June bride…
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…

Lost in Thought…
I was visiting with friends yesterday who are leaving the UAE next month. We were overdue to catch up, but seeings how they just had their second child, it is natural that time has passed so quickly without hanging out. It was amazing to reminisce that in the time I met them and we became…

Busy weekends…
This is the last weekend of the course I was taking for the past six weeks. Now, I will have to focus on readings related to my doctorate again, but I’m up for it. One of the good things about taking the online course is that by procrastinating on my tasks, I got a lot…

The iPhone Saga
ON NOT FINDING THE PHONE AND CONTACTING POLICE Well, on April 25th I posted about my iPhone being stolen. It was a sad and frustrating day on the 24th. While I had hoped that eventually my phone would be returned to me, I waited a few days to no avail. Finally, I called and cancelled…
