Nakhweh.com - 3rd beta version

Amman – Nakhweh.com team launches the third beta version of the website dedicated to link volunteers with opportunities to volunteer. The new version comes a year after establishing the initiative under the slogan “Connecting hearts to change the world”.

Kamel Al-Asmar, a co-founder of the initiative, says: “The update includes new initiatives, such as (The Blood Channel), which aims to build a database of blood donors, to be informed in cases in need of blood, using all channels of social media, email and cellular phone.”

Ideation Box

Ideation Box

It has been ages since I wrote a blog post; it’s not because there is nothing to write about but it’s my claim of being so busy. Any way, June 6th 2010 marked the first anniversary of my startup Ideation Box and I was planning to write something then but it didn’t work for me so now I’m putting everything here in one chaotic post.

“What’s Jordan?” Because of “Sandra’s new adopted son”

Filed under: Life, Politics — Tags: , — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 4:34 pm

In her video accepting the visionary award of YouTube (November 2008), Queen Rania spoofed David Letterman with 10 reasons of why she launched her channel against stereotypes on YouTube, 9 of those reasons are funny ones and one of the 9 is: “Because I was tired of people thinking Jordan was just a basketball player…”.

Three weeks in USA, I always make my way down to the lobby from the 18th floor. In that long journey everyday I meet new people, being in a hotel will tell them that I’m at least from another state if not from another country; that what makes the question: “Where are you from?” something that I used to hear all day long.

من برة رخام و من جوة…

Filed under: Life, Religious — Tags: , — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 10:02 pm

عشان بدي اكتب هاد العنوان قررت إنو رح اكتب بالعربي هل مرة. وصلت على أميركا قبل اسبوعين و بلشت من العاصمه واشنطن و بعدين على هيوستن، طبعاً هدول مدينتين معروفين. بعدين اكتشفت اني رايح على مدينه اسمها سينت لويس بحياتي ما سمعت فيها و بس وصلت هناك عرفت ليش عمري مش سامع عنها.

سينت لويس مدينه ما فيها الفشخرة تبعت باقي المدن إلي بعرفها أو شفتها، يعني ببساطة الجماعة مفلسين و عباب الله. لفيت كتير و زرت مدارس، جامعات و شركات و بآخر يوم رحت أقابل مجموعة مجتمعين بدهم يطوعو بحديقة عامه عشان ينظفوها و يصلحو شوية شغلات بس إلي فاجأني إنو مش هاد الهدف الأساسي للاجتماع، هدول مجموعة مسلمين، مسحيين و يهود بجمعية لحوار الأديان. طبعاً الموضوع بالنسبه إلي كان كتير غريب خصوصاً بعد ما قالولي إنو بهاي المدينه كان المسلم أو اليهودي ما بطلعلهم يتعالجوا بمستشفى مسيحي (يا فرحتهم)، يعني يموتو الله لا يردهم.

This is how youth are engaged!

Filed under: Life — Tags: , , , , — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 7:45 am

As  co-founder of Nakhweh.com I arrived to the United States on the 9th of April to participate in the International Visitor Leadership Program by the Department of the State under the title of “Volunteerism: United We Serve” with 104 people from more than 80 different countries. It’s my first visit to the USA; in general I like the country and the way it’s organized, also the people are very kind and friendly (I didn’t expect it though) but for sure it’s not the right place for me to live in.

Things I have learned as a “little” business owner!

Filed under: Life — Tags: , , , , — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 10:43 pm

It has been seven months now since I co-founded my first venture Ideation Box on June 2009, before going through the launch of Nakhweh.com, passing by the Ideation Labs and finally the process of establishing a new Multimedia and Animation House, Sketchat Creations! Well, that sounds too much for a 25 years guy with only 2 years of experience, but it doesn’t sound too much for me at all as I always act before I plan (which doesn’t sound good for a lot of people).

They are sharing their bra colors on Facebook… repulsive!

Filed under: Life — Tags: , — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 7:11 am

The Jordanian and Arab girls reached a very shameless limit in ignoring all traditions and islamic values by sharing their bra colors on Facebook in front of all their friends (including men)! I was wondering all the time why those colors are posted on the girls’ status on Facebook until I found something on Google that explained it.

Example 1

Example 1

Example 2

Example 2

Putting the values and the traditions aside, the madness of those girls made them believe that this is a breast cancer awareness campaign as it’s promoted globally. I can’t see anything in such a campaign more than the abnormal stupidness and the ultimate violation of our community and honour (as usual)!

Couple of months ago, I posted on this blog a short overview about a T.V show on OTV Lebanon that’s called LOL, since that time until now and I’m getting a huge number of hits from the search engines.

Google Analytics showed within the first 33 results the following keywords that generate the traffic for Kermit the Blog:

Trying to google the first keyword above I got the following results and they explain everything:

My most influential people for 2009

Filed under: Life — Tags: , — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 9:53 pm

The year of 2009 held a lot of surprises for me, I can also consider it an extraordinary year of action that made a huge difference in the whole track of my life. Working with Boundless the sister web development company of Akhtaboot and Jawaker, moving to work on the co-finding of my startup venture Ideation Box, popping Nakhweh.com and finally kicking off Ideation Box Labs a couple of days ago. All of that moves I have done were absolutely guided or influenced by my family and friends.

An Israeli Soldier fighting a little PALESTINIAN KID!

Filed under: Life, Politics — Tags: , , , — Kamel Al-Asmar @ 3:17 am

I shared this image on twitter asking people if there is a way to describe it, I was literally shocked after seeing it:

What's in his mind?

What's in his mind?

I only have one single question, what were his thoughts at that moment?! Would that kid be of any threat??!!
