My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • My mom, aunt and I set off at 6 this morning from my place in Abu Dhabi to start our travels. We made it to the airport without incident and all was surprisingly smooth for our flight to Amman on Royal Jordanian. After a short flight, we arrived in Jordan for a short layover. As soon as we stepped out of the plane I was loving the weather’s lack of humidity and a…

  • Because driving in the UAE is on the same side as the States, it is quite simple to transfer licenses across. In Abu Dhabi (AD), you will need to make a trip to the Transport Authorities (AD Police) after receiving a residence visa. You will need a no-objection letter from your company, a copy of your passport, original driver’s license, residence visa, two passport-size photos, and a total of 200dhs. When you arrive…

  • Almost a year ago a drunken statement madePut into motion the uniting of our hearts.Though time would pass and plans waylaidTo keep us physically apart, Nothing could stop the emotions from colliding.Nothing could stop the tears from falling.Nothing could stop the aching.Nothing can stop the loving. Now we move forward at a rapid paceHoping for a future with each otherPlanning how to always be face to faceAnd knowing somehow we’ll find a way…

  • There was a time when I didn’t need to knowThere was a time when I thought the answer was clearThere was a time when I imagined it didn’t really matterIf I ever found you There was a time when I didn’t want to knowThere was a time when I thought there were no answers to fearThere was a time when I imagined it would only make me sadderIf I ever found you Now…

  • The sky is a perfect blueAs I make my way back to you. The clouds make a perfect blanket of whiteAs I imagine being in your arms tonight. The sun shines brightly through the windowAs I accept what my heart already did know – No matter how scared I might feelThese feelings we have are for real. -T~May 23, 2009

  • It was when we moved to the CityThat it began – the leaving of my heart from yours It was when I found my own courseThat it seemed away from you I ran without pity It was when I started succeedingThat you began to lose your way It was when “I love you” became harder to sayThat for a separation was my pleading It was when your stress was so highThat you looked…

  • A bit delayed as I play catch up with my life, but I took an 8-day trip to Egypt during my first term break. Living in the UAE makes it very convenient to travel to a number of countries. As Egypt has been on my top 3 list since I was 8-years-old, I figured that was the best place to start. Check out the daily adventures from my trip on Blogger!!! More trips…

  • Tonight I was asked,“So, Tara, where is your family located?” I paused to consider what the question really meant;I knew that was not the real question. I responded,“In Oregon. In the States.” “Is the rest of your family in Japan, then?”As I expected, he didn’t really want to know where my family is. I replied,“Well, I’m not Japanese.
