my goal..

this is not something big.. it's just something i set for myself so i could focus on it...like my light at the end of the tunnel..you see, i am overworked (?!) right now, by that, i mean, i can no longer log in in FB in my office computer. (haayy..)

i am doing tons of paperwork in the office, but our project is only up to may 4th..and since the structure will (needs to be) finish(ed) on that date, the paperworks will take like 25 days to finish..so  roughly that will be on the 30th..
tsk tsk... so i'm starting early, i'm organizing my documents so that it won't take me that long to submit my paperworks..my goal is to go back home by the 15th, or the 20th at the latest!

wish me luck! :)

had a great day today! well, because i didn't have to go to work yey! went to dubai for my visa renewal (and that means blood needs to be pumped out from my arm to test if i have any virus and that i am eligible to work in uae hehe)....

had a chance to meet up with old friends too...

thanks guys for the superb lunch!

i was wrong...

and am i thankful for that...uhm i'm talking about the weather..thought it's gonna be  the start of hotter days, but no, the mornings at the bus stop are still chilling to the bones..

am not complaining..:)

foggy morning

 These were taken yesterday morning at around 6:15am while I was on my way to the bus stop. This means the cold days will soon be over and we'll soon be welcoming(?) humid days and the scorching heat. Lunch break will be for 3 hours (at least for site people) for the 2 summer months (July & August) because here, it's against the law to work outside from 12-3pm when the heat is at its worst. 

True enough, the sun was up early this morning eager to shed its rays on the desert sands....Welcome summertime!:)

scam

Since I've been surfing the net almost every night, I may have entered my email add in some sites and some people may have seen this as a chance for a rip-off.  Tsk! tsk!..In two days, I have received separate emails from my two 'friends' (one from each each day) saying that she was stuck in a hotel in London, robbed of everything and may i please send her 1450pounds through Western Union which in the current situation is the best choice? 

The first one was written in Tagalog, which was the literal Tagalog translation of the second. 
Hear this - on the second letter, it starts with 'Hello. How's everything on your end?...'  
The first one read - 'Hello. Paano's lahat ng bagay sa iyong dulo?' Har har!!
Really! What are these people thinking? 

Good I didn't have the money. :)

my neighborhood

This is where I live right now..

Madinat Zayed in Abu Dhabi. I live on the 5th floor and right across the street is a grocery store where we buy our groceries from rice to bread to toiletries, etc. On the ground floor is the meat shop where we go for bulalo, fruits and veggies next door, where I first bought zucchini, (yummy!!), and the next building houses a Filipino store, where I buy bagoong, argentina corned beef and boy bawang...:)

P.S.
I later learned that it was not zucchini after all.  But it really was yummy.
