8. jewaira - July 29, 2006

Sorry dear I am not a matchmaker. And if you are married, I would certainly advise taking care of your present wife rather than searching for another load to carry.

9. Imran - November 4, 2006

hahahaha, nice one Jewaira, go man , love your present wife, and if she is annoying then tell her, but yes bring her flowers and some nice sweet cake and she will be your lady.

and a small card , and inside handwritten that you love her.

and if you are to horny , well you can always use the floppy drive ;)

10. Imran - November 4, 2006

Maryanne_b????

11. jewaira - November 4, 2006

Imran
I constantly change my Flickr feed. In fact I have changed it 3 times in the past 10 days. Whatever strikes my fancy or interests me. Anything.

12. Imran - November 6, 2006

Ok, be a good girl and don’t change this one i like it, especially, that photo in which the man and the lady and there dog is present.

It makes me remember some one special.

13. Fons Moonen - December 9, 2006

Jewaira, (myVirtuallove)

14. jewaira - December 10, 2006

Fons you are very sweet. Here, I am sending you loads of sunshine :)

15. Fons Moonen - December 11, 2006

It is so hard to find a girl as smart as sensetive but now I find Her.
Did you ever experience a north-European autumn?
So you sunshine gift is realy generous.I will cut it in 90 pieces.For three months. Day by day a little bit.In March it will be better.
It is good to look an read for your daily interest .See so soon on P.C.screen Jewaira. My warm regards for you.

16. Fons Moonen - December 11, 2006

See so soon hattobe See you soon.

17. jewaira - December 12, 2006

Fons, no I’m afraid I have not experienced a northern European autumn but I know that it can get pretty dark all the time.

Kuwait is beautiful at this time of year. It is the way we are rewarded for sticking out the hellish heat of summer (May to September)

18. Fons Moonen - December 14, 2006

Jewaira,When I take a look on the map of the world an made a straight line from Kuwait to the Netherlands half the way You will find Istanbul.
So our thought’s will meet there above the city free in the sky.
Just above Istanbul I will get the answer if it is my imagination,
or it will be your intention that the letters you wrote have some
electric magic.Sweet dreams my Virtual Virgin.

19. Mark - December 15, 2006

Yeswaira.

======================

You are so sweet. Hope you are still enjoying your “sabbatical” leave :)
Jewaira

43. Fons Moonen - June 10, 2007

You’re just a good energy, forever my hart ! I like this form of save scribble.
My own illusion of love will be-come true.
Let’s forget our body’s and stay in words like love’s and sweetie’s in do’s and don’ts.
In words like question, music, shopping, sunshine, happening, photograph, Hendrix, dessert flower.
Let stay in words like Nefertiti or Dora Maar.

=============================================

Keep coming back dear Fons :) Love your little words and ideas.
Jewaira

44. Fons Moonen - June 13, 2007

Yes, I will.

45. Fons Moonen - June 16, 2007

on 10 june. In a hurry I write heart the Dutch way(hart) but you will understand by sound I think.

Yes of course I understood :)
Jewaira

46. Fons Moonen - July 9, 2007

It is so boring over here. The papers, television the people, everything talks about the new addiction ” an inconvenient truth.”
It makes a lot of money go round like any other addiction.
I have an inconvenient truth myself…but it is to personal.So I do not talk about it.Al together, nice weather.

=================================

What is your inconvenient truth dear Fons? Tell all :)
J

47. Mushaakes - July 9, 2007

The fan club. May I apply?

=====================

So you have discovered where we have our secret rendezvous? ;)
No need to apply. The Boudoir is open for all and most especially to people like you. Make yourself comfortable.
Jewaira

48. Fons Moonen - July 10, 2007

Open doors ? open minds ? open books, ? No no no, I have to keep some secret’s.That’s were we longing for.Long-legged secrets.

