Jabel Hafeet, thirty kilometres south of Al Ain. Al Ain is known as the green city. it just reminded me of my province, Batangas when we had long trip going to this place. I went with my 3 officemates: diaa, mohd and iris then iris husband, friend and sis in law. They're all from Bacolod.


They say this is the second highest mountain in the UAE.


here's the rocky mountain


It was getting dark when we reached the top of the mountain.


Picnic time! the air was way better when you get down.



I brought the tuna pesto pasta that i made, we ate it there.We also went to mercure hotel, it was the only hotel on the top of the mountain. my syriano officemates had shisha... and then they asked us to try moroccan tea.... i love it!!! =) got home around 230am and i had to go to work at 9am same day.

today, i had an angry customer. i was trying to calm down to explain to him everything happened. he didn't really understand what i told him yesterday. he was already pressured because he will be travelling inthe next 4 days and the ticket did go up just for one day. i advised him everything. he doesnt even trust me with the price i was giving him. he asked if i was just new and said... "yes, i am new...but i know what i am doing." my job before was different than now. super different. i can't even make face and cuss him quietly because he's in front of me.

this is sooo challenging!! i want to embrace it! lovin' life

last night, i couldn't sleep. maybe i was overslept last wekeend. so, i watched 2 movies. elizabethtown and moulin rouge. i like elizabethtown because of kirsten's role... she's always this messy girl who doesnt care what she looks like... the scrapbook that he made for the guy and the maze to the girl in a carnival. i also like the part where they talk for whole day on the phone, talking anything without getting bored. i miss doing that with a friend. =D

moulin rouge...aaah this one, i can never forget the story even though i seen it just once before. i like musical love story... =P i cried again. i remember my cousin and i watched the premiere in megamall sponsored by guess...we got it for free... =D we even had wine that night... my cousin texted so fast for this promotion. hahaha...

again, i took the bus, im really venting too much... good thing, i have my ipod with me all the time.

an incident happened in the office. this guy... or should i say "kabayan" asking for help from me. first, he asked if we have filipinos around because his car broke down and he only have 10 dirhams in his pocket and police will give him ticket for penalty. he needs to take taxi to his office. he asked for 30 dirhams more. i told him that i dont have money with me which is true. he forced me to give him some. so i gave him all my coins in my purse. he even told me that he will pay more than what he ask but he never return on the same day. it was creepy. all filipinos come and ask to me... and i dont really like it. ugh!


yesterday, my flatmate called and told me that she's going to satwa to buy some mangoes. i was already getting a taxi for us. so she picked me up and went with her.... i dunno why i was happy last night... could be because ive never seen satwa full of filipinos and this filipino store has a lot of filipino products! hehehe... before going home, i bought some food for dinner in this gas station near to our place.... para kaming patay gutom... i have never been so full for the past 2 weeks... hehe later on, after watching 2 or 3 episodes of The O.C.... i went to sleep... hahaha this is the life but yesterday was something different. we didnt go home after work. =)

i loooove green mangoes with bagooong... yummie. i just thought of our office boy who stays there...i might ask him buy for more... or maybe some products which i dont get anywhere near my place. =D

waaah. i was ranting in the office that it was boring...but now, a lot of people want to leave dubai soon... they will call you today and want to travel this weekend.... too much pressure. the flights are all sold out, waistlist are also close... going to southeast asia and some part of middle east....what can i do? i wish we'll have a gateway going to US, because that's the only route i know. it's very hard to find flights... only delta and emirates fly there...

im bored at home...i just eat, sleep and watch movies. and guess what? im learning how to was and iron my own clothes... this is really a punishment for me since i dont do it in my home. i always ask our helper to do it. also, i tried to cook ginisang munggo...hahhaa i got a recipe online.

im domesticated now.
