  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”.

  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.

  You left something great behind. May you rest in peace while savoring sisig, lechon and San Miguel beer wherever you are, the way you loved them during one of your visits in Philippines. 🍺 #ripanthonybourdain @anthonybourdain @partsunknowncnn

  I actually tuned in mainly for Suits reunion. 😂 + Amal, Oprah, Beckhams + Pippa + Queen Elizabeth because I’m obsessed with #TheCrown #Suits and #chismosa #RoyalWedding
