Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – 50 days to go!
Just realized that I missed writing yesterday as I spent it at the pool. I had meant to do some writing and work, but instead just enjoyed spacing out, watching people and relaxing. It was a good alternative. 🙂 Today is rainy, so I have no excuse not to get some things done. Unfortunately, I…

Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – Quiet days
Nothing new to report. Just having some quiet days – reading, swimming, sleeping and relaxing. That’s what my two-week relaxing hiatus is for, right?

This is a sweet story…. Back when I first came to Abu Dhabi, I was a big Couchsurfing participant since I had all kinds of space just for lil’ ol’ me. I was getting a lot of visitors, but enjoyed the company and experience. One of the early requests came from an Emirati woman, Mimi,…

Container Gardening – Summer temps…
It’s been a while since I last updated on my container gardening adventure. The tomatoes seem to be the best survivors in this weather and my gardening style. There are some carrots, but nothing really worth talking about. I attempted to revive some zucchini plants, but they seem to be stubborn about wanting to bear…
