Its a BIRD !

Every man’s greatest dream is to fly.

“I truly believe, deep in my heart, that you can never go wrong with nature. The direction I wanted was something stripped down to the roots, earthy, real, peaceful, moves away from current trends, yet set new ones” Thats what I said last time I revamped the blog with the highly talented design company, Circus BC.

My direction never changed, vision is still the same.

I never wanted to change anything about my previous design, my ultimate goal was to squash the bugs, lagging speed and un-wanted drama that you guys suffered from. However, “I easily get bored” is an excuse I use when I just want to explore new grounds. Kept thinking why not work with Design Box ?

Let me collaborate with one of the best companies we have here in Kuwait. Include it in the accomplishment box under my belt.

Before you click on read more, try to explore the page, go up and down, have a look.

When you are done with reading and exploring, please leave me a comment if you found an error or design flaw. You can ofcourse always share the love and tell me if you like it ;D


Story:

Did you think i’ll stay an egg forever ? Well eggs hatched and a beautiful dark feathered hummingbird came along !

You can not p0ach a hummingbird, it will come to you all by itself.

Why a Hummingbird ? Well, dinosaurs from my era understand this.

Remember back in the day when we had nothing at home but KTV? After each and every ATHAN, they show a 10 minute clip that semi-showcases GOD’s creative ability to produce things like Volcanos, Ice on water, then a bit of nature, right in the end, they show you a HUMMINGBIRD trying to feed off of a beautiful yellow flower, the cutest thing ever created.

“MOM!! whats that bird ?” – “Thats one of the birds you’ll see in heaven, tiny, yet powerful, just like you”. Ever since I saw it, I could not forget how elegant and beautiful it was. p0ach and the hummingbird share the same food preference, both crave honey, on daily basis.

Iconic, thats what it is. Its nothing like the birds you know, not the speed, not the way it flies, the colors, kinds, nature or how it lives. Miraculous creature. Please do not assume I will give you a lecture why I chose it, its as famous as the Jackson family, you look it up, you research.

I grew up highly fond of it and always kept my eyes on the look if there are any documentaries out there. I found one lately, a breakthrough, nothing like regular documentaries, extremely beautiful.

“Hummingbirds: Magic in the Air” Arranged and produced by the beautiful Ann Prum, have a look, its just a sample – Behind the scenes footage:

That documentary restored a lot of  memories, I even remember the Michael Jackson Pajamas with the matching bed sheets I had (BAD album cover) HAH!

Design:

I wanted to keep the same clean slate look, however, I received some feedback from friends telling me to tweak some stuff here and there. Their wish and constructive criticism became my command.

The basic elements that represent nature seen on the header are common grounds that my soul rests upon today. So here goes:

Elements

Hummingbird: Although explained earlier. It represents optimism and sweetness.
Bees: Hard work, regal power and splashes of energy.
Flowers: Kindness.
Sun: Light/ energy/ creativity.
Water: Nourishment/ fulfillment / moisture.
KOKO-Duck: Just random koko rubber duck I like it alot, HAH! (check it out in the footer)

Colors

Yellow: Joy, happiness, intellect, and energy.
Blue: Wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.
Pink: Pure, hope and love.
White & Black contrast: Classic.

If you noticed, every post has a different color than the previous one. Eye therapy.

Footer:

I tried to make the footer very useful to you and to me too.

If you want to go to older posts, you go there. Would like to contact me, you go there. Disclaimer? there too.

Check it out.

Slogan:

Notoriously Delightfull. Written with double L’s.

The slogan is inspired by those who like to run their mouths alot. I heard them say things along these lines “Yeah, I know p0ach, isint he the guy who talks about positive things ?” – “He lives in his own bubble”.

Well, whatever the intention of these remarks was, I cherish them. You talkative creatures inspired me to shove my home-taught-parents+grandparents goodness in your faces everytime you decide to pass me by, everyday that is.

I have nothing but love for you, the inspiration is priceless.

Actually, the slogan has a huge contrast in meaning. Delight and Notorious are opposites put together. Here’s why:

Notorious: Well-known for some bad or unfavorable quality, deed. Gangster, Criminal.
Delight: Something that gives great pleasure or enjoyment.
Delight-fuLL (Double L) As in full of delight. Playing on words, love literature.

Notoriously delightful is a statement. It could be a way to describe the Hummingbird or p0ach. There are Infinite possibilities what this slogan might mean, exact intention? Not sharing. Wont restrict your mental abilities. You decide what it means.

For those who run their mouths ? aside from Karma and how beautifully pleasant it is, know this:

The more you talk, the more money I make.

Technical Stuff:

The web used to load very slowly. Has lots of hiccups here and there.

All fixed.

However, if there is anything wrong, please let me know. Make sure that your browser is the latest version out there. Your feedback is highly valuable.

Community:

As a citizen, I said it before and I’ll say it again. I will do my very best to serve my country and give back to the community the best way I know how.

