(The 7th Liwa Date Festival is going to run from 12th to 21st of July)
It’s impossible to miss the sight of ripening date fruit in Abu Dhabi nowadays. It’s interesting how nature signals what’s going to happen next. Remember the days when people would depend on the aura of clouds, behaviour of animals, how starry is the starry, starry night, and other “metrics” to tell the weather and what is yet to come?
Yes, that means Ramadan is near.
This is my entry to Photo Cache’s blog anniversary giveaway.

Dati, before the climate change, a big sandstorm indicates the coming of winter or summer. Ngayon lingo-lingo nalang may sandstorm and Ramadan is right smack in the middle of the hot season.
Wala sanang may mahilo sa mag aayuno, inshaallah.

isa sa mga inaabangan ng mga kamag anak ang dates pag uwi ko dito sa pinas at palaging ubos ito sa isang lingo lang
