Few days left before Valentines day which is celebrated every 14th of February where most people are busy buying something for their love ones. I suggest to bring them take them along and watch Friday the 13th movie?

Back in Dubai
I am now back in Dubai after a long vacation in Philippines. Though most of days of my stay in Philippines was raining, I still enjoyed it because I had the chance to relax and be with my family without worrying of my work. We don't experience rainy season here in Dubai as most of the year is summer. And I'm thankful that even without updating my blogs or site, I was still getting traffic and my ranking were still the same.
I will be upgrading my wordpress soon as well as changing my theme and will be posting general topics that will make this blog more informative and active.
Pinoy sa likod ng kurtina
Got this message on my email which was sent to me by a colleague. Originally it was from a lady named pinkdxbchampange. Just thought of sharing it. So here it goes…
Over a thousand Filipinos arrive in Dubai every month. And why not?
Literally, the sun shines here all year round; prosperity is in the air; and it's a place where people have reasons to dream of waking up in the morning as millionaires or with kilos of gold on their lap!
Yun nga lang, habang hindi pa nangyayari yun, iba ang nakikita ng maraming Pinoy pagdilat nila sa umaga — kurtina! Sideways…sidesteps Hindi yan dance step. That's the latest move ngayon sa mga sharing flats. Sa sobrang liit ng space, patagilid ang galaw. Kaya minsan, mga ka-flatmates, hindi na magkakitaan. "Hoy, where have you been, ba? Hindi ka na umuuwi sa flat!" Kasi nga lagi silang naka-sideview!
Private and Public holiday on Thursday to mark Isra Wal Meeraj
It was announced last week that July 31 is a holiday for public and private sector here in Dubai to mark Isra Wal Meeraj or Night Journey to Heaven
The Isra Wal Miraj recalls the night the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon Him) was sleeping near the Ka’bah in Makkah, when the Angel Jibreel (Gabriel) came to him, woke him up, and taking him by the arm, led him to Al-Buraq, a beast resembling a horse with two huge wings springing from its back. From Makkah, Al-Buraq took off toward Jerusalem. There, the Prophet was met by all the other prophets. He (Peace and Blessings be upon Him) dismounted, tethered AlBuraq to a ring in the gate of Jerusalem, and led them in Prayers.
While I was searching the net for the start and end of ramadan this year to know when will the Eid-Al-Fitr ( for my flight booking ), I found out that there there is a holiday end of July. So I looked for our company handbook and there I found that there is really a holiday.
Residents of Dubai will have a long weekend. Don't forget to look for the partial solar eclipse this coming Friday at around 2 p.m.
Photographers prepare your cameras!
