10 Things I love about UAE
Ten (10) Things I love about UAE As a continuation of my 10th year anniversary of being an expat in the UAE for the past decade, I am sharing ten (10) things that I love most in the Emirates. I could give more than 10 but this are the ones that comes first. 1. Accessibility Everything is accessible. I mean transportation is efficient and bus timing are on time.

HomeCycle Dubai – RECYCLING plastic bottles made easy!
* * * I recently saw a Facebook post regarding plastic bottles being collected by HomeCycle. This kabayan shared her little way of helping the environment and it has inspired me.

And yes, some may say that we can opt for a better option which…

So I just answered her that maybe she hasn’t discovered it yet. Indeed now, I realized we all have – we just need to take the time and effort to discover it and learn more about it. These steps are simple,…

Why is the Weather Hard to Predict?
There are a lot of people who would like to know what the weather in next few days is going to be. You even want to know what the weather will be tomorrow. This will help you plan how you are going to spend your day. For example, you would like to spend time with your family. If the weather is going to be good, you’d like to take advantage of this.

Everyone can be CREATIVE!
On my earlier posts, I have defined what creativity is for me. Yes, it takes courage to proclaim it but again I do believe that everyone can be creative.
