. It was a great place for good products in good deals. It was still mid day and yet the place was already alive. 

I took these captures which should end up candid, but they were too friendly so the shots became staged. Anyhow, I love this place's atmosphere, it's clean and cheap. It's a MUST-GO place in Kuwait.

Christianity in the land of Arabs

I honor and respect the State of Kuwait for allowing Christians to have their house of prayer here in their country. Filipinos and other nationalities who are for Christ gather here to celebrate their faith. In a way, it becomes an outlet of our soul. We are fed by Good Words, we are embraced by Great Christian Companionship and we are reminded that we are loved.

Monthly Grocery Shopping and Budgeting

This one will surely sound a bit unnatural for most people, but what can I do since I am living in the
middle east? Roaming around here doing groceries weekly is not really a practice. And besides, paychecks
are given monthly which means that money here needs a month-long stretch of budgeting.

After months of wise money handling I realized that it is easier if all the bills are settled at the first week after salary. I always remember what my mom taught me as the basic principle of success in money matters (Salary - Savings and Investments = Expenses). But honestly, I kind of tweaked this formula a bit to (Salary - (Groceries + Responsibilities + Savings and Investments) = Savings and Expenses) <Apply MDAS rule here>

After posting this one, my mom messaged me in facebook to do juicing ASAP. 

Biryani Craze

Biryani Rice is one of the famous dishes here in Kuwait. Biryani is not an Arab food, but since expatriates especially Indians also overwhelms Kuwait, many Indian Restaurants stud this place. Block per block you can see Indian Restaurants serving this flavorful rice-based dish. Well, it became my favorite after months of gradual exposure to it. It is like I am becoming Biryaniphiliac if such word exists.

Biryani Rice is derived from the Persian word  beryā(n) which means fried or roasted. But it was believed to be first created in the kitchen of the Emperor in North India. The dish consists of variety of spices, rice (which is usually Basmati) and chunks of either chicken, mutton, fish, shrimps, egg, vegetables or even mix. I have always wanted to make my version of Biryani but the complicated process in coming up with one somewhat delay my attempt.

As of now, eating Biryani almost 3 times a month (5 times on good days) have been my extreme response to this obsession. I am actually planning to taper my Biryani obsession these coming days because truly this is the reason why I am gaining weight. Did you know that each regular serving consist 500kcal?

Anyway, I am heading to the Indian Restaurant now despite this cold weather (Let the guilt feeling sink in later). BRRRR. Come with me!
