The Island Girl has awarded me with a beautiful tag that says I’m a blogger and I rock.  Thanks for including me!    

Island Life - I, too, couldn’t remember where I blog-hopped to get to Kailani’s site but have been an avid reader since day one.   
Here’s passing the honor (in no particular order):

…and year 2007 is done. Time flies too fast.
It’s the end of June. Would you believe, I have accomplished more than 30 posts this month. Lots of time in my hands, my friends..chuckle, chuckle and more chuckle. Also, I have ‘expanded’ my chanels by signing up to contests and give-aways and to blog carnivals.
This month was a […]

I got this at Karin’s… and answered to satisfy my boredom at the office one Sunday. Here’s spilling some facts about me.
Facts about G:
1. Were you named after anyone?
Maybe? but not after anyone as in a person although I would like to think they thought of Grace Kelly when I was born. Seriously, I was given […]

Don’t scream now but I have not had alcohol for more than six months already. For non-drinkers, I’d get a duh! in the face but for my friends and former office colleagues in Japan, I’ll get a high-pitched unbelievable!
Wait! I was not heading to rehab prior to our move to Dubai. Got to get that straight […]

Roundabouts - do you just hate them or I mean HATE them?
From where I got my driving license and practiced my driving, there are NO roundabouts. We had proper traffic signal lights, that’s it. No complications, few accidents. When we went to the UK last year, I thought that roundabouts was just really weird. Pardon me English […]

We might have our differences but I must admit, I will not be able to work without her. I can’t imagine any other person taking care of my daughter genuinely like she does so we were off to the Immigration Department this morning to change her visa, making her stay her as long as we’re here. 
According to the rules:
