As you can see I decided to buy the i-Pod Touch based on the overwhelming recommendations on this blog and from speaking to friends. Bought the 32GB version from Alghanim for KD112 (I had a KD20 voucher so paid KD92)- they threw in a free Philips CD/radio alarm clock (which also has a connector for the i-Pod but no snooze button !!) and a KD 5 voucher which I used to buy the (apprently essential) rubber case to protect the i-Pod. Read on for my first impressions of the i-Pod Touch
Who said hardcore English football fans are not romantic ? Looooool !!!
I’ve never been a fan of American Football and to be honest I don’t really care who wins the Super Bowl, but I do look forward to seeing the TV commercials which are shown during the breaks of the Super Bowl game. They are known to be some of the best that come out during the year. I haven’t had the chance to watch every single commercial from last Sunday’s 2010 Super Bowl but here is my pick of the top 5 that were shown
Starring Betty White (who I am sure most of you remember from the comedy show The Golden Girls), this one plays on the American Football theme with the message that if you need to play like a tough guy you need a real chocolate bar
It’s been a bit quiet this week in terms of posts, but here is this week’s song. It’s the first song off Norah Jones’ latest album and its called “Chasing Pirates”. What I like about it is Norah Jones’s wonderful voice which makes a simple song brilliant. The proper video starts 27 seconds into the clip by the way.
The Dubai Jazz Festival starts next week and looking at the line up, I’ve got to say there are some pretty impressive singers performing. The pick of the bunch has to be James Morrisson, but David Gray has some brilliant songs and I’ve been listening to Laura Izibor’s great soulful album for a while. So if I was going to pick one night to attend, it would be the last night (19 Feb).
Regular Tickets for each night are AED 275 with front seat tickets a pretty reasonable AED 575.

After years of resisting the iPod – I have decided to make the switch. (I have a Sony MP3 Walkman which I bought a couple of years ago and a Creative player before that by the way) . The switch is long overdue I hear some of you say. Yes, I would agree. It all started when I was uploading songs on to my friend’s iPod Classic. Just loved everything about it from the iTunes software which I used for the first time to the ease of choosing songs on the iPod itself to all the accessories available.
So i decided to use my KD20 voucher from Xcite electronics towards buying an iPod. But which one? I don’t want the Nano or the Shuffle, so I am left with a choice of the slightly cheaper Classic with its massive 160GB (total HD of my laptop !!) or the iPod Touch which “only” has 32 GB ( or 64GB for extra KD50), but is touch screen and has Wi-Fi.
What do you guys think ? iPod Touch or Classic? Guide me oh wise experienced iPod users….
This week’s song of the week is the latest song from the group called One Republic who had a huge hit with the song Apologize. This song is called ‘Secrets’ and I like the combination of drums, violins and guitars. The story in the video is funny and cool.
Last weekend I went to P.F. Chang’s Kuwait for the second time for dinner. The first time I thought it was pretty good, but wanted to go again before I wrote a review. As I’m sure a lot of you have already been to this restaurant this is going to be a shorter restaurant review than the others – you could call it ‘bite-size’ review :)
The big difference this time round was that it was busy but there were tables available. Last time I had to put my name down at 7:30pm as it was full and had to wait half an hour ! I suppose the newness and novelty has worn off a bit. Read on for my review on the food and overall rating
Keeping on the shoe front, check out this very latest commercial for Nike football boots. Its different from other football commercials which can be very cheesey. It uses a great music track, has a clever cameo appearance by another famous footballer doing the ‘mixing’ and of course stars my favourite footballer :)
This is one of the first shoes out from the Emporio Armani-Reebok partnership and its called the ‘Mega Chic’. Hate the name but love the look of the shoes. Its basically a classic Armani leather shoe that has a sporty touch with the special Reebok DMX heel and sole. I could see this going well with a suit as well as jeans. The downside is that they won’t be available until July and from Emporio Armani stores only.
One thing’s for sure, they’re definitely a lot better than the last shoes I posted about ! [LINK]
