I AM A PROUD ½ KUWAITI

Why do people deny their blood? Why they are not proud of the blood running deep inside of them??? Why a man comes to me with heavy Indian accent and when I ask him where is he from he says he’s from Barcelona? Why does a Bengali man say at last I’m going to my home country and when asked he says USA? When asked if he was born there he says no just moved there 3 years ago. Why when meeting a black man playing basketball and ask him so where are you from he says I’m from the states with this heavy African accent?? Why? Why is it when an Indian guy come to chat up my friend with his horrible (English wanna be) accent doesn’t simply say I am from Indian origin but I was walk the world with an English nationality?

I know why I denied my ½ blood! I was angry! I hated my dad! So I never wanted even to think of his blood that runs in me! For over 7 years I said I was ½ Finnish and ½ black (never made it clear what black) some days I was ½ English, some ½ African, and some ½ American! But never ½ Arab or Kuwaiti!

I am a proud ½ Kuwaiti! Yes I have my issues with my dad… yes I will never be friends with him! But I’m damn proud of my blood!!! My ½ blood come from a wonderful family! They are good people… ok no family is perfect with any issues… but they are good people! Yes true I do not believe in ½ of what they believe in, but who the hell I am to judge their believes??? They are a family that built them selves from scratch! Their money was not found in trees, but they worked their asses so hard to make it! They are smart people! Their children are doctors and all university graduates! They worked hard (or most of them did) to keep their family together! They are respectful and very well loved by other families! So you are damn right to get to hear me say I’m proud to carry their blood! Maybe I will never have contact except by very few of them… but I’m still proud of the rest of them!

True I walk the ground of this earth with my Finnish nationality that I’m so proud of… But that doesn’t make me deny or less proud of my ½ Kuwaiti blood!

So! Hello! My name is Nora Cassandra and I’m ½ Kuwaiti!

THERE MIGHT BE A COLON HYDROTHERAPY COMING MY WAY!

So I need a colon wash or Colon hydrotherapy… you ask uncle Wiki about details!

I have had a blotted stomach for the last one and half year or more… I have done every diet in the book… I have been even medicated and got a camera shaved into my stomach through my throat! And nothing… I have been on detox diets so nothing that would cause the blotting was eaten for over 2 weeks… with no use… I mean I feel I have eaten a horse when I wake up in the morning… knowing I do not eat after 6pm… and when I have thought maybe it’s because I sleep on empty stomach I still got the same feeling next morning…

So I found out about the colon cleansing or wash from an ex-friend… and was confirmed by a great friend that was visiting me in Christmas time! So I went looking for in Cyprus found the closest one in Larnaca… will be giving them a call tomorrow and see where it goes from there!

In Finland and in Sweden it cost about €100-€200… so I hope nothing more than that here in Cyprus! I will be very mad if it did cost more!!!

Pray for me people!

SOME CHRISTMAS HAPPINESS AND MADNESS! :-D

So Christmas went well. Had few nice gifts… And Iida had bit too many! Hehehe!

Well my good lovely friend Anne is visiting. She is from Finland and long time friend! Great friend we are talking about!!! She is a friend of Emmi and other friends of mine too… glad to have her! As I haven’t seen her for about 3 years! And she couldn’t make it to my birthday party in October!

So we went out with sweet Kia and few other friends on Saturday in Agia Napa… we started in jasmine from there headed to Babylon and from there to car wash… and well ended in piazza then went for early morning snack at 5…

Now a story happened. Of course when Nora Cassandra is out some kind of stories has to happen… I don’t know it might be my crazy energy that attracts them!!! So… I was dancing… oh yeh moving with the grove with Anne on the dance floor in car wash, and… AND!!!! This man seems sober enough! Comes dancing close to me and Anne… ok we ignore as you get many of those… but as I was wearing my new baby look dress and my push up bra my boobs looked great… I mean amazing!!! So he was looking at them and I didn’t really care… but…BUT… he comes closer and puts his eyes like 10cm from my boobs… stairs for like 30sec… takes few steps back and looks at me and smile… now me… I did not smile… I was so pissed off how men could be so disrespectful and disgusting! So… SO!!!! I slapped! I slapped him really hard and looked at him so angry… he almost cries… and looks at me in such a shock… then leaves the night club…

Yep now I feel bit sorry for the man… but maybe next time he would think before doing such things!

