So I celebrated my 30th birthday last month and it was a blast!!!!! I’ve been thinking of fun ways to celebrate this milestone but couldn’t really think of anything unique until I saw a Cobone deal by Volume Yachts. The deal was issued during the first week of October and I bought it instantly. For … Continue reading
I’m not a big beer drinker as opposed to what you may probably think. I’d rather have a cocktail than a beer or if I had to have a beer, it will be a shandy – beer with sprite or 7-up. I don’t like how some beer taste so bitter it’s like you’re drinking a … Continue reading
When I walked in Nell Gwynne Pub, the interior made me feel like I was taken back in time. The decor was so medieval that I think I expected knights to walk in the pub still wearing their steel armors and would order a beer. The place is surrounded by stone bricks which I’m not … Continue reading
There’s this one club which my friends have tried to drag me to numerous times but I have always held my ground and declined these invites. So I wasn’t so sure why I had to let down my guard and agreed to go there a couple of weeks ago. It’s probably because I have nothing … Continue reading
If I were to choose which place I will bring a visiting guest in Dubai to spend the afternoon in, Nasimi Beach will be one of the top 3. It gives you a different vibe like you’re totally outside of the Middle East with its very laxed environment. The rates are a bit on the … Continue reading
The boyfriend and I were feeling adventurous the other day and went to find a place called White X Beach and Lounge located at the Rixos The Palm at the very end of the crescent of the Palm Jumeirah. We actually didn’t mind the long drive as it was a scenic one, however the place … Continue reading
I like going to pubs than clubs/bars these days. Why? Because one, I don’t have to dress up. Two, the menu is straightforward with no pretensions and won’t be served in a huge plate with things to prettify it which you can’t really eat or let alone need. Lastly, the crowd is normal most of … Continue reading
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
The Photo-A-Day subject for today is quite boring so I’ll probably just skip it once again. 🙂 Instead I’ll talk about another discovery in Dubai: The Terrace at Media Rotana. We went there last weekend and it was awesome! It was quite a chilly night but not windy, so the weather was perfect to sit … Continue reading
I missed the 31st day yesterday so I’m doing 2 entries today. Better late than never hey! Anyway, so we had a team building dinner last night with some of my colleagues at an Indian/Italian restaurant in Uptown Mirdiff called Mirchi. Indian and Italian cuisine in one restaurant, you probably already guessed it right that … Continue reading
This is THE weekend when I become debt free (paid off all my credit card bills as soon as the salary came into my account). And at this point in time, my credit cards are nowhere to be found inside my wallet and I cannot let myself get access to it unless, otherwise there’s an … Continue reading
After the very filling dinner at Al Hambra, we then went to the bar inside the same Al Qasr Hotel called Koubba Bar. I’ve been meaning to bring the boyfriend there for a long time but never had the chance. Again, we were ushered by a very friendly receptionist and then a waiter gave us … Continue reading
We had lunch at this pub last Friday as it’s the only place serving food at 3pm in Crowne Plaza Hotel. Well it lived up to my expectation about their food – not good, but if you’re just after carb-filling to sustain you for the day then this place will do. For appetizer, we ordered … Continue reading
I had an agreement with the bf the previous weekend that I will watch the Europa League match between Manchester City and Aries with him and in return, he will let me choose any restaurants that I want to eat at for dinner including (but not limited to) those which serves solely Asian cuisine. Me … Continue reading
after having a few drinks at the observatory, we went to the HC floor (no idea what HC means) of the same hotel and went over to AZ.U.R for dinner. we were greeted by a staff who looks like he’s just been to disneyland as he looked so happy to see us. upon entering the … Continue reading
i kept thinking why i haven’t been into this place even though i know that we get staff discount here? so yesterday, we went on that too-long of an elevator ride going to the 52nd floor of this magnificent building. i wouldn’t recommend it to people with claustrophobia and are afraid of heights. hehehe. yes, … Continue reading
i’ve already reviewed this bar last year here and well i must say that a lot has changed! :p the ambiance: is still fantastic! whatever it is that i said about 360 as being the best al fresco bar in dubai i’d like to take it back. 360 only comes second after nasimi beach. why? … Continue reading
because i would catch a flu if i don’t get myself out of the breezy 360, the boyfriend and i decided to change venues. we took a buggy from Jumeira Beach Hotel and went straight to Souk Madinat Jumeira. the ambiance: it was crowded that night and the dubai-ites were all so happy that the … Continue reading
after the sumptuous meal we’ve had at La Veranda, we took a buggy car to go to the very famous 360 bar which as the name implies, gives you a 360 view of Dubai. the ambiance: is the very best al fresco bar in Dubai. we went there at around 8pm so we were able … Continue reading
this bar was the very first bar i went to when i was new here in dubai and i have been a frequent customer since then. so it is rather mindblogging for me as to why it’s only now that i’m doing a review of this bar. me and the boyfriend went here last night … Continue reading
i fell in love with the place as soon as i walked in. with a very good view of the ski slopes of ski dubai and the wooden interiors, they’ve done a perfect ambience of a ski lodge in Switzerland. well not that i’ve ever been into a ski lodge or even to Switzerland, but … Continue reading
right, this is another delayed post. i just came around to doing this because you see, it’s my off today and it’s only now that i was reminded to put in all these reviews and update my blog. so here goes…. the ambience: is great! if this bar is in Dubai, it will always be … Continue reading
the boyfriend and i decided to go to Nasimi Beach earlier as the final leg of my 3-day weekend. it was my first time to be in that bar and was very curious about it since i’ve been receiving invitations for their parties on Facebook. :p anyhow, here’s my take on the now very famous … Continue reading
Free-flowing alcoholic drinks. Waiters with plateful of assorted sushi/sashimi/dumplings walking around the place offering you these yum yums. Great music. Company of crazy and pretty people. All these for free. Combine it all together – A SPIT-ON-THE-NECK-KICK-ON-YOUR-BALLS-FREAKING-GREAT-PARTY!!!!! that was what my Wednesday night was comprised of, it was for Lufthansa’s kick off party for 2010. … Continue reading
so i guess am finally living up to my 2009’s new year’s resolution – never go back to the same club/bar that i’ve already been to. it’s funny because just when i have filed my bankcruptcy, all the weekends which followed were all great. thanks to the very good “event planning” of my friends and … Continue reading