====================================================

long legged secrets sounds interesting and can be interpreted in different ways Fons.
Jewaira

49. Fons Moonen - July 10, 2007

because they are long legged they always before me I never can catch them, they walking, running faster.Thats how they stay secrets or daydreams if you like.

======================================

Good one :)
Jewaira

50. Fons Moonen - July 10, 2007

I already share emptynes and the illusion of love with you, so no more secrets.
Otherwise I have to crack down the Gilbert and George wisdom : “All my live I’ll give you nothing and still you ask for more.”
An to answer your question from april 3 ,I am experienced.

=============================================

So experienced persons must share their wisdom with other less experienced souls ;)
Jewaira

Jewaira

53. Fons Moonen - July 23, 2007

O.K. The only way to be is to go.
Breathing flesh looking for company,
thats all we are.

========================

And I am so glad you are in our company tonight dear Fons. Is it raining where you are?
J

54. Mushaakes - July 24, 2007

Some times, breathing flesh is looking for breathing space.

Amen, I say to this.

=========================

Interesting words.

I am always looking for breathing space.
J

55. Fons Moonen - July 31, 2007

O.K. A very complex system to keep an illusion alive.

=======================================

True, but we need fantasy sometimes to take us away from our day to day lives.
J

56. Fons Moonen - August 4, 2007

After an wet wet start now it is like the weatherman tell on television.
After the weekend the sun will shine, an yes it happens. We are after the weekend the sun is shining an the girls are good looking!

Friends start to be jealous.That stand for:real love is in the air.

========================================

Love is in the Air
It is a beautiful summer day.

Come on everybody on to the Magical Boudoir Bus :P
Jewaira

63. Mystique - August 15, 2007

I prefer love in any other season but summer! too hot!

=====================

Summer love is wonderful Mystique.

You reminded me of the film Against All Odds. I wish I could find the clip of the hot encounter with Rachel Ward in that film.
TRAILER LINK
Jewaira

64. Mystique - August 15, 2007

But well each season has it’s own taste and aura ;)

=======================================

I think my favourite is love in winter.
Or perhaps in autumn (like where they have that season :P )
I would like to be in love in Paris in the spring.
Jewaira

65. Fons Moonen - August 15, 2007

I prefer love in the air…

=================

Me too Fons
Jewaira

66. Fons Moonen - August 17, 2007

How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You…Bijou……Bonjour…

======================================
Bonjour Fons
I rather like the name Bijou…hmmmmm ;)
Jewaira

67. Fons Moonen - August 24, 2007

…Your presence is a 3 & 4 dimension…

================================

Greetings from my humble lil island Malta, where there’s a cool breeze accompanying a scorching sun :)

==========================================

What would my blog be without Jan6a peering in every now and then?
We will bring the Magical Mystical Boudoir Bus to Malta and you can drive it for us around the island.
Jewaira

69. Fons Moonen - September 3, 2007

One more answer on 56 ?

Feel the Flowers die sometime
the Roses in the room
the Fleshlys in the street
the Lilys in the field
(where have all the flowers gone?)

==========================

Fons
I don’t know what Fleshlys are; is it a type of flower?
So is it the end of summer there for you?
Jewaira

70. Fons Moonen - September 6, 2007

Cimos (International Language Services) translate English to Arabic.
The last two weeks weather change autumn. The best way it is ever expressed (autumn in the low-lands) is by Jacques Brel in Le Plat Pays. My favorite “mind-song” the coming weeks.

Love the song Fons. Here is a link with English subtitles. You’re lucky it is turning to autumn where you are. Here in Kuwait, it is still extremely hot.
Jewaira

71. jewaira - September 6, 2007

Fons
I love this rendition by Jacques Brel of Ne Me Quitte Pas
Jewaira

72. Fons Moonen - September 7, 2007

Thank you for the links, if you look -Mijn vlakke land- you see what I see this days.

On they age of 14/15 we go on Saturday (free from school) to the department store where they sell the gramophones, always ask for Jacques Brel. The girl who work there like to do so, kindly smile,for half a year, good memories of those days.

