Ramadan Kareem

It is declared that starting today at 8:00 o’ clock in the evening Ramadan will start to our Muslim brothers and sisters. Ramadan Kareem is the most important month in Islamic Calendar; they will celebrate it with all their respect to their religion as Muslims good for one month after EID. I don’t know exactly what their events in this whole month.
As my confusions in mind will not stop thinking what Ramadan Kareem is, I interviewed one of my Muslim colleagues here he said to me that they pray 5 times in a day and here is the timings he said: 4:20 AM as Fajir, 12:25PM as Sahoor, 3:45 PM as Asir, 6:55 PM Magarep and 8:15 PM as Aisha. For their evening meal they called that as Ramadan Iftar and the early morning meal as Ramadan Sahoor. He said also that there’s no music allowed and especially the alcohol drinks.
That’s all the information I got from my colleague even though seems like I’m still confused of what he said to me but anyways thank you for sharing some information. Will just respect them as they celebrate the Ramadan this month to our Muslim brothers and sisters Happy Ramadan to all of you! By the way “Kareem” means “Happy”.

It’s all about GOLD

I just want to share with you the story of my Indian colleague here in the hotel. One day morning some of our guest pay a euro coin to pay the bill I told the waiter that you don’t know we’re not accepting coin here? And this one colleague of mine stop the waiter and he told me to accept and he will replace it in dirham. I asked him for what you’re interested with the coin he told me I’m collecting gold coins. And I asked him again what you will do with the gold coins? He just replied me this word “secret”. Anyways whatever he does with the gold coin it’s none of my business. But some people are really addicted with gold. They will buy gold not to look that they are rich but they just love it. I bumped a site that they sell gold coin or even bullion of gold, as I search on and saw lots of gold coins I’d rather to buy also one of those gold coins for investment. In this site you can easily access information about gold and you can directly online. If you’re a gold coins fanatic just visit the site.

Snow in the UAE

Yes you read it right snow in the UAE, last Saturday we went to supermarket to buy something goods for us. When we step out to the supermarket its start raining, we immediately ran and put the goods we bought to the taxi. Now I know not only Philippines having floods in the street when it rains also here in UAE. Some area of Khorfakkan we saw stuck-up waters as we passed by, maybe because they don’t have drainage. When we arrived to our room I saw something white balls in the floor together with the rain. I told them look what is that a styrofoam? One of my colleagues went outside and touches the small white ball and when she touched it the ball became water. She jumped out for joy and said to us it’s a snow! And all of us went outside to touch the snow, it’s my first time to saw a snow and it happened here in the desert area which is UAE unbelievable right?

It’s raining again

This afternoon it’s raining again here in UAE second time around hehehe. But this time I took pictures on it, because when I left in my duty it still raining that time and thanks to my roommate Beth she brought an umbrella for me. While walking grrrr I felt the cool air touching my skin and I heard also the sound of thunder. And when I arrived I immediately took my digital cam to take pictures on the rain so that I have proofed for you guys that it did rain here in UAE hehehe. Here are the pictures I took together with Ate Jovy my roommate.

Beach is temporarily close

Today in our hotel the beach is temporarily close because of these dead fish and oil scattered in the sea. Our beach hotel is nearby the Fujairah port that's why the oil keeps coming to the sea. And this day while at work I feel sleepy and boring, there's no guest arrive to check in or just simply walk-in guest to eat in the restaurant or go for swimming in the pool. When I finished my duty that time I smell something fishy hehehe yeah really guys I smell bad odor when I breathe the air ewww. Too bad for the management because they don't know what to do with this problem, I know they lost lot of money in this sea condition. But I know this sea condition will be okay few days from now. For those guest who will go for beach swimming near Fujairah sorry to tell you the beach is temporarily close at this moment.

It's my day off

In one week we only have one day off in our work *sigh* not just like other company they have 2 days off anyways it's okay with me at least we have one day hehehe. Last night I washed already my clothes so that during my off I'm free for the whole day, I slept around 3AM and wake up around quarter to 12PM. When I wake up I cooked for our brunch guess what I've cooked? A simple dish only corned beef hahaha! Then after that I opened my laptop checking my mails, blog hopping and chatting with my fiancé. We chat everyday we exchanged stories what's going on in our lives even though we're too apart *sigh*. It's too hard this kind of relationship the long distance relationship but we tried our best to be strong enough. And thanks for the inventors of this online stuff to communicate our love ones in distance hehehe. Okay guys till here, I will just enjoy my day off! God Bless us all and have a nice day!

Rain in the desert

My duty schedule for this whole month of November is early in the morning around 7:00 AM, and every time I'm going to my work the sunshine is always make my day smile. Last Thursday as I look up the sky it seems like the rain is coming, I didn't saw the sun then. As time goes on we talk with my colleagues about the weather condition that time and I told her that maybe it will rain she replied no it will not happened here in UAE. I replied to her really? I wish it will rain because in my six months staying here I didn't saw a rain. And maybe God heard me hehehe because why? Around 9:00 in the morning the rain start falling hehehe I feel like a child that I jumped in my work place, for the joy that I saw a rain again. And when I saw it I was shocked because all I know that it will not happened, UAE is a desert country but indeed it rain hehehe. Sad to say the rain not continued falling it stop around quarter to 10:00 hehehe at least I saw it.

I miss back home

Hi guys it’s been a while I didn’t share my expedition in life here in UAE so far I’m okay and still adjusting my new life and my new work here. I met new friends, new boss, new places I’ve been through and different kind of guest I met, really all for me here is totally new. But I strive hard, working with different nationality colleagues even though I really miss my family, my friends and specially my special someone there back home *sigh*.

I feel lonely and alone here but no need to worry because God is with me always and forever. He is my best friend here I share lots of things to Him when I finished my duty and go to bed, that time we talk about life. I went here just to try something new, working in other country is okay but all of us here our weakness is that missing someone back home.

Last All Saints and All Souls Day all Filipinos here are lighting candles for our loved ones who just past away. That day I really cried remembering my parents special my mom who died last May 24, 2007 I miss my mom a lot but I know my mom is happy now in the hand of our God, I just pray for their souls and ask to guide me always here.

Till here guys I need to sleep now because my duty tomorrow will start at 7:00 AM *sigh*. I just want to share with you that I really miss my life back home.
