Just because I got some fabulous shots of Mt. Fuji in Japan from a friend, I’m posting my favorite here.

It’s that time of the year again when I wish I could bring my cross stitching kit, books and probably a portable DVD player to watch and see movies I missed, my daughter and her coloring books and crayons…..at work.

A children’s CD even the adults can enjoy? I am not kidding!
I never thought I would enjoy That Baby CD/DVD as much as my 4 year old does. I thought the songs are the same typical jumpy redundant children’s songs but its’ not. The CD is full of soothing, mellow folky-country songs made popular Joni […]

In one of our long talks and my mindless chatter, I asked M if my going to the gym and doing cardio exercise for at least 30 minutes resulting in two very wet shirts will evah make a difference, he replied:
“Have you ever seen a runner/marathoner who’s fat?”

Oh, good point certainly not! Running is a good exercise […]

In July last year, Dubai introduced a new electronic toll system popularly known as Salik - which means “open” or “clear” in effort to curb heavy gridlocks in this rapidly growing city. Great use of technology, though - it is a free flow tolling system without toll gates, barriers or booths, no toll collectors and allows […]

After working for more than a year, I am finally eligible for my annual leave! Most companies in Dubai give expatriates 30 days of paid vacation every 12 months of service plus an economy class ticket to their home country.