So I grow up by Brel and always return on autumn. I already noticed “your hellish heat” in Kuwait.

For cold you can cloth yourself, what for the heat?
Is it clear to you what the fleshlys are?

Remember another thing by now, a T shirt some weeks ago. Turquoise, in the middle, heart heigh an old black record with the account in white letters :

MUSIC
Sounds better
with you……..

=========================

Fons
Thanks for the Dutch version , that was what I was looking for initially I guess.

In our hellish heat, we hide inside in air-conditioned rooms :P

I still don’t know what fleshlys are. Sorry.

Very interesting site Fons. Thank you for sharing.
Jewaira

74. PseudoRandom - September 7, 2007

is he talkin about fleur de lys?

======================================

No, we finally found out it is FLESHLY
Jewaira

75. Fons Moonen - September 7, 2007

When I read the Book of Translation (1962)
Flesh’~ly, vleselijk, zinnelijk, means:
carnal,sensual, sensuous, voluptuous.

============================

OH DEAR!!! I’m so sorry Fons!! Of course you meant fleshly and I do know what that means. I feel like such a fool! Lol! Sometimes the answer is so simple but we look for a difficult solution.
Jewaira

===============================

Fons
It is also time for the Twin Rosas of summer to go now and they will be replaced by another banner :)
It is always my pleasure to see you here.
Jewaira

79. Fons Moonen - September 12, 2007

Ban the the banner, love the new one!

=============================

It is the Ramadan banner ;)
Jewaira

80. Fons Moonen - September 15, 2007

it seems a good “inner-peace-question” to me ?
- Un captif amoureux - does it say ‘anything’ to you ?

=======================

Dear Fons,
Jean Genet again? Or am I wrong? :)
Jewaira

81. Fons Moonen - September 17, 2007

Saint Genet as he was named by J.P.Sartre.
For some reason I have to think about hospitality, on your blog.
You see, it is a curious/serious fun for me to find out what the difference/similarity is (can be) between a sunny grown up girl and a grey cloudy me.
The most “Arabian” hospitality that I experience was in Morocco (1983) for 4 weeks.
So,…hospitality, how little niche’s globalize, how to complete a portrait with mosaic stones.
Prisoner of love is about Black Panthers and P.L.O. the freedom movement and so much more. One of the “key-parts” in this beautiful book is the hospitality Genet experience from Hamza’s Palestine mother.That’s why I ask my dear.

==============

Yes, I know
But it is an interesting correlation by you dear Fons who may come from a grey cloudy place but your heart is full of sunshine
Jewaira

82. Fons Moonen - September 18, 2007

Dying is easy it’s living that scares me to death
I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath
Cold is the colour of cristal the snowlight
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

Cold.ANNIE LENNOX.Diva.

===============================

Beautiful, Fons :)

I am looking for a good teacher :D

=========================


Heheh, I think just enjoy your bicycling now Fons on the beautiful Dutch shores.

What’s the weather like these days? Here is hot and sunny. We are still waiting patiently for the cooler season. I do hope we have some semblance of a winter this year :)

Jewaira

86. Fons Moonen - September 23, 2007

The last 2/3 weeks a splendid summer-after-party is going on in the sky, tell you more the end of the day, go out to bike now :)

=====================

Hope you had a lovely bike ride :)
Jewaira

87. Fons Moonen - September 23, 2007

Today the real last summerday !

One of the best clouddesingers is working here in Noord-Holland.Really !

The clear intense and glowing light-bleu arise because the land is surrounded for three side’s by water, the North Sea and the IJselmeer.

The sunlight reflection from the water will give a special intensely sparkling silver to the going one move from rude grey till subtle bleu.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

Al this movements and forms from the last two weeks change in to a monotonous autumn grey.