CHRISTMAS EVE…

Christmas Eve… That’s the day we Scandinavians wait for all year long to celebrate so well…

This is the time when I miss my mum… this is the time I miss Emmi… miss my grandmother… miss the food at my fam’s home… miss the smell of evergreen coniferous tree or joulukuusi as we call it back in Finland… I do miss my family and friends but glad to know they are all around me with their thoughts… the love and in my memories…

So merry Christmas everyone… I love you!

2008 FORMULA 1 SINOPEC CHINESE GRAND PRIX

Number of Laps: 56, Circuit Length: 5.451 km, Race Distance: 305.066 km, and Lap Record: M Schumacher (2004) – 1:32.238

Hamilton is starting from the pole position, Räikkönen second, Massa in third, Alonso in fourth and Kovalainen in fifth… it’s a very stressing race… If Hamilton finishes first and Massa by any chance drops under the fifth then the championship will be in Hamilton’s hands from today already! And well that is for sure what I don’t want!!!

We hear that there could be rain in sometime after the race starts from the BMW Sauber’s radio… and as it seems computers in the race saying there is 40% chance of rain during the race!!!

Lap 1; Kovalainen passes Alonso and almost passes Massa… just for Alonso taking back his position in fourth back right before getting to the second lap… Kubica moved from 11^th to 8^th. Heidfeld from 9^th to 6^th. And the Toyota who’s gone off th track in the begging gets to pit…

Lap 2; Hamilton leading with 1second… Webber passes Glock and in P11… and seems Bourdais fell from 8^th to 18^th… new nose for the Toyota…

Lap 4; Trulli is back in the pit climbs out of the car…

Lap 5; Hamilton leads with over 2 seconds… doesn’t seem that the Ferraris will be catching up anytime soon…

Lap 6; Bourdais passes Sutil now in P17…

Lap 7; Webber passes Barichello and runs now in P10…

Lap 8; Räikkönen seems to be pulling up and getting faster… he is keeping in touch with Hamilton while Massa seems he can’t keep up… and there seems Kovalainen might be having a prob… but still not clear!

Lap 9; Rosberg is stuck behind Glock fighting to take P12… Hamilton fastest lap again…

Lap 10; Webber passes Piquet… and Räikkönen takes over the fastest lap…

Lap 11; seems the sot tyres warmed up on the Ferrari at last… Räikkönen seems to be catching up and taking one fastest lap after another… from over 4 seconds between the Finn and Hamilton to 3,7seconds…

Lap 13; Rosberg passes Glock finally… Webber pits goes with softer tyre in 7.6s… Hamilton and Räikkönen almost the same pace now… and Hamilton takes the fastest lap back from Räikkönen…

Lap 14; Massa is getting faster…. Replay for Piquet’s off track brief incident in the final turn… seems Ferrari ready for a stop…

Lap 15; Massa pits… Alonso right behind him… Massa stays on softer tyre and Alonso changes to harder… Alonso rejoins right behind Piquet and Massa rejoins in P7… Hamilton pits…

Lap 16; Räikkönen right behind Hamilton in the pit… Hamilton stays with harder tyre and in a 9.4s stop… Räikkönen goes harder tyre in a 9.3s stop… Rosberg pits… Kovalainen leading… Replay explains Sutil’s back in pit as seems smoke coming from the back of his car…

Lap 17; The first stops are playing in Hamilton’s advantage…

Lap 18; Heidfeld makes first stop… stays harder tyre and takes 8.3s in pit… and rejoins in front of Glock.

Lap 19; Kovalainen pits from lead… 10.3s and harder tyres for the Finnish… Vettel pits and keeps harder tyre in a 10.7s stop…

Lap 20; Barichello pits…

Lap 21 Massa still seems to be in the back not catching up with the leader, I’m not sure the soft tyre was a good choice for him…

Lap 22; Räikkönen is getting faster than Hamilton… And Renault telling Alonso that Kovalainen has more gas and will run at least 6 laps longer than he would…

Lap 23; it’s showing that Kubica is taking the chance and might be going for the one stopper on this race!!! Very difficult if that’s his plan! Button P12… Hamilton seems to have a good adjusts on the front wing and easing away from Räikkönen…

Lap 24; Bourdais pits.

