I joined a group of revellers in a new year's eve party at the desert. Around past 7 p.m. together with three of my flatmates, we headed to the pick-up point where a tourist bus is waiting to bring us to the Lama Desert Campsite. This is the campsite where Extra Challenge's "Pasaway sa Dubai" episode was shot. At the camp's entrance, we were transferred to a 4wd vehicle that brought us to a valley sorrounded by sand dunes.
As soon as we arrived, we immediately took the chance to ride in a camel. One of the highlights is the performance of two exotic belly dancers who took the night by storm. The party is not complete without the mouth-watering barbeque buffet dinner. Water and soda are unlimited. Wines are available with additional fee.
A Filipino group with resemblance to Street Boys had their share of performance. Music was provided literally by a DJ "bombay" from UK. One of the party hostess is a Filipina who rocked the night with her funny antics.
I never imagined celebrating a new year this way. Let me share this sms message I received from my mom on new year's eve.
"365 gifts will soon unwrapped before your eyes. 365 reasons to be thankful to God that in spite of what the days may bring, we have 365 new opportunities to experience God's presence. May each one counts in the fulfillment of our dreams and in the building of our character. Happy New 365 days in 2008!"
