Yesterday, July 29, 2008, marked my one year in Qatar. Its astounding how I was able to survive the adversity of starting over again, but like frankie said, ” I did it my way”.
4 jobs and 2 terminations in just 2 months (*sigh* i’m too arrogant to accept this)
3 house “move outs”
an emergency experience (Doha clinic)
Christmas, New Year [...]

whose fault?

I was so upset this morning. I came too early and received the news that the new glass top on my table was a major blunder.
Last week, somebody from the factory approached me and asked if I wanted a glass for my table top. Who wouldn’t want a nice glass anyway?and so I said yes instantly. [...]

Ms. Private Lift 2. Yes, she’s a she. I was waiting for a Karwa to take me home one hot day when she stopped and asked a familiar question, “san ka kabayan? nagtatransport ako”. I was surprised to know that even ladies do transport services.
I got in and told her to take me Al Sadd. [...]

Stories of different persons I met in this country.

…me and my housemates share the same passion. collecting bedsheets! I particularly like stripes and checkered. Here are the evidences. (Note: Apat lang ang single beds namin at yung isang double, kina Benj. Nagpapatalbugan lang kami ng pagpapalit ng bedsheets weekly kaya mukhang madami.
