We had an emergency situation yesterday in the early hours of the morning. We rushed our girl to the hospital due to a sudden, out of the blue, where did that come from sort of asthma attack that troubles me to no end.
The doctor told me many Dubai residents, as soon as they landed here, […]

I couldn’t post a bad hair photo for this week’s photo hunt without over-exposing my daughter’s face (or mine - I do have bad hair days too) so I’m not going to participate this week.

I plan to search for my photo files again and see if I can have something to represent the bad hair […]

Out of the blue yesterday afternoon, my aunt who work as […]

I could not sleep well last Friday night. I woke up 5 times from 12 midnight to 6am. Imagine, that is an overwhelming every hour of waking up! My husband who has left for Japan last week is headed back here, expected to arrive at 5am Saturday morning at Dubai International Airport; that thought must […]

We got three days off from work and school and although we actually thought of visiting some random neighboring country, we actually didn’t and would you believe, we, particularly, I, just stayed […]

My birthday came and went. Thanks to everyone who greeted me in my Thursday Thirteen post.
