Beautiful Dubai



I have been an expat for 3 years now in Dubai. And as an Expat, working here trains you to be physically, mentally, spiritually, financially ready and steady to live outside of your comfort zone. As I have come to bid goodbye to Dubai, I will share with you my experience and insights of it. 

                                    They say when birds fly low, the country is peaceful to live in.

Dubai is a beautiful destination to visit. Every year, millions of people visit and explore Dubai's finest culture, amazed by the wonderful structures and how fast paced technology is introduced. Its population is composed of large proportion of foreign workers all over the world including Filipinos. Arabic is the official language, but English is commonly used for daily communications of the residents. 

There are a lot of beautiful destinations to visit. My family also had the chance to stay in Dubai for 2 years and we had a wonderful memory to cherish. We traveled in Dubai during the Covid Pandemic days with face mask and face shield. And during those times, we were bold enough to travel into the unknown but excited too as we will all be together in Dubai. 

Our life in Dubai was not the same in Philippines, we had a big beautiful home in our home country, but in Dubai we only rented a flat that we paid monthly. In terms of food, it is also quite different as we do not eat rice three times a day. We sometimes buy shawarma, and we manage to keep up with eating just bread sometimes and vegetables. 

We were also near the beach front, so we take time to breathe a moment even just for an hour before the heat temperature rises again. The location where we stayed have few Filipino expats. Most of our neighbors were Indians, Arabs and Russians. Our location is far from the noise of the city life and it is calming.

When I go to work, I just use a bus lift everyday with pick up and drop off point from our flat to my work destination.

Truly, this was a wonderful experience not only to me and my family. And I thank God for this opportunity that HE gave us to travel abroad all together and live outside of our comfort zone. 
Now, they are all back in the Philippines and we are starting to pack our things to start anew. 

To God be the Glory! 😊











What we do in life echoes in eternity!

Our Hometown Summer Escapade

Image
Magallanes, Sorsogon City - Our hometown is known for the abundant resource of fish drying and fishpond culture producing milkfish, prawns, tilapia and mudcrab. Magallanes is considered a coastal town. It is also known for crop production such as coconut, rice, corn, vegetable, fruits and root crops too, so I decided to take my little sister and nephew there for a summer vacation.  How to Get There We took an early trip by Queens bus at 5:30 in the morning. Fare from Daraga to Sorsogon City is P74/head and from Sorsogon City to Magallanes Sorsogon is P75/head. It was a 3 hour trip from Daraga, Albay before we reach our destination. The kids felt that the trip was an expedition, because of its long and winding road and the fresh air that we breathe along the way . * Van from Daraga, Albay to Sorsogon City is P85/head Yes! We will have fun and need more food to eat along the way. Welcome to My Hometown We arrived at Magallanes 11 in the morning. Our vac...

When A Movie Captures Your Heart - "WILD"

Image
“The universe, I’d learned, was never, ever kidding. It would take whatever it wanted and it would never give it back.” - Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail I never knew that I would love a biographical drama film. As a movie addict, I love watching action, thriller and comedy movies, but “Wild” truly captured my heart based on  Cheryl Strayed’s Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail . Reese Witherspoon portrayed the character of Cheryl Strayed who decides to hike a thousand miles alone to heal her broken heart, the death of her mother and unruly behavior. Wild is a movie everyone can relate to. It depicts healing a broken heart in all forms and getting to know yourself better by experiences. It may be a painful experience which turns into fear, and maybe most of the time people around you thinks that you are strong enough to handle everything.  And yes! Being strong is the only option we have. Th...

Mt. Buntis and Bonifacio Trial House

Image
June 12, 2015 - My first solo hike was fun, so I decided to schedule my next hike for the coming long weekend vacation. And yes! I have nailed it. I decided to take the road less traveled by many, so I hiked at Mt. Buntis: On the Trail of Bonifacio. It is called such because of its pregnant belly of a woman. The Maragondon range comprises the form of this woman, with Mt. Palay-Palay at Pico de Loro (which I have climbed recently this month) forming the face. There are other 20 peaks at the Maragondon range, waiting to be explored and discovered. For me, it was an easy climb though it has a muddy trail because I consider it as a rainforest mountain. People living there are lucky because they get to experience rain these days. How to get there 7:15 am - I left our house at Imus Cavite for SM Bacoor 7:30 am - 8:30 am - Rode a bus going to Maragondon (P55.00) 8:30 am - 9:00 am - Went to the Municipal Hall of Maragondon, but they told me to ride a tricycle going to the Kain...

Los Banos

Image
"Beautiful things don't ask for attention."  A quote from the movie Walter Mitty by James Thurber (One of the most popular humorists of his time.) It was a frantic Monday and beautiful things do not happen when you are caught in a traffic jam, walking under the heat of the sun in Manila. As usual, Manila's full of truck, buses, taxis and private cars that people of the Philippines deal with everyday. So I thought that it will be a tough day for me. Finally, the clock hit 11:50 a.m and it is time to see the University of the Philippines Los Banos (UPLB) my friend's alma mater. How to Get there From Taft Avenue, Manila take the LRT going to Gil Puyat station for P15.00 only. Upon arriving at Gil Puyat station take the DLTB bus going to Sta. Cruz/Calamba Laguna. Since I bought the ticket at the DLTB station, it costs me P99.00 but you can avail the ticket for only P79.00. It was a 2 hour trip and during my travel, I enjoyed the cleanliness of the Southwoods...

