Farewell Ms. Sri Lanka!

As we live we come to meet many people, we open our hearts to some, they become our friends and by and by we have to say goodbye. We joke and fight at the same time but most of all we try to learn from all. No matter how much we want to keep our friends but still it is necessary to separate ways again. Today we said goodbye to our one and only beautiful Sri Lankan colleague.  Such a sweet yet stubborn girl.

Beauty does not come in a Size

My stomach is hurting. I think I exceeded tonight the maximum allowable food volume to put inside. My dinner was enough for 3people. Food can be therapeutic you know, when you have a problem.

Moving On...

Today is Thursday. 5:20am, I awoke with a heavy heart, took hot shower and drink bitter coffee. I am scheduled for a job interview today. Here in the UAE, the market is very competitive, there are so many nationalities, and its normal to feel nervous for interview. Finally I got down on my knees and poured out all the fears, doubts, & desperation. The sky is very bright this morning, at 8 AM its a little difficult to catch a taxi, there are no commuter trains, the public buses are always full especially in the morning and it has to stop in each parking lot.

Obsessed with South Korea

What is it about South Korea that charms the world?

Shawarmas and Curtains

We finally moved in to our new room in flat 1208 Al Yousuf Tower

beside Pizza Hut in Hamdan Street, in the center of Abu Dhabi City.

 My room mate brought many of her things....

It's your Life but I love you!

We know what needs to be done.

And we know what is good and bad.

But we often ignore everything else and do what we like. 

Even if it harms us, we don't care. 

Sometimes we don't know but someone cares.

Be MAD & RIDICULOUS! (or be boring)

~~Thanks Ms. Marilyn!

Give It All Away (Short Story)

Legend has it that a man was lost in the desert, dying for a drink of water. He stumbled upon an old shack-a ramshackle, windowless, roofless, weather-beaten old shack. He looked about this place and found a little shade from the heat of the desert sun. As he glanced around he saw a pump about fifteen feet away-an old, rusty water pump. He stumbled over to it, grabbed the handle, and began to pump up and down, up and down. Nothing came out.

The 4 Cows and the Lion (Short Story)

Unite or Die

Once upon a time there lived 4 cows in a forest. They were very close friends and always stood by each other in times of need. Whenever some wild animal tried to attack them, all of them got together and chased them away. So no animal in the forest dared to attack them.

How NOT to Observe Office Ettiquettes

Wear weird and fancy clothes.

The Wolf is Back!

He's the awesomest of the X-men! Oh don't you love to hear the sharp metal scraping sound from those shiny knives coming out of his knuckles, and his angry scowl with his signature wolf hairstyle and beard...hehe.

How to get a Russian Tourist Visa

<visit visa to Russia>

They said Russia is one of the most or the most expensive place in the whole world.

Yes, maybe right, because just the visit visa processing fee costs approx. AED700 (approx $200), compared to only  approx. AED 200 ($60) for Schengen, or UK visas.

The Day we took Someone else's Lunch

<who looks guilty?>

Everyday at 12 o'clock noontime we have lunch together with some colleagues.

Before we eat, we bring out our lunch box's and heat our food in the microwave.

We have to fall in line because there is only a small oven and we are many.

New Sleeping Arrangement

This is our new home starting next month.
Now I have to share a room with another because it is necessary.

Stormy Heart Today

Brace Challenge

"You need to eat too much now, tomorrow onwards you will be hungry because you can not eat anymore."

She's right. So we eat the whole pot of carbonara yesterday.

My friend referred me to her lady dentist.

Today I got my own teeth braces.

I thought it is easy. Wrong. It is a struggle.
It feels like a hard gum is permanently stuck to your mouth.

The pain is tolerable but its constant.

Eating is difficult, it hurts to chew.

When you talk, you can not pronounce very well, your 's' sounds like 'sshh'.

And your face deforms, when you smile you look like a vampire.

And the worst is you can not kiss anymore, huhuhu.

(There is no one to kiss. It's just a joke.)

One year of vampire smile and monthly tortures is challenging.
Cost me a lot of money too.

No matter what, I have gone for dental braces on my own will. Nobody forced me.

Mwah. Cheers!

How to cook Carbonara (Filipino Style)

Today, I tasted the best carbonara ever.

One of my friend kidnapped me to their home, she said she will feed me full first before sending me to the dentist.

I am going to share with you her secret recipe, ssshhh!

 1) Prepare the ingredients: 450g pasta, 4pcs eggs, 500ml cream, shredded cheese, sweet ham & bacons, green onions and garlic, cooking oil.

Sentimental Friday

Last week, I sent messages to all people I love and told them what makes them special for me.
Most of them are miles far from Abu Dhabi.
I did that because I was afraid I will die and will never get the chance to tell them.

My heart just prompted me to be more loving to others this time.
No I am not sick (nor planning on suicide).
I am getting older maybe.
There is a Filipino joke about single- women "walang napaglalabasan ng init" Haha.
Single ladies tend to be more strict, easily agitated, and often moody.
Hopefully I am not like that.
Being alone most of the time, I think and talk to myself all times.
Myself said to myself "If you die later what will you do now?".

Yesterday at work, we received a special email:
