363 blog post challenge: FAIL

By this time, my dear avid readers (all 5 of you I suppose), you’re all probably smart enough to realize that the inevitable happened. I lost the interest and became very lazy to post something which does not make any sense for 363 days. It’s a long time coming and we all know that it’ll … Continue reading →

Day 125 of 363 blog post challenge: Good heavens!

Today at work: PAX 1: What time does your office close? MI: 6pm PAX 1: So if I arrive there at 4, are you still open? MI: Hmmmm… What do you think? PAX 2: Do you give staff discount? MI: Oh, you’re an [insert airline company name here] staff? PAX 2: Well………….. I used to … Continue reading →

Day 124 of 363 blog post challenge: Bruised egos.

Earlier today, I had a fight with one of my managers. It’s not really a new thing for me to be having an argument with my superiors but the fight earlier was so stupid as it started off from something so petty. So petty that I didn’t even thought it would end up that way. … Continue reading →

Day 123 of 363 blog post challenge: Pick up lines.

Earlier at work… PAX: I’ve had a really bad day and it always makes me feel better to see a pretty girl smile. My day just got better now. ME: Well, you just made your ticket a thousand dirhams higher. #worstpickuplineaguycaneveruse Continue reading →

Day 122 of 363 blog post challenge: Tulfo VS Barretto/Santiago VS Bocboc/Ilagan

The same day of my arrival in Manila’s NAIA Terminal 1, a big and now very sensationalized commotion went on at Terminal 3. Apparently, two very famous Filipino celebrities had a brawl with a well-known radio commentator and newspaper columnist. To make the long story short, the luggage of the celebrities got off-loaded and started … Continue reading →

Day 121 of 363 blog post challenge: Forest Cove Beach House

A few months ago, I was searching for a nice resort around Batangas area for the whole family to stay in at least for a night when Forest Cove Beach House was given to me by the reliable Mr. Google. 🙂 I don’t know anything about it, I’ve never even heard of someone I know … Continue reading →

Day 120 of 363 blog post challenge: The (Much Needed) Vacation

I am seriously running behind this 363 blog post challenge and I have a very valid reason for being so, I went home for a 5-day vacation and spending time with my family is more important for me than to update this blog entry as it’s only once a year that I get to spend … Continue reading →

Day 119 of 363 blog post challenge: Arabian Travel Market 2012

We went to attend the Arabian Travel Market today, it’s an exhibition of participating countries showcasing their place to potential clients. Since the market here in Dubai is very diverse and multi-cultural, I couldn’t think of any other place perfect for this kinds of exhibitions. It’s an old school style of advertisement but I think … Continue reading →

Day 118 of 363 blog post challenge: The joys of being an OFW.

You’d think that going back to your home country would be an easy task for everyone, not for us Filipinos – well at least for those who are working abroad. This is why I hate going back to the Philippines, apart from having to deal with obnoxious and self-centered EXTENDED family members who thinks you’re … Continue reading →

Day 117 of 363 blog post challenge: Ping Pong (not the Patong Beach show)

I had a day to myself earlier as I took a weekday off in the hopes of being able to process something at the embassy for my vacation, apparently though they’re closed for the Labor Day. Boo hoo. So I went instead to Dubai Mall to have my monthly manicure/pedicure and to have lunch. I … Continue reading →

Day 116 of 363 blog post challenge: What I’ll do in the Philippines (An OFW Guide)

So the vacation is getting nearer now that even though I’m still feeling quite bad for having it shortened, the excitement somehow builds up inside of me. The fact that I’ll have a few days off from work is enough for me to get excited. When I go back home, these are the things that … Continue reading →

Day 115 of 363 blog post challenge: Mauritius, it’s a pleasure.

Today, I was sent by the company to attend a workshop about Mauritius sponsored by one of our suppliers. It’s probably the most boring workshop/seminar I have ever attended in my life and I’m not the only one who thinks of it. There were a lot of awkward silences whenever the Master of Ceremonies asks … Continue reading →

Day 114 of 363 blog post challenge: Leave me at peace, at least on a Saturday!