Sea of Clouds: The Other Worldly Scenery of Benguet

Image
Having no coastline or seaport, Benguet province is confined to freshwaters located in the Southern tip of the Cordillera Administrative Region of the Philippines. It is also known as the "Salad Bowl of the Philippines" because of its huge production of upland vegetables. My friends and I were lucky to experience travelling Benguet last October 30, 2015. We left Manila 10:00 o'clock in the evening riding a Victory Liner bus at Pasay City. It was a six (6) hour trip from Manila. We arrived early at Baguio City and rode a jeepney going to Benguet to have our breakfast.  Travelling is fun with amazing friends! The zigzag road brought us to our 1st stop where we took our breakfast. I had a delicious Tender Boiled Beef Soup and rice which cost me P90.00, and it was worth the price. You can taste the pure beef and fresh vegetables served. Our next stop was the Ambuklao Dam situated at Bokod, Benguet.  Ambuklao Dam Sad to say this, but our guide told us t...

Mt. Batulao: Beginner's Playground

Image
June 27, 2015 - It was my first time dayhiking at Mt. Batulao. It is located at the Evercrest Golf Course, Nasugbu, Batangas. Before climbing I tried contacting Roel, a guide for the New Trail at Mt. Batulao. I saw his number 09279008496 in one of the blogs posted, but unfortunately that number is not his anymore. (haha) Since my apartment is situated nearby, I decided to leave at 4:30 in the morning. I rode a bus from my apartment going to the coastal mall which cost 40 pesos. Upon arriving at the Coastal Mall, I rode an ordinary bus going to Nasugbu Batangas for P90.00 only. I didn't think that the bus that I rode was slow, until I arrived 8:30 in the morning at the Evercrest Golf Course. Upon arriving at the Evercrest, tricycle drivers were already asking me to hire them going to the Jump Off point but I decided to get a guide and we started walking from the Evercrest. It took us 40 minutes of walking and it was a warm up for me already. If you want to take a tricycle, it cos...

Celebrating National Heritage Month in the Philippines

Image
We are celebrating the National Heritage this month of May, under Presidential Proclamation  439 series of 2003, and the National Museum reopened after its renovation. It was easy to navigate around since it was fully air-conditioned. The museum is located near Rizal Park and Intramuros Manila and seeing the Spoliarium is the highlight of my visit, a famous painting  by Juan Luna (often mispelled Spolarium). The Spoliarium garnered the 1st gold medal at the Exposicion Nacional de Bellas Artes in 1884 in Madrid.  The Oil on Poplar depicts about dying gladiators. It currently hangs at the ground floor of the National Museum of the Philippines and it is the first work of art that greets visitors upon entering the museum. Spoliarium Juan Luna's other Artworks, which includes his "Self-Portraits". Ang malinis na bungad ng Museum. The facade of the building had classical features and Renaissance inspired cultural forms. The exhibition at ...

Mt. Romelo

Image
It was a good day when a friend invited me for a climb at Mt. Romelo Famy-Siniloan, Laguna. I wasn't sure of what to wear, since I grew up in our mountain at Magallanes, Sorsogon City where we love to hike on foot full of mud, and ride Carabaos with "pakapang" (towed sledge) . So, I left home with a red JanSport backpack (with extra shirts, big bottle of water, biscuits, candies, leggings), wore a printed shirt, a brown pedal pusher which is not advisable for a climb (haha), and my favorite Lee Cooper shoes that is somehow helpful for the climb (invest for good shoes if you want to climb). Who cares anyway, I know for a fact that I can climb a mountain.  We were six on our way to Mt. Romelo, and most of them are Pro-Hikers. It was a long hour drive, and it was fun getting to know each other during our trip. Upon arriving, we looked for a place to keep safe our friend's car. Good to know that there was an available parking space so he rewarded the person in-c...

Travelling On Foot: "Within the Walls"

Image
Manila is the capital city of the Philippines known for its historical and cultural landmarks in the country. Based from my experience, I never wanted to travel to Manila, because of its heavy traffic and people swarm like bees everyday. Not to mention the heat of sun that will annoy you when summer's coming. But despite it all, I have found the secret to enjoy my travels in Manila. By travelling on foot, I enjoyed every detail of the places that I have seen and  Intramuros  is one of the best places I have been too.  Intramuros is the oldest district in Manila hiding behind the walls when the Philippines was under the Spanish regime. The construction of the defensive walls started during the 16th century to protect the city from foreign invasions. The he"ARTS" of Intramuros  The Manila Cathedral is the most visible structure that most tourist visit. It is a very solemn place dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Lady of t...
