Through the generosity of my landlord, I am now sleeping in a real bed. He had let me use their spare bed. Thank you!
When I came here last year, I have stayed for a month in a hotel which of course meant having an elegant bed with it’s sheets being replaced almost everyday. But since the time I left the hotel and moved to this flat, I had been humbly sleeping in a mattress laying in the floor. Well, not anymore. I am now elevated to some inches higher. Nyahahaha!
Going home with a decent bed waiting to embrace you for a night sleep is an extra consolation after a whole day’s work. Too good to be true! ZZZzzzzzzz!
Look who’s in town?! Yes! The events princess of Sunny company made a short visit in Dubai. I am a bit honored to be part of her schedule. Hahaha! I know she will not agree with my statement.
Together with her Dubai-based friend, Cherryl, I met them at the Mall of Emirates around past five in the afternoon. Of course, nothing to be done but shopping; though she revealed that they had been to Dubai Outlet Mall and was so enchanted with bargain prices which is typically one of Dubai’s main attraction. Branded items at a cheaper price.
After moving around, we stopped at Cinnabon to have a snack and exchanged updates about the latest buzz in the Sunny company. She handed over an envelope containing picture cards from some of my group of friends in PH. I appreciate the thoughts though the pictures are somewhat naughty. Thanks guys!
From MOE, we decided to move to Madinat Jumeirah. This is a hotel-mall beside the famous Burj Al Arab (7-star hotel). We had dinner at a Japanese resto. I personally enjoyed the unending chats that we didn’t even noticed the time. I have even come to know that Cherryl’s office is just beside our office in DOZ. Small world! We ended the night at around past 11 pm. Since they are using car lift, they had asked the driver to drop me first in my flat. To my surprise, princess Tania even gave me a souvenir token from Scotland; the country she visited prior to Dubai. Few hours from now, she will be flying back to Manila. Until next time!
If I want my dreams to come true, I mustn’t oversleep.
The happiness of my life depends on the quality of my thoughts.
One thing I can give and still keep … is my word.
If I lack the courage to start, I have already finished.
One thing I can’t recycle is wasted time.
Ideas won’t work unless ‘ I ‘ do! .
My mind is like a parachute…it functions only when open.
The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime! It is never too late to become what I might have been.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don’t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
I do not commute nor ride any vehicle in going to the office. My daily route is powered by a 15 to 20 minutes walking. Some may say it is good for the health. It may be true especially during the winter season where pumping your blood is a must to get you moving. But now that the real 30 to 40 degrees summer has started, walking under the heat of the sun is a disaster. Thus upon reaching the office, I have to gulp more than two cups of cold water.
With this daily walking, I have accustomed myself to same scenarios and same people. Same group of kids waiting for their school buses. Same faces of strangers who are walking towards my direction. Same cars parked along the road. Same delivery trucks in the nearby grocery store. Same security guards. Same street cleaners.
However, there are few instances when the routine takes a break. That is, when I don’t report to work. Or, when I go on a different route which obviously takes a longer time. Or, when some unfortunate things happen like when I was hit by a bicycle while crossing a street.
Honestly, I do not know how to end this piece. Ha!ha!ha! Keep walking …
