Hosting Gig @ St. Mary’s Church Dubai
This post is a month late, but still managed to finally publish it. :) *** Sharing a little bit of this extra-ordinary/first time experience. <3 How many times do you get invited into hosting an event in church? Rare! I guess. Mine came, on my birthday month. Originally I was supposed to host the Dress Like Mary Contest on 19 May but it was moved due to minimal participants. Relieved, I was happy that I don’t need to continue it because to be honest I don’t have a hosting experience in church.…

Milk Teas in Dubai UAE
Joining the current fad back in the Philippines, I have made my own quest of #MilkTea is life Dubai version. I scouted Dubai and found some Cafe’s that offers this refreshing and crazy-asian feel milk tea boom! A lil history here. . . WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? Majority would probably trace back MilkTeas started in Taiwan in the’80s. Some debate about who is responsible for the phenomenon. Some believe it that Chef Liu Han Chieh, owner of Chun Shui Tang in the city of Taichung, created it by mixing syrup, milk tea and pieces of fruit. The first time tapioca pearls were said to be added by Tu Tsung…

DIY – MER 2 Giveaways
Hi there! Another DIY blogpost here! It’s called 💝 love + light 💡. MER or Marriage Enrichment Retreat is a pastoral formation teaching for married couples in our community, MFC Missionary Families of Christ in the UAE.

Hiatus 3.0 – JM Kayne, signing in & back at it
Hello family and friends! WARNING: This post doesn’t have a photo. Only words – words from my heart. It’s been a while… I’m happy to be back after the third year in a row that I went MIA during the lent season. For some of you it might be a first but some friends know the drill. To be honest, that’s the only sacrifice I’ve made this lent. I was planning to do the “no soda” too but my brother-in-law was in town, so it was tough to keep up. Anyway, I’m dropping this blog post as a short wrap-up of the things/activities I’ve done in the past 40 days.…

Dubai – Abra, Gold Suoq, Spices and more!
This blog post is a short photo blog of our recent visit to Dubai Creek’s GRAND SOUQ DIERA (the OLD DUBAI City Centre). It is where we ride the abra (at 1 AED per ride), a boat going to the other end of the souq and been greeted with a big tourist crowd also exploring the market. We found the Gold souq, souvenirs of all sorts, a pretty porcelain and hand crafted design plates, colorful spices, shawls, magnets and all other crafts plus more! It’s actually my second time here, and yet this time, I feel like I belong more than just a tourist from Abu Dhabi. This time I…

What Causes Creativity
I’m a big believer that everyone is creative! “Everyone Can be Creative”…therefore in this blog post I’d like to share what causes creativity. Creativity stems in each one of us, into our very being. God has given us gifts in various forms for us to make the people around us happy, inspired and blossom as well to the kind of person they are destined to become. We give inspiration and we feed our souls (and the others) to do their own too. 1. CONFIDENCE The ability to question without fear, the ability to care for your art and what you bring out of it. 2. OBSERVATION Seeing problems and…