I am only one individual, I am not a stay-in-home kind of guy, I love to go out, enjoy life everyday, always and forever. So try to moderate your expectations if you don’t mind, HAH!

VERY IMPORTANT: If you are a new, current or thinking of becoming a blogger, please bare in mind that you have to have a MESSAGE, a THEME, an IDEA, a CREATION you like to share with us all. No matter what your message is, believe in it, bring it to the table and you’ll be surprised how far you’ll go. The community has been very kind to me, maybe you’ll have the same experience. Or better, hopefully.

Recommendation:

I highly recommend Design Box to anyone who seeks a web design, development and management system. I can clearly and with no doubt in my mind tell you that they are technically brilliant.

Had many requests in hand, most of them were granted. That feels great. However, you have to bring forth your own creative energy to the field, you have to have your hands full with the guys. Its a collaborative effort in the end of the day. Everybody feeds off of eachother. You can only imagine how magnificent ideas become when 3-4 brains bring work together in harmony.

A big thank you to my team Hatim, Robin and Sanket. Thank you for your patience, collaborative efforts and those moments of deep breaths, HAH!
If you like the design you see here on p0ach.com I suggest you move ahead and join them, they rock !

I think the guys have their hands full, you’re lucky if they took you in. I can proudly say that p0ach worked with the same company that brought BLINK to life.

Honored and definitely privileged.

SPECIAL THANK YOU NOTE:

Mark: The way you took care of me without even knowing who I am or ever meeting me, says alot about you. I still have not done the same to you nor will I ever can. My thanks and gratitude for your presence and guidance is immensely underrated. You were there for me when no one was. I’ll never forget that. THANK YOU !

Ilsul6ana: Thank you for your time, energy and private chats from time to time, knowing that you are there for me means the world to me, Miss Mysterious, I love you unconditionally. You are a jewel. Your heart too. Never lose it. I love you !

Ansam: Is it ok if I say that you’re my sweet heart ? Will that pay off ? Because you are. THANK YOU !

Frankom: No body knows this about Frankom. He is the nicest, most open and sincere person I have met in years. They dont make’em like you no more, no sir, they dont. That company you work for ? Baby they better thank the lord almighty that you are part of their team. I wish there were 10 Frankoms in Kuwait. Bless you !

4ThringRoad Gang: Its very simple. I can not live without you. Now thats a tricky statement. Isint it ? You guys are like 100,000 member in one blog, so who am I referring to ? keep guessing. HAH!

Buzberry: Thank you for your endless advice (FAH) on what im about to create. I said it before, i’ll say it again, you guys inspire me and TO ME, your blog is one of the classiest things out there. THANK YOU !

BlackMarket: You came along way and grew up tremendously, im proud of you guys, look how far you came ! I wish you nothing but the best.

*To my two angels Jacqui & Ananyah who worked so hard not just in designing the old blog (previous website), but making me fall in love with the details so much that I did not want to change the mannequin/skeleton they built for me, I decided to stick to what they gave me and put up a new slogan, identity, logo, header and fix the things I mentioned earlier. They have a company called JAM DISH designs, check them out HERE.

*To my previous family Circus BC, The love I have for you is forever. I can not forget anything we did together, loved our last project and I can not wait to work again together.

What I know for sure:

Based upon experience that includes communication, making business and running different projects through p0ach.com and the beautiful citizens of Kuwait, I realized lots of things.

People have a big space for trust, good intentions and open-welcoming arms to many sophisticated suggestions I bring upon them. I could not be happier or more pleased.

My message is clear and simple

Light is with in, you do not need ANY one or thing to light you up.

You were not just born. You were created. You are special.

A higher loving force expects alot from you, regardless of what you believe in.

Please think of that and let it simmer with you the whole day.

A MESSAGE FROM P0ACH TO EVERYONE:

I spread whats good in the country because I believe in the goodness we have within. Pushed many boundaries and squashed many myth-like ideologies by giving real examples through Interviews and polls in which you all have participated in.

Never criticized anyone unless its related to the field of Entertainment. They make me laugh.

Never chose controversial or tabloid like news. If I was running after ratings and high number of visitors, I know all the tricks out there. Thats not how I roll.

Blogs come and go. Never compete, always share. Take it this way, there is Kuwait, Gulf, Arabian countries, Asia, Africa, Europe and The Americas, earth, the planet, then there is the whole universe. Then there is silence. Then Infinity. How tiny are you now? Still want to compete? You belittle and disrespect yourself if you still think so. Just enjoy what you do and bring forth your inner goodness. Try at least.

On Human Level

I do not fear anyone or anything. I am a privileged citizen. I do not need or want to be nice to please anyone. I do it because I want to. The house I come from is warm, full of love and is highly compassionate, I gave you a glimpse of it.

I do not kiss up to anyone, anything wither individuals or entities.

NO-THING has a SAY/Force/Order upon me. My dear, I aim to please myself. When I choose something for me, I choose the very best. I believe thats what I do here.

Take it or leave it. I say that with love and a big smile on my face.