Lap 25; Piquet pits from P6… Massa’s speed seems to be improving…

Lap 26; Kubica pits… stays on harder tyre in a 6.7s stop… that means he is a 2 stopper!

Lap 28; Räikkönen is getting closer to Hamilton…

Lap 29; Coulthard makes his first stop from P9… Fisichella pits too.

Lap 30; Räikkönen is half a second closer to Hamilton because of the traffic that slowed Hamilton a little!

Lap 31; Räikkönen hits traffic… Now he slowed down while Hamilton got his act together…

Lap 32; Nakajima finally makes his stop which seems to be his only stop… Webber is in the pit also… Bourdais is in P14 after passing Coulthard…

Lap 33; Glock is the last man to stop… Hamilton leads now 8s…

Lap 34; Kubica is in P7 now… and we hear Renault or the radio telling Alonso to push more… and Alonso doesn’t disappoint them and pushes to get a better personal lap…

Lap 35; McLaren ready for stop… the plan must have been for Hamilton to go in, but Kovalainen’s front right tyre punctured and it was Kovalainen in pit… rejoins the race in P17…

Lap 37; Alonso pits from 4^th takes softer tyres in a 7.8s… Massa pits and take the harder and gets out after a 7.5s stop and rejoins in fourth…

Lap 39; Hamilton and Räikkönen pit… both change to softer tyres… Piquet makes his second stop…

Lap 40; Heidfeld pits from P2… Hamilton leads… Bourdais and Rosberg pit…

Lap 41; Kubica pits…6.2s stop and takes the softer and rejoins in 7^th… and we see the gap between Räikkönen and Massa getting smaller… he will have to give his position to Massa for the points…

Lap 42; Vettel pits, Kovalainen makes up to P16…

Lap 43; Massa is very close to Räikkönen who will not make it hard for his team mate to pass him…

Lap 44; Button makes his second stop…

Lap 45; Kovalainen and Webber fighting for P15… and Nakajima and Bourdais fighting for P13…

Lap 48; the game has to played right… as it’s not allowed any more to be given your position to any one even if it is a team mate… so that is what taking Massa a long time to pass Räikkönen with now is less than 2s close…

Lap 50; Finally Massa passes Räikkönen… Kovalainen pits for third time and park in the garage…

Lap 51; Alonso is closing up on Räikkönen…

Lap 54; Alonso sets a personal best lap as trying to chase the podium!

Final lap; Hamilton leads and seems to have slowed himself down so no chances for any accidents… will he be the champion of 2008???

Hamilton in first, second Massa, third Räikkönen and Alonso in fourth… and Kubica finished in 6^th which means he is out of the title!!!

A MINUTE OF SILENCE IF YOU PLEASE!

If you read this I wish if you would give 1 min of silence to the lives lost is the horrifying school shooting in Kauhajoki in Finland! It happened yesterday 23^rd of September…

Next day… missed my F1 … as I had to joined friends for lunch and bowling… in this new place called flamingo… I was impressed!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR EEVA

Sorry as I will not be posting about the F1 tonight but I will do it by tomorrow after I see the repeat as sadly I will be out at the time of the race! But I’m writing this post to say few things I need to say to a lovely woman!

It’s my mother’s birthday today! Yes a lovely strong woman I know! EEVA… she keeps saying that the day she saw my bottom and breathed after hours of labor and smiled saying: it’s a girl!!! She keeps saying how proud she for having a strong woman like me for a daughter…

Well I really want to say this out loud… I’m nothing of a woman if it wasn’t for her! This woman went through hell and still walked out with head up and strong as any woman can ever be! This woman had her daughter kidnapped from her, lost her for 15 years with quite few hopes through out that period of time that made her think that life is coming back to her, just to loose it again… but she kept strong, what if that girl would show up one day on her door step!? And so that little girl did one day, but she was no little girl anymore… she was a woman and a mother herself.. she was lost, and didn’t know what to do! She was weak and she felt so lost even when she was over 20… so the next few years this amazing woman keeps teaching her lost girl how to be strong like her… if it wasn’t for her and her love, strength and advice her little girl would have grown to be as wise as I am today!

