  I never saw myself writing about fitness. Never. I was never a fitness enthusiast. However, I realized that I have a story to tell. Somehow. Particularly to those who are like me who relatively live a sedentary lifestyle due to the nature of job and personal interests.

  I live a sedentary lifestyle just like my cats.
  
  I have gained at least 15 kg since I moved to Abu Dhabi in early 2008. Of course, the ballooning did not happen overnight. Initially, the situation was sort of ‘cute’ — just like regaining baby fats, bad angle resulting to double chin, etc. At some point I (unfairly) viewed it as a norm since most of the expats are gaining weight in the UAE.

  Winello and Perdita are naturally calm, playful, crazy, curious — with no specific order in a given day. We discovered another means though on how to get their full attention at once. Well, aside from the sound of the kibbles (feeding frenzy!)… just let them hear the song “Crickets Sing For Ana Maria”. The Very Best of Astrud Gilberto was on last night and as they heard the crickets in the intro their ears went straight and eyes bewildered like Mr. Bean’s. Continue reading →

  Hello everyone!
  
  Witsandnuts is still busy, hence, I am guest blogging to fill in her absence. The photo above is a replica of a normal scene at our cheerful home. I love making use of Witsandnuts’ leg as my pillow.

  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.

  Sat on the same spot 2 years ago. Almost got 2/3 of the bridge to myself this time. Better strategy and weather. Welcomes embarrassment more gracefully. 🤷🏻‍♀️😬 #london
  
  Visiting the church, library and market is a must for me when I’m exploring a new place. However, the John Rylands Library’s Reading Room would make you feel like you are in two different places at a time. It is like those Victorian neo Gothic churches. It is indeed a working library, mainly used by students from University of Manchester. What a gem. #librariesofinstagram #readingroom #enriqueta #enriquetarylands #photography
