What's Up

Haven't blogged in a long time, because I really didn't have much to blog about...but I miss blogging, so here goes. :)

I have been active lately, active as in I've been working out and going out and hanging out with my friends here.

I've tried Power Banghra, Latin Dancexercise and Box Fit. I enjoy doing Box Fit most, I guess it's because it's a real work out and I'm also sweating heaps from it. Haven't gone back for more than a couple of weeks now but should resume in September.

Since we moved here, I've been to Cairo, Egypt and Amman, Jordan.

I've seen the Great Pyramids, The Sphinx, REAL mummies, Petra and Dead Sea! Places that we probably would never bother checking out if we didn't move to Dubai.


Dead Sea

I'm also slowly liking Dubai. It's not home, will never be like home but it's getting better.

That's because:
1. I've met people that I know I can be friends with even after we all leave Dubai;
2. We've found restaurants that we like;
3. Shopping here is not bad during Dubai Shopping Festival and Dubai Summer Surprises; and definitely not the last
4. Steve and I are getting closer and closer each day because we only have each other here.

But I will never get used to:
1. The scalding hot weather here and I'm about to experience hotter weather in the next two months;
2. Hot tap water even if you opt to not use hot water;
3. Doing the laundry - taking it out of the washing machine, hanging it, folding it and putting it away;
4. Doing the dishes - rinsing it, placing them inside the dishwasher, putting it away;
5. Changing the sheets; and, also definitely not the last
6. Sand storms.

But in all honesty, it's not so bad. Actually, I've been quite spoiled here. So I'm thankful for that.

I've also cooked, baked and blended drinks! Although we still eat out most of the time. :)

I miss home, I miss my family, I miss my friends, I miss going to "work". I miss everything and everyone back home.

But as long as we're here, there's nothing I can do but make most out of our stay here, and that's what I'm doing.
