    Milk Teas in Dubai UAE

    June 18, 2019 /

    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…

    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. It has a series of talk and has the vibes of a love forum/wedding mood. As part of the service team, Kokobear and I were assigned to do the creative side on video presentation and giveaways. Koko did the video and mine is the giveaways. So this is what I came up. A bulb with lights inside and we added the family photo of the participant. A 🎀 ribbon and a heart…

    Goal Setting – The Four Questions to Answer

    April 30, 2019 /

    I’ve come across Amber Rae’s blog post on Goal Setting: Four Questions to Ask When Setting Your Next Goal. In that blog post she explained her own answers to these 4 questions and as I launched my GOAL of releasing my book/workbook The Creative Passport, I’d like to answer them too. These are the 4 QUESTIONS: What is your goal? Why do you want to do this? How do you want to feel in the pursuit of your goal? And what can you do to feel that way?   1. What is your goal? My goal is to release the Passion Project that I’ve worked with for the past year since…

    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!

    April 10, 2019 /

    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…

    Dubai – Emirati Food @ Al Bait Alqadeem R&C

    April 8, 2019 /

    Al Bait Alqadeem Emirati Heritage Restaurant & Cafe, (Near Al Ras Metro Station (Old Dubai) It’s been a decade since I first moved to the UAE, but this will be my first ever authentic Emirati cuisine experience. This has become possible because Kokobear together with John2x (my bro-in-law) and Gladys (his gf) have decided to visit the Gold Souk at Diera (old city in Dubai) today. It was just a simple site-seeing session, riding the Abra, looking around some spices at the Suoq, also souvenirs for John to bring back to Italy and gold hopping! hehe As the night catches us up, we’ve decided to look for a place for…