We, missMoonen and me make Lgaimat yesterday, Swair recipe, it taste very good. The lemmon flavour in the syrup is a nearly unknown delight. Some higher honey sometimes.

====================

Wow Fons! That is just great! I love that you made lgaimat. You should have taken a photo and shared with us :)

So glad you enjoyed the last day of summer. May your days always be full of the appreciation of nature’s beauty.

Jewaira

88. Fons Moonen - September 24, 2007

Thanks for the good wish. It is a blessing to live out of the city in free nature.

Lived in the city for 45 year. Easy speak “take a photo”,… I’m already happy, that I can answer a telephone and put on T.V.

It is all going too fast for a lazy person like me. At last the computer was installed for the children! :)

But,… will grow into it.

Today in Vomar super-market, bought: 20 TULIPA Single late Queen of Night.

ENG.These flower bulbs can be planted from September until December.They are easy to flower in the Spring, store dry and cool until planting.

==========================================
The tulips sound lovely.

The computer was installed for the children or for you :P ?

Jewaira

89. Fons Moonen - September 25, 2007

Yes yes, for the children!
I’m an old fashion book reader ! :)

========================= :P
OK

Send us some tulips with you in the spring time then!
Jewaira

90. Fons Moonen - September 25, 2007

By the time I can make a photo an send it to you, the tulips are from mid Asia,maybe more nearby than the Lowlands,can I send the children when they waffle for use the computer? :D

—————

You see! Heheh, I know that you are competing with the kids to use the computer aren’t you!!!

You have to take turns don’t you?

Send the children no problemo :)
Jewaira

91. Fons Moonen - September 25, 2007

Before I send the children (LOL) thought mysellf let’s have a Country vieuw and what do I read,…”It appeared in a Dutch map dated in the mid-17th century, the earliest know map showing present-day Kuwait as al-Qurain”. So our forefathers have already something common, that is why I feel so familiar by you. ;)

=========================

Yes!! :)

The cartographer Isaak Tirion drew the first Dutch map , which showed Kazima as a main port overlooking the coast, in 1732. Kuwait in Historical Maps

92. Kevin aka Seymore - September 25, 2007

Hi,

I read some of your post and I see that we have something in common.

1. We both write to release our feelings and to keep our sanity.

2. We both have a passion for poetically expressing our wants, needs and pains.

Please have a look at my other web page and read some of my Blog/poetry and songs.

Good night

(like a privateer on coast :) ) I need to know !lol! Did you walk on the Green Island ? Did you drink coffee on Liberation Tower ?
I realy love Al-Hazra what a beauty.

=======================

Yes, I enjoy walking around Green Island and I was just in Liberation Tower this morning! But no coffee as it is Ramadan ;)

Al-Hazra? Al-Hathra is a traditional way of catching fish by luring them into the trap and then fetching them at low tide

Jewaira

94. Fons Moonen - September 26, 2007

O.K., by Kuwait in photo it is spelt as Al-Hazra. Kuwait in Historical Maps. Good information !

===============

Fons
It is probably simply a difference in dialects.
We’ll continue to share information here. You’ve got great ideas.
Jewaira

95. Fons Moonen - September 28, 2007

Thank you for recognize :D

One of the most tasteful idea I’ve got this time is about the end of Democracy and grow in to a useful form of Anarchy.

A lot of Paper-T.V discussion here in Holland is about how to arrange society and keep your (own?) identity.

Wherewithal they mostly mean how to fit Islam in Dutch society.

Give you some Dutch fun before it start serious. :)

Thanks for the amusing link Fons

…some more fun…
…dutch-comedy…
Cinema.nl Kort-Turkse Chick
…YouTube…

==================

Very interesting clip Fons. The boy is so much younger than her. Is it his imagination at the end?

Jewaira

97. Mushaakes - September 30, 2007

This is such a fun place to visit.

=========

Welcome here Mushaakes :) hehe or were you referring to Fons’ links?
Jewaira

98. Fons Moonen - October 1, 2007

It is nice to change/share the unseen, in daily life.

