some fate huh? »

My aunt who came to Dubai last June 27  to look for a nanny job immediately found one with a lovely Australian family.

THIRTEEN REASONS WHY I BLOG

I have the itch to write all the time.

My work times allow me to do so. I work on Saturdays and Sundays in this globally unsynchronized world. What else is left to do?
