Before anything else, I want to share a photo of the mosque near our hostel. It is right behind our building and I sat on one of the park benches quite a few times while I wait for Celine do some shopping at the convenience store. We totally got lost and accidentally took a longer…

Dubai Series: A Day at the Gardens and a Quickie at the Mall [2019.11.11]
We literally visited two gardens on this day, with a short stopover at a mall. We had a really funny morning because we wanted to visit the Carrefour nearby, but we couldn’t figure out where the entrance is. Seriously, we circled it and tried opening a door but it doesn’t open. We gave up and…
Sharjah & Desert Safari [2019.11.10]
We spent our 4th day in Sharjah. In fair, we were able to visit 3 out of the 7 emirates. Also, Desert Safari was scheduled for this day. LOULOUA BEACH RESORT Ok, I only have good feelings for this resort. Everyone was so nice to us – I think it helps that Celine’s cousin works…

Dubai Series: Beach, Cats, and Global Village [2019.11.08]

A Day in Abu Dhabi [2019.11.07]
Ok, I know it’s been a while since the intro blog entry here, but it’s so hard to find inspiration to blog these days, despite having so much time at home due to ECQ. I don’t know if I mentioned in the previous blog that our itinerary changed a few times and we even thought…
HELLO LOVE, DUBAI TRAVEL PREP [2019.11.06-13]
Sounds like naman ah! Ok, first things first. The preparations! While we booked this a long time ago, we didn’t start preparing until about a month before our trip. FLIGHT AND VISA We booked our ticket via Cebu Pacific in March 2019 for PHP4,676.89. This was totally unplanned, we still didn’t have a destination for…
SEA YOU NEXT YEAR!
I started 2019 with no job and an almost empty bank account. But I made one good decision in the last few days of January, and everything else followed. I have written briefly about this on my birthday post on Insta, but I really am grateful for my job. Aside from the expected stuff like…