=================

Fons
I appreciate all your interactions here :)
Jewaira

99. Mushaakes - October 2, 2007

Greetings Fons Moonen.

I have a question for you, if you don’t mind.

I followed the link you put in Comment 95 above and found this cartoon:

I found the cartoons ok, but this one I found interesting:

http://www.sigmund.nl/?p=home_eng&l=eng&d=10

which says that supposedly Muslim children are either stealing or worse. I wonder if that is a common feeling in the Netherland!

By the way, I am just asking being curious, nothing more.

Thanks

100. jewaira - October 2, 2007

Hey what happened to the sigmund site? Fons do you know anything about it? Says under construction

101. Fons Moonen - October 2, 2007

I think they working on the Sigmund site and it wil be soon as possible back in “the air”.

If nothing change the end of the week I will ask the publisher.

————-

Thanks Fons
J

102. Fons Moonen - October 3, 2007

Mr Mushaakes,

It is an honour mr Mushaakes, the cartoon you mean is about the prejudice that is common for a (small?) group in society.

For the last 40 years the Netherlands grow as an immigration country. Generally the Muslim children are from Turkey and Morocco.

Before Roman Catholic and Calvinist will be the most important group now these days Islam is getting an influence in/on society, and as an “not western European” phenomenon it can give some trouble.

Something like Kuwait for the Kuwaities. It can be difficult sometimes.

with a friendly greet,
Fons.

=======================

Fons

The cartoon clip that Mushaakes referred to shows Muslim women discussing the trouble their children are getting into. Similarly, the Turkish Chick clip youreferred to shows the young woman in a negative light (promiscuous)

Is there a feeling of rising antagonism now in the Netherlands towards the increasing number of Muslims in the population?

What about crime rate amongst Muslim Dutch?

Jewaira

103. Fons Moonen - October 4, 2007

Jewaira,
The Cinema.nl clip is a COMEDY. I can not tell you if it is his imagination at the end, only can tell you “it is a comedy”.

I never see the young woman in a negative light. She rule her own (sex) life, that is o.k. to me.

Beside that I see here like some portraits by Johannes Vermeer or as the Birth of Venus from Sandro Botticelli.
She is an outstanding beauty !
The other question is more complicated. I will answer you at the stoplight,I do not like to have it in front of Contact.

=============

Well the girl is gorgeous no doubt about that :)
Jewaira

104. Fons Moonen - October 6, 2007

No link for Vermeer and Botticelli ?

OK Fons will do that :)

3- I would love to learn. It is my desire!!

Jewaira

109. Fons Moonen - October 15, 2007

Thanks little by little can mosaic your portrait. :)

I ask for the sailing because I have read the Kuwait history and find the sailing stories from the past.

I sail a lot with friends in the past, I do not know 2 too

and like to play Chess with you one time. :)

One other question, my dear queen of Chess.

Talking about gorgeous…can you give me when possible some more information about the YouTube movie from: Pinkyaa Added August 27, 2007 03:39. All the information is in Arabic.

What the group is where they singing for ? I am really astonish by the beauty from this all.

=================================

Please link to it Fons because she has over 300 videos :)

Jewaira

110. BuEbrahim - October 16, 2007

hey there I’ve discovered your blog only recently and i must say its both daring and entertaining.

I especially like your short stories some might see them as offending but I see them as innovative and edgy.

Though I was thinking to myself it would be great if you could some in Arabic every now and then, meaning in Kuwaiti dialect.

Those stories are nice as they are don’t get me wrong but I think having some in Kuwaiti would add to the diversity of experience and make it more colorful. Anyways thanks for this amazing blog and keep the good work up.

========================

Thank you for your words of encouragement BuEbrahim; it is always a pleasure to hear feedback from readers. You are right that some stories would be better told in the Kuwaiti dialect and I may consider that sometime in the future but I can’t really say that it would be any time soon.

