My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • It’s National Day today – December 2nd – and this year is the 40th anniversary of the country’s formation. 40 years young and yet so surprisingly advanced. The Emiratis do love their country, I mean who wouldn’t when your leader gives pay raises just for being a national? Still, there are big plans this weekend for celebrations all over the country in all seven emirates. I have to say that I’m glad that…

  • It takes a while for me to finish projects in pottery because of the time it takes to fire and glaze as well as I can be somewhat inconsistent in attending classes. However, a full batch of items were finished up last week and so here they are!

  • After just one week of planting seeds, the seedlings for almost all of them have gone up like crazy. I already need to transplant some of them before they fall over!

  • My BF went away during the week off that we had vacay, while I stayed here. He brought back some goodies and the cutest was a German gingerbread house – Hansel & Gretel was one of my favorites and this brought back happy thoughtss!

  • I haven’t been writing much about work because I try to pretend that it doesn’t exist when I am at home. However, there have been some interesting activities worth taking photos of…. [shashin type=”photo” id=”4384,4386,4387,4388″ size=”medium” columns=”2″ order=”user” position=”center”]

  • It’s been a couple of months since I last posted about my container gardening. So, here’s an update. I transplanted most of the seedlings and that has been going pretty well. Of 8 tomato plants, 6 have survived so far. About three of them are really growing well (pic will come later). Here are pics of them after a week of transplant – The carrots are questionable as to whether or not they…

  • This time of year is a busy one in Abu Dhabi with events like Formula One, which bring in big names for concerts after the races. Although I hadn’t planned on going to many concerts this year, I already feel like a music groupie. When they announced that Britney Spears was coming to town, I did not lament at the thought that I might miss it since only race ticket holders get general…

  • The last few days have been quite full with socializing and enjoying the free events on offer in the city. So, I will try to catch up here a bit. I got my haircut and highlighted, so I feel better with my hair as it had grown quite a bit. Then, I met my friend and we had lunch at the mall. Then, we saw “The Rum Diary“, which was a pretty entertaining…

  • Wow, I have been busy and am tired…. Will write in more detail tomorrow. 😀

  • Why do the days have to go so quickly?? Today is my first full day off – I’m heading out for a hair appointment, meeting up with a friend whom I haven’t seen in … a while … for lunch and a film, then I might come home for a rest before going to the Beats on the Beach event that is kicking off tonight for the F1 weekend. Last night, I managed…
