Friday’s Feast (my 14th)

Philippine Tourist

I got tagged two days in a row. The tag - Lakbayan: How much of the Philippines have you visited? - which I’m going to do came from Gerr which is very interesting. So here are my results:

My Lakbayan grade is D!

The shaded part of the map are the places which I’ve been to, and I can always update this map whenever I travel anywhere in the Philippines. I know you will enjoy this tag Kuya Redlan, Ate Sasha, Pam, Tina and anyone who like to do this, just grab this ok.

Dubai.

Have you ever been to Dubai? Are you familiar with its majestic buildings and wonderful places to visit? This country actually has skyscraper buildings like hotels and business centers. There are also lots of Dubai hotels or Dubai hotel apartments which I can say luxurious and well-furnished. Globally, Dubai has emerged as a global economic player and a major tourist destination. Its evolution has been dramatic, with sweeping skyscrapers and gleaming office blocks rising up on the banks of the Creek. Development has been well managed, with a structure and order to the city that demonstrates that the oil wealth has been well handled and channelled.

Dubai is one of the places where most Filipinos have come to work to and earn. I have known people who have stayed there for years and right now, they have a very decent and peaceful lifestyle. Even if they stay in Dubai apartments, they still manage to save some money to send to their families here in the Philippines. Amazing, right?

And speaking of Dubai rentals and apartments, you can actually rent even if it is a long-term or a short-term rental. The places for rent are owned by the people from Dubai and you can simply rent them for as long as you want to! And Dubai Apartments actually does that for you, dear tourist, plus you can even choose among the hundred available properties on their site. Check out their site right now and you’ll see how easy it is to navigate and search for your desired apartment. Now that you have an idea of where to book your stay during your entire trip to this country, check out the activities you can do and the places you can visit. Highlights include the myriad souks, including the Spice Souk, Deira Old Souk and Dubai Covered Souk. One new attraction that visitors can see clearly taking shape off Jumeirah Beach are the Palm Islands, the three islands that are set to become the new focus of the city when they are completed. Further excursions can be made into the neighboring emirates and Oman.

Attractive personality - ehem! Kahit wala rin yung word na “personality”.

Sexy - Nah! Sobra naman kung attractive ako and sexy at the same time. Haha.

Shy and Reserved - Tama nga! Ganyan ako sa umpisa pero kapag nagkahulihan na tayo ng loob, I’m more likely to crack jokes to you even if it’s corny.

Secretive - sort of.

Naturally honest - most of the time.. pero di rin kasi maiiwasan ang pagsabi ng white lies.

Generous and sympathetic - err.. (nodding)

Love peace and serenity - Sino bang ayaw ng kaayusan diba?

Easily angered - Huwaaat?! Oo na, sige na. Madali akong magalit kaya wag nyo akong gagalitin! Kung hindi, lagot kayo sa akin!

Trustworthy - ehem (ulit!).. hehe
Appreciate and return kindness - :oops: (uyy, tama na. Masyado nang maraming sinasabi sa aking tama.)

Observant and assesses others - Tingin ko ganito rin ako katulad ng nabanggit ko kanina, hangga’t di pa tayo nagkakahulihan ng loob, hanggang tingin lang ako sayo at ngiti.

Revengeful - Hindi ako umabot sa puntong paghihiganti. Kasi masama yun eh at takot ako sa karma.

Loves to dream and fantasize - Oo naman! Pero hindi mga tao ang madalas kong pagpantasyahan at pinapangarap ano.

Loves traveling - Tamang-tama talaga sa akin yan! Walang lalagpas na weekend sa akin nang hindi ako lumalabas at namamasyal - kahit window shopping lang sa malls. Pangarap ko ring mag-travel sa buong Pilipinas and then sa buong mundo.

Loves attention - Hindi naman ako kulang sa pansin kaya I disagree with this.

Hasty decision in choosing partners - A big NO! Honestly, 2 lang ang naging boyfriend ko sa buong buhay ko. Wala akong naging “fling” at hindi rin naman ako mapili sa guys.

Loves home decors - Naku! Kung pwede nga lang lahat ng parte ng bahay namin lalagyan ko ng decors - candles, flowers, paintings at kung anu-ano pa.

Musically talented - May piano lessons ako before, then guitar lessons on my own (kasama na ang consultation from my brother and friends). Hindi ako magaling kumanta pero mahilig akong kumanta at bumirit! Isama mo pa ang pagsasayaw na super favorite ko! Haha.

Loves special things - Of course!! I love surprises, too! Kahit ano pa yang ibigay mo sa akin, well-appreciated na yan. So don’t forget this Christmas ha? Yung regalo ko. Sabihin mo lang sa akin kapag meron tapos ibibigay ko na alng yung address kung saan mo ipapadala. Bwahahaha!

Moody - Nung bata ako, moody talaga ako. Lagi pa akong nakanguso nun pero buti naman at di ako naging spoiled brat. Kapag wala ako sa mood, ang ginagawa ko na lang eh makinig ng music at iwasan ang mga bagay (o tao) na kinaiinisan ko at that moment.

So that’s it! All people in my blogroll are tagged! I’ve done my part and it’s your turn to do this naman. Kahit di mo na himayin or i-elaborate ang personality mo basta magkwento ka or mag-share ng kahit ano man about yourself. Tell me if you’ve done this so I can read your entry and comment on it, too ok? Do it NOW! :cool:

Aches and Pains.

A good friend of mine has been experiencing frequent head aches and dizziness for quite some time already. Whenever we’re together, he always complain about it. He also said that he’s been to the doctor already and they only gave him some aspirin (paracetamol Biogesic) to ease the pain temporarily.

Since he’s been telling me that over and over again, I’m guessing that he have a migraine. Or if not, he probably needs to go to an ophthalmologist and have his eyes check up. Because he might also have an astigmatism because he works in front of the PC most of the time. I hope the doctors would “cure” his pain so he would stop complaining to me.