I wish you only one thing, enlightenment. It is everything that you will ever need.

One more thing, last but never least

    Congratulations Adbullah.
    The new look is so refreshing.

    Was just wondering if you could repeat the top and bottom backgrounds.
    Would look sweet on large screens.
    Am on 1920×1080.

    This is what I mean.

      I’ll look into it, but I must say that it looks great on your screen, hehehe

  11. Yousef says:

    What a refreshing change! Jad I love it. It is much more pleasing to the eye and very professional.

  12. AlSubah says:

  14. mas says:

    PRETTTTTTYYYY! I :heart: :2thumbup

  15. Janna says:

    Just like you say stuff. I’ll keep this short:

    #1 you out did yourself.
    #2 everything about is beautiful. The colors are OMG fresh!
    #3 i love your parents. I can tell their great, you’re so proud of them obviously.

    Thank you for doing this, it came just in time !!

  16. RuBY_GLoOoM says:

    Congratz on the new design.
    Love how you really “Change” the design while still expressing yourself through it.
    well done, well said.
    why not animate the Humming bird. ? in real life, Eyes can hardly see it wings from the speed of it’s flapping :)

    • Abdullah says:

      Ruby, i love your comments and like how constructive you go.

      I wanted to animate the bird. But this bird is CRAZY fast and its movement is too precious to be caught on animation. I dont know, capturing it fly was a tremendous effort. If you notice, I went with a code black color. Simply because it has lots of vibrant colors, i didnt know what to choose. So thought lets go black ! ;P

  17. Jacqui says:

    Well done with the new design! Congrats and wish you all the best with it, one question (not to be crazy or anything) but why are you choosing to stick with the Flash-y webdesign? It’s amazing and all but I am one of those people who disables flash on all websites due to the amount of resource hogging it takes up, it slows up some computers not to mention drains the battery… Needless to say, I love your design and the colors bring in a cute new aspect to the blog. Just one tip, try to make the font size for the comments slightly bigger as it is now insanely small hehe :s I can read it okay but sometimes it gets difficult to do so.

    Otherwise great job! And hope I didn’t offend with any of my questions :|

    • Abdullah says:

      Jacqui !!

      See that comment ? it means the world to me. Thanks for sharing. now here’s the thing:

      - Flash: Its beautiful on websites. However, we made an option that it goes JPEG only on mobiles so it wont effect their browsing experience. Plus, I do see how perfectly valid your points are. I have high hopes for HTML5 that will hit us all very soon. These technicalities might vanish with it. *fingers crossed*

      - Making the comments font bigger ? inshalla i’ll send it to the team right away.

      THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!

  18. Mark says:

    dude when I was reading your post I thought it was a goodbye letter because it sounded like because you’re now a humming bird you will be flying off and stop blogging lol

    glad its just a blog revamp and a nice one at that :)

    • Abdullah says:

      THANK YOU MARK ! and NO, im not going anywhere, sticking with you through thick and thin, HAH!

      Your comment means the world to me, THANK YOU !

  19. Sanket says:

    Thanks Mr. Abdullah
    all our efforts have come to life…. congrats to you & Team Design Box

    • Abdullah says:

      Sanket. You are the money maker. Ask for a bonus, you deserve it ;P HAHA!

      Honestly though, I could not have done it without you !

  20. Danderna says:

    Nice theme masha2 Allah :D

    I like it MUCH MORE than the old one… somehow it’s more you! Manzelen Embarak

    Now your footer is something to think about. My footer is boring now… i will try and make use of it o aqaldik ;)

    • Abdullah says:

      DANDERMA !! THANK YOU SO MUCH and you make take whatever you want from down here and use it the way you like.

      May I call one of the bees on top after you ? cuz you work and type stuff just as hard as these birds do, can i ?

  22. Abdulmohsen says:

    Congrats on the revamp! It is really a breath of fresh air :)

    My feedback:

    The coloring of the word “full” in your header is distracting I guess. The black background is an eyesore when compared with the rest of the header.

    Typo: in your message to ilSul6ana, you said “Never loose it” it should be lose… 3ayazt ma minnik fayda :p

    Keep it up!!!

    • Abdullah says:

      Mi7sin !! THANK YOU !!!

      ok first things first:

      loose and lose ? i dont know what you’re talkin bout *runs quickly to fix it*

      The coloring you say ? hmmm, we’ll try to find away to sooth your eye sight. Nothing like the flat tv in your bed room but we’ll try ;P

  23. Yalmusaileem says:

    The New Design is way beyond Perfect !! So Creatuve keep it up

  24. Anonymose helper says:

    Ok so colors are between zain and twitter very semilar. U should be different. flowers are abit meh. Bird idea is very twitter as well. The egg thing was ur pattern. U shldv kept it. And where is the blogs name? Why is it hiding and this small. Redisgn the whole thing with the same concept. But with original design. Different idea. The cloud thing is nice how precise it is a d the bee. But then u go with a plain blue bird. Be precise in all or so. Thanks for reading. <3
