New Year, New kid on the block

It's been long since the last time I updated my blog. A lot of things happened! With the ongoing worldwide crisis, even the land of the oil is experiencing the turmoil.

Enough with the negative news, let's move on to the positive one.

First thing, my sister delivered a baby girl a month ago. We celebrated her first month old yesterday. It was just a family dinner. So sad that my sister left two weeks ago, she needs to go back home for her work. Mom still with us, and she's having a problem wearing her shoes. I bought her a new boots for protection from cold. It's her first time to experience the coldness in this place. I opted to use my running shoes, for comfort and protection, and we were having a problem for the baby, she's getting bigger every week and all dressess and shoes does not fit to her anymore. So I joke with my sister that next time I shop online, I will buy a wedding shoes for her baby.

Christening of Haya, our new baby, will be on March. As early as today, my sister asked me and other godparents for a bigger size of baby shoes . She is being wise on that.

Welcome to the world Haya.

Vacation Crisis

Eid Holidays is over, imagine 5 days of doing nothing but watching. Yeah right, I got hooked-up in the tv series again. House is interesting though I'm not in the medical field. I still found time to hang out with friends but I got itched to go back home to finish the 3 disc series.

Anyway, I'm currently on the third season and I still have time to finish over the weekend. For the meantime, I want to share some fireworks moment here.

Cards for all season

Shopping malls is too crowded today because it’s the first day of Eid Al Adha. I couldn’t wait in the long cue for payment, so I decided not to purchase anything and headed to coffee shop. While sipping my cappuccino, I got an email from Tita Ann informing me something about the new offer of Blackhawk especially for this Holiday. It’s good thing that wifi works in this mall.

So I check this Gift Card Mall™ to ease my curiosity. I hesitate at first thinking that it was just another greeting cards. It’s not that I don’t like greetings cards, it’s so traditional. So when I checked on it, it’s really unique. Gift cards are a perfect gift to give this coming Christmas. It’s wise and trendy. You could even design your own card and most of all it is good for all season.

Thanks to tita Ann for a smart recommendation.

Take 5

It’s getting cold here and Christmas is everywhere. Would you believe that malls started to decorate their shops for Christmas season here? Five years ago, Christmas is just an ordinary day but now even local people became aware of Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas, I was really having trouble what kind of gift I will give to my friend. Every year, it was really a hard day for me to roam around the malls just to look for a perfect gift for him. This morning, I went to the mall to start my pre-Christmas shopping. Oh by the way, I’m enjoying my 5 days Eid Holiday. I took advantage of it to start my shopping.

It just so happen that I stumble on these 5.11 Tactical pants. It was cool, I even like it for myself. I checked it out and found out that I can even buy online. Wow that will be a big relief on my side. I’m more comfortable buying stuff online. I’m pretty sure he will love it. He likes military things although he’s not from military.

You know what I found out more? 5.11 Tactical have more brands, not just pants. I checked all their brands. They have shirts, shoes, bags, books, watches, eyewear, shorts, knives and pouches for mobile, guns, knives and more. They offer small size to larger ones pouches. What I love most is the 5.11 Tactical watches and the 5.11 Tactical eyewears. Oh my, I will forget my budget plan for now, I will start next year. If only my dad is still here, for sure he will like it also. He likes these things, we have the same taste. Anyhow, instead of buying for my friend only, now I have to include myself on this order.

Hey, it’s Christmas time, time to indulge yourself once in a while. Correct?

Private sector holiday on Tuesday to mark UAE National Day

From Gulfnews.com

The private sector will get a one-day holiday on Tuesday, December 2, on the occasion of 37th UAE National Day.

Although no Memo was circulated today in the office but it's automatic here in UAE, meaning no work tomorrow! hurayyy!

I started working here during their 32nd year anniversary and wow it's already their 37th year. How time flies by!

The government were preparing a big celebration for the national day. Dubai started today for their national parade while Abu Dhabi will have the largest and record breaking fireworks display tomorrow.

Hmmm, that will be good.

Congratulations to all Emirati.

Packed in the Bag

I was inactive for some months. I thought I will not go back to blogging world but I do believe that once a blogger will always be a blogger, so I’m back.

Having a new work, a really new line of work, takes a lot of my time and energy. I thought I couldn’t make it but with the encouragement and push from my colleagues, I made it.

Funny but true, since I started working with my new work, 4 essential items are always present in my bag. My sunglasses, sun protection, after the sun care protection and first aid kits. Working at the site is really hard especially when it’s hot. Though it’s humid, I still wear sun protection and after the sun because I got burned during my first few weeks. You might be wondering why I include first aid kits, well I just want to be ready especially for pain relievers.

To my blogging friends, please forgive me for being out of action.

Back for Toys

It’s been three months since I hibernate in blogworld due to work load and I could not hide anymore especially for the coming month. Christmas is around the corner and for me this is the month for children. Though I don’t have any kids of my own, I have tons of nieces and nephews. My cousins, sisters and brothers started to remind about their kids gifts as well as for them. They always bug me every year for they knew that being single, I don’t spend too much. Yeah right, they have to think again. They even give me list about their gift ideas. Imagine that!

Anyway, I love my nephews and nieces so I started listing down their favorite toys like Nintendo Wii and Nintendo ds. My nieces have been reminding me about Nintendo ds for ages so I think this is the best time to give. I’m also thinking of buying some cheap toys as an extra gift incase some children knocks on my door.

Though life became a little bit hard here, I don’t want to disappoint my family. It’s Christmas, time for giving.

Dubai Kilo

New residents of Dubai gain between 6 and 12 kilograms on average in their first year here, according to a fitness instructor at a local gym.

One thing i really notice here is the lifestyle. Diners and restaurants scattered around here and the food is cheap. People who are tired from 8-9 hours work tend to eat alot during the night. Some prefer to take out food rather than to cook their own meals.

This is for real. I myself experienced weight problem. I gained a lot during my first year here and it keeps going up and up and up till 75kg. Last year, I decided to take a diet pill and return to my jogging regimen. The diet pill i took makes me loose my appetite so I turned to fresh fruit juices. My jogging habits every night continue until I lose 15kg and it feels good to being light again. Now, I just maintain my food intake and continue my jogging.
