Life’s Little Detours and Wake Up Calls
Last Tuesday I got a call from the Philippines that my sister was missing and so was all my parents’ money and jewelry. The house was left open and their room was a mess. I got paranoid and all negative thoughts flooded my mind. So I did the first thing that came into my mind […]
Happy Easter
Waking up at 5:30am is never an easy chore…especially if you stayed up until 1am editing pictures and finalizing an album layout. But today is Easter and to remember Christ’s death and resurrection, we attended an Easter Sunrise Service in Jumeirah Beach. Pastor Neville preached about repenting our sins and what a forgiving Father we […]
Out and About: A Trip to Ferrari World
Have you been to the Ferrari World in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi? It is the largest indoor theme park in the world and has the fastest roller coaster called Formula Rossa! Can you believe that? We did, so we went there last January. With me, all crazy about roller coasters and thrill rides was beyond […]
Of the Right Recipes and Success
It has been a long time since I cooked. I told myself already that I will start cooking seriously again when Khloe will be old enough to appreciate what I cook and when she can get involved and enjoy cooking too. But I love cooking and one day I craved for some Tantanmen soup. I […]
Memories of Malaysia
This is an uberdue (my word for super duper uber overdue) post which is so overdue that Khloe had one tooth that time and now she has four! On our way to Manila last December, we had a 3-day stop-over in Kuala Lumpur. We stayed at Fraser’s Place which is a fabulous place to stay, […]
Am I Assertive?
Three days ago, someone told me that I should be more assertive. Then the next day, someone shared at work that to become a leader, one should be assertive – not aggressive nor passive. Then while shopping for a book in Virgin, this book showed itself to me! If it had a voice it said, […]
Success, Dreams and Flowers
Today is a slow day at work. It is a lazy Sunday anyways. Have you ever had days when you feel unimportant? For me, it was one of those days. I thought why do other people get breaks and I don’t. I felt I deserve more than I was getting. I wondered when will I […]
Hello 2012!
This is our story… 2012 almost caught us by surprise…well, not really. 2011 was a really good year for us. We got a real taste of what parenthood really meant and we enjoyed every bit of it. It was a challenge juggling parenting, working full-time and photography all at the same time. And it could […]
Out and About: A New Pizza Place
We have sooo many backlogs we almost forgot to post and this is one of them. 2 months ago (can you believe that it is that long?!), we celebrated a friend’s birthday in Mamma Mia -one of the newest pizza places here in Dubai. Located in Radissons Blu, Dubai Marina, this small quaint Italian restaurant […]
What Matters Most
After a long day at work and a long hot drive home, I feel like a deflated balloon. The 45 degree heat in Dubai has sucked out all the life in me. I want to go on a holiday but the piggy bank is empty and the person who owes us bucks seem to have […]
