Ready, Headset, Go!

Congratulations people... you, who get extremely annoyed on the roads by cars almost crashing into you because the driver is talking on his/her cell phone. Affective of May 1st, everyone has to abide by a new law that forbids people who drive their cars to talk on their phones without using a hands free system or a headset. It's a great move by the Minister of Interior. If Kuwaitis decide not to break the law, this would lower the accident rates, hopefully.

I remember since last year when I bought my car, I used my hands free bluetooth system to talk on the phone. It was very convenient for me, and at least I got both my hands on the steering wheel. But whenever I stopped at a red light people would stare at me like I was a crazy person talking to myself. Those people were either very old men or ones who had nothing to do with technology. I got a bit cautious of the way I look, so when I felt that someone was staring at me while I was on hands free mode, I'd switch it off. 

Now, I guess with the new law, I'd have no problem looking like I'm talking to myself while driving. I'm not going to be the only kook on the roads of K-Town!

DRIVE SAFE! 

The L Word

Love Shmove! 

I've learned from Blockbuster movies and top TV shows that when two people are together and suddenly feel a strong attachment to each other, they have to build up the courage to say "I love you." Okay...so it's a bit dramatic onscreen, and I don't know if that's what happens in real life. Maybe it's easier if there's no camera rolling or millions of people watching you in Theaters all over the world. 

I've heard stories of people saying the L word without meaning it... instead, they wanted to fill the silence while on a date or so. Is it necessary to say "I Love you" in order to move forward in a relationship? What if, someone has a difficulty in expressing their feelings, but shows that they love the person in front of them with certain actions and gestures? We -the ladies-, are stereotyped as being so emotional, but I for one, would want to do something sentimental to the person I love. I don't really talk about my emotions, but I hope if a guy comes along, he won't dump me for not playing the "Love you" card. Well, maybe at a spur of a moment I'd say it, you never know! 

Love, according to Britannica means: 

1. Strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties

2. Attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers

So Don't say it unless you mean it!
