Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
I LOVE reading GulfWeekly’s film reviews. Journalist Kristian Harrison has been spot-on so far and I can’t wait to read more of what he has to say.
’TIS the season to be jolly … unless your house almost burns down. On Christmas day, a friend of the Whisperer spent hours in the kitchen preparing a massive meal for guests to enjoy.
She and her husband made sure that everything was taken care of from food to presents and even played music videos in the background to ensure guests were put in a merry mood.
They even pulled out a shisha for smokers to share in the living room but not without placing an old rug underneath to protect their brand new hardwood floor. In the midst of the festivities, one friend accidentally spilled charcoal all over the rug.
A group rallied together to save the day, leaving behind a couple of burn marks the friendly hosts were not bothered about. After a few minutes, there was a burning smell and the host jumped into action when she saw a big piece of charcoal had made its way onto the hardwood.
CANDIDA Correya was chosen as the winner of Sheraton Bahrain Hotel’s special New Year’s lunch for two at the all-day dining Al Safir Restaurant. We had many correct answers – Bahrain World Trade Centre - but Lady Luck smiled on Candida. She can collect the vouchers by calling director of marketing and communications Cristalyn Pastrana on 33288008 or 17533533.
I AM a coffee person. There are a multitude of health benefits associated with the consumption of coffee, which include boosting metabolism, fighting depression and protecting your liver.
As someone with persistent headaches, coffee also manages to alleviate them. Thank you. Coffee also has magical powers of keeping you awake at 7am during a working day. You slept at two; you need the caffeine boost.
However, there is a nasty downside to the rose-tinged, hyperactive world of caffeine: the eventual crash. After a few hours of alertness, your brain starts to steadily get foggier.
You’re moving a little slower, people are talking a little louder than they need to. Before you know it, the effects of minimal sleep are showing. It’s just one o’clock in the afternoon.
You have to resist reaching for your next fix. However, I succumb, because work needs to get done, and coffee tastes awesome. Not that Frappuccino stuff - that’s basically a dessert - but honest, freshly brewed coffee with a splash of milk.
Coffee makes the world go around. And, everything in moderation, right?
