                                                          The two strange twins 

In 2009 , my first year in high school I had my two amazing friends Dana and Dalal . Dana and Dalal are twins and both of them were my friend.Actually they are my friends till now I keep contact with them . Dana and Dalal has a lot of difference and similarities between them.

Many girls in our high school didn't know that Dana and Dalal were twins until they get to know them.And that's mean that , the difference between Dana and Dalal are more than the similarities.The reason that most of the students didn't knew that Dana and Dalal are twins is because of their looks.They are totally looks different .Dana is long enough and once she told me that she 165cm tall ,while Dalal is shorter that Dana a lot .Unlike Dana, Dalal is fat .So imagine Dana is long and thin , yet Dalal in short and fat , how can these students notice that they are twins .  Dalal has different style in clothes than Dana . Dalal wears a scarf on her hear to cover her hair which we called it in arabic "Hejab" , whereas Dana doesn't wear a scarf . Dana looks more beauty than Dalal . In school they are totally different . Dalal is a hard working student . Dana usually like to wear clothes with light colors like pink,baby blue,yellow…etc , but Dalal loves to wear dark full colors . Dana always like to care about her looks and fashion , while Dalal dress well but not like Dana she is not crazy about fashion . She is usually get a high grades and become the first or the second in the school . On the other hand , Dana usually has a bad grades and I remembers that once she failed in the math class . Dana likes to have a lot of friends . She almost knows every single girl in our school , different to her sister which Dalal . After graduating from high school and because of Dalal's high grades she joined The Engineering school in The Kuwait University which hard to be in The Engineering School back in Kuwait , but Dana joined The Business school which we called it in Kuwait "CBA".There are couple of differences in there personality . Dalal is more patient than Dana . But Dana has more confidence than Dalal . 

Although their are many differences between Dana and Dalal , Their are some of the similarities between them , after all they are sister and twins at the same time . Both Dana and Dalal talk in the same way . They talk in a high speed , sometime I have to say to them to repeat what they just said . Dana is very hyper girl , likewise Dalal. They like to talk all the time none stop.Usually the teacher say for them to stop talk , and they just talk again and again . They are both helpful and ready to help any time.Once you asked for a help they come fast to help any girl even if they don't know her.Not only Dana has big eyes , but Dalal also has big eyes . Dana and Dalal like to know more and more people . They both are so friendly .

Finally, I think Dana and Dalal should not be twins , because they are really different more than they are similar . They are differet in their looks , shape and the most important their personality . Most girls know that they are sister when they read their full name . But I love them both because they are really valuable friends.

Online ads..

Now days online ads attract many people . There are many kind of online ads . The most online ads that get my attention are the fashion ads . The fashion ads , where all the brands post there advertisement . These kind of online ads attract me , because I love buying my clothes online and I'm kind of a shopaholic girl . So every time I enter a site of some brand to buy online , there are a lot of ads that get my attentions . Sometime they say in there ads that they have a big sale , which is a good thing to get a sale in what you will buy  . And sometime their advertisement are just a pice of lie . Every time when I get to a specific brand , they shows in their homepage the stylish design that they had , which is a good way to advertise their product . In short, I would say that I like the way that the fashion ads get my attention online with their product.

                                                      My three favorite vacations
Vacations are important to people so they can have good times and be away from their work or studying to relax. I have visited many places with my family and friends . But my best three vacations were in Dubai, Sharm Alshaikh and our Chalet .

In senior year in most high schools there and a lot of activities. In my senior year we had a senior trip which was traveling to Dubai. This trip was my best vacation ever. Most of the students traveled and we were a lot, we were around 100 students. And most of them were my friends so we had fun in every place or activity we did. One of our activities was having dinner which we called "Senior Dinner". Some of the student reserved a restaurant before so they were sure that the restaurant was booked all for us. We had our dinner in an African restaurant which is called "The Meat co.". They really had great meats and burgers, I specially liked the spicy fires. All the student and I booked in one hotel so we can be together. The hotel was beside The Jumera Beach, and it is an amazing beach. The beach was full with interesting water activities like banana, doughnut , and jet sky. We had fun doing water games. We also tanned on the beach. Girls loves and admire shopping, that's why we all shopped together. Also we had sleepovers each night so we can have fun.

