    • Greetings from the rice fields!

      Posted at 11:19 am by witsandnuts, on December 31, 2013


      I took this video few days ago when we visited my gradeschool. I remember when I did cut classes (I hardly recall if that was during 1st or 2nd grade) and joined my fellow adventurous yet nice classmates in going to the rice fields near the school. You know what happened next. I got my share of penalty but it makes me happy and proud whenever I remember this one amongst the many unorthodox things I did in life.

      Here’s a quick entry for all those who are dear to me (including those who never fail to visit my blog(s) despite the irregularity of my updates). I promised myself that I’d write something worthwhile before the end of 2013. But net connection is quite unstable nowadays probably because of the season. Hence, I thought that I’d post this video which may sum up my state right now = peaceful, grateful, happy, reconnected with everything that one will ever need in life.

      I’m more than happy that I’m able to spend the Christmas (and New Year sooooo soon) again in the Philippines after 2 years. I’m wishing everyone a happier and more meaningful new year!

      Spot the furry ornament within the Christmas tree!

      I am glad the tree is still strong enough to manage the furry, pretty ornament (Perdita).

      Santa Claus and Winello, the ever curious-super chubby cat (currently weighing 6 kilos).

      One of my most favorite Christmas books.

      Christmas bazaar catered the cravings of wide range of expats/ different nationalities. Quick fix for homesickness.

    • Christmas Village in Philippine Embassy (Abu Dhabi Office)

      Santa Claus holding UAE and Philippine flags 1
      (Imagine Santa Claus waving the flag of the UAE and Philippines.)

      I would be flying to Manila in few days and I am glad that I still had a chance to drop by in paskuhan/Christmas bazaar in Philippine Embassy (Abu Dhabi Office). The participating booths include offers and services from real estate companies, professional organizations-Abu Dhabi chapter, those offering livelihood awareness, a shoe company, Filipino restaurants, and more. The atmosphere is very festive with those banderitas and Christmas lanterns. Some of the amusing finds:

      Snapchat-5703935704258315256 Marhaba! That's "hello" in Arabic. I am an expatriate based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). I started writing about my adventures and misadventures few months before arriving here at winter of 2008. I have 2 cats and a dog who live harmoniously together. I am also surrounded by kindhearted, crazy, funny and indescribable humans! I was a dormant blogger for almost 3 years because of countless reasonable justifications like watching football, postgraduate studies, sleeping, traveling, caring for the world, and more! :) I am just so happy that I am back! It is never too late to catch up with the people and things we really care about. Feel free to look around.
