It’s Eid al-Adha, what’s your plan?
Eid al-Adha is one of the many holidays that UAE and other muslim countries celebrates. There are 2 Eid celebrations: One is Eid al-Fitr that’s the end of the Ramadan season and the upcoming one on 31st August is Eid al-Adha. It is also known as the Big Eid probably because it is usually noted as a long holiday (including the weekends). This Eid is also called as the Sacrifies Feast, in honor of Abraham who willingly sacrificed/offered his son as an act of submission to God’s command. Pretty much the same story with what we Christians have in the holy bible. With the holiday approaching, what’s your plan?!? You’d…

On Passion: A #TakeHome on Communication & Public Speaking
Communication & Public Speaking. The above photo has a direct link of the slides or presentation I used recently in delivering a talk about one of my passion. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a teacher. I opt to act as a teacher and gather younger kids in my place to be my students. And yes I enjoyed it.

After the Hiatus
After the Hiatus – or before, this is what it was . . . It’s been 40 days (and a day) since I left Facebook for a soul-searching or an offering for the Holy week, I call it a sacrifice. I also gave up soda during those days and this is a public confession. The Cola Challenge I took a few sip in 3 or 4 occasions over the 40 days – I think I did it at least 5 times?!?. The oily/yummy viand signals your mind that it is so good to take even just a sip is indeed a challenge. I struggled and felt guilty – but the good thing…
