My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • 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…

  • It’s been a quiet day today, which is good. I went to bed early last night and got a full eight hours of sleep, which still had me up at 6.30 this morning. 😉 Since my headache was gone, I attempted to try running outside this morning, but the neighborhood is not exactly conducive for running and perhaps I was a hamster in my other life as I just prefer the treadmill. It…

  • One night with not enough sleep and then having to wake up earlier than desired today has led to a tired Tara. Also, I’m wondering if the cloudy weather has triggered my migraine today or if it’s from being tired or a series of sources. In any case, it’s not very convenient for vacay! 🙁 After the cleaners left, I took some meds and a nap. Sadly, I had to cancel plans for…

  • Although I should not complain about getting good help when the Western world sees it as a luxury, in this part of the world, it’s a way of life. With both of us studying and working full-time, one area that gets lost is a regular and thorough cleaning. Since most people hire housekeepers/nannies/maids, who are we to say no? 😉 When we moved to the new apartment, there were advertisements for a new…

  • Only got about five hours of sleep last night. I’m not sure why… I did go to bed around 2am, but thought I would sleep in…. Anyway, yesterday was a fairly good day, though not necessarily study-productive. I did get quite a bit of reading done, but it’s taking me longer to get through some books than I had hoped. I guess I just have high expectations… 😛 I headed out of the…

  • This is just a small view of the things I have planned to get through this week. 😀 I managed to accomplish in small doses everything on my list yesterday, though not necessarily as much as I had hoped for one day. Still, it is holiday and as long as I get bits done each day, I can feel content that the days aren’t being wasted. Today, I woke up pretty refreshed after…

  • It dawned on me this morning that this is perhaps the first time in three years that I have stayed put during a holiday. It’s a little weird. Also, I haven’t been on my own for a while, so I have to admit that I’m quite a bit excited about the week. 🙂 After dropping off R at the airport this morning, I had a short run and then a swim and an…
