    Understanding Ramadan

    March 22, 2024 /

    It has been almost 15 years and that means it’s been 15 years that I get to experience this season called Ramadan. What is Ramadan? Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. During this month Muslims believed    that that first verses of Quaran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. It is the season of prayer and fasting specifically for a month for our brothers and sisters in the Islam religion. Throughout Ramadan, Muslims undertake fasting – abstaining food and drinks from dawn to sunset. They believed that this is a process of purifying the soul and draws them closer to Allah (God). They also mark this period with…

    UAE Holiday – Prophet Muhammad’s Birthday

    September 28, 2023 /

    Hello hello Creatives! ✨ This month, I’m celebrating my 15th Year in the UAE! Imagine that! Never did I thought that I’d last more than a decade and running to the second one in this totally new country. Flash back 2008 – I moved to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates,  check out that story here > FLASHBACK – Living in the World’s Richest City. Fast forward 15 years, I can only think of a very few contents about the UAE’s culture – so  I thought, since tomorrow is a holiday – maybe I can share what the holidays in the UAE & what are its significance. Annually, most of the…

    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…

    22 Feb 2019 | Dubai So Far . . .

    February 22, 2019 /

    It’s been a year. Well, technically, 9 months (not counting my 5 months in Cebu)…  In this 8 months, our Fridays have always been booked for the community activities and Kokobear’s day off falls on the same day. Thus, it means our time to explore the new city is limited but it hasn’t stop us from enjoying some of its views.  We’ve visited a couple of parks, toured the malls: IBN Battuta, Dubai Marina Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Mall. I’ve toured 3 Day-to-Day shops in Rigga, Burjuman and Union. hehehe – that “kuripot” (stingy) in me still love going to this type of shop. And of course, we’ve…

    10 Things I love about UAE

    December 6, 2018 /

    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. Of course not perfect but surely you can depend on it. Access to schools, hospitals, parks, malls are easy. 2. Baqala This is a mini-store (sari-sari store) version of Abu Dhabi. So far I haven’t seen this in Dubai. But…

    HomeCycle Dubai – RECYCLING plastic bottles made easy!

    November 29, 2018 /

    * * * 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. So instead of simply throwing our empty plastic bottled water I started collecting them and have dedicated a space at home where I could store them until I reach the minimum quota for collection. * * * As for me and Kokobear, we are (unfortunately) using bottled water in 1.5 liters because this is an easier option for us due to accessibility of our location. And yes, some may say that we can opt for a better option which…

    Ten (10) Years, 10 Lessons (as an OFW)

    September 25, 2018 /

      Ten (10) Years, 10 Lessons as an OFW Disclaimer: All opinions are personal and I don’t generalize all. It’s what I learned and that I notice them too often that it definitely left a mark into this OFW life. This is my first passport bucketlist ✓: To have my first passport stamped before it expires. lol 🤣🤣🤣   So, I took my passport in 2005 without any intention of an international travel… only to have one solid ID on my belt whenever a government company would require. But at the back on my mind, I told myself – I want it stamped before it expires. Bucket-list checked! ✓ This is another post…
