THE HOLY MONTH OF RAMADAN

Today is the start of Ramadan here in the middle East. It is my 2nd time to experience it. I may not be a muslim but not eating and drinking for 8 hours in the morning makes me like I'm one of them. In the office, pantries are closed and only be open at 6 pm after fasting is finished. So imagine yourself working for 8 hours, eating and drinking is strictly prohibited and being in that situation is a very tough one specially when you are starting to have a double vision hehehehe. I am lucky last year since I am not in the head office, I can still eat and drink without being caught, but now it's a hard one, the only option is to eat inside the comfort room. Yes, people here at the head office do it secretly by eating inside the comfort room since pantries are closed. Ladies are lucky enough since inside thier comfort rooms doesn't smell bad, and what about ours,? goodluck! I don't wanna mention how gross it is eating inside men's room. So how can I survive this? Eating heavy meal before leaving the house, drinking plenty of water too. I am also bringing chocolates to give me energy the whole day, but still not enough to keep you full, so i bring small cup cakes kept to my pocket and eat them secretly and banana and I have no choice but to eat inside the comfort room.




This is for one month and I hope I can survive it coz I can't afford to lose weight hehehe. To all muslims Ramadan Kareem to you, and to all non-muslims enjoy eating hehehe.



THE HEAT IS ON (GEARING UP FOR SUMMER)

Hottah! Hottah! yan ang sigaw ko ngayon dito sa Qatar as in mapapasigaw ka sa init ng tubig tuwing maliligo ako. Imbes na mapreskohan ako e lalo akong pinagpapawisan after maligo. Ikaw ba naman ang maligo ng mainit na tubig pati itlog ko eh nagiging hard boiled!

Seriously, the weather here in Qatar has changed already and all i can say is it's summah time!. If people are going to the beaches to relax, here all you can do is just stay home and cool yourself because going to the beach will not make you relax, instead it will burn you hahaha. Well, if you are rich enough like the locals here and afford to spend summer in Europe why not? And it's the season also where Qataris migrate, yes, they leave their country with their whole family and spend  3 months in Europe and thus making us people in travel agency busy.

Going further, how do you prepare for summer? Buying swimming attire? Looking for vacation places? Well for me, stocking water on plastic bottles and cooling them on the fridge and use for my daily bath hehehe. Water coming from the faucet is extremely hot and we do not have water cooler. Damn! this is the most annoying season where in going out is not a good idea. And to date yesterday was about 47 degrees outside and temperature could rise up to 50 specially during the month of August. So expect nose bleed from me during this time.   

TO GO HOME OR NOT TO GO

It's been months na since my last entry ko dito sa blog na ito, muntik ko nang makalimutan password ko hehehe. I've been too much busy the past few months, sa work, sa lalake at sa iba pang mga bagay hehehe, in short tinamad na akong magsulat hehehe.

Well anyway now I'm in the mood for writing again, buhayin muli ang namatay kong blog hehehe.

Mag iisang taon na ako dito sa Qatar, ilang linggo nalang ang bibilangin ko, dati eto yung mga araw na hinihintay kong ma release ang visa ko. Ang bilis talaga ng panahon, para lang akong nakatulog nang mahimbing. Akala ko magiging mahirap para sa akin ang mag abroad. Kahit wala akong mga kakilala dito ay sumugod pa rin ako, pero in God's grace, naging okay naman ang buhay ko at na enjoy ko naman.

Ngayon eto nga't mag-iisang taon na ako at malapit nang magbakasyon. Iniisip ko if tatapusin ko nlng ang isang taon dito at mag reresign na or bibigyan ko pa ang aking sarili ng isa pang taon. Hindi naman sa ayaw ko na dito sa Qatar, it just so happened na hindi ko nalang gusto ang company ko. Nakaka frustrate lang kase ang sahod tapos ang hirap pa ng trabaho ko. Iniisip ko kase na parang magsasayang lang ako ng oras if magtatagal ako dito kesa sa humanap ng mas magandang trabaho. Gusto ko na sana dito, kaya lang hindi masyadong sinuwerte sa company. Marami ring mga pinoy at hindi lang mga pinoy kundi ibang lahi din ang hindi na satisfied sa company kaya ganun na lang karami ang mga nagreresign taon taon.

Ang balak ko kase is mag cross country sa UAE, so instead na uuwi ng pinas ay direstso nalang sana ako dun at maghanap ng trabaho. Ang hirap kasing mabakante ngayon at nkakapagod magsimula sa umpisa. ayaw ko nang mag trabaho sa pinas dahil mas nakakalungkot yun. Kaya ngayon, pinag iisipan kong mabuti ang desisyon na aking gagawin.

Nakapag desisyon na akong dina muna magbabakasyon this september, pero nag dadalawang isip pa ako if magreresign ako or hinde.

I NEED INSPIRATION

It's been a year now since I broke up with my ex, and it's been a year that I'm single. I met many but dated a few but no one gave me the spark which I'm looking. Sometimes, I want remain single, at least somehow I can do anything that I want, and I can flirt anyone whom I like hehehe, but I missed the times that someone is calling me, greets me every morning. I missed the times that someone is cuddling me, and most importantly, I missed having an inspiration.

Right now, I'm into dating again, and I don't know how far this would go. The guy seems that he likes me although he is not telling me straight. I know and I can sense his intentions and it's too obvious with his actions. The problem is, again there is no chemistry, or maybe it's too early to tell since we just dated a couple of times. But i know myself very well, I can tell if i like the guy even if we just met for the first time. I just hope that this dating will work out for both of us because I'm quite tired also in finding the right person for me. Oh cupid where are you now?

Hatched this way not Born This Way

The most awaited music video of lady Gaga is now finally released. I just seen it today and hmmm I smell controversy (and since when Lady Gaga didn't become controversial?)specially on the first part of the video. I like the song so much and based on the video I was kinda confused on the concept. I saw here how awkward lady Gaga dances.

Birthday Celebration

This Morning I received a birthday greetings from my dad

"hi anak, happy birthday, 27 years old kana, anong birthday wish mo? Sana makahanap kana ng girl friend mo dyan," and i told myself "goodluck!"

It was a memorable day for me last friday, it was my 27th birthday and i threw a party for my friends here in Qatar. Everyone came in their red outfits as it was a Red Party, a post valentine's day and a birthday party for me. We rocked Intercontinental hotel as we party all night long. It was indeed a great party and I was overwhelmed that my guests managed to wear red. I made them a little bit disappointed because I failed to serve alcoholic drinks, but I'm sure all their tummies were satisfied with the food that I served.

Another year was added to my age, nearly getting out of the calendar. I hope the next coming years would be more fuitful and hoping for better years. 

BAD NIGHT

I had a bad sleep last night, aside from my horror dream, my housemates from the Himalayas once again cooking food with a terrible smell yuck! I couldn't get to sleep because my sense of smell is complaining about the dreadful smell of the food they are cooking. My air freshener is not enough to reduce the bad smell coming inside our room. I don't know why is it that everyday they cook the same food with the same odor which pollutes our house, I just couldn't bear it. I'd rather inhale a bottle of rugby than take that smell everyday! My God please spare us from these people!

With the help of my air freshener, I was finally get into sleep, however, i had the worst dream ever! Who could've thought that Freddy Krueger will interogate my sleep? As if I was in the movie of Nightmare on Elm Street. I was being chased by Freddy and no matter where I go, still he finds me and he kills everyone who rescues me. With his big axe (which confused me if he's freddy or jason) he almost cuts my head and good thing I was able to defend myself because his axe is not that sharp, and thanks to my alarm I was able to wake up and keep my head with me hehehe.
