• As part of my Japan visit, I decided to take the short two-hour flight over to Seoul to see my long-time adoptee friend, K. The last time I met up with her or had been to Korea was just before I moved to Abu Dhabi; thus it had been just over five years. As always, we picked right up where we left off and reminisced on days of old when we were young…

  • Today was a day of relaxation and eating! 😀 The morning kicked off with some Ethan-time looking at his programs created using Scratch – game software. It looked pretty cool.

  • Spring break has begun! Without wasting any time, I was on a plane to Japan to catch up with my BFF. 😉 P joined me for the flight over as she is on her own tour of Japan and we had the first night to hang out. J had everything prepared for me to relax and settle in before we whirled out to Roppongi for dinner and some night-time cherry blossom viewing. [shashin…

  • The second concert for this year was Renee Fleming. Although I’m not always into opera, Ms Fleming is legendary and it was a really nice concert. The orchestra was also wonderful. Here are some videos and pics. [shashin type=”album” id=”85″ size=”medium” crop=”n” columns=”max” caption=”y” order=”date” position=”center”]

  • It is pouring down raining and it is March 26! I cannot remember the last time it rained this time of the year. My first year here, it poured and poured rain for about three days flooding the streets. However, it rained in February. This is extremely strange weather….It looks like it is going to last all day…. It’s raining, it’s pouring…. 😛 -T 😀

  • Just two more days until the hols and I really need the break! 😀

  • It’s been an interesting few days, I must say. I have realized how very sensitive I am to others’ and their needs. I have also come to understand just how much I give and need to be given back to for fulfillment. When I start to care about people, I tend to give too much perhaps in hopes that by giving everything they could want they will never leave me. However, I also…

  • This has to be one of my favorite times of the year even though it coincides with my spring break. The Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Festival is always a good time to get a bit of culture in. 😀 About a month ago, they kicked off with a concert “Gustavo Dudamel & the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela“, which was quite lovely, though there may have been a few too many…

  • Today has been amazingly quiet and lazy. Woke up at 5.30 – went back to sleep until 8.30. Got up around 9ish and had some breakfast. Went to yoga at 10. Went to get my nails done around 11.45 and returned by 2. Was at the pool for two hours soaking up the sun and relaxing. Came inside – cats and I took a short nap. Did some blogging and am now going…