I love this wonderful mother of mine!!! I am so sad I can’t be with her today… even though she knows I am with her with all my heart as I was for in the 15 years I was forced to be far away from her! At least I was able to send her a lovely leather Gabor hand bag and some hallumi and Cyprus sausages for her to enjoy! I am truly lucky and honored to have Eeva as my wonderful mother!

FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO DE ESPANA TELEFONICA 2008

Length of the circuit: 4.655 km – the number of laps: 66 – with a race distance: 307.104 km and the lap record: 1:22.680 – Felipe Massa (in 2007)

First pole position for Kimi Räikkönen this year… and first time this year for Alonso to be in the top three to start!

From first lap yellow flag and the safety car were both slowing down the drivers as the result of Vettel and Sutil’s colliding… and both were out from the race.

Lap3; safety car went in… Räikkönen, Massa, Alonso, Hamilton, Kubica were the first 5 leading the race!

Lap 5; showed Piquet and his off going into the gravel, and to rejoin as 18^th place. I also saw Michael Schumacher in the Ferrari control station.

Lap8; Piquet off the track again but this time he stops.

Lap 10; and all I see in Kimi Räikkönen flying in the front and increasing the gap between him and the other pilots. And just to make a new fastest lap record with 1:22.508.

Lap 13; amazing show from Räikkönen just to break the lap record once again with 1:22.178.

Lap 14; we see Hamilton trying to push to get the 3^rd position from his former team mate Alonso.

Lap 15; Kimi Räikkönen finishes it with 1:21.971. And keeps me with huge smile!

Lap 17; Alonso pits from 3^rd position, meaning he was with a light tank and that shows the reason of his 2^nd position in the qualification! He gets out with full tank that should keep him going for at least 30laps… the surprise for me was the choice of soft tyres as I think it’s a risk taken for the 30 laps strategy. And on the other side was Räikkönen breaking the lap record again with 1:21.827.

Lap 20; Massa pits from 2^nd position and Räikkönen pits from first potion right after him.

Lap 22; the young Finn; Kovalainen has a horrible accident on the turn 9… I can’t understand what was going on as they talk in Greek, and all I can do is worry and almost cry! He flow in over 200km/h speed from the turn to the tyre barrier and got under… I couldn’t see and it wasn’t clear what was happening!

Lap 26; with safety car still out, Barrichello driving with his front nose hanging off his Honda.

Lap 27; I was able to relax and concentrate on the race again as I saw Kovalainen carried up and showed his thumb-up to the crowd. And replay showed how his front left tyre broke and lost control on the turn!

Lap 28; safety car was in…

Lap 31; Heidfeld gets a stop/go penalty for going in the pit when pit line was closed earlier under the safety car.

Lap 32; Trulli and Rosberg fighting for 8^th position. And reports are coming in saying that Kovalainen is stable..

Lap 34; Heidfeld pits to take his penalty.

Lap 35; we saw Alonso’s car stopping and flames coming out of the rear of the car. He gets out disappointed and climb to give his fans some hand shakes and gets back to be taken to his station.

Lap 40; I see Hamilton pushing hard to get a faster sector than Räikkönen…

Lap 42; Rosberg gets a smoking car and stops from 7^th position and as he stops right on the other side of the wall from the pit, he just climbs the wall and walk to his station.

Lap 46; Räikkönen once again breaks the lap record with 1:21.670.

Lap 47; Massa pits from 2^nd position and takes harder tyres. And Räikkönen pits right after him… coming out, Räikkönen 1^st, Massa 2^nd and Hamilton after them in 3^rd.

Lap 48; news comes about Kovalainen is taken to the Barcelona hospital with a yellow helicopter ‘I just liked the colour’…. For more check ups.

Lap 49; 9 pilots are out, but the battles still continues on the circuit…

Lap 52; Nakajima and Glock pit.

Lap 54; Glock pits to change the nose and Coulthard gets his rear left tyre punctured…

Lap 61; even though the race is almost over still we see Coulthard and Sato fighting for the 12^th position.

Lap 63; Sato makes it and passes Coulthard.

Last lap; ends with Räikkönen in 1^st position followed by Massa in 2^nd, Hamilton is 3^rd, Kubica in 4^th and Webber in 5^th.