I went to work earlier because one of my colleagues asked if I could change my off with her as they’re planning to do a short getaway with her family. Since I don’t have anything planned for this weekend, I agreed besides I need a weekday off to get my OEC (Overseas Employment Certificate) to … Continue reading →

Day 113 of 363 blog post challenge: What’s on the telly?

I don’t know why, but Grey’s Anatomy is one of the TV series that I can’t get enough of. I laugh and cry everytime on any of the episodes, never fails but one thing I learned not to do while watching it is – not to eat a meal. With all the blood and the … Continue reading →

Day 111 of 363 blog post challenge: I was here, Eros beach.

It was supposedly a “secret” beach as per the owner of the hotel that we’re staying in in Santorini. Apparently though, someone leaked out the secret because when we got there, all of the beach umbrellas were taken and most of the people were scattered around the shore with their beach towels working on their … Continue reading →

Day 110 of 363 blog post challenge: Definitely Dubai

I oftentimes take for granted the things around me, specially the fact that I am living in one of the most powerful and rich city in the world right now: Dubai. I’ve been here for almost 5 years now and it has gone past by me like a blink of an eye. I don’t know … Continue reading →

Day 109 of 363 blog post challenge: Making up for the lost times.

I skipped two days of the blog challenge, yes. I was so preoccupied with the weekend that I was unable to shoot a short post not even to just post a photo of what I might be doing. Yesterday, when I came home at 7pm I felt like I just arrived from a year-long war … Continue reading →

Day 108 of 363 blog post challenge: Breakfast? Anyone?

How can you start the day with that breakfast? For us, Filipinos, if it’s not rice that we’re having in the morning we’ll probably collapse by around 10am. Of course I don’t eat rice for breakfast anymore as my metabolism refuse to work as fast as when I was a kid but that photo right … Continue reading →

Day 106 of 363 blog post challenge: I was here, Temple of Zeus

When we finally got here, I was throwing a mild tantrum to the boyfriend because we just came back from the National Archaeological Museum and walked for so long in the middle of the day. It was a bit hot at the time. Ok, I’m exaggerating because I don’t think it even reached to 25 … Continue reading →

Day 105 of 363 blog post challenge: How would your colleagues describe you?

The company is sending me to a seminar about the psychological analysis of people. Psychology, a subject which I really gained interest on when I was finishing my degree so I immediately accepted the invitation. As part of the seminar, we were asked to fill out a questionnaire and the last question was: How would … Continue reading →

Day 104 of 363 blog post challenge: Some people just like being rude, apparently.

Earlier at work, I was dealing with a man buying a Cairo to Dubai ticket for his brother. From the very moment that he walked into our office, he’s been showing off his arrogance to me and to my colleagues. I’m used to dealing with people like him so I let him be, not minding … Continue reading →

Day 103 of 363 blog post challenge: Babies.

I have often mentioned that I’m not really into babies or children. There was a point in my life that I despise these little creatures. Perhaps it’s their ability to belch out a loud scream from their tiny bodies if they don’t get what they want and the fact that it’s ok when they do … Continue reading →

Day 102 of 363 blog post challenge: saladicious

Looks yummy right? In reality though, it’s ok. Nothing extraordinary. It’s called Taco Salad from Saladicious in Jumeira road. I met with the Frenisian friend (half French and half Tunisian lol) for lunch this afternoon. He was late, as always – so i spent half an hour sipping my drink and playing Words with Friends … Continue reading →

Day 101 of 363 blog post challenge: The Hunger Games

I didn’t really want to have anything to do with the latest craze called The Hunger Games but after reading the plot of the book somewhere, I got curious. I thought at first it would be one of them vampire movies/books which I’m not really into. Anyway, it must be something about the fact that … Continue reading →

Day 99 of 363 blog post challenge: I was here, Cove Rotana

Can you believe that this photo right here was taken in the middle east? I couldn’t believe it either considering the fact that we happen to chance upon this resort because we got lost and was in dire need of food and that was the nearest resort from where we were at the time. It … Continue reading →
