Twerk- Arabian Gulf Style

I had posted on Twerk style before but now it has totally blown up after Miley Cyrus did the Twerk at the VMA the other day. I don't think her version is as good as the Gulf style Twerk and they have been doing these kinds of dances for years.
WARNING: A lot of butt shaking going on.

Much better than Miley Cyrus. These kinds of Gulf dances are usually held on the down low at underground parties and sometimes weddings.

Mandatory military service for Kuwaiti citizens required once Again

According to Kuwait Times:
 
KUWAIT: Recently some MPs proposed approving conscription law in Kuwait. This draft was proposed about five years ago, but after the political situation in the Middle East witnessed turbulence, this proposal was highlighted again at the parliament session. The proposal reinstates mandatory military service in Kuwait after Kuwait’s parliament suspended obligatory military service in 2001. According to this draft, conscription is necessary for Kuwaiti men aged between 18-35 years of age, who will have to undergo military training and serve in one of the army’s units.
 
University graduates will have to serve for nine months minimum, while those without a university degree will serve for a year. This law will exclude students of courses from the army, Ministry of Interior, National Guards, Fire Department, or volunteers at these institutions. Among the ones who will be excluded from enlistment are single children, the oldest sons and brothers of martyrs. Joining service may be delayed for a year if the man is the sole provider at home for his parents or if his mother is divorced or widowed and is dependent on him.(link)
 
It wasn't a big deal for the older generation, my husband had to serve his time and went on to attend college. But I can't see it going so easy for the new generation, can you imagine all of the spoiled kids these days having to learn how to shoot guns, attend boot camp and getting dirty? It could be a requirement for females as well, I don't think they make Prada military boots, sorry ladies. This is something to look forward to.

Grafitti Rampage

The other day when I went to work I noticed a bright spray paint spot on the tag of my car and on the car covered next to mine. I guess someone went on a highlighter colored graffiti rampage, I'm lucky I got off with a spot. Today I noticed a Chrysler covered in the spray paint, at first I thought it was a flame design, well no it was spray paint.



That really sucks, people these days have no respect.

Smashburgers new Philly Burger

 
 Smashburger has a new campaign; Road trip to taste the USA in which burgers representing selected states are introduced for a limited time. The Philly burger is the most recent stop on this road trip and my sister says it kind of reminds her of an IN-N-OUT animal style burger, she should know considering IN-N-OUT was her first job. She really knows how to make hand cut fries! The burger comes with American cheese, grilled onions, mushrooms and spicy mustard and it was great. I never knew making a burger out of pretzel bread would be so good.

 




I had to have the Oreo shake and my sister tried the IBC root beer float bother were amazing.