My second vacation that I really enjoyed is when I went to Sharm Alshaikh three years ago. I traveled there with my family. I love traveling with my family a lot because I feel more comfortable . We were seven persons so we were enough to have fun. As you know Sharm Alshaikh is famous for its beach. There were a lot of waters activities that people can enjoy. My brother and I really loved it when it comes to try something new and adventures so were tried most of those games and some of them were really dangerous . We tried the parachute, banana , and a small jet . The sea is really clean and blue. You can see the colorful rocks under and sea.At night we went to "Naama Bay" . Naama Bay is a street were cars are not allowed there, you can just walk .This street is full with restaurants and traditional shops . Every day after we finished from the beach we go to this street and try new restaurant . And the weather is better nice at night there specially in October and November.

I enjoyed the rest of my vacation being in our chalet . Our chalet in Kuwait in AlKhairan city. There is a lot of chalets there for different families ,because this area in Kuwait is know with it beach in the summer season and it great way to camp in winter season . so when we had a winter vacation we go there enjoy the cold weather by camping in our chalet area . In summer we went there to enjoy setting in the beach . Sometimes we raced by our jet skies .The most thing that make me feel happy in these vacations when i'm in the chalet, that my whole family is there in the same time . So I can enjoy being with my cousins .

In short, I think the most vacation i really had enjoyed my vacations that was in Dubai with my high school's friends. Because it happened once a life which is traveling with your friends and have good time.

  The red color can enhances the appetite ,because studies prove that it affects the human body by produces a chemical , which increases your heart rate and your appetite.They easiest color for the eyes to process are the pastels color specially yellow . That's why most of the shops use yellow to mark sale items , so they can attract people to buy from them .

Healthy food is a bad food

Many people like to eat healthy food ,so they buy them.But a lot of companies sell healthy food after adding a lot of chemical,to keep the expired date longer.Many healthy food cannot be as healthy as they appear .
Salt substitutes many be not healthy every time . It makes kidney problems . Also it effect badly with some heart and liver medications.The artificial sweeteners like gums and candy which has fewer calories can effect negatively to people .Eating a single pack of gum cause bloating and stomach pain.Diabetics find that sugar alcohol can raise their blood sugar.There are more food that are not healthy to people which is trans fat, wheat bread,fiber,yogurt,super water and omega3.These food can turn the normal person to a sick person.They might effect on many part of the human body.Sometime they may not hurt you but also they may not help you as much as you think .

How is my house and my neighborhood looks like ?

  A house is where a person lives . To me , my house is where all my childhood memories were formed . It is hard to describe my house and neighbourhood in a couple of words . How it sounds , smells , and look like . I live in a neighbourhood called Alandalus . It is located in the north eastern side of Kuwait . It is a very quiet neighbourhood , because it is still new and new houses are being build every year . So we don’t have a lot of neighbours , but they are adding as the days pass by . The best part of the location of my house is that my best friend is my neighbour . Most of our neighbours don’t have little children who play outside , therefore it is not noisy . My neighbourhood is decorated with nice flowers that smell like perfume . Palm trees are in every corner as well . But inside my house the smell is different . It smells like the Arabic smell which is bukhour . Sometimes I smell my mother’s cooking which I admire . And as for how my house looks like from outside , it is a three story white house with a big black door . It contain 8 bedrooms to fit my siblings and I , each of us has her/his own room . We have a garden where my niece and nephews can go out and play safely . It has a swing , a slide , a trampoline , and a very nice pool with a hot jacouzy . This is how my house and neighbourhood sounds , smells and look like . I miss that place very much and wish to be back there as soon as possible .