Always open to suggestions for stories (ideas and real situations) as well from readers .

Good one, Fons.

You have learned about one favourite fruit and staple of Arab diet.

What fruit do the Dutch like to eat?

Jewaira

116. Fons Moonen - October 18, 2007

Beside the forbidden fruit we have: apple, orange, banana, mandarin, avocado, kiwi, stawberrie, melon, pear, grape, pineapple, mango, fig, date,…
What we cannot grow ourselves, we import from sunnier and warmer countries. My personel favourite is grapefruit, the red one.

========================

I think the red grapefruit tastes amazing especially the one of Turkish origin.
Love papaya too and mangoes and pomegranates, juicy figs, and….
so much to choose from!
Jewaira

117. Fons Moonen - October 18, 2007

I believe the 21st century will be a world without art in the sense that we have it now.
It will be a world without objects, where the human being can be on such a high level of consciousness and has such a strong mental state that he or she can transmit thoughts and energy to other people, without needing objects in between.
So there will not be sculptures, or paintings, or installations.

I need Neptunian energies conducive to a creative environment. Hopefully soon :)

Jewaira

158. Fons Moonen - May 19, 2008

dear Jewaira,

(a letter)

When I walk in to the back garden, I say ‘hello Harry’ to the fig-tree that is standing, growing there.

‘You are doing well’.

It is gonna be his fifth fig summer here in Holland, and his height reaches my nose. My I.D. say : 1.82

Four years ago, Harry gave me fig leaves on clod.

Two years ago old Harry passed away at the age 84. He was ready for it; lived his life, it was good, to the end.

We have seen each other,ourself 35 years back in time. When I stepped in a central city cafe, he was standing, leaning against the wall, a Professor in vagabond disguise. He can be both. boozy boon. motherless child.

Once together, now and then, we share life as a free fall into something that is bigger than us. He recommended to me The Book of Secrets and we liked to play chess.

A Gentlemen. Never any complaint or nasty remark. Harry was the owner of a very solid wisdom and an Opel Commodore.

In the south of France his wife A. and Harry had a second house.

It was for sale.

At the age seventy-something and near to eighty it is a difficult journey, two or three times a year from Gothic City to Lezignac, near Narbonne. So the house was sold.

By that time Harry asked me if I wonna have something to remember the house. I wrote back that I would really be pleased to have one leaf from the fig-tree on the end, the corner from the house, where the landscape start. He did, more than that.

One of last times we have seen was in Amsterdam. Half the way Gothic City and the village where I breathe. There he was, standing, outside the station, two plastic shopping bags beside…flowering… as always.

‘ dear Fons…I bring you…’ with a rascality grin and farmer fingers he open bag one; Inside,: fig leaves between carton and a bottle first class Calvados.

Bag two contain fig leaves in South French soil.

To sit down shady, the tree in French the first time, was an endless experience. In two minutes I close my book and read no more.

A figment,figleave sound ‘n story go on and on in this area. The Valley of Wind.

a restless rush roll to tomtom, lonesome into melancholic..dripping..raindrops..waves…with a sea shore sound disappear in a whispering mumble from 10.000 lost souls…a still hunt…crumple paper news…fulvous silky,silent…a reverence than. a hammering Bach bagatelle for clavichord pass on to end all up in a great roll of applause itself…

Here in the gault, this summer for the first time side figgy-twiggy’s grow out, eye-high in all directions from the three forked stipe.

Complete, shy, little leaves, foliate speechless for absolute green curved moments

Ready to catch a ripe falling fig.

So my dear it take some time, but now I know,…

‘ask my questions to the moon, get my answers from the fig’

Stay steady, go with the wind.

(with love)

Fons.

========================

Thank you for sharing that with us dear Fons. I hope you enjoy the fruit of that wonderful fig tree and listen to Harry’s wisdom as his soul shares special moments with you.
Jewaira.
