  Our weeklong break (due to Eid al-Adha) is concluding in few hours. I am glad that I decided not to travel outside the UAE and tried a combination of staycation + never tried stuff. Productivity and leisure rolled into one. I am happy, too, that I gave Abu Dhabi Grand Prix a go last minute and that the tickets “found me” just in time even if it was impossible to source out that hour. Watching a race up close was a new experience. At first, the engine’s roaring was so deafening, despite the ear protection provided to us upon entry to the designated grandstands. It was a thrilling experience. Congratulations to Sebastian Vettel, the youngest Formula One champion.

  As much as I wanted to immediately blog about Linkin Park’s after-race concert last Saturday, I hardly sustained my excitement. I maintain this preference not to write when I am at my highest high or lowest low in order to be objective. If I did, my words probably have just read as screaming praises for Linkin Park. Now that I have gathered enough sleep, I maintain the same judgment that their performance, theirs and audience’s energy was 6 times better than the preceding night (just when I thought that it was good enough).

  The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tickets were sold out last night. And I almost lost my chance.
  
  It was not that I wanted to learn my lesson the hard way. But it really took me so long to decide if I should buy the tickets or not because months ago I anticipated that I might be traveling outside the UAE by next week’s long break. (Yes, we have a week off due to Islam’s Eid al-Adha, i.e. Festival of Sacrifice.) Also, I hesitated if Linkin Park will indeed be one of the performers at the after-race concerts. While their attendance as well as of Kanye West, Prince and others has long been confirmed by the organizers, I still reserved my doubt until its chance of happening was probable. Why? Because much more than the race, I am interested about the after-race concerts happening on the 12th, 13th and 14th of November. Yes, there goes my personal main triggers. And here’s the catch, only those who are holding the F1 race tickets will be allowed entry to the concerts. And the search is over, much thanks to those (you know who you are!) who helped us get the tickets last minute.

  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.

  Great weekend in Laguna Beach #dubai #lamerdubai #viajecitotravels #viajecito
  
  My first born furr-mily member turned 8. He blows the candle every year, but he never eats his own (delicious human) cake hahaha. He had a tuna and chicken feast though. #winello @thesquarerootofcatsanddog
  
  IG absentee because I have been (am) busy in putting my better foot forward. 💪🏻🤣🍀
  
  The night before Little J decided to be someone from Harry Potter series for their Character Day at school. (She was #sherlockholmes last time.) I immediately unlocked our #anythingharrypotter treasure chest. Not photographed are the #maraudersmap, undergarments (still in packaging) 🤣, bathrobe, more socks in the laundry basket, #platform9¾ ticket, coasters, #gryffindor banner, geeky eyeglasses, and more. I didn't realize that we don't have the #hupplepuff scarf yet. We accumulated these stuff through the years as souvenirs from our travels, except for the bookbag which we ordered from an Etsy seller from Russia and stamp/ writing set which was gifted. What a happy memory lane. ♥️ #pottermania #harrypottermerch #collectorsitems #albusdumbledoreswand
  
  Even before #mariekondo or #konmari became a verb, we had and will always 'try' to repurpose things. I remember discussing with some guests in Little J's surprise party that sustainability was one of the main considerations in our decors preps. Here's how we repurposed some of the paraphernalia from the party. Re-homed in the living room. ✨
  
  What an era. One of my fave shape shifters. May you rest in peace, @karllagerfeld 🙏♥️ #creativedirector #houseofchanel
