The Butterfly Effect

"Le Battement d'ailes du papillon" starring Audrey Tautou (also known as "Happenstance") is a movie about chance, "what if's" and the dynamic change of events happening from one instance to the next.. how little variations in one's life can lead to changes in another person's life.. all within 24 hours.

The movie does get confusing at times, as 20 peoples lives collide and intersect throughout, but between Audrey's whimsical charm and the karmatic notions in the movie I couldn't help but love it, a very entertaining watch.

Flying Solo

Sometimes its good to have a moment alone, no BBM, no friends around, no distractions. And just reflect. Reflection is an important part of growth, of making sure that you are where you want to be and that you're on the right track. That you're "neutralized" as we used to call it back in the flying days, always make sure the trim tabs are in neutral position.


After all, its all about balance.


Its about making sure that your core is where its supposed to be, centralized and adjusted to suit YOU. Your life, your values, your beliefs. How you decide to live your life, who you need to be in it and in whatever direction you see it going.


Its about finding what works for you, and making it happen.


So take a moment, step back and look at the big picture every once in a while.

Its totally worth it.

On nail soaks and manicures

I just had THE best mani in Dubai. After the usual cut, buff and file I was presented with "Soak Opera". A selection of nail soaks that work like magic! My nails looked and felt so good after that I didn't want to polish them and ruin it xD


Soaks include: Herbie (herbal treatment), Fizzy Lizzie (refreshes), Dirt Buster (cleans), Dairy Fairy (whitens), Gell-O (scented crystal soak) and Preppy Polisher (shines).

I tried the dairy fairy and my hands smell heavenly!

Kosebasi!

My friends always raved about Turkish cuisine, how authentic and yummy their Kabab's were and what a cultural experience it was to eat in Turkey. However, I never made it to Turkey. Not yet anyways.


Kosebasi, pronounced "Koshi Bashi" is a new Turkish restaurant which opened in JBR recently. It was voted as one of "World's 50 Best Restaurants" and was awarded as "the best representative of traditional Turkish cuisine". It was also cited as "the best kebab restaurant in Istanbul" by Time magazine (according to their website).


The place was well decorated, the atmosphere welcoming, and the food delicious. We tried the traditional kabab and Turkish shawerma, which is cut in sheets and served with yummy traditional bread. We finished off with a Turkish dessert and of course, Turkish coffee XD. It was as close as I would get to eating in Turkey, we loved it!
